Chapter 34 Bai Ye: The real king of hiding will help his teammates by hiding

“Sister Linglan, Sister Linglan! I can’t hold on any longer! Help, help!”

Just a few seconds after Lily of the Valley purified the fragments, You Yu's scream exploded in the headset again. Bai Ye almost threw away the translucent plum blossom decoration on the headset. Lily of the Valley obviously had the same idea: "You scream——"

She looked up and was about to curse when she saw Youyu rushing towards her with the magic spirit behind him. The girl's expression was extremely ferocious, with her eyebrows raised high: "Hiss - I'm slow at purification! Youyu, you always bring the dam's evil to my face, can't you hold on for a while longer--?"

You Yu wailed, and rolled over to avoid another wave of small attacks from the demon: "I would like to, but I really can't do it!"

Shuise, who was helping Linglan purify the token fragments, jumped up with a look of excitement on his face: "It's okay, I'll do it. I've charged up another one with my skills. I'll go help him!"

Linglan stood there uncontrollably for a few seconds: "Ah?"

"Hey wait! I was just saying that! Shuise! Why are you so eager? Come back!"

If she remembered correctly, she seemed to be the main attacking player? No, why is the main force of purifying fragments now the main attack!

She really doesn't want to do this troublesome job that wastes her energy!

[The main attacker is purifying the fragments. Why am I having this nightmare?]

[The main attack of purifying fragments is slow to begin with, and Youyu even slipped onto someone's face. If it were me, I would curse even more foully than Mr. Ling. 】

[But this is not a reason for Shui Se to rush forward, right? Don't let Linglan get promoted to a master's and doctoral degree program.]

[I remember this Squidward in Night City was very crazy, wasn’t he? Didn’t he used to boast that “he would catch all the criminals in the world and that he was invincible as a detective”? Why are you so embarrassed now?]

[He is a demon god after all. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been eliminated ninety-nine hundred and eighty-one times by now.]

[It's broken, I'm invincible but the enemy comes from the sky, the devil Amy's fire element is the natural nemesis of the squid detective agency seafood, there's nothing I can do]

The barrage of comments swept past quickly, and Bai Ye leisurely finished purifying the most dangerous fragments under the torii. The flashing red and blue pixels overlapped each other, and soon, in the filth, a fragment that was once a part of the circular ring appeared in mid-air. Bai Ye reached out to touch it, and the fragment quickly fell on his fingertips, and then as if it had received some kind of induction, it merged into Bai Ye's team status bar.

The words "Purified Token Fragments (0/5)" flickered slightly and turned into "Purified Token Fragments (1/5)".

"Youyu? Youyu? President?!"

Bai Ye called out helplessly three times before You Yu came back to his senses: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Bai Ye: "I have purified one token fragment. Have you seen the location of other token fragments?"

You Yu let out a weird cry, and it sounded like he had just dodged another attack by sheer luck. He blurted out, "There's one in the well in the yard of the ramen shop near Da'e Tang Ju! I remember it was on the third floor of Da'e Tang Ju, right in front of the street where you jumped down! Come on, Bai Ye - damn it! Shuise, don't give it to me! We're still on the air, don't act! You'll be scolded to death by your fans!"

Shuise sounded like he was ready to kill someone, just as crazy as when he saw Wonder appear in front of him: "Youyu—you f*cking hell—! Who sent it!"

There was still a loud noise in the earphone. Bai Ye no longer pinned his hopes of purifying the fragments on the three guys who were fighting in a group. He quickened his pace and ran in the direction indicated by You Yu.

The streets of Huangquan Town were covered with traces of burning. Tiny flames were still burning on many of the charred piles of debris. The flames of the Great E'tang were still burning, and could be seen clearly even at the torii gate on the edge of the map. Bai Ye secretly took a shortcut and went around the edge of the Great E'tang, and soon found the ramen shop that You Yu had mentioned.

The sign of the ramen shop was hanging crookedly on the wall, and the word "Ramen" could be vaguely seen under the burnt stains. Inside was a very typical Japanese-style ramen shop layout, with a single table and a single room. Bai Ye walked through the interior that seemed to have been melted by something, walked through the corridor and entered the courtyard at the back. The vegetation in the courtyard was lush and prosperous. At the top of the well in the corner, Bai Ye saw the fragment wrapped in the filth created by the devil.

He took a deep breath and prepared to continue purifying the fragments, but he inadvertently lowered his head and his movements suddenly stopped.

The old well surrounded by stones did not dry up at all. There was still a thin layer of water underneath, which was neither too deep nor too shallow, enough for people to see the shadows reflected on the water.

That wasn't his shadow at all.

Bai Ye realized it belatedly and broke out in a cold sweat.

It was the back view of a girl with long straight black hair simply tied up at the ends, wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume.

The girl had her back to him in the shadow, but she seemed to soon realize something and slowly, slowly turned towards him.

Bai Ye felt that his vision suddenly became extremely blurred. Many images seemed to flash before his eyes, but it seemed that he saw nothing. Only an overwhelming blood-red was left.

The shadow suddenly disappeared at the moment when his face was about to be revealed. If it weren't for the aching forehead and cold sweat that indicated what he had just seen, Bai Ye would probably have really thought it was just an illusion.

What is that…? At least it’s not some ghost in some urban legend.

Bai Ye always felt that the current situation was a little familiar, just like the situation when You Yu occasionally glimpsed the fragments of the Wheel of Fate that controlled all destinies when he was playing the devil's game.

But now he is unable to determine the culprit... Is it the revelation of the Wheel of Fortune, or a new trick of T173?

Bai Ye did not forget to purify the token while taking action, but his attention was no longer focused on the token. His mind was full of the phantom he had just seen.

I always feel... a little familiar.

She looks like a shrine maiden hidden in the mountains behind the torii gate, but why does he feel she looks familiar? In other words, does this familiarity come from the past of Wheel of Fortune or the future of T173?

Bai Ye's eyes gradually became deeper, and his cobalt blue eyes, which were usually as clear as the blue sky, became as dark as the starry sky at midnight.

"Shui Se! Don't use your skills yet--!"

Lily of the Valley's angry shout at the other end interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts. The fragment of the token in his hand had been purified to about 90%. He immediately increased his purification speed. When he looked up, he was shocked to find that in the team status bar, the erosion degree of the water color had reached 49%.

The purification progress reached the end and was displayed as 100%. After completing the purification, Bai Ye turned around and ran towards the direction of the Great Evil Hot Spring.

That was a very dangerous number. If he took another direct attack from Demon God Amy, he would immediately lose his self-control and enter the process of demonization.

Can't be attacked by any demons anymore.

Shuise obviously thought so too. He had already set up his violin, ready to use up the two sonatas he had charged, but...

"You can't use it! Shuise, don't--"

Bai Ye issued the same warning in a stern voice as Linglan did. Shuise from the Great Evil Tangju had already placed his bow on the violin and was pulling out the light strings of the prelude. Youyu had obviously also reacted and wanted to stop Shuise, but in order to avoid the Demon God's small skill, Fire Wave, they had created a certain distance between them, so it was too late.

The demon's silhouette was approaching the water color, and fierce flames were rushing towards his position at a high speed, but for some reason the color looked lighter and not as red as before. Shuise gritted his teeth and played the [Sonata Lock] that he had just charged.

However, the flame did not hit the ripples. The demon god let out an ambiguous laugh, and the seemingly powerful flame was instantly retracted into his palm - it was actually a fake move to trick Shuise into using a skill!

Shuise instantly understood why the flame just now looked lighter in color, because that was simply a fake skill pre-swing that Amy made up in order to trick him into using his skills!

Because of Shuise's hesitation for a moment, the distance between Amy and him was instantly shortened. Youyu wanted to rush over and block the attack with his body, but the distance was too far and it was still too late.

what to do?

Shuise could only keep the bow on the strings, ready to continue playing the sonata at any time. Since he had already wasted one sonata, he could not waste the remaining one no matter what.

Look at the hand raised, look at the hand raised...

The increased degree of erosion has covered Shuise's vision with a layer of smoky black. He concentrates all his energy on observing the burning humanoid demon, preparing to use [Sonata Lock] again to seal the opponent's skills the moment the opponent really attacks, and then take advantage of the duration of [Sonata Lock] to distance himself from the opponent, making it easier for Linglan and Youyu to operate.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, the moment Amy made a pre-attack move, Shuise plucked the strings again.

However, the next second everyone present was stunned, because no one expected that this time Amy was just making a fake move and didn't even light the flame.

Shuise's expression had become dull. He looked at Amy, who was now close enough to face him, then looked at his skills that were on CD, and finally looked at the status on his panel.

He was surrounded by Amy's flames, and was obviously completely surrounded. He used up all his skills, but when he looked up, he saw that the erosion degree was 98%. This was something he had never encountered before.

Oh, that's not right.

99%.

100%.

Shuise shouted desperately: "I'm going to die, brothers and sisters--"

Before his voice could fade away, he had already fallen down. Black smoke, symbolizing the other world, filled the water-colored surface, completely depriving him of the ability to move. He could only stay where he was and be slaughtered.

Amy even politely looked at Shuise for a second, then bowed, and without hesitation, used flames to condense into a rope and tied Shuise tightly.

Shuise was hung in the air by Amy with a rope, but he couldn't stop talking, muttering: "Damn it! There's a cheat! This demon has no moral principles! Its intelligence must be cheating! Youyu, you have to avenge me!"

[What should I say? Let’s download an anti-fraud app]

[Poor Shui Se was tricked out of her underwear by the demon]

[Demon God Amy: Two fake moves made A13's assistant use two skills for me! 】

[I felt satisfied when I saw that A13's assistant was also deceived by the devil. This morning, my warm-up match was also like this... I always feel that the devil in "Reunion" is much smarter than the devil in "Devil's Game"]

[After all, the usual game is a projection, and this one is the main body]

【etc! If I'm not mistaken, is that the entrance to the basement? ! 】

[All his skills were cheated and he fell in the basement. I don’t know how to describe Shuise’s bad luck. Was it all sucked away by Youyu? 】

The basement is a special mechanism in escape-type demon games. It is a kind of underground space with many inverse cross arrays that promote demonization. As long as the player is fixed in the inverse cross array, the player's demonization process will be accelerated twice. Because the space is too closed, the difficulty of rescuing other players is greatly increased, so it is called the "basement where you go but never return."

In the map of Corrupted and Plagued Yellow Springs Town, the "basement" is presented as an underground hot spring residence.

You Yu was so scared that he looked like the world famous painting "The Scream", but Ling Lan was as calm and relaxed as ever. Seeing that the fact could not be changed, she continued to purify the last bit of fragments on the spot. Anyway, Shui Se could still hold on for a while on the inverted cross.

You Yu wailed, "We haven't even started yet! What are we going to do now?"

Before Linglan could speak, Youyu quickly comforted herself: "It's okay, we masters can't win the first warm-up match."

"It's okay, leave it to me." Bai Ye's voice suddenly sounded in the Meihua headset, with a magical power that made people calm down involuntarily.

Lily of the Valley finished purifying the fragments and just stood up. Youyu glanced at the team status bar and saw that at some point, "Purified token fragments (1/5)" had changed to "(3/5)".

Even if the fragment that Lily of the Valley had just purified was removed, Bai Ye had also completed the task of purifying additional fragments.

However, for the purification type, this speed is a bit slow. Bai Ye must have done other things.

You Yu quickly realized something: "Then I——"

"Well, you go find other fragments to catch up with the progress of the fragments. Lily of the Valley can help attract attention outside the basement entrance. It's okay, I'm already in the basement."

The black-haired boy lurking in the shadow of the underground hot spring raised his lips: "I knew that this guy would take advantage of this little acceleration time and bring Shuise here."
