Chapter 497: A Man’s Ideal Partner Is a Comrade-in-Arms

Time is a thing that moves synchronously.

When Li Nuo and Xiao Wu were being chased by bugs, and Cha Bai was fighting Du Juan, something happened to Maljie and Nanami.

Let’s not talk about how they happened to get together.

The most interesting thing is that they were still in a hotel room.

Nanami’s face was as dark as a shadow.

“Can you come out of the shadow?”

Maljie kindly suggested her.

Nanami came out. Now was not the time for romance, and she had already made plans for a new life. She should just let it go.

“Maljie, can you go?”

“Hmph, that’s easier said than done.”

Maljie pulled the door handle, but the door didn’t open. He took out a punch from his white coat and shot at the window. The bullet disappeared after it sank into the glass.

“Another space.”

“So you were ambushed as soon as you came up?”

Nanami felt strange.

At this time, the headsets were all connected, and everyone could hear each other’s conversation.

Li Nuo and Xiao Wu were howling all the time. In order not to disturb the people, Maljie changed the signal and blocked them.

"Brother Ma was ambushed?" Johannesson said.

"Well, but..." Maljie took out a [Player Radar] from his coat, clicked it and found no trace of people. He speculated: "Either the trap created by the players of the 'Death Corridor' happened to be stepped into by us, or the players are no longer players, and my radar can't scan them."

Maljie is very concerned about the "Gintama-like Castlevania" label of Infinite City.

Wang is modifying the script.

Then, is being the king's guard also part of the script?

In this way, the players are no longer players.

On the spaceship, Li Nuo gave a clue. When Shao Hong died, Shao Hong's name was read out in the system announcement. This is not normal.

Maljie pointed out everything and told everyone.

Johannesson: "Don't worry, I will find a way. As long as I can see the king, I will understand everything."

Cassim sent a voice: "Don't commit suicide."

Nanami watched him the whole time, her mind was in a mess.

She was thinking about why she fell in love with this grandson in the first place.

In fact, it was just someone helping her when she was vulnerable.

Maljie was different from Li Nuo. Ma Ge rarely had malice towards others. In addition, he always pretended to be profound. People who hated him would be annoyed beyond words, while people who didn't hate him would like to get along with him. Therefore, people like Maljie were actually a walking peach blossom machine as long as some objective factors were not pointed out.

Nanami touched her forehead. By the way, Maljie was very handsome... Maybe this was the core problem.

"Nanami."

Maljie called her.

"Nothing, let's talk business."

Nanami nodded, and the light of [Realm of Reason] lingered on her body, and she shook her head.

"Targeted attack mode."

The scene of Nanami killing three players with a few sticks in reality was quite scary, so the "Corridor of Death" gave her special care.

"The caster should be nearby, and it is possible that he is in the room."

Nanami glanced at a corner.

"Well, it's in the room."

"Is that so..."

Maerjie thought about it and looked her in the eyes.

Nanami understood what was going to happen, so she reached out and Ma Ge handed her a gas mask.

The two touched each other's fingertips.

Nanami: "Have you washed your hands?"

Maerjie: "I was wrong."

Nanami sighed, put on the mask and nodded.

Maerjie brought out the [Giant Shit Block], and then Nanami realized that this broken mask was not gas-proof.

The hidden player seemed to be unable to bear it, and broke the defense in an instant, revealing a round shape, a centaur.

Ma Ge was shocked: "Isn't this a human?"

The player's chimera ant transformation has an additional branch, the body animalization, this kind of player must have acquired special abilities.

The player didn't say much, and the moment his pupils moved around, the surrounding scene was filled with white mist.

Nanami was a strong man, picked up a stick and chopped it over.

Snap!

"What are you doing!"

Nanami's stick was blocked by someone, and she opened her eyes and glanced.

"Master!"

Casius held her stick with an unhappy look on his face.

"You have been practicing for a long time, why are you angry again?"

Nanami shook her head and looked around in disbelief.

This is the world of "Trails in the Sky".

She lowered her head, her hands and feet were all mechanical.

I...I went back to that time?

"Nanami, why did you come here?"

"I, I came for..."

Nanami closed her eyes, and opened her eyes again at the moment when the [Realm of Reason] bloomed.

"I didn't want them to die."

Time seemed to go back.

About half a year ago, Li Nuo's letter made her go to find that Cassius, and she did many tasks that almost made her collapse, and successfully opened the [Realm of Reason].

"The last step."

Casius returned the stick to her.

The last step... Nanami nodded: "You mean... to kill the monster."

She didn't notice that she had merged into the "past", and she didn't notice that she was standing on a stage.

The fan-shaped stage was full of spectators.

On the stage, she was the only one.

"Master...I feel a little familiar."

"Dreaming again?"

Nanami lowered her head.

She had been dreaming a lot during that period. In her dreams, she was alone. At that time, she had just found a place to live, had just eased her relationship with the demon hunter, had just become a player with "friends", and had just become a normal person. So she didn't want to lose.

It wasn't all love, nor was it the pressure that Shayu brought to her. After all, it was just a life, so she had to pay it back.

"My life, if it's gone, it's gone..."

Casius looked back at her.

No expression.

Only indifference.

In the center of the stage, Nanami lowered her head, and the golden light of [Realm of Reason] was dispersing.

She was completely immersed in the play.

The Chimera Ant had long analyzed that her ability was the embodiment of "a certain realm of inner strength". Only by disintegrating her ability could she be defeated.

The leader was Ryan, who thought Nanami was the most troublesome one among the "Endless Corridor" group, even above Li Nuo who had no skills to rely on.

The ability of the Centaur Chimera Ant was to release a kind of psychedelic smoke.

This ability must meet three points to achieve, there is a large stage, there are audiences, and the performer's personality must be emotional.

The cracking method is that the performer will wake up immediately if attacked by external forces.

But if the mentality collapses before waking up, it can be fatal.

This is the method used by the Chimera Ant to kill Nanami.

Perfect.

The method of playing with space and life in the "Death Corridor" and their style of hiding and doing things are clearly demonstrated here.

Nanami found herself walking in a phantom corridor, and she remembered that there was a giant monster at the end.

That guy would make people confess their true feelings, and only by defeating that monster can they reach the primary standard of [Realm of Reason].

"Hey... How do I know so much?"

Nanami began to ponder this question.

However, the stage play did not give her time to ponder, and the monster emerged from the ground.

The audience under the stage had prepared all their weapons, and the muzzles of guns and cannons were all pointed at her.

Nanami would die immediately if something went wrong. In her war-torn hometown, the flames of artillery shells engulfed the wheat fields. In the wasteland, there were corpses everywhere. Her parents waved goodbye to her and died in front of her. The nightmare began to unfold.

The power of the monster invaded her brain.

"The terrifying thing is right in front of me, a dream within a dream..."

Nanami's eyes widened, and she slowly knelt on the stage.

[Realm of Reason] Only a small outer layer was left to protect the body.

The Centaur Chimera Ant raised its arm and gestured to the spectators below, preparing to attack.

"Master..."

Nanami raised her head and looked around helplessly.

"Master."

She was looking for Cassius.

"I have nothing left..."

"It's so scary..."

"Don't do this... Don't leave..."

...

In the world of "Trails in the Sky", Cassius was worried about his daughter's lack of talent in swinging a stick.

His daughter was addicted to fishing all day long and did not do her job properly.

Cassius looked at his wife's portrait with guilt.

"I'm sorry for your daughter's condition..."

The man glanced at a photo next to him, picked it up, and looked at the girl with dimples on her cheeks.

"I don't know how the little girl is doing."

Cassius walked to the cabinet, and thinking of his apprentice, he picked up the [orbital device] left by Nanami before she left.

"That time she encountered a magical beast that could create dreams, and it was there that she broke through the [realm of reason]... But she was too violent, and [Shura] might still find Mind."

Cassius pinched the orbital device and found that the beads on it were glowing.

"This is..."

[Time Bead]

[Crisis contact signal, space shuttle alarm]

"You're still in trouble."

Cassius closed his eyes.

"I'll help you again."

...

Nanami knelt in the center of the stage, covering her face with her hands, sobbing.

The appearance in her dream changed back to her childhood, when everyone around her was dead, and corpses were everywhere, all of which were the bodies of her parents.

"So strange... No, no."

She vaguely remembered that it was not like this, and she should have let go of the past.

In the eyes of everyone, the faint golden light on her body on the stage had disappeared.

A flash of white light.

"Who will... pull me out."

"What the hell are you doing?"

Suddenly the voice of the demon hunter broke into her ears.

Nanami raised her head, and the scene she was in turned into a pure white stage.     Li Nuo and Wen Ke stood in front of her, one on the left and one on the right.

In the middle of the two was Cassius.

"Master."

Nanami was stunned. The ability of the demon beast was to make the most terrifying thing in her mind replay. Cassius, Li Nuo, and Wen Ke, the three of them were not the things she thought were terrifying, but should be the three people who made her feel most at ease.

They represented friends, teachers, and family.

The three men stretched out their hands together.

Cassius said: "Get up."

Nanami stretched out her arm, and the mechanical hand and leg turned back into flesh, leaving only a mechanical arm, and it was this hand that she stretched out.

The shadows of the three men merged together and became that Malger.

"Nanami, face your fear."

At the same time, in the theater, Malger ran out of the toilet. He was found to be immune to illusions and was besieged by two Chimera Ants. When he ran out, he saw Nanami, who was in the center of the stage, reaching out to the air, as if someone was pulling him. That person had no form, it was air, or it could be some kind of carrier in consciousness, something similar to the soul.

The Chimera Ants who were ready to attack her were distracted by Malger's intrusion.

The Centaur Chimera Ant shouted at this time: "Kill this girl first!"

At this time, in Nanami's eyes, Malger was still reaching out to pull her up.

Cassius, who was far away in "Trails in the Sky", called her with the [Orbiter]: "[Realm of Reason] Face your fear, but if you have trouble that you can't get over, run!"

Nanami's brain suddenly collapsed.

Face your fear.

She was still immersed in the stage play, and she suddenly woke up when she thought of the monster's ability to trigger people's fear.

Malger, is it her fear?

Nanami's mind was full of things, facing fear...fear...I have clearly forgotten everything in the past, the only thing I can't let go is fear...fear.

My fear...

Li Nuo just contacted Malger at this time.

"Huh...?"

Malger has summoned mechanical life forms to fight the Chimera Ants.

Li Nuo shouted: "Hey, find a way to get a map for me, I have to find the treasure of Infinite City and..."

Suddenly, Nanami collapsed and shouted: "Damn, I, I really like Malger--!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Chimera Ants present, including Malger, froze in place.

Cassius' voice lingered in Nanami's mind: "That... Although I don't know what happened to you, tolerance is one of the basics of maintaining the [Realm of Reason]... Don't be petty."

She kept hammering the ground: "I, I like him... This is my fear... What am I afraid of, why am I afraid to admit it! Damn! I like Malger, hahaha, hahahahaha!"

Temperament condensed into golden light.

[Realm of Reason] reopened.

Nanami stood up and broke through the illusion. Although it was [Realm of Reason], her eyes looked like [Way of Shura].

Maljie looked at the Chimera Ant in the distance and asked, "Can I join you? Let's run together."

Nanami: "Say it again?"

Maljie immediately pulled out the [Advanced Version of Shit Gun] from his white coat and aimed it at the Chimera Ants.

Obviously, the Chimera Ants didn't know how terrifying this weapon was.

The Rifleman of the Cowherd Group also had this gun. After using it once, the Rifleman was depressed for a week.

[Advanced Version of Shit Gun]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Equipment Requirements: Extremely Strong Endurance...]

[Effect: I don't want to say... Anyway, it's a submachine gun, but there is a probability of forming a methane explosion...]

[Brief Description: Puff...]

A Chimera Ant was puzzled: What level is it, and I still need to charge... Can this gun have a great power?

Maljie's eyes flashed and he quickly inserted the magazine.

Puff!

His index finger squeezed the trigger hard.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

Gunshots rang out!

Amid a vomiting roar, the Centaur Chimera Ant detonated the [Thunder Shura Bomb] arranged around the stage, and the entire theater was completely blown to pieces.

All players could see that somewhere, there was a thunderstorm flame reaching the sky, touching the shield of the Infinite City and sweeping across the sky, forming a dark cloud.

The dark clouds pressed down on the sky, and the rain fell on the streets.

[Hero 5762, Hero 5899, buried in the thunderstorm of the Chimera Ant Army]

[Thank you for the stage play]

"Thank you sister! I'm not dead!"

Nanami crawled out of a group of mechanical life forms. The surroundings were already in a mess, and lightning flashed in the puddles, which were the traces of the explosion just now.

Maljie used the mechanical life forms as shields to block the impact at the critical moment.

At this time, above the ruins, the abnormality regenerated.

Mingnu controlled the space.

The ruins on the ground gathered together again, and three-meter-long and wide squares fell one by one, enclosing the surroundings.

The shadows of the chimera ants appeared one by one above.

…

In the dim and dilapidated house below the high tower where the king was, a chimera ant formed by the natives was stirring a straw man.

The word "Cuckoo" was written on the man, and the straw on its body had turned black, foreshadowing death.

It burned the cuckoo man into ashes and scattered them on the chimera ants that ambushed Nanami and Maljie.

…

[The soul of the guard is uneasy]

[In order to protect the "evil god", they will not stop even if they die]

Cha Bai saw a strange scene.

A cloud of smoke crawled out of the cuckoo's body and surged into the sky.

The airflow that came out of nothing blew it to the top of Nanami.

Among the chimera ants that besieged her and Maljie, several suddenly twisted together and became a meat ball.

Nanami frowned, she felt a strong force brewing.

There was a creaking sound behind her.

Maljie opened a door played by a large mechanical life form in the room made of mechanical life forms and walked out calmly.

"Very powerful, right? Let's do it together."

Maljie walked in front of Nanami. This damn man is like this, always doing "Assassin" behaviors without knowing it, which makes people vomit and love him.

It doesn't matter if you are dirty, as long as you have a pure heart, people will love you.

Nanami's brows relaxed and she pulled him behind her.

"I'll do it."

"Huh?"

At this time, a tail pierced out of the meat ball, and a three-meter-long centaur chimera ant walked out of it. It had three heads and six arms, and it no longer looked like a player.

"Maljie, what is your promotion mission?"

Nanami pulled out a steel bar from the wall next to her and carried it on her shoulder.

Maljie's eyelids drooped.

"Save all those who have been harmed by the chimera ants and face the king."

"Then go and defeat the king, that's what you have to do."

Nanami turned around and smiled with a shallow dimple.

"Go, I'll pave the first road for you."

As long as the commotion is big enough, a route can be cleared for Maljie, Nanami thinks so. Now there is no time for both of them to be wasted here. The longer time passes, the more disadvantageous it will be for the "brave men".

Besides, since the theme of the script is heroes and evil gods, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit second-year.

"Hmph... Thank you."

The white coat turned around and passed by, like a white curtain covering Nanami's pupils.

She turned her head, raised the steel bar in her hand, and pointed at the chimera ants.

"I'm in a hurry, you guys come together!"

...

They didn't turn off their headsets.

So everyone heard it.

...

Johnathan: "Young people are really energetic."

Li Nuo: "For men, the best partner is actually a teammate who can stand back to back."

Nanami: "Annoying!"

Maljie: "I don't have a map. Now I have to go to the downtown area. Who will pick me up?"

Jerf: "I'm almost there. Let's make an appointment."

Li Nuo: "Chabai is also in that area. Who has a map?"

Nanami: "Lillolilo, the little guy should still be somewhere in the Infinite City. Find a cardboard box with the smell of Cairo aliens that can be directly teleported into the head of Cardboard Ram. Lilolilo should act together with Cardboard Ram."

Li Nuo was particularly confused.

Why didn't he know about the function of Cardboard Ram? The answer is actually... I dare not let him know. Cairo people are just eccentric but not stupid. If he knows about this function, he will be beaten to death.

Nanami: "No more nonsense, I'm going to fight! Ahhhh!"

The sound of bone fractures kept ringing from the other end of the headset... Li Nuo felt sorry for those chimera ants.

Xiao Wu could hear the voice in his headset and asked curiously: "Do people who join your guild eventually have some serious brain problems?"

She was referring to Nanami.

Li Nuo frowned: "What are you thinking? At least we are serious when we are serious."

Xiao Wu curled her lips and said: "Should we find a way to get out of the big bug's intestines?"

Previous story, these two unpromising things were swallowed by the big bug while riding a bike.

Xiao Wu squeezed out of the flesh wall, staggering and complaining: "I took a shower in vain... Well, don't you have an electric saw? Let's cut open its belly."

Li Nuo shook his head and pointed to the north.

"Just crawl out from its anus."

He also analyzed it very seriously.

"The north must be the anus, because the airflow is weaker and the smell is more unacceptable. The south is most likely the mouth, where the smell is more elegant. Let's light a fire while we go out of its anus and grill the insect's internal organs."

Cuihua jumped out and saluted Li Nuo.

"Okay~!"

Xiao Wu sneered, sneered, and sneered again, and finally covered her face and shook her head.

"Why should I cooperate with you! I never want to cooperate with you again!"

Li Nuo didn't take it seriously. He set up his bicycle, carried the weapon box, grabbed Xiao Wu's ponytail, and strode towards the insect's anus.

When Xiao Wu struggled, Li Nuo's trouser pocket shook.

He took out his cell phone, and it was the pink-haired gorilla's phone number.

"The group of chimera ants sent to your home has already set off. I'll give you the contact information. You need to download an APP."

"Oh, wait, let's talk later. The signal is not good."

"Where are you?"

Li Nuo laughed.

"Near the anus."

The pink-haired gorilla hung up the phone immediately.

"You're sick."

...

Penguin, gorilla, Cairo, three chimera ants have arrived at the "Earth" where Li Nuo is.

The transmission position is a little off.

The three guys are next to the train station, and passers-by are watching them... causing quite a stir.

Ten minutes after landing on Earth, the three have been handcuffed by the police and put in the car.

These three will face a more terrifying adventure than the players.
