On a rainy night, a figure holding a white and yellow umbrella slowly approached.
He was dressed in a magnificent robe, like a missionary from an ancient court. The robe trailed on the dirty ground in the rainy night, yet it was not stained at all.
Looking at his face alone, it's hard to tell his gender. The aura he exudes gives people a feeling of inviolability, and they don't even dare to look him in the eye!
He stopped behind Bates.
Bates did not turn around.
"You shouldn't be here."
A voice with a hint of authority rang out, but Bates simply chuckled softly: "What are you saying? Shouldn't you also be here in the first place?"
"Someone should have warned you not to enter the same world as the 'Fallen Gods,' especially since this is my world."
"Just for something this trivial, you, a figure of such importance, have personally shown up?" Bates turned around. "Don't you think this makes a bit of a fuss, Your Holiness the Pope?"
Bates suddenly clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Have these few strolls made you forget your place?" The Pope remained expressionless. "I wouldn't mind throwing you back right now."
"Don't... I haven't had enough fun yet." Bates wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth without a care. "Besides, aren't you the ones who need my 'miracle' to help you find the 'Fallen God'? If you just throw me back like this, I'm afraid the rest of you won't agree, will you?"
“This is not a reason for you to cross the line. I’m just giving you some advice. You’d better listen to me.”
“Yes, yes, you’re right—” Bates was soaked to the bone by the rain. “I’ve heard this too many times. You don’t need to repeat it. I’m just a pawn. Anyone can come up and manipulate me!”
The Pope fell silent.
"Don't worry, I'm just a bit bored, so I came out to find something to do. Let me have a good game with Jiang Ran. I won't kill him—well, it seems I can't kill him anyway, right?"
"Your Holiness, you must have faith in the people you approve of!"
"You can shut up now." [The Pope] interrupted Bates at the right moment. "I hope it's as you say. I'm keeping an eye on things here, so don't do anything that won't do you any good."
“You can rest assured!” Bates gave a gentlemanly bow, his wet hair obscuring half his face, so no one could see his expression. “I will be an obedient pawn.”
When I looked up again, the figure in front of me had already disappeared.
Bates brushed her hair aside and walked toward the store with the black signboard as if nothing had happened.
The live stream of the Iron Blood Kingdom, which had been cut off, was restored to normal.
Upon entering the shop, Jiang Ran purchased a weapon and left. The world wouldn't stop progressing just because of the rain. Compared to clearing the game, whether or not to avoid the rain was irrelevant. After obtaining the appropriate weapon, Jiang Ran left the shop immediately.
Bates shook the water off his hair and took a submachine gun from the shelf.
Jiang Ran and Gwen ran through the rain. The terrifying night had only just begun. Only occasionally could one see a corpse on the ground. If it continued for a while, there would probably be rivers of blood.
The watch's gleam was so bright that the numbers on it became even more dazzling. Jiang Ran tore off a piece of black cloth to wrap the watch. Hunters always need to camouflage themselves to avoid scaring away their prey.
"who?!"
As Jiang Ran turned the corner, he drew his pistol and aimed it at the figure that suddenly darted out!
The person in charge was wearing a raccoon mask, and he also had a piece of cloth wrapped around his wrist to cover the numbers on his watch. This could be a disguise to hide his incompetence, or it could be the last struggle of the weak.
Upon seeing Jiang Ran, the Tanuki manager was visibly flustered. He remembered that Jiang Ran had completed several games in this area, so Jiang Ran definitely had a lot of Paradise Coins!
And that gun! Although it costs 1000 Paradise Coins, it is a genuine weapon capable of killing strange creatures, and the bullets inside can be used indefinitely with the power of the rules!
The side with more Paradise Coins can kill the side with fewer Paradise Coins without limit. But what if the side with fewer Paradise Coins kills the side with more Paradise Coins?
"Little Gwen! Go and pull that piece of cloth off his hand!"
Sometimes playing it safe isn't a bad thing. Fear and hesitation might just be a hunter's disguise. Only after confirming the true amount of Paradise Coins this guy has will Jiang Ran decide whether to make a move!
OK!
"Wait, wait, wait!" The raccoon manager hurriedly waved his hand. "You're a tourist, right?! That's why you were able to get that gun. How about we make a deal? Wait! Hold on!"
Jiang Ran didn't speak, and Gwen didn't stop what she was doing. The raccoon leader tried to resist, but Gwen subdued him in a few moves, and the already torn cloth was ripped off!
2900.
The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at him, and the Tanuki leader immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Great God! Please spare me!"
Give me a reason to let you go.
"I can pay you 2000 Paradise Coins!"
“Killing you will get me 2900 Paradise Coins.” Jiang Ran’s eyes darkened. “If you’re wasting my time, then I won’t waste any more!”
"No, no, no! I can also tell you how many amusement park coins the other guys have! I even know where some of the best spots in the amusement park are! You'll definitely be interested in what's inside!"
"If you'd like, I'll transfer 2000 Paradise Coins to you right now!"
“Not for now.” Jiang Ran put away his pistol and smiled maliciously. “Before you transfer 2,000 Paradise Coins to me, just walk around the streets like this. Oh, and don’t block your watch.”
The raccoon leader had a long face; if it weren't for the mask covering his eyes, it would be hard to imagine how terrible his expression would be.
He knew what Jiang Ran wanted to do; he simply wanted him to be the bait. This job was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. He only had 2,900 amusement park coins, and there were quite a few people in this amusement park who could kill him!
"I...you can't do that! My life doesn't matter, but if I die, who will take you to those places?"
"Stop talking nonsense. You already know this, so I can easily find out by calling a few other people. If you don't want to, I might as well find someone else. I'll take your 2900 Paradise Coins for now!"
"No, no, no! I'm willing! I'm willing, isn't that enough?"
The raccoon leader secretly thought he was incredibly unlucky to have met Jiang Ran, but meeting Jiang Ran was also a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, as the others would not have spared his life.
