Chapter 459 Old Friends Meet
The Corpse King Qi Yulan is one of the four ghost kings sitting under the [Supernatural] Apostle. Although he is not at the peak, he is quite appreciated for his ability to control puppets. He is the most troublesome polluter among the [Supernatural] and the Yuanxiu Society. one.
Generally speaking, when dealing with such a summoner-like character, one must bypass the puppets she controls and go straight to the fragile body. But those who had tried to do this before had all fallen in front of this corpse king.
Few people know that this seemingly fragile old lady may have the upper limit of one-round defense power as the top of the four ghost kings!
Because her puppet ability has a derivative skill, which is life sharing.
The vitality of the puppets controlled by her will be bound to her Gang Qi, forming a shield. The more puppets she controls, the stronger their vitality, and the higher the defense of her Gang Qi. When attacked, She will give priority to consuming the puppet''s life force to resist. In theory, as long as her puppets are not dead, the shield will not be broken!
However, this skill, which was originally used to save lives, has a new application in this world under the rules of deducting points for killing.
Puppetry is essentially a technology that uses spiritual bodies to transform and control humans. It can be understood as being possessed by a ghost. This process is theoretically reversible. As long as the possessed spiritual body is removed, the person can return to normal. However, will become weak. Therefore, if someone kills the puppet controlled by her, the final points deducted will be calculated on the opponent''s head.
But the nature of life sharing is different. After testing, the Corpse King found that if someone attacks her shield and causes the death of the puppet, the points deducted will be shared equally between her and the attacker.
Therefore, the reason why the Corpse King acted so tough when he was caught by Luo Jun was because he had confidence in his defense. Moreover, the Corpse King himself has a treasure that can resist the obliteration program, so she even actively provoked Ye, hoping that Ye would be beaten harder, and it would be best to directly deduct the points. If she could escape, Ye would have to go through the erasure program of a narrow escape.
But she never expected that Luo Jun''s hammer would kill all the thousands of puppets bound to her. The Gang Qi collapsed, and she was hammered to death before she could even trigger the erasure program!
And Luo Jun also had all his points deducted because of these thousands of lives, triggering the erasure process!
…
Luo Jun didn''t know the details of this, but he had no time to think about anything more. He was at high altitude and was stunned by the sudden news for a few seconds. When he realized it, there were only five seconds left on the countdown!
My score is cleared... can it be increased again? Luo Jun lowered his head and glanced at the community on the ground. Zhuge Lan just said that there were two polluters on the fifth floor of that building...
Relying on his strong eyesight, Luo Jun locked onto the building and then swung the hammer in his hand.
Four seconds left!
When he reached enough speed, he suddenly increased his weight, and the huge inertia took him to dive downwards!
Three seconds left!
The distance of several hundred meters was reached in an instant. Luo Jun smashed through the floor, used the hammer to adjust the speed and direction in time, and landed accurately in the room!
Two seconds left!
There are two monsters standing in the room. Although they generally maintain their humanity, under their loose clothes, you can see the horns, scales and hair on their claws. They are obviously polluters from the [Savage]!
How come [Barbarian] is involved with [Supernatural]?
No... Judging from their straight bodies and dull expressions, it seems that they are not cooperating, but controlled or brainwashed by the Corpse King in some way!
No matter what, these two guys look like they''re still alive, so killing them should give you points!
"Tianji dice!"
"Survived the erasure process!"
"Ding! This event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined!"
The moment this result appeared, Luo Jun was stunned...
An inevitable event is definitely not inevitable success, is it inevitable failure?
This means that even if he kills the two people in front of him, it will not help...
Since the outcome is already determined, there is no need to take up two more heads. Luo Jun glanced at Ling Xin and Zhuge Lan on the rooftop in the distance through the broken wall, and found that the two women were also looking in his direction.
One second left...
At the last second, Luo Jun pointed at them, then pointed at the two [Savage] polluters standing stupidly behind him, and finally waved his hand.
Then, Luo Jun''s figure slowly faded and disappeared completely...
…
When he came back to his senses, Luo Jun was in a white room.
Is this the place where the erasure program takes place?
Luo Jun looked around, and suddenly, a few lines of words appeared on the wall.
"Because you violated relevant rules during the mission and were eliminated, you are about to undergo the erasure process."
"The specific content of the erasure program will be a random death challenge drawn by the contestants. After successfully completing the challenge, you can return to the main world and receive an unqualified evaluation for this Chaos Mission. All rewards obtained in the Chaos Mission will be cleared."
"During the death challenge, all Noble Phantasms are disabled."
"Now, please draw your death challenge."
“If you do not draw a challenge within five minutes, the challenge content with the lowest pass rate will be locked for you.”
Below this text, a screen appeared with a lever next to it.
If you don’t draw it yourself, then give it the highest difficulty, right?
Although Luo Jun was a little curious about the content of this challenge with the lowest pass rate, Luo Jun couldn''t afford to pursue a challenge that meant he would die if he lost and there would be no reward if he won...
Secret dice!
"Draw a challenge that you can pass."
The results showed that the conditions were not clear. After all, whether he can pass or not depends on Luo Jun''s performance, and cannot be determined by just one dice roll.
I thought about it and rephrased it.
"Draw a challenge that suits me."
Whether you can pass it or not is a conclusion, determined by many factors and full of variables. But whether it is suitable or not depends only on Luo Jun''s own objective conditions, which can still be determined.
Sure enough, the dice started rolling. Two pairs of dice, one pair has three points, the other pair has two zeros, the full point is one hundred points!
(ノ⊙ω⊙)ノ嚯! What a polarizing result...
Luo Jun raised his hand and selected one hundred points, and the prompt sounded in his head.
"Ding, the event difficulty is 37 points, the final point is 100 points, the event is a great success!"
It was actually a big success? This is a surprise... But looking at the difficulty level, it is only 37 points. It seems that with Luo Jun''s current ability, most of the challenges are suitable. It seems that he can pass it with a normal draw.
And now that there is a great success, it seems that passing it smoothly should be a sure thing... I should be able to return to the main world alive, but it is a pity that this large-scale recruitment mission, such a good start, and a large number of rewards, were all in vain.
Luo Jun walked forward with regret and pulled the lever. The content on the screen started to rotate rapidly up and down. After about a minute, it gradually slowed down and finally stabilized into four words:
"Doomsday Escape!"
Then, the screen changed and turned into an animated short film, and the content of the challenge was introduced based on the screen.
"After the challenge begins, players will enter a doomsday world that is on the verge of collapse. Players can only run forward to avoid various disasters and finally reach the end portal to leave this terrible world."
Various disasters are constantly breaking out in the screen, including earthquakes, lightning, meteor showers, hurricanes, etc. In the screen, you can see a little animated figure running quickly while avoiding the disasters that are coming from all directions. Behind the villain, Luo Jun saw a black void that swallowed everything like annihilation. As long as the villain slowed down a little, he would be swallowed and killed...
Good guy, this is a doomsday obstacle course... But with Luo Jun''s mobility and powerful Gang Qi, it shouldn''t be a big problem to sprint through these disasters. It is indeed a challenge that is quite suitable for him.
At the same time, the sound of the secret dice also sounded in Luo Jun''s mind.
"The incident was a great success, with a basic experience value of 37 points, an event severity factor of 12 times, and a final experience value of 888 points!"
Twelve times?
This serious factor really shocked Luo Jun. Doesn''t this mean that if the incident fails, he will die?
It can''t be so serious... With his current level, Luo Jun boasted that if he didn''t rely on the Noble Phantasm, his master would not be his opponent. Master, he claims to have gone through many erasure procedures. There is no reason why he has a 1/3 chance of dying?
What''s more, this erasure program is prepared for Class A players. Although his current level is not as good as Feathering, he is still first-rate at the top, and he can afford to be placed in the Special Class. How could he die in Class A so easily? Challenging?
Besides, he decided that the challenge was suitable for him. Even if it wasn''t suitable, he wouldn''t definitely die, right? Have you even omitted the challenge process?
No matter how he thought about it, Luo Jun felt that there was something wrong with this serious factor, but the death challenge would not wait for him to analyze it carefully, and the surrounding environment had begun to change. Soon, the white walls began to become transparent, and the sky turned a burning red. The ground beneath my feet began to shake, and the surrounding scenery became upside down and chaotic. The mountains collapsed, buildings collapsed, and meteorites fell from the sky. It was like a scene of doomsday.
The most terrifying thing is that after a few seconds, you can see a huge black shadow dozens of meters away... It is pure black, unable to project even a trace of light, and it is constantly expanding, swallowing everything around it. !
That is the void. Once you enter, there is no possibility of survival!
Luo Jun''s mission is to stay away from it as much as possible! As for the destination... a pillar of light already appeared in his vision, located beyond the distant horizon. That''s where the portal is!
He must get there through the many disasters of the doomsday before being swallowed up by the void!
It''s easy to do it when the goal is clear. Luo Jun watched as the color of the wall became lighter and lighter. The construction of the challenging world was constantly being improved. At the same time, the Midnight Mask on his face began to become transparent and was about to be forcibly sealed...
Luo Jun slowly bent down and was ready to start. When everything was ready, he would rush out as fast as possible, leaving the terrifying void far behind him.
But at this moment, the world around him suddenly stopped...
Luo Jun is very sure that the process of teleporting him to this doomsday world sounds complicated. In fact, it only lasts a few seconds. The surrounding scenery is changing rapidly every moment. But just now, the world is about to be completed. Challenge The moment it started, everything around him stopped, as if time had stood still!
What''s going on?
Luo Jun straightened up subconsciously. He found that he could still move normally, as if he was in a different time and space from everything around him.
What the **** is going on?
Luo Jun walked up to the almost transparent wall with some curiosity and raised his hand to touch it, but at the moment of contact, the wall suddenly flickered...
The feeling was somewhat similar to the screen blur and strobe of a computer, but what made it all was not a mosaic of colorful spots, but countless weird and chaotic patterns. Although Luo Jun didn''t recognize it, he instinctively felt a powerful aura. , as if these patterns represent some ancient and mysterious existence.
This is definitely not a normal phenomenon, something is intervening in his death challenge!
Luo Jun was shocked and instinctively took a few steps back. But then, he felt a strange feeling on his face. He stretched out his hand to grab it and found that the Midnight Mask that had not completely disappeared was constantly changing its form. He immediately took it off. I found that the mask, like the wall, was constantly flickering, faintly revealing those ancient lines...
What the hell...
Just when Luo Jun was shocked, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him.
"Haha, we finally meet again..."
Luo Jun immediately turned around and found a woman standing behind him.
The woman was tall and had a pair of wooden clogs on her feet. She was almost the same as Luo Jun, and even a little taller. She was wearing a purple robe, and seemed to have no other clothes underneath. The hem of the robe was hung casually, and a pair of wooden clogs were worn on her feet. long legs Faintly visible; on the slender neck, there is a perfect face without any flaws. The long hair that reaches the ground is scattered casually, and the skewed robe covers part of the body. It looks like a natural laziness. lazy…
"Who are you?"
Luo Jun''s body was full of Ning Yuan Gang Qi, and he was very vigilant and asked about the identity of the other party, although the Midnight Mask in his hand already gave him a vague guess...
"Forgot so quickly?"
The woman tilted her head slightly and chuckled: "According to your calendar, it''s only been more than half a year since we last parted, right?"
As she said that, she hooked her hand towards Luo Jun. Luo Jun suddenly felt that the Midnight Mask in his hand began to struggle violently. Then suddenly, when his hand was released, the mask actually disappeared and flew out through his fingers. All the way to the woman''s hands.
"Have you been wearing it? It seems that you liked the souvenir I gave you very much..."
"Sure enough, it''s you..." Luo Jun took a deep breath: "Midnight..."
How could Luo Jun not remember that it was the first time he set foot in the extraordinary world and encountered the strange existence!
At that time, he just thought that the weirdness underground in the Midnight Hotel was scary, but he didn''t have an exact concept, but it''s different now...
Regardless of the sense of oppression brought by the woman in front of him, the information about Midnight Mask alone was enough to explain the problem.
In front of me is a "mysterious" powerful existence!
