Chapter 44 The Lost Ancient Country (11)

"There is no shadow under his feet."

Li Shuntong's words made Guan Ciying stop smiling instantly.

A chill suddenly ran up her back.

But when Guan Ciying looked over again, a shadow appeared under Lin Chaoxu's feet again.

It’s just that the black shadow seems to be constantly changing, as if it has its own life.

Guan Ciying was about to cry. She looked at Li Shuntong and said, "Why? The three of us have always been together. How could he be killed by the vampires?"

Li Shuntong also looked very sad.

Lin Chaoxu had been their teammate a long, long time ago.

But at this time, a calm person is needed to take charge of the situation.

Li Shuntong suddenly took a breath, raised his eyes, and looked closely at "Lin Chaoxu" opposite him, his voice dry: "Maybe, from the beginning, he was not our teammate."

"Lin Chaoxu" then raised his head, and a hideous smile appeared on the mushroom-headed boy's face, which was very different from his usual quiet and introverted self.

It’s as if the past and present have become a torn scroll.

Li Shuntong felt a pang of regret and at the same time grabbed Guan Ciying and avoided the flying bird in the sky that was controlled by "Lin Chaoxu".

"Lin Chaoxu" said: "You are very smart, with sharp observation and judgment, why are you content to be just a small D City player?"

Li Shuntong said coldly: "Are you a dungeon monster who still has a player contempt chain?"

"Monster?" "Lin Chaoxu" seemed to have heard something funny. He shook his head and said, "I'm not a dungeon monster."

Li Shuntong said: "But you are definitely not a player."

"You are indeed very smart." "Lin Chaoxu" exclaimed, "I used to be a player."

Guan Ciying frowned when he heard this: "Before?"

"Yes, I used to be an A-level player." "Lin Chaoxu" said, "But I chose the game. I live forever in the dungeon."

Guan Ciying couldn't help but scold: "Absurd!"

"A human being, associating with monsters, turning swords against his companions." Li Shuntong said, "If this is not a monster, then what is it?"

"Lin Chaoxu" said: "Whatever you want. You can say whatever you want. Instead of holding on to your noble human moral standards, you should worry about how you..."

Guan Ciying said in a low voice: "Do it."

Li Shuntong had already extended his fingertips.

The ice cluster instantly exploded from under Lin Chaoxu's feet. The other party's face changed, and he swallowed his words and jumped aside.

"This is really underestimating you." "Lin Chaoxu" murmured.

Guan Ciying: "Haha, you look down on others. Why don't you take a look at your own situation first!"

"Lin Chaoxu" suddenly turned cold: "What did you do!?"

The little bit of ice splashed on his trouser leg quickly spread out, and in the blink of an eye, it froze the entire lower body of "Lin Chaoxu".

Li Shuntong clapped his hands: "Although role-playing dungeons occasionally freeze player skills."

He smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I am a dual-skill player."

"His second freezing skill has a long cooldown time and is not as useful as his healing skill, so it is generally not used." Guan Ciying looked at "Lin Chaoxu" who only had a pair of eyes left, and covered his mouth pretentiously, "Don't you know the saying 'villains die from talking too much'?"

"Our A-level players are really amazing~"

"Lin Chaoxu" looked at them with resentment, but he was completely unable to move. The ice had spread to his head, freezing him into an ice man.

"What should we do?" Li Shuntong asked, "The unblocking time is 24 hours. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Guan Ciying stroked his chin and said, "Why don't we take this player to see the Holy Son?"

"Will it be helpful to ask an NPC like him to do this kind of thing?" Li Shuntong questioned.

Guan Ciying said: "I suddenly remembered something, let me ask the Holy Son to verify it."

When Gu Qiufeng finished reading the information, a person came to his mind almost instantly.

That Lin Chaoxu with a very low presence!

At times like these, human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm is always the most useful.

If it was that psychic A-level player in disguise, Guan Ciying and Li Shuntong’s chances of winning would be very low.

But when Gu Qiufeng crawled out from underneath, he didn’t see the wooden man guarding him.

He felt uneasy for a moment, then he realized that the sky outside had turned completely dark.

The flickering candlelight made the library look empty and cold.

Gu Qiufeng touched the mask on his face and put on a long-term protective shield for himself.

The bandage on his hand had already loosened slightly, so Gu Qiufeng had to remove it and tie it again.

And just as he lowered his head, a sickle brushed past his cheek.

Gu Qiufeng turned his head slightly.

The door had been opened at some point, and Akana was standing at the door in the same casual clothes he wore during the day.

The moonlight shines on her blue hair, like a flowing spring.

Gu Qiufeng looked carefully and finally saw that Akana was holding a wooden figure in one hand.

He was a little helpless.

The little guy must have noticed Arcana's coming in advance, so he planned to lure away the world boss for him.

But I didn't expect that Arcana didn't eat its "monster-attracting" trait, and was caught red-handed.

The sickle rammed heavily into the brick wall behind Gu Qiufeng.

That's great.

Gu Qiufeng moved silently, blocking the sickle to prevent Arcana from getting the weapon.

But in doing so, he was completely confronted with Arcana.

Gu Qiufeng first used the cards to collect the wooden man.

Arcana looked at the disappeared object in his hand in confusion.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why you want to kill me?" Gu Qiufeng sighed, "It's been two nights. You asked me to work during the day, and then hunted me down at night. Even the black-hearted capitalists are not as black-hearted as you, Your Majesty."

Arcana tilted his head, slightly parted his lips, and uttered two words coldly: "You are a monster."

"Hmm?" Gu Qiufeng asked in confusion.

A copy monster says he is a monster?

Is there such a strange thing?

He said politely, "Could you explain the definition of monster? I don't quite understand why you think I'm a monster."

"Monster..." Arcana repeated, "A companion of a monster."

Gu Qiufeng said helplessly: "Hey, don't ignore what others are saying."

But this actually made him feel relieved in some ways. This Arcana seemed to be mentally unstable and should have nothing to do with the Arcana during the day.

As long as it doesn't affect his mission.

As for the rest…

Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "I understand. You are not Arcana."

"God's Tears, an A-rank player, and once the guardian knight of Arcana."

Gu Qiufeng exclaimed: "It's amazing, it actually merged with the dungeon BOSS."

When he heard the word "God's Tears", the expression on Akana's face suddenly froze.

There was a blankness on her face, a blankness that was both confused and sour.

Arcana repeated again: "God...tears?"

She blinked her right eye slightly, and tears suddenly flowed down for no apparent reason.

The body in front of Gu Qiufeng seemed to be taken over by two souls alternately at this moment.

Soon, the familiar indifferent temperament belonging to Arcana returned.

She looked at Gu Qiufeng deeply, then turned and left.

Gu Qiufeng looked at Akana's slightly embarrassed figure and raised his eyebrows.

He didn't plan to chase him because Gu Qiufeng knew very well that he could not beat Akana who was out of control of his emotions.

At least he was sure that Arcana wouldn't disturb his sleep again.

Gu Qiufeng shook his neck and planned to go back to have a good sleep.

He brought out the stack of observation reports.

It's just right that I don't have to worry anymore and I can continue reading the report.

The record of "Divine Tears" came to an abrupt end. Gu Qiufeng intuitively felt that there might be something hidden in this report that needed to be found.

Don't worry, the main quest seems to be stable now, and the rest are some unimportant side quests.

Gu Qiufeng went all the way back to the bedroom, and sure enough, he could not see Akana anymore.

Perhaps letting her know that her old friend is no longer alive is more cruel than letting her think that her friend has forgotten her.

The nights without Fenghe around are rather boring.

Gu Qiufeng is a person who is very afraid of being bored.

Perhaps because he was used to the boring days in the laboratory when he was young, he is always particularly enthusiastic about dangerous things.

Because the more dangerous it is, the more fun it is, and the more it can stimulate his brain to secrete dopamine molecules that represent happiness.

So now Gu Qiufeng actually had some time to think about random things.

It's really boring.

Well, if he died in the game, Xie Xin’s situation would be similar to Arcana’s, right?

If one day, Xie Xin found out that he had entered the game, what expression would that bad-tempered man have?

Gu Qiufeng was thinking and soon fell asleep in the moonlight and the scent of roses.

The windows haven't been repaired yet, so it's quite cold.

After waking up contentedly, Gu Qiufeng heard a knock on the door.

He said, "What is it?"

"Son," the maid said, "His Majesty has asked you to see her in the drawing room."

"Are you having guests?"

Gu Qiufeng said this and opened the door.

"There are two groups of guests," the maid said. "One is the head of the Starlight Circus, and the other two are carrying a large wooden box. They say they are your friends and are here to see you."

Gu Qiufeng: “.”

Oh no, I was distracted by Akana yesterday and forgot to look for Guan Ciying and Li Shuntong.

He asked, "Are these people in the reception room?"

"No," the maid said, "Her Majesty has placed your friend in the pavilion in the garden. She also said that if you want to see your friend, just go directly. She is here at the circus."

Gu Qiufeng said: "I'll go see my two friends first."

There was no need for him to worry about Arcana.

Rather than this, he decided to go and see how Guan Ciying and Li Shuntong were doing, and ask for information about the A-level player who was pretending to be Lin Chaoxu.

When they arrived at the pavilion, Gu Qiufeng was surprised to find that Guan Ciying and Li Shuntong were not only unharmed, but also seemed to be in good spirits.

Only when he got closer did he hear Guan Ciying talking——

"Do you think that players who surrender in this game will officially die? If not, since he is in our enemy camp, we can send him a bottle of poison every night to see when he will die, okay?"

The author has something to say:

"Lin Chaoxu": Are you polite? :)
