"How long do we have to wait here?"
Time went back to a little bit ago. In the innermost room on the third floor of the villa, several figures were sitting around. One of them blankly took back what he was trying to monitor in front of him.
Surrounded by the empty bed for several days: "Is it okay to wait like this?"
"She will definitely come back." He was answered by a player who looked like a thief standing in the corner of the room with his arms crossed and his back leaning against his chest: "Even in this day and age, there is no guild that can break through that place.
No one showed up, let alone her alone, with no strength and no equipment... blah."
"It's just that I seem to have better luck than others." As if he remembered something that had happened here before, the thief player's face became a little ugly: "But that's not the Starwind Plain, she has no chance.
Survival is possible.”
"Then, what if that guy is cheating?" The player who asked the question before asked hesitantly: "What if she didn't go in at all, but returned the same way while we weren't paying attention?"
"Shh!"
After signaling to the other NPC-like guards who were also waiting here, the thief player who issued the warning then withdrew his vigilant eyes: "Anyway, we have left people near the central square. If we find her, we will definitely kill her."
Someone will take care of it."
"There are storms in the depths of the Endless Sea, and there is no way she can survive safely." The thief who looked like a captain lowered his voice, and carefully whispered to the approaching player teammates: "The light contains the element
The sea breeze with toxins is not something that ordinary people can bear, and coupled with those legendary deep-sea monsters... even the escape route of jumping into the sea has long been blocked by countless experiments by the advance team.
"
"Is that Bridge of Miracles really a place that our players can pass through?"
Seemingly mentioning a topic that he was quite interested in, the player who approached the corner then looked at the thief captain in front of him expectantly: "I heard that as long as we can break through this bridge, we can find endless wealth and wealth.
A tremendous strength……"
"Do you dare to believe those rumors that have been twisted countless times?" The thief player responded with a look of disdain: "Let you people describe these false stories, and I'm afraid it will turn into a golden continent before long.
, a land of immortals with beauties like clouds or something like that...I will tell you about my solo journey of hundreds of miles today!"
"There's nothing on the other side of that bridge!"
Pointing to the dark golden dagger beside his waist, the thief player announced with a stern look to the other players waiting here: "There is no gold, no wealth, and no endless power! Don't mess around after you go out.
There are rumors, have you heard it?”
"Listen, I heard it, boss!"
Standing up involuntarily, the other players waiting in the room stood at attention and replied seriously. However, as the voice fell, the silent and strange atmosphere began to slowly spread in the small room, and finally
It ended with a small question: "Yes, but so many advance teams have already tried it..."
"If you were also a member of the so-called advance team, you would also brag about your adventures on the Bridge of Miracles." The disdain on his face became more obvious, and Baili crossed his arms again.
Duyou snorted coldly and said: "This is the bad nature of human beings. Although there is nothing great about them, they always like to brag about their abilities to the sky... Humph."
His voice became lower and lower, and finally he muttered as if he was talking to himself: "Just wait, after I really become stronger, I will definitely let you taste the power of me traveling hundreds of miles alone, okay
Teach you to dare to send me such a stupid task again...what are you looking at?"
"Keep your eyes open and guard me!"
With a wave of his hand, he turned the eyes of several players and teammates who were hurriedly dodging to the bed in front of him: "If something stupid like the last time happens again, I won't protect anyone! Get them all packed up and leave.
people!"
"Don't worry, we won't let her slip away from us this time!" A teammate near the edge of the bed in front hurriedly patted his chest and said, "The entire villa is covered from the inside to the third floor.
On the outer third floor, even the Demon Company has invited people over, so how could something unexpected happen?"
"That female doll is very cunning. She must know that we are guarding her here." Pointing to the bed not far in front of him that represents the resurrection point, Baili Duyou said with a gloomy expression: "If she plans to die,
If she plans to teleport back, she must be ready to deal with us."
"With the boss Baili Duyou here, what thief can escape your pursuit, hahahaha." The other teammates took advantage of the opportunity to flatter the thief captain: "As long as the boss is here to control the situation,
We must make sure that little girl who knows nothing about heaven and earth will never come back. No, she will be nailed here forever. First, we will peel off a few layers of her skin and let her taste the pain of death..."
The sound of compliments and chest-slapping echoed one after another in the room, and the awkward atmosphere that had been silent became lively. The player who came closer at first was worried, but he was still looking around uneasily.
He finally broke the happy atmosphere with a cautious question: "I still feel that something is wrong. It has been such a long time. If you want to die and come back, you should have come back long ago."
"Did she change her rebirth point?" The voice then gave everyone present a blow: "For example, she changed a room to rest while she was locked up here, or she slipped into a certain place while being chased by us.
Inside a tavern..."
"Holy shit!"
His eyes widened wider and wider, and Baili Duyou's expression became more exciting: "Why didn't I think something was wrong? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Then didn't we stay here for so long in vain?"
"I, I just thought of it." Cold sweat continued to flow down the face of the player who was stared at by several people: "And does this possibility really exist? At that time, we were chasing
She seems to have been chasing her very closely..."
"Calm down, calm down." Following the other party's thoughts, he forced himself to suppress the roar in his mind. The wrinkles on Baili Duyou's forehead became deeper and deeper as the corners of his eyes tangled: "I really didn't see it at the time.
She passed by some pub, or sneaked into other people's homes, and it was almost impossible to do anything in that tense state of chasing and escaping."
"The rest is in this villa!" He suddenly raised his head and looked at the other people present with a serious look: "You! Have any of you ever moved her to another room? Or accidentally let her go?
She slipped into another room."
"No, another room? Hahahaha, it's been so long, who can still remember it?"
"Yes, this villa is so big. When I was looking after her, I just found a place to put her in. Even if she had moved her position, it should have been before she escaped... Uh, this kind of resting place
Does the setting require any confirmation procedures?”
"Find it for me!"
Gritting his teeth and wiping the veins on his forehead under the roar, Baili Duyou stood up and shouted an order to the others who still wanted to be with Xini: "No matter what! Check all the rooms first.
!Then ask the headquarters for people to guard all other places in this villa!"
"Yes!" Amidst the scenes of teammates responding hurriedly, some tentative questions still quietly echoed in the thief's ears: "Then, what about other places in Freedom City?"
"Ignore Free City for now, the president is negotiating with the second best person in the world anyway." Baili Duyou said with an embarrassed look: "I still know about their enmity with that little girl. As long as we can deal with them,
No corner of the city can escape our grasp.”
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The screams before death echoed in everyone's ears, and the close proximity of the next door made everyone including the thief captain instantly soaked in cold sweat. Baili Duyou, who was gritting his teeth, then stretched out his hand to pull the hair from his waist.
He took off his weapon and rushed out of the door not far away from him at a speed that ordinary people could not match: "Who!"
The open door of the next room flashed by in front of his eyes, and the scene of a teammate who had been stabbed in the chest and fell to the ground appeared in front of the thief. Holding the death dagger tightly, he suddenly raised his head and focused his gaze on the target.
On the high open window on the opposite side that was blowing in the autumn wind, the sound of alarms quickly spread around the villa, along with the figures of countless guards in black scattering towards every corner of the area.
The figure belonging to Baili Wandering Alone appeared outside the window the next moment, and fell in an extremely high arc towards the streets and alleys outside the villa: "You guys"
"Don't even think about running away!"
In the field of vision that quickly flashed, a vaguely flashing white shirt also appeared at the edge of the corner in front of the villa area. Baili Duyou, who rolled to the ground, suddenly got up at a faster speed and took two seconds.
He quickly rushed to the corner and said, "Stop."
The speed seemed to be faster than he imagined. The figure he had tracked earlier had already disappeared at the next corner. With a fierce look in his eyes, he clapped his hands together.
The body also flashed with layers of yellow light bursting out: "Agility burst!"
"Death steps!"
The yellow energy light instantly engulfed the outline of Baili Duyou's body, and his entire body began to become blurred. The footprints that appeared vaguely in front of the road also disappeared completely with the body, heading towards
The direction of the dark alley where the next corner is located quickly extends away. The distance is quickly shortened by the extension of each footprint, and the body belonging to the thief player then quickly moves in the alley between the villas as if teleporting.
Taking shape, the shaky vision like a phantom then transformed into a clear real world. With the proud laughter of a hundred miles alone, he broke out of the dark alley in an instant: "Don't think that I am a fighting thief.
I can’t keep up with your speed!”
The laughter then turned into a scream. He hurriedly raised the dagger in his hand, and then a ribbon of light flashed in front of him, emitting into dazzling sparks in the collision of metal: "
Varied"
"Sir, you have an order not to let Ninglan hurt anyone at will."
A faint voice then appeared in the series of metal sparks. Baili Duyou, who was hit hard, hurriedly looked up, but all he saw was the series of shadows belonging to Ninglan in the secret language: "So, Ninglan had no choice but to
Taught you a lesson."
"Where did this arrogant person come from?" He tried his best to block the attacks that appeared around him like ghosts one after another. The surprise on Baili Duyou's face was later replaced by manic anger: "You still want to teach me a lesson?"
Sir, I am just relying on this level of strength."
The hairs that stood on end were all over his body, and at the same time, the words that the thief was about to say stopped in mid-air. A faint thread-like tremor was then accompanied by the gradual approach of some kind of existence, slowly and
She moved closer to his neck firmly: "I heard from sir that the dagger in your hand is called the Embrace of Death. It is the first legendary weapon in the free world, and its power is as terrifying as the God of Death...
"
"But do you really know what Death looks like?"
The woman's voice kept echoing around the corner of the deserted dark alley, and her gentle tone was like a quietly approaching scythe: "Are you a messenger of death? Or an ordinary thief?"
"You, you, come out!" Baili Duyou, who blocked the dagger in front of himself and kept looking around, still couldn't completely dispel the coldness around his neck: "What's the point of pretending to be a ghost?
?You have the guts to stand up to me!"
"Haha, you really are a second-rate person."
The murderous intention seemed to have turned into reality, sending the last low laughter behind Baili Duyou. The murmuring sounds that originally echoed in his ears also lost their hazy meaning, and they sounded extremely real from the back of his neck.
A flash: "So"
"Please accept this lesson."
With a final scream, Baili Duyou, who was wielding a dagger, suddenly drew a golden light behind him. This counterattack that had gathered all his strength seemed to be filled with murderous intent that kept approaching him.
The ground collided together, and then passed through the silent air silently. The autumn wind gradually turned into a normal one and then returned to the dark alleys of this villa area, carrying the code words Ninglan finally left behind
The slight smile disappeared into the distance that could not be seen. Feeling the chill gradually disappearing, Baili Duyou held up the dagger and breathed heavily for a while, and finally turned his fearful and sighing eyes to Already
At the end of the alley where no one could be seen: "...Damn it."
“In the end, I didn’t even see the other party’s name.”
