Chapter 52: Enchanted Sicily (5) Viper, Emperor Verde...
"Of course, we have to wait for those people from the Estornia family to come out..."
As soon as the words fell, the player saw several figures appear in the open space accompanied by a cloud of fog, and then several muffled sounds were heard - it was Reborn taking action!
The bullets, with a firing rate of less than 0.05 seconds, mercilessly pierced their hearts with the help of silencers.
Those members were holding weapons and didn't even realize the danger when they died. There was a relaxed smile on their faces, as if they thought that this patrol was an unnecessary procedure.
Player: Wow, it’s prediction!
"Something's wrong. Something unexpected has happened." After swiftly killing a few minions, Reborn frowned slightly. "Why would someone from the Estoria family come out at this time?"
Intelligence leaked? He thought subconsciously.
Player: Huh? Not a prediction?
After discovering that the informant he was supposed to be in contact with was currently unavailable, Reborn's experience had given him a decisive moment. Aurora's expression of bewilderment only worsened his mood.
"Since we've been exposed," Reborn said coldly, "there's no need to hide. Let's just go in."
[What a terrifying speed! If it were this speed, she wouldn't have lasted more than three minutes.]
The player's body moved automatically following the instructions, and it was not until he entered the underground factory that he came to his senses.
This is just... so cool!
Staring intently at the NPC in front of him, the player praised him with the utmost sincerity, "Mr. Reborn was so cool just now! What an amazing move!"
So, coach, can players learn such cool moves?
"You're actually thinking about this at this moment. I have to say that your audacity is enough to impress me."
Reborn's dark eyes glanced at the innocent black-haired girl, and his voice was colder than winter ice. "If you continue to be so unguarded, you might as well go on a trip to the Sanzu River."
It would be much faster for me to give her a quick death than for anyone else to do it.
[Eh! Horrible!]
The player suddenly shuddered and felt a chill.
After a good blow, you naturally have to give a sweet reward. Reborn is well aware of how to deal with fools who easily climb up the ladder. He held the suitcase filled with various weapons firmly and said leisurely, "However, if after dealing with this matter, you still feel like this..."
"Don't worry!" The player, feeling the NPC had already promised her, was now full of fighting spirit. "Go to the center and get the secret information of the Estornia family, right? I've memorized it all. Just wait and see!"
The player skillfully handed the communication tool to the black-haired killer and walked in the opposite direction of the killer according to the instructions on the map.
In the early years, the Estornia family was a mediocre family, almost an unknown family in the other world.
But in recent years, because the leader has invested in the field of drug research and development at all costs and achieved considerable success, the Astonia family has accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time and also attracted many powerful members to join. Now it has become a medium-sized mafia family of considerable size.
Recalling the contents of the document that Reborn had shown him, the player kept moving his feet.
The underground weapons processing plant where the two are now seems to have been built in the year when the Estornia family began to show itself to the public, and everyone knows its main purpose.
I can only say that it is worthy of being a Vongola. The Estoria family built this processing plant underground. It must be very secretive, but it was still found by Vongola's spies - the information they provided was so clear that they almost told you where their underwear was.
The player put that little bit of anomaly behind him and continued to move forward according to the route on the map.
Go straight, turn left, turn right, turn left, go straight——
Walking to an open space again, the player finally realized something was wrong.
What's missing...
Oh right! There's no one! The player has been gone for seven or eight minutes and hasn't met a single person.
Didn't they say it was exposed? How come there's no one here?
The player finally realized something was wrong, holding the sword in his right hand, and began to look around.
"I thought you'd be able to sense something was amiss from the start." A slow, mocking voice came from overhead. "It seems the legendary mercenaries who never kill aren't as formidable as they say."
"Someone actually spent so much money just to get your eyes. How generous of them!"
The man with the hood covering almost his entire face said to the black-haired woman who was looking around on the ground, "Your bounty in the other world is quite high. You are really worth a lot, Aurora."
"So that feeling just now wasn't an illusion..., Illusionist?" The player's gaze fixed on a certain point in the air, and he tilted his head and asked, "Who are you? Tell me your name."
Huh? Looks familiar!
"Is that you?" The player pointed at the hooded figure and said, "The guard who stood next to that skinny old man at the last banquet."
"Tsk, I'm the freeman Viper, don't call me a guard." The hooded man, also known as Viper, snorted in dissatisfaction. "That kind of guarding is only a temporary job. Once the final payment is paid in one lump sum, it will be fine."
"Don't count me with that kind of guy. He's not good enough for me to do that."
Viper said he couldn't accept a client who paid little but was busy.
The players stared at the hooded figure with dead eyes: What on earth is he so proud of? Who is Viper? Never heard of him?
"What? You don't even know my name after hanging around in the other world?" Viper didn't believe it.
Huh? The player was stunned—did she speak her mind?
"Hehe." The player smiled emotionlessly, all skill, and bowed in apology, "Sorry, guard brother."
Isn't this completely inconsiderate?!
"If you don't want the mouth, I can tear it off for you. I already said, my name is Viper!" Viper attacked with an illusion, "I'm not a guard!"
[Name: Viper
Age: ? years old (?)
Special Ability: Death Flame (Possessor of Mist Flame)
Favorite food: Free food
Faction: None
Interests: Money, money, small amounts of money
Note: A famous psychic and illusionist, with an unpredictable personality but a strong will to admit defeat. He has his own pride and dislikes powerful humanoid fighters. He has a special liking for money, and feeding them treasure may generate special attacks.
"Wow, so brutal!" The player dodged the extremely realistic sword light illusion, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy. Even though his eyes could tell it was fake, his body still wanted to dodge uncontrollably.
Is this the power of a top illusionist?
Looking at the realism of this illusion, this guy called Viper might really have some skills. These two moves are much stronger than those of the guy called Andrew last time.
What a pity, the natural nemesis is not just a casual saying... The player's eyes shone with golden light.
"Ask! Do you want to know why they want my eyes?" the player asked casually, easily dodging the attacks of the indigo tentacles formed from the snake's paper wrappings. "Whoever guesses the answer gets a free gem."
"Hmph." Viper was able to gain such a great reputation in the other world, so he was certainly not stupid. "I see, your eyes have special abilities, right?"
"Can you see through illusions?" Viper saw the player's eyes and confirmed his answer. "It seems I was right."
"Correct answer." The player kept his promise and threw a high-quality gem to him. The venomous snake was stunned and caught it subconsciously.
"Is it real?" Viper took a subconscious look and saw that the quality was indeed good and it seemed to be worth a lot of money.
"Didn't you think I'd keep my promise?" The player treated him like a moving target, pelting him with knives. "Well... isn't it time you explained your true intentions?"
"You have no intention of killing me at all?" said the player.
Even on the map you show a small yellow dot.
"Whatever you want to think, I just need your eyes." How could Viper possibly tell her that he, always seeking profit and avoiding harm, had been tricked by a damned client into ending up here? His ability only revealed his location, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Otherwise, given his personality, why would he come here at this critical moment? Damn it, I'll go find trouble with that guy when I get back!
"In that case..." The player took a deep breath and shouted to the super mini communicator, "Mr. Reborn, help! There's a super scary illusionist here, and I can't defeat him!"
If you don’t hug someone’s thigh, you’re a big fool!
"What?" Viper was shocked. Is this the kind of personality Aurora has?
That bug is a communication tool?
Is that Reborn on the other end of the communication line? The Reborn known as the world's greatest assassin?
Although we did see them attending a banquet together last time, is their relationship really that close?
Not really, right? Viper thought, but remembering what he had seen at the last party… he wasn’t so sure anymore.
Fortunately, the development of the story was somewhat in line with his wishes.
"I'm busy. Figure it out on your own." Gunfire continued from the other side of the Super Mini Communication Bug. Reborn's voice was gloomy, scarier than a demon crawling out of hell. "Even I have to praise your ability to escape. If you can't win, then run. Do you still need me to teach you this, Aurora?"
Then, the Super Mini Communicator Bug could no longer hear any news - Reborn hung up the player's call for help!
Player: “…”
Viper: “…”
The two of them stared at each other, playing a game where whoever spoke first would be the loser.
A moment later——
"As long as I still have my eyes, I can easily see through your illusions. You can't do anything to me." The player made a cool sword flower and said to the venomous snake, "How about we both take a step back, neither side using special abilities, and just go into battle in person?"
"Mumu, who wants to fight you in the flesh?" Viper gritted his teeth, a faint blush appearing on his face beneath his hood, as if he was trying to hide something. His voice became much louder. "Sorcerers who know physical skills are all heretics! I'd have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to fight you in the flesh!"
"And your eyes aren't as powerful as you say, otherwise you wouldn't have failed to detect my illusion just now! You'd better just admit defeat!"
He was right. The players were a bit overwhelmed - the primary version of the Transparent Eye could only see through most illusions. If the illusionist himself was powerful enough, the role that the player's eyes could play would indeed be minimal.
However, it is better to lose the battle than the battle. No matter what, the power of the tongue must be brought into play.
"Mumu, this little brother is really difficult to deal with. He won't do this or that." The player stepped forward, the golden sword appearing even sharper under the shining white light. "Then let's see who's the winner!"
"Don't imitate me!" The venomous snake refused to give in. He raised his hand slightly, and indigo mist spread out from him. "Since you are so confident, come and give it a try! My illusion is the strongest!"
Mr. Viper, whose size can give players a lot of familiarity, is really serious!
The player looked at the illusion in front of him, which was obviously not on the same level as before.
There is no other way, I can only see if I can avoid it.
The player decisively stuffed down a plate of illusory tentacle sashimi and disappeared on the spot.
"What was that?" The Viper hadn't recovered from the sudden appearance of something by the woman when he saw her suddenly disappear from the spot. "Illusion? No, that's not right..."
Someone with special abilities? Viper thought, no wonder he was so confident in front of him, but...
"How naive! Do you think I can't find you like this?" Viper took out a piece of paper and used his special skill, "Paste and write--!"
Sticky writing, using snot to create maps and pinpoint the exact location of people or objects, is a unique skill possessed by the psychic Viper. While the scenes are somewhat awkward, this skill has always made Viper unstoppable in locating people and objects.
And this time, it will be no exception.
"Walk thirty meters east, twenty meters south... I found it, come out!" The viper casually attacked with a few tentacles and successfully knocked Aurora out.
"Is this even possible? This is simply cheating!"
A player who had been accidentally hit by a tentacle and lost over a dozen drops of health was covered in dust and looked incredulous. "How could these tentacles hit me? This should be a simple illusion, right?"
"Humph, illusion is a kind of magic that controls the five senses by manipulating the brain nerves."
The venomous snake floated in the air, looking down at Aurora, and spoke slowly, "The stronger the warlock's ability, the greater his control. Then, the things he conjures will be more real. Even if it seems to be just a small tentacle, the effects produced by different illusionists will be very different..."
"So... who do you think you are fighting against?" Viper's tone was full of arrogance that could not be concealed. Of course, as an illusionist who has always been ranked at the top, he has enough capital to look down on others.
"I'm the number one illusionist!"
Naturally, it is fundamentally different from those low-level illusionists!
"Tsk, a few tentacles mean you're the world's number one illusionist? I have no reason for you to be so proud." The player refused to believe it and quickly pulled out a ring and put it on. "Since you think warlocks who can perform physical magic are heretics, that proves that your true form is extremely fragile, and I..."
"Just find your true form!"
The flames instantly ignited, and the golden light shone brightly, forcing the surrounding indigo mist to retreat for a moment.
"What?! Flame of the Great Sky? How is this possible?" The venomous snake, forced to reveal its true form, looked incredulous. "How could you possibly do this?"
"Nothing is impossible. You're still refusing to reveal your true identity, floating around in the sky so leisurely. It's really annoying." The player pulled out two cards from his small bag and threw them out decisively, "Come down!"
[Prop Card - Flexible Love (One-time Edition): A one-time "love" from the Joker. Just a heads-up, the Joker loves the Big Apple~*~*]
[Prop Card - Insulating Glue (Disposable Version): This glue, which was originally an adhesive, has now gained the ability to insulate, effectively blocking any external influences on the object it's applied to.]
The venomous snake was caught off guard and was pulled from the sky by the player, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Wuhu." The player laughed mercilessly.
"...Damn woman." The fallen Viper was silent for a moment, then he supported himself with his hands, gritted his teeth and raised his head, saying, "Looks like I have to let you see my true abilities."
"You said the same thing just now." The player retorted.
"Shut up! Since Viper Phantom doesn't work on you, I'll try something else." Viper gradually stood up, raising his hands. "Although I haven't perfected this move yet, if it's just against you..."
That's enough!
The player didn't say anything, but just clenched his weapon and was on guard - this was the rhythm of the boss about to use his ultimate move.
"Let me show you my strongest move—Viper Phantom R!"
As the words fell, large and small black lines suddenly appeared on the player's body, and then countless blood spurted out, and the healthy blood bar was instantly cut by half.
"It hurts!" The player grimaced and took a sip of the red medicine, checked his health bar, and touched the wounds on his body. "Is this something that illusion can do?" It was the first time that the player looked so miserable.
"Viper Phantom R, though still an unfinished version, is the most profound secret I've grasped through decades of practice. It's currently the most promising." Viper spread an indigo mist across the entire venue. "It will form a specific constraint within your brain. Once that constraint is broken, it will cause severe damage to your body."
"Well, what then?" the player asked. "So what are your constraints on me?"
"Mumu, for the sake of that gem, I'll tell you for sure." Perhaps feeling that victory was within reach, Viper didn't hesitate to tell the player the answer directly, "If you lose confidence in your ability to win, you'll become just like you did just now!"
So that's how it is, the player suddenly realized.
"It's actually possible to control the brain's thoughts and produce corresponding effects. How terrifying." Under the Viper's silent gaze, the player took out another portion of food and poured it into his mouth. "Hmph, you've lost confidence in your ability to win, huh?"
"What a pity, I don't have anything like this!"
How could a player not have confidence in his ability to defeat the BOSS?
Spirit +5, Luck +5 within one hour after eating Creamy Matsutake Pasta, use!
"Let's see whether your strongest secret skill is stronger or my confidence is stronger!" With the super buff of all attributes +5, spirit +5, luck +5, and holding a weapon with strength +20, the player rushed forward again!
…
…
Damn this client! The money he gave me was totally disproportionate to my efforts. Viper cursed in his heart once again.
"Too difficult..." Under the hood, the purple inverted triangle mark on Viper's face expanded uncontrollably. "How could there be someone like Aurora..."
Brave, fearless, and 100% confident in her ability to win, almost none of my attempts to induce her were completely successful!
This couldn't go on any longer. If he continued like this, he would probably become the one who couldn't help but doubt his own abilities. He should be thankful that his ultimate move - Viper Phantom R - was still an unfinished version. Was there still room for evacuation?
Besides...
Viper looked into the distance - he could already sense a powerful force approaching, and it was not concealing its aura at all. If the stalemate continued like this, the outcome would definitely be something he didn't want to see.
"Tsk, you're lucky, Aurora." The snake's figure was hidden in the mist, and its voice became vague.
Unwilling to leave like this, Viper decisively attacked Aurora and took away several inconspicuous props from her.
Next time..., you won't be so lucky, Aurora...
The player, face covered in fog, finally managed to break free: "...Hey, where's that person? Just left like that? Not fighting anymore?"
That means the player wins...?
[You gained a lot of insights from the battle with the venomous snake, and your penetrating eyes have been upgraded.]
[System: Congratulations to the player for upgrading their Eye of Transparency from primary to intermediate level]
[You have gained a lot of insights from the battle with the venomous snake, and your experience points have increased.]
[System: Congratulations on reaching level 44]
Player:! This is such a surprise!
The player decisively clicked to view.
[Clear Eyes (Intermediate): Eyes that can see through falsehoods, the nemesis of most illusions]
The difference of one word makes a world of difference. The increase in level means that more illusions will be exposed to players.
"Hey hey." The player stood up, spun around, and said happily, "I've become a little stronger."
Anyone who has experienced it knows what it feels like to be strong!
"Where have you become stronger? Do you want to do a test with me? Aurora? And..." After Viper left, a voice suddenly appeared in the place where there should have been only one person. "Did you forget that there is something else to do?"
Hmm...it sounds like Brother Reborn's voice.
The player turned stiffly and looked towards the source of the voice - it was indeed him!
The player then remembered the important purpose of coming to this underground weapons processing factory!
"Oh no, mission!" The player was shocked!
**
Looking at Aurora's face full of sudden enlightenment, Reborn couldn't help but laugh, but that smile was too terrifying.
"It seems that even though your mind is full of thoughts about battle and food, some of my words to you are still there." Reborn stepped forward. "What did I say to you on the communication tool, huh? Girl?"
The bloody look on his face is really an eyesore.
"If you can't win, run away." The player pouted and danced, "But I won."
"Just a poisonous snake." The player put his hands on his hips and laughed towards the sky.
"Just be thankful you have these eyes." Reborn couldn't help but tap her forehead and explained with rare patience, "That's just because the venomous snake doesn't want to get entangled with you. That person is more than just an outstanding illusionist."
"He has superpowers, right?" Seeing Reborn's somewhat surprised look, the player continued, "He performed that snot-stitching trick in front of me. It's pretty good at finding things, but it has absolutely no offensive power."
After a pause, the player frowned and added, "It's also a bit disgusting."
Paste and write...find something...
Does Viper's superpower include this aspect?
Reborn thought for a moment and soon figured out the key.
"It seems the Viper simply wandered in by mistake and has nothing to do with the Estoria family's affairs. In that case..." The black-haired man, still wearing his top hat, elegantly wiped the remaining blood from his face and said to the still dissatisfied player, "Wipe the blood off your face, and let's continue on."
"He didn't come in by mistake." The player muttered softly. The guy's goal was to rush straight towards the player.
Hmm? Wait a minute...
"Wait, why are you leaving now?" The player's eyes widened. He quickly reached out to stop the man who was about to turn and walk away, asking, "Why did you come here so suddenly? And why didn't you continue on your route?"
"Of course, they've all been dealt with." Reborn turned around, seemingly unwilling to say more. "Those guys weren't worth my effort."
So the player should be the one taking action?
The player watched Reborn's figure go away - this killer with a lot of evil taste and sometimes a little bit cruel, was unexpectedly considerate in some aspects.
As expected of the Italian Mafia, so cool!
"What are you still standing there for?" Reborn stood in the shadows at the end of the road, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. "Hurry up and catch up."
"Oh...oh!" The player bit into a piece of food that replenished his health bar and hurried to catch up. "Wait for me, Mr. Reborn, you're walking too fast!"
People who are 1.9 meters tall should not bully people who are 1.6 meters tall, okay!
On the other side——
Having forcibly severed his connection with the ultimate skill of Viper·Phantom·R, Viper used illusion to patch up his body for a while, then angrily went to settle the score with his client.
Originally, the relationship between them was one of exchanging money for goods, so there was no need for Viper to have any contact with his client beyond the transaction.
However, the loss he suffered this time was too great, and he simply could not swallow this humiliation.
"Emperor Will! Look at what you've done!" After using sticky writing to find the other party's lair, Viper angrily yelled at the man across from him who was still concentrating on his research, "What kind of commission is this?"
"If you don't give me an explanation today..." Viper's tone became threatening.
"Don't be so hasty to trouble me, Viper." The man known as Wille turned around. He was wearing a white coat and round-framed glasses, with a confident and uninhibited smile on his face. "Haven't you completed my commission yet? I haven't paid the balance yet, have you?"
Viper: “…”
"Speaking of which, why do you want Aurora's eyes? Did you know she has special abilities?" Viper asked casually, "After all, before this, I didn't even know she was immune to most illusions."
The result almost caused him to flip over, Viper thought unhappily.
"You rely on your powerful illusion skills and are too confident in some aspects, Viper."
Welter clicked on the large screen and swiped his hand, finding the information he was looking for. "Not long ago, the Aurora and Andrea families clashed in a remote street far from the city center. The leader was none other than Andrew, the fog guardian of the Andrea family leader."
"And he had almost no power to fight back." Willdi's meaning was very clear. The main reason why Viper suffered such a big loss was because he did not collect good information. It had nothing to do with him.
"As for her eyes... I don't really care about Aurora's eyes." Willdi smiled even more arrogantly. "What I care about is her physical data. That's why I installed a physical data collection device in the thing I gave you last time."
"I entrusted you with this task because I wanted to use your help to develop Aurora's physical potential so that I could collect more comprehensive and real data. This is my purpose." As he said this, he spread his hands towards the snake.
What a mad scientist—
"Hmph, I don't care." The venomous snake snorted coldly, and conjured a chair to sit down. "Anyway, you have to pay me the balance."
"Of course I will pay." Weldi pushed up his glasses and looked off into the distance. "As long as you give me the body data device and the little bug I stole from Aurora, I can pay double the balance."
His instruments had detected something unexpected.
"How do you know I stole something?" Viper paused, questioning doubtfully, "Are you sure? This is no small amount."
You know, his price is very high. If Emperor Wei Er chooses to pay double the balance, the total amount will be worth at least four S-level missions.
"Do you think I'd lie about something that could be accomplished with just a small invention?" Weldi asked arrogantly, "I'm more interested in that bug than this."
Perhaps, compared with the physical data he has collected about Aurora so far, this communication worm that cannot be analyzed with current technology is his biggest gain.
Yes, after all, this man is a famous scientist on par with Ino Chitose and Kenneth, with countless invention patents. The number that would be unimaginable on other people's bodies is just a string of ordinary numbers to him, thought the Viper.
"I want three times the balance." The venomous snake lion opened his mouth and said, "I want three times the balance."
"Deal!" Wille agreed without hesitation.
"Mumu, then... the deal is done." Seeing that Willdi was so straightforward, Viper also agreed to the deal with him and handed over the super mini communication bug and weapons to Willdi.
Anyway, the communication bug is a hot potato in his hand. After all, on the other side of it is the terrible world's number one killer - Li Bao!
"Remember to make me a new weapon," Viper emphasized, "and it must be free!"
"Of course, of course..." Willdi was already immersed in his research and didn't care about the venomous snake at all.
Seeing that Willdi was so ecstatic and wanted to start researching the bug right away, Viper opened his mouth but ultimately did not reveal any extra information about Aurora.
Maybe it was to avenge the harm done to him by Emperor Weil, and he wanted him to suffer at the hands of Aurora as well.
**
The Estornia family's underground weapons processing factory——
The slow-witted player finally discovered the sad event of the loss of his super mini communication bug.
"Damn that Viper! He actually stole my Super Mini Communicator!" the player cried out in anger. "That's a rare worm, of which there are only two!"
A bug that doesn't need to eat or sleep, and is even super cute! If it runs out of battery, just take it for a stroll or two and it'll be back to normal use!
"Damn it! Woohoo!" The player's sadness turned into anger, and the golden flames jumped three feet high, almost turning the information in the archive room into ashes - if someone hadn't stopped him.
"Calm down." Reborn had a blank expression on his face. He held Aurora's shoulder with his left hand and opened the most recent document in the archives with his right hand.
The things in this place always gave him a bad feeling. He hoped it wasn't what he thought.
"I can't calm down!" The player was filled with grief and anger.
They are still too young, otherwise how could the players suffer this loss!
With a snap—
"If you can't calm down, let me help you." Reborn held the gun with an impatient expression.
"...Oh." The player, who had instantly become obedient, said softly, "I'm completely calm now. Please move the gun away from my head, Mr. Reborn. Thank you."
"Very good." Reborn put away his gun and handed over a stack of information. "Read this when you calm down."
What?
The player took it curiously and read it.
[May 15, sunny
Subject No. 1 was injected with Type A drug, and the symptom was vomiting. Type A drug only has an emetic effect, to be determined.]
[May 16, cloudy
Subject No. 1 was injected with Type B drug, resulting in a rash on the skin, which was diagnosed as an allergy. However, Subject No. 1's strength increased by two times, raising Subject No. 1 from E-level to D-level. Type B drug is now considered a candidate for research and development.
[May 17, light rain
Subject No. 1 was injected with Type C drug, and developed symptoms of gastric erosion and corrosion. After three days of treatment, Subject No. 1 died. The Type C drug contained a serious flaw and has been sealed. All personnel involved in the experiment have been demoted by half a level.
…
…
The player's pretentious expression disappeared instantly and he began to flip through the pages quickly.
The rest of the book is also terrible - there is Subject No. 2, Subject No. 3, Subject No. 4, Subject No. 5... and this is just one of the books the player received from Reborn.
"Human experiments..." The player suddenly had an idea and looked up as if he had thought of something. He said in shock, "Could it be that those special medicines produced by the Estornia family are...?!"
"Ah..." Reborn touched his hat. "It's possible."
"…Tsk." The player clenched the documents in his hand and gritted his teeth. Damn the game developer for designing such infuriating game content.
Complaints, players must complain vigorously!
"Damn it, let me go out and get some fresh air first." The player said something nonsense and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was stopped by Reborn again.
"Don't say those stupid things that are obviously unbelievable, Aurora." The black-haired killer was still so merciless. "This is a matter for the Vongola to deal with. You are not a Vongola member. Letting you get involved was an accident."
His eyes were heavy, without any extra emotion as he asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Even so," the player pursed his lips and replied firmly. "I will follow my inner voice and make the most authentic choice for myself."
This is what the mission requires, and this is what the players think too!
Until then…
"Mr. Reborn, how's your schedule lately?" The player gave him an embarrassed smile and leaned forward to ask, "Perhaps you'd like to take on a lucrative commission while completing your Vongola mission?"
"It is not advisable to inquire about the whereabouts of a killer, dear Aurora." Reborn knew without thinking who issued this commission. He leaned against the wall with his hands crossed, no longer as cold as before.
The black-haired killer watched the girl's lively and ever-changing expression with great interest, even teasing a slight smile. "But I'm in the mood right now, so I'll graciously forgive you this minor offense."
"Tell me about that commission."
-----------------------
Author's Note: My personal thoughts: Reborn is someone who admires potential but doesn't interfere with their growth, providing guidance at best. Therefore, he won't violate the player's no-killing policy. While the player considers themselves a "mafia," they are still free agents, not members of a clan. This, coupled with his gentlemanly behavior towards women, contributes to this situation.
As for Viper, also known as Mammon, his personality is unpredictable and he is extremely unwilling to admit defeat, but he also really values money and his own life. Therefore, he does not want to confront R. In addition, the client did not tell him a lot of information, which led to his lack of preparation and choosing a strategic retreat. I think it is quite possible, so I wrote it this way. As for his strongest ultimate move, it is currently an unfinished version, which is also a private setting. After all, if it is completed, it will be a life-and-death battle.
Regarding pets, pets are only available after becoming a Rainbow Child, so it is set that the Viper does not have the Ouroboros' attack method.
About the ring: It is set to be a ring that can guide the body's fire, which is circulated among the upper class and a very small number of people. It is quite secretive and rare, and is not as widespread as in later generations.
I hope it's not too ooc (covering my face)
Thank you all for your nutrient solution, landmines and comments. I originally only wrote 6,000 words, but after seeing the warm comments, I couldn't help but write more than 3,000 words ww. Thank you all, babies!
