Jia Zhengyi's complaints were not entirely sincere. After a few seconds of not being able to see Su Lin, he quickly disappeared into the darkness, found the safest hiding spot, and kept rushing towards the place where Su Lin had vanished.
Just kidding, Radar Bro has seen it all, he's seen all sorts of dangerous situations.
The "hide-and-seek" trait may seem cute, but it's also an adventurous instinct honed through countless trials and tribulations.
Jia Zhengyi's ability to avoid danger was clearly superior to Xiao Linlin's, so in order to save time, Su Lin only brought Xiao Linlin with her.
"Brother, although we didn't bring our superpower certificates, I reckon the hotel has already sent people over."
Xiao Linlin nestled in Su Lin's arms, so comfortable that she squinted her eyes slightly, but she didn't forget her job. She reminded Su Lin, "I'm not sure yet, but my intuition tells me that we're probably being watched, and there are probably supernatural police officers waiting for us to go back to the hotel."
"My brother must have sensed the danger, which is why he set such a tight timeframe for the pursuit."
"Um."
Su Lin nodded calmly, and Xiao Linlin comforted her, "It's alright, an hour is enough. If we don't even go back to the hotel before dawn, it's safe."
The more powerful and strictly regulated a social system is, the more it emphasizes procedures and processes. The level involved by Su Lin and his two companions is not yet enough to attract attention. This is the period when the local forces are ignoring them, which Su Lin needs to firmly grasp.
Su Lin is very good at seizing opportunities in battle; his combat instincts are almost comparable to Jia Zhengyi's information skills.
"It's right there!"
Before long, Su Lin had already detected two players walking quickly on the street thanks to his powerful perception.
Although his own recovery rate of lost items is less than 50%, which prevents him from accepting pursuit missions, his perception stat is sufficient to complete combat search work.
The two players had clearly teamed up; they hurried along, blending into the crowd, while a screen on the street next to them was broadcasting news of the recent bar explosion.
Furthermore, since most of the surviving players had seen through the trap, they could easily guess what was happening in the distance.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would know that the danger to themselves has not yet disappeared.
"Not enough, we still don't have enough people..."
One player lowered his voice and said to his companion, "These people are taking a huge risk. They're playing very high-stakes games and they're trying to take the third escape route. We need to hide and not get hunted down."
"As long as we hold out until there are only 20 players left, we'll be safe. We can get a free promotion spot, at least 20th place. That's a huge win!"
"Yeah, you're smart, I'll listen to you."
The other person nodded, then suddenly hesitated: "Brother, if we don't have enough people... you won't attack me, will you? It's not that I don't trust you, but even if you really want to kill me to make up the numbers, you should at least tell me first."
"How could that be!"
His teammate's expression changed drastically, and he said in a low voice with slight anger, "Are you stupid? We're on the same team, we can't cause friendly fire; besides, I owe you a life. If you hadn't seen through that fake warning, we would already be... *splat*!"
Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, and scalding hot blood gushed from his chest, drenching his teammates.
"elder brother!!"
His teammates were shocked and panicked, and instinctively reached out to catch his limp body as he collapsed.
A large, gaping hole was visible in his chest. Not only were his teammates filled with confusion and panic, but even he himself didn't know when he had been hit... Who is trying to kill me?
"Run...run fast!"
He mumbled as he raised his head, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth, yet he still struggled to remind his teammates: "Don't worry about me! Run! He's just here to make up the numbers!"
It's too late.
As he uttered those words, in the last second before he breathed his last, he saw a dagger silently pierce his teammate's head.
It enters from the left temple and exits from the right, leaving behind a stunning line of blood.
The two bodies slid down onto the street. An NPC in the crowd noticed something was wrong and rushed forward in alarm, only to be surrounded by onlookers.
In the moment before the crowd closed in, in the second before the darkness of death descended.
He saw it through the crack.
A young man holding a little girl disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
His intuition told him that it was the murderer.
But he didn't know the man's name...
"The number of people is wrong. The remaining two are very clever and didn't sense it."
Su Lin didn't waste any time; he turned around and left to go back and find Jia Zhengyi.
His perception range was powerful, but it still couldn't compare to Jia Zhengyi's ultra-long-range positioning. When the target was moving at high speed, Su Lin still needed Jia Zhengyi to constantly correct the target's position.
"Luckily, my brother ran fast, otherwise it would have really wasted time."
Xiao Linlin complained in her arms, "We need to find a way to train Radar so he can keep up with his brother's speed, or... we need to learn some long-distance communication methods."
"Let's talk about it next time. Don't strive for perfection."
Su Lin moved swiftly in the darkness, precisely avoiding the crowd.
"By the way, brother, I've noticed you've been using the spinning characteristic the whole time... Hmm, weren't the characteristics of the Tang sword changed? How come you're still using it so precisely?"
"I'm used to it."
Su Lin's answer remained the same, and these brief words filled Xiao Linlin's face with surprise. She felt Su Lin's extraordinary combat talent even more deeply: "Brother is so amazing! After the characteristic he used disappeared, he was actually able to replicate it with his own strength!"
