Chapter 30 [Scene 14] "Hummingbird" / So I Hope You...
[Mission Progress Tip: The Executor has successfully completed the "Hidden Member Identity" mission! He has also successfully met up with one of the main assistants! Please, main assistants, help the Executor escape safely!]
Balloon looked at the pop-up window in front of him, then at Hummingbird, who had apparently also received it, and said, "We're so useless."
"I've told you several times to stop talking!" Hummingbird seemed a little annoyed. "My ears hurt every time you talk now!"
"Oh." "Balloon" lowered its head timidly and stopped talking obediently.
The two had just walked around the middle tower and had not encountered any other towers. Their initial guess was that they had all been evacuated to other places.
So after this round, "Balloon" felt a little tired but didn't feel anything else.
...My heart always feels depressed and sometimes even hurts.
"Hey, why do you look unwell?"
The "hummingbird" was not as sharp-tongued as usual. Instead, it supported the wobbling "balloon" with concern.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
"Balloon" heard the distinct sound of his own heartbeat suddenly ringing in his chest, constantly circling in the empty room!
"Bang-bang-bang-bang"
Suddenly, a sound in sync with her heartbeat came from the direction of the central tower!
"Balloon" felt as if she was resonating with the entire tower complex. She could see each tower clearly and hear the beating sound every minute!
——And this feeling quickly disappeared.
"I'm fine." "Balloon" gently tried to push away the hands that were supporting him.
"It's okay, just walk faster!" Hummingbird glared at her, but his grip tightened. "Really? You're wasting time."
"Slow down, slow down." "Balloon" was a little weak, and "Hummingbird" flew so fast that she almost fell to the ground.
Hummingbird lifted her hand high, looked at the half-crouched, panting "Balloon," and said jokingly, "You call this okay? Besides, didn't I just tell you that the strategy for clearing the middle tower is to be fast?"
"Although that strategy has some minor issues, are you not listening to what I say now?"
The "Hummingbird" angrily shook off the "Balloon's" hand and said, "Who said I'd be so obedient? Is it a ghost?"
"Balloon" pretended to be scared, lowered his head and did not answer.
"Speak! Don't think I can do nothing if you don't speak!" The "Hummingbird" put his hands on his waist, clenched his fists and hit the "Balloon" on the back fiercely.
The "balloon" fell to the ground and said weakly to the ground: "Oops."
It was true that she had said before that she would be obedient, but how could she control his weak body?
A line of tears was left in the heart of "Balloon".
…
…
…
"Is this okay now?"
The "balloon" lay softly on the back of the "hummingbird", the soft part was the bones and the hard part was the skin and flesh.
She was forced to put her arms around the neck of "Hummingbird", and her head would hit the back of "Hummingbird" from time to time.
"..." Hummingbird ran and spoke slowly, "You should know what I am going to say?"
"W-what?"
As they were talking, their heads bumped into each other again!
"So stupid, so stupid, so stupid!" Hummingbird roared, and the echo echoed again and again in the circular room.
——"How stupid—how stupid—how stupid—!"
"Stupid—dead—stupid—dead—!"
“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh—”
————
"I know." "Balloon" answered in a low voice, and said that he would never hit the back of "Hummingbird"'s head again.
"Hurry up if you know!"
The speed of the "Hummingbird" did not decrease at all because of the conversation between the two.
- Complete the middle tower in under 10 minutes.
This was the strategy that Hummingbird had told him earlier.
Because it didn't want to waste time, the "balloon" ignored the "hummingbird" at first.
However, "Hummingbird" didn't seem happy about this, and she could only respond to "Hummingbird" intermittently.
"What are you doing quickly?" asked Balloon.
"...Put your head on my shoulder! Don't you know you look like a frog right now?" Hummingbird said, unable to bear it any longer. "Don't waste time!"
"I'm afraid of frogs."
"I don't need to know that!"
The "balloon" had no choice but to lean its head forward obediently.
The girl's bony shoulders were covered with layers of clothes, and they felt soft when leaned on, like a pillow.
But how did he know that her shoulder joints were distinct...?
Balloon shook his head slightly, feeling the weakness in his body slowly fading away.
^
"Time." The "Hummingbird" said in a light voice.
"One minute and eleven seconds."
"Then you better hold on to me tight. If you get thrown off, I won't come back to save you!" Hummingbird tightened his grip, "...and you'd better close your eyes again."
"59 seconds." The "balloon" did not respond to her and started counting the time again.
"Hummingbird" murmured a spell, and a breeze suddenly surrounded the two of them.
[Currently: A player has used the Enhanced Skills: Wind Leap and Light Leap!]
"50 seconds."
With the help of the wind, the "hummingbird"'s movements became visibly easier!
And it can be seen that she must have used this skill many times, otherwise she wouldn't be so proficient in it!
The "balloon" saw that the flag set up by the two people before was not far away!
"35 seconds."
In an environment without strong wind, the flag just hangs in place without fluttering.
"Twenty seconds."
The wind blew past the two of them, and the flag began to flutter in the wind!
Suddenly, dust billowed up in the room!
"It looks like the transmission is about to begin," Balloon whispered, "It's best not to rush too hard."
"Know--"
"Ten seconds."
"road--"
"Five seconds."
"Yes——"
"arrive."
“…………!”
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
[System prompt in the tower: The transmission channel from the middle tower to the inner tower has been opened!]
"Buzz—buzz—"
[System prompt in the tower: Transmission has ended!]
"Bang——"
"Hey, are you okay?" "Balloon" fell to the ground and saw "Hummingbird" that had crashed into the wall and was shedding dust. He tried hard to hold back his laughter and asked.
The "Hummingbird" supported itself on the wall beside it with both hands and pulled itself out.
She brushed off the dust on her clothes and frowned, "Why is it so dirty? There are only broken bricks and tiles, and this..."
"Bone residue?"
"Hummingbird" whispered the last two words, and the hand that was dusting the dust couldn't help but stop.
"Bone slag?" Balloon moved closer curiously, looking at the crumbly substance that Hummingbird was twisting between his fingers. "Is it real?"
She saw the Hummingbird pause for a moment, then spoke angrily, "I'm kidding! It's obviously fake! How could anyone believe it? You're so stupid."
"Okay." "Balloon" had to retract its head.
"By the way, send a message to 'Weaving' now and see if it gets delivered."
"Hummingbird" took out two bottles of recovery potion from his backpack and handed one to "Balloon".
"Balloon" took it but didn't drink it immediately.
[Chat with "Zhi"]
"hello?"
--"balloon"
"It's been sent." After sending the message, "Balloon" looked up at "Hummingbird" who was still dusting off the side.
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, Hummingbird breathed a sigh of relief and gradually slowed down his movements. "Seeing you're so tired, I'll reluctantly agree to let you rest here for a while."
"balloon":? ? ?
Although he was puzzled, the "balloon" still smiled on the surface: "Thank you."
In fact, she also roughly knew that the "Hummingbird" did not reach the middle tower through the teleportation array, and had to run several laps with her weak self on its back. Even if it was a person with cheats, it would be difficult to hold on.
After all, the physical strength in this game is still very realistic.
[You have new news!]
Could it be "weaving"?
"Balloon" looked at "Hummingbird" who was sitting against the wall with a dazed look in his eyes, and clicked on the unread message.
[Chat with "Zhi"]
"Did you change your name?"
——"weaving"
"No, why do you say that?"
--"balloon"
"I just suddenly felt that you spoke strangely."
"It's okay. Where are you? We'll go find you."
——"weaving"
"Host, I think I need to remind you first that if you die in the game world, you will really die." The system's voice sounded.
"Because you are not a native of this world, the game world inside and outside is the same to you. Once you enter the game, the outside you no longer exists."
Since the two had exchanged identities before, "Balloon" had already told the system not to come out to remind him.
"...Don't you want me to die?" "Balloon" was silent for a moment, then asked while typing slowly.
"Host, you don't have the concept of 'needing to die' to me, so I hope you are alive." The system spoke in a rare mechanical voice.
"'Need to die'?"
"Yes, you are lucky, you don't 'need to die'." The system abandoned its previous playful smile.
"I 'need to die' and she 'needs to die' too."
"But she said you don't 'need to die.'"
…
[Chat with "Zhi"]
"Are you with Hummingbird?"
——"weaving"
The "balloon" turned its head to look at the "hummingbird" which had tilted its head and seemed to be asleep.
Since she didn't say it, how did "Zhi" know it?
Also, why did the system remind herself to be careful and not die after seeing her chat with "Zhi"?
[Chat with "Zhi"]
"Oh, right! I have an assistant named Dai, he's the second in command of the organization!"
"He said he would go find you first!"
——"weaving"
"Why don't you reply to me?"
——"weaving"
[You have been banned!]
[You have been banned!]
"Balloon" looked at the words in his dialog box and felt helpless.
Maybe replying "weave" is not a good choice, but if you don't reply, "balloon" is also afraid that the other party will suddenly "lose control".
"You did it?" she asked the system.
It's impossible that she was banned again without doing anything, right?
"You actually suspected me of doing something so bad, wuwuwuwuwu!" The system returned to "normal." "I'm very innocent. Of course I wouldn't do anything that would make you unhappy, wuwuwuwuwu!"
“…I’m not unhappy.”
So she really didn't do anything and was inexplicably banned again? ?
^
"Balloon" was boredly browsing the Ribbon System's public chat screen when suddenly dust fell on her head.
No one will come from the sky...
“Bang——”!!!
A big hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling!
The "balloon" grabbed the "hummingbird's" arm, and the "hummingbird" woke up from its sleep.
The two of them quickly hid to the side!
...surrender.
Maybe because she had just woken up, the "Hummingbird" was not so agile, and a piece of broken tile accidentally scratched her calf while she was hiding!
"Tiles with the 'highly toxic' attribute? That's crazy."
"Hummingbird" must have opened her attribute panel. She muttered a few words under her breath, took a roll of bandage and quickly tied up the wound.
So, soon, the second person falling from the sky that "Balloon" saw today finally landed on the ground.
