Cataclysm King

Chapter 3 Steam and Magic

The resident next door looked human.

She wore a gas mask with a brass skull pattern on her head, and a tattered linen cloak covered most of her body, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

The moment she rushed out, her eyes were as sharp as a knife.

However, after glancing at the door opened behind Ji Xun from the corner of her eye, the murderous intent in her eyes dissipated instantly, and she blurted out in surprise, "You're not dead yet?"

The voice was deliberately lowered, but it could be heard that he was not very old.

Probably because he recognized himself, he didn't do anything.

"???"

Hearing this, Ji Xun complained in his heart.

To die is to die once.

However, this woman seems to know herself?

Ji Xun didn't know anything just after time travelling, so his intuition told him that it's best not to speak indiscriminately.

At the moment of the confrontation, the girl with the mechanical arm on the opposite side seemed to think of something, and put down the steam cannon barrel in her hand first, and made a friendly gesture.

Looking at Ji Xun's empty clothes, she obviously guessed something. She was even more puzzled, and murmured again: "Stayed with the 'Fallen Witch' all night, and you're still alive?"

"."

Ji Xun still didn't speak, and put down the gun in his hand.

The other party immediately revealed that there was a [Fallen Witch] in the room, obviously knowing a lot.

The mysterious woman looked at the silent Ji Xun, pondered for a moment, seemed to think of something, and asked straight to the point, "Are you a solo hunter or do you have a team? I mean, are you interested in cooperating?"

Very straightforward.

As she said that, she was afraid that the guy in front of her would not understand her current situation, so she added: "Otherwise, in your state, if the fallen witch comes to you tonight, you probably won't live until tomorrow."

"What?"

Ji Xun listened, quickly calculating the information in the words in his mind.

The woman's tone is very serious, she probably just met her, but she probably doesn't know the original owner.

It also saves a lot of trouble.

But what does this mean, I can't survive tonight?
Where did this start?
This woman obviously has a lot of information he desperately needs.

With a change of thoughts in his mind, Ji Xun remained calm and asked tentatively, "Cooperation?"

"Ah."

The mysterious woman saw that he did not directly refuse, and said bluntly: "I am interested in the materials produced by the [Fallen Witch]. If you are willing to cooperate, we can hunt down this B-level pollutant tonight. Although there is no guarantee of success , but at least I will try my best to kill it. Only by killing the monster can you leave the space alive."

After a pause, she added: "Of course, I will try my best to keep you safe."

"."

Ji Xun heard that this meant killing monsters and exploding materials.

What is this different-dimensional space, it seems that there is really a copy of a game or something.

He wanted to inquire about something more, but he knew too little about this world, and he didn't know where to ask in a short time.

And the girl with the mechanical arm obviously had a clear mind.

She keenly caught Ji Xun's moment of hesitation, thinking that he didn't believe herself, and said in a strange tone: "Although I don't know how you survived last night. But you don't think that [Fallen Witch] will Let you go?"

"."

Ji Xun still didn't speak, but he was thinking about the naked corpse lying inside.

Anyone who gets close will be polluted by radiation. This is a monster that I can't understand.

Moreover, the man in front of him was so well-equipped that he couldn't be sure to kill him in words, which further confirmed his previous judgment, and he probably couldn't handle it.

However, this person's words may not be fully believed.

Ji Xun fell into a moment of contemplation.

Can you still hesitate?
Ordinary people are targeted by B-level disasters, and if someone helps them, why don't they agree quickly?

Seeing his hesitation, the girl with the mechanical arm obviously made up her own mind: this guy doesn't have a clear understanding of the horror of the [Fallen Witch], right?
She thought of something, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you just came in without buying any information?"

That look, as if looking at a fool who was reckless and sent to death.

"."

Ji Xunzheng was worried that he didn't know how to open the set of information. When the other party said this, he took his seat by default.

He asked casually: "You mean [Fallen Witch] will come to me again?"

Hearing this, the mysterious woman had such a helpless expression under the mask.

She pondered for a moment and explained: "Then you should have seen Enlightenment. This is a B-level catastrophe of the spiritual system. It can lock the soul of human beings. You stayed with it for one night. No matter where you hide in this space It can find you anywhere."

"."

Ji Xun raised his eyelids slightly.

It turns out that enlightenment is not something you can see alone, but a certain rule of this world.

I understood what I said, and I was "marked" by the monster.

And he also immediately understood that the reason why this woman wants to cooperate is obviously not because of his combat power, but because he wants to use the monster's characteristic of marking, and needs a "bait".

But hearing this, Ji Xun dispelled all worries.

After all, if you don't know each other, no one will help you for no reason.Even if he used it, he didn't take it to heart.

The cooperation of value exchange is more stable.

He pondered for a moment, then asked the doubt in his heart: "Can you kill it now? I mean"

Originally, he wanted to say that the monster was still dormant, it seemed to have no attack power, and it should be easy to kill.

But I didn't expect to be interrupted directly.

The girl with the mechanical arm was full of eyes, as expected, this guy didn't know anything, and she vetoed: "If you can kill the B-level disaster so easily, so many people will not die in this different-dimensional space. It doesn't matter if you can destroy it. The body, is able, no matter what method you use to kill it, it will be resurrected intact at night. This has been tried more than once. And anyone who gets close to its body will be left with a 'hate mark' '. As night falls, those marked must die."

Oh.

This plan really didn't work.

He also just asked.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows: "Death for sure?"

"Correct!"

The girl with the mechanical arm said firmly, "As far as I know, there are no exceptions."

"If you don't believe it, you can try to shoot twice, anyway, you have been marked."

As she said that, she took another look at Ji Xun, obviously surprised why this guy didn't die, and added another question: "I'm curious, how did you survive last night?"

"."

Ji Xun didn't intend to explain that the original owner was dead, nor could he explain why he was still alive.

But in the current situation, I have no choice at all.

Although he didn't believe everything the woman said, he could basically confirm a few points.

First, the monster inside is really tricky, at least he can't solve it by himself.

Second, the opponent is equipped with excellent equipment, so there is no need to talk so much to kill him.Tied up as bait seems to be the same?Or you need to cooperate with yourself to be the bait.

But no matter what, at least before killing the [Fallen Witch], he is still useful.

There is value, but there is no danger for the time being.

Ji Xun knows nothing about this world, and just needs a source of information right now.

Without hesitation, he said directly, "I promise to cooperate."

As he spoke, he added: "But before that, can you share some information? I mean, about this space."

"can!"

The girl with the mechanical arm was obviously relieved when she heard this.

I'm afraid of meeting a fool who doesn't understand the situation.

With a bait, it will be much more convenient to hunt and kill that disaster by yourself.

As she spoke, she gestured to Room 2013, which she just came out of, and said, "But there are still twelve hours before dark, and I still have some preparations to do. If you want to live until night, you can go to the room and stay there. Or if you are not afraid of encountering paintings of monsters, just follow me. But I don’t guarantee that you will be safe.”

Ji Xun said decisively: "I'm with you."

Obviously, it's safer to follow this one.
