Zeref froze on the spot, Li Nuo slipped away too fast for him to keep up.

"What...?"

While muttering to himself, he looked at the competition invitation in his hand.

What does it mean to win by lying down, what does it mean to be a winner in life? A person who still thinks about watching late-night shows when everyone else is fighting, a person who never thought about getting the highest reward. As a result, he failed in both the main mission and the player killing stage.

Became the final winner.

This is called a winner in life.

"Bullshit..."

Everything happened so fast, like a man in a...ahem...tornado.

Zeref was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey!" Shang Jun woke him up and accused: "Didn't you see that there is a woman who can't move!?"

Only then did Zeref put the invitation away stupidly. As a special letter, the invitation could not be put in his backpack. He inserted it into his pocket, walked up to Shang Jun, squatted down to be level with his face, stared at it for a while and finally said:

"You're not a player?"

The stage of strife ordered the two of them to survive, so Zeref also understood that the woman in front of him was probably not the "player" he thought.

Shang Jun's eyes were seductive, "After staring at me for so long, I thought you fell in love with me~"

Zeref was unmoved. Although he liked late-night shows, he knew when to quit and when to indulge. He asked coldly: "Who are you?"

"I'll tell you later. Before that, do you want to get reinforcements to help us first?"

Zeref also knew that time was running out. The "wall" that blocked the outside world had disappeared. The sound of helicopter propellers in the sky had already broken the silence. A large number of police were rushing in, so he would not say more.

He took out a firework tube and lit it.

Dazzling fireworks exploded in the night sky, illuminating the mess.

Everyone involved in this incident saw the fireworks exploding in the sky.

"This...?" The police chief poked his head out of the car. The incident had caused such a big fuss, and now fireworks were being set off again. He was completely confused. He could only urge the police team to speed up, seal off the scene, and break into the investigation.

.

Sorimachi was still lying down, his blurred vision was awakened by the sudden color in the sky, and then the sound of police sirens broke into his ears.

When Damen and Weipu arrived, the police were not there yet.

Shang Jun remained silent and handed the letter left by Li Nuo to Wei Pu.

A few miles away from here, Li Nuo took off his mask, changed his clothes, hid in a dark alley, and smiled as he watched the fireworks disappear in the sky.

"Just think of it as seeing me off."

He turned around and left, walking out of the alley. The street was noisy due to the turmoil tonight, and his trace gradually disappeared in the flow of people.

…

A few hours later, in front of an old bungalow.

This is the house that Marjie rented before Li Nuo and the others went to the Philippines. They asked Wei Pu to send the invitation letter here.

Li Nuo opened the small mailbox in front of the door, and a white letter lay inside.

"Hey~"

Without hesitation, Li Nuo directly opened the mailbox and left with the tin box containing the letters.

…

"The terrorist attack that occurred late at night has attracted the attention of all countries. In the hours after the incident, 42 people were injured and 15 people died. All medical forces in Tokyo are now being mobilized for emergency rescue."

The midday news is being broadcast on TV, and the "terrorist attack" at night must be the top priority.

"Reporters please connect to the scene."

The scene turned, and the police commissioner was standing in front of the camera wearing a thick search and rescue suit, with a dozen reporters surrounding him holding microphones.

"Here, I apologize to everyone for the police safety in Tokyo. We have blocked all the main roads in and out of Tokyo. It is necessary to catch all suspects. As for..."

"Excuse me, can you confirm how many terrorists are involved now?"

The reporter interrupted him. No one wanted to hear the official talk. What everyone wanted to know was the truth.

"This... we can only confirm for the time being that the number of people at large is shrinking."

"Can it be revealed who caused this attack?"

"We can't for the time being..."

"Witnesses said that the situation at the scene was that several people with firearms were attacking each other. The death toll did not match the number of injured and the number given in the report. Is there any official explanation on this?"

"Please believe in our power."

"Who attacked Fuji TV?"

"..."

"How do you explain the flying dragon that people saw?"

"..."

The TV was turned off, and Zeref put the remote control on the tatami, smiling awkwardly with empty eyes, "The poor old guy was completely pushed out by the higher authorities and made a scapegoat."

"There is nothing we can do about this matter." Daimon sat cross-legged in front of the TV and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for the government to tell the people about the Sound Nest. The largest terrorist organization can create clone legions and use Tokyo as an enhanced warrior.

The screening and assessment venue sounds too ridiculous."

"Yeah...it's so ridiculous..." Zeref laughed guiltily.

He and Shang Jun temporarily pushed all the incidents to Yinchao. Just three clones of Kusanagi Kyo appeared to set up a perfect evidence for this lie. He didn't want to lie, and he was even not used to lying, but he had no choice, because the truth behind it was bigger than the truth behind it.

The lies are even more ridiculous.

Damen asked: "What are your plans next?"

Zeref looked hesitant, "Planning..."

"Do you want to form a team with us? It just so happens that Jing is not here, and we need a foreign aid as a substitute to participate in the fighting competition, and also to settle this debt with SoundChat."

The words from the door made Zeref's lips twitch, and he immediately refused the invitation.

The competition invitation was still stuffed in his trouser pocket. The more Zeref thought about it, the more he couldn't understand why the guy gave it to him.

Either he gave in because he didn't want to fight, or... that guy already had a way to get the invitation. Zeref's first impression was the former. After all, even if he attached himself to Team Fury, it was too difficult to get an invitation, and even more so.

Besides, there is only half a day until the end of the main plot, where can we find it? This is impossible.

There was another thing that caught his attention. Who was Shang Jun? Even when they separated, he didn't get a definite answer from Shang Jun, but there was a vague suspicion that was being suppressed in his heart.

.

"I'll go for a walk."

Zeref left the house. In the quaint courtyard, he looked at the small fish swimming in the fish pond, trying to calm down his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

The system prompted him that a player had received an invitation, and a face flashed in his mind.

Zeref's expression was complicated. He didn't mutter to himself until he fell into deep thought: "He really got it... This guy is a bit incredible..."

…

Weipu stood outside the bungalow where Li Nuo handed over his address.

She looked at the dismantled mailbox and frowned. Suddenly, the whip in her hand was swung, the courtyard door was split open, and a crack was opened in the asphalt road.

Holding the blood-stained letter in his hand, Wei Pu unfolded it and read it again with a deep gaze.

"Fool……"

She tore up the letter and turned back to the Nu team's off-road vehicle waiting on the roadside. She closed the door and said coldly: "Find a place where you can drink."

Clark was shocked, but looked at Vipu's gloomy face and dared not say anything else.

The car started slowly, and Ralph looked at Shang Jun, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, feeling deeply satisfied and happy. He and Vip formed a world of ice and fire in the small car.

"Vip." Lianna, who had been silent and was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "What did your brother say in the letter he left for you?"

"Take care of his two friends, and..." Wei paused, then shook her head slightly, "It's nothing."

She then looked at the person sitting next to her and said, "It took a lot of effort to get you out of the police station, so it is necessary to confirm with you again whether you have decided to join us?"

"Well, as long as I can find Yamazaki Ryuji, I am willing to become a mercenary." Sorimachi looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. At this point, he would say goodbye to his hometown of evil, and he was grateful to Li Nuo for making everything possible.

"Okay!" Wei Pu shouted, waking up Shang Jun from his sleep.

"Go to the tavern to welcome the newcomers! No one can leave until they drink to pieces!"

"Vip! Calm down!"

…

Li Nuo stood on the balcony of a commercial building and watched Vipu leave through a high-powered telescope.

"Fortunately I ran early..."

The iron box of the mailbox lay at his feet, holding an invitation to the fighting competition in his hand.

Take out the pocket watch from your pocket and press it open with a click. On the dial, the hour and minute hands are about to overlap.
