: Hehe, who knows, that guy calls himself a detective, but actually he doesn’t have any real ability. It’s not shameful for our Xiaoyou to be turned into a mask. There were many guys who didn’t know their own abilities before. Look, they all turned into masks next to Xiaoyou, together with that guy called detective.

How is this possible...

Countless fans of the detective looked a little gloomy at this moment, and their hearts were wavering. Just now, they thought that the detective could really defeat this legendary puppeteer...

Such a huge gap made fans feel depressed.

The detective took the initiative to challenge the Thousand Faces Ghost Smile. Soon after the game started, he found the opponent's barrier and used various means to lead the Thousand Faces Ghost Smile into the giant sand pit trap he had set up. The usually taciturn young man appeared and disappeared in the sand like a ghost, and every time he attacked, he could cause certain injuries to the Thousand Faces Ghost Smile.

Just as the detective was about to drag the Thousand Faces Ghost into an endless protracted battle, the guy put on a mask. His whole demeanor changed drastically, and his movements became several times faster than before. The battle ended with the screen shaking, and the scene just now happened.

As the dust cleared, the commentator came back to his senses and shouted excitedly, "It was Thousand-Faced Ghost Laugh who eliminated the detective! The first star player to be eliminated from the leaderboard has appeared!"

The comments were overwhelming, and Tang Wan'er, who was always smiling politely beside the commentator, suddenly spoke:

"Correction, the detective has not been eliminated, he is just trapped and becomes Xiaoyou's mask. Only when Xiaoyou refines the soul in the mask into a puppet, the person in the mask will die."

"Xiaoyou has two abilities. One is that he can put on the personality mask of a player and directly use some of that player's abilities."

"The second is to refine the soul in the personality mask into a puppet and control it for use."

"And the people who were turned into puppets by Xiaoyou were always the players who violated the rules."

"Is that so? It seems that Miss Bai Ling'er is very familiar with the ability of the Thousand Faces Ghost Smile?"

"It's not that we're familiar with each other. The previous star contestants all had some interactions with each other privately."

Some players also pointed out that the detective’s avatar has not dimmed, which means that he has not been eliminated yet.

This made some fans who were worried about the detective's safety feel a little relieved.

Apart from this scene in Group C, far away in Group B, in the singer’s live broadcast room, hundreds of thousands of people were in high spirits, and barrages of comments were floating by like crazy.

In the ballroom, the lights of the cups flickered as a blonde girl shuttled among the cluttered tables and chairs, her movements as agile as a cat moving through the woods.

In the center of the ballroom, a ray of light shone in from under the rose-red glass above, illuminating the young man's face that had charmed thousands of girls. The bright red wine in the glass swayed slightly, and his indifferent eyes swept across the empty ballroom, his tone calm and natural:

"It is an honor for me to be the first target, Miss Vanessa."

The singer did not turn around when he heard the sound of breaking wind behind him. He only saw a shotgun pointed at the back of his head. The coldness from the muzzle attacked his body like a poisonous snake, but the young man just sipped the wine in the glass calmly.

"Of course, if I can get rid of the third-ranked star in the All-Star Ranking, I will be famous, huh?" Wen Xiaotong smiled slyly.

"It seems that Miss Wen doesn't know that she is actually quite famous. She is the master behind District 13. You have temperament, beauty, courage, not to mention your lofty and vague sense of distance. Many rich kids regard you as their dream lover."

"If you are willing to give me a chance to care for you, I will be serious."

Wen Xiaotong clicked his tongue: "Not to be famous among assholes like you."

As he spoke, Wen Xiaotong pulled the trigger, and the violent shotgun bullet instantly blew half of the young man's body into pieces.

The 'singer' just smiled and turned his head, with the remaining half of his body raising the wine glass and shaking it slightly towards the girl. His flawless white dress was stained with blood, exuding an elegance called 'madness'.

The next moment, countless blue and dreamy bubbles gushed out from the young man in front of him, and the singer's face quickly became distorted and ugly, and his luxurious clothes faded away in the bubbles and became tattered.

As he fell, Wen Xiaotong saw clearly what this guy looked like.

This was a disfigured guy, wearing a night suit, with his fingerprints all worn off, so it was impossible to identify this person from his external features.

Only some organizations that engage in bloody crimes would treat their members in this way.

This is an offender who sneaked into the competition!

Wen Xiaotong frowned slightly, but heard the young man's pleasant and gentle voice coming from the second floor again.

"A violator who passed all the tests, signed up for this competition, and tried to attack me before you did, Miss Wen, do you have any idea about this?"

The singer walked out slowly from the darkness with a gentle look. Her white dress was spotless. Her leather white gloves gently stroked the dust on the railing. After drinking the wine in the glass, she leaned against the railing, holding her cheek with her hand, and looked at Wen Xiaotong below with interest.

The young man's eyes were quietly curved, and the teardrop mole that was enough to confuse everyone highlighted the stunning curve of his mouth.

"If you try to seduce me with any props again, I swear I will add you to the blacklist of District 13. I will freeze your platinum card that allows you to pay unlimited amounts at major nightclubs. How about that?" Wen Xiaotong said calmly.

Suddenly, the girl smiled playfully:

"Do you think I don't know? You spent almost all the money you made in the East Asia Special Zone on the girls around you. The nightclub under your name was also pledged to the bank in District 13. In your daily life, you would hesitate again and again for a piece of expensive bread. You are actually not as exquisite as you look, huh?"

"I'm really curious. You're in such a state yourself. You spend money on those girls without blinking an eye. You're even capable of such stupid things as buying the entire Pearl Tower for 24 hours just to celebrate someone's birthday."

The singer's expression was slightly moved, and he frantically signaled the director to cut the camera.

Due to the delay in the live broadcast, this explosive information was cut off before it could be presented to the audience.

The rumored gigolo, the third-ranked superstar on the All-Stars list, who gives everything for the girls, has such a miserable private life that if word gets out, it will be enough to shock the entire Mirror City!

After confirming that the camera had been cut away, the singer put down his burden and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, please calm down first, Miss Wen!"

Chapter 457: "Predatory Barrier" White Knight (Wow, my hands are too cold to code anymore)

"Are you afraid that the audience will know that you have no money? Are you reluctant to give up the luxurious packaging? Or are you afraid that your status will plummet without the packaging, and you will have to sleep on the street as a legendary gigolo?" Wen Xiaotong said sarcastically.

The singer just shook his head slightly:

"My packaging is just for girls to see. I just like spending money on girls, like seeing their heartfelt smiles after receiving gifts, and like girls giving me little surprises because of my thoughts."

"I'm just afraid that after the packaging is torn off, those girls will not want me to spend money on them anymore and will feel uncomfortable being with me."

"Miss Wen, are you a gambler?" the singer suddenly said.

Wen Xiaotong became a little interested. She held onto a long table and looked at the young man, as if she was curious about what kind of bet the other party would propose.

"If you don't believe me, would you like to make a bet? Not only will those girls not leave me after my packaging is torn off, but they will become even more crazy about me and will do everything for me."

"How dare you say such a scumbag and irresponsible thing? You are the only scumbag and innocent person I have ever seen."

"There is only one bet, and that is that I hope Miss Wen Xiaotong can spare a day to accompany me so that I can understand your heart. I am very interested in girls like you."

Wen Xiaotong snorted coldly and said in a malicious voice:

"What if you lose? How about taking off all your clothes, running around the street, and then finding a manhole cover and crawling in shamefully?"

"I won't lose this bet." The singer smiled.

Wen Xiaotong narrowed her eyes slightly, as if trying to see something from the other person's confident face, and finally spread her hands:

"What a coincidence. I won't make a bet that I have no chance of winning, even though I really want to see that scene."

"Let's get back to the topic just now." Wen Xiaotong said.

There was a glimmer of disappointment in the singer's eyes.

He didn't lie.

He was indeed very interested in the girl in front of him, but he himself was not sure whether this interest was the same as in the girls he had met before, so he was very curious and wanted to try to understand the other person's heart more deeply.

But the other person's heart is tightly closed and not open to anyone.

"You can't be suspecting me of bringing in illegal players."

"No, it seems that the illegal players have mastered the method of hiding the red ID. When a termite appeared in the wooden house, it means that the back of the house has been eaten away long ago. There are more than one illegal players who sneaked in."

"Just a reminder for you to be careful, Miss Wen," the singer said, and then he thought of something.

He looked into the girl's eyes very seriously and spoke in a tentative tone:

"Oh, by the way, there is a player named Detective in Group C who was turned into a mask by the Thousand-Faced Ghost Laugh. He is the first star player to be eliminated. I wonder if Miss Wen knows about this?"

That idiot?

Wen Xiaotong's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. This change was still caught by the singer.

"So it has something to do with me? You have a big heart to talk so much with someone who wants to get rid of you."

As Wen Xiaotong spoke, he suddenly leaped up like a rabbit, and a dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing straight into the singer's chest.

"Of course... It's okay. See you later." The singer calmly turned around and looked at the girl who stabbed him, and slowly stretched out his hand in the direction of the girl. "Next time we meet, you will promise me, I promise."

In the instant before the dagger touched the singer, the young man turned into countless blue bubbles and dissipated in the air, leaving only a bright red rose pierced by the dagger...

Wen Xiaotong was silent for a moment as she looked at the rose that still retained its warmth and scent of men's perfume. She put it aside and contacted the detective.

As expected, a tone indicating that the call could not be connected was heard.

"Tsk..."

"You must have lost miserably. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Go to hell, idiot."

..........

..........

Everything is silent, not a blade of grass grows, and it is extremely desolate. This is a no-man's land recognized by the remnants of the Federation. Strong winds are howling across the desert Gobi, and the raised dust is dancing in the air. The visibility is only a few meters.

A shadow that blocked out the sun and sky fell from above, covering this desolate land.

There is no doubt that when it comes to modification points of "Barrier", Li Anxin ranks first.

With a modification score of 990,000 points, which was 989,000 points ahead of the second place, some players once suspected whether she had really used some kind of cheating method. However, after reporting it to the organizer to no avail, the players in Group A began to doubt their lives.

I was autistic but also curious, wanting to see with my own eyes what the 990,000-point barrier looked like.

In a cabin somewhere on the battleship, a strange-looking monster kept roaring and swinging its sharp claws forward.

The monster was covered in scales and had a shell on its back. It looked somewhat similar to an armadillo, but its limbs were particularly slender, with sharp bones growing out of the cracks. Its sharp claws could easily cut through the alloy walls inside the battleship.

Li Anxin was very clear about the defensive capabilities of his warship. Even the inner cabin would require a full-strength attack from an A-level player to cause damage.

But the aura of this creature was only B-level, which made Li Anxin curious about the material of its claws.

No one knows when this creature sneaked into the warship. If the brain worm Xiaowu hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

At this moment, a Ripper wearing White Bee Scout Armor came to Li Anxin's side:

"Your Majesty, the research and development of new battle armor seems to have encountered some obstacles."

Li Anxin was a little surprised.

She thought it would be easy to buy the armor and fully analyze its technology using the cutting-edge technology on the Zerg warships, but errors have occurred repeatedly since the beginning of the cracking.

The replica armor either cannot move, cannot attack, does not obey the driver's instructions, or even disintegrates directly.

"This is the only armor with normal basic functions. Please take a look, Queen."

As he spoke, a battle armor slowly walked out from behind him. It was dressed in white and gold, and unlike the White Bee Scout that was filled with flesh and blood, it looked noble and elegant. The shape of the mecha was based on the knight armor of medieval Europe. Misty blue light shone through the gaps in the knight's helmet, and it even had a hazy sacredness when viewed from a distance. It stood there holding a spear, like a work of art.

This is the first armor she designed for Xiaolu.

——White Knight.

It is a nimble forward-type armor, and the values ​​calculated by the brain worms perfectly match the attributes of the deer. Only the deer can exert its full strength when using this armor.

Before the disemboweler could finish his words, Li Anxin said excitedly:

"Then let's test the defensive attributes!"

As she spoke, she signaled the Ripper controlled by the Brainworm Xiaowu to let go of the monster.

Under the monster's angry blow, the White Knight fell apart on the spot, turning into pieces all over the sky and scattered everywhere in front of the pink-haired ball with black lines on his face.

"Only the basic functions are normal, Your Majesty." The Ripper added weakly.

Chapter 458: "Predatory Barrier" Princess and Knight

"Roar--!"

The monster roared and pounced towards Li Anxin, but was suddenly grabbed by the neck by a pair of mechanical hands and pressed against the wall with a bang.

"Roar! Roar... Roar! Roar!"

The White Bee Scout controlled the monster with one hand, and the monster kept roaring and waving its claws towards Li Anxin, with its scarlet eyes revealing a desire to tear the girl to pieces.

"What exactly went wrong?" asked Li Anxin.

"Your Majesty, it's the core matrix group. It can be understood as the CPU. It is responsible for translating the actions of the pilot in the cockpit to the mecha through programming and allowing it to act. At the same time, it also takes into account the issues of regulating the power output and energy compatibility of the mecha... It's better to say that it is the 'brain' of the mecha. Almost everything about the armor cannot bypass this small core."

"Ok?"

"We thought that we could buy the human armor and use the technology of the hive to forcibly crack it, but we found that the person who designed this armor is an absolute 'genius'."
