Chapter 7 The Two Visit

"What is he doing here?" Fang Lin's mind quickly flashed several possibilities, but none of them were certain. The only thing that was certain was that the stone was able to enter here, and it should have been invited by Lao Hu.

"I came here to find you." The stone said straight to the point. "I came to convey the invitation of the Thunder Master. He wants to talk to you about something. In order to reassure you, you can choose the time and place."

Fang Lin squinted his eyes and thought carefully for a while, then pondered:

"Okay, the place is here, and the time... I still have fifteen hours to return to the real world. You can come to me during this time."

The stone stood up, nodded and walked away, walking very steadily, and every step seemed to be a fixed distance, not at all frivolous. The vigilance in Fang Lin's eyes became more and more intense. The progress of this guy, the stone, was really terrifying. If he ran into the Thunder Master in the nightmare world again next time, whether Lao Hu could resist him was really a big question!

An hour later, the Thunderer arrived as promised, accompanied by a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The man's eyes were very cold, like a ghost fire. When he looked at people, it was as if he was locking onto their souls with his eyes. The brim of the man's hat was pulled down low, and most of his face was deliberately hidden in the shadows. It was vaguely seen that the man's appearance was ordinary and even a bit rustic, but the cold aura emanating from him almost made people feel that the sunlight was interpreted as cold.

Fang Lin smiled and asked the wretched Fu to bring three cups of tea, and enthusiastically persuaded the two to drink tea. But he never asked what the two were doing here. At this time, it was clear that the Thunderer had something to do with him, so of course he had to firmly grasp the initiative on the field. As soon as he asked, he was already at a disadvantage.

The three sat opposite each other for a while, and Fang Lin added tea and water, very attentive. More thoughtful than the hotel waiter, Lei Zhe sighed in his heart, knowing that the guy in front of him was extremely cunning, so he could only get to the point first:

"I heard that you had a very unhappy quarrel with the mountain ghost of the Nulan team?"

Fang Lin's heart moved, and he smiled:

"Sir, you should be mainly active in the third world, why are you suddenly interested in the mountain ghost?"

Lei Zhe said lightly:

"It seems that I asked you the question first?"

Fang Lin smiled:

"It seems that I don't have the obligation to answer your question?"

Lei Zhe snorted coldly and said grimly:

"Boy. Don't think I have something to ask you. I came here today because my friend wants to make a deal with you!"

"Deal?" Fang Lin said thoughtfully: "Deal related to the mountain ghost?"

"Yes." The man in the wide hat said only one word. The voice was hoarse and dry: "The mountain ghost will go to assassinate Iori Yagami in the next world. If he succeeds, your future life in this II world will be almost impossible! I believe you don't want him to succeed. And I brought you a way to track him."

"Then why don't you go?" Fang Lin said directly.

"Because I can't go." The mysterious man said hoarsely: "It takes a lot of effort for me to enter the ordinary world of II difficulty, let alone the world that is entered through props?"

"Very good." Fang Lin smiled and said: "Then what is the content of the deal? Let me guess, are you sending me to the KOF world that the mountain ghost enters unconditionally. And my reward is to go in and disrupt the situation and make him unable to complete the task? Destruction is usually easier than construction, so it's not difficult, right?"

"That's probably what I mean...but sending you to that world is not unconditional. The cost of opening the space door will be charged per person." The mysterious hat man added.

"Oh...it sounds good. This is a good opportunity to kill the mountain ghost." Fang Lin held his chin and thought. Then he stood up and said directly:

"Goodbye."

The Thunderer was stunned:

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know what goodbye means?" Fang Lin sneered: "For those who are not sincere, I didn't say get out, which is very respectful to you."

The mysterious top hat man stared at Fang Lin's face like a venomous snake:

"What did you say?"

The atmosphere in the air suddenly solidified, and the threat was about to come out! Fang Lin sneered:

"Is being a top ten person so great? Don't forget that you are here to beg me! I am afraid of everything, but I am never afraid of threats! You want me to respect you. Okay! You have to learn to respect me first! If you treat me as an idiot, then I will treat you as a fool! If you want to seek cooperation with me, you must show your sincerity and explain your identity first."

The mysterious top hat man's face was uncertain for a long time. Then he said:

"You can tell from the Thunderer's attitude towards me that I am one of the top ten. I am the Traveler."

Fang Lin smiled easily:

"Very good, Mr. Traveler, tell me why you don't want the Mountain Ghost to succeed. I guess it's because he is your candidate, and the battle for the title of the top ten is coming soon, right?"

Although Fang Lin's words were a bit abrupt, his voice was very sincere. The Traveler snorted coldly, but did not deny:

"If it weren't for my enemy's deliberate and clever arrangement. Give him that thing, how could the Mountain Ghost get this great opportunity to attack Iori Yagami? If he really killed Iori Yagami, I would have to go through a lot of trouble to deal with him!"

"What exactly is that thing?" Fang Lin asked.

The traveler waved his hand, and a clear and real-life holographic image immediately appeared in the air. It was a piece of snow-white hair, and there were a series of instructions next to it:

"SS prop: Orochi's hair. This prop is the hair of Orochi, the long snake. After use, you can freely choose the time period. Carry your companions through the nightmare world. The number of uses is 1/1."

"Prop description: This is one of the most terrifying and powerful people in KOF: the white hair falling from the big snake's head, with the ability to control time."

"Note: The difficulty of the nightmare that the reincarnation belongs to when using the Orochi's Hair will affect the accuracy of the Orochi's Hair shuttle. When the reincarnation itself belongs to the i-space difficulty, it can accurately shuttle and cut in."

Fang Lin looked at this thing and analyzed the cause and effect. At this time, a puzzle in his mind was finally solved. According to common sense, after the mountain ghost obtained the SS prop, he should keep a low profile and strictly control his subordinates to leak information. How could there be such a fuss and fear that others would not know? It turns out that the person who spread the news was not a mountain ghost at all! Instead, one of the top ten travelers, the Traveler, was behind it! The mountain ghost knows that paper cannot contain fire, so he simply resorts to tricks and turns passive into active in order to lure him into ambush.

"Because my followers and I belong to the iii space difficulty, it is extremely difficult to follow Shangui and others to the same world. And I definitely can't sit back and ignore it, so I can only think of some ways. Finally, It was Lei Zhe who mentioned you to me."

"So that's it..." Fang Lin smiled and said: "Since Mr. Traveler has been honest with me, let me tell you frankly. Before that, I also considered going to stir up the situation. I didn't know that the two miststones heard that Have you passed?"

"Is there anyone who can get the mist stone in II space difficulty?" Lei Zhe said in surprise. Under Fang Lin's discreet guidance and questioning, he gradually learned that this thing is similar to a positioning receiver. As long as you wear it, you can track the world where the designated person is going! So when you enter the world, you can choose whether to follow or not! This kind of thing is extremely rare even in the III world, and Lei Zhe has only seen its properties with his own eyes once.

Fang Lin thought for a while and said straightforwardly:

"To be honest with you, Mr. Traveler, I have actually carefully considered whether to go and snipe the mountain ghost before. But in the end I chose to give up because the chance of winning was too slim. If you don't want to see this, it would be very difficult. If a strong candidate grows up to be even more terrifying, then you have to give me some benefits to strengthen them, at least to make me feel like I won't rush in and die. If you come to be a gunman, then there’s no need to talk about it.”

What Fang Lin said above was actually a naked request for benefits, but he said it more tactfully, but the firmness in his tone was unquestionable.

The traveler had obviously considered this situation and came prepared. In fact, he had to admit that although the conversation with Fang Lin was unpleasant, the guy in front of him was very shrewd and had surprisingly strong insight. He could often grasp the most critical things from some details.

The traveler placed a prop on the coffee table in front of him and said solemnly:

"As long as you are willing to go, this thing will be given to you."

When Fang Lin looked at the attributes, he immediately started salivating, but his face remained calm.
