Chapter 188 Mizuki Private High School (Sixty)
"So this so-called Morpheus did this, trying to use the players in the rest area to deal with you and get the faith totem fragment from the young lady, but she herself is nowhere to be found now?"
Alice and Hongfen finally figured out the whole story, but now there is another problem.
"You said that the second dream was resolved because you found Morpheus's projection. Do we still have to look for her first?"
Hongfen glanced at the crowd that had still not left, and barely sorted out a key point from the conversation just now.
“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” Although Nan Huan felt that this answer was a bit disappointing, he still had to tell the truth. “In order to get the fragments of the faith totem and kill me, she has suppressed the system and exposed herself. I’m afraid this first level of dream is not that simple. The players who appeared here are all in their own identities, and no phantoms were seen. So I guess that after Morpheus broke through the ability suppression, he no longer needs to appear here in the form of a projected body.”
"In other words, she can blend in with these players, watch us both lose, and then reap the benefits."
Bei Xi concluded with one sentence.
This news was not good news for the players of the First and Second Guilds who were already under siege. It was also quite tricky for the people from the Alice Guild and the Pink Guild who came to help.
"President, what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"
Twelve finally found an opportunity to speak anxiously, "I don't think those players can be easily persuaded by President Alice, and their numbers are much larger than ours."
It's not that the twelve are worrying unnecessarily. After all, the environment created by Morpheus is a situation where the remaining players can gamble big, and they may even win the bet. It is impossible for them not to be tempted.
What's more, many people were jealous of the top-ranked guilds. Now, due to Morpheus' restrictions, the people from Guild One and Guild Two in the rest area were unable to enter the dreamland, which greatly weakened the strength of Guild One and Guild Two.
No matter how powerful a tiger is, it can only fight alone and cannot resist a pack of wolves. Even if some of the wolves do not have sharp claws and fangs, the disparity in numbers is enough to deter the tiger.
Bei Xi was obviously also thinking about this problem. She looked at the crowd opposite calmly and lowered her voice, "Don't act rashly. This position is not good. Move to the corners or edges where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Move slowly and don't make a scene..."
She made a decision and was about to discuss with Presidents Barbie, Alice and Pink on how to better implement it and avoid conflicts, but she had just said half of her words when she felt some sudden threat.
There was something in the air flying towards their team in different directions at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Bei Xi didn't have time to explain and let go of Nan Huan's hand. He only had time to push him to Twelve's side before jumping out on tiptoe.
The black iron axe was placed vertically in front of President Alice at the edge. A crisp sound hit the iron axe immediately. Then, Bei Xi jumped to other angles at an extremely fast speed and blocked the things that were shot at President Hongfen and Liushen one by one.
When the last wave of attacks came, President Barbie had already reacted and her outstretched arm had turned into that of King Kong.
Ding-ding-dang, something was blocked back and scattered on the ground.
The players who were originally watching from the rest area had no idea what had suddenly happened. They thought that the president had taken action first, and they all took a few steps back in panic.
Everyone then saw clearly that there was a row of loess needles lying on the ground. Because the attack failed, they missed the target and fell to the ground. In a very short time, they disappeared.
President Alice and President Pink were not players whose main skill was high attack power, but they were leaders of a guild after all. Being targeted and attacked in public made them look unhappy.
Moreover, Nan Huan noticed that everyone's faces turned unhappy after seeing the special attack method on the ground.
The Six Gods and the Twelve have quickly taken over the players from several major guilds.
In an instant, Nan Huan had no choice but to be surrounded in the center, and many allies with tense nerves gathered around him from the inside to the outside.
The players who entered the dream on the other side also saw this method of attack and fell into a brief silence.
Clap, clap, clap.
A burst of sparse applause came from the crowd, accompanied by a few faint laughs. Although the person was laughing, Nan Huan didn't hear any friendliness in his words.
The crowd slowly made way from the back, clearing a path, and a group of players walked out.
The leader was a very thin man. He was wearing a non-standard Taoist robe from somewhere. He only had one belt tied, revealing a large black tattoo on his chest.
It was said to be a tattoo, but when Nan Huan looked closely, he found that the black patches looked like the marks of a human thumb, and when they were put together, they looked like a large tattoo from a distance.
"The reputation of the First President is well-deserved. You were able to discover the Terracotta Warriors' hidden moves."
His voice was filled with laughter, but his eyes were staring at Bei Xi maliciously, "This is a gift I carefully prepared for the presidents, and you blocked it in an instant. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
He touched his Taoist robe with his hand, looking a little embarrassed.
Bei Xi's face did not show any obvious emotion because of the other party's teasing, but there was a flash of contempt and disgust in his eyes.
But President Barbie behind him couldn't help but said, "What a gift! You old man, you shouldn't be able to sleep at night, why are you here?"
President Barbie looked like she had seen an enemy in an instant. All the thorns on her body stood up. She attacked like a machine gun, not leaving anyone a chance to breathe. "Oh, I see. You must have done too many bad things and you don't dare to sleep alone, so you brought these ugly people around you. You all took sleeping pills and slept together, right? Sure enough, you are so ugly in your dreams."
Many players present had seen President Barbie's personal skills, so they were naturally not unfamiliar to her.
But even with such a fragile and petite body, coupled with such extreme skills, the impact it caused to the players was not as shocking as when they saw a cute big-eyed beauty suddenly put her hands on her hips and curse in the street.
Of course, Nan Huan was also shocked. Although she had been protected in the center of the team at the strong request of the Twelve and Six Gods, she still heard President Barbie's clear cursing.
"Who is this person?"
Nan Huan crossed his arms, looking around for a solution while asking Twelve for information.
She was not familiar with the players in the game, but later she found that people like Twelve, probably due to business needs, always remembered the appearances and skills of many people, so whenever they met someone they didn't know, they would ask Twelve.
Although Twelve knew some of the ins and outs, her mouth was still wide open until Nan Huan poked her, and she came to her senses.
"This is the current president of the Third Guild, the Corpse Driver," Twelve curled his lips, obviously not liking this person, "President Barbie has some personal grudges against him."
Nan Huan keenly noticed that Twelve was talking about "now". She thought that the personal grudges involved were not worth telling to outsiders, so she didn't intend to ask any further questions.
However, Twelve waved his hand, indicating that it was not what Nan Huan thought, "The original president of the Third Guild was not him. He used some tricks to kill the original president and turned the original president into a corpse in his hands, driven by him. The original president was a good friend of President Barbie, so..."
Twelve spread his hands and raised an eyebrow at Nan Huan, meaning that even if President Barbie scolded him harshly, it was what the other party deserved.
Corpse?
This scary name didn't sound like a good thing. Nan Huan was just about to listen to Twelve's further explanation when the voice in front came again.
"You are too stingy, President. The eldest lady's name has been flaunted in the game for such a long time, and you still keep her so secret. It's really unexpected, isn't it?"
President Barbie's words made the corpse driver's face look not so good, but he knew that today was a hard-won opportunity and he had to seize it well.
Then he challenged the president fearlessly, "Is it really like what everyone is saying? You treat her..."
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an arrow thrown by Bei Xi.
The arrow was not shot at the corpse driver, but at the woman in flowery clothes who was standing next to him with her head down. To be more precise, it was shot at the crumpled red paper in her hand.
The corpse driver's face changed drastically. Fortunately, the two were close to each other. He reached out and pulled the woman, who staggered and avoided the long arrow.
But at the same time, he felt someone approaching him.
"This is a bad move, it's a diversion."
Bei Xi imitated his tune and fought back.
The black iron axe was coming straight down towards his neck. In a split second, he could only tilt his head to avoid the vital part, allowing the iron axe to pierce his shoulder blade.
On the other side, as early as when Beixi was taking action, President Barbie suddenly raised her voice, "Uriel, activate the defense mode, Mocha Meng, put the young lady into the Transformers for me, everyone retreat to the southeast corner, quickly."
Twelve and Sixth God understood something the moment Beixi attacked, and under the roar of President Barbie, they joined forces to send Nanhuan into Mocha Meng's robot. Finally, they led the players on their side to retreat to the southeast corner.
Nan Huan was protected without knowing what was happening. She tried to bargain with Mocha Meng, "Let me out. I'm worried if the director is still outside."
Moka Meng received a clear order, how could she dare to let her go, she shook her head desperately, "Miss, this battle is unavoidable, everyone's target is you, I am the safest here, the first president and our president have given me instructions, I can't and don't want to let you go."
As he spoke, the real-time image inside the Mocha Meng robot was displayed, and Bei Xi's voice was heard on the communication channel, "You stay in the robot honestly and don't make trouble. There are too many players outside, and I am worried."
"But fighting like this won't solve any problems."
Nan Huan frowned. They were not at an advantage in numbers, and there was no hope of winning a protracted war.
"So it's up to you to think carefully about how we can get out of this dream."
Bei Xi responded casually, and calmly put the key to solving the problem in Nan Huan's hands, "The corpse chasers are not kind, we have to get rid of them while most players are still hesitant, otherwise the trouble will only get bigger."
Nan Huan has become accustomed to being with Bei Xi during battles. No matter what situation they face, the two of them will advance and retreat together, so now she actually wants to stay with him.
But she knew that Bei Xi was right. Besides, in this environment, she could not provide any combat power and was just an obvious target, which would only bring trouble to Bei Xi.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to get us out of here as soon as possible."
Nan Huan didn't think it was difficult for her to entrust him with this most important task. He responded calmly and then reminded him, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
As soon as the two finished talking, Bei Xi had already given instructions for everyone to take action on the communication channel.
Nan Huan saw through the screen that the sudden conflict and battle were very shocking to most of the players. They did not seem to expect that the first person to take action would be the captain. After seeing the corpse driver's body being pierced, many people showed expressions of fear and terror on their faces.
On the other hand, President Barbie, together with President Alice and President Hongfen, made full use of this gap and led a large force to move to the position that Beixi had already chosen, thus escaping from the encirclement.
On the main battlefield, Bei Xi was saved from a fatal attack by the corpse driver. The opponent should have used a skill immediately, but what Nan Huan saw was that three people with unfamiliar faces suddenly jumped out in front of Bei Xi.
It was not the one woman and two men who followed the corpse driver at first, but three men. The strange thing was that there was an indescribable blue-gray color on the faces of the three men, but their movements were no different from those of ordinary people.
"What skills does the leader of the third guild have?"
Nan Huan paid attention to the situation on the virtual screen while asking Mocha Meng.
"The full name of the third guild is now 'Land of Submission'. As the name suggests, most of the players in their guild have skills that can drive certain things or beings. Among them, the one with the most powerful skills is the guild leader, that man. His skill is called 'Corpse Driver'."
Seeing that the young lady was no longer going out, Mocha Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain science to her.
"When a player is on the verge of death, a certain secret method will be performed on the player. After the player dies, the corpse can be driven to turn the player into a zombie. The most important thing is that the player's skills are also driven. For every additional zombie, a black thumbprint will appear on the chest of the zombie driver."
"Then he can control a lot of players. I saw him..."
Nan Huan suddenly raised his voice. This was just like having an extra helper, and there were so many black handprints on the opponent's body.
Moka Meng knew she had misunderstood, and waved her hand hastily, "Skills have limitations. After our observation and monitoring, he can only control three players at a time, and can change players in the middle. We only know that the duration is no less than 30 minutes. As for the longest duration, there is no valid data yet."
Each player's skills, duration, cooldown time, and usage limit are all information in the game world, and knowing this information means having the upper hand, so these contents are no longer secrets in the major guilds.
Nan Huan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what the other party said.
However, the battle situation on the screen was becoming more and more stalemate, because in addition to the corpse driver, the one woman and two men who were originally following the opponent were also the first to react.
The player named Terracotta Warrior once again released loess nails at Alice and Hongfen. This time, the two were prepared and naturally would not be hit. Moreover, President Alice used the rabbit hole to return some of the loess nails.
Their people dodged quite quickly, but some players who were watching did not have time to dodge and were hit by the loess nails in different parts of their bodies.
Then, Nan Huan saw that the loess nails silently penetrated into the skin of those players who were hit, and part of their bodies turned into something like clay, unable to move freely and were restricted.
"This player is called Terracotta Warrior. His skill is the yellow earth nail, which can slow down the movement of the person who is shot until the whole person is covered in yellow earth and turns into a Terracotta Warrior. The most common method used by corpse drivers is to let the Terracotta Warrior control the enemy's movement first, and then let others or himself act to catch the opponent in one fell swoop."
Mocha Meng has been standing side by side with the eldest lady, watching the situation outside. In fact, she is also very worried about President Barbie and other players.
In the past, unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not let the robot show up and hide in this shell. But now the situation is special. The fragments of the faith totem on the eldest lady's body are like meat in a wolf pack. If it is not carefully protected, it will definitely be torn into pieces.
So even though she was anxious, she had no choice but to stay here to make sure the young lady was safe before she fell.
At the same time, the situation on Twelve's side was not very good.
As they moved, more and more players reacted and made up their minds, so more and more people wanted to break through the defense line and capture the young lady.
She whipped down a large group of people with her whip, but more and more players rushed forward desperately.
Some things, once they are torn open, will only get bigger and bigger.
The whip was quickly grabbed by other players. Twelve Mian let go without changing his expression, turned around and pulled out a new whip from the control panel.
In just a blink of an eye, a row of paper people appeared in front of those players. The red paper people were lined up in a row. They were obviously a thin piece of paper. When viewed from the side, they looked like they would be blown away by a strong wind. However, they were holding many props and weapons from the game in their hands and attacked Twelve and the others.
