Driving back to the rented apartment, Luo Jie took out the key and opened the door. The moment the keyhole was turned, an unusual and slight feeling of sluggishness caused his [supersensory intuition] to sound an alarm.
It's a trap!
Luo Jie jumped sideways without hesitation. At the same time, the explosion flames shot out from the broken door. The loud noise caused the glass to shatter, and the choking smoke and dust filled the entire corridor.
[You have been attacked by the player "BOOM Artist", and this world can counterattack without limit. 】
Are there any players?
Luo Jie lowered his body, and several [Ghost Pipe Foxes] flew in all directions dragging their long black mist-like tails, searching for suspicious people around them.
However, there was no follow-up attack. It was obvious that the other party had just set up such a bomb trap and was not nearby.
"Hunter? Or mechanic?"
Both of these professions are good at using traps. The only difference is the degree of specialization. Judging from the opponent's style of just setting traps and not confirming the results, the latter is more likely.
Luo Jie raised his hand and threw out a [Holy Heal], healing the internal organs that were violently shocked by the explosion.
The [Mechanicist] profession has almost no melee ability bonus, instead it has a variety of insanely powerful trap skills. If it takes advantage of the home field, it can even cross-level PK or kill monsters.
It is a profession with extreme advantages and disadvantages.
The huge explosion alarmed the residents in the apartment building, and the billowing smoke even triggered the fire alarm. Residents who did not know what was going on rushed along the fire escape with their families, and gathered downstairs to whisper and watch.
"Oops! Kirisu Mafuyu!"
Only then did Luo Jie suddenly remember that he had not seen the beautiful teacher next door "Kirisu Mafuyu" run out of the room.
Could it be that he was too close to the explosion point and was stunned in the room?
Luo Jie didn't care much, he flew forward and kicked open the door, only to see that there was no one in the room.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a map of Tokyo on the floor of the entrance hall, with a familiar bouquet of long pink hair pinned to the position of "Mt. Takao" by thumbtacks.
"Hostages..."
Luo Jie raised the corners of his mouth, suddenly feeling that this matter had become interesting.
Obviously, while he was busy expanding his world view and looking for side quests, a little oriole stared at him.
However, perhaps due to insufficient information, the little oriole made two small flaws in his judgment.
The first is his relationship with "Kirisu Mafuyu".
Luo Jiede admitted that at first he did want to go over and use the spiritual light of this beautiful teacher, but due to the unexpected activation of the "Gui Yanye" branch line, he did not have much time and energy to pay attention to this "Tirsu Mafuyu", so he simply
Just gave it up.
But the player hiding in the dark obviously only noticed the subtle proximity between the two people, and unilaterally believed that he had received some special mission, and overestimated the importance of "Mafuyu Kirisu" to him.
The second is that the opponent misjudged his level.
If this player hiding in the dark dares to set up a trap in his home, it means that the other party has been observing him for a long time and has at least confirmed that his level is not lower than level three before he takes action so unscrupulously to avoid triggering the system's newcomer protection.
It's just that the opponent didn't expect that his real level was not level three, but level four.
This is Luo Jie's biggest advantage at present, and it is also the biggest mistake that "BOOM artist" has made.
Now he faces two choices - to save people or not to save them.
To be fair, he only had a casual acquaintance with "Kirisu Mafuyu", and the favorability score of this beautiful teacher has not reached 60 points yet.
Moreover, "Ichinose Academy" is only a springboard to enter "Swaying Village". He will soon transfer to "Goucha Academy". It is basically difficult for the characters in "We Can't Study Together" to interact with each other again.
Already.
It is absolutely stupid to rush into a home field where players have carefully set traps for the sake of an NPC who is almost a stranger.
But after much thought, Luo Jie decided to take a trip to Mount Takao.
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief in a thousand days.
At this moment, this "BOOM artist" has just captured an insignificant "Mafuyu Kirisu". Whether the rescue is successful or failed, it has no impact on Luo Jie.
But if "Kirisu Mafuyu" is given up this time, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not target the really important "Kasuru Kanha". By then, he will have no skills at the "Five Car Academy". If the opponent really catches the opportunity and hijacks it,
"Gui Yanye", the rescue at that time was really a weapon that could be used against rats.
…
Takao Mountain is about fifty kilometers away from Dongjing city, and it was more than an hour later when Luo Jie drove to the foot of the mountain.
As you step onto the flat stone steps under the dim moonlight, the wind-swaying dense forest on both sides casts countless strange black shadows, and occasionally the hooting of owls permeates, making the atmosphere even more eerie and eerie.
Gala——!
On the stone steps above, a short Jizo statue suddenly moved, turning out to be an exquisite wooden machine.
The mechanism man seemed to have only set simple instructions to guide the way. After getting up, he ignored Luo Jie at the foot of the steps and walked step by step towards the depths of the dense forest like a clumsy toddler.
Luo Jie smiled indifferently and followed the mechanism man without hesitation.
Didn't encounter any traps along the way.
After about a few hundred meters into the dense forest, the machine man in front fell to the ground and fell apart as if losing power. Luo Jie saw "Kirisu Mafuyu" who was blindfolded and tied to a tree.
In the open space ahead, two men, one tall and one short, stood.
The short man is chubby, with greasy facial features and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses. He looks very much like the kind of otaku who often appears at doujinshi sales sites, and his appearance is very confusing.
The other man has an extremely exaggerated figure.
He is over two meters tall in height alone. The surface of his rock-like gray-white muscles is covered with hideous scars. There is almost no trace of clothing on his body except for a pair of jingling iron trousers on his lower body and a covering of his upper body.
Iron mask with a big face.
The corners of the mouth under the mask were raised, revealing two rows of neat teeth. Although he was smiling, it gave people a terrifying feeling like a beast raising its fangs.
Crazy level heroic spirit——"Spartacus"!
"Are you the "BOOM artist" who planted the bomb on my door?"
Raising his hand, Luo Jie summoned "Medusa".
The slender purple-haired beauty and the smiling brother with muscles all over his body stood opposite each other in the dark forest, forming a picture with strong visual impact.
The otaku pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose noncommittally, and said with a bit of pride: "I didn't expect you to really come... To be honest, I'm a little curious, what hidden mission does this woman have that is worthy of you?
Risky? But I know you won’t say that. Spartacus, kill him!”
The gray muscular brother grinned widely, picked up the mace that was as tall as half a man, and rushed straight towards Luo Jie with long strides. The ground under his feet shook violently with his heavy footsteps.
I have something to do today, and there is only one chapter left... Let me put a picture of Brother Smiling in the Easter egg chapter. It would be interesting if it doesn't pass the review.
