Chapter 256

Lu Xiaoxiao, in the end, didn't have a boxed lunch, and coupled with being weakened from diarrhea, she ended up drinking a bowl full of virus water. Now, holding a scimitar, she could only guard Mu Chen, trembling!

Coupled with the strange cracks all over her body, several palace servants subconsciously stood in front of Mu Chen.

Those monsters looked quite dangerous.

But, the dancer in front of them looked pretty scary too!

Lu Xiaoxiao had no idea that her state had frightened a crowd of people. Her attention was focused on her brother and Mandison, who were heavily surrounded by bugs.

Lu Xiaoxiao also remembered the effect of the boxed lunch, but unfortunately, she hadn't eaten a bite, so she couldn't feel the true power of the boxed lunch.

The NPCs who had turned into bugs were now waving their newly formed, not-so-flexible insect legs, trying to use their sturdy, hammer-like pincers to swing directly at Mandison's head.

Seeing Mandison raise his hand to block, the bugs' eyes flashed with excitement. Even if it was with his hand, that hand would end up with a comminuted fracture!

But just as Mandison touched the bug's pincers, he shouted, "Ha!" and then, somehow, the bug felt a sharp pain in its tarsal joint!

Everything went black for a moment. When it came back to its senses, it saw its own huge pincers right in front of its eyes, instantly slicing off its own head!

Even in death, it didn't know why the pincers that should have smashed the human's head in front of it landed on its own head instead, killing it first.

Mandison excitedly watched as he suddenly switched places, and the insect's pincers flew towards its original position with inertia. He was thrilled to see the bug eliminate itself!

Earlier, when he saw these multi-legged bugs struggling to keep all their legs on the ground, some were lifted and used to support the largest "leg" used for the main combat, he had this bold guess!

Lu Gui's fighting method also involved switching positions, but it was a bit more troublesome than Mandison's.

Faced with the fierce attacks of some bugs, Lu Gui abandoned his scimitar and dagger, picked up a spear from a dead soldier, and used it to stab another bug nearby, swapping them to create multiple scenes of two bugs fighting each other!

The two temporarily escaped danger and looked at each other from afar, then realized—

Okay, they might not have the tacit understanding they imagined.

…

"Heavens, a miniature Xingyan Bug…" (Star Flame Bug)

Mingmei was a little stunned when she saw the Xingyan Bug suddenly turn into a giant dozens of meters tall. She turned her head and happened to see Julian running over with a sword. Julian was equally shocked by the scene in front of him, his mouth wide open!

Mingmei and the Enforcer looked at Julian together, and Julian looked at the two NPCs standing not far away, unsure of what to say.

Huh?

Could it be that the Mysterious Merchant also had some setting to capture bugs?

And this Lord Cui, clearly dressed as an ancient person, but holding… don't think he doesn't recognize what that is!

That pistol is way too cyberpunk!

"Ugh!"

Just as Julian was about to speak, he suddenly clutched his stomach, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, in so much pain that he almost couldn't catch his breath!

"He ate too much virus."

Mingmei was still surprised by what happened to Julian when the Enforcer gave the answer, telling Mingmei what was going on with Julian.

"But Yan Hui should have set up a safety protection for the players, at least he shouldn't explode."

The Enforcer's gaze fell on the cyan-purple cracks appearing on Julian's neck, then on the Xingyan Bug. His aura suddenly changed, and he took two steps forward.

The official uniform on his body gradually disappeared, quickly replaced by a combat uniform from the Federation army that Julian was all too familiar with.

"This is…"

Julian's pupils shrank. It was true that "Lord Cui's" uniform was from their Federation army, but it wasn't the current army's uniform.

The Federation army's combat uniform had been updated many times. He had only seen this uniform in his father's closet.

Who is this person… no, what is the origin of this NPC?!

Mingmei only sensitively noticed Julian's surprise, and thought he was surprised by the sudden transformation. When she looked at the Enforcer, his long hair gradually shortened, and in the soft light, Mingmei seemed to notice that his face had also changed.

No longer his father's face, but a blurred face that Mingmei would forget the next second after seeing it.

[Guigui, can you see the other person's face?]

[Host, no. ] Guigui originally wanted to scan the other party's data quietly, but unexpectedly felt a terrible coercion, a face that it couldn't data-analyze either.

[Yan Hui seems to have done the highest data protection for him.]

For the first time, Guigui changed her address for Yan Hui from Mr. Yan Hui directly to Yan Hui. It had begun to suspect whether Yan Hui had done something dangerous, hiding it from the main brain.

"I think… we will meet again, but the next time we meet may be even more dangerous."

Suddenly, the Enforcer turned his head to Mingmei and said this.

"You mean…" Mingmei was slightly stunned, as if she realized what the other person was saying. She clenched the dagger in her hand and turned her head to see the Xingyan Bug suddenly flying rapidly towards the sky!

"It's trying to escape!"

Mingmei shouted subconsciously. Then, the Enforcer also flew up. Seeing this, Mingmei couldn't wait to take off on the spot, but Guigui said [Their data is rapidly leaving this world!]

"I know!"

Mingmei could see it with her own eyes, of course. And when one person and one bug disappeared in the dark night sky, Mingmei saw an eye in the night sky.

A silver-blue eye, like an evil ghost from another world peeking into this world. Mingmei clearly saw the Enforcer raise the weapon in his hand and fire a shot at the eye before he disappeared, shattering the reflection of that eye!

[We'll meet in the next world.]

The Enforcer seemed to have foreseen Mingmei and the others' next world, and this voice entered Mingmei's ears again before leaving.

"Wait…"

The bug disappeared, but the changes it made to this world did not diminish in any way. Julian was in so much pain that his vision went black. There were many questions he wanted to ask, but the great pain prevented him from opening his mouth.

However, because of the departure of the Xingyan Bug, the NPCs who had turned into bugs due to taking the data virus it spread eventually began to collapse and disintegrate over time.

Lu Gui and the others, who had struggled in the early battles, gradually reduced the pressure with the support of ordinary soldiers outside. After about two incense sticks of time, the self-destruction of these bugs quickly ended this battle.

In the end, Hua Liang and Chu Rong negotiated again. Overall, the players felt that although today's game was generally thrilling, it was okay in the end, and it didn't seem as scary as other players said.

Julian, who really knew that the game's success was due to the NPCs, did not immediately reveal what he had seen in the game after leaving the game.

That Enforcer, perhaps, his father should know something.
