Chapter 31 [Scene 15] "Balloon" / "Brother, I'll...
"That..." The voice of "Balloon" sounded behind him.
Hummingbird retracted his weapon, dusted himself off, and gestured to the person in front of him: "Who are you?"
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, but he quickly returned to the expression he had when he fell to the ground.
The boy propped himself up and stood up from the ground. "Hummingbird" noticed with his sharp eyes that his movements were not smooth.
"I'm 'Dai'. Should I have told you about 'Zhi'?" The boy who called himself "Dai" leaned against the wall.
The "hummingbird" turned to look at the "balloon" behind him, and when he saw her nod, he had to stop questioning the boy's identity.
Hummingbird yawned, changed the subject, and asked, "Where's the weaving?"
"She's safe now." Dai lifted his right sleeve, revealing a scarlet scar. "But, hiss... do you have any healing potions?"
"Hummingbird" looked at his white arms and was speechless.
You came on such an important mission without even bringing any recovery potions?
"Here, this is the only bottle." She made a soft "tsk" sound, and without looking back, she took out a bottle from her backpack and threw it over.
Dai was quite agile and took the potion smoothly.
He's actually a good partner, Hummingbird thought to himself, crossing his arms.
^
After the "leader" replied and introduced themselves to each other, the three of them quickly set out on their journey to leave the towers.
"Are you afraid of heights?"
Dai was leading the way, but suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "I remember the teleportation array in the tower group can't teleport downwards."
The boy's eyes were fixed on the "balloon" behind the "hummingbird", and his tone was very gentle.
The hummingbird glanced at the balloon in confusion, then said weakly, "Why don't you guys go first? I'm afraid of heights."
"Hey, how can we..." "Hummingbird" sneered.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another voice!
"Is that so?" Dai rolled his eyes and nodded, "That's fine."
"'Wei' should know the normal way to get out. You can wait for her here."
"Hey! She..." "Hummingbird" was about to refute the two people who seemed to have reached a consensus, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed!
"No, hey! Can you do it!?" She shouted at the girl who was getting farther and farther away from her and still waving.
Although she said it with disgust, she didn't want to leave her friend in such a dangerous place!
"Let go!!" "Hummingbird" grabbed "Dai's" arm with his other hand, trying to pull his hand away.
"Hmm!" The second after she touched the "belt", the "belt" groaned, "It hurts..."
"Do you think I don't know that your wound is painted?!"
"Hummingbird" took advantage of his weakness, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and with the other hand mercilessly tore off his sleeve that was still stuck to his arm!
The sound of buttons falling to the ground was heard!
The boy's face immediately wrinkled up, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.
But Hummingbird totally didn't believe that he was injured.
After all, from her observation of the boy's landing movements just now, no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for the boy to have a wound on his arm!
His strength was basically concentrated in his left hand, and his right hand was just there to balance his body. There were no large pieces of gravel that he couldn't dodge, so how could he get injured!
"Hummingbird" gently wiped the wound on the arm in her control with her fingers, and as expected, the bright red paint was completely wiped off.
All that remains is a long-healed...
【birthmark】.
"Okay, lie to me—"
"A Ling."
A hand wrapped around the body of the "hummingbird".
"A Ling."
Dai rested his head lightly on Hummingbird's shoulder and rubbed it uneasily.
One of his hands was raised high in the air, and the other was gently placed on the back of the "Hummingbird".
——It’s almost like dancing.
The "Hummingbird" was silent for a few seconds, then raised his right foot and hit the boy hard with his knee!
"You should stay here and reflect on yourself!"
She used the rope she had prepared in her backpack to tie the "belt" into a ball and threw it aside, then turned around and ran to where she and the "balloon" had parted ways.
"Aling, if your brother did something bad, would you kill him?"
The usual voice came from behind her.
…
"Hmm... let me think, if this one doesn't work, then let's call her Aling. How about Aling?"
"Aling? What does that mean?" The little girl sat on a wooden bench, savoring a popsicle.
"By the way, brother, when will mom and dad come back?"
The boy called "brother" was wearing a large vest that was obviously ill-fitting. He also put a large hat on his head and looked at his sister who had lost her parents at such a young age.
"A Ling, it means that you will be very smart and happy in the future."
The boy loves to study plants and flowers.
He likes things that are full of life and strange.
But in this high-tech age, everything he can see is cold and monotonous.
"By the way, brother," the girl finished her popsicle and handed it to the boy, "If you have this, can you always have delicious popsicles?"
"Do you like popsicles?" The boy took it and looked at the wood grain on the stick in a daze. "No, where did you find this?"
Then he remembered that nowadays popsicles all use those high-tech edible sticks.
How come this kind of wood is still circulating in the market?
"An old man gave it to me!" The girl began to gesture, and every stroke of her hand in the air became a solid entity.
"He has such an old, long beard, and such a gentle mouth!"
The boy was determined to find the old man and ask him clearly. He absolutely could not put his sister's safety where he could not reach.
^
"Humph, I don't need it."
The egg fried rice in the boy's hand was knocked over by the girl, and his dazed hands grasped at the air.
"What are you doing?" the girl glared at him. "Have you gone crazy from studying all that stuff? Just pack up and get out of here. I don't need any of your concern at all!"
Ever since she learned that her parents died because of the boy, their relationship has once again become tense.
The first time was because he didn't bring her popsicles as agreed.
The second time, it was because he was too engrossed in the holographic system and ignored her feelings.
The third time is now.
The boy knew that if it weren't for this family, they might never have had any contact in their lives with someone as talented and as numerous friends as the girl.
Moreover, he was...
"Tsk, never mind. Remember to bring me popsicles."
The girl's clear voice finally rang out in the room, which was so quiet that only the noisy movie sound could be heard.
The boy decided to give his sister more care and he would never let the relationship between him and his sister deteriorate again.
^
"A Ling?"
"...If you have something to say, just say it."
"I won a prize." The boy held a chip-like object in his hands behind his back. He stood at the girl's door and looked inside cautiously.
"Congratulations." The girl's voice was so cold that it froze the boy's body.
"This is my work, do you want to see it?" The boy tore off the competition label on it and handed it to the inside of the door.
He was used to being rejected, but as long as his sister was still willing to talk to him, he didn't care.
"Okay, go ahead."
The weight in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the boy was a little unbelievable. He whispered a reminder: "Remember to use the remote control."
The door was closed.
…
"You can try." Hummingbird sneered.
She would not be the one to judge her family, nor would she be the ultimate "law enforcer."
If it was her as a child, maybe she would say——
"Brother, I will go to hell in your place."
But for her now that she has grown up and has a healthy self, how can she say such words so easily?
^
The "hummingbird" quickly returned to the place where it had parted with the "balloon".
“…ran away?”
She searched around and only saw a few lines of small words carved on the wall with a sharp tool.
"I'm going to... the central government... to make an appointment... see you?" "Hummingbird" read in a very low voice, and the handwriting was blurry, but she could barely understand what the writer meant.
"How dare you go on such a dangerous journey alone... You're so stupid!" "Hummingbird" picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and wiped off all the traces on the wall.
"You're not on guard at all. I'd be able to tell the source of these scratches just by touching them..."
We've been in the high-tech age for so long, how come some people are still so primitive!
After Hummingbird cleaned up the marks on the wall, he ended the [Exchange] between the two people as she had instructed.
[Special Skill: Exchange] enters CD.
She recovered into her "balloon" shape at an extremely fast speed!
[Task Progress Update: The mission has been completed. Subsequent missions will be distributed to other members in the system! Rewards have been issued!]
[Ding Dong~ Your special skill: Exchange has been upgraded. Click here to view the details!]
"Done?" Balloon looked at the pop-up reminder with some shock. "He ran away on his own?"
The task just given to the three people was to retreat, and now it shows that the task is completed.
Doesn’t that mean that some people have already left the towers safely?
Excluding the "Hummingbird" that continues to move toward the center and the mysterious "Weaver," what remains is...
"Bang——"
[Tower system announcement: Enemy intrusion detected! Enemy intrusion detected! Defense shield activated! Please return to your position and resist the bombardment together!]
[World Announcement: Phase 2: Show Your Strength has temporarily come to an end.]
[We are now entering the even more intense third phase: setting the prairie on fire!]
[During Phase 2: Unleashing the Power, a total of 125,400 NPCs died, and 51 players used the revive function.]
[Among the three kingdoms, Kangsu has the highest completeness, at 79%, while Beisu has the lowest completeness, at 76%.]
[The story exploration level is 89%, and there are still hidden branches that players have not completed.]
[The third stage: Arrives with a prairie fire.]
[The power of the "evil forces" organization has further expanded, and the hidden secrets of the kingdom and the continent are about to be revealed to everyone.]
[The new gameplay PVP brawl is officially launched!]
[In the central towers and battlefields across the continent, players can present tokens and fight on behalf of their kingdom.]
[The victor will receive rich supplies and a certain amount of reputation, and restore a certain degree of kingdom integrity.]
[Please note!]
[Phase 3: The final battle will be the blaze. Players' contributions to the kingdom and their exploration of side plots will greatly influence the story's final outcome!]
Have fun everyone!
After reading the announcement, "Balloon" suddenly felt a flame ignite in his body. This was the overall buff brought by the stage: fierce battle!
Since the tower group has been selected as one of the sub-battlefields and is no longer a [restricted area], the information of players entering here will naturally no longer be hidden.
A row of game IDs slowly emerged above the "balloon" head——
“Lv.68 Kangsu Bell Roll is the best”
And her title, "The Bloodthirsty Predator."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: The dual perspective is over, and from now on it will all be from the heroine’s perspective!
As for the stories of "Belt" and "Ring Scroll", there is a high probability that they will be randomly dropped at some point in time after the end of this world (it will be a special story)!
