Heartless matricide!
Heavy footsteps came from the distance.
Inside the dimly lit supermarket, there is no electricity and the lights are all out. A bright white light shone into the supermarket from the direction of the front door. The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, thumping on the floor. A huge Huo Ji suddenly appears in the bright light, carrying a large skinned bug on its back.
With a quick sweep of its tiny eyes in the supermarket, Big Huo Ji spotted Tang Mo and the others. A strange smile appeared on his lips, and he happily ran over to them, "My children, have you finally gotten in line?" Big Huo Ji's greedy gaze passed over each player's face, he couldn't help but swallow, yet he had to show his love for his children.
This loving and greedy look made Big Huo Ji look a little funny as he said, "Gu Gu, you're all hungry. Mommy has brought you delicious worms!"
"Bang--"
The giant worm is thrown to the ground and smashes in front of the players. The worm is not dead yet, it has been skinned alive by Huo Ji, its bloody body writhing desperately on the ground. It was only when Huo Ji stomped on its head that the bug screamed in agony as his thin chicken claws dug into its flesh.
The sight was too much for the two little girls to bear, and they both turned their backs and retched. The blonde boy also turned pale, and the long-haired woman Ningning stretched out her hand in front of him to prevent him from looking again.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo come from a distance.
Xiao Jitong's eyes swept over the miserable bug, and he looked up and said, "Mom, we already know how to line up."
Big Huo Ji surprised me by saying, "Then line up and let mommy feed you worms."
No one in the supermarket spoke again. The order of queuing had been discussed before the players were dismissed: for the first time, they were going to queue up in the order in which they entered the copies. The two little girls were the first to enter the replica, the short-haired girl was the first, she trembled as she walked to the front row. Then came the three Xiao Jitongs, one by one they walked over and stood, lined up in a row.
The short-haired woman stood in front of the big Huo Ji, who was so sick that she wanted to vomit. Tang Mo was the sixth, he walked over, and soon Fu Wenduo stood behind him.
With all seven players lined up, Tang Mo looked up at Big Huo Ji, his eyes fixed on his face, trying to detect a hint of what was going on in that thin beak and tiny eyes. As each player walks up, Tang Mo doesn't miss a single one of Big Huo Ji's expressions. Likewise, Fu Wenduo carefully observes the changes in Big Huo Ji's face.
Half an hour ago, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo returned to the meat and food area. Tang Mo found Xiao Jitong and said, "There are two possibilities. First, even Big Huo Ji doesn't know the correct order, only the Black Tower knows. When we stand in the right order, the Black Tower will give us a hint. Second, Big Huo Ji knows the correct order. So when we are standing in line, we have to observe its expression, perhaps we can see a hint of information from its change of expression."
When Xiao Jitong heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked at Tang Mo with a deep gaze.At this moment, the short-haired female high school student next to him said, "Ah, that's what Team Xiao said earlier. Big Huo Ji is likely to reveal information, so Team Xiao told us to go up and line up one by one, not together."
Tang Mo looked to Xiao Jitong, who returned a smile to him, acquiescing to the matter.
The queue is set.
There are seven players in all, or seven positions. If the Great Huo Ji is unguarded, it may show some special emotions when one of the players steps into the position that belongs to him.
Tang Mo's eyes did not move away from Big Huo Ji's, but unfortunately, Big Huo Ji had been staring at the player with a hungry gaze from start to finish, without much other emotion. Fu Wenduo stood behind Tang Mo as he came forward and whispered, "There really is no change."
Fu Wenduo has received special training and has very good reconnaissance skills. Out of the seven players, he is the one most likely to discover the anomalies of the Great Huo Ji.
Tang Mo's voice was calm, "It's quite possible that out of the seven of us, none of us stood where we belonged. It could also be that it really doesn't know the true order."
Fu Wenduo : "Or maybe it doesn't care about the player being in the right place."
The two quickly exchanged views. Over there, when Big Huo Ji saw Fu Wenduo standing still, it cooed oddly and lowered its head. Directly in front of Big Huo Ji was the short-haired female high school student, who fearfully pulled her companion's hand behind her and stared at the strange Big Huo Ji in front of her.
In the next second, a sharp laugh rang out, "I told you to line up, why don t you ...... line up?"
The players instantly sank their faces and gripped their weapons. The two female high school students standing in front of them turned and ran in fear, but Big Huo Ji suddenly raised his head. Tang Mo was shocked as he saw Big Huo Ji's eyes suddenly turn blood red. He looked at the backs of the two escaping girls with excitement, stomped on the ground, and fiercely scurried upwards.
At that moment the clear childish voice rang out--
"Dingdong! Player queuing error, Big Huo Ji is schizophrenic, opening the branch game ' Lao Ying Catching Chickens'. Game time is one hour. After the beep, start counting down-"
"Tick! 3599, 3598, 3597 ......"
Xiao Jitong yelled, "Run!"
As his words fell, the seven players had long since turned around and fled. The three Xiao Jitongs ran in three different directions, and the two little girls also followed his previous instructions and spread out to escape. There was only one Big Huo Ji, so spreading out and running could ensure the safety of the players as much as possible. But Xiao Jitong obviously underestimated the strength of the transformed Big Huo Ji.
The two little girls started to run when the big Huo Ji laughed the first time, but they had only run ten meters away when the timid little girl with long hair was chased by the big Huo Ji. Huge chicken claws came from behind and slapped the girls hard on their backs. The sharp claws tore the high school girl's clothes in the blink of an eye, cutting three bone-deep bloody slits in her back.
"Ah!"
The girl was slammed against the wall by the Big Huo Ji, and two pieces of flesh were gouged out by it and fell to the floor. She was spitting out blood, and the Big Huo Ji looked at her wounds with even more excitement, letting out a high-pitched "cooing" sound in excitement. The next second, it turned around again and chased after the next person.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo did not run separately. Seeing this scene, Tang Mo realized something horrible and turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo.
The two men looked at each other and nodded in unison as they rushed as fast as they could to the motorized staircase on the second floor of the supermarket.
Big Huo Ji is about to catch up with the second high school girl. The short-haired girl ran forward in terror, a little calmer than her companion, and as she fled, she kept throwing knives (which she had prepared as a weapon) backward in an attempt to slow down Big Huo Ji's speed. However, Big Huo Ji was much faster than her and caught up with her in three seconds, slapping her across the face.
It was at this moment that a cheerful music sounded in the supermarket.
"La-la-la-la-la-la-la, I'm a little connoisseur of selling newspapers ......"
Big Huo Ji's movements stalled for a moment, and it lowered its head to look at its feet. Only to see that at the bottom of its feet there was a yellowed newspaper, and as its huge chicken feet stepped on it, a faint white light emanated from the newspaper. Suddenly, the newspaper shattered, and Big Huo Ji's blood-red eyes immediately looked over his head, only to see countless brick-like thick newspapers falling from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, Big Huo Ji was buried in the pile of newspapers, and the ocean of newspapers pushed down three shelves in a row.
The short-haired girl rushed to escape.
At this point, the Black Tower continued to chime in with a pleasant voice: "3539, 3538 ......"
It's been a minute.
Tang Mo saw countless newspapers burying Big Huo Ji, and he and Fu Wenduo quickly went up to the second floor of the supermarket. They ran straight to an employee's office they had found earlier, unlocked the door, and hid inside.
One minute was enough time for seven players to split up and run away. Tang Mo gasped and quickly said, "That was a prop just now."
Fu Wenduo: "Disposable props. Those newspapers disappeared before Big Huo Ji stepped on them."
Tang Mo nodded, "But it was always a delay. That girl went that way on purpose, she knew the location of the trap laid by the little boy. If Big Huo Ji hadn't stepped on that prop and fallen into the trap, she would have been seriously injured just like her companion." The voice stopped and Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo : "...... How powerful do you think it is?"
Fu Wenduo was silent.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo have participated in many games together, and Fu Wenduo has never reacted well to either Pinocchio or the Iron Shoemaker. But this time was a little different. Fu Wenduo said calmly, "Big Huo Ji without Lao Ying is very weak, much weaker than its cousin. If there is no lightning strike punishment, we can kill it at any time without supernormal abilities. But it is ...... very strong after transforming into Lao Ying. Its speed just now was no slower than Pinocchio's instantaneous movement speed, and it was much more powerful."
Tang Mo recalled what he had just seen as he said, ''Lao Ying state of it might not be weaker than the Iron Shoemaker. The most important thing is that now that we've been blocked from our supernatural abilities, our physical qualities have also decreased. I feel like my speed and strength are only one-half of what they used to be. How about you?"
"Pretty much."
With Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo joining forces, it's not certain that they can't beat the Iron Shoemaker. Together with Xiao Jitong, Ningning and others, as well as their props, they had a good chance of winning. However, they don't have supernatural powers and their physical strength is limited by this copy. With Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo working together, they could at most save their lives, and it would be impossible to kill Big Huo Ji.
The sound of the Black Tower's countdown was still ringing out one at a time.
It has been two minutes since Big Huo Ji was buried in the mountain of newspapers, there was no sound in the silent supermarket, and all seven players found hiding places and hid from appearing. After another minute, a dull voice came from the first floor of the supermarket. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo walked vigilantly to the door, and the two of them pressed their ears against the door panel.
As if something was pounding the weights one at a time, it pushed the newspapers, which were smashing into itself, away with all its might.
Suddenly, "Coo-coo! Where are you guys, I'm gonna eat you, eat you!"
With a loud boom, Newspaper Mountain was pushed away by Big Huo Ji. He roared with rage and frantically searched the supermarket. The supermarket was very big, but Big Huo Ji was even faster. He is as big as a lightning bolt, but not too bulky, and he runs fiercely through the first floor of the supermarket.
As it ran to the supermarket bakery, it ran forward two meters and suddenly stopped.
The big Huo Ji stopped by the shelf without moving. Two seconds later, it let out a low, heady laugh. It suddenly turned its head and looked towards the darkened bakery. A second later, a roar sounded, "Fucking turkey!" A small figure came out of the bakery, followed by the little blonde boy running out of the bakery, followed by the sinister Big Huo Ji.
The little boy's physical quality itself is not as good as that of an adult, and he is also restricted in his supernatural ability, he only ran two steps before Big Huo Ji caught up with him and slashed at his throat with a claw. But in this instant, a silver light flashed from afar, Big Huo Ji tilted his head back to avoid the slash, and with a bang, the flying dagger stabbed into the wall.
In the school supplies section on the first floor of the supermarket, a woman in black stood between the shelves with an icy look on her face, staring coldly at Da Huo Ji.
One person and one chicken just looked at each other. In the next second, both moved together and rushed towards each other.
The sound of thumping and crashing resounded continuously on the first floor of the supermarket, and soon the sound reached the second floor. Ningning waved a slender silver Tang sword to block Big Huo Ji's claw, but her whole body was shaken out by Big Huo Ji's powerful force and smashed against the wall.
Big Huo Ji didn't have any wounds on his body, but Ningning's body was covered in blood. She leaned against the wall and panted heavily, but Big Huo Ji didn't give her a chance to rest, he stomped on the ground and charged again. Ningning hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid the blow, but Big Huo Ji laughed and laughed in advance, and flapped his huge wings at her head.
Ningning's eyes were wide open, and unable to dodge, he held his long sword in front of himself, intending to resist. At that moment, Big Huo Ji suddenly stopped moving and took a step backwards. The sound was slower than the bullet, an ear-piercing gunshot rang out in the supermarket, and the bullet shot through the wall. The bullet was so accurate that it forced Big Huo Ji to stop. Big Huo Ji turned his head, his red eyes staring menacingly at a hut deep inside the supermarket.
The next moment, two figures broke open the door and darted out of the house.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo attacked Big Huo Ji from two directions. Ningning was stunned for a moment, but she soon regained her senses and waved her long sword to join the attack on Big Huo Ji.
All three of them were extremely fast, and Ningning's speed was the fastest, and she was as agile as a fish, attacking Big Huo Ji nimbly. Fu Wenduo was the main attacking force, and he kept blocking Big Huo Ji's movement with his gun, and Big Huo Ji angrily stretched out his claws and slapped at Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo recited an incantation, and a pink Yang San appeared from behind him and snapped open in front of him. A small pink Yang San appeared from behind Fu Wenduo and snapped open in front of him.
Big Huo Ji's claws slapped down on little Yang San, Tang Mo was shaken and fell backwards, Fu Wenduo grabbed his hand and grabbed him back.
The two looked at each other silently, understanding each other with a single glance.
At that moment Ningning shouted, "Go to the first floor, Xiao Qiao is ready!"
Tang Mo put away his little Yang San with a swipe and stabbed at Big Huo Ji. Fu Wenduo circled around behind him and attacked from the other direction. He stomped on Big Huo Ji's wing, and Big Huo Ji avoided Tang Mo's Little Yang San while waving his wings to drive Fu Wenduo down.
Fu Wenduo: "Tang Mo!"
Tang Mo: "Yes!"
Fu Wenduo moved his fingers and a pitch-black dagger appeared in his hand. He held the dagger in his backhand, aiming the blade at Big Huo Ji's wings and slashing down with all his might. At the same time, Tang Mo held Little Yang San apart, and Big Huo Ji looked at Fu Wenduo in horror as soon as his dagger appeared, and tried his best to avoid it. But Fu Wenduo's speed was too fast for him to avoid it.
The seemingly ordinary black dagger slashed at Big Huo Ji's wings, just now even Tang Mo's little Yang San couldn't inflict any wounds on its body, but this dagger easily slashed Big Huo Ji's wings, and it let out a roar of pain and anger.
By this time, Tang Mo had opened his umbrella completely and was in front of Big Huo Ji. He looked at Fu Wenduo, and Fu Wenduo looked at him. Fu Wenduo reached out his hand, and together with Tang Mo, they grabbed the handle of the small Yang San's umbrella. The two of them shouted angrily and together they pushed Big Huo Ji down to the second floor of the supermarket.
With a loud bang, Big Huo Ji fell down the stairs from the second floor and hit the first floor.
Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and Ningning jumped down to the second floor, holding the stairs with one hand.
In the frozen food section in the distance, a little blonde boy waved his hand, "Here, here!"
Tang Mo The three of them looked at each other and rushed up together, attacking the large Huo Ji that was gradually coming back to its senses.
After being cut by Fu Wenduo's dagger, the Great Huo Ji became more cautious. He was no longer careless and kept an eye on Fu Wenduo's dagger every moment, not giving him a chance to attack him. The three of them were entangled with the Big Huo Ji, and together they forced the Big Huo Ji's position towards the direction of the little boy.
Big Huo Ji also sensed that something was wrong, realizing that it would not be good for him if he continued like this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Ningning, his blood red eyes staring at Ningning, Ningning's heart tightened, he stopped attacking Big Huo Ji together with Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, and turned around to run away.
But how could Big Huo Ji let her get away: "Gu Gu!"
Big Huo Ji entangled Ningning, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo chased after him, and Ningning ran behind him.
Tang Mo: "Run where you need to run!"
"Yes!" Ningning nodded and turned her head to run towards the little blonde boy. With her speed, she would definitely be caught up by the big Huo Ji before she could run past him. The blonde boy quickly realized this, his face changed expression, suddenly he lowered his head and picked up a red jade stone from the ground, shouting, "Captain, come and help!"
The little boy runs towards Ningning and the Big Huo Ji with the rock in his hand, and the second before the Big Huo Ji is about to catch up with Ningning, the little boy throws the red rock at it so hard that it hits it.
The moment the stone landed on Big Huo Ji, Big Huo Ji's movements lurched and the area where it was hit by the stone turned to stone. A palm-sized area of his chest was turned to stone, but soon the stones gradually returned to their original state.
The little boy cried out mournfully, "Captain!!!"
"Whoosh--"
Tang Mo saw a black figure sliding over the ground, holding a dark object in his hands. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a kite disk wheel. Xiao Jitong rolled and crawled from the second floor to the first floor, and in the second before the stone in Big Huo Ji's chest returned to normal, he finally ran to the spot where the little boy had just stood, and threw the kite disk wheel forward.
Under the rustling sound, a slim kite rope flew out from the disk wheel and bound the wing of Big Huo Ji that was scratched by Fu Wenduo. Big Huo Ji had a moment of dismay, it didn't understand what this rope was trying to do, and in the next second, as it was dragged forward bound by this rope, it finally understood the intentions of this group of players.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu!!!" Big Huo Ji roared angrily, but it had already entered the chain trap laid by the three Xiao Jitong.
After triggering the first mechanism, like falling dominoes, one mechanism after another will not stop triggering. Tang Mo saw the poor Huo Ji being tortured by various props one after another. One day it will be cut by a thousand cuts, but its skin is so thick that it doesn't get hurt at all; the other day it will be roasted by fire, but just as the big mole said, ordinary fire can't burn Huo Ji at all, and it doesn't get hurt at all.
The Black Tower is still happily counting down the time, and Tang Mo is watching Big Huo Ji being tossed around by one trap after another. No props could hurt the Big Huo Ji, it was like a brick wall. Though he grunted angrily, his face showed no sign of fear. Until it was pushed to the center of the supermarket by a red puppet, and a blue drop of transparent water slowly fell from the top of its head.
For the first time, a look of horror appeared on the face of the big Huo Ji. It looked at the droplets and kept cooing.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took a step forward in surprise, and Xiao Jitong and Ningning and Xiao Qiao looked on in anticipation. The drop was about to fall on Big Huo Ji's body, just two centimeters, one centimeter away, when a clear child's voice rang out -
"Dingdong! Player Qiao Zhi Edward triggered the 'Heartless Matricide' effect and gained the punishment Heavenly Strike."
The water droplets evaporated the second before they touched the big Huo Ji, and the blonde boy's face was ecstatic one second, but the next his face was like an overturned palette of colors, with all sorts of emotions erupting into a final, hateful, international rant, "Fuck you!"
Boom!
Silver lightning fell from the sky and struck the little boy on the head, and he was knocked backwards.
The Great Huo Ji was freed and roared at all the players. It extended its claws and slashed at Ningning, who was standing at the back of the crowd, this time with such force that it was twice as fast as before, before anyone had time to react. The claw slammed Ningning out of the room and sent him flying. Ningning spat out a mouthful of blood, and Big Huo Ji was about to go again, when a voice full of regret rang out-
"......1, 0."
"Dingdong! End of the side game ' Lao Ying Catching Chickens'."
As the voice fell, the Great Huo Ji's movements froze in place. Its eyes slowly turned back to black, and it walked stiffly over to the green bug, its wings hiked down, and it flopped down on the ground, surprisingly falling asleep.
After waiting for a while to make sure that Big Huo Ji was no longer moving, all the players breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Tang Mo put away Little Yang San and propped up the ground with the tip of his umbrella, wiping away the blood that ran down his lips.
After an hour of fleeing and fighting, Ningning and the girl who was attacked by Huo Ji at the beginning were the most injured. Tang Mo was slightly injured, and Fu Wenduo was not seriously hurt.
Big Huo Ji went to sleep, and those two girls hiding in the dark finally dared to come out.
The short-haired girl ran out of the darkness, crying, carrying her companion on her back. The companion on her back had long passed out by now. She was covered in blood, and the wound on her back was gaping open, revealing the red internal organs inside.
"Save her, save Yuan Yuan. i beg you, save her ......"
Xiao Jitong went up and looked at the wound, then took out a bottle of mineral water from his pocket and poured it on the girl's wound. After the mineral water was poured on her wound, the blood gradually stopped, Xiao Jitong said: "Her own physical quality is not high enough, and now she has been restricted in her physical ability. Her life is saved for the time being, the wound should heal in an hour, but it will be hard to save her if she is seriously injured again."
Each of the seven checked the condition of their injuries and treated their wounds.
Tang Mo's hand has a crack on the back, which was cut by Big Huo Ji's claws. Because of the weakened healing ability due to the decline in physical fitness, this wound did not heal completely, and the flesh turned over to the sides, revealing the blood vessels and white bones inside.
Earthworm's Tears still had two chances left to use, this prop could be a living bone, this small injury Tang Mo wasn't going to waste Earthworm's Tears.
A low male voice rang out, "Is that a prop?"
Xiao Jitong turned around and saw Fu Wenduo : "You mean this?" He shook the Nongfu Shanquan mineral water in his hand, the bottle was only half full, he said, "Well, it's a prop, it can cure some minor injuries. Do you want it?"
Fu Wenduo: "Thank you."
Fu Wenduo takes the bottle of mineral water back and he walks over to Tang Mo: "Want some?"
Tang Mo didn't make himself at home and extended his hand.
Fu Wenduo poured mineral water on Tang Mo's hand and some on his own arm wound. As soon as the mineral water was poured on them, their wounds healed at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. The speed of healing was too fast, even faster than Ningning's speed. Xiao Jitong narrowed his eyes at this scene.
A moment later, he laughed, "The second floor of the Black Tower?"
Tang Mo looked up at him. He knew what Xiao Jitong meant, and Tang Mo didn't retort, asking instead, "What about you guys?"
Xiao Jitong : "The second floor of the Black Tower, the second floor of the Black Tower." He pointed to himself and Ningning, and finally to the little boy : "Xiao Qiao went to break into the second floor with the rest of his teammates in a couple days, and now it's the first floor. I'm now thankful that we're participating in a realistic copy, the difficulty of realistic copies doesn't change much with player strength, otherwise ...... I don't know what kind of game we would have encountered."
The short-haired girl thought, "I ...... Yuan Yuan and I haven't cleared the Black Tower yet. Could it be that the order of this queue has something to do with the number of floors we've cleared the Black Tower?"
The offer gave Xiao Jitong an idea, and he was about to speak when a yawn sounded behind them.
The crowd looked back warily. The large green worm was actually still alive, struggling to wriggle its body to escape in the direction of the doorway. Big Huo Ji lazily opened its eyes and slapped a wing on the worm's body. It cursed, "Stupid bastard, still trying to run coo?" It raised its head and looked at the player.
Screams rang out.
"Ahhhhh! Who was it! Who is the one who beat my lovely children like this goo goo!"
No one paid any attention to the Great Huo Ji's sympathetic behavior. Its poor acting was almost as if it was mocking the players present as it wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of its eyes and said sadly, "My child, are you alright. Oops, are you dead?" It walked over to the unconscious little girl.
The short-haired girl angrily stepped in front of her friend. Big Huo Ji smiled at her oddly. The short-haired girl didn't dare to speak, but could only stare at Big Huo Ji with a fierce glare.
Big Huo Ji lifted his wings and wiped his tears with a false sense of humor, he was about to say some more "motherly love" words of concern, when a low magnetic male voice directly interrupted him and said lightly: "The second round of questioning can now begin. First question, what is the special meaning of the game Lao Ying Catching Chickens?"
Big Huo Ji's movement of wiping its tears froze, it turned its head and looked at Fu Wenduo.
