Chapter 67: Deadly Road Friendly Race
The Lego guy in the co-pilot seat almost instantly pulled out a complete set of defensive weapons, including a bunch of long and short poles, hot and cold weapons, and his entire back seemed to be covered with flags.
But he didn't dare use it directly, because Qiao Song's chainsaw was buzzing at his forehead.
He had seen the effect of a chainsaw splitting lightning a few hours ago, and the Lego Master had no way of being sure that this guy's chainsaw wouldn't just split his RPG in half and send the car flying into the sky.
Shouldn’t this guy have been “digested” by the Prison of Light? Why did he come out?
The man in the peaked cap at the driver's seat looked gloomy and reacted: "Are you a player?"
If an ordinary ghost enters that prop card, there is no possibility for it to escape intact. Since this guy is still alive and well, there is only one possibility that she is a human.
Qiao Song sighed, "If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Stop pointing the building blocks at me." It was obvious that the chainsaw in her hand was the most frightening thing.
The Lego Master did not dare to let his guard down and continued pointing the rocket launcher at Qiao Song, at least to serve as a deterrent.
The man in the baseball cap calmed down. "What did you mean? The one about the magician."
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows: "Literally, I don't get along with that guy. Since you want to make trouble for him, I am of course happy to help. The top 10 positions are fixed. Isn't it a benefit to eliminate your peers?"
The man in the baseball cap looked at her in the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you working for the Black Iron Guild?"
It seemed that Qiao Song attacked their car just for Heitie.
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows: "The Black Iron Guild has special skills. I need to do a small favor for the investor. The skill time limit has expired. This is not the point. Aren't you curious about where the guys from the Newcomer Alliance went?"
This hits the nail on the head for the strategy team. You Yitong's mushroom car should be very conspicuous, and now that almost all the players in the Eternal Night Town have been forced out, how come there is no trace of the Newcomer Alliance?
But the man in the baseball cap didn’t particularly believe Qiao Song. He hadn’t had the chance to listen carefully before. Now he felt that the voice of this player who looked very similar to a ghost seemed a little familiar.
"Have we met before?"
Qiao Song, who had given him an afro before in the Thunder Plains, did not change his expression: "There are only so many cars left in the road race. Of course I have seen them before. Just tell me if you want to cooperate. There is not much time left. I see that you don't seem to be short of portals. Do you want to go find the magician together and do something?"
The Lego Master was a little moved when he heard that, and he exchanged a look with his team leader. The strategy team was always happy to participate in such things that could make others lose face.
The man in the peaked cap glanced at her chainsaw and said, "Why should we trust you?"
Qiao Song squatted on the roof of their car and looked around: "I don't think I have to ask you to believe me, but it's more lively when there are more people looking for trouble. I feel that you have a lot of enemies. It's obviously me who will suffer if I cooperate with you."
This sentence made sense. The man in the peaked cap stopped talking. Seeing that his captain seemed to agree, the Lego man asked, "You said you have a way to find the magician?"
Qiao Song: "Do you know the creature called Shadow Silkworm?"
Many players in the Eternal Night Town have been tricked by these seemingly harmless ghosts. Although they do not eat people like other ghosts, they can copy and disguise vehicles, and then eat the hearse that the players have worked hard to build.
Qiao Song has not forgotten that this group of guys were able to cheat her through the phone when she first entered the map.
They even told Qiao Song exactly what building would appear in front of her on the phone and tricked her into stopping the car, so they must have a way to locate the player's position.
The roof of the dragon boat car clanged again, and this time a bag of ghosts fell out.
The Lego master, who was still on guard with his weapon, was a little dumbfounded: "You still have the habit of collecting ghosts?"
This guy also looks like some special ghost in the dungeon. How come there are players with the skill of catching ghosts?
"You're not much better for using a toy block as a weapon."
After complaining about him, Qiao Song took out another shadow silkworm from the net bag. This family of silkworms was the one she caught before. The one she took out had been tortured by the display screen and should have been seriously injured. Now, it was like a wriggling piece of jelly, seemingly trying to heal its wounds.
The old "person" who was put on the roof of the car was a little out of breath. This guy had been tortured for a long time by the convenience store owner before. There was a vertical line on his chubby face without any facial features, as if he was almost split in the middle.
Qiao Song took advantage of the chaos and rescued him and another surviving mud ghost.
"you……"
At this moment, the vehicle suddenly jolted, and the dragon boat car made a sharp turn to avoid a black electric wire that broke out from the ground under the building next door.
The strategy team then discovered that the huge black shadow that had been chasing them seemed to have discovered something and immediately increased its offensive against the surviving players.
"What's wrong with this thing?" He said that, but the Lego master raised the building block weapon on his shoulder and fired at the big guy from a distance, without any fear at all.
Not only them, but also the players around who were able to stay in the vanguard until now were not easy to deal with. The convoys that were originally attacking each other turned their guns tacitly and concentrated their fire on the black wires thrown from the rear.
Qiao Song patted Shadow Can's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the guy behind has many enemies, so he doesn't have time to catch you now. Shadow Can should be able to locate the players on the field. Feel it and see if there are any humans hiding in these buildings?"
Yingcan looked at the buzzing electric saw in her hand, and then saw the dark shadow behind her who was still chasing them. She didn't know if it was because she recalled some fearful memories, but she trembled with fear and stuttered when she spoke.
"I can help you, but can you please not leave me to that monitor... It hurts... It really hurts..."
Qiao Song was stunned for a moment. Before, the fat white shadow silkworm was caught by the convenience store owner and tortured severely by the other party.
Although he has a strong recovery ability, the pain is still real.
Grabbing Yingcan's shoulders and applying a little force, Qiao Song said, "I won't do that, but I can let you stab me back."
The tone was very firm, as if no matter how scary the big ghost looked, Qiao Song would definitely let Yingcan get rid of it.
Seeing her expression, the shadow silkworm gradually stopped talking. After slowly exhaling, the big white jelly, whose body was almost split in half, rolled itself into a ball and then swelled a few times like a heart.
Several small tentacles grew on its white body, like some kind of marine creature. The nearly transparent small tentacles sensed something in the air and then pointed in several directions.
"The signal is a bit weak. There are probably 3 to 4 people still in the building."
The white sphere gradually became transparent, and the shadow silkworm's breath began to weaken again. In addition, the dragon boat car that was escaping was bumping up and down. Qiao Song supported him and asked quickly: "What are the characteristics of these three places?"
The little tentacle swayed, pointing back and forth to three different places.
"There are two humans here, their emotions are volatile, and they seem to be running for their lives, but they don't have a car."
"There's a man dying in this direction. The car is still there, but the man is crushed into the building. Ah, he's dead."
"This direction... the sense is very vague, it's blocked by something," Shadow Silkworm paused, "There's only one person here, but there are many ghosts around him, and their car is still there."
Here it is!
The magician took the ghosts out, but he should be the only one who was safe and sound surrounded by ghosts.
She immediately knocked on the roof of the dragon boat car, put the shadow silkworm back into the toolbox to rest, and asked the baseball cap to quickly lock onto a building that had collapsed halfway.
The man in the baseball cap who listened carefully to her interrogation process asked: "Why does this guy listen to you so much?"
Qiao Song: "Because I am his boss."
She glanced at the countdown on the sculpture and said, "Drive faster and go over there first. I'll try to find a way to bring some gifts to the magician."
Before the strategy team asked her what gifts she had prepared, they saw this person jump directly from the dragon boat car and jump onto the roof of other cars, scaring everyone else.
During the escape, the distance between cars was not maintained very exaggerated, but Qiao Song's behavior obviously scared many players. After all, a Leo man with the same behavior had just appeared in front of them, and these players are still a little frightened.
But unlike the Leo man who jumped out of the car to rob, Qiao Song really just used the roof of these people's car as a springboard.
Amid the panic and confusion of a group of players, she stepped on the roof of their car, holding a chainsaw, and confronted the black wires head-on. She didn't seem to be there to rob them, but to help them strangle the wires.
Most players can only deal with these wires by knocking them away or moving them further away to avoid pulling their cars. Qiao Song is different. She directly cuts the roots.
Those wires were much thicker than before, like black octopus tentacles, with some blue arcs at the ends. Qiao Song aimed at one and used an electric saw. Amid the buzzing sound of the electric saw, she cut off every wire that tried to attack her as if she was pruning branches.
The chopped-off parts cannot grow back, as if their growth trend has been cut off from a regular level.
Boss Cai in the sky was so angry that he was spitting out foul smells.
"What's wrong with this player's chainsaw? The data cable that can penetrate even the dungeon can't pierce her? The dungeon authority intervenes, and the error mode is adopted. Explain her chainsaw and sculpture to me!"
[Error reporting, data analysis started... Sorry, insufficient permissions, you can recharge and try again]
“This costs money!?”
Because this is not his own copy, Boss Cai has to change his body every time he comes in, let alone check the player's skills or props.
"You keep forcing me to spend money all day long. Money, money, money. You guys at Hearse Entertainment only care about money!"
Now his wires have spread to most locations in the Eternal Night Town. After absorbing the energy of the copy, his control over this place has further deepened. In other words, he should be able to see the players' data from the background.
After angrily swiping the card to continue recharging, Boss Cai finally saw something new behind the line of data analysis.
[Ordinary electric saw, can restrain ghosts and evil spirits, ineffective for those above red clothes]
[****'s sculpture, unknown function, rule props, insufficient parsing authority]
"What kind of data analysis is this? How come I still don't have enough permissions after paying?"
After cursing, he seemed to realize that, no, data analysis was his skill, and Hearse Entertainment only provided energy for him to use, which was equivalent to him spending money to get a data card from Hearse Entertainment.
So, with his data permissions, why can't he analyze this sculpture? What the hell is this broken sculpture?
Why can ordinary players get props of this level?
Boss Cai was not picking on any particular player on impulse. Although the Infinite Game System restricted his right to monitor his own convenience store, as a data-type color display screen, he was born with some keen intuition.
He could calculate the result from some minor details - this player would become a big problem in the future, or at least a big hidden danger to him.
Every data stream of Boss Cai was reminding himself that he must get rid of Qiao Song while she was still weak, even if there was no evidence, even if there was no reason, even if he just disliked her.
"After all, where did this kind of sculpture come from?!"
There are only three ways for players to obtain props: one is through dungeons, two is through exchanges, and three is to use the pass obtained in Zootopia to swipe a card at a convenience store to purchase props.
The third option can be ruled out directly, because it is impossible for his store to sell such powerful items to players. The exchange path can also be ruled out, as items of this level are difficult to circulate between players, so this must have been obtained from a copy.
There are only a few rule-based dungeons, and any dungeon that can produce items of this level is not accessible to novice players.
As Boss Cai's thoughts were flowing, a piece of data deep in his mind suddenly began to vibrate.
In this copy, he has split out countless monitors to serve as eyes, so as to drive all the players to the central road and strangle them wantonly, on the premise of abiding by the original survival red line of the copy.
He didn't want to destroy the building and kill everyone in it with one slap, and then have to pay compensation in the end.
At this moment, a special picture came from a split screen that he used for surveillance.
In a dilapidated building filled with ghosts, a guy in a suit and top hat bent down politely and patted the top of the display screen at a corner of the collapsed wall.
"It's very rude to put a camera in someone else's house."
The magician smiled and covered the inexplicably appearing display screen with his hands. Soon, white threads covered its entire body like a spider web.
The signal is interrupted.
After feeling those sights disappear, You Yitong stood up. He was in a small garden with a big mushroom next to it. That was his car. Every corner of the garden was filled with all kinds of strange ghosts. They had dull expressions and seemed to be bending over and looking for something out of control.
"The essence of magic is deception and control. Let me see how this town deceives our eyes."
Fingers in white gloves danced in the air, using the blind spot of the building to weave a mini map showing the layout of all the houses in the Eternal Night Town.
"One-third of the area is inhabited by shadow silkworms, which are used to deceive players and devour vehicles. Two-thirds of the area is inhabited by various other ghosts. The ghost cars that receive the competition will unite to attack other players. The more house lights are lit, the more teleportation maps will appear in Evernight Town..."
He took out a magician's wand and tapped the floor lightly. In an instant, a large amount of white spider silk appeared with him as the center.
To be precise, the spider silk seemed to have been buried there for a long time and had always been transparent. It was only after he tapped it with the magician's wand that it took shape.
At the end of the silk thread, which spreads across the entire map, the threads are now being recycled, with one spider silk thread holding onto a piece of broken house wreckage.
You Yitong raised his other hand and hooked the white finger ring. The ghosts around him who were still groping for things on the ground slowly raised their heads to touch the stone dragged back by the spider silk.
"Although I don't know where this troublemaker came from, thanks to him, the entire Yongye Town is in chaos. Now it's up to you all to light up all the lights."
Every ghost gathered in this small garden has been carefully selected.
After You Yitong spoke, the ghosts who were feeling their way around the stones successfully gained the authority to turn on the lights by collecting parts of the buildings from different places.
In an instant, the absurd chase in the town of Evernight, which was originally caused by a display screen abusing public power for personal gain, was suddenly illuminated.
Just like the tourist buildings that suddenly light up in a tourist community, the ruins on both sides of the street, those houses without even roofs, suddenly emitted bright lights, some even like light strips, wrapping the outlines of these buildings.
At the same time, all players heard the system prompt.
[Congratulations to everyone for setting a historical record! All lights in Evernight Town have been turned on, and the remaining 328 portals are now distributed! ]
[Friendly reminder, the Evernight Town map will be closed in half an hour. Players who have obtained the portal can choose to directly enter the third map or temporarily enter the maintenance station to rest. If you stay in the Evernight Town dungeon for a long time, your human player identity may be negatively converted.]
The last sentence made all the living people change their expressions. If they couldn't leave in time, did it mean that they would be transformed into local NPCs?
But the biggest good news is the first one. More than 300 doors have reappeared in the town. The light suspended from those light gates fills every corner of the ruins, making some players who have lost their glass beads see new hope in an instant.
"Fuck him! In half an hour, those big guilds won't be able to steal all the loot no matter how hard they try. Let's make a bet!"
Immediately, some players drove their cars to the side. The collapsed buildings were as fragile as cardboard in front of these cars with special abilities. The brave one succeeded quickly.
The next second after his hand touched the closed door, he harvested a bead. This scene undoubtedly encouraged many other groups that lost the portal.
Just as they thought, no matter how hard the top guilds tried, it was impossible for them to travel across the entire map in half an hour and occupy all of the 300-plus doors.
However, the Leo man, who had been happily fighting for the door before, now ignored the portals around him. He simply slowed down the car, and when all the cars were rushing forward, he turned a corner and ran back with the little witch.
That was the direction the Witch Card pointed out.
"Hey lion, are you sure we're not going to take care of all those doors?"
The Leo man's voice was hoarse and indifferent: "Those are just ordinary maps. They can't reach the terminal. Even if you get more than 300 of them, they are all waste."
In the shaking carriage, Bai You, who was holding the handle tightly, smiled: "When we went to grab the portal before, you didn't have this attitude. Why do you trust the probability I calculated so much?"
"I just believe in you in your witch state."
The lion stepped on the accelerator and chased the figure that was still jumping on the roof of the chaotic car against the flow of traffic.
Qiao Song originally only intended to attract the firepower of the display screen to give a gift to the magician, but he didn't expect that the other party would find a way to light up the entire town.
Yes, she was very sure that it was You Yitong who did it.
Because now, apart from him, no one else has the ability to stay in the building.
Previously, Shadow Silkworm controlled the lights of buildings by touching the walls. In other words, in order to light up the entire town at the same time, at least a considerable number of ghosts needed to obey his orders and touch their own buildings.
The Eternal Night Town is now in such a desolate state, so what they came into contact with should be building debris?
The magician hid in a building for so long like a turtle. It shouldn't be just to secretly turn on the lights when others were in chaos. I'm afraid he also discovered some special passage.
However, the other party can actually collect so many building fragments and control ghosts... What exactly is You Yitong's skill? After thinking about it, Qiao Song picked up the chainsaw and cut off the wires whose offensive power was obviously weakened.
Why does the attack speed of the large display screen seem to have slowed down? Will the lighting up of the Eternal Night Town have any effect on him?
Qiao Song knew that she couldn't delay any longer. She glanced at the countdown of her sculpture and silently took out a special black card. It was a little witch card with Bai You's face drawn on it.
So, should I get a ride now, or wait for the witch to fall into my trap?
While she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Sister Qiao Song! Here, here!"
Gao Chengcheng opened the car window and quickly called out to the other person: "Where have you been? My brother said your scent has disappeared for a long time."
Qiao Song was also stunned. If Gao Chengcheng hadn't spoken up, she wouldn't have noticed that there was an ice cream truck at the end of the convoy. She seemed to have subconsciously ignored the existence of their car.
She jumped and landed directly on the roof of the acquaintance's car, and Gao Chengcheng immediately opened the sunroof.
"Come in quickly. The convenience store manager hiding in our car shouldn't be able to lock you down."
Gao Chengcheng explained his brother's scent-blocking skills and the special transparent jelly ice cream he had just eaten.
Only then did Qiao Song notice that Gao Bin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had turned into a human body with a dog's head.
The other party nodded slightly: "When I use powerful skills, I will become like this."
Qiao Song did not take the initiative to get into their car. Instead, he tapped on the car window and asked, "Do you want to grab the door? If not, take me to a place and I will help you guys do something in the last half hour."
When Gao Chengcheng heard that something was going to happen, he naturally said that he couldn't be absent to watch the fun, so he drove in the direction that Qiao Song pointed.
"You mean, the building where the magician is staying might have a hidden door?"
"It doesn't have to be a door. I just want others to think that this guy has been doing this little secret from all the players for so long. He must have some ulterior motive."
But now Qiao Song didn't have time to explain the discoveries in the Light Prison: "Regarding the terminal, remember, if the scene becomes chaotic, come to me, don't go into any door that you think might be special."
Qiao Song glanced at the countdown on the sculpture again and said, "Keep driving over there. I'll be there soon."
After saying that, she didn't explain how she was going to get over, but jumped back swiftly, this time landing on top of a golden car.
Qiao Song held the witch card in his hand and looked at Bai You in the passenger seat: "Oh, what a coincidence. Little witch, you have been tracking me for so long, is it finally time for us to cooperate?"
Bai You and his crew drove against the flow of traffic, but they did not expect the target to jump onto their car on their own initiative.
Qiao Song's eyes moved to the sturdy Leo man: "Time is limited. To show your sincerity in cooperation, why don't you do me a favor and throw me onto the big guy's head."
The Leo man followed the direction of her finger and saw the huge display screen with waving wires. Even he couldn't help but look at Qiao Song for a second longer.
"You're going to die?"
Qiao Song's answer was to quickly cut off an electric wire that was coming towards their car, and confidently picked up the witch card and held it between his fingertips.
"I don't know why you put this card on me, but if it's the terminal, I already know how to get there."
Since cooperation was discussed in the first place, both parties naturally have to bring out bargaining chips.
The Leo man turned his head and glanced at Bai You who was sitting in the passenger seat.
The little witch bit the green apple candy in her mouth and reported a number: "Probability: 80%."
The Leo man opened the driver's seat and climbed directly onto the roof of his own car. The little witch took his place, asked Qiao Song where to drive next, and quickly controlled the vehicle to turn around.
Qiao Song unceremoniously ordered his new helper: "Just throw me at his head. I want to attract fire."
The lion man snorted hot air from his nose, and then his muscles began to swell. His whole body grew several times taller again, but every muscle was quite solid.
This guy was much stronger than Qiao Song had imagined. Even the fitness coach she had worked with before was only half the size of the Leo man. She was placed directly on his shoulders.
"Jump back by yourself later." The Leo man said coldly, spun his body hard, and threw it towards the distance, like throwing out a discus.
Qiao Song flew into the air like a human cannonball. She slowly adjusted her body shape and took out something from the toolbox before falling rapidly.
Because of the lighting in the Eternal Night Town, the giant black shadow's reaction speed was obviously slowed down a lot, and he was even unable to discover the human being who was just a small dot to him in time.
The light from the sculpture illuminated the surrounding area. The huge display screen was like a piece of iron sheet blocking in front of him. Qiao Song used gravity to move from top to bottom, pulled the trigger on the chainsaw, and took out a prop card.
The chainsaw in her hand suddenly grew several times larger for some reason. Besides her, there was a large ball of jelly that had just come out of the tool box on the chainsaw handle, which she held with her hand and pressed on it.
"Come on, little brother, Sister Qiao will show you how to have fun."
Amid the rumbling sound of the chainsaw, she brought the shadow silkworm and slashed directly at Boss Cai's face.
With a crackling sound and flashes of electric light, Boss Cai, whose eyes were blinded by the lights of the Eternal Night Town, had never expected that someone would dare to attack him directly in the face. He retracted the large ball of electric wires and subconsciously wanted to block it, but he forgot that this chainsaw was completely different from the weapons of ordinary players.
A large ball of thread was cut directly and penetrated deep inside.
If it was the small chainsaw from before, even if it hit the screen, considering its current size, it would at most cause a small wound to itself. But this human being didn't know what other means he used. The chainsaw was magnified several times and it chopped directly at his screen like a knife.
"You arrogant ant!!!——" The roar echoed throughout the town.
There was a huge crack on the LCD screen. Although there was no way to really hurt Boss Cai's body, the body was also a part of him. He could empathize, feel the pain, and feel offended.
There were only a few dozen seconds left on the sculpture, and Qiao Song took back the Shadow Silkworm after having a great time. The opponent was almost dumbfounded, staring at his palm, not daring to think about who he had just chopped.
While Qiao Song was chopping with the chainsaw, he took the opportunity to step on its tentacles and jump out, finally jumping back to the roof of the car where the lion man was.
The shocking blow just now made the Leo man look at her twice more: "Your courage and ability are greater than I thought."
Bai You also glanced up while driving: "He's running for his life, why did you mess with him?"
Anyway, this is not the first time she has done this. Qiao Song said in a relaxed tone: "Of course, I want to bring some gifts to the person who is about to visit before the golden finger expires."
The sculpture that had been floating beside her like a guardian angel slowly disappeared into the air. Qiao Song looked at the display screen that showed a large group of people chasing them from behind and abandoning them, with a tone of gloating.
"I hope the magician will like the gift I gave him."
The author has something to say:
Qiao Song: We went to the magician's house for team building. Who told him to do it behind our backs?
