Chapter 17, A Roadblock
However, the other players who came to hunt down Zhong Bingxuan were not so lucky. One by one, they became sacrifices for the arrival of Hell Guanyin, which made Hell Guanyin resurrect faster.
"This is bad. The malevolent energy and resentment ahead are too strong. A powerful and eerie force is about to descend."
Fu Yucheng and Li Hanmo chased after the red coordinates to rescue Zhong Bingxuan, when suddenly a chilling aura swept over them.
The new player, Li Hanmo, was confused, but Fu Yuchen, who had already experienced more than ten dungeons, knew perfectly well that this was a powerful and eerie resurgence; if they didn't run, they would become the other party's meal.
"We need to get out of here quickly, or it will be too late."
"But Ah Xuan is still inside. Her injuries are so severe that she definitely can't escape alone."
Li Hanmo was unaware of how terrifying the strange resurgence was. He only knew that Ah Xuan's body was weak and she was unable to escape for long. He wanted to rush over to save her.
"You love-struck fool, can't you use your brain to think properly? Look at the coordinates, and sense the source of the evil energy. That fierce woman is obviously trying to escape. If you run there, you'll just die for nothing. Wouldn't that mean we'd be one less person protecting that fierce woman?"
Li Hanmo looked at Fu Yuchen with some suspicion. Really? He didn't just say it to fool me.
He then used his senses to realize that Ah Xuan had indeed escaped, and only then did he give up the idea of rushing forward to his death.
"Then what do we do?"
"Go to the train boarding point. Zhong Bingxuan should be able to see the physical condition of one of her teammates on the train ticket. Linlin's physical condition is very bad. That girl loves Linlin the most. Once she is out of trouble, she will definitely get on the train immediately."
Fu Yuchen himself had obtained many multi-person train tickets, so he was very familiar with the ticket situation.
Li Hanmo was also aware of Ah Xuan's feelings for Linlin. Fu Yuchen also had a double ticket, and as someone who hadn't received a ticket before, he knew the situation better. Since Ah Xuan knew in advance that Linlin's health wasn't good, she would definitely go to the boarding point after escaping the predicament, but...
Are you sure Linlin completed her first-class mission?
Previously, due to the urgency of the situation, Li Hanmo did not have time to ask Fu Yuchen about the details of Linlin's first-class mission. Now that Ah Xuan has successfully escaped, he is naturally in the mood to inquire about the cause and effect of the matter in order to avoid any accidents.
Linlin's combat ability is so poor that Ah Xuan even cut off his own arm to complete the mission. How could Linlin, whose combat ability is even worse than Ah Xuan's, kill hundreds of faceless mud men when she was on the verge of death?
"What are you thinking? Of course, I used props to help kill them. Otherwise, how do you think Linlin, a weakling, could kill hundreds of faceless mud men? As for what props I used, that's my private matter and I can't tell you."
Li Hanmo nodded, indicating that he understood. He just wanted to confirm whether Zhong Linlin had truly completed the mission and whether it was a lie to deceive Ah Xuan, which would only cause Ah Xuan to suffer further heartache before she was fully recovered from her serious injuries.
Fu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Hanmo didn't ask him too much about his personal affairs. He couldn't very well tell his future brother-in-law that he had tricked Zhong Linlin into signing a marriage contract, promising to be together through thick and thin, with the only advantage being that they could complete missions together.
这要是说出去，黎翰墨这个死恋爱脑肯定跟凶婆娘说，依照凶婆娘那个妹控属性，付煜晨很怀疑自己会被对方给揍成半残，没有揍死都是要顾及钟琳琳生命安全。
Fu Yucheng himself didn't know why he was so crazy. After Zhong Linlin took the bullet for him, he immediately signed a marriage contract with her and took on the burden for her. He must have been out of his mind at the time.
On the other hand, Zhong Bingxuan's situation was not as good as Fu Yuchen had imagined. Although Hell Guanyin indirectly helped Zhong Bingxuan eliminate many enemies, it also greatly increased Hell Guanyin's combat power.
Whether it was because Zhong Bingxuan killed Shui Lihui or for some other reason, Hell Guanyin relentlessly pursued Zhong Bingxuan.
Previously, countless players were driven mad with jealousy and wanted to kill Zhong Bingxuan and steal her first-class train ticket to buy her more time to escape.
After those blind fools were killed, the remaining shrewd players did not knowingly walk into danger. Zhong Bingxuan lost the help of the unscrupulous player who delayed the arrival of Hell Guanyin, and the pressure on her increased day by day.
What to do? They were still far from their destination, and the Hell Guanyin was almost catching up. Warning sounds kept ringing in Zhong Bingxuan's mind, each one more intense than the last.
[Danger! Danger! The Hell Guanyin is approaching. Please escape its hunting range immediately.]
How did the Hell Guanyin track her down?
Zhong Bingxuan suddenly remembered this question. Players were able to locate her using red coordinates provided by the system, but what about the Hell Guanyin? Her voice, appearance, and smell?
The Death Prophecy always said to stay away from its hunting range. Zhong Bingxuan took a moment to look behind her and saw that many players were killed not far away, their blood drained and they died by the Hell Guanyin.
Trees, rocks, and other inanimate objects were not taken seriously by Hell Guanyin. However, since inanimate objects cannot escape, even if her guess was correct, Hell Guanyin would not attack them. She would only delay their death and would not help them get on the vehicle alive.
What other options are there?
Suddenly, the image of a faceless mud figure appeared in Zhong Bingxuan's mind. Was this monster, whose entire body was made of mud, considered an inanimate object in the eyes of the Hell Guanyin? Or was anything that could walk and move considered a target of the Hell Guanyin's attack?
Zhong Bingxuan had a mental whirlwind. The Hell Guanyin was now closer to her, and she didn't have time to find a scapegoat to verify it. She had no choice but to risk her life to test the Hell Guanyin's killing rules.
A flash of white light, and Zhong Bingxuan transformed into a faceless mud figure covered in mud.
After successfully transforming, Zhong Bingxuan still felt the Hell Guanyin chasing her from behind, and it was getting faster and faster as it rushed towards her. She thought to herself, "Oh no, I'm doomed."
Ten meters, nine meters, six meters... one meter...
Zhong Bingxuan waited quietly for the other party to approach, preparing to fight to the death.
But the Hell Guanyin didn't linger beside Zhong Bingxuan for even a second, ignoring the existence of this living person, and ran wildly into the distance.
Zhong Bingxuan...
She was prepared to die, but the other party ignored her existence. That's... great.
Taking advantage of the fact that the disguise card was still valid, Zhong Bingxuan ran frantically toward the red dot.
The journey was smooth until Zhong Bingxuan approached the first-class boarding point of the Doomsday Train, when a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
"Boss, is this an unevolved faceless mud golem?? We're in the late stages of the dungeon, how come this newbie monster hasn't been killed yet?"
"Idiot, this is clearly a player using a disguise card to mislead other players and escape to the car."
"There's no need for that. The ticket is linked, and unless he says so, no one else can find out that he is the ticket holder. This is redundant and would only make people think something is strange."
"That goes without saying. Besides the one in first class, there's also the ticket holder who needs to go to great lengths to disguise himself."
