Chapter 392: Dangerous Situation
Do you want to kill me?
A very stupid question.
At least that's what Su Xia thought.
This is a fact that can be seen at a glance, and asking it is just a waste of time.
“Tick…”
A drop of blood dripped from the ceiling, hit the cold ground heavily, and splashed a sticky blood flower.
Behind Su Xia, every area had turned into hell. The floor, surrounding walls, ceiling, etc. were all splashed with a large amount of fresh blood. In some places, one could even see wriggling organs and twitching flesh.
He came with fear and death, like a messenger of death, and there was only one person left on the list.
With Frank's personal strength, he naturally could not resist Su Xia.
However, he felt the powerful fifth-level spiritual energy fluctuation.
The man sitting in the wheelchair had a pale face, a thin body, and even had difficulty speaking. He looked like a patient suffering from long-term malnutrition, but he was actually a level five creature!
Weak, yet powerful, a contradictory combination.
More importantly, Frank felt that the tall woman in black standing next to him was also an extremely powerful creature, much stronger than himself.
The two men promised that they would keep Frank alive.
Their promise represents the promise of Zero Point Tavern, and there will be no problems.
In other words, even if the mechanical race came today, they would not be able to take Frank's life away from these two people.
"Masked man, do you think you can kill me?"
Frank smiled strangely, with bloodshot eyes, and stared at Su Xia.
"I have to say, you are a very powerful person, so powerful that I can hardly resist you." Frank shook his head and said, "Even the power of the mechanical race can't stop you, so I naturally can't do it either. This... makes me admire you very much."
He was standing behind the right side of the man in the wheelchair. When he spoke, half of his body was behind the man in the wheelchair, and he consciously leaned backward with his body tending to lean backwards.
If Su Xia wanted to attack him, she had to break through the obstruction of the man in the wheelchair.
But now, the breath of the wheelchair man has locked onto Su Xia.
The two were like two monsters trapped in an arena, locked on to each other. If one of them took action, the other would surely take action as well, and the one who took action first would easily expose his flaws.
"Masked Stranger, no matter how powerful you are, you can't do certain things, such as... chopping off my head."
Frank spoke in a calm tone. He stretched out his hand as if it were a knife and gestured in front of his neck, as if he wanted to deliberately provoke Su Xia and make Su Xia take action.
He was very clear about his position and also knew the reason why the two people from the Zero Point Tavern were looking for him.
In this long corridor, he was a bait, like a worm on a fishhook, luring Su Xia to take the bait.
If a greedy and shameless person like him can't even do this, why would the Zero Point Tavern save his life?
"Masked man, why are you silent?" Frank laughed again, "Are you observing the terrain? Are you thinking about how to strike? I'm standing in front of you, why are you hesitating? To people like you, aren't people like me the ones who deserve to die the most?"
"You talk a lot." Su Xia finally spoke.
"Hey, talking a lot is also a skill."
Frank folded his arms and twisted his neck, his cervical vertebrae making a cracking sound.
He deliberately acted relaxed, as if he was waiting for Su Xia's butcher knife.
"There are a total of 613 employees in my base. They all died at your hands. There were also many deaths in the three bases in Seahorse City..."
Frank said, "Masked Stranger, I guess you think you are a hero and feel that you are ridding the people of harm. Now, my biggest pest is standing in front of you. Why did you stop?"
Hearing this, Su Xia looked calm and didn't react much.
Instead, the woman in black beside her tilted her head and glanced at Frank with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
If it wasn't for the purpose of arresting or killing the masked man, they would never cooperate with such a scumbag . The current cooperation is really a last resort.
Moreover, there was an obvious mistake in what Frank said.
Both the woman in black and the man in the wheelchair knew that a man like the masked man would never consider himself a hero, not even that idea.
This kind of people kill just for the pleasure of it!
When they see something that makes them uncomfortable, they will take direct action to eliminate the creatures that make them uncomfortable.
This kind of person cannot be defined as purely righteous or evil. His personality is very complex, and the simple word "hero" is too shallow.
"Masked freak, it seems we are no different."
Frank spoke again: "You killed my employees only because they were weaker than you. Now that you see someone stronger than you, you don't dare to do it again... In this case, what's the difference between us? We are all bullies!"
His voice echoed down the long corridor, passing through the darkness, and kept echoing.
However, Su Xia still had no reaction.
In fact, his ears directly filtered out the guy's trash talk. The reason he didn't take action was that he was just observing the man in the wheelchair and the woman in black.
The personal information of the wheelchair man popped up in front of him.
【Name: Yu Tianwen】
[Race: Human]
[Camp: Zero Point Tavern (neutral?)]
[Psychic level: ???]
【？ ？ ？】
【？ ？ ？】
【……】
[Character description: A special member of the Zero Point Tavern, codenamed "Godstick", a man that many level 5 and even level 6 creatures feel fear for...]
[Because his psychic talent is too mentally demanding, he has always been weak and powerless, and needs to regularly replenish himself with nutrient solution specially made by high-level pharmacists to maintain his body's energy consumption...]
[Be careful, please don't be deceived by its weak appearance...]
Although the level cannot be seen, it means that the strength of psychic power is close to level six, which is much stronger than Su Xia.
It is also impossible to read the complete description of his character, only some intermittent fragments can be seen.
According to the existing information, this wheelchair man is quite strong, much stronger than level 5 creatures like Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia, and is not as weak as he looks.
His thinness and paleness, his weakness, and the wheelchair he sits in are his best disguise.
If the enemy is careless, they may fall into his hands.
And the woman in black next to him was not a weakling either.
【Name: Dream Song】
[Race: Human]
[Camp: Zero Point Tavern (neutral?)]
[Psychic Level: 5.0]
【……】
[Psychic Talent: Dream Song]
[Character description: A special member of the Zero Point Tavern, codenamed "Dream", a non-combatant who has been doing civilian work for a long time, but... she is quite powerful and possesses the powerful skill "Summer Night's Sad Dream". This skill is much more powerful in her hands than in Fan Lu's hands...]
The name of this woman in black is the same as her psychic talent, Mengqun.
Most likely, the name was changed after the talent was awakened.
Su Xia had heard of this kind of talent. When this talent was released, people around would vaguely hear a beautiful singing voice, and then gradually sink into a dreamlike illusion.
According to legend, in the vast ocean, there is a mutated mermaid that possesses the same ability.
As for the skill called "Sad Dream on a Midsummer Night", Fan Lu had used it before when he was fighting against Moser. However, it was useless to Moser, and instead brought bad luck to the people watching from the sidelines.
At that time, many players fell into a coma because of this skill, not only in the game, but also in reality.
This incident caused a big stir and there is still no complete conclusion.
Many players claimed that they saw their childhood before they fell into a coma, so they suspected that the game company stole their memories through gaming devices. Many of them filed appeals against the game company.
Others think that the gaming devices in the hive are harmful to the body, which is why players fall into a coma, and they demand that the use of these devices be suspended.
Because of this, several companies that produced equipment for this game have all gotten into trouble and have yet to get out of it.
"Masked man, are you listening?"
Frank's voice came: "I said, we are all the same kind of people, there is no difference, do you hear me?"
This statement is actually degrading Su Xia, and it only distinguishes human beings based on the surface of strength and weakness.
In any case, Su Xia would at least not kill innocent people for his own selfish interests.
Frank naturally knew this. He said this just to anger Su Xia, destroy Su Xia's mood, and make Su Xia unstable in subsequent battles.
At this moment, the man in the wheelchair suddenly stretched out his hand, his arm was pale and thin, and signaled Frank to stop.
He looked at Su Xia calmly, and after a moment, he said the first sentence: "Masked Stranger, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"How long?" Su Xia asked with interest.
"Since you escaped from Kaiba Castle."
"Oh, you think that since I have destroyed those three bases, I will naturally not let go of the Conch City base, so you are waiting for me here?"
Su Xia shrugged and said, "That makes sense. I should have asked you to wait a little longer."
Hearing this, the man in the wheelchair chuckled: "You don't have time anymore. You won't keep me waiting."
"Why don't you have time?"
"Stand device."
"Do you think I'm afraid of that thing?" Su Xia pointed outside with a calm face.
"You may not be afraid, but you will subconsciously speed up your actions . This is the instinct in your subconscious mind to seek benefits and avoid harm."
"subconscious?"
"Yes, it is lurking in your consciousness, unnoticed, but it is always influencing you."
In other words, the moment Su Xia saw the stand device, his sense of urgency began.
He won't stay in this city for long, that's for sure.
"Are you two planning to leave me here?" Su Xia asked him.
"No, the two of us can't do it yet." The man in the wheelchair said softly, "We are here only to save Frank's life."
"Oh, you think you can keep it?"
"Perhaps."
As soon as the wheelchair man finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire corridor suddenly tensed.
The murderous intent surged, the blood surged, it was Su Xia who took action!
If you don't agree with each other, it's just a waste of time. No matter how nice your words are, it's useless. Only when you take action can you tell the truth from the false.
But as soon as he moved, he heard a faint singing voice in his ears, soft and melodious, seeming real and illusory, ethereal and non-existent, as if coming from a distant coast.
The woman in black took action.
Talent, Dream Song!
After hearing the song, Su Xia was in a trance for a moment, and some strange scenes appeared in front of her eyes.
But at this moment, he felt cold all over, a chill came over him, giving him goose bumps, as if something deadly was approaching rapidly.
"roll!"
He shouted softly, and the steel bars around the entire corridor exploded instantly with a loud bang.
The walls on both sides of the corridor exploded, broken bricks splattered and bounced everywhere, and pungent smoke and dust covered the entire corridor.
The deafening roar interrupted the strange singing and woke him up instantly.
The dream is shattered.
Then, a sharp pain came.
Su Xia looked down and saw a deep scar on his chest, bleeding profusely, and even the bone was cut in half, just a hair's breadth away from tearing out his heart!
The clothes were stained with blood and stuck to his skin, feeling warm.
The terrifying sense of crisis just now was real. There was indeed a deadly thing approaching his body.
If he had woken up one second later, his body might have been cut in half!
“Good trick!”
Su Xia looked closely and saw a blue light flashing in the hand of the wheelchair man opposite her. It was a weapon whose true appearance could not be seen clearly.
The teamwork between the man in the wheelchair and the woman in black was seamless and they had perfect harmony.
If it were a level 5 creature like Hu Hanhai or Liu Jinjia, he would have died at that moment.
Across from her, the woman in black frowned slightly and whispered, "Sure enough, I can't kill him."
The wheelchair man chuckled: "I told you... you lost the bet, remember to give me the collector's edition of Floating World Record when you go back."
"You didn't drain the water?"
"I won't do that. The Masked Man is really strong."
The brief fight just now seemed to be a bet between the two, and the woman in black lost the bet.
Su Xia's face was solemn, and he did not act rashly.
That moment of trance almost caused him to die here.
He knew that it was a mental attack, and he had no way to resist it, so he was very passive.
In the Zero Point Tavern, not only the woman in black knew how to perform mental attacks, but Fan Lu also knew some, otherwise Yi Mo and Shen Yu would not have become demented.
Besides the two of them, there must be others who would do it.
Once this advanced creature takes action, Su Xia will be in danger of death!
At this time, Frank spoke again: "Hey, Masked Stranger, why don't you continue?"
The brief fight just now made Frank feel completely at ease.
He knew that with these two people in front of him, Su Xia would not be able to kill him today and could only watch him leave.
Frank now looked a little embarrassed, because when the steel bars around the corridor exploded just now, the air wave shattered his psychic shield, and some fragments cut his clothes and skin.
But this was the greatest harm Su Xia could do to him.
"I used to admire the famous masked man, but now he seems nothing special." Frank shook his head and deliberately made his tone sound contemptuous in order to anger Su Xia.
At that moment just now, because Su Xia attacked first, he was at a disadvantage and was blocked by the man in the wheelchair and the woman in black.
Now, all Frank needs to do is continue to be a good bait.
It would be great if Su Xia could continue to do it.
The best result, of course, is to let Su Xia die here!
Once Su Xia died, he would no longer have any concerns and could be the person in charge of his base with peace of mind.
"I said, masked man, my life is not in your hands." Frank gently wiped off the dust on his body, not caring about the small wounds on his skin. He raised his head slightly and looked at Su Xia.
"Hey, if you can't kill me today, I will kill more people tomorrow!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, you know, I'll do it!"
