783: Chapter 783 Uncle Doesn’t Kill Children
Xu Huo left with Jiang Jiang from the side of the n in black trench coats when the chair he had kicked over and a few others nearby skidded along the ground, speeding towards them.
In a second, they reached behind the tal players’ knees, causing the unwitting recipients to sit down and slide towards the center of the banquet hall!
Only three people were caught by the chairs.
The man in the black trench coat and the player using the black threads managed to evade, and the two of them launched an attack on Xu Huo just as they got rid of the chairs.
The barrier made of concentrated air blocked their first attack.
Xu Huo quickly escaped, for as he was reclaiming Jiang Jiang, the players outside with silver masks and others in the banquet hall sprung into action.
Without any need for his concern, they took over the battle.
Cutting through the black threads lunging at his feet, Xu Huo then turned back to look at the other three players, who, in the instant they were forced onto the chairs, tried to stand up.
The consequence for violating the host-guest etiquette was a half-minute “seat lock.” Even though they could still use props and abilities during “seat lock,” with their backsides glued to the chairs, it was hardly convenient to move around—and they did not have the ti to dismantle the chairs either, because other players had arrived.
All three were in a sorry state as they were thrown against the wall by the force of the props.
The tal player, having landed, looked at Xu Huo not far away and gritted his teeth, “Free Blade!”
The tal wall right next to him tore like silk, transforming into blades flying semi-encircling towards Xu Huo.
“Ah!” Jiang Jiang, who was sheltered in Xu Huo’s arms, let out an exclamation, only for two players to imdiately co from both sides, shielding most of the tal blades.
Xu Huo casually blocked two pieces with concentrated air and looked up to find that the two players had already taken the tal player away from them.
The fight had just begun when players made a hole in the tal wall; everyone inside the banquet hall was squeezing through it.
Xu Huo approached the window, estimated the position roughly, and used the “Crimson Sword” to cut through, removing the entire tal plate and the window.
Grabbing onto a piano wire, he leaped out and descended about fifty ters before randomly choosing a room to jump into.
As the sounds of fighting faded, Xu Huo just set Jiang Jiang down when she collapsed to her knees, her legs weak.
He scooped her back up, “Are you alright?”
Jiang Jiang’s throat showed bruises, and she spoke with so difficulty: “I’m…
I’m okay…
And you?”
“I’m not injured.” Xu Huo directed her to sit on the sofa’s edge, “Have you ever taken any healing potions before?”
Jiang Jiang nodded.
Xu Huo handed her a bottle.
“Drink this; it should make your throat feel better.”
Jiang Jiang didn’t doubt Xu Huo’s intentions and drank it down imdiately.
After a mont of relief, she said, “Thank you for saving .”
“It was nothing.” Xu Huo listened to the noises outside, “Do you often run into this sort of thing?”
Jiang Jiang remained calm, “Ever since my paintings beca famous, many people have co looking for
with various intentions.
Kidnappings are routine for .
Just these past few days, my agent died.
The news said he was accidentally caught up in a skirmish, but that’s not true.
They struck thinking I was in the car too.”
“That’s unfortunate.” Xu Huo replied expressionlessly.
Jiang Jiang looked up at him, but as she did, she aggravated her neck injury and winced, hissing in pain.
“I have so ointnt for external injuries here; do you want it?” Xu Huo asked.
Jiang Jiang took the ointnt from his hand without going to the washroom, instead, she used her phone’s cara to apply it herself.
During this ti, the players who had been protecting her retreated from the battlefield above.
They rushed to say, “Jiang Jiang, we need to leave this place quickly.
The enemy has explosive props and might blow up the building!”
Jiang Jiang imdiately beca anxious, “Then let’s hurry and go…
You should co with us too!”
The last sentence was directed at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo yielded and retreated with the others.
Jiang Jiang ca from a wealthy family and, because of her special status, she owned her own model of flying vehicle.
It could carry quite a few people, and the group made their way to the mid-level viewing platform of the hotel.
After two bodyguards escorted her up, the vehicle couldn’t fit a fifth person.
Xu Huo stayed on the viewing platform, “You all go first, I’ll head down later.”
Jiang Jiang hesitated and said with guilt, “Won’t it be too dangerous for you to stay here alone?”
“He’s a player.” The person operating the flying vehicle said.
Just then, an explosion occurred at the top of the building, and there was no ti for delay.
Two players forcefully pulled Jiang Jiang inside and shut the door.
Her voice ca from inside, “Co find
in the Galaxy District, I live there, the Galaxy District is very safe…”
Before she could finish, her voice was lost.
Xu Huo stood at the edge of the viewing platform and waved at the flying vehicle in the distance, then he headed down the stairs.
By that ti, many people had already fled past the mid-levels from above.
In the stairwell, discarded coats and shoes could be seen; the occasional shouts from below were almost drowned out by the explosions and the sounds of parts of the building peeling away and crumbling.
“Mommy…” A child’s crying voice echoed behind the stairwell door.
Xu Huo pushed the door open and went inside to find a little boy sitting behind it, his right leg bent unnaturally with a large shoe print on his pants.
Seeing Xu Huo, the boy let go of the door fra and shrank back, looking at him with fear and not even daring to cry out loud.
“Don’t be afraid.” Xu Huo squatted down to check his leg, “It’s a minor thing, it’ll heal after so ti.”
With tears in his eyes, the boy asked, “Aren’t you going to kill ?”
Xu Huo smiled, “Why would I kill you?
You’re so cute.”
The boy grew more frightened at those words, “Players eat people, and they like cute kids even more…”
Xu Huo’s gaze grew stern, and then he said, “Do you like candy?
Uncle will bind your leg and take you down to find your mom, okay?”
This wasn’t a question of liking or not.
The boy could only stuff the lollipop into his mouth.
Probably having never tasted this magical flavor before, he pursed his lips and then took it out to look at it.
Xu Huo straightened the boy’s leg, wrapped it with gauze and wooden splints he found, and then picked him up.
The boy clung to his shoulder.
After walking for a while, he whispered, “Uncle, can you wait until I’m asleep before you kill ?
I’m afraid it will hurt.”
“Uncle doesn’t kill children…” Xu Huo hadn’t finished his sentence when a small figure about a ter tall ca running toward him, shouting “Help!” — “Uncle, save…”
The remaining words were still in his throat when Xu Huo had already kicked him out, sending him flying through the stairwell door and into the corridor.
After landing, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a “wah.”
“Uncle…” the boy said with a sob.
Xu Huo massaged his temples and said to the person pretending to be dead on the ground, “Are you going to get up yourself, or should I co over and help you?”
The person who was barely breathing a second ago sprang up and started to run.
Using a kite string, Xu Huo pulled the person back in front of the little boy, “He is not a child; he’s just short.”
