Chapter 27: Desire to Kill (4K)

Daylight has fallen, and Yaduo Town has begun another "peaceful" day.

Logically speaking, players who are outsiders during this period will have nowhere to hide and will be discovered by the enthusiastic residents no matter where they go.

In the past, you could just ignore them, and after a few unsuccessful attempts to talk to them, the townspeople would lose their enthusiasm and forget about your existence. But now that the church has conveyed a clear message, it’s not so easy to get away.

But just like the fight against armored bombs, players who still dare to stay in the town now have the ability to hide.

A dog ran wildly on the street, and even if it hit a passerby, there would only be a scream. The residents of the town could see it, but they did nothing extra.

A stranger, a stranger, at least he should be a human being. Although this dog is strange, isn’t it still a dog?

In full view of everyone, the sheepdog ran into the alley, came to a less crowded place, and stopped in front of a trash can.

"They are divided into two groups. One group is resisting in the cemetery. The church is serious about it." The shepherd dog spoke in human language.

Not long after, a transparent hand grew out of the trash can and silently wrote on the ground: "Hmm, I smell the scent of the barrier, hiding all the noises of the battle last night."

"It does look like a barrier, which is why I didn't go too deep into the cemetery last night."

"That's because you're afraid of death." Black Sword pointed it out without hesitation, and then wrote: "What about the second group?"

"Back in town, I smell the scent of Li Dan."

"It can't be him, otherwise how could he have hidden from the townspeople this morning?" Black Sword didn't believe it at all, and said hesitantly, "He's probably one of the 'undercovers' who wants to disrupt the church so that they can't come out in full force."

Pan Zi nodded his head, he also agreed with this view, but the two of them were helpless and could not do much.

They are also the targets of the church's search. Pan Zi suffered heavy losses and can no longer cover the entire battlefield. Black Sword can only use props to disguise himself as a trash can and dares not even show his head.

In order to gain the trust of the church, one must be baptized, but if one is willing to participate, it is not that difficult.

"It doesn't matter. There are only six hours left in the plot. You and I can hide safely, but they will have to face the revenge of Yaduo Town. Staying in the dark is an advantage." Black Sword was very rational. The game had entered the final stage, and he was not at a disadvantage.

"It's not that easy to get through the dungeon. Just wait, they will definitely fight back." Black Sword paused for a moment before writing the last few words:

“When the time comes, we will be the last straw.”

......

In the cemetery, Yuki was sitting on a broken tombstone, leaning on his sword with both hands, surrounded by densely packed corpses.

The windbreaker had long been stained with blood. The barrier was opened by the Phantom Thief last night, and Yuki was waiting inside.

Kill one if you come one, kill a pair if you come a pair, the soil is soaked with blood, and the core area on the top of the mountain is littered with corpses.

He would let the search team in to kill them, and once he started, no one would be left alive. The residents of Yaduo Town were not ordinary people who were powerless, and the continuous fighting left Yuki covered in wounds.

However, he was extremely excited. The souls of nearly two hundred people completely stabilized the Demon Heart at a 'normal' level. Instead, he killed more and more vigorously. In the end, only corpses were left on the ground.

"As I expected, the church's hostility is directed at all players, and those two also discovered this."

The blood-red figure muttered to himself. What Yuki was most afraid of last night was that two players would suddenly attack and disrupt the rhythm of the killing. However, except for Yue Gong who was hiding on the periphery and shooting a fierce dog, the players did not show up.

It's not that they are unwilling, but that they can't. Once the two of them appear, they will help Yuki share the firepower. If they are entangled, it will be difficult to escape and they can only fight to the death.

To put it bluntly, it is the deterrence caused by the single kill of the clown. Only by being strong can the enemy calm down and think carefully, and choose a more stable combat plan.

"Once you start thinking, you've already lost." Yuki is not afraid of the old scheming guy. He is best at making plans. Can anyone be more scheming than himself?

With a slight grin on his lips, Yuki looked up and saw a girl who also looked a little embarrassed appear at the edge of the cemetery. She looked at the corpses all over the ground, not knowing where to start.

Yue Gong picked up heads all night, but he was very tired. In addition to moving the corpses away between each round, he occasionally failed due to fatigue and had to rush down to fight.

The most dangerous time was when two townspeople rushed out of the barrier with their fingers on the trigger of the shotgun, but she stabbed them to death from behind.

This round of warfare did not stop until dawn, when the church discovered that there were major problems with the cemetery and quickly called a halt to this tactic of adding fuel to the fire, giving the cemetery an hour or two to catch its breath.

I'm almost too tired to draw the bow.

The girl tried her best to keep her breathing steady so as not to look so tired, but her forearms were so sore and swollen that it was difficult for her to lift them.

"He, on the other hand, is like a devil." Yue Gong looked forward, no longer shocked, only numb.

Nearly two hundred corpses were piled up in an area of ​​several hundred square meters, and the butcher was sitting in the middle, waving at him.

Instinctively, he didn't want to go over, but after a moment's hesitation, he took a step forward, like a ballet dancer, finding the gap between the corpses and walking over.

The closer we got through the thick fog, the clearer it became. We saw a blood-red figure sitting in the middle of a sea of ​​corpses and blood, with a creepy smile on his face.

"You look..." Yue Gong looked him up and down and said coldly, "You really look like a perverted murderer."

"I admit that I am a murderer, but please don't use the word 'pervert' on me. I have always been calm and I don't feel pleasure from killing. I only pursue efficiency."

"It sounds even more perverted."

Yuki was stunned, as if he tasted something perverted. He licked his lips and slowly stood up.

"What are you going to do?" The girl was also stunned. Could it be that she was angry because of shame?

This was indeed a bit scary, and the sight of corpses all over the ground made it even more convincing. She instinctively stepped back.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No, not afraid."

"Then why are you backing off?"

"Well, because you stink and are covered in blood." The girl rolled her eyes and replied with her head held high.

Haha, you were not afraid of the smell when you stepped into this pile of corpses. Well, from a physiological point of view, you are already an old player. You can do it in just one copy.

Being disliked, Yuki simply stopped and took a good look at the other person.

Her appearance could not be seen clearly, and her figure was even more ordinary, but her tights were cut open, revealing skin as white as jade, which formed a sharp contrast with the black tights.

Tsk, how come I have become a pervert?

Yuki suddenly became alert, looked away, and laughed quietly.

"What are you laughing at?" asked the girl, who was already feeling creepy from that look.

"I've told you many times, relax a little, laugh when you should laugh, and be afraid when you should be afraid. You are not as cold as you appear." Yuki moved his wrist, he had already seen it.

Whether it was her recognition of Rick, her request for her to save his life, or her rushing forward to fight just now, she was not a cold person.

Yue Yui was right. After a night of fighting, Yuki realized her worth and she completed the difficult task very well.

Do you and I know each other well? Well, we do.

The girl pursed her lips. She admitted that Yuki was an expert and was grateful for his help, which allowed her to survive until now.

"In dangerous games, everyone has to wear a mask and not reveal any weaknesses."

This sounded familiar, Yuuki shook his head in disapproval: "That's because you're not strong enough. The meaning of being strong is to stay true to yourself."

"You're acting differently and fooling others."

"That's just using other people's tools. If there is a more efficient way, I'm too lazy to act." Yuki carried the knife on his shoulder and said with emotion: "As you become stronger, the opportunities to act will become fewer and fewer, just like your helmet, sooner or later you will take it off."

Yue Gong was speechless. If she was as strong as Yuki, there would be no need for her to hide her head and show her tail, let alone use coldness as protection.

Those who need to be killed will be killed, and those who need to be solved will be solved.

She felt a bit of longing, as if the man could stand on a pile of corpses and teach her how to do things with a smile on his face, just like at this moment.

"Been taught a lesson."

Quite polite.

Yuki didn't know why he said all this, maybe it was because he was too free, or maybe it was because the seniors were not around and there was no one to chat with.

"Have you ever thought about what you're fighting for?"

"I want to protect someone." Yue Yui answered without hesitation, which surprised Yuki.

At her level, she should struggle desperately for survival, but humans are not animals after all, and there are many illusory pursuits based on "being alive".

In the eyes of absolute rationalists, this is a flaw, but it also supports people to move forward in the abyss of despair.

"Good reason, same as mine."

"Are you also trying to protect others?" The girl was shocked. This Li Dan looked like an executioner, and he still had people to protect?

"Why, is it not possible?" Yuki asked back sullenly, then came to his senses.

Because the person he wants to protect is not in this copy, he appears to be even colder and more decisive. If you put yourself in his shoes, it really doesn't seem like that.

"I'm not as scary as you think."

Yue Gong nodded instinctively. She had already sensed that there was no way a real executioner would chat with her. But she soon shook her head again, and even her voice became excited.

"Okay, you just said you wanted to show your true self, but it turns out you were just pretending."

"I'm not pretending." Yuki didn't expect the boomerang to hit back so quickly, and hesitated for a moment: "They're not here, maybe this is my true self?"

The slippery blood dripped, the temperature dissipated and turned cold, Yuki was a little dazed for a moment.

Could that bloodlust really be a side effect of being possessed by a demon? Dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers shouldn't put him in a negative state.

What a strange person, could he really have schizophrenia?

Seeing that Yuki stopped talking again, the girl was full of questions and subconsciously took a step forward. At this moment, she suddenly froze again.

I guess I'm really not afraid of him anymore?

When faced with schizophrenia, smart people will just stay away from it instead of stepping forward to show concern, and thus they become entangled again.

Trust or fear, follow your instincts, or play it safe?

At this time, the thief came quickly and happened to see the two people one meter apart, with a face full of question marks.

Are the two of them playing the statue game?

After being stunned for a moment, he coughed lightly to wake the two people up, and said urgently: "The people from the church are gathering at the foot of the mountain, go up the mountain quickly, and the leader is the purple-robed priest."

Business matters.

Yuki quickly put aside his previous doubts and looked at the other party. This guy didn't make a move all night, but he didn't seem to blame him.

The goal of the Phantom Thief is to survive the dungeon and be more like a bystander. This can also be considered a test. As it turns out, Yuuki really survived the night, and the carrot dangling in front of him is gradually becoming a reality.

"I'm sure the enemy will become weaker after killing the fanatics." Yuki answered directly without any nonsense.

"Well, they are indeed weaker than before. Although it was a sneak attack, I still killed several of them in hand-to-hand combat." Yue Gong also returned to normal. Her melee ability was very weak. Since she did it, it indirectly verified Yuki's statement.

After hearing this, the Phantom Thief also became interested: "The item still has an hour to cool down, do you still want to continue fighting?"

"No, this kind of 'weakness' has not reached a qualitative change. Even if you join the battle and the church attacks with all their strength, we will not be able to withstand it." Yuki shook his head decisively, not blinded by the results of the battle. "Besides, there is no benefit in a bloody battle. Black Sword and Pan Zi will jump out and take advantage of it."

Hearing this, the Phantom Thief's eyes were full of admiration. There are many powerful people, but those who are both powerful and cautious are rare.

"Still according to the original plan?"

"Well, according to the original plan, the closer we get to twelve o'clock, the greater our chances of winning. I got a surprise in the battle last night, so my chances are even better." Yuki stood up and began to take off his bloody shirt on the spot. As soon as he unbuttoned his chest, his hand was held down.

"Why rush? Change it after I leave."

It's too rude. How can he change clothes in front of a girl? He is definitely a pervert. It's better to stay away from him.

Seeing Yue Yumiko running away, Yuki couldn't help laughing and pointed at her retreating figure: "It seems that she still has some sense of shame."

"No matter how powerful and experienced they are, players are still human beings, just like you and I hate the church." The thief said something fair and also noticed some differences.

Yue Gong didn't dare to get close to him before, but just now he actually pressed his hand. Something must have happened between them.

With a hint of curiosity, he took the clothes thrown to him, raised his hand to take off the smiling mask, and ignored the interested look.

It is best for players not to reveal their true identities, but now they have to disguise themselves as small town residents and they can't keep wearing masks.

The boy is quite handsome, with dark brown curly hair and blue eyes that look a bit lazy, which fits the characteristics of a 'tantalizing' guy.

It was indeed him, Oreki Houtarou.

The interest in Yuki's eyes was fake. This boy was extremely smart, and if he found out that he 'knew' him, it would cause trouble.

This is the first "familiar" old player that Yuki has encountered, and his response method is also different. For example, for Shiina Hiyori, he has to use "acquaintance" to add pressure to make her obedient.

But as for Oreki Houtarou, he just observed silently and made sure that the other person's personality was not much different from the one in his mind. It couldn't be said that he completely trusted him, but it was better than a stranger.

No wonder he dared to go against the trend and directly enter the church. No wonder he offered help but was unwilling to give his all.

The answer was revealed, and Yuki was calm. No matter how Oreki Houtarou changed, he couldn't escape the word "energy saving". If he grasped this point, he could take advantage of it.

"Why don't you change?" Houtarou had changed by this time, and his expression became a little strange, "I always feel like you are hiding something from me."
