Chapter 356: Going Deep Into the Tiger's Den
"With your current strength, are you still trying to sneak attack me?" The Frozen Banshee looked at me with an indignant expression proudly, then smiled and waved her hand forward and said to the people around her: "Go and arrest him. , we still have important things to finish.”
"Yes." Two Russian players immediately walked towards me under the orders of the Frozen Banshee, and of course I resisted resolutely, but after a "solid" confrontation, I was still "lost" to that player. Two players that I could kill easily were pinned to the ground.
Kristina who was following me was also a good person. My previous hints had already told her that I was going to do something. Seeing that I was easily caught by the other party, she immediately realized that I was going to be caught on purpose, so she She immediately pretended that her combat effectiveness was reduced like me, and first released a bunch of magic missiles to knock several Russian players rushing toward her into flight. However, in the middle of the process, she suddenly failed to cast a spell, and then she shook herself. As soon as the surrounding Russian players saw an opportunity, they immediately surrounded them again.
Kristina's magic is a skill, so the power cannot be controlled. However, what cannot be changed is only the standard output of a single skill. This does not mean that the actual damage caused by the skill cannot be modified at all. In order to appear more realistic, Kristina deliberately turned off several auxiliary skills on her body. These skills can greatly increase her magic attack power. On the contrary, after turning it off, her attack power will feel reduced. As for the attack frequency, you can lower it as long as you control it. Occasionally, you can make moves and not activate skills to pretend that spell casting fails. This way it seems that your combat effectiveness is really down. But Kristina is still very good. Even though she pretended that her magic was broken, she still started a close combat with those people after they got close. Moreover, she even used the other party's negligence of thinking that she was a mage and had no close combat ability to kill a guy in a surprise attack. This incident made the Frozen Banshee's good mood slightly worse, but when she saw Kristina and I being escorted by her people, her mood immediately returned to her excitement state.
The reason why I wanted to act with Kristina and pretend that I couldn't do it was controlled by the other party was not without reason, and this reason was in my previous phone call with Radamantis. The information learned from the call showed that the other party did not intend to kill us directly, but to capture us. Although Radamantis and the others' combat effectiveness was reduced, none of them died. Instead, they were all controlled. It looked like he was going to do something.
In fact, because the player itself can be resurrected, the cost of dying once is actually not very high. The Russian players have laid out such a big plan this time. If it is just to trick us into coming here to kill once, the effort and reward are obviously completely disproportionate. Of course, if Radamantis and the others died, the price would be high, but I don’t think the Russians would do that. After all, the gods are very precious, and even if they are hostile beings, not everyone would consider killing them casually.
After catching Kristina and me, these Russian players escorted us along the city's main road to a very tall building. But what we want to go to is not the facade of the building, but the underside of the building. Passing from the hall into a room at the back of the building, after passing through a gate guarded by a large group of guards, we entered a very deep vertical shaft. After walking down this vertical shaft for countless rounds of stairs, we finally arrived at the bottom of this deep shaft. This was not the terminal station, but a certain section of an underground river.
This underground river has obviously been repaired. The river is very smooth and paved with sidewalks on both sides. However, we took a boat and went upstream along the river. Relying on the cables on the river to pull the ship forward, it soon moved several kilometers forward against the current.
After getting off the boat, we found that we had arrived at a stone building pier. It's not that busy on the pier, but it's not small. On both sides of the pier, you can see several metal giants about four meters tall carrying some huge metal boxes, and there are some players sitting on top of these giants who seem to be directing them. I curiously took another look at the giant over there, but the Russian player next to me roughly stepped forward and kicked me on the lower back. But the funny thing is that I didn't feel anything, but he unexpectedly activated the armor. The automatic retaliation property on. A thick arc of electricity that suddenly gathered connected from my body to his, instantly knocking him away more than ten meters, and then he fell into the river with a splash.
"What are you doing!" The Frozen Banshee turned around angrily and walked back. Several Russian players following her immediately rushed up to hit me fiercely, but unfortunately they were stopped by the Frozen Banshee before they could do anything. . "You idiots, his attributes have been suppressed. The attributes of the equipment will not decrease. Zi Ri's armor has automatic revenge attributes. Do you also want to taste its power?"
Several Russian players glanced at their embarrassed companions who had just climbed up by the river, and then stopped together. They also know that if I am not suppressed, even the automatic retaliation attribute on the equipment cannot be competed by them, so if you don’t want to get hurt, it’s best not to take advantage of me, otherwise you won’t know who is more unlucky. .
After this little episode, they became much more honest with me. Not to mention Kristina. The system protects female players very thoroughly. Except in combat situations or voluntarily playing some alternative games, female players are not allowed to touch them casually under normal circumstances. Once the system determines that they are abused or sexually harassed, the punishment will be severe. So those Russian players dared to kick and hit me but didn't dare to touch Kristina, but now neither of them dared to move. Although I have been tied up and pretending to be helpless, they know that the equipment on me is like a hedgehog and cannot move at all. As for things like stealing equipment, don't even think about it. Except for the equipment on the player that explodes after death, props without special properties cannot be picked off. Moreover, my equipment itself has non-drop properties, so it is useless for me to pick up the equipment.
After being escorted through the dock, we obviously entered a place like an underground military base. There were many players coming in and out, of course more NPCs, but they were all wearing uniforms, and it felt like an army. From time to time, you can see the particularly huge metal giants here. It seems that they should be constructed creatures like the mobile angels in our guild, but judging from the slow movements and the fact that there is a player or player next to each giant, Judging from the existence of NPCs, even if these metal giants are golems, their degree of automation should be very low. Otherwise, there would be no need for a commander around every giant.
"The Iron Giant in our guild is scary, isn't it?" As we were walking, one of the Russian players who was escorting me suddenly said proudly.
I know this guy said this because he saw me looking at the steel giant over there. In his impression, he probably thought that I had never seen such a huge robot-like thing, so he used a condescending expression. Say this in such a tone.
I didn't say anything after hearing what he said, but Kristina next to me burst out laughing. The Russian player who was originally arrogant and ready to accept our sigh suddenly became angry when he heard this obviously mocking laughter. However, due to my previous performance, he thought about it and still did not dare to take action.
I didn't speak until he suppressed his anger: "You haven't fought with the main force of our Frost Rose Alliance, have you?"
"What do you mean?" the guy asked, glaring at me angrily.
I smiled disdainfully. Then he said: "You sound like an amateur when I hear your words. Don't you know about the mobile angels of our Frost Rose Alliance?"
The guy argued forcefully: "Of course I know, but most of your mobile angels are only more than two meters high. The ones over three meters are just a few leader machines for town. We have super giants that are more than four meters high here." There are hundreds of them, isn’t this worthy of your admiration?”
"Stop talking, you're going to make me laugh to death!" Kristina said from the side: "Who told you that the bigger the puppet is, the better? Do you think your designers want the puppet to be stronger? Will you make your golems that big? They made them so big because they couldn't reduce the size. Think about the size of the world's first wireless phone, and then think about today's personal electronic terminals , do you mean that the cordless phone that can be used as a weapon is more powerful than the current electronic terminal? Also, if you don’t understand, shut up and listen more, and don’t talk nonsense. Who told you that our guild only has a few A mobile angel over three meters high? Also. Let me tell you one last thing. The mobile angel over three meters high you are talking about is not the most powerful magic puppet in our guild. It is the most powerful magic puppet in our guild. It’s a kind of experimental machine. There aren’t many of them, but just one can dismantle all the devils you have here into small pieces.”
"You're bragging."
"You are free to think that we are bragging, but if you want to know the strength of the Mobile Angel, it is very simple. Just go to the main battlefield on the Sino-Russian battlefield and rush to kill it. You should be able to see the Mobile Angel often. Wait until it locks onto you. You won't think that the two-meter-tall mobile angel is weaker than your scrap metal."
"Huh, what a liar. I will go back to the battlefield to see the power of your mobile angel, but I believe that thing is definitely a pile of scrap metal."
I could only shrug my shoulders at this guy's inexplicable arrogance and move on. Fortunately, the guy probably knew that he couldn't defeat us, so he didn't say much and walked forward in silence.
Soon we walked along the passage in this underground building to a square hall. There was a ring of doors in the center of the hall, and we were led through one of them, and then the door closed behind us, and then the whole room shook and began to descend. Only then did I realize that this turned out to be an elevator, of course, because the cost of the electric motor in the game is much higher than that of the magic crystal power equipment, and the structure is responsible. So this thing is definitely not electric, it can only be said to have functions similar to an elevator.
Because my senses are super sharp, I can basically determine the depth of our descent during the descent of the elevator. It turns out that the depth of our descent is very deep. This elevator shaft should be at least three hundred meters deep, possibly more than that.
After the elevator stopped, we were forcibly pulled out of the elevator and entered a narrow passage. From here, we walked forward through many intersections, meeting many people along the way, and there were many rooms along the way. It feels like this underground building system is very huge, and there are many staff inside.
After following them for almost ten minutes we finally arrived at our final destination. This is a row of small single rooms separated from a huge warehouse-like room. First we entered this warehouse-like room. The interior space was very large, but on one side of the wall was a row of more than twenty small compartments. These stalls are as narrow as those in public restrooms. The difference is that these stalls have no doors, and there are no toilets inside, but seats fixed to the ground.
These seats are very large and feel as if they are made entirely of metal. From a structural point of view, this seat should be very strong. After all, all its parts look very thick, and the bottom of the seat seems to be completely embedded in the ground, and it seems completely immovable.
After Kristina and I were brought in, we discovered that Radamantis and the others had been brought over first, and they were all fixed on the seats. There are special anchors on these seats, which can not only fix the person on the seat, but also have special fixing devices on the hands, feet, neck, and waist. Even his head was fixed, making it impossible to turn around.
After Kristina and I appeared, Radamantis and the others inside naturally focused their attention on us. Some of them seemed very excited, especially Zhenhong and Aphrodite, both of whom had hot tempers. Of course they were indignant now. After seeing Kristina and I, they both tried to break away from the seats that fixed them, but unfortunately, those seats were very strong, and their physical attributes were indeed weakened to almost nothing. So much so that their struggle could not even make the chair shake.
Seeing their reactions, I didn't say anything more, but blinked at them. Both of them were smart people. They didn't stop immediately after seeing my actions. Instead, they cursed and argued with the Russian players who were guarding them for a few times before giving up and acting calmly.
Although it was strange to blink at me, Zhenhong and Aphrodite quickly realized what I meant, because just after I blinked at them and as I was brought to the front of this row of cubicles, Both of them and others around them suddenly felt that their attributes were slowly recovering. Although the speed is very slow, it is indeed continuing to recover, and at this speed, it will take at most five minutes for them to return to their peak combat power of 80%, and as long as they reach that level, there will basically be no one here. It can stop us. and. If we can give us seven or eight minutes, they will be able to regain 100% of their strength. By then, it will not be the Russian players who have the final say on who interrogates whom.
After being pulled to the front of the row of cubicles, Kristina and I were escorted into two cubicles respectively. Then several Russian players came up and began to fix our hands, feet and various positions on the body in this seat. On the chair, under normal circumstances, we are basically in a state of being at the mercy of others. After all, it is impossible for normal people to resist at all. However, these measures they took were completely useless to Kristina and me.
The main source of my fighting power is not myself. But my demon pets. It is actually meaningless for them to fix me like this now. Not to mention that my current strength has not disappeared. Even if I become completely paralyzed now, it will be useless. As long as the magic pet is still there, my combat effectiveness will not be the same. How much will it drop? As for Kristina, that's even more nonsense. The biggest feature of Kristina's elemental incarnation ability is "silent spell", which is silent spell casting. To put it bluntly, there is no need to recite a spell, any magic that comes to mind will take effect immediately. As long as the magic is enough, you can still exert normal fighting power even if you cut off her tongue. Although Kristina's body is fixed now, as long as she enters the Yuan Dynasty Emperor mode, she will enter a physical immune state. In that state, she will have the ability to pass through walls like a ghost. By then, this fixed chair will simply Just a decoration.
Without those guys knowing, Kristina and I actively cooperated and they were fixed on the seats. Then the people who had escorted us stood under the opposite wall, where a small group of Russian players were already standing. There they were, probably the guards who escorted Radamantis and the others before. However, besides those people, there were other guards in this room. These guards were standing behind our seats, and there were two people behind each chair. These people should be there just in case, but if we can open the seat, it actually makes no difference whether they stand there or not. But if we can't open the seat, they don't stand there. It doesn't matter, so these people standing there are just a psychological comfort.
After we were fixed, the Frozen Banshee did not rush up to speak, but walked out of the warehouse. But this is exactly what I want. Anyway, it will take time for Radamantis and the others to recover their strength. If they are not in a hurry to do something to us, we can slowly recover our strength.
After looking at the situation in the room and then at the surroundings, I finally moved my gaze to Pandora who was sitting not far away. After thinking about it for a while, I started to speak with a strange pronunciation. The Russian player on the opposite side pointed at me and shouted immediately after I made that sound, and walked over quickly at the same time. But I ignored him at all. Pandora on the opposite side immediately responded to what I just said after hearing my voice. Of course she also used a language with a very strange pronunciation. This situation made the surrounding Russian players become alert. They shouted at us to keep quiet, but we finished everything we wanted to say before they got closer.
In fact, what I just talked about was the language used by the Olympus Protoss. To put it simply, it is the language of gods. This is a special language for NPCs, not a foreign language, so the translation system cannot automatically translate this language. The translation function of the system only allows players from different countries to communicate without barriers. It is not designed to allow players to understand all other languages, so they can only guess from our singing and singing that we are communicating. But because they didn’t understand it at all, they didn’t know what we said.
Because the room was relatively large, we had already stopped communicating when those guys rushed to us. Anyway, I just asked Pandora if their own strength had begun to recover. After getting an affirmative answer, there was no need to say anything else. . Anyway, now it’s just a matter of waiting. According to the current speed, the strength of all of us here will be restored to its peak state in at most six minutes, and then it will not be the turn of the Russian players on the opposite side to make the decision.
"What were you talking about just now?" The guy who was arguing with me about the strength of the Mobile Angel seemed to be particularly displeased with us. He rushed to me and pointed at me and asked loudly.
I looked at him and smiled, and then I said two words that made me angry: "Guess."
As expected, the guy was so angry that he forgot his previous lesson and hit me in the face with his fist. Because I had to pretend to be incapacitated, I couldn't hide, but I didn't intend to get beaten in vain, so the moment he punched me, there was a sudden click on my helmet. The mask fell automatically, and he punched the visor of my helmet. The result was a flash of white light, and a white halo spread rapidly with me as the center. The temperature in the entire room dropped by at least fifty degrees in an instant. The entire ground was instantly frozen, and even the guy opposite had a layer of ice scum on his body.
The ring of frost is a retaliation attribute that doesn't appear very often. This guy can only activate this level of retaliation attribute. It can only be said that he is unlucky. But since it is an attribute that compensates for excitation. That must be a powerful attribute. Not only was this guy himself covered in ice shards, but several Russian players near me were also frozen on the ground. It took a lot of effort to break open the ice. Get it out of the ice shell yourself.
Of course, it is impossible for no one to notice the commotion on our side. The Frozen Banshee suddenly opened the door and rushed in. As soon as she entered, she shouted: "What's going on? Why is there attack magic?"
"The report is that Joseph just hit Ziri in a circle, and then activated the automatic counterattack attribute of Ziri, so..."
When the Frozen Banshee heard this, she immediately turned to the guy who hit me and cursed angrily: "Are you an idiot? Didn't you see what happened before? Get back to your position immediately and stand still. It won't be a big deal. If it's because of what you did You ruined our plan, let’s see how I punish you!”
"Yes, I promise there won't be a next time." Joseph, who was scolded, lowered his head helplessly to admit his mistake, but after the Frozen Banshee turned around and left again, he turned around and glared at me, but this time he really didn't dare to take action. . My defense ability is really too strong. Even now that my whole body is immobilized, it makes him so embarrassed. The Frozen Banshee won't let him touch us, so he has no choice but to give up and continue to cause trouble for me. plan. He couldn't hit me anyway, and he was obviously no match for us in a quarrel, so it was better to remain silent than to bring trouble to myself. After giving me a few angrily warnings, the guy returned to his position with the other guards and stood still, and the room remained quiet after that. After all, our communication here has been completed, and now we are just waiting for the attributes to recover.
A few minutes later, when Radamantis and the others had almost recovered more than 80% of their strength, the Frozen Banshee suddenly came back, and this time she was not alone. But there was a large group of people behind him. Most of these people are combat players like the Frozen Banshee, and judging from the equipment, they are probably the elites among Russian players, or they are the presidents of various guilds. Anyway, the equipment seems to be very good. Obviously not an ordinary player.
In addition to these masters, there was also a group of people present. Only a few of these people are players, and the rest are NPCs. They all wore uniform white coats and looked like technicians. And they were carrying a strange machine behind them. This machine is cylindrical in shape, about three meters high, with a diameter of more than one meter at the bottom. It is divided into three layers and becomes thinner as it goes up. The top is only about thirty centimeters in diameter.
There are several universal wheels at the bottom of this equipment, so it can be towed, and there are many pipes and other things behind it. There are many handyman combat players following behind with piles of equipment.
After entering this room, the handymen began to assemble the machine according to the instructions of the technicians. With the tall erected machine as the core, all subsequent equipment was installed on the main body, and the pipes dragged behind the machine were also connected to many complex equipment. After the final completion, the device had completely transformed into an octopus-like thing, with many long equipment chains connected around a huge core, but the most terrifying thing among them was a clip on the front of the thing.
This clip looks like a person's shape, and it seems that people can lie on it, but the problem is that there are many small holes in this thing. You can also see sharp needle-like objects inside from the hole. Obviously, as long as someone lies on it, these small needles will pop out and pierce the person above. Judging from the position of these needles, their function should not be as simple as fixing the human body or torturing the person.
Although I don’t know what this device is for, I guess it’s not a good thing. So the safest way is not to let these things touch us. Fortunately, we basically don’t have to worry about anything now. Just after these people completed assembling the machine, the strength of everyone on our side has returned to more than 95%, and it is still recovering slowly. In this state, the people at the scene who should really feel scared are the Frozen Banshee and her group.
"Okay, our stuff is ready for use." After completing the assembly of the machine, one of the researchers reported to the Frozen Banshee.
After hearing the report, the Frozen Banshee walked up to me excitedly, then looked at me and laughed wildly and said, "You must be wondering what this device does, right? To tell you the truth, this thing is an attribute extractor. It doesn't Let you downgrade. But it will directly absorb your attributes and transfer them to other people's bodies. How about it? Are you starting to tremble? Yes, you should tremble. This thing is not as simple as killing you, it will Completely destroy your character account, because it is a dream for a player with more than a thousand levels but zero attributes to improve his attributes. Moreover, when your attributes are lower than your equipment requirements, your The equipment will also be forcibly taken off, and at that time I can get all your equipment. How about it? Are you getting more and more scared? It doesn't matter, just cry and howl if you are scared. I don't mind if you act a little exaggerated before you die. ."
Just after the Frozen Banshee finished her speech proudly, Jin Coin, who was sitting in a cubicle next to me, suddenly said in a cold, robot-like voice: "Ah, I'm so scared!" This sentence matched that sentence. The plain robot tone instantly conveyed the word sarcasm vividly, and the face of the frozen banshee opposite him instantly turned green.
"Hmph, you are still playing tricks when you are about to die. Let me drain your attributes later and see how arrogant you are." After the Frozen Banshee finished speaking, she immediately said to the researchers over there: "Quick, now Just start absorbing their attributes, starting with this mean-mouthed woman."
After receiving the order, a group of technicians around them immediately pushed the equipment and rushed to the gold coin. Then the two guards standing behind the gold coin immediately cooperated with those people to remove the gold coin from its position, and then prepared to fix it. On the equipment over there, however, at this moment, I suddenly shouted: "Do it."
when. As my voice fell, there was suddenly a sound of metal collision. Immediately afterwards, everyone found that I actually stood up from my seat, but then there was a continuous sound of metal twisting. Zhenhong and Pandora all jumped out of their seats. The seat fell off. Those fixed seats look solid but don't create an ounce of lethality at all without our properties being in question.
"After sitting for so long, it's time to move around." Zhen Hong said while standing up from his seat and moving his wrists and neck.
Seeing her arrogant look, the Russian players around her temporarily forgot to come up and subdue her, but they quickly reacted. Unfortunately, there was no point in reacting at this time.
