Chapter 20 Destruction is rebirth (please read it!)
In the night, the shadows of the three people were lengthened by the street lights.
"Chu Tiankuo, what are you doing?!"
Lingmao, who was still struggling with plot clues, never expected that Chu Tiankuo would suddenly pull out a gun and point it at Gu Chi while they were having a good conversation.
She widened her eyes and looked at the gentle man in front of her in surprise.
Until this moment, Chu Tiankuo still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Surprised?"
"That's right. After all, you are still a newcomer, so it's normal that you can't understand it." Chu Tiankuo said with a smile, "Just think of it as me teaching you a lesson this time."
The gun in his hand was not given by the copy. The muzzle alone was more than a circle larger.
Gu Chi glanced at it and then looked away, as if he was not the one being pointed at.
He looked at Chu Tiankuo and asked, "Are you here for the reward?"
"Yes." Chu Tiankuo admitted generously. There was no need to hide it at this time. There was helplessness in his tone, "I can't help it. Who made the rewards of S-level dungeons so generous?"
The Pure Land games have never had a true team mode, even though everyone has the same mission.
Because the rewards for the copy are settled based on the final evaluation, and there are two key factors that determine the final evaluation.
Whether to clear the dungeon, and how many teammates survived when clearing the dungeon.
To put it bluntly, in team mode, the more teammates die, the higher the score of the remaining people after clearing the instance.
This is a reward mechanism added by the game to encourage players who try to turn the tide, but it may not be possible to take advantage of it.
If you want to grow faster than others, you naturally have to use some means.
Such as killing gun ash and poplar.
At first, Chu Tiankuo didn't want to take action against Gun Fu so quickly.
Counting Gu Chi, there are a total of four veteran players in this game. It is difficult for him to win against three.
So Chu Tiankuo chose to try to persuade Qian Hui to unite with him, deal with Bai Yang first, and then deal with Gu Chi and others who did not die in the plot when he came back.
Chu Tiankuo could tell that Qian Hui didn't like these three newcomers very much.
The reason is simply that they are afraid of delaying me, but it is also essentially a reward, so I shouldn’t refuse it.
But the result turned out to be completely different.
Gun Ash not only rejected his invitation to cooperate, but also directly attacked him.
That man who looked extremely cold had an unexpectedly strong bottom line.
After Bai Yang learned about the situation, he immediately joined the battle and joined forces with Gun Hui to kill him.
Fortunately, he saved a hand in advance and controlled the shadows of Gun Hui and Bai Yang in advance, and at the last moment, he controlled the shadows to launch a sneak attack, barely defeating the two of them.
The process was a bit thrilling, but I won in the end.
As long as he gets rid of Gu Chi and Lingmao, he will become the biggest winner of this dungeon.
"Aren't you afraid that you can't defeat us?" Gu Chi asked.
Chu Tiankuo tilted the gun in his hand, letting the exquisite silver patterns on the gun face the light: "This gun is gun gray, you can't hold it."
Gu Chi has no doubt about this. With his small body of 6 and no equipment, let alone a gun for a gun player, he can't resist even an ordinary small pistol...
But the problem is——
"Can you hit me?"
It's more or less provocative.
Chu Tiankuo smiled: "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Flames burst out from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet passed through Gu Chi's body at a speed invisible to the naked eye and hit the brick wall behind him.
Empty.
Looking at Gu Chi again, he had already disappeared.
Chu Tiankuo was not surprised by this. He was testing Gu Chi. It would be best if he could end the battle with one shot. It didn't matter if he missed.
He didn't even care where Gu Chi was, and directly turned his gun and pointed it at Lingmao.
The lens on the bridge of the nose reflected the girl's panicked look. Chu Tiankuo's rich gaming experience allowed him to easily judge that Lingmao's charm value was at least 7 points.
Chu Tiankuo must admit that Lingmao is a very cute girl.
Especially her panicked action of pulling out a gun, coupled with the frightened expression on her face, will make people involuntarily feel a desire for protection.
So Chu Tiankuo fired the second shot.
"Bang!"
Lingmao stiffened, his pupils suddenly dilated, and blood spilled from the corners of his slightly opened mouth.
She lowered her head slowly and saw a bloody hole as big as a fist on her chest.
Blood was staining her clothes red.
What a pity, such a beautiful girl... Chu Tiankuo felt a little sorry. He thought Gu Chi would come over to help block her, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a master who didn't understand the beauty of women.
"Your injury seems a bit serious?" Gu Chi's voice sounded from behind Chu Tiankuo.
"Yes, but I'll kill you enough." As he spoke, Chu Tiankuo turned his body slightly and raised his left arm, easily blocking the dagger stabbed from behind.
Gu Chi disappeared again.
"Boom."
Lingmao fell in a pool of blood.
Chu Tiankuo was the only one standing alone in the entire street, which seemed empty and lonely.
"You think I can't find you like this?"
Chu Tiankuo smiled and closed his eyes.
At this moment, his hearing increased to an extremely keen level, and he could even hear the subtle sound of airflow in the air.
Chu Tiankuo tilted his head, as if he felt something. When he opened his eyes, he had already raised his gun to the right and pulled the trigger for the third time.
"Bang!"
A cloud of blood spread out in the night.
Gu Chi, who was moving at high speed and whose body was completely transparent, was directly knocked out of his original shape by this shot.
He fell to the ground in embarrassment, clutching his left shoulder, and red blood continued to overflow from his fingers.
"My invisibility is good, but my assassination skills are a bit lacking." Chu Tiankuo walked toward Gu Chi step by step. The shadow under his feet, elongated by the light, strangely left the ground as he walked, wrapping around Gu Chi's face like black tape.
His body locked Gu Chi in place.
No matter how hard I try, I can't break free, and the shadows even bind me tighter and tighter.
This was just as Chu Tiankuo expected, Gu Chi did not have many means of self-defense.
At this moment, Gu Chi also had a more intuitive understanding of the power of veteran players.
Seeing that he stopped struggling, Chu Tiankuo smiled and asked, "Give up?"
Gu Chi raised his eyes: "Do you think I only know a little bit about assassination?"
"No, I never thought you could only assassinate." Chu Tiankuo shook his head and said, "Your main attribute is spirit, right?"
"If I guess correctly, you should be able to briefly control other people's thinking, change their thoughts, and even implant or erase part of the accused's memory..."
Only in this way can we explain why the police's attitude towards them suddenly changed when they were arrested on the first day and why they were not pursued afterwards.
Not only that, Gu Chi can also get information from the inexperienced police officers, as if he is really familiar with the local police, but is that possible?
Gu Chi obviously used the player's ability.
Chu Tiankuo doesn't know what his specific abilities are, but he is certain that they are related to his spirit.
Players who are good at mental attacks usually don't have high combat effectiveness on the physical level. Gu Chi's hands just proved this very well, so Chu Tiankuo refused Lingmao to heal himself.
He believed that even when he was injured, Gu Chi was still no match for him. On the contrary, if Lingmao found out that his injury came from a player, that would be the real trouble.
After all, he still needs to check the clues and logic with Gu Chi. What if the two teams experience different plots and must string together the clues from both sides to pass the level?
The most important thing is to make sure you can clear the dungeon, otherwise there is no point in killing all your teammates.
This is not the first time Chu Tiankuo has done this. In this regard, no one has a clearer idea than him.
"From the moment I took out the gun, I have been on guard against your mental attacks." Chu Tiankuo paused and said, "Including when I fought with you just now."
The strongest point of mental skills is that they are unexpected. It can be said to be accurate when dealing with unsuspecting people. However, once others are prepared in advance, the effect will become very limited.
What's more, his mental attributes are not low, with a full 7 points, which is above average among all players.
This is one of the reasons why Chu Tiankuo is so confident.
He already knew what Gu Chi was good at, so there was no way he would fall into Gu Chi's mental trap.
"Yeah?"
Gu Chi tilted his head: "Then where are you now?"
The voice fell.
"Buzz!"
Before Chu Tiankuo had time to respond, the scene in front of him suddenly collapsed, like a broken mirror, streets, street lights, trash cans, men and bellcats lying in a pool of blood, and the rich night, all
The scene fell apart at this moment, like time flying by, unable to be caught or retrieved.
Chu Tiankuo suddenly opened his eyes.
Gun Hui's gun came into Gu Chi's hands at some point, and at this moment Gu Chi was holding the gun and pointing it at his forehead.
The confident smile disappeared from Chu Tiankuo's face for the first time, replaced by deep shock and confusion.
He didn't understand, when exactly did he fall for the trick?
Gu Chi didn't give him a chance to ask questions.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Bang!
[Player Chu Tiankuo died, mission failed, number of remaining players: 2]
Chu Tiankuo is dead.
Gun Ash is a very powerful gun, which made Chu Tiankuo's death look unsightly.
The head is gone.
But Lingmao didn't pity Chu Tiankuo at all, she still had an angry expression on her face.
Although she was not involved in the dream just now and didn't know what happened, she heard all Chu Tiankuo's "dream talk".
This guy, who seemed so polite and polite, was unexpectedly so sinister that he actually planned to kill everyone. This end was entirely his own fault.
You deserve it, hum!
But then again...
"Gu Yuan, how did you know that Chu Tiankuo wanted to kill us?" Lingmao asked.
"He is injured," Gu Chi said, "but you are not."
Lingmao's hand was cut by the pointer of the yellow dial when reversing time, and returned to the same state after returning. This shows that turning back time can heal the player's injuries, while Chu Tiankuo could only be injured after returning to Shigui City.
Gu Chi didn't think that any aboriginal could hurt Chu Tiankuo in this ordinary era. Only Bai Yang and Qian Hui, both veteran players, had this ability.
No matter why the three of them started fighting, there was always something wrong with one side.
As for whose problem it is...
Gu Chi didn't bother to guess. Anyway, it wouldn't be a mistake to control the person first.
That's why he drew his gun without hesitation, knocked down the poisoner, and used Chu Tiankuo's dazed moment to hypnotize him.
Yes, from that moment on, Chu Tiankuo was pulled into a dream that he had constructed long ago.
Hypnosis + dream building = illusion.
For this dream, Gu Chi did nothing on the first night and spent all his time memorizing the scene.
Lingmao thought he was fishing, but in fact, he was preparing for a dream.
With a structure that is infinitely close to reality and extremely detailed, the dreamland finally created by Gu Chi is almost indistinguishable from reality.
Chu Tiankuo likes to push up his glasses and uses his index finger. Such people tend to have deep thoughts and strong observation skills. Moreover, he is also an old player. Gu Chi had to make more preparations to avoid seeing through his dreams.
What Gu Chi said before, hoping that Chu Tiankuo would be alright, was all staged for Chu Tiankuo to see. He had already noticed that Chu Tiankuo was coming, so he deliberately sent out a signal of goodwill, otherwise how could he lower Chu Tiankuo's attitude?
What about vigilance?
"That's it!" Lingmao understood this time, and his eyes couldn't help but sparkle when he looked at Gu Chi.
This man is really smart!
Gu Chi glanced at the girl and said, "If you had shot me just now, maybe all the rewards from this dungeon would be yours."
"How is it possible? I won't kill you even if I kill anyone!" Lingmao said, she had never even thought about it.
"Why can't you kill me?" Gu Chi asked.
"Because I..." Lingmao suddenly stopped mid-sentence, looked away from Gu Chi, and whispered: "I can't kill him anyway."
"What if I want to kill you?"
Bellcat: “???”
This sentence immediately confused the girl. She turned her head and met Gu Chi's eyes.
Those dark eyes were so calm that it was scary, deeper than the night.
The barrel of his gun is thick and long.
Lingmao realized that this man didn't seem to be joking with her...
So, she performed a set of combos at extremely fast speed that even Gu Chi had never thought of——
Lingmao squatted down with a "swish", held his head with both hands, shrank his whole body into a ball, turned his back, and said shivering: "Then, please be gentle, I'm afraid of pain."
Gu Chi: "..."
Why don't you even offer a token resistance, or ask why?
Forget it...it's good to be silly, after all, stupid people are blessed with stupid things.
Gu Chi stopped teasing her, put away his gun and said: "Get up, go back to the hotel."
Lingmao didn't dare to move: "You, don't you want to kill me?"
Gu Chi: "Suddenly I don't want to kill anymore."
The girl said: "It doesn't matter Gu Yuan, I thought clearly when I heard what Chu Tiankuo said just now. You have been guiding me all the way. Without you, I wouldn't be able to survive today. Maybe I will be beaten the next day."
Zombies bite to death..."
"Really, being able to live in an S-book for so long has exceeded my original expectations. I am already very satisfied, so... you can kill if you want, I won't run away!"
After saying that, Lingmao closed his eyes tightly and waited for Gu Chi's gun to come.
Gu Chi looked at the timid yet brave back of the girl and couldn't help but laugh.
He originally just wanted to tease Lingmao, but he didn't expect to trick him into a special move.
Bellcat was indeed on his to-do list from the beginning.
It is obviously easier to deal with newcomers than old players.
But now that his mission rewards are full, there is no need to kill Bell Cat anymore.
This is also the reason why Gu Chi specially said thank you when he attacked Chu Tiankuo.
He means it.
If Chu Tiankuo hadn't killed Bai Yang and Gun Hui, the dungeon wouldn't have ended for a while.
In addition, Chu Tiankuo also gave him a gun.
Gun Ash's gun is the player's own item and can be brought out as a copy.
With the progress of two tasks and one prop, Gu Chi felt a little guilty for not saying thank you.
After a while.
Lingmao, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, saw that there was no movement behind him. He couldn't help but open one eye and looked back cautiously.
Only then did he realize that Gu Chi had walked out more than ten meters.
Lingmao was stunned and shouted at Gu Chi's back: "Are you really not going to kill me?"
Gu Chi kept walking: "The police should be here in a few minutes. If you want to spend the night in the station, just keep squatting there."
Yes, there are police!
Lingmao quickly stood up and chased after Gu Chi.
"Take the plastic bag."
"oh oh!"
…
Return to the hotel.
Still 401.
The puzzle was solved and the special tasks were filled up. Gu Chi felt a lot more relaxed.
"Can we sleep tonight?" Lingmao asked.
"Okay." Gu Chi nodded, "The 'eyes' will grow up in ten years."
"Then I'm going to take a shower!" Lingmao happily ran into the bedroom.
Gu Chi didn't stay in the living room any longer and went directly back to the room.
Have a good rest tonight, find the "eye" tomorrow, ask about the disaster and then you can pass the level - this is what Gu Chi thinks.
But the development of things was a little bit beyond his expectation.
The prophet doesn't need to find anyone he wants to see.
After the two fell asleep, the hands of the clock tower sped up again.
The sky outside the window brightened and darkened, darkened and brightened again, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, sometimes snowy and sometimes rainy, like a slideshow that was playing at an accelerated speed, and twenty years passed in a flash.
In his sleep, Gu Chi saw a piece of snow-white light, which was a bit dazzling.
There is a figure in the light.
He squinted his eyes to try to see clearly, but the figure disappeared again.
Only a line of fluttering golden writing was left.
[Don’t be afraid of disasters, destruction is rebirth]
Don't be afraid of disaster...meaning, disaster will really come to Morning Star again?
Before Gu Chi could think about it further, the handwriting ignited with flames and turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
A system beep sounded next to my ear.
[The guide for "Eye Through Time" is completed! 】
[Rewards are being settled...]
…
Finished spreading flowers! (Manual dog head)
The first dungeon is over. Friends who think it’s good can vote. If you think it’s not good, you can also vote. It doesn’t matter. It’s not given to anyone, right?
