Chapter 334 System: This Long List of Names Is a Sign of Respect for Miss Cha Bai

Yasuko Sawaguchi fell in a pool of blood, her heart was stabbed, and she lost her voice.

Since being defeated by Cha Bai, the blind girl has been disturbed by mercenaries, hiding in the city looking for Croyd.

However, Croyd was surrounded by a group of players again, and she had no way to get close. She could only get here after Cha Bai started teleporting again.

Assuming that Xing Kai was still there, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to use her life to keep Croyd alive. After all, [The Rescuer] could resurrect her teammates.

But Xing Kai is no longer there.

You can only say that this woman...she is quite willing to go out of her way.

When Li Nuo saw this scene, he just felt a little pity.

If he can pick it up quickly, he can at least get the gold coin reward for killing the blind girl.

Snap.

Li Nuo took out his pocket watch.

There are still 2 minutes and 22 seconds left before [Residual Blood] is closed.

He raised his eyes.

Croyd has completely lost his human form.

[Critical Person] has a stooped back and is more than four meters long. His skin is dark and full of wrinkles, and black spots are constantly seeping out from his skin. The armor of [Artreus] had been stretched to pieces, and the surge of flesh and blood merged with the remaining armor. The long sword has been integrated into the inside of his left arm. And his legs were firmly grasped by the black hands extending from below the ground, and they were not allowed to move even half a minute.

As for the face...

Like a shriveled zombie.

To put it simply, regardless of strength, Croyd is now a living target.

Li Nuo shook his head: "Look at you."

"Can't see..." Croyd's voice was low, hoarse, and full of pain: "Are you trying to say why Sawaguchi would die for me, and why I would kill her without hesitation?"

Li Nuo raised his left arm, and the robot hand opened the ring shield.

"Not interested."

As he spoke, energy gathered inside his arms.

Croyd didn't seem to hear Li Nuo's voice, nor did he care whether Li Nuo wanted to hear it.

"In your script of 'Icarus', Sawaguchi helped a lot of poor people. She went around to rob the nobles in military camps and robbed money, and then gave the property to the poor. She would also provide help to the beggars and the weak within her ability. But This woman, in order to defeat her opponent, will also wield a knife mercilessly on innocent people.”

Li Nuo recalled the newspaper he had read at that time. A blind girl attacked the army everywhere, and the film company even wanted to film a biography of her.

But he only focused on two things now.

Kill Croyd.

End the script quickly.

The former lies in getting rewards.

The latter is that the convergence of the celestial sphere seems to be coming... we need to escape quickly.

Li Nuo has a clear understanding of himself. In essence, he is just a coward.

However, Croyd... seemed to have a mental problem.

"People are contradictory..."

"As players, it's not me, I know, I don't know, how I am, who I am, it's me, me..."

By the time he got to the end, his brain was gone.

Li Nuo squinted his eyes, and the mechanical hand that had gathered energy emitted a strong light.

He licked his lips.

What Croyd had to say didn't matter to him anyway, and this guy's mind was already broken.

The manipulator glows and heats up, and the next second, [ether rays] explode!

The crimson torrent cannon burst out! One shot directly submerged Croyd!

However, after the artillery fire, only a black dirty water was left at Croyd's position.

Li Nuo walked over. His first reaction was to find the [Philosopher's Stone] in Croyd's body. Promotion in [Alchemy Notes] depended on that thing.

When he looked down at the pile of black water, he suddenly... subconsciously... wanted to light some with his hand and have a taste...

The bad habits of the alchemist and the demon hunter gradually affected him. In the past, he would put at least two bombs here before tasting, in case it suddenly turned into a trap when he was half-tasting.

"First of all...I resist the curse."

"Secondly...I'm resistant to poison."

"So...I can have a taste."

As soon as he squatted down, a zipper appeared in the area behind him.

Sauron used [Flying Thunder God Zipper] to travel through space and find him.

When the four-eyed maniac saw the demon hunter brother about to test the poison with his body, he suddenly shouted: "You are sick! You can't drink that thing!"

Li Nuo turned around. He noticed Sauron's appearance and said, "Croyd has disappeared. I didn't kill him with the shot just now. I won't say anything more. There is something wrong with me now." [Residual Blood] is activated, is there any way for me to pause my ability first? There is less than 3 minutes left for this move.”

Speaking of this, Li Nuo narrowed his eyes.

Sauron was covered in injuries.

The left spectacle lens is broken.

"Your mother showed up and beat you?"

"You wouldn't have guessed that I met the Ant King, right?"

"Killed?"

"No, it was too strong, but it was disabled. He suddenly disappeared when he was about to be beheaded." Sauron touched the frame of his glasses, and the broken lenses were slowly repaired: "I guess it's because Croyd has a problem. so."

While talking, Solan took out a spray can from his pocket and threw it to Li Nuo.

[Ability life potion]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: After use, the BUFF time increases, the specific increase time depends on the situation]

[Brief description: Mr. Jack suffers from impotence, and he has been troubled by it for fifty years. That day, Mr. Jack met a monk in the church. The kind monk offered a bottle of medicine based on his life experience, "Spray it on your body, absolutely no problem, I rely on this thing to bless the donors, Hallelujah", Mr. Jack half believed and half doubted, and with a try attitude, he found a small hair salon. Fifty years later, Mr. Jack, who was in the second round of his life, was still suffering from impotence.]

Li Nuo got a bottle of this thing after completing Xing Kai's [Movie Dream Factory] branch.

He didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Now looking at the brief description...

Suddenly thought of Cha Bai...

If...

"Can you put away your obscene expression?" Soran asked.

"Okay." Li Nuo wiped his lips and said, "Kroyd is not dead yet. Can you find where he went?"

"He is still in here." Soran looked at the black water and said, "It's a bit difficult to explain... First of all, do you know what the Edge Prison is?"

Li Nuo remembered the explanation Xing Kai gave him before, and said, "I heard that it is a place that only level 80 players can go to. It is an area for feeding high-dimensional demons. It also appeared in "Octopath Traveler" and can also be called Huangquan or Hell."

Sauron replied, "Kroyd should have opened the door to the Edge Prison. Perhaps because "Dark Soul" can directly connect to the Edge Prison, [Philosopher's Stone] is also a key to open the curse contained in his body... That is, the things in his body that contain "Abyss" or "Edge Prison", and then let him mutate again. In other words, Kroyd is no longer a human or a complete player."

He took out a [Skill Card: Sweet Breath] as he spoke.

"I have encountered something similar to the Border Prison in a certain scenario before." Soran said, "It contains a lot of malicious energy, which can make people evolve into undead monsters."

Li Nuo: "Just now, Zeguchi Jingzi appeared and said that she gave the energy of [Immortal Slash] to Kroyd, and then he mutated."

Sauron thought for a while: "That's right, the essence of [Immortal Slash] is not something from the Yang world. Using that thing to attract the tentacles of the abyss, what you get in the end is a power that Kroyd himself can't control. That power will theoretically completely destroy him. I guess he puts all his hopes on letting the people from the big guild appear and kill us, so that he can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor and become the final winner."

While speaking, Soran activated the skill card, and his whole body exuded the fragrance of a girl.

Li Nuo looked at him with a particularly disgusting look.

Soran didn't care at all, thinking for a moment: "Sometimes I wonder what the true nature of players is?"

Li Nuo: "What do you mean?"

Sauron lowered his head and said expressionlessly: "People in the 'End Corridor' live for a certain purpose, just like Isabella, who doesn't mind sacrificing her life just to become the [Philosopher's Stone]. Some people just want to experience a different life, and there is another type of people..." He thought of the dead Mash in his mind, but he stopped talking here.

"What are we?"

"I don't know. I'm just a cartoonist. I just want to finish this quickly and continue living with my family."

"You're not the kind of person who doesn't prepare for a war."

"When I first entered the corridor, I was curious about everything for a while." Li Nuo said, "I have made many conspiracy theories. I would think from time to time whether my life and all the power I have are real or a dream. But now, I have no interest in these things."

Sauron looked very surprised: "Why?"

Li Nuo grinned: "Because I slowly understood a truth. If one day I have the ability to access these, even if I don't want to, I have to face it. Or maybe, these things are something I can't understand in this life, but that's not so bad. After all, if there is no corridor, there will be no real life for me."

"It's easier to think this way." Soran laughed with relief: "Suppose everyone thinks of a lot of things, and there are hateful monsters everywhere, this life will not be easy."

The two looked at the pool of black water on the ground.

"Just like you, Kroyd."

A hand stretched out from the black water.

The [Sweet Smell] on Soran successfully pulled out Croyd, who was undergoing further training in the dark.

"How exaggerated."

Li Nuo opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his face, but he was not nervous.

Soran took out a chessboard and slapped it on the ground.

In the sky, it was dark and thick.

There were black dots that were getting brighter and brighter.

That was the arrival of the intersection of the celestial spheres.

"It is estimated that it can't be stopped." Soran squatted down and moved the black pieces on the chessboard, saying: "This thing can disperse the positions of the players who suddenly descended. The specific positions are random, but it is better than them appearing together."

"I say, let's solve this first?" Li Nuo pointed at Croyd, who was entangled in the black flames and slowly crawling out.

The safest way now is actually... there are other ways.

Nanami killed the players of "The End" and won the guild confrontation.

Li Nuo can use the victory of the guild competition to exchange for the "player check" like he did when he met the mirror master, so that Soren would admit defeat to him, and then directly open the ticket to escape the script. As long as Soren and he leave, Nanami summoned by them will also leave.

Adam and his friends will not be in danger because they are protected by the eldest lady and have admitted defeat in advance.

All the events have actually come to an end so far. The only thing left is what to do with Maljie and Shayu.

but……

That's it?

"Actually, it was me who got you involved this time, Sauron."

"I know that [the one with residual blood] is too good at causing trouble and has been targeted. I am just a prologue."

Li Nuo smiled and glanced: "Are you angry?"

Soran stood up expressionlessly, his lenses glowing with white light: "Very unhappy."

There is still one last step to go. Killing Croyd will end the script.

Even if high-level players come, it is still just one step short.

Why give up?

"Anyway, I will continue to be watched if I escape, so why not take a closer look now." Li Nuo tapped his stick on the ground: "That's it, are you going to be their dog?"

"We'll settle the matter later." Sauron raised his chin with a smile on his lips: "Anyway, as an [Identity Holder], I will be targeted by them sooner or later, and it just so happens that my teammates are not here..."

"If you think too much, maybe no one will care about you until you die."

"There are still some."

In front of the two of them.

The fierce glow is great.

A tall figure with a long shadow.

Behind it was billowing black smoke.

Croyd is no longer the [critical person].

It completely turned into a monster of the abyss.

A pitch black color surrounded it, a pair of red eyes stared at the two people in front of it, and the huge, dark body was crawling like a beast.

【Red Eye】

Li Nuo: "It looks familiar. Is it the red eye from Octopath Traveler?"

Sauron explained: "Is there a possibility that this is just a random match of players or carbon-based creatures after being eroded by the abyss? In other words, Croyd's combat power combined with the tyranny of the red eyes of the abyss is the monster in front of us."

The words just fell.

Croyd, who turned into a monster, pulled out the extended version of the Farlan sword that was completely eroded by darkness from his mouth.

A fierce sword wrapped in black flames and smashed down!

The two of them had retreated to a safe position one step ahead.

"Solve it first." Sauron looked to his side: "No objection?"

Li Nuo: "No."

Even if you don’t have fitted earrings, it doesn’t matter.

Sauron released the panel he saw.

【Red Eyes Croyd】

[Level: lv64]

【Power: 300】

[Reaction: 291]

[Spiritual power: 170]

[Physique: 200]

[Insight: 294]

[Medical: Fluctuating values, unable to understand]

[Race: Abyss thing swallowed by darkness]

[Check and balance method: pull out the main body to kill]

[Current form: The power of Immortal Slash makes it impossible to die. The Philosopher's Stone uses him as a channel to connect to the dark things in the border prison. Those substances continue to spread into his body. The longer the time, the stronger he becomes.]

[Special reminder: Croyd has fallen into a state of being unable to control himself. He will break out of this state in another twelve hours, but by then he will also temporarily lose all ability to resist]

[Border Prison: An area that gathers a lot of malicious intent. It is known that all sealed things in the world actually go inside the Border Prison. The ruler there releases his power to the intruder, the famous Gunter Ou Dimu, Galdela (Octoward Traveler), Will of the East Orochi (KOF), Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji (Samurai Shodown), Black Fire Dragon (Xuanyuan Sword), there is no doubt that they have all been related to that world to one degree or another. It is like a storage box. Once you open it, the power of humanity in the abyss, the portal to hell, and even some indescribable things may appear in your eyes.]

"The abacus is very good, I want to hide it to delay time." Li Nuo took out the [Status Sustainability Potion] while speaking, then took off the bottle cap and drank it, and then heard: [Ability duration increased by 3 minutes]

Sauron was dumbfounded because this thing is for external application...

Li Nuo didn't pay attention and just asked: "Can we kill him in one minute?"

Sauron nodded. The two of them joined forces... It's not difficult, but there must be a division of labor.

"You can't kill him with ordinary means. You help me contain him and I'll imprison him."

Sauron clasped his palms together.

Avalokitesvara stands behind her.

The red-eyed Croyd attacks.

Li Nuo waved his cane and threw a [Blood Explosion Bomb].

Blood drops penetrated Croyd's raised palm and penetrated his body.

At the same time, Li Nuo pulled out Malorian. Since his opponent had completely become a monster in the abyss, he had to use mercury bullets to hunt monsters.

Bang!

Silver bullets popped out of the gun.

The bullet shattered one of Croyd's red eyes. The monster, which had lost the ability to think, seemed to have completely lost all sense of pain.

Like a running wild beast, it opened its dark bottomless mouth, roared loudly and jumped into the air, raising the black sword in its hand.

Li Nuo is right in front of it.

Silver's eyes widened, and the [Seal of Albers] immediately appeared in front of him. While blocking the sword, the shield shattered and triggered the impact airflow of "Alder", instantly causing Croyd to become unbalanced.

There was blood vapor piercing the corner of Li Nuo's mouth.

"The strength has become stronger, but the brain is completely gone. He is no different from the Croyd before he became a monster."

Sauron heard Li Nuo's instructions and closed his eyes, hearing the entangled sounds of Li Nuo and the other party in his ears.

He calmed himself down.

Recite [Bing Xin Jue] silently in your mind.

Fingers pinch together.

Twist the thumb and middle finger of the left hand together, stretch the other fingers naturally, hold the palm of the right hand upward, under the left hand, cross the legs and slowly float in the air.

Hundred-style Guanyin made the same action as him.

Chanting:

"In the world, there are hundreds of reincarnations, the Buddha knows, the oracle mantra, the emptiness of the underworld is the impurity of the three thousand colors, the spirits of the three thousand violent ignorance."

The eyes are closed tightly, and there is a turbidity.

There is wind in the ears.

Li Nuo was blown dozens of meters away by Cloyd's strange sound wave vibration, and hit the wall. His heel hit a protrusion to stop the inertia, and he pressed his upper body and clenched his teeth.

"Hurry up!"

Boom!

Cloyd rushed like a ghost.

"I'm almost beaten to death!"

With a loud shout, Li Nuo raised his cane and went to meet him again!

Those who know him know that this guy always says "I am weak", but in fact he is always at ease.

So Sauron pretended not to hear and turned a deaf ear to it, but his mind was full of light.

"Cut off in the light, the past follows me like a shadow, I am exiled in time, I am an evil ghost, you can call me by my name, I am a wanderer in time... I am nameless, after I am gone, I will get the fruit of a hundred requests."

His eyes opened wide!

There was a ringing in his eyes.

He put his hands together again, and the Hundred Styles of Guanyin disappeared.

At this moment, Li Nuo suddenly felt palpitations, and used the strange silk to hook a cube floating in the air and pull himself up.

Just as he stood firm, he subconsciously touched his hat, and then he remembered that he had turned into an angel's halo, and looked down.

The Hundred Styles of Guanyin stood behind Kroyd.

Countless palms came together to imprison the monster that Kroyd had turned into.

Sauron: "Break, split, and terrify."

All the arms of Guanyin were pinched together.

[Hundred Styles: Eliminate the Consequences]

The abyss flames on Cloyd's body flickered in protest.

Its face full of weird expressions slowly disappeared, revealing Cloyd's original tired face.

"Take advantage of now!"

Sauron landed on one foot.

"Don't hide, use all your strength!"

Li Nuo had already drawn his gun and aimed, and pressed the trigger hard with his index finger.

Eight-star gun mode, magic shotgun!

Flames burst out, eight magic bullets hit the muzzle, and he shouted "Cuihua". The blue fire with eyes wrapped around the bullets, and the sky was full of blue light. The dancing magic bullets were like flying swallows skimming the water, and they instantly collapsed on Cloyd's face!

At this moment.

Time seemed to slow down.

Everything in front of Cloyd was slowing down.

Thinking was returning...

But the body was no longer his.

He once told Li Nuo a story.

——"In a certain village, there was a little boy who was born with a disability. He was laughed at and bullied. But one day, the little boy did something great to save the village. The boy thought his good days had come, but... he was beaten half to death by the servants of the gentry in the village and thrown into the wilderness."

——"The boy didn't understand why this happened. I clearly did a good thing and saved a village. Why did they turn around and hurt me? I don't know how many years later, when he grew up to be a man, he understood the problem at that time. My strength and my achievements touched the interests of others. My willpower and my talent visible to the naked eye threatened the lives of those bastards. So I had to be killed by them to become a truly obedient person."

The boy grew up later.

His life was very strange. He always ran into trouble in the bizarre, breaking through himself again and again, solving dangers again and again, and never stopped at the boundary between life and death.

In order to survive, he did a lot of bad things and a lot of good things.

He killed innocent people and almost lost his life to save a bug.

All this happened before entering the Corridor of Cause and Effect.

The bug finally turned into a human and came here to follow him, but the bug had no eyes and no heart.

He still remembered that the bug asked him.

——"What is our team called?"

——"It's called Fire Bird."

Why?

Reborn from the fire?

——"To live forever."

Kroyd once imagined that one afternoon, he and the bug were sitting on a train, not going to the next script, but to his hometown.

On the train back home, he gently hugged the beautiful woman in kimono, although it was silent, but everything was so beautiful.

——"Xing Kai, I really envy you."

Everything in front of him returned to reality.

Bloodstained vision.

Baishi Guanyin let go.

Soran used [Shrinking the Earth] to accurately stand at the position where Kroyd fell.

The single eye turned red, and the strongest eye looked at the opponent's weak point.

Neck.

The long knife on the waist flashed.

[Crazy Meridian] was activated.

The moment Cloyd fell to the ground, the knife was already sheathed.

[Killed player 5602, obtained 15,000 gold coins]

Sauron: "We will split the money in half?"

Li Nuo shook his head. He saw fragments of Cloyd's memory from the soul eaten by "Cuihua".

Even if the cartoonist's brain only saw sporadic fragments, he could still make up the general story line.

Li Nuo sat cross-legged on the floating cube, holding his chin with his hand.

"You choose your own path."

At this time, Soran suddenly looked to the other side.

He clenched his teeth and rubbed them.

"Here it comes!"

On the chessboard placed on the ground, the black stones gradually turn into white stones, which means that players have entered the script and are scattered around the city.

on the sky.

The black dots expanded rapidly, and a seemingly ordinary colorless ripple spread out in all directions. In the ripples, various magical, magnificent, and ferocious colors collided, like a magnificent and majestic painting.

An airship that was incompatible with this world slowly flew out from there.

It just stayed in the air.

Sauron saw something was wrong at a glance: "That seems to be a teleportation device?"

Anyway, the big guild has arrived.

At this moment, Li Nuo's eyes were startled, he jumped down quickly and kicked Sauron several meters away.

at the same time.

Where Sauron was just now, an invisible air bullet flew past, leaving a hole in the wall of the building behind them.

"The response was pretty quick."

A man wearing a black hood stepped out from the shadow of the white alley, holding ammunition made of air between his fingers.

"Croyd is dead?"

"That's the [Remnant Blood One], right?"

"Well, our positions have been dispersed."

"Did [Questor] do something good?"

The sounds became more numerous and denser.

Li Nuo raised his head, his cheeks were still and his pupils were shaking. There were four players, one sneak attack in the alley, two standing on the roof, and one whose position was unclear.

Sauron sat on the ground and pushed up his glasses: "The lowest level is 80. Li Nuo, let me make it clear first. This is not a novel. It is not impossible to kill monsters beyond the level, but it is not that outrageous."

The words just fell.

A double-edged heavy ax fell from the sky, smashing the ground into pieces, and a large number of white cubes jumped up.

Li Nuo took the opportunity to retract the weapon box and move further away.

The raised dust was shaken away by a ripple of fire.

The ax handle that smashed into the ground was tilted, and a strong man stood on the ax handle.

Sauron said with empty eyes: "This one is much better than Croyd."

"Huh, really?"

Li Nuo sneered and ran away suddenly.

Sauron ran with him and shouted: "You deserter!"

Li Nuo yelled: "Nonsense, if you can't beat me, you can stay and eat instead of running away!"

At this moment, the man standing on the big ax touched his Superman-like butt and chin and smashed his mouth.

"Is that [the one with residual blood]?"

"I can't tell. I thought he looked so fierce. It turns out he's a Pope******."

Li Nuo suddenly stopped.

Sauron suddenly felt something bad.

Li Nuo then looked back with a scowl on his face: "Huh?"

"How about it?" The man jumped off the big ax and said with a smile, "Want to do it?"

Li Nuo sneered: "You can't even beat a woman."

Then he turned around and continued running.

Sauron was already numb and followed Li Nuo dryly away.

But when he looked at the player's panel, he felt that what Li Nuo just said... might be true.

The large guild players in front of them should not be the top combat power of "Wrath of Bahamut". At best, they are a group of middle and low-level players. Except for the strong man, the rest are just level advantages.

There are usually a large number of small and medium-sized guilds under the big guilds.

Sauron guessed that the most likely reason was that the high-end players from the big guild could not come for the time being, so they asked the subordinate guilds to clear the way first.

In addition, the reason why Li Nuo dared to say that was because he saw that the brown-white integrated panel had been completed.

…

[Earring fitting progress: 100%]

[You have mastered the magic of space replacement]

[Your magic base has been greatly strengthened]

【You got new clothes】

[Earring fitting time remaining: 30 minutes]

A panel indicating that the earrings were successfully fitted floated before Chabai's eyes.

He stepped lightly on the ground, walked out of the seal of [Slime Eye], and stood in the middle of the block, his long white hair falling like a waterfall.

The eyes on his face were like those of an elk, looking around confusedly.

"who I am……"

"Where am I..."

"What am I doing..."

Consciousness has not yet fully recovered.

Confusion occupies almost the entire brain sulcus.

Her muscle memory made her subconsciously lift her finger to open the personal panel.

Then he glanced at his attribute values ​​with his subconscious mind.

"No change."

Just then, mosaic spots appeared on her name, and a few seconds later, the name Chabai changed.

[The inheritor of the ancient blood·Dana Bime II·The mechanical elf from Yorha·I feel uncomfortable without wearing high heels for a day·My breasts have grown by one cup size since I got together with the demon hunter·Although the legs are real from the waist down Only 1.6 meters tall at the waist.
