At the same time, Gao Fei, who had just completed the teleportation, also heard the sound of gunshots. Without thinking, he transformed into a large wind element, switched to a whirlwind form, and roared and hovered against the sea.
The sea water was rolled up by the cyclone, forming a spectacular seaspout, which not only blew away the bullets fired by the gangsters, but also forced the four nearby gangsters into the eye of the storm, spinning in the air and letting out heart-rending screams.
Vlad suddenly changed his expression, and hurriedly used "Control Water", trying to create a vortex with the opposite direction of rotation under the seaspout incarnate as Goofy to resist the strong gravity generated by the tornado.
"terhat!"
Lisa seized the right opportunity, raised her hand and fired a "dispelling spell".
The green light curtain swept past and successfully dispelled Vlad's spell.
Almost at the same time, the young knight also finished casting the spell, and blasted a "water pressure ball" at the feet of Vlad and the three gangsters around him.
Peng!
The high-pressure water ball exploded, and the shock wave stirred up huge waves, overturning Vlad and others onto the sea.
Gao Fei took the opportunity to pounce forward, sucking Vlad and his henchmen into the tornado, and continued to strangle them for half a minute before throwing them out and falling to the beach, all wet.
All seven gangsters died.
Only Vlad was left alive, and he was breathing more out and less in. He lay on the beach and fell into a semi-conscious state.
Goofy returned to his human form and took Lisa's hand back to the beach. Just as he was about to thank the young knight and ask for his name and background, a whistle suddenly sounded on the pier.
The young knight turned his head and glanced, then immediately slapped his forehead and shouted.
"Wow! Oops! My ship is about to leave, wait for me!"
Without saying a word, he ran towards the dock.
"Hey! Wait a minute - we'll take you to the boat!"
Goofy wanted to call the young knight to stop and ask Lisa to use the "any door" to send him back to the dock, which would be faster.
However, the frivolous young man did not look back at all, and did not have time to listen to his explanation. He ran away in a flash and disappeared.
Watching him disappear over the pier, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel funny.
Lisa looked at the back of the young knight and said to herself: "That boy looks a bit familiar... strange, who does he look like?"
She frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't remember, so she had to give up.
As soon as the young knight left, Paul teleported over with Umberto and Claire.
Gao Fei wanted to complain about Paul's unreliability, but delayed bringing reinforcements until the end of the battle.
However, when I thought about it, I couldn't blame Paul.
If it were in reality, using teleportation magic to move rescue soldiers, it would take less than a minute to go back and forth.
However, I am in the game after all, and Paul and his entourage are belatedly arriving, which is completely a mandatory arrangement of the game plot.
Just imagine, if Paul had brought in reinforcements earlier, "Archangel" Umberto could have killed all the gangsters by himself, so why would it be the turn of the young knight who came out halfway to act chivalrously?
In order to introduce this important NPC, the game screenwriter could only delay the arrival of reinforcements. This was not a smart move, but Gao Fei could understand it.
"Musk! Lisa! Are you injured?" Claire asked with concern.
"We are fine, Sister Claire. Thanks to a kind knight who helped us defeat the robbers," Lisa said.
"Knight? Where is he?" Claire looked around.
"He has left, and he didn't even tell us his name."
Gao Fei came over and briefly described the appearance of the young knight to dress him up.
Claire didn't react at all, but Umberto was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and muttered: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"What's the matter, Brother Umberto?" Gao Fei asked casually.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking." Umberto smiled and shook his head.
Gao Fei opens the astrolabe and looks at the task list.
The main mission of defeating the killer has been completed, but there is no new mission about the young knight. It seems that this clue can only end here for the time being.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
He retracted his thoughts, walked to the beach, and searched the body of the alchemist warrior "Torrent" Vlad. The trophies he obtained included a set of refined chain mail, two refined scimitars, three bottles of healing potion, and two 1-demon weapons.
Crystal pistol.
Goofy is still using a refined pistol, which has been replaced by an enchanted pistol of 1 and put into the "storage gloves".
Claire whipped Vlad, woke him up, and began to interrogate him.
At first, Vlad tried to get away with it, claiming that he and his accomplices saw Gao Fei, Lisa and Paul, who were well-dressed and not locals. They thought they were rich kids who came to the island for vacation, so they started to rob them.
I just wanted to make some extra money.
Not even Lisa, the polygraph expert, could fool Claire with such a crude lie, so he was given a good whipping.
Lisa performed "Guided Confession" next to her, forcing Vlad to tell the truth.
The truth was as expected. This well-known bounty hunter and professional killer was indeed paid to do things, and his employer specified that he should get rid of Musk Justice.
Lisa and Paul were not on the employer's hunting list, but Vlad's party didn't mind getting rid of these two troublesome guys.
"Who is your employer?"
"I don't know..." Vlad replied weakly, "We have rules in this industry. We cannot inquire about the employer's identity. The employer will not interview us. He will only send an agent to deliver messages and money."
"Who is the agent who delivers the message?"
"His name is 'Scarface' Alonzo. He is a fellow countryman of mine and works as a boatswain on the freighter 'Good Luck'."
Vlad's confession made everyone look at each other in shock.
Including Gao Fei, no one expected that the mastermind behind the murder was actually right next to them.
Next, the game plot enters the cutscene stage.
Gao Fei can only watch the show from God's perspective and cannot control the words and deeds of the protagonist Musk.
Based on past game experience, this often means that the main storyline of the game is about to undergo a major turning point.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the main plot, the system forcibly deprives the player of control over the protagonist. The fear is that the player will mess around and make crazy behavior that the game designer did not expect, causing the game to freeze and no matter how good the drama is later, it will not be performed.
After the interrogation, everyone's eyes were focused on Umberto's face, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Umberto frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Gao Fei: "Brother Musk, let's escort the prisoners back to the ship and confront Alenzo! If this matter is true, there must be someone behind Alenzo's back.
There is also a big fish, we must track it down to the end!"
"Okay, Brother Umberto."
Musk gave Paul a wink.
Paul nodded knowingly, activated the "Teleportation Ring", and led everyone to collectively teleport to the deck of the freighter "Good Luck".
