Quadruple split.

Chapter 2502 Cat and Mouse Game

"Alas, YOYO regrets it..."

At the same time, in the tavern [Oak House] in the Fire Moth District of the Free City, a girl with a rather mysterious origin who temporarily joined [Bath of Fire] muttered weakly, groaning and complaining, while lying on a table in the corner with excellent vision and concealment, looking around, fearing that a victim would jump out and shout "die, you bastard" to kill her.

"What do you regret?"

Quietly squeezing in through the half-closed window behind YOYO, the typing warrior, who was completely hidden under his hood and cloak, carefully sat next to the girl and asked furtively, "Did you see anyone suspicious?"

YOYO, who had been Aramis' bodyguard for two and a half days, nodded, raised her hand without hesitation, pointed at him and said seriously, "It's you."

"Don't make a fuss, little girl. I'm just covering it up tightly. There are all kinds of weird people here. Lizardmen with half their teeth missing, ogres with two heads swearing at each other, middle-aged elves who look like they'll die of overwork at any moment, and... there's also a female dwarf over there whose beard is longer than my hair. Which one of them is not more suspicious than me?"

Almost immediately after climbing in through the window, he completed an observation and analysis of every guest on the first floor of [Oak House], and completed a risk assessment at an outrageous speed, coming to the conclusion that 'this place looks pretty normal'. The typing warrior quietly breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed half a handful from the plate in front of his partner, and while crunching the snacks, he mumbled, "I'm a high-level person."

YOYO, who had also grabbed a handful of snacks and was about to put them into his mouth, was stunned. Then he burst into a loud cry that was seriously distorted due to his excessive excitement and deliberate lowering of the voice: "High-level!?"

"Yeah, it's advanced."

The typing warrior pulled out a bottle of soda from his bag that he had bought at the Wanderer's Inn in the Nightless Zone next door. He gulped down a few mouthfuls and burped a lychee-flavored burp. He lowered his voice and said, "The rewards for more than a dozen limited-time tasks were distributed all at once. It took me a while to realize that I was already at a high level. Although it's a bit watery, I'll have plenty of time to make up for it later."

YOYO whistled and said with emotion: "You should be the one who has leveled up the fastest in this game so far, right? You broke through from the initial account to the high level in less than three days. It's hard to believe that you, President, didn't cheat at this speed."

"Not really, not really. I just took advantage of the game mechanics a little bit. It's a high-risk gamble that can't be replicated. If I were to do it again, even if I had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to die."

The typing warrior smiled modestly and whispered, "In short, now is the best time for us to escape. It's still light outside and those 'managers' haven't taken it seriously yet. Hurry up!"

But YOYO spread her hands, leaned back in her chair, and shook her head, "It's too late."

The typing warrior was stunned for a moment, and then disappeared without any warning, and his aura dissipated completely in an instant.

【Escape】!

Although the typing warrior said that his current strength is very weak, he still chose "thief" as his main profession after rebuilding his character. Naturally, he cannot not know this escape skill, which is known as the signature skill of the thief system together with [Fatal Strike].

Like [Fatal Strike], [Escape] does not have any fancy features. It simply forces the user to enter stealth mode and maximizes the stealth level, concealing all traces of oneself while greatly increasing movement speed. Although the cooldown time is a full 12 hours, and after the 10-second duration, it will pay a huge price of 'physical energy, acuity limit and movement speed will immediately be reduced to 10%, and it will take 20 minutes to fully recover', it is still very effective in escaping in critical moments.

You know, complete breath concealment is almost equivalent to completely erasing one's own presence except on the visual level, and increasing the stealth level to the maximum means that under normal circumstances, even if two people are standing at an ambiguous distance where they can feel each other's breathing, a fully concealed stalker will not be discovered by the other party.

In other words, the effects of the skill [Escape] are completely complementary, and can literally help the user to 'escape' to the greatest extent.

Although it is only 10 seconds, in extreme cases, it is enough to decide a person's life or death.

In the eyes of the typing warrior, this moment was a complete "extreme situation". As cunning as he was, he realized that the situation was not good almost the moment YOYO spread her hands. When the girl just said the word "late", he had already activated [Escape] and rushed to the second floor as fast as possible.

So the question is, why did he run to the second floor instead of leaving directly through the window that was just a stone's throw away or the first-floor door that was less than five meters away?

It’s nothing, I just got used to it.

To be more specific, for a Typing Warrior who is a despicable person who can be regarded as a rat crossing the street even if he is not wanted by everyone, being surrounded and killed is a common thing. For example, in the [Olathe Saga] which was very popular before the release of [Realm of Innocence] and still has a large player base, there is no studio or club that is familiar to people that has not hunted him down!

The craziest one was the joint hunting by [Red Constellation], [Evil Valley], [Yingyingyan] and [Changpan]. According to the information recorded in the forum, that crazy revenge lasted for a full eighteen days. During this period, the pursuing party mobilized more than four hundred top masters in total, including even top-notch professional players such as Hanmei, Bumieying, Liuliu and Adu. The [Bath of Fire] guild, to which the typing warrior belonged, immediately cut ties with the president, saying that everyone has their own consequences, and since they are brothers, they should go and kill the typing warrior, and [Bath of Fire] will never provide any help to the president.

This is indeed the case. Take the leadership of [Bath of Fire] headed by Seventy-Six Hammers for example. Not only did they not provide any assistance to the typing warriors, they even shared the location information obtained through "friends" and "guild lists" with the majority of pursuers for a fee, making a huge profit.

Even in this situation where he was deserted by everyone, the typing warrior died only three times in these eighteen days!

Don't think this is a lot. You should know that [Olathe War] does not have the cruel death penalty in [Boundary of Innocence]. The cost of three deaths is only 30% of the coins on the typing warrior, the equipment wear and tear equivalent to about 20 yuan of repair cost, and only an hour of weakness.

Even Xinglong, who was the main cause of this great manhunt (he was killed by a sneak attack by the typing warrior while using the toilet, which led to the failure of the super-large-scale joint mission shared by the four forces), but did not participate in it, has publicly stated that if the typing warrior was replaced by himself, he would be stuck at the resurrection point for a maximum of 12 hours, and could only choose between 'going offline' and 'staying in the safe zone and staring blankly'.

To sum up, Typing Warrior is definitely an expert in 'running away'!

In the eyes of experts, since the other party has set their sights on them, the window that is so close and the front door that seems to be wide open are definitely [death options]. In addition, the wine cellar that is very suitable for hiding people also has a high probability of becoming a turtle jar!

In fact, since [Escape] can only guarantee the highest stealth level for 10 seconds, it is impossible for him to ensure that he will leave the tavern without being caught!

Therefore, the best way is to go up to the second floor within 10 seconds and hide in a room. It is dangerous, but as long as he can hold on until he can escape from the battle, he can calmly log off and make long-term plans.

By the way, although logging off immediately was the best solution, the typing warrior felt layers of chaotic and mixed aura sweeping over him almost the moment he activated [Escape], and the indiscriminate hostility contained in it instantly dragged him into a combat state.

If you risk logging out, there is a high chance that your body will be left in the game. If you are controlled by some means that even suicide is not possible during the process, the character of Typing Warrior may very likely become his grave in this game!

After all, [The Realm of Innocence] does not support deleting characters by any means other than 'death'.

As a result, in a flash, the Typing Warrior rushed straight to the stairs the moment he activated [Escape]. Under the absolute concealment of the skill effect, he fearlessly rushed to the second floor at the fastest speed, and then -

"This way please, Mr. Typing Warrior." "The boss is waiting for you in this room."

The ogre, who was just swearing at the downstairs, appeared seamlessly on the second floor at this moment and leaned over to salute the typing warrior. Each of his two heads spoke in an accent known as the "Old Cangyue Aristocratic Accent" which is praised as the most beautiful spoken language. His tone was extremely gentlemanly, which was completely inconsistent with their rough appearance and almost naked outfit.

"An epic space mage..."

The typing warrior glanced at the still twisted floor under the ogre's feet, which had not yet completely recovered its stability. He then shifted his gaze to the head on the left with a single eye emitting a dark purple glow. While canceling the meaningless [Escape], he curiously asked, "Plus an epic-level warlock?"

The two heads of the ogre smiled at each other, and then turned their heads again to focus their gaze on the typing warrior -

"Your guess is generally correct."

The head with only one big eye on the left nodded slightly.

"But strictly speaking, we have taken half a step further than normal epic mages and epic warlocks."

The one on the right, who looked even rougher than Anthony and had a tattoo on his cheek, smiled reservedly.

[A two-headed ogre spellcaster who is half a step away from becoming a legend. Tsk tsk, his watchdog is of this level. The person in the room is probably not some trash who can be easily evaded...]

The typing warrior sighed in his heart, but on the surface he nodded slightly without showing any emotion. He smiled at both ends very tactfully, then took a deep breath, held his head high and walked into the small room with the door ajar in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Typing Warrior."

Sitting on the only chair in the room, a tall, thin old man wearing a dirty dark green robe, who was not good-looking in every sense, stood up and walked enthusiastically to the surprised cat-man thief. He grabbed his hands and shook them vigorously: "I have heard a lot about you, I have heard a lot about you!"

"Hello! I'm a typing warrior!"

Because the other party's sexual orientation was not a problem (otherwise the system would prevent such abrupt contact), the typing warrior did not mind this enthusiasm. He smiled brightly and enthusiastically at the old man with sparse beard and hair and a shifty look, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you. Please forgive me!"

"No, no, it's me who's being presumptuous. If I hadn't noticed that the tasks you triggered were mostly completed, I'm afraid you would have left this damn place before dark. I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to make such an rude 'invitation' to you in such an inelegant way."

The old man took the typing warrior's arm and invited him to sit in front of the wooden chair in the middle of the room. He then sat on the chair opposite the window. "Well, let me introduce myself. I am the governor of the Free City. You can call me Sauron."

As soon as these words came out, the typing warrior, who had been calm just now, suddenly widened his eyes and said in surprise from the bottom of his heart: "You said you are the... Archon of the Free City?!"

"I think so, Mr. Typing Warrior."

The old man who called himself Soran smiled and said calmly, "I think I should be the real governor of the Free City."

The typing warrior subconsciously twitched his ears and immediately followed the other party's rhythm: "So, that Governor Rovik is really a puppet?"

"No, no, no, dear Mr. Typing Warrior, Rovik has never been a helpless puppet. Rather than a so-called 'puppet', he is more like a warrior, a hero, or a noble martyr."

Soran emphasized this very seriously, then changed the subject and said with emotion: "But since you used the word 'as expected', it proves that some truths hidden deep in the muddy current are indeed hard to hide from the eyes of smart people."

The typing warrior did not continue to follow the topic provided by Soran, but asked directly and politely: "So I am very curious, what is the reason that can make a big man like you come to find a small person like me in person?"

"Haha, as the leader of the most well-known online group among 'players', the [Bath of Fire Guild] will not be outdone even by professional players and studios. It's normal for someone like me to come to their door, isn't it?"

"Yeah, that's why I can't guess the reason. After all, there are too many logical reasons to count."

"agent."

"agent?"

"Yes, the Free City needs an agent, and after comprehensive consideration, several old friends and I agree that you and your [Bath of Fire] are one of the best choices."

"My goodness, the City of Innocence, which has not even been established yet, is so attractive?"

"Our 'sincerity' will tell you the answer."
