Chapter 187: Surprise Attack, Collapse, Overwhelming Destruction (asking for monthly ticket)

One minute ago, in the movie world.

The long black and white street was empty, with Gothic-style spires stretching endlessly. A huge clock tower stood in the center of the city, and the pendulum kept swinging.

Not long after, a total of seven movie screens suddenly appeared on the long and quiet street, like a silent movie.

One by one, figures emerged from the curtain. They were: Xia Pingzhou, the stone statue of the queen, the unconscious red street light, and the four members of the ghost train group.

They merged into this black and white world and gradually lost their original colors.

Xia Pingzhou was slightly stunned and looked down at his faded body. This was his first time entering Ke Qirui's movie space, so he was naturally surprised.

I looked up and around, the whole world was in black and white, I couldn't hear the sound of the wind, nor could I hear the voices of people. It was so depressing that it made me breathless.

Ke Qirui put the pipe back into his windbreaker pocket, endured the silence and then spoke to break it.

She said: "We should be safe here for the time being. Let's stay in the movie world for a while and see what's going on before leaving."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the silent Xia Pingzhou: "Xia Pingzhou, do you know those children?"

Xia Pingzhou met her eyes and thought that no matter how powerful the hacker was, he would not be able to hack into the electronic equipment in the movie world, so there was no need to worry about him eavesdropping.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and replied:

"No...but I intuitively feel that they are very strong and we are no match for them."

The stone statue of the queen raised her eye sockets that were burning with cold flames, and looked around at the pantomime world like a noble swan.

Su Zimai turned his head and looked at Xia Pingzhou as if looking for trouble: "We haven't even fought, why do you think so?"

Xia Pingzhou was too lazy to respond, or even to look at her.

"After all, do we really need to run?" Xu Sanyan said, holding up a cigarette. "Although we don't know the other party's background and strength, they are just a few kids."

Smoke swirled around his fingertips, and even the flame from the lighter was black.

Lin Zheng folded his arms and said calmly, "Don't doubt the leader's decision."

Su Zimai also frowned, looking puzzled. But when she thought of Hei Pu's warning that there would be uninvited guests during this operation, she felt relieved.

She lowered her eyes to look at the Red Street Light on the ground: "Although we have caught Red Street Light, we must bring him back to the association, otherwise he will die from excessive blood loss in a short time."

"I can heal him."

As he spoke, Xia Pingzhou stretched out his hand to touch the black and white circle and grabbed the chess shadow of the bishop's stone statue.

If Hong Lu Deng died, he would naturally not be able to get Hei Pupa to extract information about the Salvation Society from Hong Lu Deng. Because of this, the goal of this operation was to capture Hong Lu Deng alive, not to kill him.

The mentor of the Salvation Society once said: If possible, it doesn't matter even if we kill the red traffic light.

This means... there must be a secret hidden in the red street light that the Salvation Society wants to bury.

With a "click" sound, the chess piece shadow shattered.

Immediately afterwards, a stone statue of a bishop in a white robe and holding a thick religious scripture in his hand appeared beside Xia Pingzhou.

The stone statue of the bishop lowered his eyes, flipping through the scriptures in his hands with a solemn expression, and muttering verses from the Bible.

A holy light fell from the pages of the book, gradually dispersing and covering the wound on Red Street Light's back. His injuries were healing visibly, with broken bones connecting and open flesh closing.

Su Zimai hugged his shoulders, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "If you cure him, he won't suddenly get up and smash our heads with a lamp pole?"

Xia Pingzhou said slowly: "I can only heal some of the wounds that are fatal, and I used the magician demon to put him into a coma, so he will definitely not wake up for a while."

"You made a contract with the magician devil?"

"If you say so, then so be it..." Xia Pingzhou said. He didn't really want to tell Su Zimai that he could collect disposable demon chess seeds by killing demons, fearing that it would hurt her self-esteem.

Ke Qirui was silent for a while: "At first I thought Mr. Black Pupa was just joking with us, but I didn't expect that in this operation, I would really encounter a character with a mythical anecdote."

"Mythical anecdote?"

The other three members of the train group looked up and asked suspiciously.

Ke Qirui nodded and said casually:

"That's right. The thing the little girl was sitting on just now should be the 'Somersault Cloud', and the stick she summoned in her hand was the 'Golden Cudgel'. This is probably the power of the mythical 'Monkey King'."

She paused and said, "It seems that the other four children who are hanging out with her probably have extraordinary abilities as well."

The other three members of the Ghost Train Group were slightly startled.

Ke Qirui took them away too quickly, and they didn't have time to see the details clearly. They only saw the five children.

So, it is very likely that they escaped unintentionally?

Ke Qirui lowered the brim of his hat and pondered quietly on the long black and white street.

Last night when we were on the train, Hei Pupa told everyone:

“Ms. Ke, if you really encounter people from that ‘mysterious organization’ during this operation, don’t even think about confronting them. Instead, try your best to escape as soon as possible.

“Before the operation begins, both parties can use mobile phones to communicate, but during the operation, do not carry any electronic devices, and... no matter what, you must not reveal my presence to anyone.

"More importantly: After the operation is over, no matter how much you trust someone, you must not tell them what you saw. Otherwise, you will definitely get into huge trouble."

Thinking back to this, and associating it with what he had just seen in the underground bar, Ke Qirui couldn't help but gasp.

Somersault cloud?

Fragments of mythical anecdotes?

According to a friend of mine who is a gossip enthusiast, that is something that even a disaster-level psychic cannot compare to. Why would it appear in a place like this?

What is the connection between the red street light and this mysterious organization?

For a moment, Ke Qirui's mind was full of thoughts, and he felt like he was in a cloud of mist. The image of the black pupa seemed to become even more mysterious.

Since this organization is so powerful and secretive, why does Hei Pupa know the inside story of this organization... Did he join our action to fight against this organization?

"Who is this guy...?"

She was thinking when Xia Pingzhou suddenly spoke in a hurried tone that they had never heard before:

"Ke Qirui, hurry up, use the movie demon to take everyone away from here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present's heart skipped a beat, and then they looked at him in surprise.

"What's the reason?" Ke Qirui turned his head and looked at him.

She thought to herself: Now that those kids are still guarding outside, the most she can do is move the people in the train group to a nearby location. But if she does this, they will still be caught up by the Somersault Cloud. What's the point?

"Stop asking, hurry up!" Xia Pingzhou almost growled. The stone statue of the queen beside him had a bright fire burning in its eyes. Even Su Zimai was frightened.

But at this moment, a black prompt box suddenly appeared under the black moon.

"Is it still too slow..." Xia Pingzhou looked at the black game prompt box, his face darkening.

From the moment Mario said he could track down this other world to the moment the game scene was loaded, he only had two seconds to react. In these two seconds, it would be a fantasy to expect Ke Qirui to take everyone away.

At this moment, this huge game prompt box attracted the attention of everyone present.

They looked up at the same time and saw the message box saying:

【The game is loading……（The game is loading……）】

This short line of English gave them a great sense of weirdness and shock, just like seeing a clown with a hideous grin on his face and a balloon in his hand in a children's playground.

"He's finally here..." Xia Pingzhou thought. He couldn't stop Mario from tracking him here.

"Captain, what is this?"

Su Zimai was stunned, and the line of English was reflected in his bright pupils.

Ke Qirui remained silent, raised his eyes from under the brim of his hat, and stared at the prompt box motionlessly.

"Just in case, should we leave?" Thinking of this, she raised her hand to straighten the one-way mirror, wanting to use the power of the movie demon to take away the people present as soon as possible.

But she couldn't do it.

The movie screen did not appear. Instead, a cold prompt box suddenly popped up.

[Tip: During the 60-second "Administrator Maintenance Time", you cannot force log out of the game. ]

"Sixty seconds?" Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows. "Is that the Sky Drive ability of those children?"

At this moment, the black and white world of pantomime suddenly appeared in color.

The buildings on all sides were like the anti-counterfeiting layer on a lottery ticket, which was scratched away by fingernails, gradually revealing the real side inside.

"What's going on?" Lin Zhengquan frowned.

They raised their heads high and looked around.

I saw a primitive jungle suddenly rising from the concrete ground. Trees as big as giants and bushes that were big enough to cover the tall buildings grew wildly upwards, covering the Gothic buildings on the long street and surrounding them.

Xia Pingzhou looked up and saw the game logo of [Destructible Vegetation] flashing on the fern leaves.

The whole world was collapsing, or rather... another world was replacing the original world. The black part of the sky was breaking apart, like tiles falling from the ceiling during an earthquake.

Immediately afterwards, a bright sun emerged from the broken sky, shining on the earth like dawn, and sweeping away all the grayness in one sweep.

That pantomime-like black and white world disappeared completely.

Instead, under the blazing sun, a desert that looked like it was from ancient times shone brightly. The huge trees that surrounded the people grew wildly, like a devil reaching up madly, trying to stretch its claws towards the sky.

The figures of Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan were shrouded in the sunlight, standing there in a daze.

“What on earth is…”

They murmured in unison, their hearts filled with great confusion and shock.

Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows and whispered to himself, "How exaggerated! He managed to chase her to the space created by the movie demon. What kind of monster could do this?"

When I came to my senses, this Gothic pantomime street had been completely replaced by another scene.

A lush, wild green came into view, a primitive jungle. To the east of the jungle was a vast grassland and a long river. To the west, deep in the jungle, stood a tall cliff.

"Is this... a forest?"

Ke Qirui murmured softly, constantly trying to communicate with the movie demon, asking it to take away everyone here, but the only response she got was a red exclamation mark.

[There are 40 seconds left in the "Administrator Maintenance Time". During this period, you cannot leave the game scene. ]

At this moment, a pixelated gate slowly emerged from the high cliff deep in the jungle, and then a white cloud flew out from it.

There were three children in hospital gowns sitting on the somersault cloud.

The leader, Sun Changkong, pulled his baseball cap down, looked down at the people trapped in the primitive jungle, and raised the corners of his lips.

She said, “It looks like it’s all here.”

Mario looked up from the black handheld and reminded the other two on the Somersault Cloud, "That windbreaker girl is quite powerful, or rather, the demon she contracted is quite powerful, so I can only seal this alien space for 60 seconds... During this period, they can't escape, but now because it took a while to load the scene, there are only 30 seconds left."

He paused and said, "That is to say, you must deal with them within 30 seconds and take back the red light."

Sun Changkong snorted coldly and said confidently: "10 seconds will be enough."

Firion nodded as well.

"Let me make this clear first... I'm not good at teamwork, so I'm going to disrupt their positions. We'll split up and you guys can handle it on your own."

After saying that, Mario shook the joystick and clicked on the icon on the handheld game console.

Immediately afterwards, the people trapped in the primitive jungle suddenly saw a prompt box pop up in front of them.

【Welcome, our player, your "birth point" has been randomly determined. 】

The moment their eyes touched the text on the prompt box, the four members of the Ghost Train Group, including Xia Pingzhou and the Queen statue, all felt a black screen before their eyes.

They disappeared at the same time.

A moment later, when Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the depths of the jungle, and Su Zimai and the stone statue of the queen appeared beside him one after another.

The view around them was obscured by huge bushes and trees, and they could not see any other people.

"What's going on?" Su Zimai asked.

"It must be the power of the boy with the handheld game console. He deliberately separated us."

As Xia Pingzhou spoke, he raised his head and stared at the three children in hospital gowns on the cliff.

He thought, "We can actually fight them. They all wear collars, and their strength is restricted by the Savior Society... But the problem is that no matter how hard we fight, we can't win, because once we force them into a desperate situation, they will break through the restrictions and show a strength that is at the Calamity Level... No, it's far beyond the Calamity Level."

Under Xia Pingzhou's gaze, Mario fell from the somersault cloud and stood alone on the cliff.

He glanced at the map displayed on the handheld game console. There were red dots jumping on the map, which were the locations of "other players".

Mario said, "Leave the two people in the forest to me. You go find the others. Prioritize bringing back the red light."

"Okay." Sun Changkong nodded, and used the somersault cloud to carry Firion through the jungle and landed on the vast grassland.

The two children looked up.

I saw Ke Qirui standing alone on the grassland, with a red street light lying at her feet.

Not far away, Lin Zhengquan and Xu Sanyan were teleported by Mario to the vicinity of the turbulent river. The river connected to a cliff above, and a waterfall poured down from the top of the cliff.

"What do you mean?" Sun Changkong asked.

"Big sister, you catch the woman in the windbreaker and leave the others to me." As he said this, Firio's pupils stood up.

He jumped straight down from the somersault cloud, rolled on the grass, took off his hospital gown, and then covered his entire body with black and white fur. He rushed towards the river on all fours like a leopard.

The boy's body size changed dramatically as he ran, and his claws plowed black grooves on the ground.

Soon, he transformed into a giant black and white wolf nearly ten meters long, roaring and attacking Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan.

At the same time, in another corner of the grassland, Sun Changkong lowered his baseball cap, controlled the somersault cloud, and rushed towards Ke Qirui from a thousand meters away like a gust of wind and lightning.

Her long dark red hair was flying, and the golden hoop in her hand was dancing in the air.

Looking directly at the red-haired girl coming towards him, Ke Qirui murmured softly, "There's really no other way... It looks like I have to fight you monsters."
