The night view of the other world was as charming as ever, but the two children had no time to appreciate it.
According to Feng Qi, there were a lot more people around the residence of the black market boss Peppafer.
"They are all members of the Knight Order, or a combination of two Knight Orders."
Feng Qi squatted in the bushes and counted on his fingers.
"Several court wizards have also come, and there is a black wizard in Peppaffer's own residence... I was wondering, how could the scales of the Dragon of Destruction be so easy to obtain? We have triggered a hidden plot."
His face was dirty, and the cloth on his chest was soaked in pus and blood, which had dried and become stiff. The boy's pupils were completely broken and cloudy, like the eyes of a long-decayed corpse.
His heartbeat was fast and weak, and his breath was filled with the sweet smell of blood.
Ge Tingting hummed: "What should we do next?"
It was strange that she had forgotten when she had her last meal, but she was not hungry at all and was even more energetic than ever.
"Act according to the original plan. Sister, you see, the knights are lying in ambush, and they don't know where Peppa Pig is hiding. Let's sneak in first and steal the scales."
They carefully avoided the searching knights and moved along the corner of the wall.
The abilities of the two children were unknown, and he hadn't even mentioned the practitioners that "Master Liu" had brought in. If things went wrong, they would be attacked from both sides.
Xiao Wu disguised himself as a cyclist and pretended to "ask for directions" from the plainclothes officer next to him, while keeping a distance from the two children.
At this moment, the lights in the room were on, the curtains were drawn tightly, and figures flashed by from time to time.
As soon as Sun Qinghui got to the vicinity of Villa No. 8, he received a message from the drug-hunting police: "Core members of the 'Master Liu' organization were found in Villa No. 8, and we are preparing to arrest them. The suspects from your side are also present, they..."
"You can vaguely feel it, right, Ibby?" The boy hugged the baby dragon tightly in his arms - for some reason, it could no longer fly.
However, they didn't know that there was a "rider" and four or five plainclothes officers following them.
Feng Qi stopped struggling, he fell to the ground weakly, and finally recovered his normal breathing.
Xiao Wu answered with a bitter face.
Before Feng Qi could figure out how to get in and out, he was spotted by the black magician in the house. In the blink of an eye, before Feng Qi could react, his neck was strangled by the smoke familiar.
"That's awesome." Xiao Wu put the wobbly delivery box on his back and said, "Okay, I understand."
"Yes, Peppa Pig made a necklace out of the dragon scales and wore it around his neck." The young dragon explained weakly, "But my information is not very clear. I'm sorry, great adventurer..."
Another sound rushed towards Feng Qi's direction, and the creepy chewing sound filled the darkness.
"It's not that we don't want to save them, I just thought about it... Just treat those two kids as high-risk nuclear waste and run around disobeying our instructions. The situation is complicated now and we have to ensure the safety of others."
The front garden of Villa No. 8, a few steps away from Xiao Wu.
The ugly familiars were like smoke and fog, with four red lights on their heads. They floated in the air like ghosts, occasionally passing through bricks and grass leaves, but their huge claws seemed to have substance, tightly grasping Feng Qi's neck.
"Fuck!" Xiao Wu yelled.
"Follow those two kids closely, they know where Master Liu is." The commander in the back instructed in the headset, "The electromagnetic waves in this area are abnormal, my drone has been interfered with, you guys be careful."
He flicked his wrist, and three or four takeout orders flew out. They shot towards the door of Villa No. 8 and stuck neatly on the door.
"Those two kids are not in good condition." Sun Qinghui followed closely beside Xiao Wu, "Can you rescue them first?"
The grass rustled, and the old-fashioned bricks reflected the light of the torches. The huge moon was obscured by clouds, and the surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, and everything was dim.
The drug-hunting police officer's tone was a little heavy, so Sun Qinghui quickly turned on the speakerphone.
Villa No. 8 nominally belongs to a jeweler. It is located in a very good location. Facing south, it has no shelter in front and an open courtyard. The back is close to the forest garden of the villa area.
The two children went straight to the location of "black market boss Peppaffer".
The next moment, there was a loud bang.
"Do you know where that Pe-pe-what is?"
Rider Xiao Wu put the takeaway box on the flowerbed and opened the lid. Then he took out a thick stack of takeaway receipts from his pocket and took a deep breath.
Ge Tingting's bird bones and insect corpses struggled in vain to pass through the smoke demon. She rushed forward and tried to bite the pair of demon claws that seemed to be there and not there.
As soon as he heard the words "sudden emergency", Xiao Wu rushed straight to the front yard of Villa No. 8 without caring whether he was exposed or not.
"It seems that the Shenmin Society provided the information," said the rear commander, "and these two kids were sent as bait, so they probably have some special abilities."
The rider Xiao Wu said, "If they can't even tell the safety of the place, how are those two kids going to find someone?"
Sun Qinghui looked at the two children with concern: "We will fully cooperate here. Saving people is the most important thing."
The boy's arms and legs flailed wildly, and the small plastic sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"Your takeaway has arrived, please go to the designated location to pick it up!" he shouted loudly.
"Let's go and steal the necklace." Feng Qi touched its head, "Maybe it's too tired these days. Let's take a good rest after we finish the mission."
"I know, I know." Xiao Wu said.
The food delivery box of rider Xiao Wu suddenly flew high into the sky and fell heavily to the ground. There was nothing inside, but countless dense roars and crawling sounds were heard.
One of the noises rushed towards the window, and the glass of the villa's windows exploded simultaneously.
Not long ago, Ge Tingting and Feng Qi arrived near Peppafu's residence.
A few dozen meters away, two children moved forward stealthily, gradually approaching Villa No. 8.
"They seem to be having an emergency. Please let someone who knows how to be safe pass through..."
However, her attack was ineffective - Ge Tingting used all her strength and only bit her lips, and the bright red liquid passed through the black smoke and fell straight to the ground.
They were still too reckless.
The two thought that the mission would progress step by step, leaving them at least a glimmer of hope for success. However, after they finally reached their destination, all they found was despair.
Without a common language, they couldn't even ask for help.
Ge Tingting once again jumped over the smoke demon and fell to the ground. Her nails dug into the cracks in the bricks, and her limbs were numb with fear.
A drizzle fell, and the stone road was icy and slippery. When my warm skin touched it, I felt like I was being buried in advance.
The two had just arrived at the vestibule for a minute, and before the fight even began, they were defeated.
"Sister...sister, you...run first, the mission...I..."
Feng Qi's whole body was twitching, dark red blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his legs were shaking constantly.
Ge Tingting's bones were shaking so much that they were about to fall apart: "I won't do this mission anymore! I won't do it anymore!"
Unfortunately, the black magician in the house did not let her go. With a sneer, a pair of cold hands also strangled Ge Tingting's neck. In the struggle, Feng Qi tried to reach the sword on the ground, but the magician laughed sharply and kicked it away.
All the amazement, joy and little pride I had felt about my special powers over the past few days were shattered by this kick.
Will they die? he wondered horribly.
Although this alien world is very similar to "Legend of Resurrection", is it really a game
What happens when they die? Can they reload the game
If you can’t…
In the endless pain of suffocation, Feng Qi's tears kept overflowing from his eyes.
Fortunately or unfortunately, just before he lost consciousness, the court magician rushed to the scene.
The man gave an order, and several famine worms rushed over.
Each of them was three or four meters long, with a seven-gilled eel-like mouth wide open and densely packed with human teeth. The famine worms headed straight for the familiar. They slithered around the familiar, their sack-like mouths tightly enveloping the familiar's head.
Amid the splashing of black blood and the sound of chewing, Feng Qi collapsed to the ground powerlessly, coughing so hard that he almost fainted.
"Sister, you run first." While the famine worms were entangled with the familiar, he trembled and picked up the sword, "You go first... I'll go get the scales..."
"Give it up, let's give it up."
The dirty bones protected the two of them, and Ge Tingting held Feng Qi's arm tightly.
"Let's stay in this world... I can be your real sister, we won't go through the level... The mission is too dangerous..."
"Sister, you go first."
Feng Qi looked at the buildings around him with red eyes and did not give a direct answer.
"Look, the Knights are coming and they're going to take you away."
"I don't-"
“No!” Ibby, who was lying not far away, raised his head and raised his voice with difficulty, “The person in the room is wrong, that’s not Peppaffer… It looks like him, but it’s not him, and the smell is wrong… The mission has been revised, Dragon Scale is not here! Not here!”
Feng Qi was in a trance: "Yibi, you..."
"I, ahem, I just realized that Peppaffer has found a substitute, and those men and the black magician are just a decoy. He wants to escape! He... he is still nearby, I, I will take you there..."
The night rain was getting heavier, and the little dragon staggered into the air.
"The mission must be accomplished," it repeated weakly, "Great adventurer, the mission must be accomplished..."
Feng Qi gritted his teeth and stood up, holding his sword. He followed the young dragon into the darkness, his cloak soaked, making him look frail.
The knights were getting closer and closer to Ge Tingting. The court magician who saved them was mumbling something, as if trying to soothe her.
"I don't understand!"
She screamed at them amid the thunder and rain.
"Stop talking, I don't understand you!"
Bone Pile suddenly pushed the intruder away. Ge Tingting wiped the blood from his mouth and ran in the direction where Feng Qi disappeared.
The knights tried to stop her, but were hit by several small fireballs from the people in the house. They were caught in the fight, with only sporadic footsteps following Ge Tingting.
Ge Tingting ran through the rain curtain without a care in the world. Not far ahead of her, Feng Qi ran towards the courtyard, and his figure was quickly hidden by the trees.
Just a little bit, just a little bit...
Bang, bang.
There was the sound of a body falling to the ground, and the footsteps behind her disappeared.
What followed was the worm's sharp and mournful cry. Ge Tingting's scalp tingled and his heart beat like thunder. He didn't dare to look back at all.
"You little girl run pretty fast." A voice came from behind her, laughing softly, "There is no way out of hell but you come here anyway."
That was the last sentence Ge Tingting heard before she lost consciousness. Unfortunately, just like before, she still couldn't understand its meaning.
A dozen meters away, Feng Qi was still running.
His ears were filled with the sound of rain, and all he could see was the swaying Ippi. In the darkness, the white dragonfly stood out.
His legs were numb, and his chest and throat were burning with pain. Something kept flowing out of his mouth and nose, mixing with the cold rain.
"Bang."
Feng Qi felt a heavy blow on his ankle and fell heavily to the ground.
"That's enough. You don't have to give us such a big gift." A pair of feet walked in front of him. Feng Qi raised his head with difficulty. He couldn't see the man's face, but he could see Ge Tingting being dragged by the man like a sack.
[Let her go!]
Feng Qi couldn't understand what the man said and could only shout as loud as he could.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy?" Countless spider-like severed hands crawled out from the shadows and stopped at the man's feet affectionately. "Boy, your work is done, you can die now."
A necromancer like Göttingen, he thought.
But this guy is much stronger than Ge Tingting... His sin value is 116... He has killed more than a hundred people...
The strength difference is too great.
Feng Qi lowered his head helplessly, and through the seemingly endless rain, he had difficulty looking at Ibi who was not far away.
The man threw Ge Tingting aside, walked up to the boy, grabbed the boy's collar and shook it, and then kicked him hard in the stomach. The kick was so strong that Feng Qi almost fainted.
Making sure the boy couldn't move, the man picked up his schoolbag and dumped its contents onto the grass.
"Garbage, garbage, and garbage... Oh, I got it."
The man took out a wooden box engraved with runes from his pocket, and then took out a thick red cloth that felt like flesh skin. He squatted down carefully, wrapped his hands with the red cloth, and tried to grab something that was poured out.
However, just as he tried to pick it up, a small hand grabbed his trouser leg.
[Don’t…] Feng Qi forced himself to open his eyes, coughing and begging.
"I don't understand." The man muttered, and he stomped hard on the boy's hand.
The boy whimpered, and bloody tears kept dripping down his cheeks.
"He told you not to touch his things."
A relaxed voice sounded behind him.
The man froze. The hands around him quickly formed a formation. They raised two fingers and waved their claws like poisonous spiders.
"A member of the Shenmian Society? Bullying kids is boring, do you want to try something exciting?"
"Who are you… "
Before he could even say "who?", the rain curtain moved, and the red cloth and the item disappeared. The man turned around in shock and looked at the uninvited guest.
Although they were in the middle of a rainstorm, the visitor was not wet at all.
His long hair was loose, his black shirt blended into the night, and his red eyes were like burning coals. The thing under the red cloth had no support, just floating in his palm. With the wrinkled red cloth on it, it was as if a strange flower had bloomed in the palm of the visitor.
"So this is the source of pollution. It doesn't look like an old item."
Yin Ren stroked the little gadget in his hand and then put it under his nose to smell it.
"It is indeed a murderous aura. Did you create this? How did you do it?"
The corpse servant of the Sinking Society swallowed his saliva. He knew he should attack, but his limbs seemed frozen and he could not move. Like a mouse being stared at by a snake, he was sweating profusely and could not move at all.
What a weird momentum...
"Don't you know?" Yin Ren was a little disappointed. "The goal is so clear, I thought you were here to recycle it."
"Yes... but... I..." The corpse servant's tongue was tangled wildly.
"Um?"
"I don't... know..." he answered with difficulty, "It's just... orders from above..."
"Well, forget it, I don't know."
Yin Ren grabbed the thing tightly, wrapped it in red cloth and stuffed it into his pocket.
"This is an interesting thing. I accept it with pleasure."
The corpse servant's pupils trembled, his teeth chattered, but he still struggled hard - dozens of corpse hands rushed towards Yin Ren, and a faint green light flashed on their nails.
Yin Ren smiled.
"No need for such a big ceremony." He casually repeated the man's previous words, "Your work is done, you can die now... What did you say? Oh, right."
He made a casual gesture with his hands.
The corpses' hands suddenly stopped halfway through their scramble. They crawled around for a while, then gradually turned towards the corpse servant.
"There is no door to hell, but you still come here." Yin Ren smiled as if in the spring breeze.
Feng Qi looked at the scene in front of him in a daze—the necromancer's spell had not yet been completed, but it turned uncontrollably. Under the backlash of the spell, he was torn into a bloody skeleton by countless corpse hands.
In Feng Qi's blurred vision, the handsome "hero" walked towards Ge Tingting first.
He carried her to a small awning in the woods and gently placed his hand on her head. A wisp of black air followed the man's hand and went up to an unknown place.
Ge Tingting curled up on the dry ground, and his breathing became much steadier.
The man nodded with satisfaction and walked towards him again.
"Now it's your turn," he said. "You're in a lot more trouble."
"You can understand me."
Feng Qi recovered some strength. He tried his best to stand up, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"You, you are..."
The young dragon staggered back and landed at Feng Qi's feet. Feng Qi looked at the young man who was one step away, and his voice gradually changed.
"You are the Dragon of Destruction."
He said tremblingly.
"You are the Dragon of Destruction, Oberscrass! You, you can become a human?"
Yin Ren burst out laughing.
"It's quite fitting," he said, stepping over the bloody skeleton. "Yeah, it sounds more exciting than the Vampire Prince."
Feng Qi bit her lip and took a deep breath.
"Thank you for saving us," the boy said tremblingly, "We don't want to challenge you. Although we don't know why you came here, but our target is the black market merchant Peppaffer. He is about to escape..."
“That drug dealer.”
Yin Ren picked up the boy easily and looked in a certain direction.
"Well, don't worry, I don't think he can get away."
"Why?" Feng Qi shrank his body, not daring to move.
"Given the current level of pollution, it should be possible to identify it. Now, take a look in that direction for yourself."
Feng Qi hesitated for a moment, resisting the urge to vomit, and cast a scan and identification in the direction pointed by the "Dragon of Destruction".
"… two black magicians, an elf craftsman, and the black market boss Peppaffer."
"Yeah." Yin Ren encouraged him.
"Also, there's more..."
The boy swallowed. "And... 'Death'?!"
"What a lie." Yin Ren raised his eyebrows and sniffed in that direction again. "Zhong Cheng said that boy is stronger than I thought."
Time goes back to before the rain.
Zhong Cheng said that when he stepped out of the corridor, the surrounding surveillance had been disabled.
As he expected, the sinking would first destroy the monitoring system, ready to intervene at any time.
Mr. Liu's subordinates revealed their true colors, and the police and security forces were mostly concentrated in villa area No. 2 to No. 8. However, Zhong Cheng said that he didn't even look in that direction, and walked straight to villa No. 18 in the opposite direction.
At the beginning of the year, Villa 18 was rented to a small company. That company went bankrupt a few months ago, and the owner has not been able to find a new tenant.
Zhong Cheng said that he had been collecting electricity consumption data of nearby vacant houses. Compared with the previous electricity consumption, the electricity consumption of Villa No. 18 was slightly higher today.
The door was locked tightly. Zhong Chengshuo pried open the window skillfully and slid into the room like a spider.
The room was dark and without lights. Zhong Cheng said as he slowly leaned down - there were fresh footprints on the dust on the floor and fingerprints on the handrails.
Judging from the characteristics of the footprints, there should be four adults in the room, two of whom were carrying heavy objects, and there is a clear difference in strength between the footprints on both sides.
Zhong Cheng said to pull the hood, and the cat slipped up the stairs quietly and sneaked into the second floor.
The soundproofing of this villa is not very good. Two vague voices came from behind the door of the living room on the second floor.
One of them sounded like an old man: "This little Liu is rich enough. See, Ni Rou Zhang and Wu Laoxianer are here... This guy also spent money to invite 'Yan Wang', but it's a pity that he didn't get him. These three are the strongest among us night walkers."
"What a pity! King Yan would not take on such shady jobs." An old lady replied.
"Why don't you go to Shi An if you don't take the dirty work? You must have some ulterior motives... I'm just a little curious, old man, who do you think is more powerful, 'Yan Wang' or Shi An Xiao Fu?"
Following this question, the old man couldn't help but gossip about "King Yan".
This person appeared seven years ago and quickly rose to the top of the "Night Walkers". He is fast, accurate and ruthless. Once he accepts a mission, no matter how powerful the evil creature is, it is no problem. He is extremely fierce.
As the saying goes, "If King Yan orders you to die at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to stay until five o'clock?" As time went by, night travelers simply called him "King Yan".
The old lady was obviously not interested in this topic: "How can we compare? King Yan is a lone wolf, and Shi An must bring a partner with him when he takes action. Besides, Xiao Fu is a registered ghost general, does anyone know the occupation of King Yan? That guy doesn't show his face, and we don't even know if he is a man or a woman."
"He's about the same level as Fu Xingchuan. He must be an evil craftsman or a witch. Could he be another ghost general?"
"You're just minding your own business and talking nonsense all day long. Zhian can't even find the person he wants to dig. What are you guessing about?"
The old man still didn't give up: "Hehe, I just suddenly wondered, could 'King Yan' be a scholar?"
"That's enough. Those scholars are blind. They can handle things that are tangible, but they are blind when they encounter things that are intangible."
Listen to this conversation... Two practitioners who were once night walkers, an old man and an old woman.
Zhong Cheng said he had never heard of these two people's voices, and the two old men should not be ranked in the top ten among night walkers.
But he knew who they were talking about.
"Ni Rou Zhang" is a spirit craftsman with great strength, but not very good at fighting. "Wu Laoxian'er" is a very powerful ghost master in the folks. This person is good at both black and white, and he is reluctant to join Shi'an because he is reluctant to give up the dirty work.
Zhong Cheng said he was hiding quietly in the corner of the abandoned house, making quick calculations in his mind.
The old man and the old woman are not strong enough, so they are probably ghost masters. The two are in the center of the house, and there may be powerful ghosts guarding the key passage.
The place is heavily guarded and defended, and Master Liu has hired the "Nirou Zhang" who is good at disguise and the eye-catching "Wu Laoxian'er"... Zhong Cheng said he could probably guess Master Liu's "substitute plan".
What a pity.
Zhong Cheng said what he was thinking.
If Shi An hadn't intervened, he would have been able to resolve the matter when "Master Liu" was trying so hard to invite him.
