Shao Ci told himself that this was just an ordinary father-son relationship (?), so he felt relieved, patted Xavier on the shoulder, and praised softly: "What you did just now was really great."
Xavier looked at Shao Ci with bright eyes, "Really?"
"Yes." Shao Ci said, "If it weren't for you, we would have been in danger just now."
"But that man called me a monster." Xavier became depressed, and whispered: "I don't want my father to become like the past, calling me a monster and then abandoning me... I'm so scared..."
"No way!" Shao Ci hurriedly hugged him, comforting him, "How can you be a monster? I won't abandon you."
Xavier's pale cheeks suddenly flushed, and he lowered his head as if shy.
Shao Ci heaved a sigh of relief, looked up and found something left behind where the man disappeared just now.
"This is?" Shao Ci stepped forward and picked up the things on the ground, but what the other party left behind was actually a notebook.
Shao Ci: "..." Hey, didn't you complain before that it was impossible for such a thing to appear in this dungeon? As a result, he slapped him in the face like this... After all, it was just a setting.
Shao Ci subconsciously looked at Xavier in front of him, and saw that the other party was focused on grabbing the corner of his clothes, not paying attention to the notebook at all, so he opened the notebook.
There are some words written in a mess, all of which are very blurred. Obviously, it was not intended for others to read from the beginning. The only useful part of this notebook is the piece of paper sandwiched in the middle.
This piece of paper seemed to be some kind of printed instruction, which stated that to find a young man with five or six-year-old children, they need to be caught there, regardless of life or death.
Shao Ci: "...Damn it." This is talking about him and Xavier. Could it be that the original owner ran out of the company with an important test product? What is the original owner trying to do...
Shao Ci always felt that the original owner's purpose might be related to the plot of this dungeon, and most of it was in his personal terminal data... This feeling that he was only one step away from the truth but he couldn't figure it out was really uncomfortable.
No wonder the passer-by was so excited when he saw him just now, without hesitation, it must be some kind of side mission for that person, and a lot of points will be rewarded after completion.
And this is just a game anyway, even if it kills innocent npcs, it doesn't matter. What's more, Shao Ci is also a player, which is even more suspicious.
"It's terrible to go on like this." Shao Ci thought about it for a while, and his expression suddenly became serious.
If not only this passer-by, but other players have received this mission, then they will definitely come to chase Xavier.
Even if Xavier is not the real villain boss, bad things will definitely happen if he is allowed to live, and Shao Ci's task is to ensure that such bad things must happen.
Now Shao Ci has to admit that he seems to be in the villain's camp this time, and what he has to fight against are other players.
"It's troublesome..." Shao Ci felt his head hurt.
Seeing Shao Ci's troubled appearance, Xavier immediately looked at him worriedly, and tugged his sleeve carefully.
"I'm fine." Shao Ci smiled at him, put away his notebook, and grabbed his hand, "I'll take you to eat now."
Then when he took the next step, he suddenly felt dizzy, and the surrounding scene was directly distorted.
Fuck! !
Shao Ci immediately felt bad, and after he reacted, he found that he was no longer in the place just now, but in a dark passage.
Shao Ci: "?!" Hey, the plot started so quickly, and he hasn't done anything yet!
Xavier held Shao Ci's hand with some fear, and leaned a little closer to him.
Shao Ci took a deep breath, in fact, he was also very scared! But how can I show it in front of the child, so I have to pretend to be indifferent and look around.
It seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, the walls are decayed, covered with mottled marks, there are messy sundries and long-dried blood on the ground.
Yes, he has come to the abandoned spaceship that disappeared decades ago.
Why the spaceship disappeared was not explored in the plot, Shao Ci only knew part of the plot found in the original text.
The spaceship seemed to be affected by some force, causing the spirits of the passengers on the ship to fall into an unstable state, but after all the passengers died, the spaceship disappeared abnormally.
Shao Ci: "..." What the hell is the meaning of wearing a book? ! Knowing only half of it like this is different from not knowing at all!
In short, it can be confirmed that this abandoned spaceship is full of monsters and ghosts. In fact, these monsters who do not know where they came from are nothing. Just thinking of ghosts makes Shao Ci feel a little nervous, and he doesn't know how to deal with it...
No matter how powerful one is, the fear of certain things will never change!
In short, staying in such a gloomy corridor is not an option. Shao Ci used his personal terminal to illuminate, then took out a knife, and pulled Xavier forward while being on guard.
Finally, the door of the corridor appeared next to it. After Shao Ci opened the door, countless black shadows rushed towards it.
These black shadows are monsters with hideous appearances, their bodies are pitch black, as if condensed from the black mist, and they don't even have definite entities.
Shao Ci had already made preparations this time. It would be strange if this dungeon didn't open the door to kill. The mental power had already been activated as early as the moment the door was opened.
Shao Ci observed carefully with his mental power, but found that the weaknesses of these monsters were different from other monsters. The monsters in other dungeons were similar to ordinary creatures. The monsters here were concentrated in a glowing place like a crystal nucleus in the body .
... What's the point of paying attention to these monsters.
Shao Ci just thought about it casually, and then aimed at the monster's weakness, controlled the knife with mental power and stabbed it.
This is the method that Shao Ci just came up with. Anyway, his mental power is strong enough to manipulate a knife... After all, if you fight with your body, the knife is still a bit short.
This small knife is indeed a blade of light, and its attack on dark monsters is not weak. It penetrates into the monster's body like cutting tofu, directly stabbing the opponent's vitals.
After these monsters died, they fell to the ground powerlessly, as if they were about to turn into black mist again, but they remained solid.
Soon Shao Ci eliminated all the monsters that came out. Even though his mental power was very strong, he still took a breath at this time.
"It's finally solved..." Shao Ci reached out and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, but suddenly felt a coldness on his neck, as if something cold and invisible had passed by, and he seemed to be able to notice it from the corner of his eyes. There is a white shadow behind him.
At this moment, Shao Ci's body stiffened. It doesn't matter if he is cowardly, but he dare not face the ghost! !
It seemed that he had grasped that Shao Ci would not do anything with it, as if an invisible hand stretched out, stroked Shao Ci's face lightly, and then spread away.
Shao Ci almost fell to his knees, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
In the setting of this dungeon, these ghosts have no lethality, at most they can scare you, and at the same time, players can't hurt them... But it's because of this that it's even more terrifying!
"Huh." Shao Ci finally recovered, suddenly remembered Xavier, turned his head quickly, and was startled when he saw the scene in front of him.
I saw Xavier squatting on the ground, groping over the monster's corpse with his hands, and the place touched by his hands disappeared out of thin air, as if being swallowed. And Xavier's expression was somewhat satisfied, as if he was enjoying some big meal.
Shao Ci: "..." If dealing with that passer-by just now was a waste of Xavier's strength, maybe this is replenishing his strength
That’s right, it’s a bit of a monster to supplement with such monsters, but Xavier didn’t use his mouth to bite these monsters, so it doesn’t matter...
Shao Ci is very concerned about staying with him until the "that moment" mentioned in the main mission. When is it and what will happen at that time? At that time, he won't have to be by Xavier's side, or is it that Xavier at that time doesn't need his protection at all
After Xavier devoured all the monsters, he stood up and moved to Shao Ci's side very well.
I don't know if it was Shao Ci's illusion. He felt that Xavier seemed to be a little taller than before... But he didn't think too deeply, so he pulled Xavier into the corridor here.
There are rooms on both sides of this place, and there are still many bloodstains in the corridor, but there are no corpses at all.
The place at the end is much cleaner, Shao Ci is going to find a secluded place to stay with Xavier first, it should be fine here.
However... when he opened the door, he found that there was already a person in the room, and that person was Jiang Qinghan.
Shao Ci: "!!!" Hey!
Jiang Qinghan was flipping through a heavy book expressionlessly, while behind him were several pitch-black hands protruding from the darkness and searching the room.
It is true that Shao Ci wanted to meet Jiang Qinghan, but it would be a bad time to meet him on such an occasion.
Although he could quit after completing the task, if Xavier is left here alone, even if he leaves this dungeon, he won't feel at ease! Even if Xavier is just an npc, it's the same.
Jiang Qinghan looked up, and when he saw Xavier behind Shao Ci, his eyes turned cold. And the several hands behind him also suddenly struck towards this side.
Cold sweat almost came down Shao Ci's face.
Jiang Qinghan's weapon is the book in his hand.
This book is called the Book of Demons. With such a powerful name, it is certainly not an ordinary weapon. It was Jiang Qinghan who got it from an A-level dungeon. As the protagonist, his luck was against the sky. Even the weapons he got in the B-level dungeon in the early stage were better than those obtained by others in the A-level dungeon. Not to mention the arrival.
Shao Ci's scalp tingles when he hears about demons now. Fortunately, this book has nothing to do with demons other than the name.
This book can summon the hands of demons, and it can do all kinds of things that coolies do at ordinary times, and it is also very useful in occasions that require fighting. People who are touched by these hands will be pulled directly to a dark place. book with space to go.
And the person who controls that space is Jiang Qinghan, and the strength of those who enter will be weakened by half, basically the only outcome is to lose.
Speaking of having such a weapon, Shao Ci felt that if Jiang Qinghan went to a dungeon with a demon background next time, he would be fine as a villain.
The only good thing about Shao Ci is that he now has a mosaic on his face, Jiang Qinghan probably won't use all his strength to kill him right away.
Seeing the dark hands approaching, Shao Ci directly pushed Xavier aside, but he was touched by those hands, and his body immediately came into a pitch-black space.
Countless blood-colored thorns suddenly grew around, stabbing towards Shao Ci's body.
And the necklace on Shao Ci's neck flashed with light, and a shield emerged.
But these thorns grew extremely fast, and surrounded Shao Ci almost instantly, and the necklace could only last for a few minutes.
Shao Ci was extremely calm.
Ordinary people would definitely rush to yell at Jiang Qinghan if they encountered the situation just now, but would Jiang Qinghan really stand there so stupidly waiting for someone to yell at him
Jiang Qinghan's exposed body is just a phantom projected by this book. The real Jiang Qinghan is hiding in this space.
It is precisely because of this that Shao Ci was pulled into this world without any resistance just now. After all, the first thing he has to do is today's daily tasks.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not notice the difference, but it would be different if it was Shao Ci with strong mental power.
Shao Ci closed his eyes and searched mentally, and soon found something wrong.
After finally finding the destination, Shao Ci used his mental power to drive the knife to cut the thorns, while his body continued to move forward, and soon his eyes lit up, and he came to a room.
That's right, this is exactly the hidden room in the space of this book. It is very safe, and you can put a lot of props in it. It is similar to the space in the cultivation world, and it can be decorated at will, even when others are outside. Working desperately, Jiang Qinghan was drinking tea leisurely in the room.
This is the benefits of the protagonist. If it is not the protagonist, who can still have such treatment in such a game with a broken horror background. Shao Ci was extremely envious and jealous in his heart.
The decoration of this room is extremely simple, basically only with simple furniture, and Jiang Qinghan is sitting on a chair, drinking tea while looking over indifferently.
The weakness of this book of demons is that the host cannot leave the room when it is activated, but Jiang Qinghan is very indifferent, as if he doesn't care.
Shao Ci knew that his heart could not be as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
Jiang Qinghan has a distorted personality and at the same time has extremely strong self-esteem, never allowing himself to lose to others, how could he be so calm in such a situation now.
"I didn't expect you to find this place." Jiang Qinghan put the cup on the table and stood up, looking lazy, but with coldness in his eyes, "However, you will die here soon. "
Shao Ci had already developed his mental power the moment he entered, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Jiang Qinghan's weapon is a scalpel. Once this scalpel cuts the opponent's body, it will trigger various negative buffs. If it is cut, it will lose if it is not good.
The two started fighting like this, relying on their mental strength, Shao Ci narrowly avoided Jiang Qinghan's attacks several times, and his knife could not hurt the other party at all.
Fortunately, Shao Cibei had the most mental power, and under the influence of powerful mental power, he finally directly pushed Jiang Qinghan to the ground at the cost of being cut by the opponent's scalpel once.
At this moment, Shao Ci didn't care too much, and directly pierced Jiang Qinghan's weapon-wielding hand with a single knife, deeply piercing the ground, and blood immediately flowed out from it.
Jiang Qinghan's body stiffened immediately, and his face quickly turned pale, but he looked at Shao Ci coldly, without saying a word. .
Most players' pain in the dungeon is mostly blocked, but Jiang Qinghan is not. He doesn't know if it is a natural defect or some bug. The pain he feels in this game is 100%.
And Jiang Qinghan didn't have any escaping mentality because of this, he almost welcomed the pain, thinking that only this kind of pain could make him stronger.
And it was precisely because of this that under such stimulation, his mental power grew much faster than others.
At this time, the hair and clothes of the two were very messy, and Shao Ci felt very happy in his heart. He had long disliked Jiang Qinghan.
The next moment, Youdao's sharp mental power suddenly invaded Shao Ci's mental power.
Shao Ci: "!?" Fuck, it's the first time since I left the abo world that I met someone who attacked his mental power like this... I still miss it a bit.
If Jiang Qinghan knew about Shao Ci's glorious feat in the ABO world, even if he was killed, he probably wouldn't use this trick against Shao Ci.
The invincible mental attacks in the past are extremely painful for Jiang Qinghan now. He only feels that his mental power is completely crushed by the other party's mental power. In the other party's spiritual world, He is as small as dust.
For Jiang Qinghan, this was more painful than killing him. He gritted his teeth and wanted to test the opponent's mental strength.
The next moment, Jiang Qinghan was sweating profusely, his neck seemed to be strangled by someone, and even his breathing became short of breath. In just a moment, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, and his clothes had been covered. Wet with sweat.
And his spiritual power was naturally pushed out. At that moment just now, Jiang Qinghan felt that he was so close to death for the first time, and even now his mind felt like being stabbed by a needle.
The pain on the wrist was still so vivid, Jiang Qinghan's face was pale, and he almost fainted like this, but while feeling the pain, his body felt a strange sense of pleasure.
That's right... What Shao Ci didn't know was that Jiang Qinghan was actually a jerk, but in the original text, almost no one could deal with him, so no one knew about this kind of thing.
Shao Ci quickly calmed down, and he didn't notice Jiang Qinghan's strangeness at all. Now is not the time to do other things, but to complete the task first.
So Shao Ci checked today's daily tasks.
[Daily missions are refreshed, the current mission is [to conquer the target once], please host.]
Shao Ci: "??!" System, did you do this on purpose? ! Why did such a terrible task come out just today.
[It doesn't matter, in fact, the host and the target of the attack are not biological brothers, so there is no need to care about it.]
Hey, that's not the only thing he cares about... Wait? ! What the hell is it not brother? The system seems to have exposed some important information that was not mentioned in the original text. Hey!
Now that time was running out, Shao Ci had no other choice, so he reached out and picked Jiang Qinghan's chin.
Seeing that delicate face that often carries a haughty expression, Shao Ci has to admit that Jiang Qinghan's face is really good, and it's not bad that he looks very pale and full of cold sweat, which is different from usual... Of course, Shao Ci Ci didn't feel superfluous to him at all, he just didn't like Jiang Qinghan.
If he knew that the person oppressing him now was his most hated elder brother, he didn't know what he would think.
It's nothing to kiss Jiang Qinghan, but Jiang Qinghan would feel very humiliated, to be kissed by someone with a mosaic on his face.
The more Shao Ci thought about it, the more he felt good. He lowered his head and kissed the other person's cheek, and immediately felt the other person's body stiffen.
Only then did Shao Ci proudly raise his head, and immediately saw the blushing Jiang Qinghan.
Shao Ci: "??" Huh? Wait, did Jiang Qinghan get the wrong script? Hey, is it time to blush now? !
The crimson color on Jiang Qinghan's face quickly faded, and he turned to look at Shao Ci with extremely complicated eyes.
Uwah, that's too much... Shao Ci felt that he was really not good at dealing with such people. When he heard the news that the system said the task was completed, he was relieved and said quickly: "Well, now I can finally say goodbye."
Anyway, he has already been offended like this, so it doesn't matter what it is, Shao Ci has a mosaic on his face now, so he is confident.
Shao Ci directly picked up the small knife that was still stabbed in the opponent's hand, then aimed at Jiang Qinghan's heart and stabbed it directly.
Jiang Qinghan has the halo of the protagonist, and the longer it drags on, the more variables will arise, and it is not known whether he can be killed by then.
But at the moment of piercing, the surrounding space instantly became unstable, and Shao Ci also lost control of Jiang Qinghan in an instant.
But at this moment, Jiang Qinghan didn't care that the knife would penetrate deeper, he suddenly grabbed Shao Ci with his bloody hand, and then directly bit his lips.
