Linlu Town tonight is undoubtedly a good place for killing people.
Because no one can tell why the people killed here died.
They may be killed by their enemies, or they may be killed by other people who want to seize the "Sword Dance Cao Ji", or maybe... they want to kill others, but in the end they themselves become dead.
Even if there are "eyewitnesses", it is useless. In such an environment... who can guarantee that those who testify are telling the truth? They have every reason to lie for some purpose of their own, like this "talking"
"If you can borrow a knife to kill someone, why not do it?
Therefore, on this night, killing is relatively free.
The murderous intention that is usually suppressed is already brewing in people's hearts...
Those who are proficient in hidden weapons and night-walking kung fu; those who have long-standing grievances but dare not take revenge due to the other party's power; those who are plotting to replace their fellow sects... For these people, tonight's opportunity must not be missed.
of.
For the players in this scenario world, this "chaos" also provides them with favorable conditions to "defeat the strong with the weak" and "reduce opponents".
"After waiting for a day, I only got the whereabouts of three people. I feel... I made a mistake." Under the moon, Sashimi stood on the roof of a building, looking down at the town in front of him, and thought.
"You said... is it possible for them to enter the town without being detected by you?" Meng Jingchan was standing next to him, looking as lazy as ever, with a wine bottle in his left hand.
"The sound shells scattered throughout the town are all functioning normally, and my detection has no blind spots." Sashimi replied confidently, "It doesn't matter whether they come from the mountains behind the town or jump in from the sky.
, crawling in from the ground, as long as it enters the scope of Linlu Town, I will definitely know..."
"Heh..." Meng Jingchan smiled, "Then there are two possibilities. One is that our opponent is only Jian Shao, who is not afraid of fighting with Xu Huaishang; the other is that there are an unknown number of hostile players who are waiting for us to check.
Before they were detected, counter-detection detected us... and then they chose not to enter the town."
"I would rather believe the latter." Sashimi said, "At least... Xu Huaishang should have a teammate left outside the town, right?"
"Um..." Meng Jingchan took a sip of wine, "Well... I don't think so."
"Not necessarily?" Sashimi asked doubtfully, "Hey...you haven't figured out the rules of this 'combo brawl' mode yet? You have to be a team of two people..."
"I know." Meng Jingchan interrupted the other party and continued, "I mean, most of her teammates have already withdrawn from the script."
"Huh?" Sashimi still didn't understand, "Why? Is there any basis for your speculation?"
"Well..." Meng Jingchan thought for a moment, "It's okay to tell you..." He curled his lips and continued, "As far as I know, the contract between Xu Huaishang and Hongying is about to expire.
As for the renewal of the contract, the two parties have not reached an agreement." He paused and further explained, "Since Xu Huaishang's contract clarifies that her game account belongs to her personally, this means that if she ends up
After leaving Hongying, the game character trained by Hongying will leave with her... Even if the contract prohibits her from joining other studios in the next few months, she can still participate as an individual professional player
Various competitions... Therefore, at this stage, Hongying has stopped providing her with various resources, and has also used the terms in the contract to prohibit her from teaming up with other players to play games. However, the rights and responsibilities of the contract are relative
Yes, she naturally has her rights, and Hongying can't make things too difficult for her...for example, using terms to force her not to participate in certain scripts is unacceptable."
"Oh..." Sashimi is also a veteran professional player, and he has seen such things before. After hearing this, he roughly understood, "So they just randomly found a number to double queue with her, and entered
After reading the script, he immediately quit and then let her play alone... This way it is not considered as 'forbidding her to play normally'."
Meng Jingchan nodded: "When I saw her walking into town alone today, I immediately thought of this... Look at this, it's basically a done deal that she and Hongying will terminate their contract."
"Wait a minute..." Sashimi said, "Then where did you hear these news about contract termination... Where did you hear it?"
"I'm familiar with the management." Brother Chan replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "They have recently been planning to sign Xu Huaishang, and even issued a contract to sign Xu Huaishang during the period when she was affected by the 'non-compete agreement'
Of course, I only know that much. I don’t know the exact amount of other unequal treaties and "signing money" paid to her. Anyway, it must be much higher than when the rest of us came here.
That’s a lot…”
"Look at your unbalanced look..." Sashimi said blankly with blank eyes, "Why didn't you say eight 'a lot'?"
"I'm not unbalanced, I'm just talking about things... there are really many." Meng Jingchan replied, "But... to be honest, I think they are indeed worth the price. From the perspective of fan economics, Xu Huaishang
I can understand that his net worth is ten to eight times that of ours..."
"Thank you for the compliment." The next second, a woman's voice suddenly sounded and she replied to Brother Zen.
At that moment, Meng Jingchan's pupils shrank, and every pore in his body seemed to be soaked by a cold current.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the sashimi.
But he happened to see Sashimi's head... slipping from his neck.
When the neat knife edge came into Brother Zen's eyes, the sashimi began to turn into white light.
Until that moment, the body was still standing and did not fall down.
The knife was so fast that Sashimi didn't even realize that he had been cut and was already pronounced dead.
"Huh..." Two seconds later, Brother Chan slowly turned around and sighed, "I was careless..."
Meng Jingchan rarely makes mistakes when acting alone. His carelessness this time stems from his trust in his teammates.
Even so, this cannot be regarded as a mistake; because his teammate is Sashimi, the player with the strongest detection ability in the entire Thriller Paradise... bar none.
However, many times, the "strongest" place is actually the breakthrough point.
From the conversation just now, it is easy to see that Sashimi has absolute confidence in his own abilities, and his statement "My detection has no blind spots" is not a lie.
But once someone finds the "dead spot" through this kind of detection, it will be fatal to the performer.
"This is not careless... It took me a whole day to get used to the detection frequency of those 'sound shells'." When Xu Huaishang said this, his figure had already appeared behind Meng Jingchan.
on top of the roof.
At this moment, she no longer covered her face as she did during the day.
Under the moonlight, her slender figure looked like a flawless sharp blade; her bright eyes revealed cold murderous intent.
"Understood..." Meng Jingchan looked at the other party and continued, "Use energy to completely cover the surface of the body, forming a dynamic layer of 'armor', and then let this energy layer maintain the same vibration frequency as the sound shell, so...
...can be 'invisible' in the sashimi detection net..."
"As expected of Meng Jingchan, you can guess my technique just by listening to one sentence from me." Xu Huaishang replied.
"Haha..." Brother Chan smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out one and lit it for himself, "Ouch" he blew out the cigarette and said leisurely, "You overestimate me, I
I'm not the kind of genius who can see through all kinds of complicated techniques just by looking at them, and I don't have Feng Bujue's mind that can think of a hundred things in one second..." He paused, "I can guess it immediately.
Your method is because...before today, I had thought about how to avoid the detection of sashimi."
"So...you have already thought of this method?" Xu Huaishang asked.
"That's right..." Meng Jingchan dusted off the cigarette ashes and replied, "Don't look at me like this... In fact, I am also a very strong person. Even if I am a teammate in the same studio, I will still study it.
How can we defeat the opponent?" He paused for half a second, and then said, "Of course... just because you can think of many things does not mean you can do them. I said, I am not a genius. To use a metaphor... a genius faces ten
A question can give twelve answers, but I can only give one."
"So you think... I'm a genius?" Xu Huaishang asked again.
"Of course you are." Meng Jingchan spread his hands, "You, Guixiao, Shiva, Wang Sigh, Ruo Ruoli, Wu Swordsman, Qisha, Good-for-nothing Uncle, Oda Ai... That's about it.
How many of them?" He said as he thought, and counted these nine people. "In terms of fighting, the talents of the nine of you are the most outstanding among the people I know and see... However, 'talent'
Being the tallest doesn't mean the strongest."
"You seem to have forgotten to include Feng Bujue." After hearing this, Xu Huaishang's first reaction was this.
"He..." Meng Jingchan shrugged, "I can't evaluate a person who has exceeded my ability to judge."
"So, you know my strength quite well?" Xu Huaishang said sadly.
"Ha... let's let each other go." Meng Jingchan said, "Why did you only use one knife in that sneak attack just now? We both know why..."
What he said was not a bluff.
There is a reason why Xu Huaishang's blow just now only hit Sashimi but not Meng Jingchan, who was only one meter away.
It's not that she doesn't want to do that, but that she's not sure...
It is not difficult to sneak attack on Sashimi, because Sashimi has absolute confidence in his detection ability, and this confidence is directly proportional to "dependence".
When someone found a flaw in the strongest ability he relied on, his empty self-confidence made him an unsuspecting target.
But Meng Jingchan is different. Even though he is not wary of the surrounding environment based on his trust in his teammates, but... in terms of warrior instinct, he is much stronger than Sashimi. The murderous intention in that moment is enough to arouse him
Reaction.
If Xu Huaishang attacks two people at the same time, or only attacks Meng Jingchan, then her sneak attack may not be successful.
Although the success rate is still very high, maybe 80%, 90%... but it will never be "100%" sure like the sneak attack on sashimi just now.
After such consideration, she will naturally choose the plan that will be 100% successful.
After all...she has no teammates.
Once the sneak attack failed, even if one of them could be seriously injured, she would still be able to fight against two; in front of the two masters of Order, she would not dare to make a big deal even in a one-on-one fight, not to mention there was another person beside her who could recover from his injuries at any time and join the battle.
"Since everyone knows the strength of the other party..." Two seconds later, Xu Huaishang responded, "Then let's stop chatting here..."
The implication of her words is that we have almost finished talking and it is time for us to take action.
Meng Jingchan also fully agreed with this suggestion; if the two of them continued to be in such a stalemate, it would be very detrimental to both of them.
Because confrontation... is more energy-consuming than fighting.
Even though the two of them stood there motionless, during the conversation... every second, they were looking for opportunities to take action, and at the same time, they had to be wary of their opponents' movements. This was a great test of their concentration.
If you take too much damage here, even if you win, it may have a negative impact on subsequent battles with other players.
"Okay." When Meng Jingchan replied, he threw away the cigarette butt (he had already put away the wine bottle before taking out the cigarette), "Then I... you're welcome."
Before he finished speaking, he had already drawn his sword.
He didn't count himself among the "geniuses". He wasn't being modest, nor was he trying to act like a pig and eat the tiger.
Just like Meng Jingchan’s metaphor of genius...
He really couldn't answer the "ten questions". Even if he spent time thinking hard, he could only answer six or seven at most.
Usually, he can only answer "one question".
And that question is always about "sword".
It’s too late to say it, but it will be soon!
But when the rainbow light flashed, the figure was wrong.
The sound of the wind rustled, and it was long overdue.
This sword is faster than the sound, and the man is faster than the sword.
The scary thing is... after the sword was passed, there was no sound of gold and iron clashing in the night sky.
The only sound of breaking wind seemed to announce the failure of the attack.
But in fact... it didn't fail.
In that flash of lightning, the knife and the sword actually collided, but... one of them was cut off by the other in a "silent" state.
It's like if you use a sharp knife to suddenly cut a piece of tofu hanging in the air, it will naturally make no sound.
"Good swordsmanship." Xu Huaishang stood there, looking forward, and said in a slightly tired tone.
She did not lower her head to look at her double swords, because she knew that... the [Luo Hua] and [Fei Xu] in her hands had been broken, and she also knew that a hideous wound had been cut under her ribs.
"Ha..." Meng Jingchan appeared behind Xu Huaishang, with his back to him.
He smiled bitterly, took out a cigarette from his pocket again, and held one in his mouth: "When it comes to swordsmanship, I don't think I will lose to anyone." He took out the lighter with difficulty with the same hand.
He lit a cigarette for himself, "What a pity..."
Just when he said the word "xi", the arm holding the sword fell off from his shoulder, just like the head of the sashimi that fell off just now...
"Fu" Then, Meng Jingchan blew out smoke comfortably. As he exhaled, three short but extremely deep wounds suddenly appeared on his torso; those three wounds also looked like "blowing out smoke".
"Generally, blood spurted out in unison, forming a blood mist in the air, "So..." He turned his head, still looking decadent, "I hate fighting with you bunch of 'geniuses'...
"
After saying this, he just turned into white light and disappeared.
It wasn't until this second that Xu Huaishang relaxed slightly, knelt down on one knee, and quickly covered his wound with his hands.
She did not rush to use items or skills to heal herself. Instead, she cast her sights on the shadow under the eaves and said coldly: "You don't have to hide anymore, I knew you were there from the beginning..." Her eyes were blazing.
His tone was firm, not like a seriously injured person at all, "Since you can cooperate with them, you might as well talk to me."
After finishing speaking, a man whose face turned pale with fright walked out of the shadows.
"I haven't asked you yet... The heroine is respectful of your surname..." Even a person like Fang Jin was speaking with trepidation at this moment.
