Chapter 42: A Nightmare at the Hotel[19]



Players who can survive in the KB game world all have one characteristic: "never give up."

Even if I am in a desperate situation, I will never lie down and wait for death.

It was as if at this moment, even though the opponent's weapon was right in front of him and he knew he was no match for the opponent, Shi Rukui still raised his hand and held the stick to block.

The opponent's baseball bat hit his long stick, and Shi Rukui felt the hunchback boy's hand tremble noticeably.

The boy's strength was obviously weakened.

In a moment of stunned silence, a dark shadow fell from the ceiling. Shi Rukui exerted his strength, deflecting the boy's baseball bat, and the shadow crashed directly to the floor between them. Looking closely, he discovered that the shadow was also wrapped in a faint red glow.

When Lu Cai landed, he turned his body and landed on both feet, so he didn't fall flat on his face.

The bandage on her arm was stained red with blood, and her body also smelled of blood, mixed with a stench of decay. Her eyes were sharp and murderous.

"Lu Cai, be careful!" Yue Xiaoyan screamed from the side. She regretted not having enough hymns to recite when needed. In this emergency situation, the few hymns she remembered were too late.

"Blessing" can be used, but it's too late! "Blessing" has a buffer time, and by the time it falls on Lu Cai, the stick will have already fallen!

Seeing the hunchbacked boy decisively ignore him, Shi Rukui knew that Lu Cai was in danger.

When Lu Cai fell from Shi Rukui's sight just now, the stench of blood hit her nose, which showed that she was badly injured.

The young man went towards Lu Cai with the hammer, and Shi Rukui did not hesitate to stop him.

Unfortunately, it’s too late——

For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Then, a flash of red light appeared.

It was as if millions of sharp arrows were shooting in all directions. Shi Rukui was blinded by the light. He stopped and raised his hands to block the light.

He closed his eyes and the sounds in his ears became clearer. He heard the rustling of the wind, followed by the sound of someone kicking, and finally someone fell heavily to the ground.

And his nervousness and worry also subsided steadily.

I should have thought of it earlier. It’s better to worry about myself than Lu Cai.

Shi Rukui slowly opened his eyes. The red light had disappeared, and only the dim long-tube light was flickering.

A gust of wind blew by, and the girl's excited figure rushed towards Lu Cai.

"Lu Cai——"

As soon as Lu Cai stood firm, he was frightened by a figure rushing towards him.

I don't know what happened. Lu Cai originally thought Yue Xiaoyan was aloof and difficult to get along with, but who knew she would be so friendly and approachable. Although they got along well, Yue Xiaoyan seemed to be particularly enthusiastic towards him...

"You...be careful!" Lu Cai took two steps back.

Perhaps because she could see Lu Cai's refusal, Yue Xiaoyan did not really rush over.

She was only a little excited. Yue Xiaoyan sighed inwardly. In her eyes, Lu Cai was a reliable figure. He had a good temper, a good personality, high combat power, and a strong sense of responsibility!

It's not bad to follow this thigh through life and death——

Although Yue Xiaoyan has not been in KB Games for a long time, she has also witnessed many tests of human nature.

Free from the constraints of the laws of the real world, many players have indulged in human greed. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and you can only speak if you are strong enough.

Even within the community areas controlled by KB Games' management, there's no guarantee of safety. The management only cares about whether store owners can submit industry points, but never protects the rights of players.

Therefore, those who can stay in the community and develop industries have basically been on the list of masters and are big guys who should not be messed with.

Yue Xiaoyan once saw a milk tea shop owner beat a troublesome customer so badly that even his own mother couldn't recognize him.

Even a weak villain might keep their head down in the community, but in the dungeon world, things are completely different. Players' items are their advantage, and even without special abilities, they can still call the shots in most dungeons.

And those players who are still sticking to their bottom line and fighting against the game consciousness...most of them are also mindful of other people's business. Except for friends they know each other, they will not help strangers.

After all, being stabbed in the back is common sense.

But Lu Cai was different. She had a fierceness, yet also an almost innocent kindness. She would help strangers in the same dungeon, and would even go so far as to help an NPC.

You could say she's a novice player who hasn't experienced the hardships of the gaming world, but her strength is so strong that it makes people believe that even if she treats others with kindness, she won't suffer any loss.

Because it is a world where strength determines who is superior, others can only follow her rules.

Yue Xiaoyan wanted to follow Lu Cai's rules.

What a KB game world! What a jungle law of survival of the fittest! Why can't there be another rule?

She felt that perhaps Lu Cai was another rule.

Seeing Yue Xiaoyan stop, Lu Cai said, "I really stink..."

Yue Xiaoyan wrinkled her nose. Indeed, it smelled like rotten meat.

Lu Cai turned his gaze to look at the hunchbacked boy lying motionless on the ground, trapped by the red light.

Her super powers were restored when she was fighting against that group of ghosts, and after killing them, her super powers showed a slight tendency to improve.

At that time, she shot the doll's head in half with one shot, then fired a few more times, fearing the little creature would use some tricks on her. Even after the voodoo doll was dealt with, without the protection of supernatural powers, Lu Cai still suffered considerable injuries from the close combat with the other ghosts.

Finally, when she lost too much blood and felt dizzy and almost fainted, the supernatural energy in her body seemed to be stimulated and burst out all at once, and she barely defeated the group of monsters.

Shi Rukui also came closer: "Who is he?"

"I don't know." Lu Cai squatted in front of the boy.

The boy's long hair on his forehead was much looser, revealing one eye. He was staring at Lu Cai with resentment, and blood was smeared on his face.

"Did you kill those people?" Lu Cai asked him.

The young man was still waiting for Lu Cai, without any emotion.

Lu Cai guessed that the foggy corridor he had been trapped in was the boy's forbidden area of ​​obsession. Trapped inside was his most obsessive hatred, which might even be the reason why he stayed there.

"Ms. Yan, that man, the manager, the security guard, and the cook." Lu Cai looked thoughtful. "I understand you want these people dead. After all, they are so heartless..." Her eyes turned, "But you didn't even let that woman go."

She was referring to the little girl's mother, the woman who went mad and jumped off the building and died.

Lu Cai lowered his head, his chin-length hair covering his cheeks.

"You know Ling Xiaoxiao—" The woman's mistake might not just be turning a blind eye. "That woman was the tenant Ling Xiaoxiao asked for help. Did she refuse to save her, or did she betray the fleeing Ling Xiaoxiao?"

The boy's eyes turned vicious and cold.

Lu Cai touched his nose and said, "It seems to be the latter—"

"Ah——" The scream was so far away that it startled everyone.

The hunchbacked boy struggled violently.

It's a small voice!

"Do you know the way?" The boy lowered his head and met the indifferent gaze of the short-haired girl.

Lu Cai stretched out his hand: "Save Xiaoxiao, or break up with us, it's up to you—"

"Lu Cai, will this—" Shi Rukui didn't finish his words, and the red light of the confinement had already faded, "—too dangerous..."

The hunchbacked boy quickly got up and limped in one direction.

"Follow me!" Lu Cai also raised his foot to chase.

Yue Xiaoyan did not hesitate and followed Lu Cai in a run, with Shi Rukui following at the end.

After running for a while, there was another scream, and the sound was not far away.

Cai Lu saw the young man not far ahead stop and he grabbed the baseball bat.

She stopped and saw the boy swinging the stick at the wall.

"What...what is he doing?" Yue Xiaoyan suddenly stopped and asked, panting.

"Save people." Lu Cai frowned. She watched as the boy's arms trembled and blood flowed out from his forehead every time he hit the stone wall.

When he had just fought with the young man, he found that his strength was not as good as before. Lu Cai suspected that the ghosts in the foggy corridor were also created by his original power.

Now it seems that not only the foggy corridor, but the entire maze is closely related to the hunchbacked boy.

The wall was cracked, but the bricks were not broken.

Lu Cai clenched his fist and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

The young man paused for a moment, and then he saw the girl in the black T-shirt rushing up, clenching her fists and hammering hard on the wall he had hit.

Boom!

With a resounding thud, Lu Cai's fist punched through the stone wall. She pulled her hand back, and light leaked through the hole in the wall. Through the hole, Lu Cai could see the lobby. They were currently on the second floor, probably to the left of the reception desk.

There was no one sitting at the front desk, the door to the lounge was tightly closed, and shouting came from the lounge.

"Fuck!" Lu Cai couldn't hold back his curse words and kicked the wall.

She kicked a few times, creating a big hole, and the hunchbacked boy beside her vomited blood.

Lu Cai ignored him and leaped down from the second floor. A bright red light flashed before her eyes. She landed steadily, stood up, and rushed towards the front desk lounge.

Yue Xiaoyan and Shi Rukui, who were following closely behind, stood by the cave and saw Lu Cai kick open the door of the lounge.

Shi Rukui took out a coil of rope and threw it into the air. One end of the rope was fixed in mid-air, and the rope fell vertically to the floor of the hall.

"You go down first." Shi Rukui moved aside to block the hunchbacked boy on the side.

Yue Xiaoyan did not refuse and slid down by grabbing the rope.

The hunchbacked boy just stood there in a daze, staring at the door of the lounge without moving.

Shi Rukui pulled the rope down to the hall, collected the rope, and followed Yue Xiaoyan into the lounge.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Lu Cai sneer: "You are the bitch!"

A disheveled young man was being held against the wall by Lu Cai, who was holding his neck with one hand. Meanwhile, a young girl desperately clutched her coat to cover her body.

"Just now he called Lu Cai 'wife'——" Yue Xiaoyan turned her head and explained to Shi Rukui in a low voice.

Shi Rukui immediately realized: "Lu Cai's corresponding role is the headless ghost's wife?"

Yue Xiaoyan was stunned: "The headless ghost has a wife?"

"Yes, it's her! She, she... seduced..." The man felt the hand on his neck getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't even speak.

"Mother......"

The little girl's weak and extremely worried voice came from the door, and everyone looked towards the door.

The little girl at the door was delicate and delicate, her eyes like a frightened deer, her face filled with fear. She clutched the doll tightly in her arms, staring at Lu Cai, who was strangling the man, her eyes red and swollen, as if she was about to cry out.

Lu Cai was also confused. She looked at the little girl outside the door and the doll in the little girl's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim "Fuck".

She released the man's neck, and he breathed heavily. Then he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and was kicked hard and fell to the ground.

Judge Lu's voice was so cold it made people tremble: "We can also have a trial."

The author has something to say:

Everyone knew that they would be stabbed in the back, but Lin Yong didn't know.
