Chapter 392: Rusty City Strange Stories
The battle is about to begin.
In a flash, the entire room was swallowed up by darkness.
After the failed attack, Xu Zhiyan was still half-kneeling on the chair. The red string held by the holy children tightly entangled the chair. Now there was no trace of Bai Jin here. After just a breath, the chair was strangled into pieces.
However, the young man, who should have fallen into the darkness on the ground and fell into hell, did not touch the ground in the end.
With his feet on the ground emitting a bright glow, if you look closely, you can see that there is a finger's distance between Xu Zhiyan and the darkness on the ground. A new prop has been activated.
After he had managed to stand firmly, he sighed and spoke.
"Captain Bai, your remarks are really dangerous."
Damn, what a pervert!
Don’t think that he can’t hear the excitement in the other person’s tone, so this slice full of negative emotions is actually a sadist?
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Zhiyan felt that this was not a good idea.
However, compared with Slice's eager desire for sadism, head-on combat is not a good choice.
As soon as I turned around, sharp collision sounds came from both sides of my body.
“Clang! Clang—”
A bronze-yellow Buddha statue appeared, and the edge of its palm stretched out from Xu Zhiyan's side, blocking the sudden attack.
"oh?"
Bai Jin's voice, full of interest, appeared.
"You're more interesting than I thought."
Although it still maintains a human appearance, judging from what the other party just said, it is not a human at all, but just a monster in human skin.
The black military uniform almost blended into the darkness, with only the silver-white chain on it still clear.
"I didn't expect you to have the strength to resist." It said in a hoarse voice.
The Virgin Mary holding the cross stood up in the dark space, tears and blood flowing from her eyes, and she stood in front of her master as soon as she was able to move.
Hearing what Slice said, Xu Zhiyan poked his head out from the side of the Immaculate Mother's huge body and gave a perfunctory explanation.
"Since you knew that players can use items and skills, you should have thought that I would resist."
He is not really a weakling, he just prefers peaceful solutions in order to reduce consumption.
Although he appeared calm on the outside, Xu Zhiyan was extremely conflicted inside.
A translucent detection panel lit up on his right side, and the data belonging to Bai Jin on it was constantly changing.
As high-tech products, several of the high-consumption items previously produced by the technology tree will display the specific data of the target object in digital form.
This is also the reason why Xu Zhiyan suddenly chose to take action just now.
After he was able to use the props, he took them out and made a concrete numerical estimate of the white embers in front of him.
Who knew that the prop inspection would encounter Waterloo at the first try.
Not counting other data, he didn't even detect that Bai Jin was not a human. You have to know that the consumption of these items is almost accurate to the second... Otherwise, he would not have chosen to attack rashly.
"So there is really no possibility of sitting down for negotiations again now?"
Xu Zhiyan spread out his hands and said gently.
"Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us."
It really costs too much money to fight.
The combat effectiveness and defense power of the slice have been constantly rising.
Unexpectedly, when Bai Jin heard this, his eyes finally fell on Xu Zhiyan's arm.
In a space without the restrictions of rules, the Immaculate Virgin, as a prop with both healing and attack attributes, was shedding tears of blood that crawled up along the young man's ankles and calves after landing, all the way to his jaw and neck, and all the red marks disappeared wherever it went.
"You looked good when you had marks on your body." Its tone was full of disappointment.
"……trace?"
Xu Zhiyan was stunned, and looked down in the direction the other person was looking. He realized belatedly that the "slice" referred to the marks left on his body from being tied up just now.
Damn, this is so perverted!
The irrelevant communication makes people's scalp tingle.
At this time, the Immaculate Virgin, who had already stopped her tears and blood, took another step forward, holding the cross.
Without any instructions, after mastering new skills, it seemed to begin to move beyond the scope of props and possess stronger subjective initiative.
"……kill."
A word uttered in a low voice from the mouth of the Madonna.
It is like other loyal monsters, and will eliminate anything that threatens its master.
Listening to the voice of the Immaculate Mother, a hint of joy flashed in Xu Zhiyan's eyes.
The emergence of autonomous consciousness is a good sign. If it continues like this, perhaps it will be able to upgrade again.
"Bang--"
Another tentative attack appeared, and was blocked by Human Skin Buddha as expected.
But now is not the time to be happy about skill upgrades. Xu Zhiyan regained his composure and stopped the Immaculate Mother when she continued to move forward.
"Just protect me."
Bai Jin’s panel data has been growing all the time.
Although Xu Zhiyan has not used it to measure the combat effectiveness of the Immaculate Mother, he knows with his feet that it is definitely not as good as slicing it.
Slice's attacks on him were always slow and steady, even as if he was joking. He must have thought that he had already won, and there was no need to send props to die.
“I feel sad that the talks broke down.”
Xu Zhiyan was surrounded by monsters and spoke lightly.
The next second, the surrounding darkness began to sway and crack, like a wall with paint peeling off.
Soon, a huge tent roof with colorful flags replaced the originally dark sky above and was reflected in Xu Zhiyan's pupils.
"Welcome to the circus!"
The clown's sharp voice came from the gaps around.
It turns out that when the room restrictions are lifted and skills can be used, in addition to the props in Plan A being activated, the Plan B prop Ghost Face, which is a backup plan, is also activated.
When the last piece of darkness turned into fragments and fell, a black cage suddenly fell down where Bai Jin had originally stood.
"Bang!"
A huge noise occurred.
Xu Zhiyan touched his ears which were numb from the shock, and his tone became much harder than before.
"You burn money just like Him."
The space created by the strange mask is relatively large, so if you want to conceal your aura and avoid being discovered, you need more expensive props.
"Since physical attacks don't work on you, let's try mental suppression."
Perhaps because he was very dissatisfied with spending extra money, Xu Zhiyan crossed his arms and looked at the slices locked in the cage, frowning slightly.
The fact that the Immaculate Mother couldn't catch it before means that the shape of the slice can be changed. In this case, using physical attacks would be a waste. However, mental attacks are different. They are not picky about the target and it doesn't matter whether it has a physical body or not.
I hope the twelve levels of mental suppression can make the slices a little more docile.
Bai Jin just stood in the middle of the cage. Even after this incident, he still didn't react at all, with a cruel smile on his face.
It didn't say anything. If it weren't for the dark shadow trapped under its feet that was rushing around like a headless fly, Xu Zhiyan would have thought that his plan had failed.
"biu!"
A monkey wearing a clown mask came waddling from behind the scenes on a unicycle.
"Oh my dear master! I didn't expect you would use me so soon! I'm really too excited!" Guimian's tone still sounded like he deserved a beating.
The monkey took out a black cloak with a plush collar from his hand like a magician.
"Master, you are cold, right? I have a warm cloak here!"
It was the first time that a strange wild animal put a coat on Xu Zhiyan. His body stiffened for a moment, and he turned his head and frowned at the mask.
Unexpectedly, the mask that was smiling just now moved closer, and the upturned corners of the mouth almost fell outside the mask.
Guimian's voice is low but he speaks very quickly.
"Master! Boss Xu! Ancestor! You didn't tell me to suppress such a strong monster before you activated me!!"
The voice was full of fear. Guimian had not expected that the first task he received after changing his master would be so big. It almost broke his space apart.
“Don’t even mention the twelve levels of thought confinement! I was able to apply one level only because it didn’t react. Master, you need to think of a way. Or you can sell me out. I want to play in a low-level game.”
“…”
Xu Zhiyan had considered that the twelve levels of thought control might be useless, but he never thought it would be so useless.
"How long can it be trapped?" he asked.
"Ten minutes, ten minutes at most. If you have any killer moves, use them now!" The hairless man wiped the tears from his mask with his paws. "If it uses all its strength, I can only trap it for another minute at most."
Without waiting for Xu Zhiyan to answer, Slice, who had been silent all the time, suddenly laughed out loud.
"It seems that you are aware of your current situation."
Its greedy eyes caught sight of the young man whose body was mostly covered by his cloak, as if it wanted to strip him naked with its eyes.
"I won't kill you."
“You may not be comfortable with it at first, but you will always be happy.”
It tells the future of its prey in a joyful tone.
"Don't worry, you brought His consciousness to me, you are my hero." Bai Jin suddenly smiled.
If it didn't understand why Xu Zhiyan was so obedient before, then when the young man took out the horns, it suddenly understood everything.
There was an aura of oppression emanating from it that made it terrified.
It dodged instinctively, and the moment Xu Zhiyan took out the thing, it noticed something strange and successfully dodged.
But soon, Bai Jin understood His situation.
"He is a poor fellow who can only be bound by rules and props. I am different from Him."
Yes, even if that is the real body...so what?
It will no longer be afraid. As long as it devours the other party, it will become complete and become the master.
However, Xu Zhiyan was not as panicked as imagined at this time.
I saw him taking out the horn hanging around his neck again, and there was only heartache on his expression, but I didn't know what he was feeling sad about.
"Mental and physical attacks are useless. You are indeed the toughest slicer I have ever encountered."
Xu Zhiyan raised his right hand and his eyes fell on the white bones embedded in the upper half of his hand.
Perhaps the ghosts and gods had done some special treatment, the slices had never reacted to the hand bones, and the guy in front of him was no exception.
"You're the first person to make me use Plan C."
After saying this, Xu Zhiyan’s raised left hand dropped heavily again, but this time the target was not the sliced chest, but the back of his own hand.
When the bones and horns collided, a dazzling white light appeared and swallowed everything in an instant.
"You have to deal with your own slices yourself."
Xu Zhiyan closed his eyes and muttered.
It was normal that the props in the ghost slicing game could not be handled, and he had already prepared a backup plan. Therefore, when using skills, except for the concealment and detection props, all other props that required additional money, including the skills that the ghosts and gods had given, were useless. He hoped to reduce costs as much as possible and avoid being sliced and detected.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Go all out. Don't worry about being detected by the main system."
This is the real reason why he put on the clown mask.
By installing confusing props in the space, even if the slices are swallowed up in a while, the ghosts and gods cannot control the power of the main system to avoid it, and they will not be detected immediately.
In the chaos, Xu Zhiyan heard the ghost's calm answer mixed with a smile.
"good."
As if to appease Xu Zhiyan, He even added a time limit.
"I'll have it done in five minutes."
