"Whizz whizz whizz!"
These symbols suddenly exploded with a fierce attack, shooting in all directions. Bei Diao, who was closest, caught a glimpse and imdiately died tragically, his body falling to the ground.
The whole process happened so suddenly, not even a second passed. Su Ran hadn’t had ti to react, and Bei Diao had already died heroically. Standing behind Bei Diao, Su Ran was lucky enough to dodge the calamity. Wang Cai retreated in fear, barking incessantly as if to bolster its courage, or perhaps to issue a warning.
Then.
Before Su Ran could catch his breath, those characters that should have flown away returned like boorangs, all shooting into Bei Diao’s corpse, burrowing into the flesh.
"..."
Seeing the corpse destroyed beyond recognition, Su Ran couldn’t bear to look any longer and dared not go near Bei Diao’s body. He understood that even if he stuffed Reincarnation Grass into Bei Diao’s mouth, it wouldn’t bring him back to life given such a grueso death. The system should have forcibly refreshed it, it’s really strange!
"Dead... dead..."
At this mont of bewildernt, a scene terrifying Su Ran occurred. Bei Diao’s corpse climbed off the ground, his eyes crimson, features ferocious, foaming at the mouth, and staggered towards Su Ran.
"Oh my, is this... reanimation?"
Su Ran stared at Bei Diao in shock, suddenly understanding. The system hadn’t refreshed this corpse, it had prepared for this mont. Bei Diao’s body must have been controlled by these symbols, exactly how the symbols would change, he couldn’t be sure.
However, no matter what, dealing with this corpse in front was the main priority. It dared to desecrate Brother Bei Diao’s body, unforgivable!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Su Ran didn’t hold back against the corpse, imdiately firing several fireballs, aiming at Bei Diao’s head.
The corpse’s speed was quite slow, plus Bei Diao wasn’t a lee class to begin with, posing no threat to Su Ran. Under the continuous barrage of fireballs, the corpse’s HP kept dropping, soon losing more than half.
"Die!!!"
The corpse, repeatedly attacked, brewed a furious emotion in its chest, after a roar, it dashed toward Su Ran, with a speed as swift as a nimble leopard!
But even so, it couldn’t beat Wang Cai under Su Ran, who led the corpse in circles on the land. Within less than a minute, the corpse deflated like a popped balloon, speed drastically reduced, reverting to its staggering state.
"Woof woof!"
With an overwhelming advantage, Wang Cai felt bored with winning the sprint. Having such an opponent to compete with for speed was a disgrace, really unlucky!
Su Ran didn’t think that way. The corpse failing to catch up was good news, as fireballs were launched one after another, bombing the corpse, sounding endlessly. Bei Diao’s previous equipnt was all blasted to pieces, imnsely satisfying!
"Why isn’t it dead yet, its HP is too thick!"
Su Ran fought for a long ti, yet the corpse staggered without falling, sparking a fla of anger in his heart. Determined never to rest until he killed this corpse!
Under Su Ran’s continued firepower output, the corpse finally exploded, and those symbols all burst out again.
"Phew, really not easy, luckily my mana held up, or my ntality would’ve collapsed!"
Su Ran couldn’t help but complain, Brother Bei Diao couldn’t rest in peace even after death, causing him so much trouble, the system is really hateful!
"Strange, how did so many disappear?"
Once Bei Diao’s corpse was refreshed by the system, Su Ran walked forward, surprised to find that nearly half of the symbols had disappeared, with strokes like horizontal and hook all gone.
"Could it be..."
To this, Su Ran thought of a possibility, "The extra ones before were the system used to confuse players?"
If that’s the case, it’s too treacherous!
Damn!!!
However.
Another problem arose.
The remaining strokes could form Chinese characters. Just a casual thought gave Su Ran over a dozen options, but he had only one chance. A mistake would an losing his life, this was troubleso.
Right, the mission!
Su Ran pinned his hopes on the mission. With so many symbols gone, the mission prompt should change, right?
If not, better abandon the mission completely. He didn’t think he could rely on luck to guess it right in one go...
Indeed, just as Su Ran expected, the mission had a new change.
"All living things are born together, characters are born from the heart."
"Damn!!!"
Upon seeing this newly appeared mission prompt, Su Ran cursed outright. Could this mission prompt be any more ridiculous?
What’s "all things born together"? He even knew about "all things restrain each other"!
Also, "characters born from the heart", aren’t all characters imagined from one’s heart, isn’t this nonsense?!
Su Ran vented internally, but it was no use. He could only face reality, silently closing the task interface, out of temper.
At this mont, his external phone rang, it was Sister Wan’er calling.
"Sister Wan’er, your call ca just in ti, I’m in urgent need of rescue!"
Su Ran quickly picked up the phone, speaking first.
"What? What happened?"
The elegant young man’s expression changed, "You aren’t failing too, are you? Once the reanimated returns to Ice Hell, you can’t enter this space again, aning you have only one chance, you must cherish it, you absolutely cannot fail!"
"How could I, if I failed would I ask you for help?"
Su Ran detailed everything that had just happened, including the scene of Bei Diao’s reanimation, without hiding anything.
"Are you saying the symbols reduced in number? That’s good news, why the urgent need for help?"
The elegant young man spoke with a tone full of confusion, puzzling over Su Ran’s intentions. She wasn’t surprised about Bei Diao’s reanimation, it was needed for the mission plot, nothing to be shocked about.
"I just want you to help analyze the system prompt. This guy speaks ambiguously, I can’t figure out a thing, really frustrating!"
Su Ran shared the mission prompt, complaining, "This system is really sothing. The mission’s reached this critical point, could it not give a real hint? Must it make burn hundreds of brain cells? It just doesn’t want to complete this mission!"
"Little Brother Su, I feel you’ve changed. The old you wouldn’t focus so much on gains and losses, emotions wouldn’t have been so easily provoked. You really need to reflect."
The elegant young man didn’t answer Su Ran’s question, instead saying sothing off-topic.
Focused on gains and losses?
Su Ran was stunned.
Her words were like a bucket of cold water, poured directly over his head, instantly calming his restless heart.
Reflecting on his performance just now, Su Ran was left speechless.
Truth be told, after playing gas for so long, his temper had indeed changed a lot, emotions swayed by the ga. Because of a mission, he got this upset. If Sister Wan’er hadn’t pointed it out, he wouldn’t have realized this. People indeed change, to the point of unfamiliarity.
"Thank you, Sister Wan’er."
Su Ran didn’t know how to express his gratitude, beyond uttering these two most cliched words.
Her remarks made Su Ran comprehend and realize much, things not learnable from textbooks. This ti, he gained significantly, at the very least shedding so anxiety, feeling much better.
"If you really want to thank , when I visit your new ho, you need to treat properly and not joke around!"
The elegant young man’s charming voice sounded, with a tone perfectly matched, hard to refuse.
"That’s a must. When a distinguished guest arrives, how could I not earnestly welco you? Whatever you’d like to eat, just say, I’ll make sure it’s well arranged!"
Su Ran pledged, though inwardly troubled. Sister Wan’er had ntioned several tis about visiting, shouldn’t be joking. In the current situation, he couldn’t refuse, sweating out to agree, adjusting upon arrival, praying she wouldn’t complain to his mom, he’d be grateful...
"Little Brother Su, am I only your distinguished guest?"
"..."
