The illusion slowly broke open, and Minghao suddenly woke up. He found that he was still standing there intact. He subconsciously touched his legs and found that his calves, which had collapsed in the singularity, were still intact. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked up at the figure standing about five meters in front of him. This woman had tortured and killed him countless times in the illusion. Behind her were the three players who were just watching.
He knew very well that the words he blurted out without thinking just now when his defense was broken had been heard by them.
Minghao had killed several players before, so he naturally understood the true meaning of the phrase "Player information erased." He had considered this earlier, believing it was the only possible flaw. So, ever since he'd killed Hailan that night, he'd been diligently reminding himself to forget about it. Like the other players on the World Channel, he used "top player" as a replacement for "Hailan" and was extremely cautious in his comments. But in that situation just now, his mental defenses had completely crumbled, and he couldn't think of anything other than venting his emotions.
He didn't really die, but was killed again and again. Each death process was too painful, and he didn't want to experience it again in his life, especially this time when he was "tortured" by the singularity.
Thinking of this, Minghao decisively activated the [Space Jump] skill and quickly opened a small wormhole in front of him.
He wants to escape.
There is no need to die if you can't win, you can still escape, he is not a fool.
The skill [Emotional Desensitization] quickly cleared away the negative emotions he had experienced in the previous illusion, allowing him to think rationally and make the most appropriate judgment.
Minghao knew very well that there was a huge gap between them in terms of level, and it would be foolish to try to fight against a rock with an egg. After he leveled up a bit and acquired more combat skills, he would fight back!
Minghao leaped into the small vortex in front of him. The moment he entered, the vortex rapidly shrank from the four sides to the center.
The current energy cannot support him to teleport too far, so he set the coordinates in the suburbs 20 kilometers away from Donghai City, in the heart of the island.
Tao Sai reacted just as quickly, teleporting over and diving into the closing vortex.
The other side of the wormhole was a muddy wilderness, uninhabited. Mounds of earth shielded the area from the strong winds, making it relatively calm compared to the harbor. Minghao took a breath. He planned to rest here and recharge before leaving the East China Sea.
But just as he jumped out of the wormhole, a black shadow followed closely, like a cheetah chasing a gazelle, and pounced on him to the ground, and his entire face sank into the mud.
The spring knife in Tao Sai's hand stabbed into his left back steadily and accurately, piercing his heart.
He fell to the ground and struggled for a while before stopping moving. This time he did not wake up from the illusion.
[Player [Minghao] has been killed and his information has been erased.]
Before this, the world channel remained absolutely silent for nearly ten minutes. After Cx330 said she wanted to choose a team-building game, many players even became nervous. They were worried about the fate of their compatriots and hoped that she would have a change of heart at the last moment.
But the system notification they least wanted to see still appeared like a bolt from the blue.
[Ember (Lv3)]: Damn it, she killed someone again!
[Dangxiang (Lv3)]: Iron beast!!
[Daqiao (Lv3)]: Murderous devil! I'm waiting to see you go to hell!
[Baby blue (Lv4)]: ...
[Qingchuan (Lv3)]: I vomited
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Wait a minute! Everyone, listen to me first, all three of us are alive.
[Big Bell (Lv3)]: Yes, it wasn't us who died, it was the murderer.
[Little Bear Snail Rice Noodles (Lv3)]: ???
[Autonomous person (Lv4)]:?
[Bai Ze (Lv3)]: You guys killed Cx330? Oh my god!
[TUES (Lv3)]: Is this true?!
[Li Wu (Lv3)]: What happened? You guys killed Cx330?! I'm not dreaming, am I?
[Flame Demon (Lv4)]: ...I'm overthinking it.
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Everyone, stop for a moment, don't speak yet, I have important news to report!
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Let me make it clear first, I am not speaking under threat, @(Flame Demon) @(Big Bell) can prove it to me. The real murderer is not Cx330. The three of us were caught by Boss 330 before, but she did not hurt us. Then we reached a plan, which was to use "S-level magical skills" to lure the real murderer, because the boss analyzed to us that the murderer was likely going for the magical skills. So we deliberately said that she had three magical skills. If one magical skill of that top player caused a fatal disaster, then the three magical skills would definitely have a fatal attraction. So the boss reported the coordinates on the world channel, and made inflated speeches, all in order to buy loopholes and lure the murderer. Then the murderer really appeared, and his attack method was exactly the same as described by Huben's brother. He used lightning as a means of attack and had the skill of space teleportation. The most indicative evidence was that he blurted out the nickname of that top player.
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: Let me explain the settings of this game. Many people may have noticed this. The system will erase all information about the dead player, just like the information was forcibly deleted. We will forget his name and nickname completely. We ordinary people will only remember the two code names of player public enemy and top player, but the person who did it will not be erased by the system.
…
Tao Sai lay flat in the mud. Her raincoat effectively isolated the mud and water from her clothes. She looked at the water column pouring down from the dark sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really exhausted. The continuous opening of illusions had drained the invisible energy tank in her body.
The subtitles that popped up in front of my eyes mixed with the rain.
【You killed the player [Minghao]. 】
[You have gained 41 attribute points (can be freely allocated).]
[You have acquired the skill [Thunder·Level A]: After equipping this skill, you can control lightning and deal a critical blow to the target. The power is related to the level of energy stored.]
[You have acquired the skill [Space Warp - Level A]: After using this skill, you can open a wormhole and warp to any coordinate within the range, with a warp range of 500 kilometers.]
[You have acquired the skill [Emotional Desensitization - D-Rank]: After equipping this skill, you can remain unaffected by your emotions and maintain a cheerful mood.]
Tao Sai was particularly interested in the D-level skill [Emotional Desensitization]. After reading the introduction carefully, she suddenly understood it.
Her initial plan was to torture him in the illusion to break him down. But she was puzzled as to how he could break free after she had already driven him to the point of emotional collapse.
From this, it seems that this skill has played a magical role in preventing him from being disturbed by his emotions.
At that time, Gao Shuai trapped her with wave after wave of illusions, and even she herself was driven to lose control of her mentality. The illusions were really disgusting, but this [emotional desensitization] seemed to be able to restrain the illusions to a certain extent.
All in all, the real murderer was killed and she was finally cleared of suspicion.
wrong.
A sudden flash of inspiration came to Tao Sai's mind, and the joy on his face disappeared.
She had snatched three skills from Minghao, but no S-rank skills. It wasn't that he had uninstalled them midway, but rather that he had never used them from the beginning to the end, not even in the most desperate situations, he had never used them on himself. This was bizarre.
Is it because the S-level magical skill he snatched from the top player is a growth-type skill like her [Collapse]?
No, she still remembered what the other members of Huben said on the world channel. They said that after the top players used their magical skills, they directly turned the insect swarm into powder, and the effect was terrifying.
So why didn't he equip the divine skills? Did he give them to his first mate or another character on the refugee ship? Or did he want her to not seize the divine skills and uninstalled them before he died? No, if that were the case, he would have uninstalled all his skills, because two A-rank skills are also very rare.
Tao Sai decided to keep this doubt in mind and put it aside for the time being.
She turned on the world channel to see the current trend of public opinion.
The player "Blue Knight" explained the whole story, and players "Big Bell" and "Flame Demon" corroborated the story. After the truth was revealed, the current world channel was filled with ghosts and wolves howling.
Countless players tagged her and Hailou. Players who had confidently called Tao Sai a murderer were slapped in the face and then lined up to apologize. A small number of players, seeking publicity, stubbornly claimed that the three players were controlled by Tao Sai's mental abilities, but were quickly surrounded and forced to shut down their microphones. Many kind-hearted players, believing that 330 and Hailou had endured a lot of criticism and injustice in recent days, offered them both emotional and material compensation.
Tao Sai didn't care about it, just as she didn't care much about the overwhelming abuse at that time.
She paid close attention to the movements of Jiange, and just as she expected, there were only 9 members left in Jiange, and the player "Minghao" was confirmed to be the Jiange member "Feizhou".
It is unknown what role the Jiange Alliance played in this whole thing, but she would never let them go so easily, she holds a grudge.
Tao Sai got up from the ground. The water in his hood flowed down his shoulders and into his whole body, making him feel cold all over.
This matter can finally come to an end. Tao Sai does not plan to return to the port dock. The matter there has been resolved. She did not tie a knot when she tied them up, so they will break free and leave by themselves.
The [Space Jump] skill is activated, Tao Sai sets the coordinates to "Deep Sea Fish" and prepares to return.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a breathing sound, and her expression instantly tensed.
Minghao's player information had been wiped out by the system, completely gone. It couldn't be him. But how could someone be here in this desolate wilderness, in such severe typhoon weather?
Tao Sai looked around cautiously, keeping her eyes and ears open, not missing any movement. After a few minutes, she confirmed that there was no unusual movement around her, and she thought she must have been hallucinating.
But as soon as I relaxed, my breathing started again.
The howling of the wind could not cover up the breathing sound, which was like breathing in sleep, slow and long, sometimes near, sometimes far away. For a moment, she even felt as if the breathing sound came from her body.
