Chapter 155 Monsters Appeared Out of Nowhere
January 21, 12 noon.
Yu Mingdao put out the cigarette in his hand and glanced at his phone.
A blog post appeared on the screen: [According to the revelations of members of the law enforcement team, the former chess player "Anson Deer" will participate in this battle to recapture Seoul, and he will lead the union "Hell Lighthouse" to join forces with the law enforcement team to retake the capital of South Korea.]
Anti-social organization?
A conspiracy by the creator of the evolution game?
A group of selfish lone wolf players who completely disregard the fate of humanity?
On the one hand, there are many criticisms of the union behind Anson Deer on the Internet; on the other hand, most netizens are looking forward to the day when the Hell Lighthouse will appear in the public eye.
Regardless of the public opinion on the Internet, only Yu Mingdao himself knew that the Hell Lighthouse was full of children who were not much older than Anson Lu. It would be a crime to demand too much from them.
"That kid is going to be on TV again." He smiled and looked up at the clock.
I heard that the battle to retake Seoul will begin at 12 noon on January 21st.
In addition, major video platforms will broadcast this battle live on the Internet, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Korean people.
Three days ago, Seoul was declared to have fallen. A player used a travel voucher to enter Seoul without permission, took pictures of the current appearance of the South Korean capital, and spread them on the Internet.
From then on, the public opinion environment in South Korea completely exploded.
Every city is in a depressing and radical atmosphere. People are in panic and unable to sleep or eat. No one knows whether the next city to fall will be their own.
If an explanation is not given to the Korean people as soon as possible, negative public opinion will only ferment more and more seriously. When it reaches the point of riots, the authorities can only suppress it by force, which is an outcome that no one wants to see.
"Exactly twelve o'clock."
Yu Mingdao picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
He turned to the news station and boiled a kettle of water.
"Today's breaking news: According to confirmed rumors on the Internet, the union founded by the world's number one player, Anson Deer, the Hell Lighthouse, may make its first public appearance. They will join forces with the law enforcement team to retake the capital of South Korea."
The formally dressed news anchor said in a full and powerful voice.
Prior to this, many citizens were uneasy about the existence of the guild 'Beacon of Hell', for a simple reason: this was a guild created by the world's number one player, yet it had never been publicly revealed.
Secondly, the name of this union is really strange. In addition, the founder of the union, "Anson Lu", did not participate in the law enforcement team and the national team. He is not considered an official staff member and is still an individual.
With such a series of facts piled up, it is difficult for the public not to have some negative associations in today's social environment.
Many netizens even put forward ridiculous conjectures such as "Hell Lighthouse is the developer who created the evolution game!" and the online discussion was heated. If Hell Lighthouse does not show up to express its attitude, it will only further deepen the public's panic.
“After today’s incident, there will be fewer people gossiping online.” Yu Mingdao raised the corner of his mouth. He poured hot water into the cup and added two spoonfuls of coffee powder and one spoonful of condensed milk.
The rich aroma of coffee and the sweetness of condensed milk gradually blend in the boiling water.
He picked up a popular science book on childcare and played Bach's "Aria on the G String" in the room. He just turned a page and turned to look at the boy in the cradle.
Only during holidays could he take his children out of the orphanage.
When the dungeon time comes, he will entrust his children to the local orphanage - you know, the children at that time were teleported to a different space and could not be left alone, so they had to be entrusted to the care of the people in the orphanage.
In the past, a few players who had the conditions would secretly take their families to some capital-level cities as long as they could get two travel coupons, because these cities were not easy to fall.
Similarly, Yu Mingdao also wanted to send this child to the Beijing area of China.
But he didn't have that ability, so he could only be thankful that he could still stay with his child and not be separated from him.
He prayed in his heart that Ancheng would not fall - otherwise, his children would be buried in the alien space together with the residents of Ancheng.
Recalling the earth-shattering boss battle on the sky island in the fourth round of the dungeon, if Anson Deer hadn't been there, he might have been a corpse.
Not to mention, if Anson Lu hadn't given him the travel coupon, he wouldn't be able to return to Ancheng. He might not even see his child again until he died in a copy.
For Yu Mingdao, apart from the child lying in the cradle, no one's position in his heart could be higher than Anson Lu.
If other people admire Anson Deer, it is because he is the best in the world and is quite mysterious.
Yu Mingdao's love for Anson Lu is based on a full understanding of him - to him, Anson Lu, while being the best in the world, is also just a pitiful, kind and warm child.
"I heard that the monsters in Seoul are difficult to deal with, but if it's that kid, it should be no problem." Yu Mingdao murmured.
Although the boss in the fallen city will be much stronger than that in the dungeon, Anson Deer's strength is there. There is no need to think about the outcome of the battle to recapture Seoul. It will definitely end in victory.
However, it is hard to say whether there will be any sacrifice. If the strength of the Whip Drummer is stronger than that of the Ten Thousand Knights, it is not surprising that he can kill the players in the sequence instantly.
The news platform did not broadcast the "Seoul Recapture War" live, but the broadcast from Twitter could be seen on major platforms. The law enforcement team had a Russian female player with the sequence "Abyss Dancer".
Her name is Avril. Before the advent of the evolution game, she was already a very popular Twitter blogger, mainly because of her appearance as beautiful as a doll and her body that is sexy and indescribable.
Not to mention, she is now a member of the law enforcement team and one of the top experts in the world rankings.
With all these conditions, she naturally attracted the attention of countless players and became an Internet celebrity comparable to a superstar.
At this time, almost every video platform in the country was broadcasting Avril's Twitter live broadcast.
This is a great opportunity to earn traffic. No platform will miss this opportunity. The profits brought by this live broadcast will be unimaginable. Almost all the surviving citizens in the world are paying attention to this battle to retake the capital.
Yu Mingdao took a sip of coffee to refresh himself and turned two pages of a book with his fingers.
I can't calm down at all.
"Forget it, let's just take a look."
He sighed, closed the book and picked up his phone.
Open the live broadcast software, and the homepage is the official live broadcast room of the 'Evolution Foundation', which is in a very conspicuous position. The title is - "Battle to Recapture Seoul, the Guild of Former Chess Players May Appear in This Battle".
Yu Mingdao looked at the cover of the live broadcast room. It was a photo of Lorenzo and Anson Lu - one on the left and one on the right, and the other seemed to be photoshopped by the person responsible for reposting this live broadcast.
"Are these two people really familiar with each other?" He couldn't help but smile.
Yu Mingdao still remembers meeting Lorenzo in the second round of the copy.
He could see that Anson Lu and Lorenzo were two completely different people - Anson Lu would not care about the outside world's eyes just because he was the best in the world, and he had not even joined any official organization; Lorenzo stood at the top of the world and voluntarily represented the official. While holding power, he also had to care about the outside world's eyes. After all, his identity and reputation were already tied to the official.
Entering the live broadcast room, thousands of barrages filled the screen.
[Bullet comment A: Will Anson Lu really appear? This is not a clickbait title. It’s been so long and we’ve only seen members of the law enforcement team?! ]
[Bullet comment B: I'm tired of watching the law enforcement team. I've watched those replays ten thousand times. So will the players from Hell Lighthouse really come? ]
【Danmu C: Rather than who will come, shouldn’t you be more concerned about the capital of South Korea? Please, how many people have died? 】
【Damage comment: That's South Korea, what does it have to do with us? Can you guys stop pretending? 】
[Barrage F: Wasn't it said online before that there was a grudge between the Hell Lighthouse and the Law Enforcement Team, so Anson Deer didn't join the Law Enforcement Team? Now it turns out that the two unions are cooperating. This is ridiculous, okay? ]
[Bullet screen G: I was fooled by the title. If Anson Lu didn't come, could you report this official live broadcast room? ]
[Bullet screen H: Damn, this Boss is something! ]
At a glance, all the comments were discussing Anson Lu. The title of "Old Chess Player" was almost overshadowing the existence of the law enforcement team, whether in Asia or Europe.
Not to mention in China. As a Chinese, anyone would be happy to hear that the world's number one is a fellow countryman.
Although Anson Lu has never appeared in official occasions or on various player variety shows, the extent to which China's official marketing of Anson Lu is even higher than that of the national team.
There were so many barrages that Yu Mingdao could hardly see the content of the live broadcast. He frowned, found the option to block the barrages, and clicked to turn it on.
After blocking the barrage, the whole world suddenly became a lot quieter.
"What? What is that?"
Just then, Avril's surprised voice was heard.
She raised her beautiful eyebrows, raised her mobile phone suddenly, and pointed the camera towards the sky of Seoul - a huge ship shadow suddenly appeared, bombarding the body of the explosive drummer with violent firepower.
Yu Mingdao was stunned for a moment. He had a general understanding of the sequence players of the law enforcement team before. Among the players of the law enforcement team, no one had the skills that could cause the scene before his eyes.
Who could that be? Someone from Hell's Lighthouse?
Yu Mingdao suddenly felt a little excited, as if he saw his favorite team appear on TV. He opened the barrage again and displayed the barrage list on the right so that it would not block the live broadcast screen.
The number of barrages increased dramatically, one after another coming like a continuous tide, to the point where Yu Mingdao couldn't even read the content of the barrages before they were swiped away.
He adjusted the settings and deliberately slowed down the barrage speed, but none of the barrages had a definite answer.
No one knows who created this skill.
The expressiveness of the skill is so exaggerated, but even those who have done in-depth research on sequence players cannot tell which sequence this skill belongs to.
However, almost 90 percent of the speculation in the barrage pointed to a person who had not yet appeared on the live broadcast screen.
"Is that you, Anson Lu?" Yu Mingdao adjusted his glasses.
Avril held up her phone and asked the Chinese youth in a black sweater next to her, "Hey, Gu Qiu, whose skill is this? Is there anyone else in the law enforcement team who can do this?"
"Who else could it be?" Gu Qiu asked coldly, "It's either Yuliu Mena's skills or Anson Lu's skills. Only these two people can do something so extraordinary."
According to the analysis of the Evolution Foundation, both the Devouring Arm and the Old Chess Player have great development potential, and their capabilities are not limited to a certain aspect.
If it is these two sequences, it is entirely possible to do things that are beyond the scope of understanding. Even if Anson Deer summons the Virgin Mary or the ancient Greek gods one day, it would not be strange.
But if it is a sequence called "The Matrix", suddenly summoning a pirate ship to bombard the enemy is a bit fanciful and completely inconsistent with basic logic.
"People from Hell Lighthouse?" Avril realized belatedly.
"Yes, they are coming."
Gu Qiu raised his dark eyes and looked towards the other end of the sky, where he could see a red dragon swooping over with its wings flapping, and a floating sled pulled by two elks.
"It's him!" Yu Mingdao rubbed his chin unconsciously and murmured excitedly: "I told you, there's no way this guy wouldn't come. He's not that cold-blooded."
Originally, he was worried that Anson Deer was too casual and too rebellious, and thus missed the opportunity to make the Hell Lighthouse publicly available.
After all, because of the fall of the South Korean capital, the mental state of the world's people has declined sharply, and the fear of death hangs over every city.
In such a world, the prestige of the law enforcement team alone cannot give them enough confidence to face challenges.
But if you think about it the other way around, it is precisely such a desperate, purgatory-like public opinion environment that can actually become a perfect stage - a stage specially built for the Lighthouse of Hell!
After all, with Anson Lu's fame as a foundation, every citizen is guessing and looking forward to what kind of strength the world's number one union has.
The Hell Lighthouses appeared in the most stunning manner at this lowest moment in human history. The encouragement and courage they brought to people are definitely beyond words.
This group of outstanding eccentrics will become an existence worthy of being recorded in history.
On par with the law enforcement team, or even better than it.
Before this, people's doubts and misunderstandings about them could be completely wiped out in a short time after the battle to retake Seoul was over.
"As expected of you."
Yu Mingdao took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He had watched with his own eyes as this young man started from scratch and slowly made his way to this point.
There are no words to describe the mixed feelings in his heart.
Was it inferiority? Jealousy? Envy? Or admiration? He didn't know. Although he was too insignificant as a mortal in front of Anson Deer, he was willing to dedicate his life to this person from the bottom of his heart.
Because, only Anson Lu would look up to him as an ordinary player, instead of treating him coldly like other sequence players, as if he was worthless like garbage.
"Alien Kangaroo, spit out Captain Dragon Sailor." Anson Deer stood on the sled and said coldly: "At the same time, Future Bluebird, come to me."
After that, the red dragon flapped its majestic giant wings and soared five meters above the Exploding Drummer. A flock of crows flew by, and a Japanese man in a black windbreaker appeared on the back of the red dragon, holding nearly twenty dice in his hand.
He casually loosened his hands, and the gray-black dice fell down and landed precisely above the Whiplash Drummer.
Not only that, a giant whale formed by raging water and a meteorite formed by thousands of feet of ice also smashed down from the sky at the same time, attacking the Exploding Drummer with the most violent attitude.
"Bang!!!"
Twenty dice exploded at the same time, turning into a sea of gray fire, madly burning every inch of the Exploding Drummer's skin.
What followed was a roaring giant whale, which heated up dramatically within two seconds, causing a devastating steam explosion.
Finally, the huge icy meteorite slowly fell from the sky.
At this moment, the barrage of comments completely exploded, with thousands of them sent out from the hands of Chinese netizens, almost drowning out all of Yu Mingdao's vision.
He quickly blocked the barrage and looked at the live broadcast.
However, before the meteorite fell on the explosive drummer's head, suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from the cradle, like a sharp knife, cutting off Yu Mingdao's shocked thoughts in the middle.
"Why"
Yu Mingdao slapped his forehead and sighed. He quickly put down his phone, walked hurriedly to the cradle, picked up the baby in the cradle, and patiently coaxed him to sleep according to the method taught in the book.
His face was pale and his mood was very complicated.
The feeling is like when a group of relatives and neighbors gather together to watch the penalty shootout in the World Cup final, and then the TV antenna suddenly disconnects, and the screen goes completely black and nothing can be seen.
Yu Mingdao coaxed the child to sleep before sitting back on the sofa with peace of mind.
He picked up his phone and saw that the live screen was pitch black, with only one line of text displayed: [The host has ended the broadcast. Please don’t forget to follow her. You will receive a reminder the next time she starts broadcasting! ]
Other than that, the only thing left in the live broadcast room was barrage of comments pouring out like a waterfall.
The audience on the Internet were still discussing the battle that had just happened, and the comments were endless with no signs of stopping.
[Bullet screen A: Holy crap, holy crap, is this the monster from the Hell Lighthouse? It only took 20 seconds to defeat that boss!]
[Bullet screen B: Did you see the expressions of the members of the law enforcement team? They didn’t even have a chance to attack!!!]
【Comment C: Oh my god, the most important thing is the damage of the old chess player's new chess piece. Did you see it? This is too exaggerated. Is this something a human can do? ! 】
【Danmu D: We are all players, why are they so perverted? 】
[Barrage F: This is our world number one! The union he leads must be strong too. There must be a reason why he didn't show up in public before! ]
"Is it over?" Yu Mingdao felt a little disappointed, but fortunately he could still watch the live broadcast replay.
However, he felt a little surprised deep down.
He had known people like Yuri and Urushihara Ritsu from the very beginning, and he also knew that they were Anson Lu's companions.
When the public questioned why Anson Lu did not join the law enforcement team and why he was hiding these sequence players, he kept silent, but in his heart he had an urge to explain for Anson Lu.
Only today did they officially appear in the eyes of the whole world, standing beside Anson Deer.
The old chess player is no longer alone, no longer a lone hero in people's eyes. For the first time, he and his companions stepped into the public eye and proved to the whole world how powerful the group of monsters he led were.
In twenty seconds, the capital-level Boss - Whiplash was killed instantly.
Such an outcome was enough to prove how perverted the union led by Anson Lu was; judging from the public response it brought about, it was almost perfect, and everyone was stunned by the performance of this group of monsters.
After watching the live broadcast replay, Yu Mingdao fell into deep silence.
After a long time, he opened Weibo.
As expected, the shocking scene just now has turned into tens of millions of blog posts, occupying the homepage of Weibo.
"You guys know how powerful this guy is."
Yu Mingdao lit a cigarette, took a deep puff of satisfaction, and turned to look at the sleeping child.
"Xiao Ao, I can't leave that kid behind too much."
