Chapter 148
In his understanding, the green name is obviously the enemy, but the green name has no health bar, while the red name does.
The player's eyes silently passed over Leif's figure.
Even though his current mental state was worrying, he started thinking subconsciously.
In this situation, either there is a problem with the game or there is a problem with him.
Since there shouldn't be any problems with the game in general, so...
Su Xingyuan said nothing. He quietly waited for the red and green to go down the well. Then he tilted his head slightly and asked, "Is the enemy we are looking for inside?"
Leif nodded cautiously, "Yes. Let's go in and take a look."
It would be best if the process could be faster so as not to let Su Xingyuan go crazy - as long as he sees a clear enemy, Su Xingyuan's target should be temporarily locked on those guys, thus temporarily forgetting the two humans here.
Although Orion didn't know that Su Xingyuan was more seriously affected than him, he shuddered subconsciously when he saw the black-haired boy's face without any special expression, but with a strangely quiet and innocent look, and whispered: "Hunter Su Xingyuan...? Are you really okay?"
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly, without any movement of his body, but his green glass-like pupils moved slightly and looked over: "Any questions?"
“……”There’s something very problematic about your weird movements! !
Orion gasped uncontrollably, too frightened to say anything, or even to follow his body's instinct to step back: "Nothing... I just think we may need to solve the mystery here quickly."
Su Xingyuan said happily: "I think so too."
He lowered his right hand that was resting on the sword at his waist, and a piece of the snow-white blade fell down as if it was casually pushed out.
Orion breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the illumination of the bright firelight, several secret passages leading to other directions were clearly revealed under the well. The black-haired boy's attention seemed to be drawn to the situation in front of him. He chose one of them without any hesitation and walked in without hesitation.
Leif and Orion followed closely behind.
Although Orion felt that it was not safe for them to let a person who was likely to be contaminated like him stay behind everyone, since Leif was the clue provider and might be useful later, and Leif's strength might make it difficult for him to deal with the dangers that might arise next, Orion chose to stay behind and protect Leif in the middle.
The surroundings were unusually quiet. The footsteps of the three people were very light. The most noticeable thing here was the faint sound of burning torches.
Where will this road lead? Will there be an enemy at the end of the road?
Have they really chosen the right path?
Orion glanced back.
The direction he came from was already swallowed by darkness.
He knew that these thoughts were dangerous. As an S-rank hunter, his experience told him that besides being cautious in the sect, excessive worry and fear were useless and could even lead to absolutely bad consequences.
Now, what he should do is to stabilize his emotions, stay calm and firm, instead of continuing to hesitate and feel uneasy.
But for some reason, the more he warned himself, the more hesitant and uneasy he became. The environment around him seemed to be quietly changing, slowly sliding in a worse direction, including the two people walking in front of him.
Orion looked at his companion.
The companion walking in front held a torch in his hand, and the light guided the later ones forward. The owner of the torch did not show any anxiety or restlessness, and was extremely firm and calm from beginning to end. Although the flaxen-haired boy behind him moved cautiously and flustered, Orion could keenly sense his deep calmness.
Orion began to have some doubts.
Why...it's obviously their first time here, why are Su Xingyuan and Leif so clear about their goals?
When several secret passages appeared in the well at the same time, Su Xingyuan made his choice without any hesitation, let alone discussing or analyzing it with his companions.
Does he really not know what is at the end of the road?
And... Su Xingyuan also came from an extremely cold world, but there was no grayish sign in his mouth; his body was frostbitten. Logically, frostbite can only happen because a hunter has no magic power to protect himself, but Su Xingyuan clearly still has plenty of magic power.
It can't be that Su Xingyuan deliberately didn't use magic, right? Compared to saving mana, isn't the inconvenience of movement or the possibility of death caused by frostbite more serious?
A normal hunter wouldn't lose sight of the main goal like this.
So, Suxingyuan...is it really Suxingyuan?
Or a corpse that has been successfully possessed?
The moment this thought came to my mind—
As if something was suddenly broken, a large amount of white fluff suddenly flowed out of the black-haired boy's body!
Those white fluffs were like cotton stuffed in a piece of cloth. Once squeezed by external force, they couldn't wait to drill out. This state even reminded Orion of the pink flesh and yellow fat that overflowed when the human body was squeezed instantly.
One by one, in piles.
Orion felt a sickening nausea and dizziness.
Something is trying to get out of that body, he thought, it must be like that.
He didn't see himself trembling as he pulled out a dagger.
But what if it was an accidental injury? Maybe Su Xingyuan was simply hit by a skill. This enemy's skill could temporarily turn Su Xingyuan into cotton.
"careful!!"
A scream suddenly exploded in his ears.
This cry was like a thunderclap, which directly blew open the top of Orion's head, clearing the complicated and chaotic thoughts in his mind and preventing him from seeing the scene in front of him more clearly.
——No white fluff, no cotton, no enemies. Nothing at all. His companion had his back to him, holding a torch, concentrating on illuminating, exploring and guiding the way forward, while he had a dagger in his hand, stabbing his companion's back fiercely and without hesitation.
After seeing all this, Orion's pupils suddenly shrank in horror and disbelief.
how so?
--how so? !
What is he doing? !
Orion tried desperately to stop himself, but his body seemed to suddenly have stronger inertia than ever before.
In addition, he couldn't even completely control his body now, and his attacking posture didn't change even a little bit.
He could only watch it all happen.
Orion thought desperately.
He was still confused by the illusion and attacked his companions. The final result was obvious, either he would die or be injured. Everything was even slowed down in his brain, making it impossible for him to ignore it and he could only watch.
Soon, he discovered that something worse had happened.
Because Leif, who was in front of him, reacted earlier than Su Xingyuan who was concentrating on his work, and rushed to Su Xingyuan's back without hesitation, trying to block his dagger!
At any other time, Orion would have been moved by Leif's bravery, but now all he wanted to do was yell "Get lost".
Are you kidding me? !
If his knife stabbed Su Xingyuan, it might not even break his skin. It might even cause Su Xingyuan to fly away. There is also a certain chance that he would subconsciously mistake him for an enemy and have his head chopped off.
But does Leif have the terrifying strength of Su Xingyuan?
The final result is likely that Orion not only killed Leif, but was also beheaded subconsciously by Su Xingyuan who reacted quickly!
Orion was really desperate about this damn copy.
What he didn't know was that all the despair he perceived was intentional.
Leif didn't care whether this body would be injured or die. He had the ability to restore the injuries of this body to a level that would not lead to quick death. All the residents living in this town were his incarnations and containers for storing his vitality.
For the third demon king who is proficient in this art, splitting his soul is easy, let alone splitting his life.
He can use them whenever he wants.
Everything that is happening now is what Leif expected, including blocking the knife for Su Xingyuan.
Su Xingyuan, who has an almost fanatical obsession with killing the enemy, must have focused most of his attention on the front where there is no companion when exploring the enemy's hideout, not to mention that he is under the huge influence of drugs; and Orion's rationality will not be able to hold up, and he will regard everything around him as visible and invisible enemies, especially Su Xingyuan who has also taken drugs.
He will hate the other person.
At this time, Leif will sacrifice his life for Xingyuan without hesitation, and after success, he will quietly free Xingyuan from the influence and wake him up completely, just in time to see the dire condition of Leif and Orion's betrayal.
Even if Orion had no choice, Su Xingyuan would always be cautious when interacting with him.
Seeing that the plan was almost half successful, Leif was very satisfied.
However, just as he was waiting for the destined perfect ending, an accident happened.
Or for Orion, it should be "the accident happened again."
Because Su Xingyuan suddenly stopped.
Then, he actually caught up with the speed of Orion's attack halfway, and at that moment, he slightly tilted his head back.
The figures of Leif and Orion were reflected in his emerald green eyes.
Then, Su Xingyuan smiled.
It was a very happy and hearty laugh, as if something that had been lost for a long time was suddenly found, or as if... a long-sought treasure suddenly appeared in front of him.
...For Su Xingyuan, what can be called a "treasure"?
For some reason, both Orion and Leif suddenly felt a great sense of uneasiness.
Sure enough, the next moment, the black-haired boy attacked with a smile.
"What are you doing secretly?"
The blade is unsheathed.
The bright knife light shone through a gap and hit Leif's suddenly shrinking pupils.
"I'm really sorry... I can't quite tell who the enemy is."
He spoke as if he was embarrassed, but his tone was light, cheerful and sunny, which made people feel a chill down their spine.
After he said this, his beautiful green eyes lightly fell on Leif, who was closest to him and was about to block the knife for him.
"So……"
The black-haired boy narrowed his eyes slightly.
He smiled a smile that was familiar to everyone who had faced him, but most of the people who were familiar with this smile should have already found a job in hell.
"—Shall we start with you?"
With a light "clang" sound, the dagger was unsheathed, and bright silver snow jumped and surged on his fingertips, finally converging at one point.
That was Leif's head.
