Chapter 427 Eliminate the trouble
This was the first time in the [Upgrade Game] that such a terrifying rating was given to a target before a battle even occurred, and Maoqiu was sure that their captain Bai Chifei would never have such an outrageous level of combat power!
So the only truth is that the person in front of him who looks exactly like Bai Chifei is not Bai Chifei at all!
The long sword pierced Bai Chifei's head accurately, and the feeling of the sword piercing into the flesh was clearly fed back to Maoqiu. It was indeed the feeling of a sword piercing into the flesh, but he did not feel any resistance from the skull at all, and... the opponent did not bleed at all.
Maoqiu's sword pierced Bai Chifei's head. Bai Chifei held the sword and grinned, "Not only do you not want revenge, but you also want to kill me when you see me appear?"
"Um!"
Maoqiu pulled the sword out with great force, and what came out of Bai Chifei's head was not blood or brain matter, but very sticky white, tender and soft flesh. After the flesh was turned outward, it retracted into Bai Chifei's head due to its incredible elasticity. The wound on his forehead was almost invisible if you didn't look carefully.
Ma Ning and Kong Haifeng watched this scene in horror. Although their minds were blank, their bodies had already followed Maoqiu's command and instinctively began to escape.
Ma Ning and Kong Haifeng's bodies disappeared into thin air in an instant, and the next second, they appeared on a roof far away outside the house.
"Just now...what was that just now?"
"I don't know, but he's not the captain!"
Compared with Ma Ning and Kong Haifeng who had escaped from the house and were temporarily safe, Maoqiu who was still in the house was not so calm.
This is beyond his level limit, he will definitely not be able to win.
But if you run , you might still be able to escape!
Maoqiu's eyes quickly scanned Bai Chifei, and when they fell on the sword in Bai Chifei's hand, he was stunned.
From the beginning, he had been ignoring a key detail, which was - why did he only see one piece of data! ?
In the past, when he saw Bai Chifei holding Bai Yufei in his hand, two sets of data would appear in his field of vision, one for Bai Chifei and the other for Bai Yufei.
But now he only saw one piece of data, which was very strange. Even if the person in front of him was not Bai Chifei at all, but another unknown monster, he would have two pieces of information if he had Bai Yufei.
Suddenly, the truth flashed through Maoqiu's mind, and in an instant he understood everything. The person standing in front of him was not a monster, "it" was Bai Yufei.
"Why?" Maoqiu asked in confusion.
Bai Chifei gave him a cold smile, raised the sword in his hand, and chopped it down at the ball of fur on the head!
…
At this moment, Su Ming was sitting on the roof of the manor - taking a nap.
A gust of cold night wind blew by, and Su Ming's head jerked down as if he was hit by a knife. He woke up from his sleep with a start.
He suddenly woke up and felt that someone was attacking him. He looked around vigilantly, but when he found nothing unusual around him, he began to feel dazed.
He rolled his sore eyes and looked at the people dancing around the bonfire below. He thought that he actually dozed off while taking a walk. It seemed that he had consumed too much mental energy. Moreover, after a short nap, he was still very sleepy, which meant that his mental energy had not recovered much.
“Ahhh—”
Su Ming opened his mouth and yawned, then cast his gaze toward the deep purple night sky. In this night sky, there was no telling how many humans and monsters were hiding.
After defeating the Iron Spider, they counted the food reserves they had harvested, and then calculated the number of humans still alive. They found that the number of people who were not in the manor and were wandering outside was as high as sixty.
Su Ming didn’t know what the current situation of those people was. Perhaps some of them had already turned into monsters. Those who had given up on being human must be eyeing this place covetously.
"It's not efficient to sit here and wait all the time. Let's go outside and take a look around." Su Ming stood up from the roof, jumped and ran along the ridge, and was out of the manor in a few steps.
He circled the streets surrounding the estate, circle after circle, slowly expanding his range.
It would be best if he could take the initiative to find Bai Yufei and the others. Bai Yufei's sudden disappearance must have been caused by the devil. Given her mental state, it is 100% certain that she made a deal with the devil. She may gain new power, which may be of a growth type or some other type.
In short, Su Ming didn't want Bai Yufei to adapt to that power, or have enough time for the power to grow.
The best outcome would be to find Bai Yufei and kill her before she adapts to the power.
The streets at night are long and silent. The cold wind blows through the gaps in the buildings, making an eerie whistling sound that makes pedestrians nervous.
But Su Ming was very calm. People like him rarely scared themselves because of things that were impossible to happen. Even if he couldn't see every corner of the street in the dark, he knew that there was no one in those corners.
Just like when he watched horror movies with Xia Xiaoyu before, Su Ming would not be scared at all by the things in horror movies. This kind of artistic product produced by the director and fully revealing the director's will could not deceive his super intuition. He knew where ghosts would appear and whether the scary background music was deceiving the audience's senses.
And now, Su Ming knew that those places on this street shrouded in darkness were safe.
For Su Ming, this deserted street with cool breeze made it easier for him to clear his mind and relax his tired nerves.
And so he walked down the street... and walked... and then his pace slowed down.
Someone was watching him, in the small house he had just passed by.
There was some fear in that look, but it was not aggressive.
Su Ming walked towards the house and pushed open the rusty iron door which was already ajar. The dark purple moonlight shone into the house, which was dark and silent.
"Come out." Su Ming said.
There was a noise in the corner, and then a slightly hunched man walked out from the shadow of the corner and came timidly in front of Su Ming.
"Mr. Xia." The man greeted cautiously.
Su Ming looked him up and down, labeled him in his mind, and then asked directly, "Why do you want to leave the manor?"
The man was stunned by Su Ming's question. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the young man in front of him who was much younger than him. He lowered his head and sighed: "I'm afraid of death. I won a lot of food, but there must be people who can't stand it . If I don't leave, sooner or later I will die... killed by others."
"Oh, so this is why you ran away." Su Ming nodded, "Then do you want to go back with me now? Everyone has changed. I don't know when you ran away. When you left, did you hear me say that only thirteen people can leave here in the end?"
"I heard it, but I still don't want to be killed by others."
"Very good. If you don't want to hurt others, and don't want to be hurt by others, then you can come back with me. Of course, you can stay outside if you want." Su Ming turned sideways, closed his eyes and listened to the sounds coming from the wind. "Did you hear it? Singing and laughter?"
"I heard you, what are you doing?"
"banquet."
"Eh? Party? Why is there a party? Isn't there enough food?" the man asked in shock.
"There's not enough food to fill you up, but there's enough delicious food." Su Ming said, "It's up to you whether you want to go back or not. I don't care. As long as you don't want to hurt others, you're always welcome to come back... and no one will ever hurt you."
Hearing this, the man lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly clenched his fists.
"Then I'm going back!" the man looked up and said, but when he looked at Su Ming, he found that Su Ming was looking at the end of the street with a serious expression.
The aura emanating from Su Ming made the man feel nervous and uneasy.
"Mr. Xia, what's wrong?"
"You go back first and go from here." Su Ming pointed to the other side and said, "I have something to do."
After saying that, Su Ming walked towards the street in the distance.
He clearly felt a strong sense of oppression slowly moving towards him.
No! It shouldn't be said that it was moving towards him, but moving towards his manor.
Su Ming did not hide his whereabouts. He was already very close to the other party, and he knew that the other party had also noticed him, so he changed his direction.
A black shadow appeared at the corner ahead. The moonlight was dim. Even with eyes different from ordinary people, Su Ming could only vaguely see the silhouette of the other person's body. But even so, he recognized who the figure was at a glance. It was Bai Chifei.
"Sure enough! It's you!" Bai Chifei's voice was brought to Su Ming's ears by the wind.
In the distance, the shadow's footsteps began to gradually quicken. Su Ming heard the sound of quick running footsteps, the sound of the sword tip dragging on the ground, and the faint sparks of metal rubbing against the ground in the dark.
The distance kept shrinking, and finally, Su Ming saw the other person clearly.
He looks exactly like Bai Chifei, but he is not Bai Chifei.
It had a naked upper body, with three faces protruding from its chest. Su Ming did not recognize two of the faces, and one of them was a fur ball's face. The other three faces were embedded in Bai Chifei's chest, with lifeless eyes and breathing slowly. It seemed to be still alive, but had completely lost its self-awareness.
Su Ming's super intuition allowed him to instantly lock onto the opponent's weakness. Bai Chifei's weakness was not his body, but the sword in his hand!
If I'm not mistaken, this is the power that Bai Yufei obtained after the transaction. The Bai Chifei in front of him is actually a part of Bai Yufei.
“I’m going to kill you!!!”
Bai Chifei roared loudly, with his upper and lower jaws opened at a wide angle, like a snake.
Su Ming looked at the other party and said without hesitation: "Annihilation mode activated."
…
When Su Ming came to his senses, he was the only one on the street. Bai Yufei had disappeared without a trace. Su Ming saw that his position had not changed and that his reserve energy was being consumed in his field of vision. He knew that Bai Yufei had been reduced to ashes and that the other party had not even been able to escape from his range of fifty meters.
Judging from the consumption of backup energy, Bai Yufei's strength should be slightly weaker than Lin Batu.
However, in front of the annihilation mode, everyone is equal. Su Ming will not feel anything when the annihilation mode is turned on, so he cannot tell Bai Yufei's true strength. The only thing he knows is that the opponent is not the strongest among the opponents he has encountered, and is not even the stronger one.
"I'm really curious about what the High-Speed Rail Hunter will become in the end. It actually consumed so much of my reserve energy." Su Ming muttered to himself as he turned around and walked towards the manor.
Now that the crisis is over, I can save my brain cells and think carefully about how to explain the "moth to a flame" incident to everyone.
…
In the study, three chairs were placed opposite the desk. Cao Fengling, Fan Qi, and Lin Anyu were sitting on the chairs, each with his head down, thinking seriously.
Su Ming had just given the three of them a difficult problem - how to tell everyone that "moths can fly into flames".
"For things like this, we can only call everyone together and announce it at the same time, just like your short speech last time. As long as it is expressed well, it can still be very touching." Cao Fengling said.
"I think you're thinking too simply. This time is completely different from last time," Fan Qi said.
Cao Fengling sucked in a breath of cold air. She was just giving her suggestions, but was directly refuted by such a young boy. This made her extremely unhappy.
"What do you know, little brat? I think you are making a simple problem too complicated."
"Sister, you think too simply." Fan Qi glanced at Cao Fengling speechlessly. Facing this hot-tempered elder sister, Fan Qi did not seem to be afraid at all. Su Ming could even see some disgust on his face.
Is this the contempt that people with high IQs show for people with low IQs?
Cao Fengling slapped her thigh and said angrily, "You guys all like to complicate simple issues! Su Ming is the same. He was thinking about screening and so on before, but in the end, he just rushed in."
"There is a difference between coming to the right conclusion after thinking and just guessing the right answer. The former can be applied to most problems, while the latter can only be considered a kind of luck." Fan Qi frowned, as if he was explaining something very basic to a fool.
Although Cao Fengling doesn't like to use her brain, she is still very good at judging people. Now she can tell at a glance that this little brat looks down on her!
"Hey, why are you so arrogant! Did you put in any effort in this fight? Did you bleed?"
“Fighting doesn’t necessarily mean blood and strength. Sometimes brains are more useful than brawn!”
"Huh! I don't know where you get your confidence from. I haven't seen your brain working so far. You didn't have time to do the math problems last time, did you?"
"You! Is that all you can do?!"
"Huh? Isn't what I said the truth?" Cao Fengling tilted her head, pretending to be surprised, looking extremely annoying.
Seeing Fan Qi's angry look that could not be refuted, she felt indescribably happy in her heart. She didn't care whether brains or muscles were more important. She just wanted to make this arrogant boy uncomfortable. If the other party was unhappy, she would feel comfortable!
