As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 142 Ignis
The slums are actually not far from the city limits.

So it took Tom about ten minutes to rush back.

On a stolen SUV.

Li Nuo had a dark face.

Tom was sweating.

Chabai read the book.

"Brother...I don't know why the phone exploded."

"It has touched the untouchable territory." Li Nuo took out his Nokia and tried to see if he could use it as a temporary mobile phone. He said, "Tom, tell me what happened at the border."

Tom said as he drove: "There is nothing, to be precise...the further you go out, the more you can feel the blurring of your vision, until the surrounding scenery becomes monochromatic."

"Monochrome?"

"Well, it's like entering a black and white comic. When you're on the verge of the edge, you'll get a system prompt saying, 'We're leaving the examination room. If you give up, you will be sent back to space and considered as a waiver.'" Tom recalled, "Later I I stretched out the border with my phone to take a photo and sent it to you.”

"How did you take the photo?"

"Use a multi-functional fishing rod." Tom said with one hand and took out a short stick folded together: "My weapon can be extended into a fishing rod at critical moments. The fishing line port is a grabber that can help me control my mobile phone to take pictures. "

This weapon is a prop for a fish-catching game...

Speaking of which, in fact, the various seemingly weak tools in "Endless Corridor" are actually very powerful to use. Most players who are aware of this factor can successfully reach level 25. On the contrary, players who only hold weapons such as sharp blades , because of the limitations of thinking, it is easy to fall into a dead end in the script.

Tom said: "It's so strange. In the photo I took, the outside is red, blood red."

"Hmm..." Li Nuo responded while taking Tom's mobile phone and checking some news from the outside world. After confirming again and again that the world was composed of external countries, he confirmed: "The system imposes restrictions on players. Players in the entire town You can’t go out, but the NPC can. Let’s do this for the time being. If we think about it any more, we have to clean up the memory bank, which is too troublesome..."

Tom: What the hell is a memory bank...

"Brother." Tom asked, "What is the purpose of asking me to explore the border?"

"Let's see if we can jump out of the assessment and enter the big map." Li Nuo suddenly frowned as soon as he finished speaking: "Brake the brakes!"

The moment Tom immediately stepped on the brakes, there was a bang!A low wall on the side of the block ahead suddenly exploded!
Among the bricks flying in the sky, a dozen people hit the ground or the wall. Judging from their strange costumes, they were most likely players.

Then there was the sound of an explosion nearby, and the fire lit up the night sky in an instant.

Everything happened too fast. Before Li Nuo and the others could fully react, Tom put the car in gear and reversed. It was dangerous here.

"Don't be anxious, leave slowly." Li Nuo said.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures smashed into the small wall that had been destroyed. One of them was obviously being beaten, and hit the wall against the ground. Before he got up, a figure fell from the sky and stamped the ground into cracks. .

Orange light emerged from the cracks, and the energy fountain spewed from the ground like a volcanic eruption, turning the ground of the block into a big pit!
Several players turned into charcoal and disappeared in an instant.

In an instant, the number of surviving players dropped sharply by 7.

Li Nuo could see clearly.

The person who was beaten was Nanami...

That is, the player who was defeated by him in the last scenario.

The person who beat her was wearing a red waistcoat, a red hat, long blond hair, and a five-pointed star pattern on the back of the clothes - Terry, from "Legend of the Wolf" and "KOF".

"Let's go." It only took two seconds for Li Nuo to go from calm to panic: "Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

"Brother, don't stutter!" Tom immediately turned the car around.

Who knows how the player got involved with Terry.

But what is certain is that these players must have done something they shouldn't have done, which caused Terry to take action.

at the same time.

Nanami looked at the conspicuous off-road vehicle.

The title ability saw players hiding a large amount of gold coins in the car, and Nanami thought of the bastard she had encountered in a certain script.

She spat blood on the ground.

He looked at Terry standing not far away, dancing with a sword in his hand, holding the scabbard in his mouth and putting the weapon away.

Then he immediately turned around and ran away in the off-road vehicle.

Li Nuo looked at the back window. The good news was that Terry hadn't come after him, but the bad news was that Nanami was here.

"Damn..." He gritted his teeth and was about to take action when he suddenly saw a hint of desperation in Nanami's eyes.

At this moment, Nanami transformed into golden light and crashed into the car window. As soon as she raised her head, she grabbed Li Nuo's collar and shouted desperately: "Why aren't you the player who went to space!"

"Even if you say so, I am not the strongest person detected by the system, so I can't help it." Li Nuo noticed that Nanami's right arm was gone, and she changed the weapon from a long stick that required both hands to a rapier.

"Damn it..." Nanami touched her forehead: "You're not the strongest... I'm so unhappy..."

"Can you stop acting like an old lady?" Li Nuo looked at Terry who was walking away and asked, "What happened?"

Tom: "It goes without saying...Brother, look at the radar chart. She has a prologue ticket in her hand."

Li Nuo understood at this moment that Nanami was another player who got the prologue ticket, so she was besieged by other players. The players destroyed the streets on a large scale, which made the righteous Terry take action.

After thinking about it, he grabbed Nanami's hair and said, "Get out of the car."

"Wait a minute!" Nanami held the car door and gritted her teeth and said, "Cooperate! You, the white-haired girl, and me, our combined combat power is enough to deal with all players, except for the guy who is deemed the strongest by the system by default!"

There is no eternal hatred, interests are the perpetual motion machine.

If you can survive, even if the other person is the culprit of your disability, it is just a matter of laughing it off.

At this point, Li Nuo let go: "Give this ticket in your hand to someone else. I don't care who you give it to."

"But... well."

"Then." Li Nuo pointed to the driver: "His name is Tom Page."

Nanami: "Ah, pig."

Tom: "..."

Li Nuo said: "Do you still remember that guy who played shit?"

"Well, you're talking about the guy with all kinds of high-tech equipment in his hand, right?" Nanami nodded: "Remember."

"Branch 3, underground boxing ring, go there to find and support him." Li Nuo took out a ticket and handed it to Nanami, and said: "This is the deposit for cooperation. I only have two requirements. One, stab this guy in the back." Let me put this kind of thing behind me, and secondly, if something happens to Brother Shit, I will get this ticket back with my own hands."

Nanami bit the ticket with her mouth and said through gritted teeth: "You kid...sooner or later I will cut off your right hand too!"

Li Nuo smiled: "Ha... survive first and then talk about it."

Their eyes met, and the covenant was made.

"Tom, you send us to the haunted house first, and then you and Nanami will work together at Marco's place."

Tom: "Huh? OK?"

Nanami: "Shall I cooperate with him?"

"Let me say one more thing." Li Nuo grabbed Nanami's neck: "Tom is a member of my ally (labor) relations team, don't touch him!"

"Is this how you treat ladies?" Nanami glanced at the wrinkled collar of her neck, and tilted her head at Cha Bai, who had been reading a book: "Hi, white-haired girl, long time no see."

Chabai hummed.

Nanami broke away from Li Nuo, looked at Cha Bai, and asked unhappily: "When are you still reading..."

"The magic book is just for preparation for a while." Chabai lifted the cover of the book, "Arzu's Lightning Technique" and explained: "I'm going to exorcise demons later. I'm looking for any means to deal with ghosts."

Nanami said with false eyes, "You are indeed a battle mage."

Li Nuo asked at this time: "Did you get anything from the prologue mission?"

Nanami took out a blank piece of paper: "There is no panel prompt."

She described her prologue mission.

Seven players entered a ruins where legendary ghosts appeared. The place had become a gang meeting place. The seven of them were kidnapped hostages. The task was simple, break free and escape.

One of the gang members has a very strong fighting ability. The A-level assessment is to kill him within 10 minutes and take away the white amulet in his hand.

"Although the system said he was very strong, he was not as powerful as expected." Nanami shrugged and said, "I originally wanted to use the prologue ticket to attract a wave of players and earn some gold coins, but I didn't expect that one of those guys actually committed self-destruction at the risk of his life. Attacking."

"That's why Terry was attracted." Li Nuo took out the gang details, handed it to Nanami, and said, "Give it to Brother Shit, and I'll take your rune in exchange."

"Exchanging shit... You've clearly made the filing yourself, right?"

"Don't forget I gave you a ticket."

"Tch, deal." Nanami shouted to Tom: "Brother! Remember to protect me later!"

Tom was shocked behind his back: "Brother, what kind of people are you surrounded by..."

[Branch 2, the martial arts master’s demon hunting mission has been cancelled]

Everyone, not just those in the car, but also the players in the town and space heard the news.

Nanami was stunned: "What's going on..."

Li Nuo put away the blank runes and instructed: "In a moment, if you complete the task of branch 3 and cannot contact us, go to the slums to find Mei Xuan."

"Mei Xuan? That female warrior from "Guilty Gear"?" Nanami suddenly woke up: "Damn it! It's not you who canceled the branch 2, right?"

"Don't slander." Li Nuo leaned back and looked out the car window. The surrounding scenery quickly receded, and the haunted house was not far away.

"Let me tell you, your gang name details should be related to the police and gangs in the branch, right?" Nanami frowned and said, "Giving it to the police or to the gangs should be able to trigger some benefits... …No, the whole city is searching for players now, this thing may be of great use to the gangs.”

"There are hundreds of people who think so. Even if there is no gang details, they will go to the gang." Li Nuo tilted his head, squinted his eyes and smiled: "There are not many branches left for everyone to do now. Ghosts and A slow-toned boxing ring is the last option, so what do you think everyone will choose to do in the early stage?"

The moment Nanami figured it out, her brain felt as numb as an electric shock.

Was it all his doing?

"Characters with clear values ​​like Terry, Keith and Chun-Li are not easy to get along with. While advancing the gang line, the police line will also advance together. There are so many players helping to advance it. Why should we be anxious? We have that time Why don't you go queue up with a group of people and empty out the things in a deserted store first?" Li Nuo was able to tell Nanami this, and it also imprinted a proof in the other person's mind that everyone was in the same boat for the time being.

"Brother, we're here." Tom stepped on the brakes.

The off-road vehicle was parked on the roadside leading to the countryside.

Cha Bai closed the book, put on his beret, and covered his face tightly. Li Nuo put on his mask and felt hat, and picked up his cane.

The two got out of the car. Li Nuo patted the car and said to Tom: "This bitch often stabs her in the back. I will give you the ticket after you finish your work."

Nanami: "Fuck you! I know what is important and what is important!"

"You two, don't die." Li Nuo waved his hand and left with Cha Bai.

The car restarts.

"What do you call it?" Tom asked.

"Sister." Nanami spoke concisely.

"Sister, look where they are going..." Tom pointed at a shrine on the hillside: "This is the United States. How come Japanese things escaped? Is it really a seamless world?"

"Don't worry about them." Nanami held her chin and said, "If they can all fail, none of us will be able to succeed. Hurry up and drive!"

At this moment, two police cars ran out of the street, their headlights locking on them like the eyes of wild beasts.

Under the light, Nanami squinted her eyes: "Tom, right? Let's go!"

Tom: "Ah... got it!"

The police car rushed like a steel beast, the SUV put into gear and sped away. Nanami threw her prologue ticket out of the car window.

At the same time, she took out a strange-looking grenade with a Pac-Man smiley face from the compartment of her backpack, bit down the bolt with her teeth, and threw it out the window.

The moment the police car passed by, it suddenly turned its wheels to avoid the grenade.

Boom!
With an explosion, the grenade emitted a thick fog, and dozens of cartoon Pac-Man jumped out of it and stuck to the bodies of the two police cars, blocking the front windows of the police cars and forcing them to brake to a stop.

The police got out of the car and peeled off the Pac-Man that had been turned into stickers.

"What kind of black technology is this?"

"Here's a ticket!"

The police officer picked up the ticket, opened the back door, and said to a player whose hands were cuffed, "Is this it?"

The player nodded: "Yes... you see, I should have confirmed my identity..."

"Oh, it's just dog bite dog." The police officer still refused to believe the player's words.

15 minutes ago.

An undercover gangster was killed, and the murderer had some kind of supernatural ability.

Coupled with the bank robbery case, all the signs were not favorable to the police.

An officer picked up the phone and called headquarters.

The sound of pages turning was soft, and Chunli leaned on the sofa in front of the fireplace to read. In this slow-paced era, every time she stayed up late, she felt that the time before the sun rose always seemed very long.

Just when her sleepiness was rising, a rapid ringing of the phone woke her up.

Chunli rubbed her eyes, then walked to the stairs, picked up the phone receiver on the cabinet and put it to her ear.

"Is it near that damn shrine? Find some people to guard the shrine."

The policeman on the other side of the phone said: "I gave the order, but... no one can get out of that damn haunted house, so I don't think there is any need to focus on it. But you, take a proper rest. We all know this place." The city has turned into a piece of cake because of Geese's existence, but among the people who can pose a threat to him, you are the only one on our side."

Chunli hung up the phone, walked to the dressing table, and looked at her messy hair in the mirror.

Take the face cream and wipe it on your cheeks.

"I would also like to rest."

Her pupils were aimed at a report on the table, which read: Human Gene Record Table.

This plan was found by the undercover agent who had just died.

From Gista's planning department.

Keith, the figure in charge of the largest gang in the United States, suddenly appeared a year ago. In just a few months, he took over a giant enterprise and transformed it into the current Keith Group, becoming the leader of Junlin North Town. emperor.

Interpol has been investigating Guice's movements.

He didn't have one.

There is no evidence of ever having lived in this world.

Like a monster that suddenly jumped out of the stone, he is clever, cunning and has a heroic temperament.

If he is not captured, Chunli fears that the world will fall back into the past ruled by a dark figure.

Chunli stopped what she was doing.

"They're right... I have to clear myself up."

With this in mind, she planned to go to the bathroom and take a shower, hoping to wake herself up a little.

And outside.

A black car parked on the side of the road, and Geese was sitting in the car. He combed his back and looked at Chunli's residence with sharp eyes like an eagle.

The subordinate sitting in the co-pilot hung up the phone and said to Giese behind him: "Mr. Giese, we have made arrangements and can take action at any time."

Giss didn't speak, just looked at Chunli's house, and then touched his lips.

After a minute of silence.

He said: "I remember, a group of strange guys came and said they wanted to serve, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Guise, they all have..."

Giese didn't let him finish, and said directly: "After the data extraction is completed, put bombs on them, don't let them find out, and then let these guys kill Chunli."

……

space.

In a certain cabin.

The Sauron quartet stood there like nails.

Marsh asked timidly: "I said, Sauron, could this old thing be..."

Yake continued: "There is nothing wrong with it, it's obviously..."

Sauron: "Ignis."

The light of the flashlight shines on a desiccated corpse.

The corpse's blond hair was as messy as withered grass, and he was covered in a worn-out technological war suit. He was sitting on a chair, with his head lowered, not breathing, but he seemed to be still alive, sitting there quietly. It can also exude a murderous aura.

No one dared to take another step in front of him.

Even if he is dead.

Ignis, the final boss of the King of Fighters Sound Nest Chapter, has died. This is the data displayed on Sauron's glasses.

He approached Ignis with a flashlight, squatted in front of him, and touched his body with his fingers.

After rummaging around, I didn't find any clues or guidance, but I did see a broken button under Ignis's dry palm on the armrest.

[Broken transmission device]

【Quality: Garbage】

【Effect: None】

[Brief description: The switch of a certain transmitter has been damaged, and the main program has completely left the area it controls. It cannot be repaired, and the script cannot be taken out]

"What is this?" Marsh came over and asked.

"Who knows." Sauron took Ignis's hand away and carefully looked at the button of the transmission device.

"Teleportation device?" Yak also saw the data panel and said with a smile: "Hey, this thing might be able to help us get out of here!"

"I'm afraid not." Sauron said: "The system has told us that this thing cannot be repaired, but... its existence is reasonable. It appears together with Ignis, is it telling us..."

He looked outside the door, at the red earth outside the huge glass of the control cabin, and murmured: "Is it possible that Ignis is the culprit who made the earth become like this?"

Jacques: "He's already dead."

Marsh smiled and said: "Sound Nest has mastered all kinds of black technologies. An organization that can even develop high-tech combat suits can't do anything."

Yake said: "Sound Nest is a high-tech company, and the earth became like this obviously because of some weird force. The two have nothing to do with each other!"

"I don't know." Sauron put away the flashlight beam, walked out and said, "I'm afraid the specific clues can only be found on the earth."

Sauron was thinking: I hope someone can connect all the clues.

Otherwise... He had a hunch that the reason why the so-called Hundred Ghost Night Walk would start in twelve hours was to find clues for players and trigger some special mechanism.

If we just fight for the so-called tickets unilaterally, without paying attention to the most critical world line context...the assessment may lead to the group being wiped out when the Hundred Demons Night Parade comes.

I hope someone can connect all the truth...

Although he thinks so.

But you can't place your hopes on others.

Thinking of this, Sauron frowned and shouted: "Let's go, find an escape cabin or something that can return to the surface as soon as possible, we have to get out of here as soon as possible!"

……

Note: Ignis - the final BOSS of the fighting game "The King of Fighters 2001", the leader of the Nests organization, and the culprit of a series of incidents in the Nests chapter (from Baidu Encyclopedia).
