Chapter 186 Mizuki Private High School (Fifty-eight)
"I'm not, I didn't, you heard me wrong."
Bei Xi quickly denied three times and said seriously, "I think you are very smart. You can think of this solution immediately."
Even though she had disguised herself very well, she couldn't help but smile in her eyes.
Nan Huan was unusually embarrassed, and stuffed the flashlight that had exploded out of nowhere back into Bei Xi's hand, "It's yours now. What happened just now? Why can't I remember anything at all?"
Anyway, there were only her and Bei Xi here, so she made a fuss, selectively forgot what had just happened, and tried to throw the evidence to Bei Xi.
Bei Xi took it very smoothly. Before she could comment on her method of framing others, she felt some unusual movement in the room.
Black shadows rose from the shadows on both sides of the door. One by one, they revealed their heads and then turned into the same person.
He was a man wearing a top hat, with a wide brim covering his face, but his figure looked familiar to Nan Huan.
Just as she was unable to figure out who this player was, and why Morpheus's attack this time chose to make so many black shadows look like the same person.
Bei Xi, who was standing beside her, had a look of surprise and rare regret on her face, but she reacted quickly. While hugging Nan Huan, she pulled out something like armor from the control panel and covered Nan Huan with it.
This armor is different from the hard armor that Nan Huan is familiar with. It is softer, and when it is attached to Nan Huan, it automatically covers her entire body. Unexpectedly, this thing is not heavy. From the outside, it looks like just wearing an extra layer of transparent clothes. But Nan Huan, out of curiosity, reached out and touched it, and found that after something touched it, the transparent armor would become abnormally hard.
She could feel that Bei Xi was moving faster while holding her, as if he didn't want to be caught up by the shadow of the man behind him.
When Nan Huan turned his head, he found that the man did not seem to be in a hurry to catch up, but reached out to take off the hat on his head. Nan Huan then saw his appearance clearly and remembered who he was in an instant.
When the Assassin Guild President entered this dungeon, he was accompanied by three companions. Except for the one called "Doctor" whom they had been dealing with at the beginning, the remaining two people were just familiar to them.
After the assassin in the forest was killed by Nan Huan with A Liu's knife, she ignored the remaining three people. Although she had already known that the three players of the Order of No Order might join forces with Morpheus in the end, she did not expect it to happen so soon, and she did not expect the current situation.
Also, they seemed to have underestimated Morpheus's abilities. After all, the players who were fighting with the werewolves downstairs and were held up by shadows as masks all appeared one by one, and had to be beaten up for a while before they could continue to use it.
But the man in front of him was obviously different. So many shadows could wear his mask, and Nan Huan could feel the temperament of these shadows, which was very different from those downstairs who only knew how to obey orders.
The moment the hat was taken off, Nan Huan found that his whole body seemed to be absorbed by the light and went into the hat. While many hats were floating in the air, Nan Huan heard the obvious sound of bullets shooting.
The light in the corridor was very dim, and Nan Huan could only vaguely make out that it was not the sound of a single bullet shooting, but the sound of bullets shooting from all directions superimposed on each other.
Bei Xi's air arrows were also fired at the same time, but her target was not the many hats or the men hiding under the hats, but the walls and ceiling in the center of the corridor. Eight air arrows directly broke the walls and ceiling.
Before the bullets arrived, a small-scale explosion formed a wall in front of Beixi and Nanhuan, and the bullets hit the wall almost instantly.
In the firelight, Nan Huan saw the walls riddled with holes, the smoking bullet holes behind the walls, and the empty ground.
"It's an air bullet," Bei Xi, who had a chance to catch his breath, checked Nan Huan's body first. After confirming that she was not hurt, he explained to her, "He is a ghost, a top player in the fifth guild. His skill is air bullet. He can become invisible when shooting, but he can only hide under his hat."
"I was negligent." Bei Xi rarely did such self-examination, and the expression on her face became much heavier. "Morpheus's ability is greater than I thought. The ghost may have become his. Compared with putting our people to sleep and stealing their skills, she can make the ghost appear in dreams in this form. All shadows can put on his mask and use his skills."
"This is a trap. She deliberately left a loophole in the room. She knew that the people below couldn't stop us, so she wanted us to let down our guard..."
Bei Xi rarely stumbled in such places. Although she was angry and annoyed, her mind worked very quickly. "We have to get out of here as soon as possible. I'm afraid the other party has more than one trick up their sleeve..."
She stopped talking halfway, and without looking back, she shot several air arrows in a certain direction behind her.
Explosions sounded behind and above her head. Nan Huan turned her head and saw that where they had originally retreated, another group of men with the same face had appeared. They all stepped on the same five-pointed star that was shining with blue light.
And there is a blue line extending from the top of each star, which is extending beyond them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bei Xi didn't even look at the man. He just moved Nan Huan to the side to avoid the rubble falling from above his head, and then hugged Nan Huan and jumped onto the ceiling.
At the same time, the wall full of holes finally collapsed.
Bei Xi naturally would not just run away, he also kept attacking, but the effect was not very great.
Firstly, because of Morpheus, the opponents' bodies projected into this dream were not real bodies, and what they hit were more of phantoms in Morpheus' dream, which could not cause much damage. Secondly, the air arrow is a relatively powerful long-range weapon, but the opponent's attacks can only be effective at close range, so the two groups of people chased and intercepted them from the front and back, and they could not get away too far, and their attack power was reduced.
In addition to the werewolf and A Liu, which have skills that can be used for single-player combat, Nan Huan's only offensive skill, the blood-colored silk and the blood-colored waterfall derived from it, had been used as early as the forest mission.
Although it can only be used twice in a copy, the cooldown period after the first use has not yet passed. She now has no attack skills to help Bei Xi.
There are many defensive escape skills, but in the dream set up by Morpheus, they are only temporary solutions and not a fundamental solution.
So the fundamental problem goes back to the beginning, how to find Morpheus in the shadows everywhere in the dormitory and directly break the dream setting.
The battle situation became more and more intense. Several times, the air bombs just grazed Bei Xi's body, which made Nan Huan frightened and difficult to concentrate.
What was once a good dormitory building is now basically unrecognizable.
Nan Huan had no choice but to look for Morpheus in an even more difficult environment and in the shadows everywhere.
She felt that the other party would not go too far. After all, both sides were trying their best to see who could last to the end. Although Morpheus was powerful, Nan Huan still did not believe that her ability could be completely unrestricted and used without scruples.
With the players downstairs and the two main attacking players upstairs, Morpheus should have reached the end of his strength.
Bei Xi's breath was still steady, but there were too many air bombs and it was difficult to tell their directions. Apart from blocking most of them with obstacles, he could only rely on his sense to avoid the rest.
If it was just a small amount, then there would naturally be no problem, but if the number was too large, Bei Xi would inevitably have the problem of being unable to take care of himself.
When Beixi's arm was accidentally grazed by a bullet again, Nanhuan had to start paying attention to the direction of the bullet.
Air bullets are invisible, but after all, the speed of bullets is such that it is impossible for them to leave no trace at all in the air. When Nan Huan felt the air behind Bei Xi being broken again, she moved her mind and her snow-white wings stretched out.
Maybe it was because these wings belonged to Nanhuan's skill, so the armor on his body was unable to identify for a while whether it belonged to the part of the body that could be covered, so while hesitating, an air bullet pierced into Nanhuan's snow-white wings.
Nan Huan gritted his teeth, hugged Bei Xi and groaned. Although he tried his best to suppress it, the sound still did not escape Bei Xi's ears.
The smell of blood behind him became stronger and stronger, and Bei Xi then realized what was blocking him.
"Put your wings back." She shouted sternly, her tone unusually urgent, but then she thought again and was worried that her wings were injured. She should treat them first. She fired several air arrows in a row, sweeping away several hats, before she hurriedly took out the potion to treat Nan Huan.
The air bullet will automatically disappear after hitting the target. This disadvantage for skill players becomes an advantage for the victims.
Although these wings are Nan Huan's skill, they have become a part of her body due to the special nature of their use. Especially in such a sensitive area, the pain is no less than being hit on the body.
However, after Nan Huan collected it, he did not check his injuries in time. Instead, he pretended to be in pain while observing the shadows around him.
Sure enough, behind a dormitory door that was blown down, she found the moving projection of Morpheus, and she was very sure that the other party's movements were much slower than before.
Bei Xi's face was not in a good mood when she applied medicine to her. After all, she had not yet settled the score with her for the fact that she was fooled by Morpheus in her dream and almost committed suicide. Now, in order to prevent Bei Xi from getting hurt, she took a bullet. If the situation was not urgent, Nan Huan felt that Bei Xi would have to give her a good scolding.
She herself knew what the other party was worried about. If it were under normal circumstances, she would just stay here and be obedient and not dare to get into trouble again. But now she found a way to escape from this place, so she had to shamelessly hook Bei Xi's finger.
Bei Xi initially thought that the other party was trying to coax her, and she decided to ignore him. However, she didn't expect that Nan Huan came to discuss something with her.
The medicine felt cool and numb after use, and the pain was quickly covered up.
Bei Xi felt the words written by Nan Huan, but did not immediately express any opinion on the other party's suggestion. Instead, he slowly applied medicine to the other party's wings and wiped them. Finally, he used his hands to confirm that the previous injury did not cause any bad consequences to the wings.
After finishing everything, I pressed with my hand on the most sensitive part of Nanhuan where the butterfly bone meets the wings.
This time, Nan Huan used a lot of strength, and tears came out instantly. She felt pain, numbness and a little sore, but she couldn't move at all because Bei Xi's other hand held her tightly. "You have made me angry for the second time. You can try the third time to see if you can summon something. But from now on, if you get hurt again, after you get out of here, I will really teach you a lesson. Do you hear me?"
She spoke these words one by one while looking into Nan Huan's eyes, her voice was very low, and while she was speaking her other hand was still stroking the more sensitive spot, the butterfly bone.
Nan Huan was so annoyed that she couldn't utter a word, but Bei Xi didn't seem to need her answer. Instead, she stroked the wing very impolitely, "Now, take it back, immediately."
It was not known whether Nan Huan instinctively obeyed Bei Xi's commanding tone, or whether the wings sensed the little beast's submission to the king of the forest, so as soon as Bei Xi finished speaking, the wings disappeared.
Before Nan Huan could react, the back wall that temporarily blocked his way in front of him collapsed, and Bei Xi had already jumped out of this brief safe area holding him.
Bei Xi no longer attacked the black shadows that were chasing her and Nan Huan, but tried to dodge them as much as possible, leading them around the entire dormitory building, and then occasionally shooting a few air arrows, hitting the wall of the corridor or a dormitory door.
Nan Huan had always thought that Bei Xi's air arrows would explode as long as they hit an object. However, she only realized at this time that the arrows shot by Bei Xi later seemed to be different from the previous ones. The arrows hanging on the wall did not explode immediately, and there was a red light at the end that looked like a countdown.
The result was that they turned around and returned to the floor they were on before. The werewolf had grown into a tall figure and was fighting fiercely with other dark shadows wearing player masks.
"Stop attacking people and do me a favor."
Nan Huan saw that Bei Xi had understood what he meant and had started to act, so he simply waved to the werewolf as he approached it and whispered a few words into its ear.
Although the werewolf didn't quite understand why Nan Huan did this, he was still very happy that he was approaching, and instinctively obeyed his words because he liked him.
Then, the original shadows saw that the werewolf who had been fighting with them was suddenly unable to get through the dormitory wall for some reason, and the strong man started to tear down the house directly.
At this time, Bei Xi also found an empty space in the hall. She swung her tail like a dragon and turned around to face the pursuers behind her. At this time, there was a blue line extending from a five-pointed star under their feet.
This is the personal skill of the player named Disciple. By using the extended line of the five-pointed star, he can lock any player and attack him.
However, even though his speed was already very fast, Bei Xi always dodged him when he was about to lock onto him.
Of course, this time was no exception. In a split second, Bei Xi had already jumped into the air and snapped his fingers lightly. Explosions came from all directions. The entire ground and dormitory began to shake violently, and then collapsed.
This was obviously different from the explosion that Bei Xi had just created in order to find a way out and hide. The former could only be considered an accidental injury to the dormitory, while the latter was intended to destroy the house.
Nanhuan had never seen such a scene before, so he was still very surprised.
The dormitory building is not very tall. For the sake of aesthetics, it is a hollow ring structure. It is both beautiful and maximizes the use of space. However, it now provides great convenience for Bei Xi to demolish his house.
There was a violent vibration and rubble was falling out. Bei Xi used his amazing physical strength and balance to choose a crooked section of railing, and stood on it while holding Nan Huan, watching the building collapse.
The darkness and shadows in the corners disappeared as the dormitory collapsed. The blazing fire jumped three feet high, illuminating all the darkness.
The figure hiding here and there was so obvious that it was hard for Nan Huan and Bei Xi not to notice it.
It was obvious that Nan Huan's discovery just now was very accurate. As the dormitory collapsed, Morpheus' power became weaker and weaker, and the figure moved slower and slower, becoming more and more like a human. And those phantoms disappeared at the moment the building collapsed because of the weakening of Morpheus' power.
The fire burned along the ruins like a dragon, connecting from beginning to end, illuminating the surroundings.
After the last piece of gravel fell down with a loud bang, the originally dark environment finally disappeared completely, and the black figure finally stood in front of Nan Huan and Bei Xi reluctantly.
"It's hard for someone to wake up from the second dream I created without any warning, especially twice."
The firelight illuminated Morpheus's resentful face. She stared at the president and said this almost with gritted teeth. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady and the president were too closely connected, she felt that if she created the dream alone, she would be easily recognized by the other party.
So she deliberately created three layers of dreams, separating the eldest lady and the president in different dreams. She was no match for the president, and she was very clear about that. Her original target was not the president, so the second layer of the dream was just to make the president fall asleep, to ensure that she would not arouse suspicion and would not investigate whether there was something wrong with the eldest lady in her arms.
And if the president had not suddenly woken up twice and realized something was wrong, and noticed the eldest lady's abnormality, and interrupted her when she was about to completely sink into the sea, the eldest lady would have killed herself by now, and she would have got what she wanted, and would not have been made so embarrassed by the two of them.
Therefore, the impatience on her face was real, and the cruelty that flashed in her eyes was also real.
