Chapter 110
The deadline given by Su Xingyuan is before ten o'clock tomorrow morning, purely because the monsters can't hold out that long.
Players can of course continue to use potions to extend their lives indefinitely, but this is only limited to the player's special physique. As for other people, including monsters, they cannot use blood recovery items to stay alive all the time. Sometimes, if they make a mistake, they may not be able to withstand the effects of the medicine and die directly.
This is also the reason why Su Xingyuan did not directly give the pregnant woman the blood-restoring medicine. It happened that he had a lot of desserts in his backpack that could restore physical strength on a small scale. This was the safest for ordinary people.
Su Xingyuan roughly estimated that the monster's endurance limit was about ten hours.
He left the unfinished building and walked slowly on the street, dragging the monster's body.
It was the middle of the night, and the place was quite remote, with few pedestrians and the street lights were very dim. If someone saw Su Xingyuan's appearance and what he held in his hand at this moment, they would probably faint from fright.
Su Xingyuan walked for a long time before he came to a relatively busy area. Even at night, there were still many people. However, the NPCs were not afraid of him at all. They even looked at the monster curiously. Two brave ones even came up to him and asked, "Excuse me, are you cosplaying?"
Although the faces of the pixelated figures were all roughly the same, they were still a little blurry, as if he had suddenly acquired 500-degree myopia, but Su Xingyuan still said calmly, "Yes, I'm cosplaying as an NPC in the game."
"Wow!"
"I was thinking someone this good-looking must be a cosplayer, maybe even an internet celebrity..."
The field staff of the Investigation Bureau mixed in the crowd: "..."
They wiped the cold sweat frantically.
Damn it, how could he pull the living monster directly into the crowd! Aren’t you afraid that the monster might suddenly attack and hurt people?
They have dealt with monsters many times, so they are naturally well aware that these monsters are selfish and regard humans as an inferior race and food. They cannot tolerate being defeated or controlled by humans.
As long as there is a slight chance, they will try to drag humans into the water.
However, as they observed, they discovered one thing - this monster was really taking it seriously as a cosplay prop? !
The monster, which should have been extremely dangerous, was now like a lifeless prop, allowing the hooded man to drag it leisurely and lazily. Even though it seemed that it had so many opportunities to escape or attack the humans nearby, it did not move at all, and did not even dare to blink, as if it was afraid of alarming something.
"...I always feel that it's a bit strange," a member of the Investigation Bureau who slowly followed the hooded man was a little confused, not knowing how to describe the strange feeling in his heart, "This attitude... doesn't seem like treating a powerful enemy of a hostile race, but more like..."
Another member of the Investigation Bureau compared it to this: "It's like we met Director Zhou."
"Yes, yes, yes." The members of the Investigation Bureau nodded frantically. "It's more serious than this. At least Director Zhou will only ask us to be careful about the next salary assessment..."
"Wait, where did he go?"
In just a moment, even if their eyes were still on the hooded man, he was gone.
"Report! Group 5, No. 1 and No. 2 have lost their target, location..."
Reports from field members in various locations in the city were summarized and submitted to the team leader, uploaded layer by layer, and finally conveyed to Director Zhou, who served as the commander-in-chief. The entire process was accelerated to the extreme.
The surveillance footage and pictures taken by field staff were also quickly printed out and listed on the desktop.
In the picture, a young man dressed in black and wearing a hood is dragging a corpse-like body of a monster in his hands, wandering around the city as if he has no purpose, as if he is just sightseeing.
He had a tall figure, with his black hair tied up and falling from his hood, but his face, which gave the illusion of being handsome, remained extremely blurry no matter how high the resolution was adjusted or how the picture was magnified.
"From the beginning, I only provided props and minimal help, to guiding the victims who accidentally entered the portal to walk out of the door and guide them to kill monsters, and then threw out lethal props to directly freeze the monsters that wanted to invade the human world in groups..."
A man holding a document listed this series of facts and set his eyes on the report sent by the two field members No. 4 and No. 5: "And this time, he came to our world and killed the rebellious monster with his own hands."
The man said: "If the one who helped humans after all these things was the same person, the Hooded Man, we can draw a simple conclusion - as the monsters' erosion of the human world deepens, his interference in the human world is also deepening synchronously."
Just like everything has two sides, where there is light there must be darkness, reaching a delicate balance - the invasion of monsters intensifies, and the intervention of mysterious people is also escalating, becoming a humanoid weapon to resist monsters.
"The hooded man's words imply that he can only appear when monsters exist in the human world, so he has to extend the monsters' lives, because once the monsters die, he can't stay here - this can also prove my point just now, the hooded man is the natural nemesis of monsters!"
"Moreover, the hooded man's behavior shows that he is not familiar with our world. At least he is curious, otherwise he would not want to stay."
"But there is no malice in his curiosity, otherwise he could easily commit a murder... I suggest that we treat the hooded man with the highest standard of treatment, cooperate with him, and fight against monsters together!"
Director Zhou nodded slightly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a man dressed as a researcher hurried in, reporting breathlessly: "The body's test report is out... There are signs of demonization... And after comparing the data, he is very likely the real culprit of a homicide that occurred in this city not long ago!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room.
"He must have known that this man had ulterior motives, so he took action..."
"No, he knows this man has killed someone!"
"But how did he know...? A human can become stronger through various methods, but it is impossible to achieve this level..."
"He didn't say he was human! Don't jump to conclusions just because he looks like a human!"
"He acts like a devil to the wicked, and like a saint to the weak... This is the ray of hope God has given us! He must be the key to humanity's resistance to monsters!"
Due to the special nature of the portal incident, the Investigation Bureau not only has people from the military, national research institutes, and political circles, but also masters from various schools who have been secretly invited over. They do have real skills. In the early days when there was no information at all, they relied on their sect's treasures to barely resist the invasion of monsters.
"Quiet."
Director Zhou said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, the conference room that was filled with discussions fell silent, and everyone was looking at Director Zhou, waiting for his decision.
"Find him and ask him to cooperate with us and with humanity with the utmost sincerity."
The hooded man gave them the opportunity to contact him, they must not let it go!
…
Su Xingyuan was strolling into a residential area at this time.
He got rid of the pixelated people who had been following him. After all, the game still had to be a bit adventurous. It would not be fun if the players knew the location of the NPCs from the beginning.
Thinking back to the time when Su Xingyuan was running around the map himself, he had been tricked many times by hidden maps and hidden NPCs. Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity to trick the NPC.
Su Xingyuan did not leave the city. He found that he could not go too far away from the place where he appeared.
Everything here is no different from the ordinary world except that it is pixelated. Su Xingyuan soon felt a little bored. As was his habit, he went to the rooftop of the tallest building in the city, sat on the edge of the rooftop, and quietly watched the scene downstairs.
By the time Director Zhou arrived here, he didn't know how long he had been sitting there.
Director Zhou looked at the hooded boy who was as silent and quiet as a sculpture. The wind from the rooftop made his hood sway slightly. Director Zhou actually had the illusion that what he was looking at was not the scenery under his feet, but something larger, heavier, and more elusive.
Director Zhou was unable to accurately grasp the sudden thought that flashed through his mind, but his attitude became more solemn as a result.
"Hello." Director Zhou said.
The young man on the edge of the rooftop turned his head, and at that moment, his hood fell down because of the wind, and his slightly scattered long hair immediately flew up.
He smiled and said, "You're here."
Director Zhou's fingertips moved slightly, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. His lips moved for a moment before he said, "The one who has helped us many times is you, right? Many of my subordinates and several innocent humans have survived under your protection... On behalf of all humans, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you."
The black-haired boy was silent.
Director Zhou continued, "But our strength...is not enough to fight against the increasingly rampant monsters. We don't know why you kill monsters, but your actions have really benefited us. If possible, we are very willing to provide you with some insignificant help."
The Bureau didn't know the black-haired boy's identity, his purpose, or his likes and dislikes. They had nothing to offer in exchange, nor could they provide any benefits. They only had a sincere heart, and they tried their best to present it to the black-haired boy with the best attitude.
However, the black-haired boy remained silent.
Director Zhou's heart sank a little bit, but he still had hope.
"But I don't want to."
The black-haired boy said softly, "I will continue to do my own thing, but this has nothing to do with you."
He stood up. "I don't need anyone's help. Goodbye, sir."
It's ten o'clock.
The star origin extracts/projects consciousness.
Perhaps because it was the first time he did this, he felt a little dizzy when his consciousness returned to his body.
Su Xingyuan didn't care much about his mental state and calmly glanced at the new coordination level.
【lv.5 (maximum level)】
At the same time, the ringtone he set rang. Su Xingyuan closed the game, took off his helmet, and fell into a deep sleep without saying a word.
The next day, the black-haired boy opened his eyes on time relying on his biological clock.
He walked to the mirror, blinked his uncomfortable eyes, looked at the slight red bloodshot in his eyes, and sighed slightly.
This is the price of staying up late to play games.
Today is the day we return to school, and we need to take graduation photos. Even though I’m in a bad state… it’s not impossible.
Su Xingyuan calmly finished washing up and put on his black-framed glasses. As long as he covers his eyes, no one will notice that he stayed up late last night.
Because of his fair skin, any dark circles under his eyes would be very noticeable. Su Xingyuan still minds that he looks dull in the graduation photos in other people's hands.
Fortunately, Su Xingyuan usually has a very healthy schedule. He is a breath of fresh air among high school and college students who often go to bed at the early hours of the morning. Until he returned to the door of his classroom, no one noticed that his condition was a little different from usual.
"Su Shen, you are here too!"
A girl's voice sounded happily.
Su Xingyuan looked in the direction of the voice and recognized her as Qu Wutong, who was often active in the class group.
Qu Wutong greeted him energetically at first, but was a little speechless after seeing his attire: "...Do I need to wear black-framed glasses for graduation photos? Damn it, if I had a face like yours, I would cross the road eight hundred times a day."
How could it be covered up?
Su Xingyuan said calmly: "This is called being faithful to one person."
Qu Wutong: “…”
You win.
"By the way, were you injured before?" Qu Wutong asked worriedly, "How is the wound?"
Su Xingyuan shook his head slightly: "It's okay, he should be well soon."
He was wearing long sleeves today, which covered the bandage on his arm and made it less noticeable.
"You guys are all in the classroom!" Chen Wei, another classmate, ran in and said, "Come on, let's go to the playground and take some pictures before we take the group photo!"
"I'm going too!" Qu Wutong quickly took the d: "I heard that many people in Class 2 want to take a photo with Su Shen today, we must not let them succeed!"
Chen Wei: “Good idea.”
Su Xingyuan: “……?”
Is there any necessary connection between the two?
But there was nothing to do in the teaching building at the moment, so Su Xingyuan followed Chen Wei to the playground. There were also a lot of people here, but because the place was large and there were so many people, he was not so conspicuous among them.
Su Xingyuan looked back at the teaching building.
"What are you looking at, Su Shen?" Qu Wutong asked curiously.
Su Xingyuan: "I just remembered some classic plots from horror games. For example, after leaving the teaching building for a while..."
“Everyone in the building has turned into monsters.”
Qu Wutong was inexplicably shocked.
She rubbed her arms: "...in broad daylight."
Su Xingyuan blinked his eyes and said, "I'm just kidding. Actually, it's okay. I know where there is a chainsaw in the school."
Qu Wutong: “……?”
Chen Wei: “???”
No, why do you know this? ?
