darkest personality

Chapter 6 6. 'Rick Jones'

"It's okay to take you out, but I'm not helping others in vain."

Bai Ye glanced at the hand extended by Rick Jones, and responded coldly: "They are all here to explore, so I can't let me go back empty-handed."

"You... you snob, I can promise to pay you a very handsome reward after you take me out of here."

"Tsk, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? There's no basis for my words. How do I know if you'll turn your back on me afterwards?"

"But I'm penniless now."

Rick Jones said anxiously.

"Then there is no other way, I'm afraid you can only stay in this ghost place and wait to die."

"..."

The thin, blind man looked quite angry when he heard this.

Blue and black blood vessels began to emerge under his pale skin, his face became a little distorted, his teeth were clenched tightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger.

Bai Ye saw this scene in his eyes, and said with a sneer: "It's still too late to change your mind, you who came early, you won't gain nothing, right?"

"Hehehe..."

Rick Jones laughed back angrily. After some consideration, he reached into his trousers pocket and took out a square stone emitting a soft blue light.

He held up the stone with his hand and said: "Scumbag, I really regret that I reminded you when you touched the mechanism, take it, and hurry up to fulfill your promise!"

Bai Ye took the stone, and an introduction appeared next to the stone;
【Bright and shining gem】

[Category: Very Rare Items]

[Special effect: Unknown, needs identification. 】

【Load: 3】

[Can you bring out the scene: yes]

[Introduction: Judging from its unique shape, this thing should have a different purpose.But judging from the shiny luster it exudes, this is obviously a precious gemstone, and handing it over to the auction house may bring back a large sum of money. 】

"It's almost there."

Putting the stone into his pocket, Bai Ye suggested, "For the sake of convenience, I decided to leave here with you on my back."

"Of course it would be best."

Rick Jones was overjoyed.

"So you have to help hold this torch."

Just as he was speaking, Bai Ye handed the torch in the direction of Rick Jones.

But when the torch was approaching the other party, he suddenly shook his hand, and the flame burned the other party's arm just right.

- When you attack 'Rick Jones', the target's HP is -5%.

"Oh no, how did you do that?!"

Rick Jones immediately jumped up screaming, stepped back exaggeratedly, and yelled loudly while clutching his burned arm.

"Take it away, take this damned torch away!"

"Sorry, I didn't burn your skin on purpose, Your Excellency the Dwarf King, I wonder if it's correct for me to call you that?"

While talking, Bai Ye took out the kitchen knife that he carried with him, pointed at him, and said with a sneer, "Although I'm not sure about your real identity, you're not Rick the explorer. I'm 100% sure about Jones."

"You... what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

'Rick Jones' was a little jittery, but barely holding on.

He immediately changed the subject, and said: "I said you guys want to go back on your word, don't you? You shameless person who reneged on promises, return the gem to me."

"Hey, stop acting, your acting skills are really clumsy."

Bai Ye was unmoved.

"hateful!"

The 'fake' Rick Jones seemed to be struggling a bit, seeing that Bai Ye didn't follow him at all, so he simply broke the jar.

His expression became ferocious, his voice became thicker, and his words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Since when did you find out?"

His tone sounded reconciled, and the hand covering the scalded area moved away. The wound looked like a piece of cloth had been scalded to create a gap, and dense black tentacles wriggled in the gap.

"From the moment I first met you."

Bai Ye shook his head, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a contemptuous arc.

"Your words and deeds seem cunning, but there are so many flaws exposed, it's hard not to notice."

'Rick Jones': "…"

"If my guess is correct, the real explorer Rick Jones should be left-handed.

This point can be easily judged by simply looking at the items in that backpack.

Only the left half of the compass and the iron kettle for drinking water are seriously faded and polished smoother, which shows that their owners are used to holding them with their left hand.

And the handwriting on the notepad has traces of being wiped by the palm, which is caused by accidentally touching the wet handwriting when using the left hand to write from left to right. "

When Bai Ye said this, the topic changed.

"And you, you simply took the backpack I handed you with your right hand, and when you wanted me to take you away, you naturally stretched out your right hand to me, and more importantly, on the wrist of your left hand , and there is still a clear trace - it is left by wearing the watch all the year round."

Bai Ye took out the old-fashioned watch, shook it in front of the other party's eyes, and continued:
"Wear the watch on your dominant hand, Mr. Rick Jones. Don't you usually find it in the way?"

"You impersonated Rick Jones in an unprofessional way, without even knowing the name of the person you're impersonating.

It was I who took the initiative to tell you this name, and then you responded in a hurry, but you didn't know that you had fallen into a small trap set by me. "

Hearing Bai Ye's analysis, the fake Rick Jones was sweating on his forehead, and his face was clouded.

"Of course, these clues can only prove that you are a fake. The reason why I think you are the dwarf king-to be honest, I am not sure about this, and now it seems..."

Bai Ye paused when he said this, and glanced at the burn wound on the opponent's arm.

"You may also be some other creature? All of this is actually based on one of my assumptions, and the dwarf king is the most explanatory one among these assumptions."

——Your accurate and unmistakable deciphering made the proficiency of Concentrating Stance +50.

"Enough, I don't want to listen to your self-righteous analysis anymore."

'Rick Jones' was furious, interrupted Bai Ye impatiently, and said sinisterly: "Since you don't want to take me away, then I have no choice but to keep you with me!"

After that, he grinned grimly with a distorted face, and slowly opened his bloody eyes.

His eyes were dark and hollow, with no eyeballs inside, and short black tentacles that looked like hairs began to protrude from the black sockets.

Immediately afterwards, dense short black whiskers began to appear on his face, and the tentacles continued to grow until they covered his entire face.

When those black tentacles grew to a certain extent, they became entangled and twisted together, forming four thicker and longer tentacles.

These four thick tentacles hang down to the ground, supporting the human body with both feet hanging in the air.

Then the monster let out a sharp scream, and crawled towards Bai Ye like a strange 'spider'.

……

"This call... sounds familiar."

This is clearly the cry of the unknown beast that I heard in the woods just now.

It seemed that the monster had already set its sights on Bai Ye when he was outside, and followed Bai Ye all the way into the tomb.

Fortunately, he had seen through the opponent's identity a long time ago and was on guard. Bai Ye quickly backed away when the monster started to transform.

After chasing him for a short distance, the monster roared and swung its thick tentacles towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye flew out and dodged the blow by rolling on the spot. The tentacles hit the ground and cracked the thick stone with a bang.

If it is photographed now, it is estimated that it can directly break the bone.

Moreover, the opponent's long tentacles had the advantage of a long attack distance, and Bai Ye obviously couldn't defeat this monster with just a kitchen knife.

Without hesitation at all, he turned his head and ran in the direction he came from.

Seeing this, the tentacle monster immediately dragged its suspended human body to chase after it. The four tentacles squirmed quickly on the ground, and the crawling speed was quite fast.

……

Heartbeat, began to speed up.

Adrenaline was secreted again, and the potential of the body was transformed into strength, which began to be injected into Bai Ye's body continuously.

——Importing unknown factors...data error...

Various attribute bonuses come again.

While running, he dodged the attack of the monster's tentacles. After his dynamic vision was strengthened, he could detect the whipping speed of the tentacles with his naked eyes, and he could dodge early before the attack came.

During the period, he also grabbed the openings exposed after the tentacles attacked, and used a kitchen knife to fight back several times.

- Are you on target'? ? ? 'Launch an attack, the target's HP -0%.

However, no matter whether the kitchen knife is cutting or stabbing, when the blade touches the tentacles, the feedback is always a smooth and tough touch, and the kitchen knife cannot break through the opponent's defense at all.

that monster? ? ?Hissing, he raised two more tentacles, and slapped Bai Ye one after another.

Bai Ye dodged hastily and took the time to pay attention to his stamina bar. After running and fighting, half of his stamina bar had been consumed.

"Just run."

He didn't dare to have any thoughts of killing the monster, and fled at full speed in the direction he came from.

Soon, a staircase on the edge of the 'corpse pit' appeared not far ahead.

He climbed up the stairs with both hands and feet, but when Bai Ye poked his head out of the stairs, he found a black double-barreled shotgun pointed at his forehead.

He quickly shouted at the gunman: "Mr. Rick Jones, don't shoot, it's your own!"
