Chapter 1 Almost Tricked

Liu Wudai, having almost fallen for the enemy's trick, was naturally unwilling to let the matter rest. Although she didn't know what that insect her teammate had thrown out was, it definitely had tracking and detection functions.

Moreover, based on the fact that her teammate didn't throw out the insect at first, but instead chose to use the unmanned reconnaissance drone she had provided, she could deduce that the insect's use definitely had certain limitations.

For example, it could only provide a general direction, not precisely and conveniently reflect the enemy's specific location, its flight speed was too slow, its flight altitude was too low, and so on.

Thoughts surged in Liu Wudai's mind, but her face remained expressionless as she heavily pressed down on the car's accelerator.

However, before the black car could even launch, a figure suddenly crashed into it, slamming headfirst into the rearview mirror, causing them to bleed profusely.

Enemy attack?!

Liu Wudai's pupils suddenly constricted. The one who had slammed into the rearview mirror was just an ordinary jogger wearing headphones, shorts, and an armband.

One second he was panting as he jogged slowly on the side of the road, and the next second his face was twisted, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had seen a mortal enemy, crashing into the car.

Not just him, but all the pedestrians on the right side of the street stopped what they were doing at the same time.

Diners in the fast food restaurant dropped their chopsticks, delivery drivers abandoned their electric bikes, and couples waiting at the bus stop let go of each other's hands.

Everyone's eyes were filled with crimson. They screamed as they rushed towards the car, desperately punching at the car windows, using their human bodies to ram the car, climbing onto the car and smashing their heads against the roof, even using their hands and feet to try and flip the car over.

There were at least thirty pedestrians crowded around the car, and more and more pedestrians were running towards it.

At the intersection ahead, at least four or five minor car accidents had occurred. The bloodied drivers, with their families in tow, got out of their wrecked cars and staggered towards the black car.

Looking out from the car, all one could see were countless twisted faces, screaming and roaring humans trying to smash the car.

This scene was even more terrifying than a typical zombie movie.

Liu Wudai's foot hovered over the accelerator. She knew all too well that this was the work of the enemy team—that Qing Chong (green insect), whose entire body had been smashed to pieces, leaving only its head.

It was using a moon phase locator to control the surrounding pedestrians with a mental shock from a thousand meters away, trying to block Liu Wudai and the others from pursuing.

This was also normal. In the eyes of the inhuman player Gulu Lulu Gu, humans were no different from other animals, and were even more worthy of hatred most of the time.

It wasn't that Liu Wudai didn't have large-scale damage skills, but the effects were generally too powerful. With one blow, a large number of these ordinary people crowded around the car would definitely die.

Similarly, she couldn't bring herself to step on the accelerator—not to mention whether she would run over the seven or eight people in front of the car, even if she started the car and chased after them, the other party could do the same trick again, constantly using pedestrian "roadblocks" to block the car.

"As expected of an insect, its methods are indeed dark enough."

Li Ang, sitting in the back of the car, shook his head, put on his sunglasses, looked out the window, and directly activated the Cat's Eye effect, indiscriminately creating illusions to shock the minds of the surrounding pedestrians.

As a newbie item, the Cat's Eye wasn't very efficient in its use of mental energy.

Fortunately, Li Ang's ability reserves were quite good. With one blow, he directly stunned a large number of pedestrians around the car.

At the same time, Chai Da Xiaojie (Miss Chai) also opened the car door, using her strength and agility attributes, which exceeded those of ordinary players, to skillfully throw the unconscious pedestrians out, piling them up in the first floor lobby of the roadside fast food restaurant.

The congested road was instantly cleared. Just as Liu Wudai was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that on the apartment building next to the road, many residents were climbing onto the windowsills with blank expressions and in unison, seemingly preparing to jump down collectively and smash onto the surrounding area of the car.

The player forum recognized that mental ability was one of the most difficult transcendent powers to deal with, not only because of its concealment, but also because mental ability had extremely lethal killing effects on ordinary people, which were impossible to defend against.

A group of apartment building residents were teetering in the high altitude. Limited by the Cat's Eye effect's casting range, Li Ang couldn't forcibly dispel the caterpillar's illusion.

Seeing that the apartment building was about to stage a dumpling-dropping scene, Chai Da Xiaojie decisively stepped on the surface of the apartment building walls in a series of continuous steps, kicking each of the ordinary residents who were preparing to jump back into the house with a light kick.

Good!

If Liu Wudai hadn't been there, Li Ang would have really wanted to give Chai Da Xiaojie a thumbs up.

"Hehehe, hehehehe~"

At this time, those ordinary people who had been abandoned in the fast food restaurant lobby had already woken up. Many people's eyes had returned to clarity.

But there were still some people with bloodshot eyes, giggling strangely, baring their teeth, picking up pairs of chopsticks from the fast food tables, and sticking them into their own eye sockets.

The caterpillar wanted to let Li Ang, as a human, personally experience the helplessness and pain of seeing his compatriots die tragically before his eyes, but being powerless to do anything.

Just like the slender caterpillars in the farmland back then.

Seeing that twenty or so people were about to poke their own eyes out with chopsticks, Li Ang immediately activated the Cat's Eye effect, trying to stop the caterpillar from committing atrocities for the second time.

But someone was faster than him.

On the road diagonally in front of the intersection, two men and one woman rushed over urgently. They were all wearing casual clothes, not taking any means of transportation, but rushing over on their own two legs—their speed was even faster than ordinary vehicles.

Liu Wudai also recognized the leader, a man in his thirties with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was Xun Zi'an, the leader of the Sixth Team of the Yin City Mobile Task Force.

He had once been an excellent frontline agent, and even after becoming a player, he hadn't changed his straightforward and decisive (or rather, bad) temper.

"Stop!"

Xun Zi'an, separated from the black car by an entire road, leaped over the scene of the car accident, and roared in mid-air. The sound waves turned into the appearance of a golden lion, waving its claws towards the crowd in the fast food restaurant.

The skill named 【Shixiang Beast King Roar】could not only materialize sound, repel demons and monsters, and dispel all evils, but also make people's minds clear, as if they had been struck on the head with a stick.

After a roar, all the people who had been mentally controlled by the caterpillar fainted and fell to the ground. The two team members who followed closely behind Xun Zi'an also began to rescue the injured on the spot.

"Team Leader Xun,"

Liu Wudai got out of the car and said to Xun Zi'an, "It's me, Liu Wudai."

"Miss Liu?"

Xun Zi'an, a tall and handsome middle-aged uncle with excellent sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, stepped forward slowly, his brow furrowing deeply. "What are you doing here?"

Liu Wudai's heart stirred. According to the task briefing's setting that 'players cannot seek help from other existences outside the scope of the task', no matter what she said, she was afraid that Xun Zi'an wouldn't believe her.

It was better to just lie and claim that she had been inexplicably attacked by other players.

She was about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Xun Zi'an. "Yin City has now entered a state of emergency. All transcendents need to accept the Special Affairs Bureau's control for investigation.

I don't care what Miss Liu is here for.

In short, come with me to the bureau."

Liu Wudai's heart sank. This Xun Zi'an had an excellent appearance, but his temper was stinky and hard. Many years ago, he had been liked by a female teacher in college. The other party's family had a lot of background. It could be said that as long as Xun Zi'an was willing to bow down to her pomegranate skirt, he would be able to rise to the top after graduation.

However, Xun Zi'an's heart was higher than the sky, and he already had a lover. He flatly rejected the female teacher's hints, and sure enough, after graduation, he was affected by the other party's family and assigned to a remote and backward area, fighting against the most dangerous and insane criminals.

According to the normal routine, Xun Zi'an should have made great contributions, suffered serious injuries, and ultimately still been humiliated by power, abandoning his dignity and succumbing to power.

But Xun Zi'an just wouldn't play according to the routine. Not only did he catch countless criminals on the front line, solving major cases repeatedly,

Eight months ago, he assisted a Mobile Task Force agent who had fallen into a remote and backward area with his mortal body, and relying on a small knife, he disemboweled a monster in the barren mountains and rivers, and was appreciated by the higher-ups and transferred back to Yin City.

Finally, he was favored by the Killing Game system and automatically obtained player qualification—while the family of the female teacher from college was involved in another incident involving transcendent power, and their family was destroyed.

Xun Zi'an, who was able to fall from a prosperous city to a remote and backward area, and insist on not regretting or succumbing for several years, was naturally impossible to be intimidated by the mere Liu family.

What's more, Yin City had indeed entered a state of emergency, and the instructions issued by the Special Affairs Bureau's superiors were to arrest all players with strange behavior.

No matter what Liu Wudai or Liu Youdai you are, arrest them all!

Xun Zi'an looked at Liu Wudai's silent appearance, his brows furrowed little by little, his tone became a little unkind, his hands behind his back, his whole person exuding a fierce and domineering aura. "Miss Liu Wudai, let's go."

The air was so oppressive that it could condense into ice.

"No one but me can call her by her full name!"

A coquettish voice suddenly rang out from the back of the black car,

Li Ang, draped in a cloak of justice, holding a stereo playing the song "God of Gamblers", pushed open the car door and said indifferently to Xun Zi'an, "The flowery world is charming, don't compete if you don't have the strength. Brother, a woman petted by a lion won't fancy a stray dog."
