Chapter 125 Paper Town
[Emotional judgment·Terror tremor·Stiffness time three seconds]
The werewolf, who had been invincible before and could fight three men at once, seemed to have met his natural enemy this time. He didn't even have time to put up any resistance before the man on his back was knocked away.
A look of regret suddenly appeared on the werewolf's face. He was not feeling sorry for the person on his back who was knocked flying, but was regretting his own mistake.
Xiao Jue regretted the first moment he encountered the butcher, regretting not getting rid of this scumbag earlier at the right time.
The union's intelligence this time was inaccurate. Why didn't they say that the professional executed on the last day would be a butcher?!
"Butcher, this is a type of artificial professional player with the highest promotion rate and the strongest lethality among the eliminated players."
"Sure enough, the resurrection copy in the Twelve Committee is in Zhazhi Town. We must find a way to pass on the information and update the rating of the butcher at the same time."
As she was thinking, she found that there were other people approaching. The girls who had been involved with the scumbag before and wanted revenge had surrounded her without her knowing.
Seeing A Yue on her back being knocked away, those girls suddenly showed a complicated expression on their faces.
It's not about feeling sorry for the scumbag or reminiscing about the good old days, but——
"I should have taken action earlier. Now I'm being beaten so far away, and I don't know if I can pick up the head from under the butcher."
The fragrant girl, whose body was covered with various small glass bottles and was half flesh and half human skin, spoke.
Yu Xin, who had put away her pony distressedly, was also convinced by her: "Auntie, I know you want revenge, but look at the environment. Does the NPC on the opposite side look easy to mess with?"
Chu Wen, a nurse, was the calmest person on the scene. She observed carefully and quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Look at his hands. This guy doesn't seem to be an NPC. Is the part on his elbow not fully healed?"
You can vaguely see the flesh that has just been worn away, revealing the pale bones underneath.
"Strange, he seems to be alive, but also dead. You say he is a player, right? I feel like he is different from us."
A certain bird watcher has descended from the sky into the Bailu state and has returned to human form.
She thought about it and decided that since the scumbag had been caught by the butcher and was being beaten, she might as well use her ability on the butcher. This was a new ability she had evolved.
【Bird watchers’ excellent observation skills! 】
[Observing small animals in the wild is probably one of the happiest jobs. Using this ability, you can quickly analyze several characteristics of the observed object. But please be careful not to be discovered. The moment the observed person notices you, the ability will become invalid and may even backfire.]
This ability usually cannot be used on animals that are too smart, but Xiao Xia had observed before that this brutal butcher holding the knife didn't seem to have a clear mind, so she just watched for a short while, ten seconds, oh no, five seconds will be enough.
A pair of telescopes that looked very valuable appeared in Xiao Xia's hand. He started to observe quickly as if he had an occupational disease attack. His companions wanted to persuade him, but thinking about the current situation, they also wanted to know some information about the butcher. While he was hesitating, Xiao Xia had already started to commit suicide.
"Why does this guy feel like a dead person?"
Xiao Xia didn't dare to waste too much time, and she retracted the telescope almost at the moment the butcher held down A Yue. The whole process took less than 5 seconds.
She put away the telescope and quickly took out an illustrated card. An image of a butcher gradually appeared on the card. Lines of words, like ink, slowly emerged as she stared.
[Biological Illustrations - Butcher]
[Status: Half dead, still getting better. ]
[Hint: He loves to eat meat, but he is very resistant to eating human flesh, which will make him lose all his efforts]
[No.: RZ648, affiliated to Guishen Street Office, Dead Player Reemployment Committee...]
Xiao Xia couldn't even see all the words at the end before she felt a sudden pain in her eyes and the card in her hand started burning out of thin air.
She screamed, and suddenly covered her eyes, and could feel a slippery liquid flowing out of her palms.
The werewolf girl next to him was trying to use props to contact the guild members. When she heard the voice, she turned her head and glanced over here, and reminded him in a low voice:
"She used her ability to see information about rules that she shouldn't be able to see at this level. Do you have any healing items? Use them on her quickly, or she might lose her eyes."
Xiao Jue had just opened his mouth when Chu Wen next to him had already wrapped Xiao Xia's eyes with bandages.
She frowned, originally thinking that Xiao Xia was attacked, and quickly took out a golden syringe. Without caring about the pain, she quickly injected the liquid into Xiao Xia's arm. Only then did she feel that the other party's struggle was slowly slowing down.
Xiao Xia cried, seemingly in great pain, but her nails struggled to quickly grab the paper and pen written on Chu Wen's body: "Don't look, don't look, I have to write it down, write it down quickly before I forget it."
The girls around looked at each other, and finally turned their heads away after gritting their teeth. Only Chu Wen closed her eyes and tried her best to take care of Xiao Xia's wound.
Xiao Xia finished writing on a piece of paper with her eyes closed, then quickly folded the paper and put it in her pocket.
After the healing item took full effect, Xiao Xia's eyes still hadn't fully recovered, and her vision was a little blurry.
Xiao Jue, who was in werewolf form, spoke hoarsely, "If I were you, I would not easily show that piece of paper to anyone, unless one day one of you receives an invitation to Zootopia. Otherwise, don't read the contents of that piece of paper. The rules of that city can affect every player who observes it across dungeons. You'd better restrain your curiosity in the future and don't easily observe things you don't understand."
After saying that, she got up tiredly. After she didn't need to play the melodramatic role anymore, she decisively took off the wolf skin on her body.
The girls who were originally watching to see if the butcher had chopped A Yue to death turned around and watched the werewolf girl gradually regain her human form. Suddenly, they understood a little: "Weren't you deliberately protecting Yue Feng before?"
"Who? That loser and useless gigolo?"
Xiao Jue sneered, "If I had kept him in my hand for other purposes, I would have wanted to break his neck even more than you do."
She didn't explain that she kept this scumbag so that her skills would be effective, and also because of the special color of this guy's bones, which could be used to lure out the supervisor in the last round of the game.
A special supervisor unique to the paper-zha town.
"I didn't expect that the one who came this time was the Butcher, who is naturally able to suppress all paper beasts. With this ability, it will be much more difficult for players to pass the level..."
She was a little confused as she talked to herself: "Does it take so long for a butcher to kill a gigolo?"
Realizing something was wrong, she reached out and grabbed the werewolf coat she had just taken off.
It was only then that Chu Wen realized that what she was wearing was not the paper man's outer coat, but a real wolfskin product. Was this a special tool set?
The butcher who had successfully hunted down Black Bones was holding a machete, ready to chop the target player into wood on the spot, but his movements strangely froze.
He was like a violent puppet. Although he was strong enough and his prey was weak enough, his limbs began to age, his joints became stiff, and his efficiency continued to decline.
The guy, whose two leg bones had been chopped off by him and who could only wail and tremble on the spot, was holding tightly in his hand a rag doll with blood coming out of all its seven orifices.
I’m dying, I’m dying, I’m dying—damn it, why does it hurt so much!
Even at this point in time, Yue Feng had not repented for what he had done. He only hated himself for not being crueler to those women, which led to him being hunted into such a broken copy. He also regretted not tricking those women into giving him more props.
Fortunately, he still has this cursed doll, which is his last top-level prop. It can be called a top-A prop close to S-level in the blind box paradise.
[Cursed Doll: Level A, Curse matching, joints are stiffened, puppet-like, if you don't get rid of the puppet control within 5 minutes, the opponent will be directly turned into a new puppet]
[Zizizi - The locked object is detected to be in a special state, neither alive nor dead, and its ability is continuously weakening. The curse is merging. If the puppet is not freed from its control within 5 minutes, the curser and the cursed will merge into one.]
What the hell! Aren't you an A-level item? Why can't you help me? Instead, you want to hurt me!
Yue Feng's eyes were agape and his whole body was shaking. With a snap, the butcher, whose movements were as stiff as a puppet, still chopped off his right arm.
It hurts so much, it hurts so much, why do I have to be treated like this! ? Die, die, die, all of you, just die!!!
The black color in the chopped bones became increasingly darker, like bubbling ink gradually heating up and melting.
Yue Feng felt like he was about to lose consciousness from the pain. He was indeed melting, and a heat wave was getting closer and closer.
Several girls who had been watching the show from a distance also noticed something was wrong.
"The meteorite is coming, why is it in this direction? Is there a campfire base nearby?"
The girls looked around for a moment and found that there was indeed a bonfire base in the distance, but -
"No, the Skyfire Meteorite doesn't necessarily fall into the base."
Chu Wen was still carrying a patient, so she immediately carried Xiao Xia out. A Xiang, Yu Xin and others also evacuated quickly. Only Xiao Jue looked up and saw the meteorite group, and suddenly understood something.
“There are so many this time…”
The other girls didn't understand what this mysterious-looking werewolf girl was sighing about, but they saw Xiao Jue, who had been very cautious before, suddenly put on the wolf skin again, and with a howl, she jumped directly into the air to bite the meteorites that fell from the sky and burned with flames.
Ding Ding——
The red color rushed directly to the ground, part of it hit the butcher and the scumbag, and part of it was bitten by the werewolf who jumped into the air.
In the strong firelight, Chu Wen clearly saw several glittering fragments hanging in the wolf's mouth.
In the distance, another location.
When Qiao Song was about to control the paper beast, he heard a shrill roar coming from a distance. It sounded like a man and seemed familiar.
Among the humming sounds, there were also many strange calls.
Xiao Ni was puzzled and listened for a while: "Is this the cry of a wolf?"
Qiao Song hummed: "It should be. Judging from the sound, the fight has already started."
She looked at the place where the sound came from and saw large pieces of meteorites flying towards that place like a shower of meteors.
Qiao Song frowned and looked around. Although meteorites carrying heavenly fire kept falling throughout the space, how could there suddenly be so many in that space?
She thought about it and quickly checked the information with others.
Qiao Song: [Have you found any abnormal phenomena? ]
Tang Xiaoxiao: [I don’t have any for now, but the veteran players are a little strange. They seem to be looking for something. I’m not sure if a large number of shrine fragments will appear this round. I’ll follow them first.]
Huo Siran: [A butcher appeared here and is hunting down the players. The cats are very scared of him.]
As soon as these words were spoken, the news in the group spread rapidly. Lin Xuan quickly spread the news from their village. It was said that a butcher had also appeared and was killing everyone in the game field.
The battle on Lin Xuan's side was particularly brutal. It seemed that some players were dissatisfied with the butcher. Originally, the opponent was chasing a player with black bones, but now a group of people surrounded the butcher and beat him.
[Damn, that guy with the knife is pretty powerful. He's wearing a vest and chasing after a guy with a paper beast. Strange, he glanced at me in front of him, but he didn't do anything and just walked away.]
The butcher's target group seems to be only a small group of people, but as long as he appears in the player group, it is like a catfish thrown into a sardine box, instantly making all players alert.
What's more, the shocking emotional power made it difficult for players who had felt it from afar in the marginal areas to hide their fear.
Those players in Dongcun who like to hang out in groups are now regretting provoking him.
However, a lot of information was obtained from this.
[Some players have checked the number of people and used props to observe closely, confirming that there are bones and flesh, and there are a total of 4 butchers moving around, and their evolution is more complete than that of all the players, of course, except for our Qiao Song. ]
[There are exactly four of them. It seems that they are indeed players. But it is strange. How did they get accommodation without completing the mission before? ]
[It is possible to spend soul coins throughout the process, but the cost is too high. The possibility of cooperating with NPCs cannot be ruled out.]
Qiao Song quickly responded: [The butcher may not conflict with our mission, so try to stay away from him and don't provoke him. Those guys are very powerful.]
[Do you remember the reminders in the game? The prettier, the safer. The prettier here probably refers to the bones.]
She thought about it and added another sentence.
[Just in case, if you don't want to be chased by the butcher, you can try to cover up the color on the bones. I think the skyfire should not be as simple as a meteorite. When you take the campfire base, be careful not to be hurt by the flames. ]
Paper beasts have only two weaknesses, one is water, the other is fire. In the previous grassland game, everyone has already felt the damage that water can do to paper beasts. The fire at this bonfire party will definitely not be simple.
Both fall from the sky and appear on special days, meteorites and rain. The impact of the former is much stronger. However, in order to win the game, it is definitely not enough to just pick up the campfire bases that are hit by accident. You must find a way to get the base and actively welcome the meteorites from the sky.
"Sister Qiao Song, are you really going to do this? Is it really okay to do three things at once?" Xiao Ni muttered as he put on the remaining gloves for her. "The left one is already done. Is the right one tight?"
"It's okay. My real body is following you. Didn't you say you would protect me? Now the opportunity has come."
When Xiao Ni heard this, he immediately laughed foolishly: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
This time, Qiao Song's paper-cut image is no longer in human form, but it is very close. She made herself a hodgepodge shape, combining a kangaroo's pocket, a monkey's long arms, a King Kong's torso, a crocodile's tail behind her, and two horns on top. She can be said to have made whatever she likes, and in the end she really made herself a one-headed, six-armed creature.
Fortunately, she has good skills and can even make this thing move.
You know what, it feels pretty magical to make a hybrid paper beast by imitating the images of the paper beasts I encountered before.
Qiao Song moved her hands and feet on the spot, and the tall paper beast next to her moved almost in sync with her, one tall and one short, one big and one small, just like a human being controlling a giant robot.
However, the human was holding a pen in his hand, while the six arms of the paper beasts, each of different species, were either wearing boxing gloves or holding knives, guns, and axes. They were the kind of images that could calm you down with just one look before a fight.
Qiao Song let his real body stay with Xiao Ni, and the paper beast faced directly in the other direction of the Tianhuo Grassland.
Next, let her show you the correct way to use the paper beast in this section.
"Xiao Ni, let them out, get ready to go."
As soon as Qiao Song finished speaking, several dinosaurs suddenly appeared around him, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a pterosaur flying in the sky, and the Velociraptor shell that Xiao Ni made for him.
Hei Dou went to lead the way, Xiao Yu Mao watched from the sky, and Xiao Ni happily carried Qiao Song on his back and ran across the grassland. He used to ride on the dinosaur by himself, but it felt good to carry others after becoming bigger.
It feels like letting myself go and going crazy on the grassland. It's so free.
As Xiao Ni was running, he let out a cry.
The young girl who was quietly taking a ride on the ride said with disdain: "Look at how useless you are. You have learned the skills for so long, but you only want to be someone's mount. It's really..."
Before she could finish her words, she was thrown back and almost flew out. Fortunately, Tong Nan was quick-witted and caught her.
Tong Nan is obviously more flexible: "When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Can't you be more low-key and say less?"
Tong Yao's mouth pursed, and she looked at the big dinosaur tail swinging left and right behind her, and could only say sorry in a low voice. Xiao Ni snorted coldly and didn't bother with her.
Qiao Song looked at the two little guys with a smile: "Aren't you free to move around? Why do you have to come with us?"
Fan Heng said that boys and girls do not need to complete the tasks given by the system, and he will help pay the fines, and these two guys don’t seem to be here to complete the tasks.
"We want to collect some useful things to take out. Don't look at me. If I tell you information that shouldn't be told, I will be punished. Even if it's my eldest uncle or second uncle who pays the fine, I will still feel bad."
The girl's short words made Qiao Song understand why there were so many NPCs who came to work in the game. This bonfire party should not be as simple as it seemed. Even if they were NPCs, they should be able to get other benefits.
What are the benefits?
All the information she had gathered so far, which no NPC could reveal a single word about, almost all involved the shrine.
Yes, the grassland game dropped shrine fragments that time to let players adapt in advance, so there should be some this time too. Where are the fragments hidden? In the meteorite?
Qiao Song already has a shrine herself, and she is not interested in the rewards for this round of competition, but she is happy to stir up trouble, and she also has other information she wants to obtain.
The Paper-Zha Village is definitely not as simple as it seems. There must be some secrets hidden in the paper beast rules. The bonfire party is the last chance to explore this secret.
She closed her eyes on the dinosaur's back, held the black feather pen in her hand, and began to draw patterns out of thin air. Gradually, Qiao Song's thoughts shifted to another direction. The paper beast with six arms that she controlled was running freely on the grassland.
This time, the paper beast she made for herself had a strong height advantage, nearly 10 meters, and it used a lot of materials alone. In addition to those obtained from participating in mini-games in the past few days, most of the rest were exchanged with other players.
From a distance, she saw the place where the wolf had howled before. It seemed that the fight was not over yet, and a wolf was confronting a paper beast.
The strange thing is that the butcher who was originally holding the knife was standing aside, also facing the paper beast, and there was a circle of players around him, looking at the circle in the center with complicated expressions, and they looked like they were ready to go up and finish off the paper beast at any time.
She had heard the howling of wolves and the crying of players before, and concluded that there must be a civil war here. But now it seems that the butcher and the players are fighting the paper beasts together?
As soon as Qiao Song approached, the butcher noticed it and instantly raised the tip of his knife and pointed it towards him. Soon, the other party looked at his knife with a puzzled expression, then looked at Qiao Song, as if his skill did not work.
Qiao Song looked at the other person for a few seconds and found that although the equipment was similar, this should not be the butcher she and Xiao Ni had encountered before, but another one who was taller.
"There are players controlling paper beasts already, so early? Isn't it said that the price of paper beasts gets higher as you get older? Why are they used up so quickly?" A girl holding a perfume bottle muttered.
Yu Xin, who was holding a horse whip in his hand, also became alert: "Chu Wen, something is wrong. The butcher's ability doesn't seem to have any effect on this guy."
Chu Wen didn't say anything. She held Xiao Xia in her arms. The girl was very tired due to the aftereffects of the healing potion.
Almost all the girls looked at Qiao Song, the outsider, with vigilance and caution.
And Qiao Song was looking at the three-way confrontation stage in the center of the venue.
These are three very strange groups of people. Needless to say, the butcher is the one. No matter whether this guy is a player or an NPC, it seems that his goal tonight is to chop up the players with black bones and burn them as firewood and throw them into the bonfire.
But the target of his attack was not the player with black bones, but a blurry monster that did not even have a human form.
On the other hand, it is even more strange. It is clearly a wolf in appearance, but it is obviously not made with the technique of paper beasts. This is not a paper beast produced in the paper-making town. It is neither those sold in the cupboard, nor does it look like it is made by the players themselves.
Is this a special prop?
Speaking of which, Qiao Song's image is also quite terrifying to outsiders. The upright humanoid monster has six hands, holding various weapons, and has various animal characteristics combined on its body. If she hadn't been friendly all the way here, waving and greeting people all the time, the people here would have attacked her long ago.
Paper-making like this can be considered a work of art.
Some people whispered something in their hearts, but still held props or weapons in their hands and did not dare to let their guard down at all.
The situation is complicated enough as it is now, and it will only get worse once other players are involved.
Qiao Song quickly moved his gaze to Chu Wen in the center of the crowd: "I have no ill intentions. I have seen his wanted poster before in hell."
These unexpected words made Chu Wen stunned for a moment, and it seemed that it took her some time to remember who this person might be.
She hesitated for only a few brief seconds before waving and calling Yu Xin over, whispering a few words.
The girl holding the whip looked more and more strange as she listened: "Are you sure? Is she trustworthy?"
Chu Wen nodded: "We don't have anything here that's worth her calculating, and she's not that kind of person."
Qiao Song didn't know if the "she" these two people were talking about was himself. He just focused on the center of the field. The butcher used a knife to chop the unknown object in the middle, and the wolf next to him seemed eager to try and take a bite.
Seeing a girl approaching her, she bent down, squatted her huge body, pointed at the strange thing in the middle, and asked silently.
"What on earth is that?"
It looks neither like a paper beast nor a human, but the Butcher will only actively attack players with black bones, and that unidentified object doesn't look like a living person or a paper beast at all.
Yu Xin, who was standing next to him, didn't know where to start. "That was Yue Feng, a guy who used many skills to deceive women and made them die for him. He was being hunted by the butcher, and we had avenged him. But just now, he used a strange tool to avoid the butcher's pursuit. The weird thing was that a meteorite landed at that time, and it turned him into a thing like this."
Yu Xin explained the whole story, pointing his finger at the red-glowing mass of fluid in the center, his tone somewhat lamenting.
"He doesn't look like a human, nor like a paper beast, nor like he's dead. It's very strange."
Chu Wen asked her to come over and explain the current situation to this guy who was not sure whether he was a friend or an enemy. Yu Xin just introduced it in a low voice at first, but then she began to feel confused.
"The girl in wolf skin seemed to have bitten off a piece of debris from the meteorite, and then she began to attack the meat ball together with the butcher. It's strange, it has turned into such a pile of rotten meat, what is there for others to attack."
Qiao Song quickly looked away and looked carefully at the werewolf girl next to him.
This is indeed the girl who was with the scumbag before. It seems that the situation was completely the opposite. It was not that the scumbag regarded her as a backer, but this guy regarded her as a tool.
So, what potential value does this group have? Otherwise, after the werewolf sensed her arrival, his ears had clearly stood up alertly and he looked around her many times, but he was still unwilling to give up what he had in front of him.
Qiao Song waved his six arms one by one, but he did not take the initiative to join the battle to help the butcher and the wolf attack the rotten meat.
She has to judge what the other person has first.
Neither a living person nor a dead person. In other words, she does have something that can absorb souls, or in other words, she is a living creature with souls.
Yuanlong was looking at Qiao Song here, and suddenly she regained her consciousness and woke up on Xiao Ni's back. The shrine was of great significance to her, and she didn't want to take it out Yuanlong. If it was lost, it would be all over.
She summoned the toolbox and fished out the dark wooden box.
The little monk, who had just been carrying her and running briskly in the world full of fire, suddenly slowed down his pace, as if something as heavy as a thousand pounds had appeared on his back.
Qiao Song was holding the shrine and didn't notice anything unusual here. Instead, he diverted his thoughts and felt it remotely.
When her eyes fell on the mass of flesh that the werewolf and the butcher continued to attack, she realized strangely that this mass of things that didn't know how to live or die could actually be collected by her into the shrine.
What the hell is this?
