The news of the disappearance of the current leader of Black Poker, Culens, and the suspected death spread all over the players' forums almost instantly, and the people of Black Poker did their best to prevent the news from being revealed, but it was clear that it could not stop the players.

Aaron, a big mouth, has long uploaded what he has experienced on the forum.

1L: Cullens is missing? How did he go missing? Isn't he something like a faction mentor? (Dazed.)

2L: Grass, yes.

3L: yes, now as long as you choose the gangster profession, nine times out of ten, you are born in the category of the black poker responsible block, and the whole automatic post, and then go to the black poker stronghold for training......

4l: There is still training to be a gangster? What kind of training?

5l； I heard that according to ability, the bias of the combat department will arrange tasks such as street patrols, fire fights, collecting protection money and bodyguards, and after completing a certain task, you can exchange weapons or teach fighting skills.

6l: Good guys, good formal gang process.

7l: Don't go too far, what's going on with Culens, @阿龙

Aaron: Here's the thing, I'm taking a good look at the new ones today, and suddenly the alarm sounded in the black poker stronghold, it seems that it was from the boss of Calens, so everyone rushed out, of course I also drove out in a black car, and I saw a bunch of people fighting at one of the black poker strongholds, and we still had a disadvantage, I could bear it, and the van rushed out, and guess who I saw?

8l: Who do you see?

Aaron: The players from the opposite faction, but I don't remember the exact ID, but I still remember the different markers of the faction.

Aaron: Later, when they broke out, the car on the street outside suddenly ran out of control and rushed towards us, and they managed to break through and leave, at which point we went back to the office to look for Culens, but he was gone.

9L: Grass, is this ......

10l: Faction vs. ???

Druid: Do the players you see have the word 'stargazing' on their IDs?

Not crazy: yes, I was there at the time, and I was just trying to mention that they did.

Druid: That's right, they did join the Inspectorate, so the disappearance of Cullens must have been done by someone from the Inspectorate.

11L: But ...... Why would they do it?

12l: Don't forget, our secret church seems to be, probably, should belong to the cult camp, and is naturally opposed to the inspection bureau.

13L: Good guys, is this going to be a faction war?

14l: Hastily, faction confrontation?

15L:, I'm starting to get excited, are we going to be villains!

16l: Upstairs, don't talk nonsense, don't forget that the inspection bureau itself is also strange, we are not necessarily villains, maybe we are on the side of the chaos?

17l: That makes sense, too.

18l: Nobody cares about Culens, I can eat his face and identity, how can I say that if it is gone, where did Cullens go, was he captured, or was there no body left??

19L: I don't know, I hope people are okay.

20l: Hope people are okay (pray)

Karens, who is being discussed by the player, is currently in Rann's divine realm, trying to hit the first layer of the Dream Gap.

If there is no way to break through the first layer in the sky and obtain the origin, then the actions after that will naturally have nothing to do with Callens.

This is not acceptable to Cullens in any way.

The flame of revenge burned in his heart, and he had been attacking the first layer of the Dream Gap almost sleeplessly for the past two days.

Breaking through the first layer of the dream gap seems to be very easy, after all, it is just walking the ladder and experiencing some spiritual pollution, which is much easier than the later tests, but in fact, people who are new to the beginning often get stuck in this step.

After all, people's willpower and mental power are different, some people can quickly get rid of the effects of mental pollution after walking through the crazy whispering of the staircase fog, but some people are often immersed in madness and can't extricate themselves.

Edmund and Archie, who were just getting started, had also been in this level for more than half a year, and they gradually approached the platform after getting used to this level of pollution.

But Cullens, who had been almost suicidal for the past two days, had not rested, and attacked the first level of the Dream Gap with all his might.

And Ran, who has no experience in this area, doesn't know how deadly Cullens's behavior is, and Ogle also can't understand human beings, and the only thing he may know is that Edmund and Archie can't contact Rann for the past two days, so Cullens died under the gaze of two unreliable gods.

The first madness soon came.

With no one to guide him, Cullens did not leave the Dream Gap before the flashlight went out, and was soon soaked in fog and lost his mind.

Rann and Ogle watched as Cullens suddenly sat up from the vine-woven bed and laughed, banging his head against the wall like a mentally ill person, gnawing on stones, covering his face and crying bitterly, grabbing the legs of a passing nurse and calling for his mother.

emmmmm……

Rann realized that something was wrong, and looked at Ogle dumbfounded: "What should I do in this situation?" ”

Ogle was silent for a moment, revealing the same blank face.

Two non-humans: what, through the Dream Gap there would be such a side effect?

Ran's dream gap is fundamentally different from the believers, he didn't encounter any difficulties on the ladder, it is said that he can even pass through the fog, the experience has no reference at all, I don't know what Ogel's situation is, but he doesn't seem to be a human being, whether there is a dream gap or not.

So neither of them knew what to do now.

At this moment, Rann had a flash of inspiration, remembering that when Edmund and Archie had fallen into madness before, they seemed to react to the light in the gap in his dreams.

Why don't you give it a try?

Ran's mind moved, and instead of returning to the Dream Gap, the light spot in the Dream Gap appeared in front of him.

This is a new feature he recently discovered, originally the small light spots in this dream gap could not appear in reality, but maybe because his divine kingdom does not belong to reality, it also belongs to the gap between reality and dreams, so the light spots can appear here.

Rann gently pinched the point of light that belonged to Culens, and in an instant, Culens, who had been going crazy, stood still.

But this is just not moving, and it is not out of the state of madness.

Rann thought for a few seconds and decided to try the same features he had used at the banquet before, and he thought back to the feeling he had felt at the beginning, and his consciousness gradually probed into the point of light.

When he opened his eyes again, part of Ran's consciousness was already able to control Cullens's body, and the strange feeling that seemed to have become two people hit again, and then Cullens suddenly spoke:

"My lord?"

"Are you awake?" Rann withdrew from that feeling, looked at the blank Culens, and asked curiously, "What did it feel like just now?" ”

“…… When I was in the fog, I felt like my sanity was completely out of control," Cullens whispered, "It's like a ship that is lost in the sea, not knowing the right direction, sensing what is happening in reality, but not being able to control its body until you ...... just now"

Cullens hesitated: "A powerful and majestic will descended on my body, as if it had pulled my consciousness back from the brink of madness. ”

Does the Divine Descent still have this kind of function? Rann was thoughtful: "You'd better take a break." ”

"No, I don't have time." Cullens pursed his lips, and the hatred and pain that plagued him all the time at the thought of what the group had done to him.

-for-tat for blood for blood has always been the purpose of the gang, and Cullens has always been stingy in this regard, and the shame of being oppressed and threatened always pokes at his backbone and makes him unable to feel at ease.

"My lord, forgive me for my presumptuousness, if I fall into madness again, you can still ......"

"Yes, yes, but I promise it will work every time." Rann said, "There is more than one chance for revenge, so why should you risk your life?" ”

Cullens smiled softly, and said, "I've always been here, that's how I came. ”

In this line of work, Cullens has come all the way to the present, just two words, one is forbearance, and the other is ruthless.

Patience and not doing superfluous things when you can't match the enemy in front of you, like when Cullens was pressed to put on his helmet by the inspectors.

Fierce, to themselves, but also to the enemy.

If this opportunity is missed, Cullens doesn't know when he will be able to get his revenge back.

Without resting, I walked straight into the stairs again, and then went crazy again.

God descended, sober, crazy.

Time passed little by little, there was no rest in the middle, and the extremely tired spirit almost just entered the gap of dreams, and when he took a step, he was on the verge of madness, and was awakened, and his mind began to be in a trance.

Unable to take it anymore, Rann gave birth to White Flowers and forced Karlens to sleep, and an hour later Karlens woke up again and entered the dream gap again.

It's like a wolf with a grudge.

Rann whispered to Ogle, and he could see that only the thoughts of revenge were supporting Cullens's crazy behavior.

Ogle also looked at Cullens and said, "I think he's quite excited." ”

Rann:? Have it.

Ogle mused, "It feels like revenge and hunting. ”

Hearing this, Rann looked at Cullens, who had closed his eyes, and the other party had just woken up from his sleep this time, and had entered the gap between his dreams again, and there was a faint excitement between the eyebrows and eyes of the Yin Owl.

Rann remembered a previous time he had seen a memory of Cullens in the psychotherapy room.

At that time, Cullens, who was still weak, could only choose to endure in the face of the transcendent who could pinch him to death at any time.

And not long ago, when he met the transcendent again, he could only choose to be patient.

So this time, not in a hurry to get revenge back, but a revenge he has been waiting for?

Cullens didn't know how much time had passed, and since he began to practice into the Dream Gap, it seemed that time had lost its meaning, and he was immersed in madness and wakefulness every day.

Until this moment, Cullens stepped on the first platform.

The maddening fog fades away, replaced by a test of the first layer of platforms.

[Fear]

Cullens had already learned about the test of the first layer of the platform from Ran, so he was mentally prepared, but he was still a little confused, because he was not sure what he feared.

In the next moment, the platform filled with fog and darkness disappeared in an instant, and flames and monsters appeared in front of Karens's eyes again.

…… Hey?

Screams and screams crept into his ears, and Cullens stood in the street, unable to react until a burning piece of wood above his head suddenly fell from the building and slammed it on his head.

"Ahh

The pain struck, and Cullens endured the burning pain on half of his face, and moved to the ground before the burning wood fell on him, narrowly not being crushed.

But my face hurts, why is the pain so obvious? This should be just a test.

Cullens covered his face and gasped, and the blood fell to the ground drop by drop, when the sound of breaking wind was heard behind him.

"Boss, be careful!"

Karlens was thrust out by a force behind him, turned around, and saw a familiar man standing in place of him, his chest pierced by the hideous mouthparts from behind.

He remembered the man's face, a younger brother from a gang following him, as if his name was Marcus......

"Run! Boss Callens Run! Marcus shouted, "Black poker is over, the leader is dead, the city is hopeless, get out of here!" ”

What is he saying?

Cullens watched Marcus being thrown to the ground and gnawed on by the monster behind him, his mind went blank, he knew this kind of monster, he had seen it at the banquet, it seemed to be called a ghoul?

What the hell is going on?

Callens subconsciously ran in the direction of the exit of the city, and along the way he saw countless pedestrians being chased by monsters, and he saw the burning flames on the buildings, and the collapse of the houses, as if the end of the world.

He remembered that he had seen it.

Isn't this the disaster that preceded Arkham City? Why is he back here?

You can't get out of here quickly just by running, Cullens found a car on the side of the road that was empty, the back seat of the car was spilled with blood, you don't have to guess what happened here, Cullens remembers that he is obviously going to overcome this test now, but for some reason his mind is blank, and he has a thought in his heart, escape from here and live.

The car started, and Cullens went on a rampage on the road, not stopping for anyone, and rushed straight out of Arkham City.

Just a minute after he drove away, a fog began to rise around Arkham City.

When Cullens drove some distance, he subconsciously parked the car on a small hill and got out of the car to look in the direction of Arkham City.

Arkham City, gone.

"How could it be......" Cullens looked with his mouth open as he looked at what should have been a city to sit, but now it was a void of nothingness.

No one remembers the city, except for the ghosts that fled from it.

His past, his present, his future.

They were all buried in that city, and from then on Callens wandered in the dark, in a muddle, and the walking dead, until he found his reason to live again.

That is revenge.

No, it's not!

The city of Arkham was not destroyed!

One day, Callens woke up next to a garbage can in an alleyway in a strange city, suddenly covering his head and banging his head against a nearby wall in an attempt to sober himself up.

It's just a test! It's fake! It's fake!

Because the real city of Arkham has a clear ......

God saved Arkham.

Yes, Cullens remembers it well, and he desperately recalls that scene like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

A figure covered in light appeared, and he closed the door, and he cut the monster behind the door, dividing the two worlds again.

He is...... Saved Arkham and saved his gods.

Click-

The scene in front of him was like a shattered mirror, divided into several pieces, Cullens gasped and came back to his senses, he had returned to the kingdom of God from the gap in his dreams, and in the face of Rann and Ogle's sight, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, palm up, and a wolf pattern made of blood-colored liquid appeared, and then catapulted out in all directions, and disappeared.

Cullens could faintly trace the location of the wolf pattern, and in an instant he had already understood his origin ability.

[Blood Hunt], the effect is that anyone who has hurt Culens, an invisible mark will appear on his body, and at the same time, Cullens can track the enemy's location in real time, the initial blood wolf is marked as one, and only by solving the enemy can a new mark appear.

At the same time, once Cullens attacks the tagged enemy, the mark will turn into an entity, and over time, the mark will gradually corrode the enemy's body until death.

Rann looked at the blood wolf pattern on Cullens' hand in a daze, and muttered, "Blood Avenger? ”

"What did you say?" Cullens wondered.

"Nothing." Rann was in a rather complicated mood, looking at Cullens's gloomy but handsome face, and it was difficult to connect the disfigured gang boss in his memory with Cullens for a while.

Scarlet Avenger, is the nickname given to an NPC by players in the previous life, this NPC is the opener of the main line "The Fall of the Inspection Bureau", a gang boss with a disfigured face on half of his face, it is said to be self-made, with a mysterious origin, no one knows his name, the only thing he knows is his terrifying face and hoarse voice like a crow that can stop children's night crying.

The blood wolf pattern that Cullens had on hand just now is the iconic pattern of this NPC, and it is also the reason why he is called the Scarlet Avenger by players, as long as he offends him, the ends of the earth cannot escape this person's revenge.

And the biggest revenge he set off was undoubtedly the revenge on the Inspection Bureau, although no one knew why he did it.

Good fellow, he's actually Cullens??? Rann hadn't known Cullens for so long.

Well, it could also be because he hadn't seen this NPC much in his previous life.

Rann coughed: "Okay, now that you have successfully broken through the first layer and awakened the Origin Ability, then I will also be the talker, and this time the operation will be handed over to you to command, you can go back and think about how to retaliate against them." ”

"No," Cullens grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "I had a plan in mind. ”

"Their next step must be to find those who have survived the banquet."

Cullens said.

"They came to me because they suspected that I was a puppet of the Secret Church to master black poker, and that banquet was the key to the replacement of old and new leaders."

"Since that feast, I've destroyed all traces of what might have been associated with you, but there's only one thing, and that's the people who survived the feast."

Only those people, Cullens had no way to extinguish it, and even said that if it wasn't for Cullens pulling the banner in the name of Rann at that time, Black Poker would have been almost destroyed by those gangs.

Of course, the situation is different now, after this disaster, the strength and territory of black poker have expanded, but other underground forces have regressed.

As a result, Cullens' position as the leader was secured, and he no longer needed to rely on Ran's power, but now that Black Poker was almost equated with the Hidden Church, it didn't matter if he borrowed it or not.

"You want to kill those people?" Rann asked.

"No, this is too wasteful, and it is easy to cause a backlash from other forces, although they are not as strong as black poker, but even black poker needs to be feared when they join forces." "Why don't we just use this force to defeat those inspectors!" ”

Rann hooked his lips: "It looks like you already have a plan, so this time the camp battle will be handed over to you to command." ”

"Don't let me down, Cullens."

"Yes," Cullens said, taking off his hat and bowing slightly to Ranne, his voice hoarse, "I will use the blood of my enemies to wash away this humiliation." ”

……

Job's plans were to repeat the old trick and ask the survivors of the feast what had happened.

At this time, it was Edie's turn to come in handy, the origin of [Cyber Ghost] is simply not very easy to use in modern society, and with his hacking skills, it is a powerful weapon for obtaining information.

Edie can control various electronic devices for a short time when he uses his ability, as long as it is connected to the Internet, it is his eyes and siblings, the only weakness is that it consumes brain power, and Edie's willpower is not high, so far he has been stuck in the first layer without breaking through, so he can only use his ability in key places.

However, his own hacking skills are enough on weekdays.

A day later, Edie searched the list and addresses of all the Black Bosses who had attended the party that night, compared the death lists and those who had died in the gang fight, and finally filtered out all the remaining in Arkham City, only 7.

"Seven people." Job looked at the list, "Let's see who of these men is best approached." ”

"Well, I'm looking for it." Edie's fingers flew across the keyboard, and soon the screen split into different screens, each with a different person doing something, and it was clear that this was real-time monitoring.

These black bosses are under heavy protection on weekdays, and it is not easy to get close, and it seems that they have received the news of the death of the black poker leader, and the security measures have been strengthened again, making it difficult to get started.

But fortunately, another day later, just when Edie almost couldn't help but use his power, one of them had to send more members out to work because of cash flow problems, and there were holes in the surrounding defenses.

The Jobians had a brief meeting.

"Is this time the same as last time?" Dinah asked.

Job nodded: "Well, like last time, Destiny, you are responsible for stalling for time outside. ”

The stargazing team nodded bitterly.

If it weren't for the first part of the chain of quests, investigating black poker, which had already been shown to be completed and a nice reward had been given, they would have wanted to retreat.

But now that the second ring mission has been released, I can't regret it.

[Second Ring Mission: Survivor of the Scarlet Banquet.] 】

[Contents: Please piece together the truth about the original banquet from the mouths of these survivors.] 】

[Mission Level: Critically Critical.] 】

Good guys, the second ring jumped straight to the critical.

Destiny is in me, they are greedy and afraid, in the last round of missions, they were all shot, and it took two days to recover half of their blood, which is really scary.

"This mission, Dinah, Edie, and Eunice, you all come with me." Job then said.

Edmund pointed at himself, his face blank: "What about me?" ”

"You're staying here for the time being, and you need someone to protect you here." Job said that in fact, he had quietly agreed with Edmund in private before, this time it was temporary, first, he really needed someone to stay at home, and second, Edmund had experienced too little investigation, and Job did not want the other party to see this kind of scene so early.

In the end, of course, it was used to confuse us and others about the destiny of heaven, and Job did not trust them.

However, they were unaware of the suspicions that the inspection team had placed on them, and after hearing this, they thought that Job was beginning to believe their information.

Soon, everyone began to move, and rushed to the location of the black boss in two cars.

The spot was on the edge of the city, there weren't many people around, it was some distance from Job's stronghold, and the inspection team's car stopped for two minutes to rest, and Dinah got out of the car with a blank face, and then came back with a nonchalant face.

On the way, Destiny kept looking at the forum, clicking on the post from time to time to brush up on the latest reply, worried.

"Captain, it's okay, didn't the analysts in the guild say that at least after the first attack, the players over there might notice and consciously organize a counterattack." The fat man has a wide heart and a fat body.

"The last time we entered the black poker turf, when we were about to retreat, we encountered a player interception, and that player was also a little famous, called Aaron, and he once posted in the forum." Destiny sighed in me, "I'm worried that players will notice our actions, isn't there still speculation in the forums about faction warfare." ”

"How can this be a camp war," the fat man rolled his eyes, "The combat power is not commensurate at all, and there are only a few players on our side?" How many players are there over there? If we really start a camp war, one person on the other side can spray us to death with a mouthful of water. The official wouldn't do this if he wasn't stupid, and besides, didn't the other players in our Stargazing Guild who joined the Hidden Church also have no news. ”

"That's right." Under the persuasion of the fat man, the Mandate of Heaven finally relaxed in me, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

If there is such a large-scale event as Faction Wars, it will definitely not be hidden from the players, and they can spy on the actions of other players in the forums at any time, and there is no possibility of being suddenly attacked.

Soon the car started again, driving towards the edge of the city, the stronghold of the black boss was not in a residential area, but in the basement of a small workshop, and the surrounding neighborhoods were their territory, and the gangsters and homeless people who seemed to be hanging out nearby could be eyeliners.

According to the plan, just like last time, the stargazing team will find a way to attract the attention of this group, and then Edie hacks into the monitor, in this modern society, no surveillance is equivalent to a blind person, and the rest of Job can take the opportunity to enter here and go straight to the leader's office.

At first, things went well, Destiny went to set a fire to me, attracting all the eyeliner in the vicinity to extinguish the fire, Edie's fingers moved into the black to monitor, Job and they acted quickly, walked to one of the phone booths, and pressed the number according to the code that Edie had found out before, and soon the phone booth turned into an elevator, carrying them down.

Below is an underground stronghold, where Job and the others quickly complete their disguises, and when they get out of the elevator, they are dressed not much different from the surrounding gangs.

It's just a little strange, why are there so few people in this stronghold?

Edie whispered, "It is said that it is a bad business, and many people have been sent out to collect protection money." ”

It's not easy to gang up these days.

Job shook his head, dispelled the rising thoughts, and went straight to the central room along the route he had found, knocking on the door in a pretended manner.

There was a 'come in' from inside

Job and the others walked in, and a middle-aged man with a big belly sat behind his desk, seeming to be looking at the bill, and when he heard someone come in, he looked up at them, his expression flashed a trace of astonishment, and then asked, "Who are you?" ”

Job said, "I'm sorry, but we're here to inquire with you about something. ”

The middle-aged man's expression quickly regained his composure, and said, "I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Job sensed something was wrong: "What are you talking about?"

Almost in the next moment, the middle-aged man bent down and hid behind his desk, while Job heard the roars of Dinah and Edie:

"Get out of the way!"

"Captain! Bomb! ”

Boom –

The floor of the office burst open in an instant, and white light filled the sight of Job and the others.

At the same time, the stargazing team outside playing peek-a-boo with the firefighters received a reminder at the same time.

【Faction Wars Begin】

Stargazing Squad: ???

Boy? I originally thought that the gap in numbers was too big to fight, but it turned out that this game operation was so sassy?

Destiny changed my face: "It's not good, start the faction war, doesn't it mean ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent roar suddenly came from under his feet!

It's a trap!

Kalens stood at the top of a tall building, holding a telescope and looking in the direction of the black smoke, a smile on his lips.

"This is just the beginning."

In the realm of God, Rann planted a spiritual seed in reality through Cullens, a plant that only true believers can see, and after Ran's transformation, a structure similar to an eye grew at the top, and he observed the scene with great interest.

It's time to see how much power players can play against the Inspectorate NPCs. ：，，.
