As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 482 The Invisible Truth
Li Nuola opened the door, and as the stench of the slaughterhouse wafted out, the bright light shone on his face. Shao Hong was standing at the door with the goods.

"Quite fast."

He went over to count the goods.

A plastic box filled with some herbs and animal livers.

The Cairo people didn't know what alchemical materials were, but the players who commissioned the project did know. What they brought over were a bunch of stuff bought from stores, and Li Nuo was quite satisfied with it.

"Li, Li Nuo?"

Shao Hong called him tentatively. She was still a little afraid of Li Nuo and worried that she would be eaten.

Li Nuo stared at her with big eyes: "Well, thank you."

Shao Hong said: "Johnson asked me to tell you that they found something while patrolling the streets..."

Li Nuo: "The vampire's aura is gone."

"Um……"

"It's ok."

Li Nuo's gentleness was unexpected, even though the warehouse behind him was covered in blood.

"What are you going to do?" Shao Hong asked. She was very curious but very timid.

Li Nuo asked Cuihua to help carry the boxes into the warehouse, and then scratched his messy hair.

"Decoction, magic potion, or ordinary medicine. Herbs and liver can be processed after being ignited to make alchemical bombs with chain explosions. I don't have anything now, so I have to make some preparations for myself."

"Are you going to start a fight?"

"It's impossible not to fight, right?"

Seeing Shao Hong's fear, Li Nuo turned around and snapped his fingers: "Take out the big cup on my table!"

"() is coming~!"

Lilo Lilo ran out of the house in small jumps and threw the iron thermos in his hand to Shao Hong.

The half-empty cup suddenly accelerated, Shao Hong's pupils constricted, and she felt like she was going to die.

Li Nuo suddenly stretched out his hand to catch the bottle. The huge penetrating force sent him flying, and with a bang he crashed into a metal box in the distance...

Li Luoli Luo's eyes widened: "Oh no..."

Cuihua floated out of the warehouse like a will-o'-the-wisp, and said with empty eyes, "You're done. He holds a grudge."

"Ah——!" Lilo Lilo turned and ran: "Ah——! I was wrong! Being powerful is not what I intended!"

It didn't run into the warehouse, but ran towards the avenue.

Li Nuo climbed out from the pile of metal boxes.

"Fortunately, the materials in this world are not that hard..."

He got up, wiped the blood from his nose, and thought to himself, fortunately, what he threw just now was not a Nokia.

Li Nuo raised his eyes and threw the thermos cup in his hand to Shao Hong, who was still in shock.

[Breath Potion]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: After drinking, a circular aura with a radius of 50 meters is released. Within this aura, your presence is slightly weakened.]

[Brief description: Bathhouse Voyeurism Artifact]

Shao Hong was a little surprised: "This..."

Li Nuo blew the blood from his nose and said, "You are very curious, and you can't fight, so you are likely to get yourself killed. This thing is so-so, but if you use it well, it can also extend your life."

In fact, Li Nuo made it specially for Shao Hong.

Now he has no torture instruments, his teammates are not around, and he lacks equipment and skills. He is only a bucket of instant noodles away from becoming a useless person. The importance of temporary teammates is unquestionable, and Shao Hong is especially valuable.

In intelligence wars, players like Shao Hong can sometimes influence the outcome of the battle.

"So please, all three of you, protect her."

Li Nuo turned around and looked at the bushes not far away.

Behind the grass, Hodum, Sancho and the big tree, who were responsible for transporting the goods, shuddered.

The three buddies stood up at the same time and stopped hiding.

In Li Nuo's eyes, the three of them looked as if they would come over and dismember him in the next second.

"Um... Let me ask, are you three also implicated?"

You can tell from the attire and demeanor of these three guys that they are players.

He also didn't expect that the people transporting the goods would be players.

"That's not the case." The leader, Hodum, explained, "The three of us originally took a job on this planet, so... well, we can't run away anyway."

Li Nuo went straight to the point without any nonsense.

“Do you have any connections?”

"Uh... no, although we play the role of interstellar hunters, we are of the kind... mercenaries."

"Any information on the script?"

"I just got here and I don't know anything." Hodum paused and explained, "Well... it's not that the three of us can't fight, it's just that our level is so different from yours..."

In the next five minutes, Hodum and the others introduced their abilities.

Since there is no equipment, only skills, it is actually simple to say.

Hodum is a player who plays illusion and is also good at exploration.

Sancho and Maokai are both melee players who rely more on skills, and equipment is not a necessity for them.

In order to show respect, Li Nuo nodded and praised them as "so awesome".

The more Hodum spoke, the more excited he became.

The three of them were experts in their respective fields around level 25, and were almost high-level players.

In the past, Hodum had also played the player breeding farm. At that time, he was in his prime, with as many as twenty people under his command, and he was one step away from establishing a guild.

Just when they were about to punch "Wrath of Bahamut" and step on "Cairo World", they entered a certain scenario and became [Invaders] for the first time.

That script was "The Corridor of Finale".

Players of "Endless Corridor" are good at farming, or in other words, they are good at doing things step by step. They make friends with medieval lords, create pastoral idylls, organize the army, and first grasp the power in their hands, while working on the main line and guarding against opponents.

As a result, there were only two people in the "Corridor of the End", but they managed to drive out the hidden BOSS and flatten the entire city.

The fruit that I worked so hard for half a month was crushed in an instant as if it was just someone playing around.

On the bright side, the three Hodum brothers and the players they raised had the numerical advantage at the time, and their levels were much higher than the opponents, so they just fought.

In the end, only three brothers survived.

That battle... was not a duel at all, it was a one-sided massacre. The "End Corridor" left them with a huge psychological trauma.

From then on, the three of them figured out that the "Endless Corridor" is weak. It's okay to fish inside, but if you encounter players from other corridors, you won't know how you died.

So, let’s focus on our own people.

Then the three of them met a pair of glasses.

The three brothers reflected on their mistakes and thought that they might not be able to keep up with the changes of the times.

So he slapped his forehead and thought, hey~ like a smart guy, he found an indigenous landlord in Basel, started working for him, and earned some simple script tickets to live.

In other words, waiting to die.

Many players gradually become desperate about the future as they see more and bigger worlds. They may have stood at the top of the pyramid in the early days, but as time goes by and the rules change, their previous advantages slowly disappear, and power, authority, connections, everything they once had are wiped out with the failure of certain scripts.

In a person’s life, one failure can sometimes mean the end of his whole life.

Live one day at a time has become the real thought of most people.

There are more than 9,000 active players in "Endless Corridor", of which only half can be considered first-line players, and most of them are truly high-level, high-intensity players.

The three Hodum brothers were the ones who were eliminated.

They believe that no matter how powerful the "Endless Corridor" is, it is meaningless. The higher the level, the greater the probability of encountering other corridors. Unless they become a member of the top team like "Wrath of Bahamut", they will die at the hands of others in the end.

Until I heard the answer to "World War".

Lillian's strength was well known, so her victory was indeed unexpected, but not abrupt.

Li Nuo was the abrupt one.

The three brothers of Hodum would regard the "rise of a nobody" like Li Nuo as a kind of thought, and eventually develop a worship mentality.

"So...we've been wanting to talk to you for a long time."

Hodum sighed. The three of them had been bastards, had their moments of glory, but in the end, they were left with nothing.

"Finished?"

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes, he and Cuihua were holding a bag of popcorn.

"..."

"When you're done, take out the money."

Li Nuo stretched out his hand and kidnapped the three big brothers with peace of mind.

"Since we're transporting things for you, can you please leave some for us?"

"No."

Li Nuo counted the money skillfully and seemed to be in a good mood.

Huo Dumu now understood that Li Nuo did not eat children, but he ate players.

At this time, Lilolilo ran back from outside roaring, and the little guy ran into the warehouse like a blind man.

"This idiot... Cuihua, go back."

"Okay~!"

Li Nuo turned around and left. He originally wanted to snatch the temporary equipment that the three of them carried with them, but then he thought that if Johannesson could use them, he might need them, so he gave up.

"Shao Hong, leave them to you and Johnathan. I'll take care of my own business first."

"okay."

The iron door of the warehouse was closed.

Shao Hong comforted him: "Actually, he is a good person."

Hodum was noncommittal: "Yeah, at least he didn't eat us."

Li Nuo could hear their conversation behind the door, but he didn't take it seriously and strode deep into the warehouse.

"Cuihua, do me a favor."

Cuihua was a little unhappy. It seemed like there was endless work to do following Li Nuo. This guy was a typical overtime maniac. He could even work for several days without sleeping.

“Any kickbacks?”

"I'll try to change your name."

"I'm going to call 'Lucifer'!"

Cuihua's name is its only weakness.

Li Nuo plans to find an opportunity to give it a name of about a thousand words.

"Get to work! My Lucifer!"

"Okay~!"

The Canghuo containing crystal magic is the flame of the soul. Cuihua can control the flame on her body so as not to cause elemental influence on things. As a part of Li Nuo's alchemy process, she is half an assistant. She is very handy in distributing medicinal ingredients and can also sort out the alchemy equipment at the same time.

Li Nuo placed the body of the vampire leader on the table. What he had to do was more important.

Just now, he decomposed the gorilla princess' pets and made some simple alchemical potions, which were used to extract the "mutation inducers" from the origin of things on behalf of him who could hardly use his magic power now.

【Magic Dettol】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: The mutation-inducing substances floating from the body of the object are manifested in the form of magic factors]

[Brief description: Cheap magic potion, good stuff for people without magic power, but it doesn't sell for much money]

Li Nuo envisioned using the magic potion to extract the magic factor of the vampire leader and thus find the virus in his body.

He didn't care what kind of medicine the boss could make, he only cared about the value behind it, which was the main task.

Johannesson might be able to accomplish this, but the process would produce poisonous gas, which might cause the virus to spread. Only the demon hunter who is immune to all poisons doesn't care about it.

Hey.

Blue potion dripped onto the vampire leader's body.

In theory, a dim magic factor would shine from the corpse, but in reality, the magic factor was too dim.

"Um……"

"What's wrong?" Lilolilo asked, coming over with a noodle pot.

"Strange..." Li Nuo frowned: "The vampire leader's magic factor is very weak, which is expected, but it is too weak."

Li Nuo gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and focused his energy on his dantian. He mobilized the remaining magic power in his body and used his magic power to activate Denise's stronger perception.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils were golden.

When the magic power is insufficient, forcibly stimulating the demon power will cause the muscles to ache and swell, but one can see many things that are not clearly visible.

He saw what seemed to be invisible "bugs" in the air.

The vampire leader's magic factor was also seen flowing toward the ground.

"The main line... is below ground?"

Magic factors are generally more like dandelions that encounter wind and move upwards. This is the first time he has seen one move downwards. Li Luoli Luo looked at him in confusion.

Li Nuo also looked at it.

Eyes facing each other.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is trying to make you work overtime.

"Dig the ground."

"Oh."

Lilolilo was very obedient. He took a shovel and dug the ground. After digging for more than an hour, the little guy sat in the pit and suddenly realized a terrible problem.

"(д)<You don't want me to dig my own grave!"

Li Nuo teased it by taking advantage of the situation.

"You want to be cremated?"

Lilo Lilo buried himself crying.

Li Nuo squatted in front of the deep pit, touched his chin with his hand, and observed that the magic factors would disappear in the area of ​​the deep pit.

"There is a warp beneath this city."

At this time, Cuihua floated over with a piece of paper. The note recorded the information of the fortune teller who had predicted the fortune for the gorilla princess. It was the information she learned from asking the pink-haired gorilla again.

The pink-haired gorilla said that the fortune teller predicted that there were higher-dimensional creatures behind the whole incident.

Li Nuo wanted to meet the fortune teller.

but not now.

He put the note into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then looked again at the magic factor that had disappeared near the deep pit.

"Subspace zone..."

It would be nice if Cha Bai was here.

Thinking this, he walked towards the alchemy table set up by Cuihua. The information was temporarily cut off, but he could not waste time. He had to make the decoction quickly.

It turns out that women are the ones who go out.

……

Basel.

Cha Bai felt that Li Nuo missed her.

"..."

She was speechless at her own self-conceit.

"Marjie..."

Cha Bai put down the book in his hand and went to the maintenance room. After opening the door, he saw that the maintenance room was decorated as a vampire's room. Maljie was lying in the [weapon box], and a group of mechanical life forms played the role of "vampire slaves".

"You guys are playing cosplay, right?"

As a professional COSPLAY player, Cha Bai didn't understand what was going on in his mind.

The mechanical lifeform explained to her: "The leader said that he wants to fight the damn demon hunter's torture device alone, so no one should disturb him."

Cha Bai took a deep breath and said, "Tell your leader that I am going to open a space gate first. If he feels that he is about to be transported away, he should use the 'Voice Transmission Spirit' or the 'Intracranial Communicator' to tell me."

After slamming the door, Cha Bai held her forehead with her hand. If she knew how to smoke, she would definitely light a cigarette to calm herself down.

Why is our captain like this...

After returning to the study, Cha Bai flipped through the magic book and found a new teleportation ability that she had seen, which was actually a sacrificial ritual.

After setting up the altar, she took out the [piece of shit] and placed it on the table.

"Summon the Balala God of Stinky Things, give me strength, and take me to the world I want to go to!"

Cha Bai had checked and found that this "God of Stink" recorded in the book was a master of magic who appeared in the history of "Ikaros". He had been to the Sky City of Ikaros and extracted some special space magic from the threshold and later modified it into a mysterious teleportation spell.

Most importantly, this "God of Stinky Things" is extremely weak.

She silently chanted a spell, activated the "Ancient Blood", and used magic power to build a bridge to connect to the altar.

--snort.

Cha Bai felt as if he heard a familiar voice.

"what?"

[Player 5950, random scenario summoned]

"Hey?"

When Cha Bai reacted, she was already standing on the train to the script.

"Why!?"

[This is a personal leisure scenario. You cannot contact any of your teammates and can only complete this scenario alone.]

[Scene "Reborn as a Maggot"]

[Script Difficulty: lv80]

[Below your intensity, helping you have a pleasant journey]

She triggered the incredible "ticket" ability, which is a treatment exclusive to the protagonist.

……

Shao Hong parked the car on the side of the road and called Johnathan on her cell phone.

"These three people... are all players. Their strength is estimated to be..."

"Brother Li didn't use them?"

"No."

Johannessen was silent for a few seconds, then he said:
"It's possible that these three people have character or ability flaws. It's more likely that the young man thinks that the greatest role of these three people is to protect you. But for me, Luo Lei and the young man, the importance of these three people is not high for the time being. On the contrary, it's safer for them not to follow the three of us, provided that you don't commit suicide."

"That's it..."

Shao Hong looked out the window and saw the three Hodum brothers buying guns and bullets at a weapons shop.

"Mr. John, you guys react so quickly that I sometimes can't keep up."

She was a little disappointed.

Shao Hong is a scientific researcher in real life. Her talent lies more in book theories. In fact, her mind works very quickly. After all, barbarians cannot have fun in the corridors. Diplomas are a symbol of the bottom line of thinking ability, but in life-and-death situations, some unconventional methods are needed, which is Shao Hong's weakness.

She's so good.

"Shao Hong, your existence means more than all of us."

"Stop joking, Mr. John..."

"Oh, believe it or not."

There were sounds of gunfire coming from Johannesson's side.

"We still haven't found any trace of the vampire leader, and we don't have any clues. Luo Lei and I will go around again. You should be careful."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Shao Hong sighed and took out a box of cigarettes from under the seat in the car. She didn't know how to smoke before, and she even had her first love a year ago when she was 28 years old. That love changed her life. She died accidentally during a date and came to the "Endless Corridor".

Now that she is single again, she has left her original social circle and lives under great pressure every day, with tension following her everywhere.

"call……"

She exhaled a puff of smoke. Only cigarettes could sometimes deceive her mind.

"I'm so useless..."

"Shao Hong."

Sancho, one of the three brothers in front of the shop, waved to her.

Shao Hong crushed the cigarette in panic.

"Come on, come on!"

She got out of the car at a very fast speed. Sancho came close and whispered, "I found a strange guy."

In the alley behind the store, there was a suspicious woman with pale skin and anemia, as if all her blood had been sucked out.

The three brothers noticed her because the woman walked in a strange way, like a puppet.

"vampire."

Shao Hong bit her lip, took out her cell phone and immediately contacted Johnathan.

At this moment, the woman was groping for something in the shadows, and her body began to become translucent.

Dashu, one of the three brothers, took action and pinned the vampire to the ground. Hodum rushed over and kicked the football with big strides, bursting the vampire's head!

Sancho opened his eyes wide and said helplessly: "Hey... catch him alive!"

"No chance."

Hodum picked up a piece of meat, and it disappeared from his palm.

"The vampire is disappearing... I don't know the exact circumstances though... If you don't kill it quickly, it will run away on its own."

As he spoke, Hodum had a pair of sunglasses in his hand.

【Visible Sunglasses】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect 1: You can see things that others cannot see, such as hidden ghosts]

[Effect 2: Detect "Player" panel]

[Brief description: Xiao Ming couldn't see himself in the mirror. He suspected that there was something wrong with the mirror, so he wanted to find someone to replace it. He suddenly remembered that he had something to do, so he dressed neatly, put on his favorite sunglasses, and looked in the mirror. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the mirror.]

When Shao Hong was driving, he gave the [Cairo Guard Bandit Badge] to the three brothers, and the three of them could also receive the task of killing the leader and recovering the equipment.

Hodum put on his sunglasses.

"Very good. Having these sunglasses is like having a strategy guide in your hand..."

He hesitated.

The people around also noticed something was wrong.

"Hodum?"

"What did you see?"

Hodum frowned, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with astonishment.

"So many bugs..."

At this time Shao Hong hung up the phone.

"insect?"

"Well... the city is full of dense bugs."

At this moment, his sunglasses scanned out an obscure answer:

[Chimera ant flying insects: virus carriers, carrying "vampire" cells]

"Chimera Ant?"

"Full-time Hunter?"

The three brothers panicked.

Shao Hong quickly informed Johannesson of this information.

Ten kilometers away.

When Johannesson saw the "Chimera Ant" on his mobile phone screen, his mental state became tense.

"Damn..."

He called Shao Hong immediately.

——"This is Cairo signal~The person you dialed is out of service area~Hehe~Maybe he is right behind you!"

Shao Hong was still unaware of the strange phenomena happening around her.

There’s more big news.

When Hodum looked toward the city's main road through his sunglasses, behind the flying insects that only he could see, a huge black airflow rushed straight into the sky like a tornado.

[High-dimensional life form:? ? ]

"Hodum, are the sunglasses accurate?"

Shao Hong asked him, wanting to confirm this matter.

"Seventy percent."

After getting the answer, Shao Hong immediately walked out of the alley.

But they can no longer get out.

A door opened under the shadow where the vampire leader was just now.

[Space connecting door: a door that only opens in the shadows, a door that connects to the mirror city, a door that only the vampire leader can open]

As a white light flashed across Hodum's sunglasses, the surroundings became quiet.

The dense swarms of flying insects in the city are gone.

Four people were sucked in by the door.

[The Other World: A mirror space that is the same as the real world, the only difference is that there is no one]
