Outside the secret basement, the handsome player leaned against the wall, listening to the sounds inside.
'Black Rabbit' needs to complete her role's mission, but her combat power is insufficient. The handsome player needs to lure the 'ghost' into the place to wait for him to come to her, so they choose to cooperate.
Based on the previous information, the ghost's obsession lies in his own past and the fact that he was sacrificed, so the handsome player is certain that the ghost will come.
Actually, the handsome player wasn't in a good mood at the moment. Last night, he thought he had it in the bag, but he didn't expect the Scarlet Witch to have a stun ability that he didn't know about, and that she even knew to grab a pistol and attack him.
The monster's intelligence exceeded his expectations, and the handsome player was now completely certain that this little monster had been hiding its true strength all along.
He wanted it even more; the smarter and more powerful the creature, the greater the sense of accomplishment from 'subduing' it.
"You discovered that the Scarlet Witch looked exactly like your birth mother, and since the Scarlet Witch has a strong self-healing ability, you simply destroyed your wife's face, didn't you?" The young lady was still trying to extract information, and her question was firm and resounding, carrying a strong sense of pain and condemnation.
"Truly a genius of the disguise style," the handsome player thought to himself. "Such emotional resonance is something most people can't achieve."
According to the young lady herself, her role is to find out the truth, which is about right, isn't it?
The handsome player looked at the watch on his wrist, straightened up, and walked into the basement hidden beneath the laboratory.
The arrival of the new guest made the people inside nervous.
"Who are you?" The hunting team leader spotted him and looked closely. "You are... the man Su Su brought back?"
The hunting team leader was unaware of the situation, nor did he know that the young lady had been kidnapped, but the base leader knew perfectly well. Upon seeing this man, he was instantly filled with rage and turned to glare at his daughter: "You brought this?"
The young lady remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.
The base leader felt a surge of anger at being betrayed: "You'd rather use this person against your own father?"
"Compared to those who sell their wives and children to pave their own way, at least I'm honestly bad enough." The handsome player added fuel to the fire from the side, while also drawing attention away from the conflict.
He also wanted to take 'Black Rabbit' with him; he couldn't just watch her perish here.
"Susu, leave now, and I'm willing to forgive all your abnormal behavior today." The base leader looked at the handsome player and the young lady behind him, and he vaguely knew that things wouldn't end well today.
The young lady reached out and closed the door, then stepped aside, leaving the battlefield to the handsome player and the base leader.
The hunting team leader calmly took out his pistol.
With a "whoosh," a throwing knife flew directly towards the hunting team captain. However, the captain had weathered many storms over the years and dodged it immediately, escaping injury.
The handsome player toyed with the specially made throwing knife fan in his hand, still smiling: "No one is leaving until I give permission."
The base includes government office areas.
Whether it was because the lower classes had been oppressed for too long and thus their resistance was stronger, or because the bombing of Samantha had depleted much of the official resources, the demonstrators stormed the government building for the first time.
The lush greenery and the empty gardens made my eyes water.
The base government has always provided very good treatment; each floor has a dedicated tea room, and snacks and fruits are provided. However, outside, these snacks and fruits are luxuries that the lower classes can only afford a few times a year.
People who haven't eaten normal food in a long time feel unbalanced when they see the snacks and fruits available for free.
Although a group of people tried to stop it, looting and vandalism still occurred at the scene.
Samantha, who was mixed in with the crowd, was not surprised. He was just wondering: Where did the base leader go?
As far as he knew, the al-Qaeda leader hadn't left the base for the past six months, and his office even had a private rest room. But that office had been vandalized by protesters, and the leader wasn't there at all.
Furthermore, he discovered something: the official forces were suffering heavy losses, but they seemed unable to contact higher-ups or receive instructions. So, with the base on the verge of destruction, where was the base leader?
Saman carefully examined the ruins of the base leader's office. Finally, he discovered a built-in safe behind an inconspicuous printer.
They pried open the safe, only to find some documents inside that weren't important to the players. Just as Saman was about to throw them away, he suddenly noticed a strange agreement.
"Transferring base assets?" It seemed that the base leader was transferring some of his assets. Saman looked around and found four asset transfer certificates, all signed within the last six months.
Who would be in a hurry to transfer assets? Either because they need money to fill certain gaps, or because they're leaving. The base leader, the one with the most power, would he be short of money, or even need to fill vacancies?
"He wants to run, but where to?" Saman was increasingly puzzled. This man controlled a base; what could be more attractive to him than such a base?
Fragments swirled in Saman's mind, but he lacked a thread to connect them. He stood up and walked outside.
Saman went against the flow of people, pulled up the hood of his clothes, and put on a mask.
The base is in such a mess that the base leader hasn't shown up, which means he's either trapped or doing something he considers extremely important, even more important than the entire base itself. Even the hunting team leader hasn't appeared.
The rebel leader's female leader had given him a map that marked the location of the base's largest secret location.
Saman thought he knew where to find the base leader.
But when Saman found the laboratory with ease, the researchers and guards were all fast asleep. All the doors opened easily, and the path to the laboratory was unobstructed.
It didn't take him long to locate the capsule that had previously contained the Scarlet Witch.
There was a passageway nearby. After pressing it, he saw a slide-like passageway. Without much hesitation, Saman jumped in.
Outside the base.
Tonight, due to the rebels, half the guards at the base entrance were gone, and Ren Yifei stood in the darkness watching.
He saw the illuminated ice coffin containing a sleeping corpse, the one he had watched die with his own eyes, who had a relieved smile on his face before he died.
Number Seven probably never imagined that even in death, he would not escape the fate of being used.
These created monsters seem to have been placed in a fixed trajectory of fate, and no matter how they struggle, they are destined to follow their predetermined fate.
The instance was created by an obsession that transcends life and death, and this obsession arose because it could not break free from the cage of fate.
destiny...
A gigantic phantom appeared in the thick fog, looming over the land like a towering mountain, its red eyes gazing down upon the earth.
With the unlocking of yet another emotion, the 'illusion play' intensifies once more.
The monsters in the shadows peeked out and saw the pair of red eyes in mid-air. A voice seemed to appear in their minds, saying: Obey him.
Ren Yifei slowly stretched out his hand, and a small ink-black fan appeared in his hand. With a casual wave, the wind rose, the clouds surged, and the huge phantom became twice as large.
Monsters from all over emerged from their lairs and converged on the base.
Their footsteps on the ground caused a major earthquake.
The people at the base finally noticed something was wrong. They were terrified and frantically made phone calls: "Hello? Monster, monster, huge monster! So many... Ah?! Apes!"
The gatekeeper collapsed to the ground, and a beautiful monster in a red robe emerged from the darkness. He looked at the base, and also at the cage where the Scarlet Witch was imprisoned.
"To hell with fate. The siege!"
The gatekeeper couldn't get through to the hunting team leader by phone, and the atmosphere in the basement was tense.
Not long ago, Saman fell into it.
Everyone in the basement was startled when the wall suddenly opened and a figure rushed out. Without a word, the hunting team leader fired at the figure.
Saman barely managed to land before he did a side somersault to avoid the bullet.
He also saw his location clearly: a basement. Standing there were the base leader, the hunting team captain, and two players. There was a semi-circular platform with an oval coffin on it.
The small basement, only a few dozen square meters, became very crowded because of their presence.
Saman glanced at the people who were clearly divided into two groups, took a step back, and did not favor either side.
"It's quite a scene today," the hunting team leader sneered. "I had no idea our base was being turned into a sieve, with all sorts of people hiding inside."
"There's a lot you don't know." The handsome player glanced at Saman, then turned to the NPC duo: He'd had his fun, the NPCs should be dealt with quickly.
Saman's arrival made the handsome player feel a little threatened. He could play with the NPCs like a cat toying with a mouse for a long time. Anyway, the Scarlet Witch hadn't arrived yet, so he was bored.
But then another powerful player arrives—the same player who previously abducted the Scarlet Witch. This person might try to steal the final reward from him, which is unacceptable.
The hunting team leader, who was being watched, immediately sensed something was wrong, but it was no use. Faced with the players who were starting to take things seriously, none of the NPCs in this world had the combat strength to fight one-on-one.
The handsome player unleashed a barrage of golden stars, creating an invisible electric net between them. The hunting team captain reacted swiftly, but the net covered a vast area, while this place was too small, leaving no escape.
With a sizzling sound, like the sound of an electric mosquito swatter, only a hundred times louder, the hunting team leader was electrocuted and charred right before their eyes.
The base leader was taken aback: "You're not human?!"
The handsome player pointed, and the golden starlight shrank back and dispersed in a certain direction: "Of course I am human, but not an ordinary human."
His next target was not an NPC, but Saman.
The NPC is not a threat, but this player might be the obstacle.
Saman was prepared. As the electric net rushed towards him, he exploded like a wisp of smoke and then quickly reformed on the other side. The blue water rippled in his hand and, centered on him, transformed into a rapidly spinning blue moon wheel.
"Azure Moon Wheel, Saman?"
The Azure Moon Wheel is known for its speed; it can go as fast as one's thoughts and ignores defense. The handsome player dodged in time, but still had a section of his arm severed.
Then his 'Flying Star' was also taken away by the Azure Moon Wheel, resulting in a one-for-one trade at the ultimate cost.
But he also recognized the player's true identity.
This rare item was possessed by only one person; it was the weapon of a boss in a high-level dungeon that had already been cleared. Saman took it directly after clearing the dungeon.
"Long time no see, Ke Bei," Saman replied, and then withdrew the Azure Moon Wheel. This item is very efficient, but it also has many limitations; it can only be used once per instance.
Most of the time, this would be enough to instantly kill the opponent, but unfortunately, it wasn't this time.
Of course, if it can cut off a piece of Ke Bei's arm and destroy one of his props, then this appearance is worth the price of admission.
The handsome player, Ke Bei, pressed down on the broken part of his arm and skillfully used a high-grade hemostatic bandage to bandage the wound with one hand.
Except for a very small number of players who have the opportunity to obtain healing-type items, ghost cards, and skills, most players have to carry bandages when entering dungeons.
Ke Bei brought it too, thank goodness he did, otherwise the excessive blood loss alone would have made him collapse to his knees.
The young lady watched the two players fight amongst themselves, her expression turning ashen: it seemed this time it wouldn't work out again. These people wouldn't be her allies.
She looked at the base leader: "Where are you going?" It turned out that the base leader was sneaking out while the players were fighting each other.
Ke Bei swung the knife, piercing the base leader's thigh.
"Who gave you permission to leave?"
The base leader fell to the ground, but his thigh quickly closed up without bleeding. The handsome player and Saman both sensed something was wrong, while only the young lady bit her lip.
"Hahahaha..." The base leader slowly turned his head. The blackness in his eyes blurred and turned into a thick fog, with no whites left in his eyes. Horns like withered wood sprouted from his forehead, and his fingernails grew.
"I was planning to wait for the Scarlet Witch to arrive before dealing with her together." He stood up and turned around.
"It's a pity you're so eager to die."
The author has something to say: When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
Young lady (trembling with anger): You two idiots!!!
