Sixty-one

Without any warm-up activities, the scene suddenly became agitated. As soon as the auctioneer called out the starting price, someone couldn't wait to add more.

"No. 7 in Area C bids 10 gold bars!"

"No. 12 in Area B bids..."

"No. 17 in Area A..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the numbers on the screen quickly accumulated.

Players who didn't even have time to start bidding: "......?" "

Jiang Ling: I feel like I'm useless. This is unscientific. An Shichu is not as good-looking as De Lian. So many people like this kind of porridge and side dishes? " "

De Lian:? Please don't pull it down. " "

An Shichu: Ha. "

Do these people have some strange XP?

Chu Zaizhou maintained his character expression, but his eyes were a little empty. He began to feel that selling props didn't seem to be as valuable as selling himself.

Anyway, all the vests are pretty good, so they can sell them and come back themselves, making a lot of money.

"De Lian: The one who bids the highest right now is Ma Feng, and it looks like they've already talked to their superiors."

This is a bit surprising - An Shichu's disappearance is not the responsibility of "Shuguang", and the academy didn't ask "Shuguang" to help find him.

Now it seems that they are still very concerned.

On the deck of the Drungz.

Since there were no unified activities organized by the organizers, people were strolling around in scattered groups, enjoying their last night on the cruise ship.

Kaxiu and Lu Tian were standing by the railing, looking at the endless sea.

Lu Tian was like a vigilant golden retriever, saying a few words from time to time and turning his head to look around, and reminding Kaxiu to wear a hat and be careful of the cold every once in a while.

The latter still seemed to have lost his soul. He hummed softly and looked at the sea without giving any extra reaction.

In fact, it’s also good this way. Lu Tian secretly glanced at Kaxiu. Half of the black-haired young man’s face was hidden under the brim of his hat. He could only see that he was slightly pursing his lips, which seemed a little dissatisfied.

...This was a bad idea that he and Yu Tianhe racked their brains to come up with.

The two of them acted separately, one followed Kaxiu at all times and watched out for "Liang Qi" to appear around him, and the other wandered around to see if he could find the source first and seduce him in a roundabout way.

Although it is annoying to be so sticky as a dog-skin plaster, it is effective. And Kaxiu will forget about it tomorrow.

Lu Tian thought guiltily, Mr. Kaxiu should not write this in the notebook...right?

"You really don't have anything to tell me?" The black-haired young man next to him asked coldly.

Kaxiu turned his head, narrowed his green eyes, looked at Lu Tian, ​​and said calmly and firmly: "You are hiding something from me!"

Lu Tian: "I..."

"You don't have to say you didn't." Kaxiu said, "You said yesterday that friends should be honest with each other."

... Lu Tian didn't know whether he should move Kaxiu to write down this sentence.

"No." He hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "It's just that Jiang Ling told us that there will be people from the academy to review your behavior on the ship this time. I don't want you to do anything out of line."

"I won't." Kaxiu said without hesitation, showing his stubborn attitude of "obedient but absolutely not changing" clearly.

"You will." Lu Tian said without hesitation, "If something strange happens, or other situations occur, can you guarantee that you won't take action?"

Kaxiu tightened his hands on the railing and he exhaled, "It depends."

"According to the rules, eliminating the weirdness is the primary goal."

Lu Tian: "This is premised on the fact that you have the energy to solve it."

Kaxiu turned around, his expression fluctuated slightly: "How do you know - who did you meet?"

"Jiang Ling said."

"Impossible." Kaxiu sneered, "With his level of failing theory at the end of every semester and treating make-up exams as a meal, can he memorize the school rules?"

Lu Tian: "..." Jiang Ling, can you be nicer!

Less than an elbow away, Kaxiu's pressure was so strong that few could resist it. The two confronted each other, and in the end, Lu Tian was defeated and gave Delian away.

"…It turned out to be him." The black-haired young man smiled and mocked, "That's normal. Except for the director, no one knows the school rules better than him."

Having said that, the black-haired young man's emotions were obviously confused, and a trace of anxiety flashed across his eyebrows.

Until now, he still didn't know what the opportunity Qiu Qiu was talking about, and what was more troublesome was that Delian had already set his sights on him.

"There is no chance this time, we can wait for next time." Lu Tian advised, "As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no worries about firewood."

Before Kaxiu could say anything, he saw a tall and thin figure walking from a distance.

It was Yu Tianhe.

"Mr. Kaxiu! Lu Tian!" Yu Tianhe's eyebrows were filled with anxiety. He walked up to the two of them and said in a low voice, "Something happened in the swimming pool."

"What happened? Tell me slowly." Lu Tian was about to put his hand on his shoulder, but saw the man inadvertently dodge and rubbed past.

He looked up at the other party, and his hand continued to stretch forward without question.

"Snap!" His hand was slapped away.

Lu Tian's expression instantly became alert, and he stepped back and pulled out a folding knife from his trouser pocket.

"Why do you want to know me? Don't you want to hide the facts?"

The tall and thin Yu Tianhe said solemnly, and gave Lu Tian a weird smile.

The truth that Lu Tian was hiding was directly revealed, his pupils shrank, and he realized that something was out of control!

Why did the strange attack them so directly? What memory did it read? !

At this moment, the silent live broadcast room quietly opened!

"Bang!" A dull collision sound of flesh rang out, and Kaxiu kicked "Yu Tianhe" and sent him flying backwards. He grabbed Lu Tian's hand and rushed into the room.

"Go first!"

A scalpel slipped out of Kaxiu's left sleeve. Without turning his head, he pressed down his wrist, and the knife seemed to have eyes and stabbed towards "Yu Tianhe's" neck!

The silver scalpel flashed in the air, and its lightning-like speed made it impossible for people to react. In the end, it stabbed steadily into "Yu Tianhe's" neck.

The man who was kicked and covered his stomach just curled up, and his neck was stabbed through. Blood gushed out instantly, staining the deck red.

There is never a shortage of idle people in the world, not to mention that players also have business live broadcasts on weekdays, patting other superpowers, or using vests to clean up the mess and brush up some mosquito leg role points.

Therefore, the moment the live broadcast started, people rushed in.

[Oh oh oh! The live broadcast started again. I don’t know what’s weird this time. I hope it won’t end too soon. ]

[It seemed to end in three minutes last time. It was the trump card "Angel" of the country that the sun never sets. ]

[Fuck! Who did I see! My long-lost husband! ]

[Ahhh! Kaxiu!! My husband has become handsome again after not seeing him for a few months! ]

[Brother Yu and Brother Lu are also here. Are they teaming up to brush the dungeon again? 】

The audience's excited comments were barely on the screen when they saw Kaxiu kicking them and stabbing them with a knife. The man's blood almost sprayed onto the screen.

Audience: What the hell!

【What, what happened? Am I still half asleep? How did I see Kazi stabbing Yu...】

【Haha, what kind of drill is this? Is my Ka-Yu-Tian triangle going to break up? (Can't laugh anymore)】

【Kaxiu wasn't originally from Shuguang. Who knows what the Central School of Supernatural Powers' purpose is? Now, it's over, right? 】

【Who are the people who fanned the flames? There must be something hidden!! 】

"Yu Tianhe" lying on the ground was shaking, and soon he wrinkled like a sponge that had been squeezed dry.

A strange tumor protruded from the back of his neck and soon spread all over his body.

In a few seconds, he turned into a pile of viscous tumors, seeping in along the deck.

The whole scene was extremely horrifying, and the passengers who happened to walk onto the deck screamed after witnessing it.

"Ah--!!"

She turned around and fled with her face in her hands, running back to the swimming pool she had just returned from in one breath. At the door, she saw her familiar male companion.

She hugged him with lingering fear: "Oh! Honey, you don't know what I just saw, someone killed someone, and then that person turned into a monster..."

"Really?" The male companion showed a stiff smile, "Honey, aren't monsters good?"

The female companion shuddered, took two steps back, and leaned against the railing.

She looked at the people who were playing in the swimming pool in horror, and found that everyone gave her the same stiff smile.

"Ah--!!!"

Kaxiu rushed into the indoor corridor and barely let go of Lu Tian's hand.

He turned around and found that the strange creature was not chasing him, and he couldn't help but frowned.

"Do you know that there are strange things on the ship?" He turned his head.

Lu Tian's face turned pale, and he panted quickly: "You know something, it can replace and copy other people's identities, just like Yu Tianhe just now!"

He didn't expect Kaxiu to be so decisive, and he would give a fatal blow to the strange creature that was facing Yu Tianhe's face.

He quickly explained: "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, it was--"

Kaxiu's eyes flashed coldly, and he interrupted Lu Tian's explanation: "Don't say that, don't hide it from me in the future!"

Lu Tian opened his mouth and tried to dispel his strength in vain: "I know."

He knew that hiding something on a weird issue touched Kaxiu's bottom line.

Kaxiu's facial muscles twitched, and he didn't show a soothing smile. He dully took out a gun from his windbreaker pocket and threw it into Lu Tian's arms.

Seeing him looking over, Kaxiu said calmly: "Jiang Ling gave it to me. I'm not used to using hot weapons. You can use it."

"Okay." Lu Tian nodded and took a deep breath. "The copy of Captain Yu we encountered shows that he has already met with the strange."

"This strange is very hidden. I can't feel the threatening aura. I'm worried that it has penetrated very deeply."

Lu Tian was a little annoyed. He had been observing the people around him, but he didn't find any clues.

"Do you know where Yu Tianhe is?" Kaxiu asked.

Lu Tian took out his mobile phone and flipped through it quickly: "He will send me a message every time he searches a floor. Now it should be - the swimming pool!"

Without hesitation, Kaxiu turned around and left.

When they opened the door, a woman in a bikini suddenly rushed over from beside them. She grabbed Lu Tian's sleeve and said in panic: "Save me! Save me!"

"There is a monster in the pool!" She spoke very quickly and chaotically, and her English with a strong accent could only be understood roughly.

Lu Tian consciously reached out to help her, and also said in English: "Don't worry, we are planning to--"

Before he finished speaking, a dark scene suddenly covered his eyes, and a thick and cold liquid slid down his jaw, and the fishy smell was nauseating.

Lu Tian froze in place, his fingers touched the woman's skin, and chaotic memories exploded in his mind.

Soon, the darkness in front of his eyes disappeared.

Kaxiu threw away his thoroughly soiled hat and reached out to pull out the scalpel stuck in the woman's neck.

His bloodless face was stained with a touch of red, burning shockingly, and his green eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, looking at the breathless woman without any ripples.

He took off the bloodstained gloves and handed them to Lu Tian: "Put them on, don't use your supernatural powers."

"Kaxiu..." Lu Tian's tone was still a little stagnant.

"You don't know who was copied by Weird. If you read Weird multiple times, your contamination value will be hopeless."

Lu Tian coughed and put on the blood-stained gloves tremblingly: "Sorry, but I still want to ask, how do you know she is a copy of Weird?"

"Just now on the deck, she saw me kill 'Yu Tianhe'."

Kaxiu raised a mocking smile: "In this case, who would come to me for help?"

He kicked the Weird clone that had begun to dissolve to the side and pushed the door open.

The barrage had collapsed due to this fast-paced transition:

[I understand, that Yu Tianhe is fake, this woman is also fake, there are many fakes in this place... Werewolf? ! ]

[Why is Kaxiu so difficult and weird when he first appears? Substituting identities and duplication, this is too buggy!! ]

[I went to take a look, and the woman just happened to walk over and showed her face before running away. In the pitch-black darkness, Kaxiu could actually see and remember it, and made a judgment in an instant... Awesome. ]

[Carmen! With Kaxiu here, it's safe! ]

[Who knows, Brother Yu is now in danger of death, Brother Lu's ability was directly sealed, and how to distinguish between a human and a ghost! ]

[This ship looks familiar. The ship that the beauty searched yesterday has a similar structure to this one. ]

[...I think it's scary that they can act so decisively on people with the same face? It's too inhumane. 】

At the same time, the Shuguang Clan, who received the news of the strange live broadcast, also assigned the task to the Information Department.

Luo Cheng was still in charge this time, and Bai Jingheng, who was still recovering from his injuries, was also watching.

"At dawn, Lu Tian reported to us that something strange was hiding and asked us to wait and see. We didn't expect it to break out in just one day."

Bai Jingheng: "Support?"

Luo Cheng supported his hands and looked at the live broadcast room, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "The External Relations Department went to contact them in the morning, but the Drentz refused to provide coordinates and claimed that it would never let anyone disrupt the itinerary."

"We are worried that if we take tough measures, they will directly drive into other countries, which will make negotiations more troublesome."

Bai Jingheng: "Hide."

Luo Cheng sighed: "We just did it. On the one hand, we sent the Yuheng team to meet them on a yacht, and on the other hand, we pretended to be a cargo ship and went out to sea."

"After all, there is still some distance, and it should be dawn by the time we get there."

There is nothing that can be done about it. Once this kind of monster lurks or is brought into the country, it will cause more uncontrollable casualties.

After the discussion, Shuguang tended to keep his troops in place and take action to rescue people after docking. That way, even if the monster is really scary, it will also wake up other areas.

But now that the monster has taken the initiative to break out, there is nothing to talk about - saving people is the most important thing.

Luo Cheng took a deep breath: "It's good to start a live broadcast, at least we can brainstorm and think about how to deal with this monster."

Bai Jingheng walked up to him: "It's difficult."

He said: "Identify and take action."

It is difficult to distinguish monsters, but it is even more difficult to take action against monsters that are no different from humans or even have familiar faces.

He could sense that this battle would be more difficult to fight than the one in Mantang Village.

Kaxiu...

Bai Jingheng touched the medicine in his arms, frowned deeply at the black-haired young man whose pollution value could not be seen on the screen.

At the auction.

"Box No. 5 bids 1,200 gold bars, anyone else wants to bid higher!"

"Area A No. 23 bids 1,201!"

The auctioneer's voice echoed in the wide space, but it sounded particularly harsh to some people's ears.

Cheng Feiyu supported his hands and sat paralyzed on the sofa, not daring to look at An Shiyu next to him.

Extreme pain and hatred fermented in his heart, and Cheng Feiyu was even afraid that he would completely lose control.

Is it really meaningful? Using such a high price to exchange for an illusory favor.

But if he doesn't do this, not only will he and An Shiyu have a quarrel, but the superiors in the Summoning Spirit Society won't care what the reason is, they will just say that he is incompetent...

How about destroying this place? Cheng Feiyu thought crazily that as long as he blew up this ship, he wouldn't have to worry about all this!

The chestnut-haired boy sitting next to him no longer looked anxious, his eyes were filled with pity and disdain.

"An Shiyu: Let's not kill this guy first, someone else may not be so easy to deal with." "

Kaxiu: Be careful. "

Forget it, Cheng Feiyu." An Shiyu suddenly spoke, and he sneered, "Stop taking pictures."

"Huh...?" Cheng Feiyu raised his head dully, his eyes red, as if he would cry in the next moment, "You really don't want to take pictures anymore?"

"No need." An Shiyu pulled the corner of his mouth, walked in front of Cheng Feiyu, looked down at him, "Don't cry here, like I'm forcing you."

"If you can't take the picture, just rob it." He raised his chin slightly, but the light flashing in his amber eyes was particularly fierce, "We are not good people."

Cheng Feiyu's throat moved, and he actually cried. He now feels that An Shiyu, who doesn't need him to make choices and doesn't let him go bankrupt, is so beautiful.

He choked and said, "Okay."

At this moment, the scene below suddenly got out of control, and the screams were reflected by the wall, overlapping.

"What happened?" Cheng Feiyu wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and quickly put his emotions in order, standing next to the wide single-sided glass and looking down.

The next moment, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

I saw a man sitting in the C area diagonally below them, as if he was suddenly erased by an eraser, swallowed up from bottom to top.

The person next to him couldn't help but scream, but turned around and found that the person behind him also disappeared in the same way.

The whole auction became chaotic, but the door was locked during the auction, and no one could leave, so the sounds of falling and screams from being trampled in the chaos suddenly became one.

"How could it be!" Cheng Feiyu put his hands on the glass and looked at the scene in shock, "It--how could it suddenly attack these people!"

"It seems that you know the inside story? Is it the mastermind of the identity replacement?" An Shiyu stood beside him with a gloomy face.

"...It is weird." Cheng Feiyu said dryly, "I have never seen its specific identity, but I have heard about it in the underworld a long time ago."

"In the past three years, it has helped countless people replace their identities, and even..."

This time it even agreed to cooperate with the Invitation Society and infiltrate the academy.

Looking at An Shiyu's inquiring eyes, Cheng Feiyu swallowed the secret back.

He forced a smile: "Sorry, I don't know what the situation is now."

"Working with the strange, but they still tricked me." An Shiyu sneered, "What rubbish."

"Let's not talk about this. Do you have your weapons ready? Go down and take a look."

He said coldly: "Just hope that there won't be any uncontrollable chaos, otherwise--"

He slammed the door and left before he finished speaking.

Cheng Feiyu stood there, pursing his lips and thinking bitterly, otherwise, he who proposed to replace An Shiyu's identity might really be played to death by that scheming Lu.

What did he do wrong to suffer heavy blows again and again...

The chaos continued, and the auctioneers standing on the stage all ran away. For a while, no one cared about the "goods" on the stage.

The iron cage that had been auctioned was not pushed down, but covered with a black cloth again.

The chestnut-haired boy slowly pulled down the black cloth on his head and wrapped it around himself.

His cheeks were still covered with tear marks, but without the timid expression, he looked weird.

There was a noise behind him, and An Shichu turned around, his expression suddenly changed to a cute one.

In front of the dark curtain, a gap was torn open in the iron cage. Lu Qian slowly stood up straight, pulled the black cloth and tied it around his waist.

He stood upright and was about 1.8 meters tall, with tight muscles all over his body, and his wolf-like green eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

Then, he walked next to An Shichu and lowered his head to look at the boy with brown hair and a cute and innocent look.

...This guy was just offered a high price of more than a thousand gold bricks?

This thought flashed through Lu Qian's mind, and he really didn't understand what was wrong with these people.

"Look, it's chaos." Looking at him, a smile broke out on the young man's face, and his amber eyes were full of pride, "I was right!"

Lu Qian: "..."

The wolf boy frowned and said coldly: "Coincidence - if it's a little later, you will be sold out, you know?"

"You are still here." An Shichu answered briskly, "You said you would come to save me."

Lu Qian became even angrier after hearing this. He said angrily: "It's important to become stronger yourself, you can't rely on others!" After

he finished speaking, he thought of the chestnut-haired boy bursting into tears, and immediately began to regret it.

Why did he say that? It would be better to go out and kill that scumbag and pack this guy up and send him to a mental hospital...

"I'll save you first." Lu Qian took a deep breath.

"Knock knock!" There was a knocking sound behind them.

The mermaid somehow opened the black cloth and looked at the two of them with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"You two are really awesome. That bid price can buy hundreds of me!"

Lu Qian's face turned black: "..." Is this an honor?

An Shichu's eyes flickered slightly. He was different. He had someone to support him.

"Well, cough cough cough." The mermaid said, then realized that it was not the right time. He smiled awkwardly, "Can you take me one with you?"

"No need to save me, just send me out of this place." He lowered his voice humbly, "Send to room 403."

Lu Qian frowned subconsciously: "403? Are you related to the other people on the boat?"

"No." The mermaid ruffled her messy hair like seaweed, and whispered, "That's not it, my hearing is very good, I don't want to go with the man who bid for me, after all, we are all bad men, no, mermen are not good either... brother! You know!"

"403 is a rich woman, I heard her say I'm pretty!"

Lu Qian: "…………..."

An Shichu, An Shichu was also a little unconvinced.

In his mind, he could still hear Jiang Ling's protest, saying that he had no bad intentions towards this mermaid, and that this was a complete slander!

Lu Qian was still a little hesitant. It was not that he did not want to bring a mermaid, but the other party was obviously a semi-aquatic creature, and there was also An Shichu, a burden, next to him.

The mermaid said appropriately: "Don't look at me as weak. In fact, I have also evolved nails, but I didn't tell those people. Brother Wolf, you go fight, and I will help you watch your beautiful brother!"

He stretched out his webbed feet, and claws with a cold glow popped out from them.

Lu Qian was relieved. He turned to An Shichu, who was squatting in the cage and said obediently: "Then you wait a moment--"

His voice stopped abruptly.

The thick iron railing in front of the delicate, beautiful boy turned into an exaggerated oval.

The boy poked his head out and said "Hmm?" innocently.

Lu Qian pointed at the railing: "You, you--"

The player was actually a little guilty, he just wanted to push it a little to make himself sit more comfortably.

But on the surface, he still blinked blankly: "You go and do your thing, don't waste time for me--I will take good care of him."

As if the opening of the cage was still a little small, the boy stepped on the railing and gently stretched his hand upwards.

The iron cage was like a piece of plasticine thrown high, it suddenly rose up a bit, and some places were even pulled.

An Shichu's body froze and slowly loosened his hand.

"That..." he said timidly, "Lu Qian, this railing, well, listen to my explanation..."

Mowing at his new nails, the mermaid's smile froze, and he murmured, "I suddenly feel that this world is still too dangerous for fish!"

He suddenly hugged his own skin and moaned, "I'm really going to lose my pearls!"

Lu Qian stretched out his hand and brushed the railing, and could still feel the hot temperature of the steel being forcibly stretched...

His head was dizzy.

No wonder An Shichu was not nervous about the auction at all, and kept emphasizing that he didn't need to run.

He himself is a psychic, and even a powerful attack psychic!

Being able to play with fine iron to this extent is even several times stronger than his amplified power.

He thought about how he had repeatedly despised An Shichu for being weak, weak, and crybaby, and even sincerely considered sending him to a mental hospital.

Lu Qian: “………………”

The feeling of shame and anger almost overwhelmed this child who had just grown up.

Lu Qian’s tail hair exploded, and he suddenly closed his eyes.

In front of him, the chestnut-haired boy nervously pinched his cheeks.

It’s been too long since he used his ability, he himself doesn’t even know how strong it is now. He only moved slightly and the cage became crooked...

Lu Qian probably didn’t think that he deliberately made such a big scene to mock him, and was so angry that he cried?

Probably not...

Probably not...

An Shichu: I really didn’t mean it QAQ, I just wanted to change my posture!

Hehehe, it’s finally time to do something big! This time it’s a college team battle (?)

The red envelopes for the previous chapter have been sent, this chapter 20~

I hope you don’t make me fat, bam~
