Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 147 Don't Try to Escape

"Help me up and take me away."

The terrifying voice echoed in the minds of the wandering mage and Moriarty, rendering them unable to move.

The next second, they felt their bodies move out of control and walk toward each other on their own.

The two tried to break free, but to no avail.

"Don't even think about escaping. A lot of strange monsters have come to the vicinity because of my blood and energy."

Li Kuang's voice echoed in their minds again: "If you try to escape alone now, you'll only get eaten. If you don't want to die, come and help me."

The wandering mage and Moriarty exchanged a glance, their hearts trembling as they approached Li Kuang.

"Sir, where should I help myself?"

"————"

Moriarty glanced at the wandering mage.

Is this the time to joke?

Is this another terrifying demigod joke?

Don't be fooled by his blood-soaked appearance and seemingly dying state; killing them would be a matter of a single thought for him.

The two of them, one on each side, held onto Li Kuang's arms and walked away into the distance.

After moving only a short distance, part of Li Kuang's body split open, dripping with blood, a truly horrifying sight.

A moment later, guided by Li Kuang, the three arrived at a building.

A bizarre demigod of Sequence 4 resides here.

Upon seeing the blood-soaked Li Kuang, it charged out and then exploded amidst the horrified expressions of the wandering mage and Moriarty, leaving only a beautiful tri-colored crystal core behind.

"This crystal core is for you."

Li Kuang said, "I need to recover here. You are responsible for keeping watch and dealing with those low-level strange monsters."

"Yes."

Moriarty bowed. "Well, Your Excellency, may we be so bold as to ask who injured you? In case the other party shows up, we can prepare in advance."

Li Kuang glanced at Moriarty and said, "Two people wearing witch robes, one with white hair and the other with pink hair."

?

Moriarty and the wandering mage were both startled.

It was them?

They all knew that these two witches were strange, but they didn't realize they were this outrageous.

From this perspective, the cook's death was not unjust at all.

"Do you know these two witches?"

Li Kuang noticed the change in their expressions and asked.

"Know."

Moriarty said, "They were players who came to Linus with us. They never wanted to team up with us from the beginning, and they knew a lot about the rules of Linus, but they never said anything. They didn't care whether we lived or died."

Li Kuang sneered inwardly.

At this level, who cares about the opinions of a bunch of ants?

As for Linus's rules, they have very few constraints on people at their level. Even if they know many of the rules, they simply ignore them, let alone share them.

These two Sequence 5 ants are truly laughable.

However, seeing their attitudes, Li Kuang was certain of one thing: Moriarty and the Wandering Mage were hostile towards Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi. This was perfect for him to use, and he didn't have to worry about being betrayed.

"Alright, you guys go and keep watch."

Li Kuang began to draw upon the dark energy floating in the air to heal his wounds.

The more he repaired it, the more alarmed he became.

The old wound had just healed when the new one burst open.

"Who exactly are they?"

Li Kuang continued the repairs.

Boom boom boom!

Lynas is especially lively today.

Except for the direction where the Tower of Oblivion is located, almost every tower experienced a massive explosion.

This means that players with Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 have started attacking the tower.

As a demigod, he doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve; his main strategy is brute force demolition.

The battle in the Tower of Madness came suddenly, but it ended just as quickly.

One demigod player died at the scene.

The other person escaped successfully.

The battle at the Tower of Betrayal was unexpected.

The tower master, Shadow Assassin, was killed by a Sequence 1 demigod player, who then seized the tower's divine status.

"That's interesting."

Ning Yi looked at the incomplete divine spark in his hand, which was gleaming with a faint light, and put it away without absorbing it.

Although directly absorbing it would greatly increase his strength, even allowing him to reach the realm of a quasi-god, he refrained from doing so.

The battle at the Tower of Pain did not last long.

Upon seeing the demigod player charging towards him, the Painful Artist actually gave away his divine essence.

-

"Your pain is greater than mine; you win."

"Yeah?"

Ke Shijie grasped the divine essence he had obtained and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, his aura surged, becoming even more terrifying and powerful.

The Painful Artist simply vanishes into darkness when the opponent breaks through.

"Guess who I am?"

A cheerful sound emanated from the Tower of Deception.

Rory Finch, wielding a greatsword, unleashed a whirlwind attack, smashing everything around him to pieces.

"abnormal!"

"I'll give you the divine title, I'm not playing with you anymore—"

A strange, cute voice came from the void.

Rory Finch snorted and caught the flying divine spark.

"A war for gods, is that all?"

He looked at the divine spark, pondered for three seconds, and then swallowed it as well.

The Tower of Despair.

The two demigods charged in as if they were in an empty field, encountering no resistance whatsoever.

They successfully found a fragment of a divine essence on the fifth underground level of the tower.

"Strange, where is the eerie demigod who guards the Tower of Despair?"

"have no idea."

The two checked the Tower of Despair again and quickly retreated.

The atmosphere inside the Tower of Despair was too strange, making them feel uncomfortable.

In any case, the divine status has already been obtained here, and there is no point in staying any longer.

After everyone left, the Tower of Despair remained completely calm.

The Lord of Despair lies in the graveyard outside the tower.

It is fully aware of what is happening outside.

What are mere players compared to the two princes of Linus?

Finally, only the Tower of Desire remained untouched by battle.

Even so, explosions continued to occur throughout the massive city of Linus, as if it were in danger of being completely destroyed at any moment.

Originally, this battle had nothing to do with Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi.

After all, the glass in the Nightmare Hotel has excellent sound insulation.

However, they were completely unable to withstand the earth-shaking tremors caused by the aftershocks of the battle.

Sometimes, Su Xiaoshuang would be about to eat something in the hotel cafeteria when a sudden earthquake would cause dust and debris to fall onto her food.

Sometimes, when she drew a magic circle on paper to test something, a sudden earthquake would shake the ground, causing the magic circle to veer off course.

Once or twice is one thing, but this happened far too frequently.

Su Xiaoshuang is angry.

-

She came downstairs, wondering whether she should go out and take a look.

But as he reached the entrance, he thought about how the players who had come this time were all aiming for godhood—extremely powerful and extremely dangerous.

Most importantly, they are all living people.

Scared~

"Are you going out to take a look?"

Feng Xiaoshi arrived at some unknown time and asked Su Xiaoshuang, who was standing at the door.

"Um----"

Su Xiaoshuang answered subconsciously.

She actually wanted to say no, but she answered too quickly.

Let's go together.

Feng Xiaoshi thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

The outside is in complete chaos; it would be a shame not to go and see it.

She can take this opportunity to acquire more magical materials.

Most importantly————

She had to prevent Su Xiaoshuang from making a move to avoid Linus being completely destroyed.

The game can be completed while AFK, and there's still a day and a night left.

Feng Xiaoshi had never felt that a bizarre game lasting three days would be so long, especially since it could be completed by simply leaving the game running.

"Would the two distinguished guests like to go out?"

The square-haired manager walked over and said, "The hotel will arrange a limousine for the VIPs."

"it is good."

Feng Xiaoshi said.

Soon, the familiar flying car appeared outside the hotel.

Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi entered the flying car.

"Distinguished guests, old Jack is at your service."

Old Jack smiled and asked, "Where are you two honored guests headed?"

Su Xiaoshuang glanced at Old Jack, sensing that the old driver's voice was trembling.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. A group of demigods are fighting in Linus, vying for godhood and striving to become gods. The city is on the verge of destruction at any moment, so it's normal for old Jack to be afraid.

Even she is afraid.

She was afraid that some demigod might suddenly appear in front of her again.

Socially anxious people really can't handle this kind of overly outgoing person.

Not to mention that the other party could attack at any time.

"Let's go somewhere remote, somewhere high up, somewhere where we can see the battlefield," Su Xiaoshuang said to Yan.

"It's okay to get a little closer to the battlefield," Feng Xiaoshi said to Yan.

"Okay."

Old Jack immediately drove off into the night sky.

A moment later, the flying car arrived at a secluded high point, from which one could overlook most of the Linus landscape.

"Distinguished guests, you have arrived!"

Old Jack's flying car came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.

"Um."

Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi stepped out of the flying car.

"Distinguished guests, I shall take my leave now," Old Jack said to Yan. "Please feel free to contact me if anything comes up later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Jack drove his flying car and vanished into the night sky.

?

Standing atop the high-rise, Su Xiaoshuang gazed at the beautiful Linus under the night sky and pondered an extremely serious question.

So far, she has not learned any flying magic.

Even basic flying magic.

What should I do if I fall in a place like this?

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoshuang lowered her witch hat slightly to cover her expression.

Su Xiaoshuang was quickly thinking through all the magic she had learned so far.

Let's see if there's anything that can help in this emergency.

Basic spatial magic?

This works with regular teleportation magic.

The Floating Technique allows one to float slowly downwards, and it can also be used.

That is to say, no matter which one it is, you must control the time well, otherwise by the time you use it, the person will have already fallen to the ground.

Falling from such a height, even with a magical shield, wouldn't necessarily result in being smashed to pieces, but it could still hurt a lot.

He might fall to his death.

Scared~

Should we go down first?

Su Xiaoshuang was thinking about this question.

At that moment, her gaze swept across the room and she saw two familiar faces: Moriarty and the wandering sorcerer.

I never expected these two to still be alive.

However, according to Linus's rules, if they can't gather 1000 Fear Crystals to exchange for tickets and leave, they will probably be stuck here forever.

Huh?

Su Xiaoshuang noticed Moriarty looking in their direction and they exchanged a glance.

The next second, Moriarty lowered his head and hurriedly disappeared into the darkness.

This reaction surprised Su Xiaoshuang even more. Aren't players afraid of encountering troublesome and eerie monsters if they actually went into the darkness?

"What did you see?" Feng Xiaoshi asked Yan, noticing her.

"Moriarty."

Su Xiaoshuang said about Yan, "Just now, he stood over there, glanced at us, and then went into the darkness, as if he had deliberately come over to look at us."

"Did you come here specifically to see this?"

Feng Xiaoshi blinked, her magical perception rapidly expanding.

In an instant, it covered the area where Li Kuang was hiding.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"There's someone I know there."

"Your Mightiness----"

Moriarty rushed back from outside, "Gong, I just saw the gray-haired witch and the pink-haired witch!"

"What?!"

Li Kuang opened his eyes.

The wounds on my body that had just begun to heal had reopened.

This is because they were frightened.

"Are Nan Yan and the others looking for me?"

Thinking about what happened at the Nightmare Hotel, Li Kuang's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

Those two witches are so wicked; they actually want to kill everyone.

We must escape from here.

If they come after us, things will get even more complicated.

【etc----】

They only saw Moriarty, not me, which means I haven't been exposed yet.

Li Kuangxi quickly calmed himself down and said to Yan, "You two hide first, and don't let them notice you."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Moriarty said the goose.

He left immediately to find the wandering monk.

This might be a chance to get rid of this Sequence 1 demigod.

Tell him directly that if he continues to stay by Li Kuang's side, he will die an unexplained death sooner or later.

After taking only a few steps, Moriarty heard Li Kuang's voice in his mind: "Don't try to run away. Linus City is only so big. Do you think you can escape the pursuit of a quasi-god?"

"It is you, sir!"

Moriarty immediately stopped and bowed in the direction of Cai Likuang to show his loyalty.

[A pseudo-god?]

Do you think I believe that?

Moriarty remained expressionless, his heart barely skipped a beat, and continued to hide as before.

Are there some things that need to be done afterward?

It's completely unnecessary.

"Wandering mage, how are you doing with what I asked you to do?" Moriarty said.

"This is your share."

The wandering monk tossed him a cloth bag.

The bag was full of Fear Crystals, almost enough to reach 1000 points.

"Still a little bit missing."

Moriarty collected all the Fear Crystals, a regretful look on his face. "Without enough Fear Crystals, we can't complete the game."

"No rush. By staying with this quasi-god level expert, we'll definitely be able to collect enough Fear Crystals," the wandering mage said with a smile. "At least we have a chance to leave alive. We don't have many freedom points left."

"Yes, there's hope."

Moriarty said to the goose, "By the way, I just saw the gray-haired witch and the pink-haired witch. They saw me."

"this----"

The wandering monk's eyes widened, and he looked terrified.

"Don't panic."

Moriarty said to the goose, "The cook was the one who had a grudge against the gray-haired witch and the pink-haired witch. The cook is dead, so they won't lay a hand on us."

"Yes, I hope so."

The wandering mage maintained his fearful expression: "Let's go look over there; maybe we can collect some Fear Crystals."

"it is good."

Moriarty nodded.

It should be alright now.

After listening to what Moriarty and the wandering mage had to say, Li Kuang breathed a sigh of relief.

He's not afraid of anything now, except for the pink-haired witch and the gray-haired witch coming after him, in which case he'd really be killed.

The next second, Li Kuang shuddered, remembering his threat to Moriarty: "Don't try to run away. Linus City isn't that big. Do you think you can escape the pursuit of a quasi-god?"

This statement also applies to him.

Linus is only so big, can he really escape the pursuit of the gray-haired witch and the pink-haired witch?

Moreover, the two witches have already noticed Moriarty.

Then, if they just glance at this spot, they'll discover him hiding here—
