Chapter 27: I came late

Night light shines through stained glass, imprinting on Lin Ran's body.

"Daddy?" the girl's figure walks in a patch of shadow.

Lin Ran suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood, eyes locked on the girl: "Sorry for disturbing..."

In the moonlight, Lu Ming sees the girl named Xi; her eyes are pitch black, a hint of anger visible, her mouth and clothes soaked with bright red liquid.

Just one glance and you can see, things can.

Lin Ran wanted to hug her daughter, but the tentacles extending from behind Xi left her unable to move; the pain of her heart being pierced turned her face deathly pale.

Xi walked up, her face covered in blood, she revealed a genuine smile: "Dad, I'm hungry..."

"Then eat, eat if you're hungry." Lin Ran stroked the girl's head, her smile as kind as in the photo.

At that moment, Lu Ming heard the sound of liquid splashing, but it was definitely the girl's miserable scream; he immediately turned his head and saw a blood-red long sword straight into Xi's back, shaking her body, her black eyes seeming to be squeezed.

It hurts!

The tentacles retracted, looking toward the dark door behind; heavy, fast footsteps came from within.

In an instant, a figure flew, a flash of blood light, and severed Xi's arm.

"Ahhh!" Xi let out a piercing roar, leapt onto the roof, the tentacles behind her firmly embedded into the wall.

The attacking figure seemed unwilling to stop, a blood-red blade forming in its hand like flowing water.

Lin Xi obviously also sensed danger, controlling the tentacles to break the roof, but in an instant, the tentacles behind her were cleanly severed.

Fell from the roof, hit the ground hard, and fell silent.

Lu Ming thought something more troublesome had appeared, and immediately wanted to retract his shadow to avoid unnecessary blood loss.

"Lu Ming!" that sudden turn of the head, looking toward the pillar.

Player?

"Lin Jiu?" Lu Ming didn't show his head, holding a gun, maintaining vigilant distance; only those few could call his name, recalling the start of the game, Lin Jiu's those words, extremely...

But seeing the opponent's ability, Lu Ming remained wary, not fully trusting the opponent; one could say, he basically didn't trust anyone in the game.

"!"

Lin Jiu's appearance also changed, playing the role of an island traveler, because he was killed by an experimental subject, he was also brought to the lab for modification; from the start of the copy, he had seen Lu Ming, but because he was soaked in a container, he couldn't use his abilities, only waiting for Lin Ran to release all the experimental subjects before he could move.

Lin Jiu wore only a cloak, a pair of black eyes.

"Clearly said protection..." Lin Jiu raised his head, eyes flickering with fluorescence: "... this accident, because, because..."

Lu Ming felt somewhat helpless, had no intention of blaming the other party; moreover, he himself had no right to blame the family, seeing that the promise of protection was already beyond duty, beyond duty there's no need to overthink; do what you can, do what you can and leave it.

"It's fine as long as it's okay." Lu Ming said.

"Hmm." Lin Jiu nodded, his hand still seeping blood, noticing Lu Ming's gaze, Lin Jiu said: "Intent, only skill."

Lu Ming took the last bottle of healing medicine from the system backpack: "Pay attention a bit, losing more blood is also fine."

Lin Jiu's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, but he hadn't yet reached out to take it.

"Bring healing medicine."

He lied, because the copy was rushed, he didn't bring any items.

Lu Ming didn't withdraw his hand, the clear moonlight fell on his side profile.

"Okay... alright." Lin Jiu took the healing medicine.

Lu Ming noticed that Lin Ran beside him had crawled to Lin Xi's side, his body stopped trembling, his black clothes soaked in blood, appearing even darker.

【Main Plot: Endured for ten years, facing those with smiling faces but demonic residents behind, each with vengeful fury; clearly demons, yet each time diagnosing their condition, feeling nauseous.】

Finally, today stepping that step, completing his ideal rebirth.

【Main Progress: 97%】

"Daughter?" After a long while, Lu Ming said a sentence.

Lin Ran's gaze gradually became hazy, already at the edge of life.

Lu Ming gave a cold glance, then turned and left.

"... no matter what you become, forever my daughter..." Lin Ran's hoarse voice, as if using up the last bit of life.

Lu Ming stopped his steps, thought for a moment, took a photo from the system backpack, crouched, and placed the photo in Lin Ran's hand.

"Let's go." Lu Ming said to Lin Jiu.

Lin Ran's gaze shifted, looking at the photo in his hand; inside, his daughter Xi smiled innocently, holding a controller, her scattered gaze a sheet of tear light gradually dimming.

【Main Plot: At that moment, do you regret turning your daughter into a bloodthirsty monster?】

【Main Progress: 100%】

Just as the two left, the church burst into flames, firelight, Lin Ran still shielded his daughter…

The experimental subjects on the street remained in a state of stillness.

"How to break free from control?" Lu Ming asked.

Lin Jiu also clearly understood why he wasn't controlled, after thinking: "Probably because of the lab; that place should be affected."

Lu Ming nodded, didn't say anything else, and based on his main body's perception quickly found Mo Yan.

"Outside."

Yilin Ka's voice.

"Lu Ming?" Seeing Lu Ming slowly walking inside, beside him still an experimental subject wearing a cloak.

Yilin Ka was startled, but quickly reacted; the cloak in the Main God Space is each player's initial attire, basically a symbol of the player.

On the other side, that Lu Ming should be just a shadow.

"Fellow, he can still act alone, what skill is that?" Yilin Ka glanced at Lu Ming's main body.

Mo Yan slowly opened his eyes, having used little blue power, closed his eyes to rest: "Lu Ming, are you awake?"

"." Yilin Ka said helplessly: "Returned."

Suddenly a sound, the convenience store's door was violently pushed open from outside, Lin Jiu shook his hand: "The strength of the modified body is still pretty good."

Seeing the main body Lu Ming by the wall, and also looking at the shadow Lu Ming beside him.

"..."

Lu Ming thought of still not having told Lin Jiu his skill: "skill."

Lu Ming didn't say much, and wanted to fully state the skill; the shadow's second segment intends to restore its ability, only consumes, suitable for present use.

"Like..." Lin Jiu nodded: "The skill is pretty impressive, using a clone, but probably can only control one of them, right?"

"Hmm."
