Chapter 175: The Last Ten Minutes, the Countdown Begins
"Promotion?"
August 19, Player World, Blood Sacrifice Event Coming Progress Search Reading
Li Feng read the words on the letter in his hand, and he had the relic fortune teller's letter opener at hand.
Just now, Li Feng used this letter opener to divine how to stop the blood sacrifice event from coming.
As expected, the fortune teller's letter opener still didn't speak human language.
The answer Li Feng got was only two words-"promotion".
'Promotion? What does it mean? Can promotion be...'
Li Feng was about to complain, but suddenly remembered the player's cycle task.
The requirement of the cycle task is that the player must be promoted to a certain level within a fixed game cycle.
The task reward is to stop the fusion of the two worlds and postpone the time for the next batch of players to be generated.
'Stop the fusion of the two worlds...'
Li Feng suddenly understood something.
So, the blood sacrifice event is actually a fusion of the two worlds.
It makes sense. After all, it is the extraordinary in the game world invading the player world, which is indeed a fusion.
Therefore, as long as someone completes the cycle task before the blood sacrifice event reaches 100%, the blood sacrifice event will stop.
Looking at his third-level flint, which has been fused to 95% progress, Li Feng feels that it is not impossible.
And just yesterday, when he was fishing by the lake, he found a very dense grove by the lake.
As long as he pays more attention, he can go fishing during the day, not just at night.
Li Feng thought about it and began to pack up his fishing gear and open the chat channel at the same time.
Because the blood sacrifice event has already arrived at 60%, there are now all kinds of strange events outside.
Some have been blocked, but there are also countless rumors.
Li Feng is going to see what information his group friends who are also players have learned.
Sure enough, there are many things that need to be harmonized, and because of these things, people are panicking.
*: "It's hard to live like this, everyone, is there any solution?"
*: "Same question, it's too difficult."
*: "I really want to be strong, but the problem is, I just found out that I can't be strong."
*: "You only regret not having enough knowledge when you need it!"
*: "What about the official players? Can you come out and tell me if there are any shelters, or give some self-help plans."
*: "Wait, didn't the official players say that they could stop the blood sacrifice incident from the root?"
*: "That's what they said, but do you think there is enough time?"
*: "Every time the blood sacrifice incident comes, The progress is 1%, 9%, 20%, 30%. According to the rules, the next arrival will be 40%.
Add the current 60%, it will be 100%. ”
*: "Indeed, there are still arrival times, half a day, one day, two days, and the next time is estimated to be three days later, at 5 pm on the 21st."
*: "Oh my God, there are less than three days left."
*: "Don't be too pessimistic, or ask the official players first, maybe there is a way."
In front of the chat channel, Li Feng looked at the next arrival time calculated by the players, which was consistent with the time he calculated earlier.
There is really not much time left for them.
However, nearly three days is definitely enough for him to be promoted to the third level and complete the player cycle task.
If the fortune teller's letter opener divination result is accurate, then it is not difficult to end the blood sacrifice event.
Just thinking about this, the official player who was called in the chat channel replied.
0097: "Everyone, we do have a way to stop the blood sacrifice incident from the root, but the specific details are not convenient to disclose for the time being, but you can rest assured."
*: "So there is a way!"
*: "Great, it's good to have a way."
The official player's words made the players in the chat channel feel much more at ease, and the panic state was immediately eased a lot.
Li Feng also felt relieved when he saw this.
At the same time, he wondered in his heart whether the official method was also to complete the player's cycle task, and then use the task reward to prevent the so-called fusion of the two worlds.
If this is true, then it seems that the official has found the right person.
That's right, there are so many players in the world, and he must be more than one who is close to completing the cycle task.
But other people's promotion is their own, and Li Feng knows what he should do.
After all, after returning to the game world, he probably has to face the monster in the sad theater.
As long as there is an opportunity for promotion, it must not be missed.
While thinking so, Li Feng entered the shadow world and went out.
…
“Has No. 122 arrived yet?”
At the Yuncheng Research Institute, Huang Yanyan and many other official players were preparing the alchemical materials needed by No. 122.
And they tried their best to provide him with what he needed for promotion.
No. 122 was the third-level fourth-level hunter contacted by the headquarters of the institute this time.
He was only one level away from completing the player cycle task.
If anyone can prevent the blood sacrifice from happening this time, it must be him.
However, the headquarters believed that it would be slower to rely on his own strength, so they asked the Yuncheng Research Institute to receive him.
Use all the resources of the institute to assist him in being promoted to the third-level fifth level as soon as possible.
“Well, Team Leader Gao just talked to him on the phone and said that he was on his way and would arrive in the afternoon.”
Qi Heng replied, and then went to another material room to get the materials.
“No!”
Seeing that Qi Heng thought it was normal, Huang Yanyan followed him out and asked in a place with fewer people:
"Who is No. 122? I've never heard of him before. Is he reliable?"
"Definitely reliable, you don't know."
Because it has been confirmed that the blood sacrifice incident can be prevented, Qi Heng is in a good mood. He said to Huang Yanyan easily:
"Among the players of their period, 122 is very similar to your 67. Both are legendary.
Besides, he is different from your 67. He has long been recruited by the headquarters, but he is not an official player. He is a very free non-staff player.
During this crisis, the headquarters contacted him first and found that he was about to complete the cycle task, so they asked us to assist him."
Speaking of 122, Qi Heng looked a little envious.
"Oh——"
Listening to Qi Heng's admiring introduction, Huang Yanyan only replied monotonously.
Qi Heng compared 122 with 67, who was in the same period as her, which made Huang Yanyan a little uncomfortable.
But since 122's identity was verified by the headquarters, it must be that she was overthinking.
At the moment, she stopped asking in detail and concentrated on preparing for the arrival of 122.
…
The hot afternoon sun shone on the lake, sparkling.
Beside the lake, a small tree polluted by the blood in the rain had unusually lush branches and leaves.
Their roots protruded from the mud, and they were long and thin and covered the ground, and then extended to the lake.
And not only the roots, but also their branches, extended infinitely in all directions.
This is the hidden fishing spot that Li Feng found last night.
In fact, this park is full of polluted and mutated plants.
It's just that this forest happened to be by the lake, which provided Li Feng with a temporary cover when setting up the barrier.
Walking under the dense branches and leaves like the roof, Li Feng withdrew from the black and white twisted shadow world.
After that, he quickly began to set up a closed barrier, and when the barrier was completed, he disappeared again.
"Bang!"
It didn't take long for the first polluted carp to be killed by Li Feng.
Compared with the 30% chance of the blood sacrifice, the polluted carp is now much stronger in terms of aggressiveness.
However, Li Feng was also surprised to find that killing the carp with a higher degree of pollution also increased his fusion progress.
Without thinking too much, Li Feng continued to concentrate on fishing.
…
"Lost? The car broke down? Oh, don't worry, I'll send someone to pick you up."
In the Yuncheng Research Institute, the team leader in charge of this incident put down his mobile phone and said to Qi Heng, Huang Yanyan, and another official player:
"There is a problem with the navigation of 122. You go to this location now and pick him up."
Hearing the order, Huang Yanyan and the other three took action immediately.
"Why is the sky cloudy?"
Coming out of the underground research institute, Huang Yanyan looked at the sky and muttered to herself.
"It's just that the weather in Yuncheng is cloudy. I read the weather reports of other areas before coming out. Don't worry, Sister Huang."
Xiao Wang, who was traveling with Huang Yanyan and Qi Heng, said.
Huang Yanyan nodded when she heard the words. She was just paranoid.
Somehow, she always felt uneasy today. She took a deep breath and got into the car without thinking about it.
According to the address given by Team Leader Gao, Qi Heng, Huang Yanyan and Xiao Wang soon arrived at a construction site on the outskirts of the city.
Under the dim sky, from a distance, the three of them saw a car with lights on next to a deep pit of a foundation that was not under construction. There was also a person in front of the car, who seemed to be repairing the car.
After confirming by phone, it was 122.
"Hey, I'm unlucky too. I was led here by the bad map, and then the car broke down."
After greeting Qi Heng and the others, 122 complained.
122 was tall and thin, and his face with sunglasses looked very young.
Huang Yanyan subconsciously looked up at the sky.
It was more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The sky, which should have been bright, was gloomy everywhere because of the dark clouds blocking the light.
In this kind of weather, it would be very inconsistent to wear sunglasses.
Huang Yanyan thought instinctively.
Meanwhile, Qi Heng and Xiao Wang exchanged a few words with 122, and then prepared to help 122 tow the car and pack the tool kit he had just used to repair the car.
Because he was a very important person, they had to take 122 back to the institute as soon as possible.
In the darkening sky, Huang Yanyan also planned to help.
She walked towards the two bright headlights, but the next second.
As a light-seeker, she suddenly saw 122 in the game world in the light of the headlights. Next to him was... a paper crane. They seemed to be talking about something in secret.
While Huang Yanyan was wondering, the next moment, the scene in the light suddenly changed, and it was still the game world.
Under the inky night sky, the dark sea water beat against the embankment.
Not far away, the sad theater with seven lights lit up with a dim light.
Those lights passed through the darkness and illuminated a girl in a snow-white dress.
It was still 122 in the game world. In the night, he walked to the girl and said something.
The next second, the girl turned around.
Her skin was as white as snow, but her lips were as red as blood.
After talking to 122 for a few words, the girl seemed very satisfied, and her blood-red lips curved into a smile.
Then, she slowly walked into 122 and put her delicate arms around 122's neck.
The girl's smile gradually deepened, and she opened her blood-red mouth, revealing a row of teeth as dense as a shark's.
Soon, she bit 122's neck.
In the night, under the thick hood, 122's scarlet eyes glowed brighter.
There is something wrong with this person!
After seeing clearly the pictures flashing by in the light, Huang Yanyan immediately understood that this was a revelation given to her by the goddess of life and wisdom.
This is a scam, there is something wrong with 122!
Looking at Qi Heng and Xiao Wang who were beside 122, Huang Yanyan walked behind the institute's car, used the car as a cover, and shouted:
"Captain, our tire is flat!"
"What?"
Qi Heng was shocked. He winked at Xiao Wang and asked him to check quickly.
At the same time, he took two quick steps, and the Spellweaver's spell was ready.
What Huang Yanyan said just now was a secret code used by the research institute to infiltrate enemies inside. Both he and Xiao Wang knew it.
Although they didn't understand what the problem was, neither of them dared to be careless.
Regardless of whether it's a misunderstanding or not, let's follow the rules and control 122 first.
However, just before Qi Heng used his reserved spell, he felt a pain in his back and lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, the strong smell of blood penetrated his nose, and Qi Heng tried hard to open his eyes.
Under the dark red sky, a deep pit came into view. It was at least ten meters deep. It looked like the foundation dug for building a house on the construction site.
Looking down, masses of blood-red mist are floating at the bottom of the deep pit that serves as the foundation, and are gradually increasing in size visible to the naked eye.
Qi Heng stared blankly at the edge of the pit for a few seconds, and then his head in severe pain recalled what had just happened.
He realized that his angle of view was very low, and after looking at himself, he realized that he was kneeling next to the pit with his hands tied behind his back.
He looked up and looked ahead, only to see that the construction site where work had been suspended had been wrapped in more blood mist.
"Team...Captain, are you awake?"
Xiao Wang's difficult voice came to his ears, and Qi Heng followed the voice and looked to the right.
I saw Xiao Wang, who was also tied with his backhand like him, kneeling next to the deep pit three steps away from him.
At this moment, Xiao Wangtou's face was full of injuries, and what happened just now was self-evident.
"you……"
Qi Heng was just about to ask Xiao Wang about his situation, but saw Xiao Wang looking to Qi Heng's left and saying:
"Sister Huang was shot."
"cough."
At the same time, a muffled groan came from Qi Heng's left.
Looking quickly, Huang Yanyan was also tied with his hands behind his back, kneeling next to the deep pit that smelled of blood.
On her body, there were several bloody holes, and the blood came out of the wounds and stained her clothes red.
"Can't die."
Huang Yanyan coughed up a lot of blood foam and said something.
She was a light prayer. Although she was shot in a vital part, she would not die quickly because of the healing spell.
It's just that 122 is not using a gun from the player world, but a pistol with extraordinary properties in the game world.
This greatly reduced Huang Yanyan's healing spells.
There were footsteps behind him, and Qi Heng immediately turned his head to look.
Under the dark red sky, 122 walked leisurely behind them with a revolver engraved in his hand.
The sunglasses on his face had long been taken off, and he was looking at Qi Heng with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"who are you?"
Qi Heng asked through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, 122 opened his mouth and laughed in a hoarse voice:
"Have you seen it before? It's in the system announcement. 2121-0776 is my number."
Although he had expected it, Qi Heng still felt like something exploded in his mind.
It turns out that he is the player who completed the "Immortal Believer" achievement and caused the blood sacrifice event to happen.
"But! But how did you pass the headquarters' review of your identity?"
Because 122 joined the headquarters very early and became a non-staff player, this means that he must have passed the complete verification of his identity by the headquarters.
This was also the reason why Qi Heng had no doubts about him earlier.
But now it seems that the headquarters doesn't even know his real number.
"Hehehe——"
After hearing Qi Heng's question, 122, or 0776, smiled contemptuously:
"Because the real 0122 has been made into a puppet by me a long time ago.
When those people asked me to send a code verification number under my real name in the chat channel, I would control 0122.
Ha, with the current game mechanics, you can't find anything at all. "
"So what do you want to do?"
Qi Heng said angrily.
"I want the extraordinary to come, and I want our world to be filled with the extraordinary, just today, and you..."
0776 glanced at his watch, pointed to the blood-red pit in front of him, and continued:
“When 5 o’clock comes, you will be her first sacrifices.
Your extraordinary abilities and your flesh and blood will become her ladder to enter this world. "
"impossible!"
Seeing 0776's madness, Qi Heng retorted loudly:
"The system has its own rules. The next blood sacrifice event will not happen today."
"That's right."
As expected, 0776 smiled easily:
"According to the rules of the system, the next blood sacrifice event should occur in two days, but...
Because I instigated those Abyss Blessed Ones who posted videos online to complete the instigation task, I made the final blood sacrifice incident come earlier. "
0776 looked at his watch again, facing the endless blood mist around him, and said with a chuckle:
"The last ten minutes, the countdown begins."
