Escape from Paradise (XII)
1. Only three nameplate cards can be effective, but the effects of old cards can be offset by new cards in turn.
2. After picking up the card, you can put it in your waist bag for storage, and it will still take effect after contacting the skin for a certain period of time.
After getting the new rules, Xu Wei divided the waist bag cards into three layers. The first layer was ordinary blessing effects, such as running acceleration and body flexibility. The second layer was combat types, such as duelist and fighting expert. The last layer was for reckless life-and-death struggles - killing, poisoning, and bombs.
As for this evil ghost card, a six-point card fell on her during the rain, and out of some kind of caution and fear that others might pick it up by mistake, she collected it and placed it behind the third layer.
At the beginning, Xu Wei's nameplate was Flexible Monkey Family, then he used Kung Fu Master and Cyborg. When he realized that he could not use his skills, he attached the Bomb Maker to offset the Monkey Family, and used the Evil Ghost to offset the Kung Fu Master.
Therefore, when she fell into the deep hole, the nameplates on her body read "Cyborg", "Bombster" and "Devil".
When the pain from the bomb temporarily brought her back to consciousness, she immediately flipped open the cards on the first layer of her waist bag and grabbed them all. Although she was ultimately unable to resist the evil spirit's erosion with her willpower, the cards took effect as long as they came into contact with her skin.
She won.
As for how it felt when she killed someone for the first time? She couldn't feel it because she was numb from the pain.
After sticking three recovery and strengthening cards on her body, she took a deep breath and leaned against the ruins to rest for a while.
Hearing the howling of wolves nearby, she had no choice but to slowly move towards the body parts, pick up the props scattered on the ground, and put them into her bag.
She was not a prop master and her backpack did not have much permissions. She picked up four props in total, and with the small black box on the ground, her backpack was full.
He struggled to climb to the ground and limped away on the bloodstains.
She didn't know how long she walked, but the wild beasts she met seemed to be afraid of the black water left on her body and dared not approach her. The few brave ones were also controlled by her skills and were hacked to death one by one.
Pain, weakness, tension and confusion, she didn't know how she managed to make it through this long journey.
What is it for?
At some moments, she even wanted to rest here forever.
It was not until he saw the tall figure standing by the street lamp running towards him anxiously that he suddenly realized what was going on and fell to the ground.
"I'm dying of exhaustion."
She muttered something in a trance before her consciousness fell into chaos.
*
When he woke up, it was already bright outside. Xu Wei was lying on a small bed made of wooden tables with a thick cushion underneath.
My whole limbs ached terribly, my throat was so hoarse that I couldn't speak, and my stomach was gurgling non-stop, it was a complete mess.
His mind was unusually clear and he quickly checked his surroundings.
Seeing Lu Fanye sleeping on the chair, Xu Wei's tense body relaxed again, and he put down his posture ready to fight at any time.
Li Xia, who was standing nearby, was startled by her and said exaggeratedly: "Third brother, you fight monsters in your dreams too?"
Fu Fenglou was actually here too. She looked over with a knife in her arms, her eyes worried: "Sister, are you okay? Brother said you were badly injured last night and almost died."
Xu Wei lay down and looked at the ceiling, recalling: "Indeed, it was like a dream."
Nightmare.
Li Xia came over curiously: "What happened last night?"
Xu Wei pushed him away: "Stay away from me and don't bother him."
Lu Fanye looked very tired, with a frown even in his sleep. The three people did not lower their voices when talking, but he still did not wake up.
Xu Wei barely supported himself and stood up. The table and chairs were not in order and were shaking slightly. "What happened to him?"
Lu Fanye woke up instantly, and before he opened his sleepy eyes, he put his hand on her arm and asked dazedly: "What's wrong?"
Xu Wei softened his voice unconsciously: "I'm fine, you can sleep a little longer."
Lu Fanye uttered a low "hmm" in his nose, then lowered his head and went back to sleep.
Xu Wei tiptoed down the table, put on her new clothes, and said softly, "Let's talk outside."
The three of them walked out of the room, which was the second floor of a restaurant. They didn't know what tricks Lu Fanye had used to get them to rent it out.
Xu Wei looked at Li Xia: "How did I survive?"
Although she won the battle last night, she was at the end of her strength. If it weren't for the card, she wouldn't even be able to go back.
Li Xia spread his hands and said, "I used some props, he took care of you for a night, changed your nameplate after a while, and then you just had to work hard, and you'll be alive."
Xu Wei looked back into the room and changed the subject: "Are you a prop master?"
"Yes, you two are both capable people. I envy you very much," Li Xia said with emotion. "This little sister is quite capable. She almost gave me a discount when I was looking for a card for you this morning."
Fu Fenglou kicked the gap between the tiles and said, "Who told you to appear from behind? The sneak attacker will pay the price."
Xu Wei sighed: "Thank you, otherwise I would really be dead."
"So what happened last night?"
"Nothing unusual happened around you after you were teleported?" Xu Wei was surprised. "There was a group of inexplicable people indiscriminately attacking monsters and players. I saved someone and was chased by them."
"They seem to be very interested in the player's abilities and have been forcing me to use them."
Fu Fenglou frowned and said, "They besieged you?"
Xu Wei nodded: "Yes, and the means are quite tiring, with a strong murderous intent."
"I'm sorry, sister. I didn't find you last night," Fu Fenglou said with a guilty look on his face. "I will avenge you when I find those people."
Xu Wei didn't care: "Oh, they have been killed by me."
Fu Fenglou was stunned: "Ah?"
Xu Wei smiled and touched her head, pulling the wound, making her grimace in pain: "I've told you that I'm very capable, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."
She turned and looked at Li Xia with her teeth bared: "Xiaolou just met us this morning, so what about you? What happened to you last night?"
When she found Lu Fanye, she didn't seem to see him.
Li Xia crossed her arms, unable to believe it: "No way, big sister, I was just a little later than Brother Lu, and I found you guys right away!"
"Brother Lu was worried about me staying by your side, so I went out late at night to find a usable card for you. I found it this morning and almost got beaten up by her. You asked me what I did last night?"
"It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin," he said with his nose in the air, very angry, "I, Li Xia, finally sacrificed myself for my teammates once, but ended up like this."
Xu Wei was helpless: "Okay, okay, stop, I won't ask you anymore, okay?"
"What time is it now? Has the task list been updated?"
Fu Fenglou replied: "It has been refreshed, sister. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon. Two waves of card rain have passed. The nameplates were all replaced by my brother for you."
At the end, he added: "It's Brother Xiaolu."
Xu Weisong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."
Li Xia was furious: "What do you mean that's fine? Can't Brother Li Xia change?"
Xu Wei glanced at him weakly, as if asking him to look at what he was talking about.
Lu Fanye probably helped him put on the new clothes. He wore a blue shirt underneath, which was tattered and covered with various stains.
Fu Fenglou's words were still heart-wrenching after not seeing him for a day: "Brother Li Xia, I don't trust you. Among the three of us, I trust Brother Xiaolu more than me, and finally you."
Li Xia was anxious: "I knew her before you, why are you in front of me? The three of us are sworn brothers, and if you join us, you will be fourth."
"It has nothing to do with the order in which you met. It mainly depends on your individual performance."
"I don't believe it!"
“You can only believe it.”
Xu Wei's head ached from their noise and he was very hungry, so he went back to his room.
On the cushion where she was lying, there was some food and bottled drinking water, within arm's reach.
It’s easy to guess that Lu Fanye prepared it for her.
Sitting down in a place where he wouldn't be disturbed, Xu Wei carefully opened the food packaging and ate while emptying his mind.
Her memory of last night was not very clear, and she only vaguely recalled the battle with the trio.
I didn't even feel much about the killing that followed. The expected fear, self-loathing and terror did not happen.
It's surprisingly bland.
Is it because the sudden inhumanity of these three people makes her not think that they are the same kind, or is it because the pollution of evil spirits has eroded her human nature?
As the night passed, she didn't seem to be confused.
After eating a piece of bread, he finally felt some strength in his body. The continuous pain was not so unbearable. Xu Wei came to his senses and realized that he had been staring at Lu Fanye's sleeping face for a long time.
He was undoubtedly good-looking, with a slender and strong figure. He was crouching on the table, his hair hanging down, revealing only half of his face. His superior eyebrows were tightly drawn, and there were a few unknown scratches on his face.
The pair of long, slender hands with distinct joints, one was resting on the side of her face, and the other was stretched out and placed where she had been lying just now, so she could touch it with just a raise of her hand.
Xu Wei raised her hand and compared it with his in the air. Her fingers were short, round and blunt, not slender, so his hand seemed much bigger than hers.
It's not like the two of them have never held hands.
The first time was at the end of the swimming pool instance. Lu Fanye took the initiative to take her out of the hell of ghosts torn into pieces in order to calm her mind. The second time was in the "white house", when she climbed out of the purification cabin and Lu Fanye helped her. Later, they ran and trained together. When she really had no energy, Lu Fanye would step back and hold her hand to continue running.
She couldn't remember how many times his hands had held hers tightly, warm and firm.
Just like this time.
Or every time, no matter where she was or what kind of difficulties she suffered, she could always find Lu Fanye, and he would always take good care of her.
This might be the reason why she could allow herself to faint as soon as she saw him. However, after just knowing him for a month, this reliable teammate gave her a great sense of security.
Xu Wei let his thoughts wander and looked out the window in a trance.
The Third Ring Road is crowded and narrow, full of high-rise buildings and strange roofs that block the light, and there are almost no outdoor recreational facilities.
The card rain will begin again in an hour, and the darkness will resume in four hours.
She sighed, feeling like she was having a nightmare, as if she had just come home from work and was about to rest and have some fun, but suddenly opened her eyes to find that she had to go to work again.
There is no other way, I’d better stay alive first.
The colorful notebook was placed next to Lu Fanye's hand. Xu Wei took some effort to pull it out without disturbing him and looked through the task list for the new day.
1. Team Challenge Mission: Haunted House Adventure
2. Search mission: blind box exploration in the haunted house.
Today's other tasks actually appeared together with the challenge tasks.
