Chapter 504 The Protagonist
After Marjie released the map information to everyone, something unexpected happened.
Johannessen has a prop that can be teleported to a certain area at will through the existing map. It can only be used once. It is usually used to backstab the BOSS.
This time he chose to directly enter the tower where the king was.
But Johannesson did not meet the king, but found a room based on a token left by a companion.
Various medical instruments are displayed in the house.
There was a black mark on the floor, the shadow left when the queen ant was burned to ashes.
Johanathan went to the queen and took out a small cross.
【Temporary tombstone】
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: A souvenir to pray for the dead]
[Brief description: Do you believe in the afterlife? 】
He planted the white cross in the ground.
This is the place where Shao Hong died.
Then Johannessen took off his hat and bowed.
"Be bolder in the next life, but it's better to be selfish."
He put on his hat and in a blink of an eye, he was in the king's room.
Wang sat in front of a game console with tubes inserted into his body.
Ryan is not here.
Narume was actually there.
Johannessen wears a pair of monocles and can read some data.
[King: I can beat ten of you, but I am currently recovering from my injuries]
[Naruonna: A ghost who controls the power of space, the founder of Infinite City, has been transformed, her abilities are weakened, there are strange things in her body, involving someone's abilities]
As I said before, this guy Johannesson is very ghostly.
He immediately analyzed from Naru Nuo's information that the thing that trapped Li Nuo's skills was in his body.
So, he pretended to be confused, scratched his retracted cheeks, and giggled.
"Ha, trouble."
"If there's any trouble, aren't you here to find me?"
Wang stared at him, there was no indifference in his eyes, only curiosity.
"Come to kill me?"
"It seems you can't read minds." Johannessen could tell the details of his opponent with simple words.
But the king in front of him was still unexpected.
He thought that the king of the chimera ants would be very different from the one in the original version of "Hunter Hunter", but in fact there was a huge difference.
Four eyes, cat tail, but damn handsome.
Johannessen didn't know why, but he felt like he was looking at Marger.
Until the corner of Wang's mouth curled up and he let out a soft "hum", Johannessen concluded in his heart that this Wang might have something to do with Marjie.
"Do you also believe in the mechanical cult?" Johannessen didn't know why he had to add the word "also".
"No, I've never heard of that thing." Wang was even more surprised: "What kind of mysterious organization is that?"
"It's just a group of robots..." Johannesson hesitated: "Forget it, it's not important... There is another person like us who is not here. I guess that person is the ace, right?"
"Ryan."
Wang Wei nodded invisible.
"Yes, he is different. In terms of killing ability, he is about the same as me."
"I guess some of your abilities give him more powerful power, such as the control of [Charmer]?"
Naru's hand trembled, and she panicked a little.
Johannesson's deduction is correct. Wang can use part of the ability of [Charmer]. The power of the guard after death will be controlled by it and has been injected into Ryan. The current Ryan is the same as Phil and Amuro from "World War". Players of the same level.
"The last guard is about to take action, which means that your goal has been achieved and you can take action."
"Well, what do you think?" Wang wanted to hear it, but it was nothing more than killing time.
"Let me ask you a question first. I hope I can answer it."
“Tell me everything you know.”
"Are you a player?"
Johannesson already knew half the answer when he discovered that he could explicitly say "player" to it.
"I don't know either." Wang said, "My mother is a player, and I inherited some of your players' abilities, but not because I can't see that thing called the system."
"Then, the method of using the system is a gift from your mother from the 'Final Corridor'."
"It's just my speculation."
Wang pointed to his head and said: "How can I survive from your hands if I don't use my brain?"
Johannesson immediately sorted out the cause and effect.
The king has taken a fancy to something that can help it stand at the top from the pinch between the players and the Cairo Stars.
"It's okay to say it."
The king cannot read minds, but it can read people very accurately and knows that Johannesson is thinking.
"When I was still a fetus, I could see some things in that woman's belly. For example, a group of strange guys transported her here. For example, when she passed through an incomprehensible area (the junction of the cloisters), she saw something Strange tree."
The World Tree... Johannesson also knew about this thing, its existence outside the corridor.
"She seems to have realized something since then, but I don't know the specifics. In short...she wants me to live, so she tells me as much as she knows about you."
Wang paused, his eyes seemed to be hesitant, but firm at the same time.
"Well... Anyway, I have understood since before I was born that I am actually a victim. I can't fight you, nor can I fight against those Cairo stars. In front of the ultimate group firepower and cunning players, I am a real ant."
Johannesson was truly surprised at this point. He had underestimated this king.
It shouldn't exist because it knows the secrets of the world, which are the players.
Destiny is real, and irrationality indicates that something is writing its story.
If it uses these in turn and changes its own position first, will everything change?
But the premise is that it needs a danger.
The strangeness of this prison script is that it seems unfinished.
There are loopholes in the system.
New stories can be created by exploiting loopholes.
The outline of the script can be modified at any time as long as it is not well drawn up.
Wang changed himself to "the victim" and put the system's main perspective on it. This guy took advantage of the system.
Johannessen narrowed his eyes, and he no longer hesitated after understanding everything and took off his hat.
"Are you going to start?"
"Wang doesn't plan to kill me before then?"
"I just want to try my ability."
Johannessen laughed.
He put the hat upside down on the ground, and interstellar hunters kept squeezing out of it, and each of them had a faint smell of dangerous blood.
Before entering Infinite City, Johannessen not only contacted the fifty cheap interstellar hunters, but also used the convenience of the Cairo Police Department to plunder the nearby people's money and used the money to hire the best interstellar hunter in the city.
"Is this the guy?"
A man with sunglasses and long hair asked with a smile.
"Sorry for bothering you."
As soon as Johannessen's voice fell, Wang and all the interstellar hunters disappeared here.
Mingnu was shocked: "Space teleportation!"
Johannessen held her wrist and said, "It's better for you to die."
...
"Awesome."
Wang stood in a space composed of white grids.
It turned its head and looked behind it.
There were a total of twenty interstellar hunters here.
"Mallock Team", a notorious interstellar group, has excellent combat effectiveness. It often cooperates with the "official" to do some shady work. It once destroyed a small country in a certain world.
Their specialty is to put the opponent in an alien space, which is a kind of superpower. If everyone dies, the alien space will squeeze and shrink, crushing all the lives inside.
The above information went through Wang's mind.
When Meng Zang Jianan was pregnant with it, he investigated the power of the City of Menas and knew the insidiousness of this organization.
A hunter said: "Well, my friend, if you are willing to give us more money, we will help you kill that guy."
After listening, Wang thought: "The interests of civilized society are backstabbed?"
"That guy didn't say you were so powerful when he hired us."
"I haven't started yet."
"You can tell at a glance. Our principle is to complete the work as little as possible without getting hurt."
"It doesn't matter. At worst, I will die here and be buried in the alien space with you."
Wang raised his chin and his neck cracked.
...
Johannesson pressed Mingnu to the ground, put his hand into her abdomen, and took out the puppet doll that sealed Li Nuo's skills.
He threw the doll into his hat.
[Magician's Hat]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect 1: Can hold all kinds of things, the total weight of the things carried does not exceed two tons]
[Effect 2: Can pull people or things from far away out of it, can only be used once in the script]
[Effect 3: Put the things in your hand in and pass them to a designated target, can only be used once in the script]
[Brief description: The homeless man argued that the bodies came out of the hat he picked up, but the police did not believe it. Two days later, the homeless man was hanged]
The black ink-like internal organs flowed out of Mingnu's abdomen.
"Does the little brother scare you so much?"
Johnathan took out a "exorcism" shotgun from the hat, aimed at Mingnu, the ghost, and pulled the trigger!
The bullet was caught by a hand.
The king stood in front of Mingnu.
"My lord..."
"It's okay, don't talk yet."
The king's tail pierced into Mingnu's wound, and the wound was visibly wriggling and repairing.
"One minute and twelve seconds..." Johannessen was talking about the time it took Wang to enter the alien space and come out: "If I remember correctly, once you enter that space, unless they want to let you out, otherwise..."
"Otherwise you will be crushed to death." Wang looked at him and said, "Luck is on my side. One of them suddenly became stupid and told me how to get out."
Decreasing intelligence? Johannessen's heartbeat paused, and he realized that something terrible might have happened.
"Protagonist..."
"Yes, the protagonist's halo."
Wang said coldly, while pulling his tail out of Mingnu's body.
Its tail swung in front of it, and there was a different color in the fluff.
"Did you put the toxin in when you pierced her abdomen?"
Johannessen took a few steps back.
Wang held his tail, and his eyes reflected the slowly changing color of the tail fluff, and he said slowly: "The king of the chimera ants in "Hunter x Hunter" was killed by poison. Do you think this trick of "human malice" may be my weakness?"
The toxins that invaded the internal organs disappeared in an instant.
It looked at Johannessen with an admiring expression on its face. "Would you like to be my bodyguard?"
"If possible, I would, but I'm sorry... I can't be a traitor."
Johnathan had no choice but to refuse. The main task required killing the king of the chimera ants, and the script of the prison could not fail.
"Then do you want to try to kill me with force?"
"..."
"Or, I can let you go now."
"..."
"Or do you still have a back-up plan to kill me?"
"..."
"Are you here to erect a tombstone for that woman?"
"..."
"She's such a loser."
Johannes gritted his teeth, and his calm face twisted together ferociously in an instant.
【Same fate】!
He was ready to use his life-changing skills.
The ceiling beam suddenly collapsed, hitting him right on top. At this moment, Johannesson's skills that had not yet been fully activated were interrupted.
Wang quickly grabbed his neck with such force that Johannesson couldn't break free.
"this……"
Johanathan's eyes widened.
"This is impossible..."
【Charming One】A person who is loved by everyone.
If a person who attracts thousands of attention becomes the protagonist of a story, he becomes a "Focuser".
[Identity] There are restraints in abilities.
Restraint is a sign of evolution.
"Don't be surprised by what you see."
The four eyes on Wang's face stared at Johannessen indifferently.
Biogas particles loom in the air.
Johannesson exploded inside.
Wang stared at Johannesson, who had only his head left, and leaned down to help him close his eyes with his hands.
"I lied. That woman named Shao Hong is not useless, she is outstanding."
…
A crossroads in the central area of Infinite City.
Li Nuo was sitting on a mountain of corpses piled up by chimera ants, the cane in his hand already stained with black and red blood.
After leaving the factory, he encountered a large number of chimera ants on the road with a group of young men. He couldn't remember how many he had killed. Anyway, the hill at his feet plus the corpses on the road behind him, there were at least fifty.
I didn’t get any rewards, and I didn’t encounter any Mimics. I just had such bad luck.
The most unfortunate thing is that there is an uninvited guest right in front of us.
Ryan.
He was sent out by Naru Nu not long ago, and the first thing he did was to find Li Nuo, preparing to chop him up while he had no skills.
Li Nuo's data on detecting this guy felt a bit exaggerated.
He immediately gave up: "Brother, I am willing to be your little brother, and we will serve the king together, so can we not fight?"
Ryan frowned: "Can't..."
Li Nuo had no choice but to reach back into the pile of corpses with his left hand and touch the wheels of his bicycle. When he was about to run, there was no end in sight... the [Cursed Doll] that Johannesson had obtained was passed over.
Ryan recognized this thing, he was the one who stuffed the [Cursed Doll] into Naru Girl's body.
He immediately guessed that someone was approaching the king.
Ryan immediately drew out the big sword on his back, jumped onto the pile of corpses, and slashed with the blade of his sword.
Li Nuo and the corpses were blown away by the huge impact.
The corpse split apart, and the remains and blood rained down.
In the bloody storm, Li Nuo got up from the ground unscathed.
He snapped his fingers, and the [Seal of Albers] in front of him shattered.
"Ha ha……"
【Curse Doll】
[Effect: The ability to seal a certain life]
Although I don’t know how to remove it, it is definitely related to the “curse” and can be purified with [Cross Holy Glory].
In other words, Li Nuo's skills are back.
Fragments of magic factors popped out of his skin, blue light flickered on and off, and crystal blue fire rose into the sky in the moist air!
Ryan's eyes were blue colored by the flames, and the hot wind blew his hair open, looking at Li Nuo with horror.
"What an exaggeration..."
At this moment, Ryan gritted his teeth and held the big sword in front of him.
He understood that if he didn't have the mentality of dying together, he might not even be able to seriously injure Li Nuo.
"Come!"
"Huh? Hahaha, then I'm here."
Li Nuo moved his shoulders, pressed the blood mud on the ground with the soles of his shoes, and instantly activated [Super Speed]!
He disappeared from Ryan's eyes.
Ryan is facing a formidable enemy!
Too fast!
Ryan is facing a formidable enemy!
Can't feel the breath?
Ryan felt like he was facing an enemy.
"..."
Ryan is facing a formidable enemy...
"Run away!?"
…
Li Nuo bumped into a wall and squatted down, covering his face that hurt from the bump. When he raised his head, he saw that he had bumped into Cha Bai.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Cha Bai asked coldly.
"Let me finish pretending..." Li Nuo complained and looked around.
Everyone was present except Nanami.
This is the "safe house" that Marger found. It is called the "preparation area" in Infinite City, which means the supply place before the war.
There is a button here. After pressing it, some "teammates" will be teleported directly.
As I said, they are some teammates, so Butterfly, Nanami, and Battle Succubus are lucky enough to be excluded.
Xiao Wu and Zeref were as confused as two dead pigs because of the backlash from their skills.
Victor is repairing his arm.
Marger leaned against the wall in a concave shape.
At first glance, the years seem peaceful.
Except for Johana Nathan, who was sitting naked in the corner.
"I just had an in-depth exchange with Wang."
Johannesson is the king when he comes up.
Marjie's eyes widened: "Wang is a mature woman?"
Johanathan: "Ah no..."
Li Nuo: "Sir, your taste is quite strong..."
Zeref laughed despite his exhaustion: "Haha... I have met a Zerg woman before, and I have tried it, but..."
Li Nuo took out the [Golden Pearl] and blocked his mouth.
Johannesson took advantage of this moment to explain everything immediately, including Wang's situation and... the protagonist's halo.
"According to what you said... you are already dead?" Li Nuo's focus was a bit wrong.
What he meant was, if you are already a ghost, I can physically save you and accumulate some "racial experience points" by the way.
Johannesson was not so jumpy and explained seriously: "I am in the last moments of life."
Everyone was puzzled.
Luo Lei said: "John has a passive skill... roughly, put a part of the body somewhere first, if it dies, that part can be regenerated, but it can only survive for about an hour... and during this period, he will die immediately if he receives a little damage."
This also explains why Johannesson was not wearing clothes.
Sadly, no one present thought of giving him a piece of clothing to wear.
But Li Nuo found another blind spot, Luo Lei was also there... He thought that Luo Lei was too short so he found him.
Thinking of this, Li Nuo said guiltily: "I'm sorry..."
Luo Lei: "Although I don't know why you apologized... but I feel you are so annoying..."
Xiao Wu raised her hand in exhaustion and gave a thumbs up. She was giving Luo Lei a thumbs up.
Victor: "Okay, let's get back to the point."
Old Victor was still calm.
He asked: "Brother Johannessen, are you going to die?"
"Definitely not." Li Nuo said with a smile: "You're so smart."
Johannessen: "Haha... Brother is right... If everyone can complete the script within an hour, I can survive..."
To put it bluntly, after the script is completed, being hit by a train means returning to life.
But the problem is, the goal of completing the script is to kill the king.
Maerjie: "According to you, that guy has the protagonist's halo?"
While speaking, he pushed his nose bridge with his hand and made a wise man's gesture.
Johannessen: "The one who can suppress the [Charmer] is the [Focus], the queen ant is the [Charmer], and the queen ant's ability is passed on to the king. As part of the 'End Corridor', the king's understanding of the rules of the game is very close to that of the player, and even has a more special way of understanding. It uses the death of the guards and the reversal of the relationship between the hero and the evil god to deceive the protagonist's position."
Everyone looked at Li Nuo.
Li Nuo was puzzled: "What?"
Xiao Wu said weakly: "Did you give birth to a monster with that Meng Zang Jianan behind Cha Bai's back..."
Li Nuo immediately brought the topic back: "In other words, now..."
Maerjie: "Miss Cha Bai, do you want to check what he has done in the past six months?"
Li Nuo: "Shut up!"
[Tip: The preparation area has the effect of attracting enemies. In about fifteen minutes, the army of chimera ants will surround this place. During this period, everyone cannot leave~]
The system is very naughty.
Everyone wants to beat the system.
Li Nuo: "Let's get back to the topic! Wang now has the 'protagonist halo', so everyone can't kill it with normal means, but the system's perspective has been deceived by it once, and it's not so easy to deceive the system a second time."
Everyone nodded.
Xiao Wu: "Protagonist... Don't we have a protagonist... or a genuine one..."
Everyone looked at Li Nuo.
Li Nuo consciously stepped aside.
Pairs of eyes focused on Cha Bai behind him.
Cha Bai looked at Li Nuo and only smiled gently at him.
"Please me~"
