Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

"Will he be here?"

In the cemetery, two men patrolled with guns, and the younger one asked the older man next to him a question.

"You better pray he's not here. That madman is a menace here."

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said irritably, while simultaneously shivering.

He still remembered what had happened earlier. They were ordered to hunt down Bai Xi, but things hadn't gone as planned.

It wasn't just disappointing; we were practically being played for a fool!

With so many guns, they hadn't even fired two shots before one of them was taken down, and then calmly left the encirclement, disappearing to who knows where.

The whole process felt as if a ghost or phantom was hovering around them.

It's truly frightening; will they be the next ones to have their spines sliced ​​open by that sharp sword?

The uncle shook his head and walked slowly, not noticing the small half of a gun barrel peeking out from old Mansfield's grave.

No, anyone who came would think it was just a wooden stick.

Then, Bai Xi carefully dug into the soil, poked her head out, quickly glanced around, and then jumped back into the coffin.

They also covered it with soil.

Only the gun barrel that was peeking out remained, slightly tilted, aimed at the two people walking towards them, according to Bai Xi's memory.

He listened quietly to the footsteps, slowly moving the gun barrel in sync with them. He only stopped when he heard the footsteps cease.

Then, he pulled the trigger.

He's very good at this; pinpointing locations by sound is a trick he's done countless times before.

[Rifle inspection score: 14/20, successful]

The bullet fired, and the check was successful. Even Bai Xi was stunned for a moment.

He just fired a shot randomly, not really expecting anything, but to his surprise, the gun he got on the spur of the moment actually came in handy.

Wow, that's awesome!

【伤害检定=2d6+4=5+5+4=14点】

[Killed]

In an instant, a bullet pierced the man's head, leaving behind a trail of white debris.

The young guard was stunned, staring at the scene in astonishment, almost frozen in place.

The older one, however, fell straight down and became completely silent.

Then, almost instinctively, he backed away, even dropping his gun on impulse, and scrambled to escape.

They mistakenly thought it might be some kind of miracle!

But just then, he felt himself bump into something, and a shadow fell in front of him.

He raised his head, his voice trembling, but was stopped by the person in front of him.

"You seem to be looking for me?"

Bai Xi asked curiously, then a smile appeared on his lips as he drew his longsword.

A clean and decisive leaping strike!

[Jump cut check = 86/80, failed]

So you've finally met your match!

For a moment, KP spoke with tears in his eyes. After seeing this guy show off for so long, he even doubted whether he had really met a god-level player.

Fortunately, you see, it can still fail, right?

In that instant, as Bai Xi leaped up and smashed the sword blade, his elbow twisted and struck the guard's neck.

He watched this scene unfold, and the guards watched him too; an awkward silence descended upon them.

"Um, could you please stop moving for a moment? Or I can try again. Don't worry, this time it won't go astray, it'll be over in one go."

Bai Xi said considerately, but after a moment of stunned silence, the guard in front of her suddenly had tears in his eyes.

Then, she burst into tears.

It felt like I was seeing a ghost or monster that my family used to talk about when I was a child.

"Oh dear, why are you crying?"

Bai Xi scratched his head, completely unaware that he was the one who had scared the other person to tears.

But suddenly, the sound of rolling dice rang out, and Bai Xi's expression changed as he saw several figures in the distance.

The guards caught up. Perhaps they heard the crying, or perhaps they heard the sound of bullets.

"Only one was cut off again."

Bai Xi shook his head, regretfully abandoning his plan to strike again, and quickly left.

But this time it didn't go back into the coffin; instead, it ran off to another place.

The coffin was no longer safe; the immediate priority was to find a new hiding place. The final goal was to move to the basement.

Thinking of this, Bai Xi's expression dimmed briefly.

He hadn't figured out how to explain the situation to Alice yet; just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Of course, he didn't need to think about it much.

There were three guards stationed in the basement, and Bai Xi would not be able to enter the basement until they were dealt with.

This is also the core reason why Bai Xi is still fighting a guerrilla war outside.

Leaving the commotion of the guards behind, Bai Xi estimated the time.

The dead man could buy him two or three minutes to find a new hiding place.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he made his decision, turned around, and headed straight for the manor.

It's dark under the lamp.

With all the guards searching the basement and the perimeter, the manor was actually the safest place for the time being.

Moreover, the manor's terrain is complex, so even if it is discovered, there is room to maneuver and escape.

Go back to your room, set up some traps and escape routes, and then wait for them to come to you.

These ordinary guards, who had no commanders, were relatively easy to deal with.

Bai Xi pondered in his mind and quickly passed the stealth check.

Stealth check score = 27/80, success on difficulty.

So, like a ghost, Bai Xi bypassed the cemetery, quickly went to the side gate of the manor, and without making a sound, quickly slipped back to his room.

Thanks to Chaos, his room was secluded enough that it didn't belong anywhere else.

After carefully closing the door, Bai Xi turned around to set a trap, only to realize something was wrong.

He turned around, looked at the sofa, and stared at Stoffey sitting on it.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Bai Xi spoke first, then quickly looked around, and couldn't help but swear:

"Damn it, you're here, but why didn't you even set up traps or escape routes? Are you afraid you won't die fast enough?"

"I just arrived."

Stoffey responded helplessly, but he also had to admit that he probably didn't have Bai Xi's awareness.

But both of them clearly realized one thing: their thoughts seemed to coincide...

"How long do you think it will take for them to arrive?"

"Based on our assumptions that we've both come this far, it'll be at most fifteen minutes."

With deadpan eyes, Bai Xi explained as he outlined the escape route.

"I see. So, what are your thoughts?"

Stoffey looked out the window and asked. Bai Xi was silent for a moment, then replied:

"You mean, escape?"

No, that's not it.

Stoffey shook his head: "I meant revenge."

Her fair hand paused, and she hesitated before turning back to look at Stoffey, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"Layton went a bit too far, didn't he? I don't really like it."

He gave a mocking laugh and said, "Isn't it ridiculous? As a despised bastard, the only person in my background who ever showed me any concern and wanted me to live was Chaos."

"It's a pity that good deeds don't always go unrewarded. It doesn't seem worth it. So, I want to do something about it."

He spoke succinctly, stood up, and Bai Xi looked at him before giving him a smile.

"The target is Layton. Just as we planned from the beginning, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Stoffey added, and Bai Xi nodded slightly.

"But we still need to escape their pursuit, and we'll only have a chance when Layton is temporarily off guard or alone."

"Do you have a solution?"

Stoffey countered with a question when confronted with Bai Xi's dilemma.

Bai Xi, on the other hand, revealed a lighthearted smile:

"You know what, I actually have one."

"So, how about playing a game with me to break through the encirclement and go to the basement?"
