Chapter 15: Destroying the Illusion, The Lantern Holder
The same thing happened to other members of the Bureau of Intelligence. They all met Wang Chuang who was pretending to be a companion. They were attacked by surprise and suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Only Zhou Xu, who had keen intuition, acted resolutely, and decisively shot the fake "Zhao Keke", was able to escape the murderous hands.
Does it smell like blood?
Someone from the Bureau of Intelligence was injured.
Yang Qizhou narrowed his eyes. He may be the only person in the community who has not been attacked by 'Wang Chuang'.
Due to the mysterious power, Yang Qizhou was unable to observe the current status of the members of the 'Conspiracy Bureau', but with the power of [Kan Rui's Wizard Ring], he could still vaguely smell the blood.
"This 'Wang Chuang' is not an ordinary player, he should be a master who has obtained powerful props from the [World of Conspiracy]."
"The Bureau of Conspiracy has hit a brick wall."
"Even if they were able to arrest the other party, I'm afraid the result would be heavy casualties."
The moonlight mixed with the lights shines on the body, and the figure is uncertain in light and dark, making it appear extremely mysterious.
The strange chirping of the 'Dark Crow of Misfortune' was echoing in his mind, and Yang Qizhou was ready to roll back, erase all traces, and escape from his current fate.
Everything that needs to be clarified has been clarified, and many of the doubts in my heart have been answered. If I continue to stay, I will not only run the risk of having my file read overwritten, but I may also be involved in the current crisis.
In fact, Yang Qizhou still has a good impression of the 'Conspiracy Bureau'.
They lurk in the darkness, fight against all kinds of weird and terrifying things, and protect the ordinary world from being violated. Yang Qizhou wouldn't mind helping them if conditions permit.
But now that he has just come into contact with the game, even if he is better than ordinary players, he is still limited. The risk of his identity being exposed is too great.
Yang Qizhou would never be able to put his own safety over the good and evil of others, so until he was strong enough to ignore all threats, he would hide himself as much as possible.
It was just Yang Qizhou's raising of his hand that startled his eyes in the darkness, making him think that this mysterious man who had followed in secret was about to take action.
"This is between me and 'them'. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise I will kill you too." A voice came from an unknown direction in the dark night. It was low, evil, cruel, crazy, and a little scary.
.
Am I... being threatened?
Yang Qizhou stopped snapping his fingers, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
"Wang Chuang?"
"yes."
"Were you threatening me just now?"
"This is not a threat, but a warning. Of course, you have to consider it a threat."
The man hiding in the darkness was hunched over, holding a strange and incomplete wooden statue in his hand. This wooden statue seemed to be a living thing, connected to countless ferocious vines like blood vessels, densely packed, piercing the man's arm.
It exudes a purple-black atmosphere full of evil, which is both scary and crazy.
In fact, 'Wang Chuang' had already discovered Yang Qizhou who had come in secretly. The reason why he did not attack him like he did against the members of the 'Conspiracy Bureau' was because he felt threatened by Yang Qizhou.
It's just that Wang Chuang's spirit was contaminated by "old things" and he was in a semi-mad state, with limited remaining sanity.
So when he saw Yang Qizhou taking action, he thought that the other party was trying to meddle in other people's business, so his attitude was like that of a kitten with hairy fur, and his words were very extreme.
threaten me?
Yang Qizhou also smiled. Because his eyes were filled with fierceness and his fists were clenched with veins bulging out, his smile looked extremely ferocious.
"Actually, I am usually quite sensible. I seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, analyze the pros and cons, a gentleman does not stand under dangerous walls, and a man can bend and stretch. I can do all these things."
"There's just one shortcoming... I can't bear to be angry."
"I remember when I was in school, there was a bully who always bullied my classmates. At that time, I didn't want to cause trouble, and I also felt that it wasn't worth standing up for them because I wasn't on good terms with my classmates, so I always avoided the bully, until one day the bully
They bullied me, and if I said anything they would take my pocket money away and slap me in the face."
"You know what I did?"
"I picked up a brick and held on to the bully, beating me randomly. At that time, a dozen boys around the bully punched and kicked me, but they didn't pull me away."
"The bully was beaten half to death by me."
Yang Qizhou didn't know when a copper lamp appeared in his hand, and the fire light lit up inside, illuminating the deep dark night.
Ancient God Fire Lamp (Excellent): An instrument used by fire-stealing villagers to steal fire. It needs 'fire' to light and activate. It contains a little power of the ancient fire-stealing god, which can dispel the illusion in the fog and see the real scenery clearly.
There was also a hint of helplessness and ferocity in his voice.
"I just want to leave quietly, why are you threatening me?"
…
the other side.
At this time, the situation of the members of the "Conspiracy Bureau" was not good. The ability of the old objects in the hands of "Wang Chuang" was too weird. First, he separated everyone and hid them, and then sometimes pretended to be companions.
Bureau members will suddenly launch an attack when they relax their vigilance. Sometimes, two members of the Bureau of Conspiracy will be put together and the two will fight against each other under the mistaken belief that the other is fake.
Not only that,
‘Wang Chuang’ will also use psychological offensives to always inform members of the Bureau of Intelligence about the situation of his partners. For example, Zhao Keke was stabbed in the stomach and bleeding profusely and is in danger, for example, Brother Chen’s arm has been broken, and for example...
"Wang Chuang, you bastard, come out if you have the ability."
Zhou Xu roared, but he was very pessimistic in his heart. He did not expect that the information given by the bureau would be wrong. Although the 'old things' in the target's hands were of the lowest grade, their activation level was obviously very high.
Zhao Keke is bleeding profusely, and other members have also been injured to varying degrees. If this continues, everyone will die here.
Just then something unexpected happened.
A copper lamp appeared and lit up the entire night. Even Zhou Xu couldn't understand how a lamp that was already on could shine brighter than the sun.
The surrounding scenery is also distorting and changing, as if the falsehood has been torn apart, revealing the complete reality.
The members of the Bureau of Intelligence who had disappeared also appeared in the field of vision.
"Zhou Tou, I almost searched the whole neighborhood and couldn't find you. You, you are so close to me."
"Stop talking nonsense now, give me treatment quickly. She will die after bleeding for a while."
"This Wang Chuang is so abominable. He even pretended to be Zhou Tou and attacked me when I was unprepared. If it weren't for the 'sixth sense frequency' I obtained when I was gifted by fate, which warned me of danger, I would have died."
"Everyone, look over there."
At this moment, the false illusion created by the 'old objects' in Wang Chuang's hand has been completely shattered by the effect of the 'Ancient God Fire Lamp', and the most realistic scene is presented in front of everyone.
They saw a mysterious figure hiding in the dark night and filled with moonlight at the gate of the community. Because the distance was too far, they could not see his face clearly. He was holding a copper lamp in his hand, and the flickering light highlighted this person.
Must be extremely mysterious.
He was retreating, his figure gradually being submerged in the night, and he was about to disappear.
"Wait a minute, brother..."
Seeing that the mysterious man holding the lantern was about to disappear, Zhou Xu anxiously wanted to catch up with him, but unfortunately he was a step too late, as the man had already blended into the night.
The mysterious man's strange and cunning methods had a big impact on the hearts of the members of the "Conspiracy Bureau". They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"Zhou Tou, look quickly, it's 'Wang Chuang'."
One of the members of the 'Conspiracy Bureau' suddenly discovered something and shouted with shock in his voice.
Zhou Xu and others subconsciously looked over and saw a young man trembling and huddled in the corner, with bruises on his face. He had obviously been beaten badly.
"Tou Zhou, well, that mysterious man was very cruel. It looks like he was seriously injured."
Zhao Keke said fiercely: "I think it would be better if you beat her to death. I was almost stabbed to death by him, and his heart was roasted alive."
There happened to be a member of the team who was good at healing. After some treatment, her bleeding stopped, her strength recovered, and her fiery temper came back.
"Zhou Tou, it seems that the person just now is not a registered player, and he is so strong that he easily solved the illusion that we were helpless in. Could it be that he is also a member of secret organizations such as the 'Secret Order' and the 'Hermit Society'?"
It was Lao Chen who spoke, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Zhou Xu shook his head and turned his attention to Wang Chuang, the target of arrest. "Let's push him back first. Be careful to store the 'old things' and be careful not to cause any accidents."
"What should we do about the mysterious man just now?" Lao Chen asked, and the others also looked at Zhou Xu.
"Report it and be listed as one of the unknown 'players'. The rating is tentatively assigned to A, and the code name is...Lamp Bearer."
a?
Everyone present was a little shocked, because this rating was too high. Among the unknowable player files recorded in the entire Bureau of Conspiracy, there were no more than 10 players who could be rated as A, second only to those who only exist in legends and have never really appeared.
S-class.
But I could imagine the moonlight shining from the mysterious man's body, holding a copper lamp in his hand, and the candlelight shattering the false illusion.
They also felt that this evaluation was not an exaggeration.
