Chapter 3 Bai Ye: Haha, the big city opportunity is Doha
Bai Ye wanted to die a little.
In every sense.
At this moment, he was hanging in the air with the help of a steel bracket. The awakened soul tag skill could help him steal away his fatigue and slowness, so he could now maintain a relatively balanced state under the hidden steel frame on the top floor of the building.
There was a bottomless abyss under his feet, and the only thing connecting him to the steel frame was a pair of flesh and blood hands. Bai Ye adjusted his breathing gently, fearing that the sensitive Shuise would notice his presence.
Compared to the fact that he could fall hundreds of meters from a height at any time and anywhere, Bai Ye's chaotic emotions at the moment all came from another thing.
Unfortunately, t173 is just an incompetent option simulator that deprives others of their personal freedom and is completely unable to listen to his current complex emotions.
Bai Ye knew that there were many opportunities in big cities, but not this many. He clearly just came to "steal the heart of the night", but he didn't expect to run into a member of the Squid Detective Agency founded by his favorite high school student, Youyu, a devil game player, the pioneer of the other world and the destroyer of devils - Shuise!
That's a member of his favorite player organization from the other world! What's the difference between this and Ultraman suddenly appearing in front of him? !
Bai Ye, who suddenly bumped into his idol, took a deep breath, hung in the drizzling rain to calm himself down for a long time, and finally managed to suppress his excitement.
The rain had begun to stop tonight. He looked up and saw that the clouds had dispersed and the moon had risen to the highest point in the sky.
[It is detected that the plot anchor point has arrived. Your Gold Finger t173 asks you: Do you want to reserve all the costs of "stealing" at once? Wait until the host believes it is in a safe environment before paying the price? 】
Bai Ye rolled his eyes and thought to himself what kind of golden finger you are, you’re more like a golden-handed ghost!
But to be on the safe side, he still clicked confirm.
"Okay," the black-haired boy took a deep breath, "It's time to get to work."
Neon Heart Top Floor Jewelry Exhibition.
Shuise has not found any trace of the black shadow on the rooftop. This is simply impossible for him, an A13 player. In the demon game, even the demon's projection incarnation cannot conceal his breath and he can detect it clearly.
It is precisely because of such sensitive senses that he works part-time as a human-shaped map, helping the Squid Detective Team to annihilate the devil's incarnation in the devil game time and time again, and thwart the devil's temptation to the surface world.
But now…
Shuise returned to the hall of Neon Heart and opened his eyes anxiously. Along the way, he still did not notice any strange breath.
Every person moving at the jewelry exhibition turned into a line of notes at this moment. The law enforcers' notes were distinct, the exhibitors' notes were crisp, but none of the notes belonged to that terrifyingly light figure.
Shuise realized belatedly that perhaps he had misjudged the other party.
His gaze was cast towards the Night's Heart, who was quietly lying in the display case and shining brilliantly. Perhaps the other party was not a "rising star" like him who had awakened his signature skills within three years, but a "senior" who was so low-key that no one knew about him and who had been silent for many years and finally made a move?
Who is that thief who suddenly appeared?
“Ka——”
The moment the thought emerged, a familiar, crisp sound like a snap of fingers rang out in the hall. Shuise quickly concentrated on finding the source of the sound, but stopped in place the next second.
Whether it was the spotlights or the neon lights, all the light sources in the entire jewelry exhibition were extinguished again in an instant, as if they had been stolen. Even the miniature lights in the display cabinets designed to display jewelry were completely extinguished in an instant.
“It’s Magic time!”
Someone's voice echoed loudly in the hall. In the darkness, following the trajectory of the voice, Shuise finally found a strange trace. The familiar figure flashed in the darkness in a way that was completely imperceptible to the naked eye, and quickly went towards the display case of the Heart of Night.
Shuise quickly reminded: "Sister Hongxin!"
Red Heart reacted very quickly: "Law Enforcers! Go to Night Heart's display case and intercept him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, twisted darkness instantly enveloped the entire hall. Horrible, shadow-like monsters peeled off from every display case, transformed into strange human-shaped shadows, and walked towards everyone.
"It's the demon servant! Protect the people! Protect the people!"
Every game field where a powerful demon is about to be born will continuously release monsters. These monsters are called demon servants. They are the followers of each demon in the inner world. They will continuously escape from the space before the game field is resolved by the soul tag owner, causing damage to the surface world.
Demon servants are not common. The leading demon in this demon game is probably the best among demons, even...
The most dangerous thing that humans have faced in recent years is the Demon God level.
The law enforcer's loud warning sounded, and Hong Xin didn't care about anything else. She whipped a human shadow and quickly began to direct the law enforcers' formation.
“Oh my god, everyone! Stay calm! Aaaaaaahh ...
Screams came one after another from the panicked crowd. The host shouted and tried to help the law enforcers maintain order, but no one listened to him. He himself was soon frightened by the human-shaped shadow and almost fainted. He was supported by Red Heart and was able to stand.
Hong Xin was pushed aside by several frightened and panicked exhibitors in the dark, and was a step late. However, Shuise became the first person to approach the Night Heart display case because of his perception of the surroundings. He picked up his mobile phone and shone it at the display case in the chaotic scene, and found that there was nothing inside.
The display case was intact and the glass had no cracks, but the Heart of Night disappeared under almost impossible circumstances. The whole process took only a dozen seconds.
"Is this your plan... to trigger the game space that is about to be formed here, throw the entire exhibition into chaos, and take away the Heart of Night without caring about casualties."
Shuise's voice was very solemn. Such reckless behavior reminded him of another force with tag skills besides the law enforcers and neutral player organizations.
The Devil Apostles are lunatics who have existed since BC and believe in the devil in the other world that is made up of malice.
It is also the absolute enemy of players in the Devil Game.
"Assholes like you want to take the Heart of Night away - that depends on whether I allow it."
Shuise's expression became serious. He took one last look at the display case, then his body quickly turned into a water drop and disappeared in front of the display case. The next second, the winding water flow had accurately identified the object of his pursuit. On the rooftop of the Neon Heart Building, a cold wind blew on a rainy night. Shuise condensed his body again, and the sharp bow in his hand was already placed on the side of a person's neck.
The figure hidden in the darkness has his back to the water, wearing a black short cape and a close-fitting windbreaker. The long cloak fixed with a belt has a beautiful shape, and the forked hem is as light as a swallowtail, with starry patterns on it, which sparkle in the moonlight and emit a blue sheen, as if leaving behind starry light while moving, or like fluorescent waves, almost blending into the heart of the night.
"Hello, Mr. Phantom Thief who caused such a serious commotion."
Shuise looked at the flashing red and blue light in the tactical belt on the other party's waist - that was the light of the Heart of Night, but at this moment the light was mixed with some ripple-like colors.
Shuise smiled confidently and said, "Not bad! It seems you didn't notice the mark I set on the Night Heart showcase, otherwise you wouldn't have let me teleport to your side with the help of this mark."
"Hey, hey, what did you say? Why don't I understand?"
Bai Ye, who is fearless under the skin of a phantom thief, may talk nonsense but he has already started the star-chasing mode in his heart. As expected of a member of the detective agency and the protagonist group of the game "The Wicked City", he actually set an ambush on the display case early on. Although he is the phantom thief who was ambushed, it does not affect his praise for his own idol.
Bai Ye secretly encouraged himself, turned around, and tried to face Shuise with a wild smile that was completely different from his usual law-abiding personality, but he really couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.
Mizuise gripped the bow vigilantly. The thief, who was about the same height as him, turned around. A black and blue half-mask covered the upper half of his face. The light pattern extending from the red round sun seemed to be making a heart shape. Inverted crosses rose on both sides of the mask, like earrings, revealing only a pair of bottomless eyes.
The color scheme is consistent with the DM system's display screen, with blue irises and red pupils, strange yet beautiful eyes.
that is……
Shuise: ...I feel like this smile is familiar, as if I've seen it on the faces of some of the president's extreme fans.
"Ahem..." Perhaps realizing that his laughter was too exaggerated, Bai Ye quickly coughed tactically to cover up his embarrassment, but Shuise mistook it as a signal that he didn't care about the threat of the bow on the side of his neck at all, so he vigilantly pulled the bow tighter again.
"Oh my, I told you there's no need to be so nervous. I'm really just a magician passing by, not a demon apostle that you should be so alert to."
As an old fan, Bai Ye knew without thinking who Shuise thought of him with his serious expression. He snapped his fingers to try to ease the atmosphere. However, as if the scene had been designed long ago, the crisp snap had just sounded and the blood-red color instantly covered everything around. The game space arrived at the right time, and the prompt sound of the DM system of the other world made people's ears numb.
【Welcome to the other side world!】 Dear players! It has been detected that the conditions have been met. The DM will now open the game copy for you - which is the entrance to the demon realm! 】
The chaotic electronic sound with sharp edges pierced directly into the ears of the two people. The black and red space gradually solidified, and the surroundings changed completely into another appearance as if a holographic game was loaded into a copy scene - the Neon Heart turned into an abandoned building. The inner world and the outer world were about to overlap slowly as the game progressed. The law enforcers hurriedly began to call on the exhibitors of the jewelry exhibition to retreat as soon as possible.
The unlucky Bai Ye and Shuise happened to be located on the rooftop.
The thief's wide windbreaker was blown up by the night wind on the rooftop. The wide black hood covered his hair, leaving only a few strands of silver moonlight. The short cloak fluttered along the curve of the windbreaker and was fixed by a silver hollow inverted cross star. Compared with the thief, he looked more like a monastic assassin in a medieval comic book, except that his clothes were more capable and simple.
Shuise stared at Baiye in astonishment: "You even calculated the time to enter the game? It seems that your level among the Demon Apostles is not low-"
Bai Ye feels that it will soon snow in June in Night City:...I said I really didn't know that snapping fingers could cause such a result, do you believe it?
Shuise shook his head very sincerely and politely: "I really don't believe it."
Bai Ye was so nagging: "Then don't believe it."
Water color:? ? ?
