Chapter 75 Everyone Is in Danger
The young woman's voice was filled with tears, conveying a kind of tenderness and fragility that is unique to women.
But the situation she described was terrifying:
"In this copy, there is no so-called good and evil camp at all. Everyone is a plaything! Except for that "ace"... everyone must die!"
...
The water in the vase splashed on Xiao Yang's face.
Some of the ink was washed away with the water flow, but Xiao Yang was still in pain.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and bloodshot spread from the whites of her eyes to her pupils. Black ink jumped freely in her eye sockets, letting tears and blood flow intertwined.
The thorny spider hand stretched out from behind, but there was no way to deal with the weird ink raging in her eyes!
"Is it poison, or a physical attack?"
Jiang Qian stepped forward and held Xiao Yang's cheek, licked the blood and tears flowing from the corners of her eyes with his tongue, and successfully tasted the delicious venom from it.
In the critical situation, Jiang Qian didn't care about ethics and morals, and directly sucked the girl's eyes with his mouth to suck out the poisonous ink.
Xiao Yang's body gradually calmed down in Jiang Qian's arms, and the outstretched spider hands slowly faded, returning to the normal state of a girl.
"Hu... Hu..."
Xiao Yang's body trembled slightly.
Jiang Qian loosened his arms, allowing the girl to sit up straight by herself.
But Xiao Yang obviously hadn't calmed down from the abnormality just now. The moment Jiang Qian let go, she threw herself into Jiang Qian's arms and sobbed.
Didn't you say that you have become indifferent to life and death? Hey... Jiang Qian was a little uncomfortable, after all, he hadn't put on his clothes yet.
It was at this moment that both of them heard the update of the progress of the side quest:
[Side quest update! 】
[Team up to explore the collection room of Duke Hyland, mission progress: 60%]
From 30% to 60%, it seems that we are one step closer to some secrets... Jiang Qian just breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that the copy prompts were not over:
[Mr. Detective, congratulations on your second opportunity to release the trump card skill. You can check the corresponding usage function of any player's trump card while looking through the trump card of that player]
The light above his head began to flicker, and then went out instantly...
[You have 5 seconds to make a choice]
[5, 4, 3...]
Jiang Qian chose Dr. Dai.
So far, this is the trump card he is most curious about.
But the important thing is that when Jiang Qian hears the four words "Mr. Detective", other surviving super-species players will also take action.
Xiao Yang, who has the trump card "Umbrella", cannot protect the same person repeatedly. Last time she chose to protect herself, so this time, the person she can protect is either him or the elegant lady who got the "hammer".
But it is not clear whether "Hammer" is still alive, so Xiao Yang will most likely protect him.
Then this round should be able to land smoothly.
But will the opposing camp use the knife on him?
If her own strong attack card "Hammer" is still alive, who will she choose as the target of attack this time?
These thoughts almost flashed through her mind, and the copy quickly gave him the answer:
[Scalpel]
[You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. In each round of action, you can change the attack and defense attributes of the bottom card ability. When the attribute is "attack", you can directly choose the target to kill; when the attribute is "defense", you can choose the rescue target in the subsequent process. The rescue target does not include yourself. 】
[After the second action upgrade, when the player chooses the "defense" side, the rescue target can include himself. 】
The rule of not being able to save yourself in the first round really exists... Jiang Qian sighed silently.
This situation can be understood. In the first round, Dr. Dai was not considered to suppress the knife, but chose the more flexible "defense" attribute.
In addition, he always felt that Tony Fugui and Dr. Dai seemed to know each other offline.
Although the probability of this is very small...
The first suspicious point is that when Tony Fugui was attacked, except for the healthy man who had exchanged secret signals, the first person he suspected was himself on the left, not Dr. Dai on the right.
The second suspicious point is that after the first round of attacks, everyone was on guard against each other like a frightened bird. But Tony Fugui's defense direction was always towards himself, leaving his back completely to Dr. Dai.
Even if he seriously suspected that he was an official, and he had a blood feud with the official, he would not give up defending others, right?
Experienced players would not make such a low-level mistake.
Just thinking about this, the light came on.
Jiang Qian pushed Xiao Yang and was about to get up, but found that Xiao Yang's body was soft in his arms...
An ominous premonition surged.
"Xiao Yang?"
Jiang Qian supported Xiao Yang's thin shoulders and slowly lifted her upper body.
Heavy.
Following the end of her hair, Jiang Qian caught a glimpse of a bright red mark...
The knife mark was carved horizontally into Xiao Yang's neck, and blood spread out from it, soaking the girl's collar and chest.
Jiang Qian looked at the girl whose face was getting paler and whose eyes were already dull, and did not move for a long time.
His heart was calm at the moment.
It was as calm as a pool of stagnant water in the mountains, sticky and stubborn.
There was only one fact in his mind: Xiao Yang was attacked and she died.
At least she died in the copy.
If the strong man was still alive, then he would most likely attack me and "Hammer", but I have Xiao Yang's protection. Did Doctor Dai attack Xiao Yang? He probably got some clues, so he played a trick on Xiao Yang's protection, and he won... Jiang Qian made a blank expression and reversed the situation.
He put Xiao Yang's body down and continued to collect useful clues.
There was no other choice - the side quest must be completed!
The next time would be a decisive game.
...
The center of the pile of beast bones.
Tony Fugui and Doctor Dai stood back to back, their clothes were tattered and their limbs were covered with scars.
Obviously, they had suffered extremely crazy attacks before.
At this time, the two of them were tense, staring straight ahead for a long time, and then they both breathed a sigh of relief!
"All is well, hahaha..." Tony Fugui laughed.
"Maybe the "hammer" has died a long time ago." Doctor Dai seemed very calm.
"Anyway, the current situation is more favorable to us! Let's go, leave this damn place quickly, I don't want to stay here at this moment! "Tony Fugui couldn't help but touch the scratch on his face and urged again and again.
...
In the forgotten world of jewelry craftsmanship.
The red light was charming, reflecting on the snow-white body, presenting an artistic effect that was unbearable to look at.
...
At the end of the corridor full of scrolls, ancient books, and calligraphy.
In a room with many empty display racks, someone was destroying it.
"The Duke likes to collect. His collections are all over the world, including jewelry, calligraphy and painting, weapons, rare animals, handicrafts..."
Jiang Qian swung the hammer and chiseled the exquisitely carved tiles on the wall without hesitation...
"The mysterious gift, no matter how many times it is returned, will still be accurately sent to the Duke's home. This gift that could not be returned was taken away by the butler Simon, who lived in the Duke's Mansion. After that, the Duke's Mansion began to become weird..."
A secret compartment was revealed in the wall. Jiang Qian debugged the password through a handkerchief and observed the structure inside the password lock through psychic vision.
"The duel between good and evil, the intrusion of a third-party camp, the trump card..."
The password lock was cracked and the secret compartment was opened.
A "red knob" embedded in a human face appeared in front of Jiang Qian.
