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

In front of the basement, three guards sat in front of the wall, holding their guns to their chests, chatting idly.

Do you think he'll come here?

One of them, munching on a peanut, asked the question, only to be met with a cold glance from the other two.

"He wouldn't have run here if he wasn't crazy."

The other person shook his head and analyzed logically:

"How could he possibly defeat the three of us with his bare hands? Besides, even if he managed to sneak into the basement, he would be doomed."

"Once we guard the gate, even a bird wouldn't be able to escape, let alone a person. If he actually goes in, then he's truly fallen into a trap!"

The others nodded in agreement, and then the topic shifted to something else.

At that moment, there seemed to be a faint clattering sound of dice, but no one heard it, and everything continued.

Only in the pitch-black shadows were the footsteps drowned out by the sound of dice.

Death arrives silently.

Suddenly, the guard heard a turbulent sound as if the wind was being cut. He instinctively looked up, but his eyes widened in surprise.

Then, he saw the sword blade aimed at his neck, and the joyful smile on Bai Xi's face.

He said, "I think I heard you guys talking about me?"

"Surprise!"

[Stealth jump attack, default success, hits the neck, 1d4 critical hit damage bonus]

【跳劈伤害=2d6+2d4+2=2+4+4+3+2=15点】

In an instant, a head filled with astonishment and disbelief flew up. Bai Xi quickly raised his sword, shaking off a line of blood from the blade.

Then, he looked at the two remaining guards in front of him and the momentary panic on their faces.

However, after the panic subsided, a resolute look appeared on his face. With rare composure, he picked up the gun, almost immediately began loading it, and aimed it at Bai Xi.

Seeing this, Bai Xi couldn't help but sigh.

At times like this, I miss the R'lyeh Fog spell terribly. The instant fog spell followed by stealth attacks was incredibly useful.

Unfortunately, my card doesn't work.

Moreover, this isn't the only option right now, is it?

Thus, temporarily abandoning his plans for Chaoyou, Bai Xi stepped forward, sparks flying from his sword, and shouted in a booming voice:

"Storfy!"

In the shadows in the distance, Stoffey held a rifle in his arms, gritted his teeth slightly, and casually aimed at a guard.

Then, fire!

[Rifle inspection score: 64/20, failed]

The one-in-five miracle didn't happen again; the bullet missed, but Stoffey knew it didn't matter!

He certainly didn't know how to use a rifle, but in their plan, all he had to do was fire a shot!

After firing that shot, Stoffey got up without hesitation and ran towards the outside.

In that instant, the bullets fired and exploded, and the two armed guards froze for a moment, hesitating instinctively.

There are reinforcements? And they have guns?

One of them glanced back, while the other stared blankly.

But even that one moment is enough.

Bai Xi stepped forward and came to the two of them.

Then, with a blank expression, he jumped and slashed!

[Jump Slash Check = 68/80, Success, No Critical Hit]

[Enemy dodge check = 48/30, failed]

【伤害检定=2d6+1d4+2=6+6+1+2=15点，算了，你开了也不是一天两天的事情了】

Unfortunately, once out of stealth, the enemy can now dodge and counter melee weapons normally. But sadly, it didn't work!

The evasion stats of this group are all based on their initial agility value!

Once again, Bai Xi killed a guard, leaving only the last guard who had just turned around. He turned back, paused instinctively, and then raised his gun.

Pull the trigger! Just pull the trigger...

However, a hand gripped the barrel of the gun.

"At such a close distance, are you driving your mother's car?"

Bai Xi greeted him in a friendly manner, then grabbed the barrel of the gun and tried to pry it open with her wrist.

But the guard's face showed determination. He gritted his teeth, suddenly loosened his grip on the gun, and threw a punch at Bai Xi.

Bai Xi only lost his balance for a moment before leaping up again for one last jump strike!

However, to his surprise, the guard did not dodge at all, and the punch still came straight for his face!

[Jump Slash Check = 75/80, Success, Critical Hit]

[Brawling check score = 45/70, successful]

In an instant, the blade and the fist crossed paths and both struck.

【跳劈伤害=2d6+2d4+2=3+6+2+2+2=15点】

His head flew off, decapitating him once again, but the force of that punch still landed squarely on Bai Xi's face.

He felt his vision go black, and his mind went blank for a moment. He struggled to lift his head and look at the injury.

【斗殴伤害=1d4+1d3=4+3=7，剩余 HP2/9】

[Single hit takes more than half of your health! Critically injured! Physical fitness check required!]

Fuck you!

Bai Xi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face covered in blood, feeling the deep malice of this world.

One careless punch almost knocked me out! That's why squishy assassins are so hard to play!

But I only have a constitution of 35. How am I supposed to recover from this serious injury and fainting? If I faint here, I'll be completely ruined!

I finally managed to kill them all!

Physical fitness test score: 5/35, a great success!

【? 】

Seeing his sure-fire hopes dashed, KP let out a humiliating scream.

[Holy crap, you actually activated it? So you're not unconscious yet and retain some mobility, but you must undergo another check after a certain number of actions.]

"Is this all the effect you've given me after my huge success?!"

"How about I let you skip the test and then incapacitate you?"

Although it was a great success, it was only a slightly great success at point 5, not point 1.

"Let's leave it at that, it's fine this way."

Faced with this vengeful dog of a KP, Bai Xi chose to back down first, struggling to get up despite the toothache.

Feeling dizzy, Bai Xi looked at the basement door in front of her and pulled the key from her waist.

Stoffey couldn't be relied upon. The plan was that after firing that shot, he would leave immediately to proceed with the next step of the plan, just to be on the safe side.

According to the plan, Bai Xi will not have anything to do next. The only thing she needs to do is hide herself and not let anyone see her.

Or rather, now is the time for him to go into the basement.

Based on his memory, Bai Xi inserted the key into the wall, gritted his teeth, pushed open the hidden door to the basement, pulled out the key, and limped inside.

Blood streamed down his face and dripped onto the ground.

The door closed, and everything became dark. Bai Xi struggled to lift her head and looked towards the basement door.

Can I still get there?

He struggled forward, feeling his mind growing increasingly muddled and on the verge of collapse.

[Physical fitness test score: 28/35, successful]

Well then, let's keep moving forward.

Bai Xi remembered his plan and the things he needed to tell Alice, so he mustered his spirits and continued forward.

I can't give up here yet; at the very least, I have to find Alice.

At the very least, I still have to fulfill the last promise I made.

One step, two steps, across the long staircase, and they arrived at the door to the basement, where blood was everywhere.

Bai Xi pressed her hand on the doorknob, her body weight pressing down, her pale face, already pale from blood loss, now stained red with congealed blood.

Then, he pushed open the door.

Physical fitness test score: 44/35, failed.

Unable to withstand the severity of her injuries any longer, Bai Xi opened her mouth and, with her last vestiges of consciousness, softly called out:

"Alice..."

As he was being called out, Bai Xi suddenly lost his balance, fell forward, and crashed to the ground.

In a daze, he heard a panicked cry, followed by the feeling of his own body rubbing against the ground and the rustling sound it made.

He closed his eyes and completely lost consciousness.
