433: Chapter 433 ntal Suppression
Mao Wei stepped out of the shadows and said across the digital grid on the ground, “How did you figure out it was ?”
“From the items you used, the cotton grenade, the toy gun, they’re all children’s playthings, and so is hopscotch,” Xu Huo replied.
“Is that all?” Mao Wei was incredulous.
Chu Yuan was even more astonished, “Are you a ghost?”
“Yes, as it happens I just saw the two of you fighting with Dr.
Deng’s people,” said Mao Wei with a laugh.
“Can’t bla
this ti, killing soone to regain a human identity, I guess you’ll just have to be inconvenienced.”
Having said this, he approached them.
Chu Yuan kept trying to lift his feet on the spot, but apart from the consecutive next square, he couldn’t enter any other square; his feet were completely stuck to the ground.
In the darkness, Xu Huo took out the “Star-binding Sphere” given to him by Mada Butterfly and said to the approaching Mao Wei, “Actually, you don’t know whether you’re a ghost or not.”
“The reason you appeared here is because you set your sights on
and Chu Yuan, regardless of whether you’re a ghost, you planned to kill us,” Xu Huo said.
“If my guess is correct, it started from the train, didn’t it?”
Mao Wei stopped in his tracks, “That’s correct.
But you probably won’t be able to use that to buy ti.”
In the midst of speaking, he straightened a white silk thread between his hands and, with a flick of his right hand, sent one end flying towards Xu Huo, piercing his eyeball and drilling into his brain.
Mao Wei chuckled, “This kite string of mine has even let go of whales.”
Shivering from his pierced eyeball, Xu Huo suddenly glanced sideways at him, “Whales?
Are they made of paper?”
Mao Wei paused, swiftly backing away, when he heard soone speak behind him, “Do you still have anything in your hand?”
It was Xu Huo’s voice; Mao Wei could tell.
However, Xu Huo should have been maintaining his sidelong glance and standing in front of him… The kite string in his hand disappeared without a trace, and Xu Huo, who was fixed in the grid, suddenly stepped out and moved closer to him.
Mao Wei opened and closed his hands repeatedly, but after several seconds, his palms remained empty.
Realizing sothing was wrong, he turned to run, but only to crash into an invisible wall behind him.
Looking down, he saw the numbers in the grid he had set up coiling around his feet and legs, then crawling up his waist, while Xu Huo kept approaching, reaching for his face.
“Get lost!” In Mao Wei’s vision, Xu Huo, who was always looking sidelong, didn’t seem to be focusing on him.
Yet, Xu Huo stood rigidly before him, first touching his face mask then jabbing into his right eye!
“Ah ah ah!” Mao Wei scread in agony, frantically throwing punches to knock down Xu Huo in front of him.
The Xu Huo who looked sideways fell to the ground light as a piece of paper.
Then the eyeball in his hand rolled back to its socket position, squeezed itself in, and slowly grew a kite string from the pupil.
The string animated the paper figure to stand, and the face gradually morphed into Mao Wei’s likeness—maskless, hideous, grinning with big yellow teeth, shalessly smiling.
Mao Wei’s forehead veins bulged with rage as he pounced to tear the paper figure apart.
But the next second, a short line of blood appeared over the spot where his heart was on his back, followed by a spray of blood.
He could only convulse on the ground.
“What’s wrong with him?” Chu Yuan looked on in shock at the man gasping for air at Xu Huo’s feet.
“He inexplicably threw a series of punches on the spot and then threw himself in front of you to be killed?”
“He might have had ntal issues to begin with,” guessed Xu Huo, shaking the blood from the Crimson Sword.
The Star-binding Sphere worked better than he had anticipated.
After Mada Butterfly had beaten him up a few tis, he applied ntal suppression on Mao Wei with ease.
However, he got tricked once more; Mada Butterfly didn’t tell him that after using the Star-binding Sphere, the user could only stand perfectly still.
This item’s description didn’t ntion it either.
“Do I look like an idiot?” Chu Yuan patted his own face.
“Quite,” Xu Huo said earnestly, then added another sentence, “Otherwise, we wouldn’t be standing here.”
Chu Yuan shuddered, looking at him in shock, “After we’ve been through life and death together, I already consider you a brother!”
“Thanks,” Xu Huo said.
After receiving Mao Wei’s item and discovering that the hopscotch wasn’t his special ability but an item, he took it out.
This item was shaped like a map and could release nuric squares according to a certain size.
It couldn’t trap players at any ti and place; it had to be set up successfully only when there was no one within the squares’ spread range, and the “counting ga” would only be triggered when soone stepped into it.
And the reason Mao Wei could set up the squares on the paths they might take didn’t look like he just witnessed the fight in the hallway.
Instead, it was through a handkerchief-shaped positioning item—his gun-cleaning handkerchief, and the trigger was asking others if they needed help.
As long as the person asked responded, no matter in what form, they would be located.
These two items were quite interesting.
“Mao Wei and his group ca specifically to kill us, but it turned out they gave away a free kill,” Chu Yuan said, kicking the corpse aside, then added, “Ge Pan and his group should thank us.
Otherwise, they might have been the ones targeted, since they ca up together earlier.”
“Thanking you is not certain, but wanting to kill you might be true,” Xu Huo said indifferently, “Mao Wei, Ge Pan, and Zhu Rumin definitely know each other.”
Chu Yuan opened his mouth wide, “Why?
Where did you see that from!”
“When players were searching the first underground floor during the day, Zhu Rumin hadn’t gone down to the third floor yet.
At that ti, Mao Wei and Ge Pan voluntarily suggested staying in the corridor rather than searching rooms one by one.
Both of them just stood in the hallway; unless blind, they would have seen Zhu Rumin.”
“How do you know Zhu Rumin went to the third floor underground at that ti?” Chu Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
Without going into detail, Xu Huo glanced at him.
The two flying surveillance devices he had released hadn’t captured any people, but they did capture footprints in front of the elevator, and there were fresh won’s footprints on the third floor’s white dust-covered ground, exactly during the ti they searched the first underground floor.
Chu Yuan hadn’t waited for his explanation, but subconsciously believed his words, “Out of the twelve people, three are in cahoots, and they might have even tead up with others.
Is this really like doing an instance?
How many real players are there?”
Without saying much, Xu Huo and Chu Yuan avoided any high-level players that might appear and wandered around the elevator area, soon running into Gan Qing.
As soon as Gan Qing saw the alcohol barrel in Xu Huo’s hand, he angrily said, “So the explosion just now was your doing!
What good does blowing this place up do for you?
Planning to take the other players down with you?!”
Xu Huo and Chu Yuan remained silent, instead staring behind him.
Noticing their odd gaze, Gan Qing turned around and caught a glimpse of a disheveled Ghost Shadow standing behind the glass window of a room, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.
“Ghost Shadow appeared!” Gan Qing’s voice was high-pitched as he imdiately rushed to open the door, coincidentally running into Wan Yunrong who was about to co out, wearing a look of disdain, “There’s no need to be so excited about entering the female staff dormitory.”
