The red light shot out rapidly, and the figure surrounded by black smoke below could not dodge in time. Several red lights pierced into its limbs and bones, and one of the red lights rushed directly to the burnt ghost on the side.
The two figures swayed and began to struggle.
Lu Cai fell to the ground suddenly. Because he had not prepared any action to reduce the impact of the fall, he landed almost with a loud bang, and directly created a shallow pit in the ground.
The two people behind him landed lightly, rolled over to stabilize their bodies, and the gray figure rushed out first.
Lu Cai's eyebrows twitched as he saw a flash of swords and sabers, and his face darkened.
"This guy is so fierce. Which copy did you find him in?" Zhao Yan didn't know whether he was asking her or muttering to himself.
If the black shadow was hacked to death on the spot, she would have doubted 666's purpose.
Even if they were difficult to deal with and were hit by her red silk, as long as they delayed for a while, they could control the opponent. Now they had to do more than just complete the dungeon mission.
What if after completing the dungeon mission, the player is still unable to leave the dungeon?
As it stands now, the invasion of black smoke into the game instance has reached an uncontrollable level.
At this time, 666, who was swinging the knife in front, stopped. The man was originally just covered in black smoke, but after being chopped down by 666, he completely lost his human form and turned into a ball of smoke again.
The smoke tried to escape, but was forced back by the long sword's blade, unable to move a single step. It felt the sharp, murderous aura of the blade before it, and wanted to flee, but dared not move.
Seeing that the black smoke was under control, Lu Cai's frown finally relaxed.
She stood up and ran towards the figure lying on the ground. Zhao Yan was a little faster than her and had already squatted down to help Yue Xiaoyan up.
"How is it?" Lu Cai could only ask Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan shook his head: "If only Lao Shi were here——"
Looking at Yue Xiaoyan's pale face, Lu Cai's heart darkened. Fortunately, the girl leaning on Zhao Yan's arm took a deep breath, mumbled a few words in a daze, and then opened her eyes weakly.
As soon as Yue Xiaoyan opened her eyes, she saw Lu Cai and the breath she had been holding in her breath completely relaxed.
"Don't talk, have a good rest." Lu Cai stopped her from speaking and looked at the evil ghost who had just been hit by a strand of red silk and had not gotten up since falling to the ground.
She just glanced past without stopping for long. In her opinion, this evil ghost was nothing to be afraid of.
When I walked outside the consultation desk, the black smoke that was originally jumping violently had calmed down.
666 stood on one side, guarding against a sudden attack from the black smoke.
"Who are you?" Lu Cai looked at the black smoke.
But the smoke on the other side didn't move at all, as if it didn't understand what she said.
"You can't speak?" Lu Cai raised his eyebrows, full of threat. "Or don't you understand what I'm saying?"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and couldn't help but sneer: "Wasn't he quite capable when he was pretending to be our companion? Why is he deaf and dumb now?"
A chill suddenly rose in the room.
The black smoke trembled imperceptibly, and a red data jumped out from the black smoke, and then pierced back into it, as if to intimidate it.
"We don't know what we are," the black smoke said, its voice indistinguishable from male or female. "We're just hungry."
Lu Cai raised his eyebrows. Judging from the tone, it seemed that it was feeling aggrieved?
"I'm hungry now too. How about I try to see what you taste like?" Lu Cai smiled and didn't say whether she believed what they said or not. She could see that these black smokes were somewhat cowardly.
The black smoke shuddered twice more. "We're not good to eat. We wander between the cracks in dungeons every day, like trash that others don't want—"
"Trash?" Lu Cai looked at the black smoke and immediately thought of his own identity. He didn't expect that he would meet someone of the same kind?
However, it was the first time she encountered someone calling her trash, and she still found it difficult to adapt.
Black Smoke's voice trembled. "We don't want this to happen either, but as a broken program, we can only be destroyed... The remaining forces that can't be destroyed can only survive in the cracks of the dungeon."
"Broken program?" Lu Cai pondered. "Who wants to destroy yours?"
Black Smoke: “…”
They were silent again, and this time Lu Cai sensed that they weren't intentionally avoiding the question. It was as if... they themselves didn't know?
Lu Cai was silent, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The black smoke in front of him moved tentatively, and the young man on the side swung his long sword, and the sword light pressed down, scaring the black smoke so much that it dared not move anymore.
Bang--
A gunshot was heard, and a thin smoke passed by before my eyes. A bullet hit the black smoke and did not fly out.
Lu Cai opened her eyes wide, reached out to grab 666, and quickly set up a barrier. In an instant, her eyes lit up, sparks flew, and she was shocked and stepped back quickly.
The black smoke was blown into pieces, and the remains were scattered everywhere before finally disappearing.
Lu Cai quickly turned around to see the bullet coming from a solid wall. Zhao Yan, standing not far behind him, protected the weakened Yue Xiaoyan. Fortunately, they were far enough away that they weren't affected.
666 put away his long knife and looked at her sideways with an innocent look.
Lu Cai said helplessly: "It has nothing to do with you. I didn't find anyone ambushing there."
After she finished speaking, her eyes darkened. If there were such things as assassinations? In this chaotic gaming world, what else could be done that needed to be hidden?
"Fuck!" Zhao Yan cursed, and Lu Cai hurried back to the consultation desk.
As she got closer, she understood what was happening. The demon who had fainted on the ground had his chest exploded, splattering dirty mucus all over the floor. Unlike the black smoke, his wound was covered with dense, fibrous red threads, forming a thick patch.
This evil ghost must have taken advantage of the unusual movement just now to do something, but was blown up by Lu Cai's supernatural energy filaments.
"Lu Cai!" Zhao Yan exclaimed.
Lu Cai also saw a line of text pop up above Zhao Yan and Yue Xiaoyan's heads:
The copy has been cleared and data is being transferred...
Is this the legendary "Novice Dungeon"? Lu Cai was shocked. He didn't even understand the background story of this dungeon!
She looked at Zhao Yan and saw the word "speechless" in his eyes.
But time didn't allow them to waste any more time talking. Seeing the scene slowly darken, Lu Cai raised his hand and grabbed 666, who was following closely beside him. They were not players, and who knew if they would be separated midway.
As expected, they fell into darkness, and only the tightly clenched wrist in her hand gave her a little peace of mind.
At least not alone.
The sinking continued, and this time, it took an unusually long time. Lu Cai frowned, sensing something strange.
She opened her eyes wide and looked around, but saw no light.
"666!" she shouted tentatively, her hands clenching involuntarily.
Lu Cai slowly shook his wrist, then remembered that 666 couldn't reply. After calming down, he raised his hand and released a strand of red silk, which formed a ball of red light.
Under the red light, she turned her head and saw 666, who was floating in the air beside her in the same backward posture as her. His face looked even whiter under the red light.
Seeing the unchanging indifference in his eyes, Lu Cai tried to analyze his data.
...Very good, still can't analyze it, it seems he has not been replaced.
Only then did he relax and began to look around in the darkness.
"Are we in a tight spot?" Lu Cai muttered to himself, "But there's no data fluctuation—"
She looked at it for a long time, then tilted her head and asked 666, "Can you split it in half with one knife?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Cai felt embarrassed, as if the most common thing he said to him after agreeing to be their partner was - Can I chop you with my sword?
Fortunately, 666 didn't seem to care about these things. His left wrist was pulled by Lu Cai. His left hand was holding the scabbard, and his right hand was holding the handle, slowly pulling it out.
The blade was illuminated by the red light, exuding a chilling aura. Finally, with a clang, the long sword was unsheathed. He raised his hand and slashed, sending a gust of fierce wind blasting towards him.
The two men swayed slightly, and after the blades chopped out, there was no movement.
After a while, 666 turned his head to look at Lu Cai. Lu Cai felt his gaze and knew what he meant when he tilted his head.
Can't split it.
Lu Cai could only look up and continue to discern the changes in the darkness.
If it really is a gap, perhaps we can take the opportunity to study the black smoke issue more thoroughly.
Black Smoke said they were abandoned programs, and Lu Cai felt the same way. If she were caught by the management, would she also be destroyed? Then, like the black smoke, she would blend into the darkness until she disappeared completely.
Maybe these black smokes are the NPCs that have awakened!
Black smoke is discarded energy, but it still exists and is even actively absorbing the energy of the copy world.
Does this mean that she can also use their energy? Feeling faintly excited, she continued to release her supernatural energy.
In the original copy, "Zheng Miao"'s ability is devouring. From this, it seems that he may also be related to these black smoke?
A wisp of black smoke peeked out and was discovered by the red data. Before it could dodge, it was suddenly swept up.
The black smoke couldn't struggle away, the red thread suddenly exerted force, the red tip continued to climb, tightly wrapping the black smoke.
Lu Cai frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on the red thread. The red thread was still climbing up at the speed of lightning. This thin wisp of black smoke was just the tip of the iceberg, and behind it was a huge thing -
She wanted to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this huge monster, and was continuing to climb up. The black smoke was trembling slightly, and there were signs of breaking!
They want to cut off their tails to survive! Lu Cai frowned, and a bead of sweat slid down his nose.
Just for this moment, she won't let them get away!
The red thread suddenly opened up and pounced in the direction where the black smoke was tearing away.
It was an endless darkness, like the boundless ocean, but only by being in it could one find the real way out.
The red thread searched for the trail, and the tip touched the wisp of black smoke, then stuck tightly and wrapped around it.
Don't give them a chance to react!
The mark on the wrist was extremely hot, and the heat seemed to burn throughout the body.
The red color expanded tenfold, a hundredfold, covering the vast darkness—
Caught——
Lu Cai smiled, a string of data struggling, red seeping in, dyeing the black into a blood red.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up and a strong light shone in front of me.
She heard a strange male voice say in a disappointed tone:
"No. CJZ0118, experiment failed, destroyed."
