Chapter 457: One More Shot!

~7 min read 1,371 words

This was a Secret Room.

There were 20 people in the Secret Room.

The appearances of these 20 people...

5 Chen Rans, 5 Qiu Yinongs, 5 Lin Xuans, 5 Jiang Zhes.

Chen Ran took a puff of his cigarette.

'Damn virtual people again.'

He remembered that Baili Qiangsheng, whom he encountered in the Novice Instance, had this kind of skill; it didn't require a command when used. But he had to say, this was the gap in rank. Such a trash skill could be played to perfection in the hands of a Five-Star player, but it was truly trash in Baili Qiangsheng's hands.

The skill combination of Persona Mask + virtual people could indeed hide virtual people better.

Just as he thought of this.

The ground of the entire Secret Room was a giant conveyor belt. Everyone was standing on the conveyor belt, like a flat sightseeing elevator, taking everyone to an unknown area.

As time passed, the speed of the conveyor belt under their feet became faster and faster.

The others were running in the opposite direction. Seeing this scene, Chen Ran knew it was stable.

Time reversed to two and a half minutes ago.

Chen Ran intentionally or unintentionally looked at Lin Xuan, making Lin Xuan somewhat uncomfortable.

'What are you doing, aiyouyou!'

But he quickly noticed the thirty players opposite them. If they were to fight here, not counting Chen Ran's skill among the four of them, the skills of the three of them could pretty much indiscriminately kill the opposite side.

'Will the opposite side cover us with Ghost Whisperer Secret Rooms to isolate us?'

'No wonder this Jiang Zhe would first apply a BUFF on us that prevents us from being teleported or transferred.'

'After all, those are Slaves. If they seek death in the Ghost Whisperer Secret Room, and swap positions with us right when they are about to trigger a trap, they could screw us to death.'

'That's not all!'

'The creator of the Ghost Whisperer Secret Room and their teammates know the decryption method, which is also very disadvantageous to us.'

'So that's how it is!'

'He wanted me to change the positions of all thirty people opposite us, so that the Secret Rooms they are teleported to later might not be the ones they created themselves, making it a fair start for everyone. It would be best to disrupt all their teams so they can't use perfect Combo Skills.'

'Moreover, I have two spaces where the time flow is fast. I know in what order the fatty on the opposite side will teleport the Secret Rooms later.'

'Awesome!'

'I kept up with Chen Ran's train of thought!'

Chen Ran: Running while only halfway getting it; teleport the us from the other spaces over!

Time returned to the present.

The others were all running in the opposite direction. Chen Ran knew that these players, just like him, didn't know what they would encounter next.

He was also walking backwards, trying to keep a two-meter distance from the players behind him.

Soon, a tunnel appeared ahead.

There were three words above the tunnel:

【The Hundred Family Surnames】

After Chen Ran pondered for a moment.

He stared intently at the tunnel ahead.

The tunnel was very wide, taking up about 3/4 of the front wall, and it was very dark inside.

However, if one looked closely, they would find that to the left and right of the tunnel entrance, there was a 【step】 extending into the tunnel on each side.

The steps were about 30 centimeters wide.

'This is it!'

Chen Ran inconspicuously moved to the middle of the conveyor belt, stretched out his hand and pointed at 【The Hundred Family Surnames】.

"So that's how it is!"

"I've deduced the answer. Those who don't want to die, follow behind me!"

After saying that, he suddenly accelerated and ran madly into the tunnel along the center line.

"He should be Chen Ran!" someone voiced out. "Everyone, be careful!"

At times like this, the first one to voice out is usually a thief crying 'Stop thief!'.

Chen Ran, who was madly running forward, had his figure stall for a moment, and he turned his head to fiercely glare at the 【Lin Xuan】 who just spoke.

Seeing someone drawing a gun, Chen Ran secretly thought this was bad; Trying to Steal a Chicken Only to Lose One's Rice, this time he probably poked a hornet's nest.

He madly accelerated again, instantly distancing himself from the crowd, running into the tunnel, and disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Trying to run?"

"Ghost Whisperer·Freezing Ray!"

The Secret Room went dark. In the darkness, the 【Jiang Zhe】 using the skill had his body turn blue, suddenly shooting a blue light towards the tunnel. Of course, no one saw it. After all, the darkness of the skill was a darkness that devoured everything, even 【Jiang Zhe】 himself didn't know his body had turned blue in the darkness, so naturally no one saw the extreme blue light emitted from his body.

In the dark tunnel, Chen Ran suddenly felt hit by something. His body instantly stiffened and he couldn't move.

"Has anyone deduced the answer?"

No one answered. Some were thinking, some were taking out flashlights.

Just as everyone was brought into the tunnel by the conveyor belt, out of the 19 people, 14 took out flashlights, turning into hidden ones, and one after another jumped onto the steps on the left and right sides inside the tunnel.

The 14 people stuck close to the tunnel walls, moving rapidly forward. The six people remaining on the conveyor belt secretly thought this was bad upon seeing this.

But it was already too late!

A dense rain of arrows rapidly shot from the front, wave after wave. Out of the six people on the conveyor belt, five clipped through and disappeared, and one was shot into a hedgehog, slowly falling to the ground.

On the other hand.

The players standing on the steps on both sides were not affected by the rain of arrows, completely unharmed.

It turned out that only one person hadn't deduced the answer; everyone else had.

Almost simultaneously.

On the right step, the person at the very front seemed to bump into something.

Their whole body bounced back, and was bounced back by the person behind them. Ultimately landing on the conveyor belt.

And was shot into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows!

This scene terrified the players on the right step, not daring to move forward anymore.

The 【Chen Ran】 at the very front shined the flashlight over, only to see...

Standing in front was a youth, currently making a peace sign at him.

Who else could this person be if not Chen Ran?

The next moment, the Chen Ran in front suddenly raised his left hand, and the bright light of the flashlight in his hand shined so brightly that he couldn't open his eyes.

"The one who used the skill just now, quick, quick, quick! One more shot!"

The Hundred Family Surnames was typically the Northern Song version of the Hundred Surnames, namely: Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li...

The Hundred Family Surnames at that time was ranked according to the political status during the Northern Song period.

In Northern Song, Zhao was the national surname.

Zhao: Zhao Song.

Qian: The King of Wuyue's surname was Qian.

Sun: The concubine of the King of Wuyue's surname was Sun.

Li: Li Yu of Southern Tang.

Zhao 【North】, Qian 【East】, Sun 【East】, Li 【South】.

In other words.

The first attack came from the North.

The second attack came from the East.

The third attack came from the East.

The fourth attack came from the South.

As for the directions?

The tunnel's name was The Hundred Family Surnames, so naturally it was front North, back South, left West, right East.

Therefore, the first attack's rain of arrows came from the front. Then the next two attacks would come from the right side. If...

At this time, Chen Ran was frozen again.

He would undoubtedly die!

It was just that, the person yelling for the one who used the skill just now to fire one more shot was...

That 【undoubtedly dying】 Chen Ran.
