Chapter 63: What can you gain by defecting to that guy?

~6 min read 1,148 words

"Shadow?"

At a crossroads littered with corpses, Mo Yan asked the girl facing him, while Jiesi sat on a bench to one side, also observing the girl.

"Hn." The girl glanced at Mo Yan; the signal flare in her hand still gave off white smoke.

Jiesi frowned, his understanding of Lu Ming's ability limited to copying the main body; but now, realizing that the shadow not only copies the main body, but also copies it, and the copied shadow can possess autonomous consciousness!

S Player...

What the hell is this ability?

"Just now I heard a loud sound… S Player, have you joined the Rebel Army?" Jiesi asked in a low voice: "And moreover, your position is even lower?"

Faint wailing sounds could be heard; the girl's eyes sank amidst the corpses everywhere; Lu Ming's order was: upon encountering Mo Yan, report the situation.

As for Jiesi...

Variable, it should have been killed together, but it showed no hostility; even part of the constables were killing...

"Rebel Army…" Mo Yan muttered for a moment, then raised his head: "What words did Lu Ming bring to give you?"

The girl looked, then slowly said: "Attack the manor."

Mo Yan's identity is that of a constable; if he abandons his constable identity to attack the manor, the main quest will be directly deemed a failure. Furthermore, there are hardly any side quests, so the instance rating will be quite low.

"Mo Yan." Jiesi looked at Mo Yan: "What do you think? Continue helping S Player?"

Mo Yan fell silent for a moment, then said: "Help, if Lu Ming takes the Anti-Player Army's route, I will still help."

Jiesi was speechless; after a year in the game, having encountered many, but the most stubborn, considered the Bloodsucking Princess, second.

Clearly low in strength, yet thinking of helping someone he's only met a few times.

"Sorry, President, returning to Main God Space will incur punishment." Mo Yan said: "But now…"

Jiesi reached out to interrupt.

"Far off; if punished, then we'd still have to count them one by one."

Mo Yan stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with realization.

"Just say it, also helping S Player." Jiesi said with a tone full of helplessness, obviously listening, saying a sentence unwillingly.

"S Player, can you hear that too?" Jiesi looked at the girl: "Luck is good, wanting to help; since you've agreed, in the next instance we'll give it our all."

The girl's eyes blinked, after a moment of silence, she said: "Then let's enter the manor first, while the constables haven't had time to set up defenses."

"Why the rush?" Jiesi said: "If we go in now, it's very likely to trigger a boss fight; although we know what the instance's boss is, it should still be easy to handle."

Jiesi wanted to wait for Li An, who also mingled with the Rebel Army, to meet up; attacking the manor together would be easier.

"Time permits." The girl said, picking up a gun from the blood-soaked ground.

He tried, but the gun had no response.

"Pull the bolt." Mo Yan walked over, helping to open the gun's bolt.

A cartridge case ejected, hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Mm… thanks." The girl slung the gun behind her back, took two steps, and walked straight toward the manor.

"Still waiting?" Mo Yan walked over, out of concern.

But soon, he realized the opponent's shadow; if Lu Ming wasn't dead, it could die, and he also didn't say anything else.

All along, the constables aided by few players kept suffering successive defeats.

Of course, some players chose to fight to the death, but the result was being targeted by even more players.

"Crazy?!" an old player looked at those: "Defecting to that guy, what can you gain?!"

"Want to encounter the shadow…"

"S Player is so strong; following him, in the end even the minimum points are gone…"

"Right, if we don't get points this time, we'll be eliminated; wanting to be eliminated…"

Those with little experience who killed the shadow were a frightened minority.

Almost all new players, still unfamiliar with their skills, could only first choose the safest method.

Of course, the crowd will always mix in some strange elements.

"I think S Player is so handsome; I don't care about the main quest, just glancing at him, also wasting a run of the instance."

"................"

"No hope…" the old player wearily scanned them.

These, even if cooperating to resist S Player, would still lose quickly.

Ultimately, they are all afraid.

Can also blame it, after all, when we first entered the game we were the same.

With the last line of defense broken, the Rebel Army entered the manor.

【Main Quest: Attack the Manor.】

【Quest Status: Completed!】

【Plot:

In an extremely equal situation, justice cannot be voiced, nor can freedom be obtained.

All that can be done is to pick up weapons!

【Main Progress: 64%】

【Already on the Final Route!】

Lu Ming felt a headache, and was also very cold.

Having already entered the manor, the five rebel armies behind should soon gather as well.

Lu Ming knows that the ultimate purpose of storming the manor is to continually search for clues to Noah's Ark.

But the game arranged a route; that must be its principle; just keep a place where clues can appear.

But...

So tired...

Lu Ming leaned on the bench beside him, feeling his strength being sapped bit by bit, his chest as if he had run ten or more kilometers in one breath, panting from pain.

In an instant, he spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

"S Player!" Yan Cheng was frightened by the scene, standing aside at a loss: "Where are you hurt?"

Lu Ming's face was somewhat pale; he knew the illness had flared up. Although he tried his best to be faster, he was still a bit lacking...

The illness still flared up; without medicine, he would soon collapse and die. His HP, visible to the naked eye, was decreasing at a visible speed.

"Ah... Linya's skill seems like a healing technique; quickly find her." Yan Cheng turned and headed toward the troops, searching for Linya.

The surrounding sounds had quieted considerably; only a few gendarmes remained fighting inside the rebel manor. Yan Cheng weaved through cover, searching for Linya's silhouette.

Everything seemed to have moved far away from Lu Ming.

Taking medicine from the system backpack, although it could ease the pain, at least it could restore some HP.

Lu Ming hadn't expected his body to have deteriorated to the point where he could barely hold onto things.

The medicine bottle clattered to the ground; suddenly, Lu Ming heard clear footsteps.

A young lady's silhouette appeared; she bent over and picked up the medicine bottle from the ground.

"Family Head..." Chang Qinglan's voice sounded: "Why are you doing this?"
