"Tick-tock——"
"It's starting to rain, Sister Bao'er."
Sun Haoran touched the raindrops hitting his face and reminded the woman beside him.
"I know."
The woman in overalls lowered the brim of her hat and responded calmly, "I'm wearing a hat, so I'm not afraid."
"Actually, I wanted to say that I have an umbrella here."
As if by magic, Sun Haoran stretched out his hand and pulled out a small black umbrella from somewhere.
An unfinished bottle of water accidentally hung out from the umbrella hook.
He hurriedly caught the water bottle spinning in the air, trying to make the atmosphere less awkward.
Speaking of which, meeting Feng Baobao was just an accident tonight.
He was just aimlessly searching for clues about the out-of-control hybrids in this city, and then he happened to feel two auras chasing each other nearby, so he went over to take a look.
"It's all your fault. I finally caught that man, but he ran away."
Feng Baobao complained.
She followed Xu San all the way chasing the 'clue' and came here. She was about to catch the target when Sun Haoran's appearance interrupted her movements. Because this guy appeared too suddenly, she subconsciously felt the danger. Breath, so he almost cut the guy in front of him with a knife.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean to do it."
Sun Haoran scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Now that we have determined that the target we are looking for is nearby, it is only a matter of time before we find him. Don't worry."
"I know."
Feng Baobao said, "By the way, why are you here?"
"Don't I have something to investigate?"
Sun Haoran replied, "And I think the things we want to investigate are probably the same, so we can cooperate?"
"Do you know what I'm looking for?"
Feng Baobao flashed the kitchen knife in his hand, his eyes becoming a little dangerous.
She has always been single-minded in doing things. Xu San has been nagging in front of her that the work of temporary workers is kept confidential. At present, the only people who know about this matter are him, himself and the unrecognizable head of the execution department.
Although she was not very good at reasoning, she knew without thinking that the guy in front of her could not be the head of the execution department.
"Who told you?"
"Minister of the Execution Department, Yue Xiao."
Sun Haoran reported Yue Xiao's name.
But Feng Baobao still tilted his head and looked confused.
"Who is Yue Xiao? I've never heard of it. But the director of the execution department seems to be right again, forget it, I believe what you say for now.
You don't seem to have the guts to lie to me. "
After saying that, she had an expression like 'I know this kid very well'. Speaking of which, this guy did join the company because of her. She had watched him grow up, although in fact she hadn't paid much attention to him.
"Forehead……"
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Sun Haoran's forehead.
"Sister Bao'er, is this how you usually perform tasks?"
It seems like you don’t think much at all and just judge things based on your feelings...
"Yeah, am I smart enough?" Feng Baobao said confidently, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore, I'm going to continue chasing people."
As he spoke, Feng Baobao's figure became blurry, and the bright kitchen knife in his hand drew a long light and shadow in the dark night.
"..."
Sun Haoran looked at Feng Baobao, who had no intention of cooperating with him, and scratched his head.
This person is still going his own way as always. By the way, carrying a kitchen knife and wandering around on the street at night won't scare those innocent little cuties who stay up all night, right?
······
"Damn it, who is it that wants to murder me?"
Apart from uttering such incompetent rage, Lu Mingfei seemed to be unable to do anything. He could only continue this inexplicable escape, knowing nothing about what would happen next. I don't even know when is the right time to use the only 'cheating password'.
He felt like he was playing "Dark Souls" which required one life to pass at one level. It was absolutely amazing! The most important thing is that the guide is so incomplete. I don’t know anything about it except where the end point is. I don’t even know whether the NPC is good or bad. It seems that I can go up and get an A? But who can he beat with his level 1 body? What a fuss! ?
"Hahaha--"
Finally unable to run any longer, Lu Mingfei slowly stopped, holding his knees with both hands and breathing heavily.
He looked around at the dark surroundings. There were still street lights, buildings, shadows, but nothing else.
This made him think that he was being teased.
After all, if you think about it carefully, who would be so bored that he would stay awake in the middle of the night and come here to kill him?
But……
"Tick-tock——"
When a raindrop hit his head, Lu Mingfei shivered uncontrollably.
"Hell, it's really raining."
The boy's words came back to him again in his mind.
The unknown mysterious boy came to tell him in advance that there was danger, and he could probably guess from the words that the danger occurred on a rainy night.
"Warm reminder, the game has officially begun. I wonder if you, brother, have time to go home~"
As if confirming his conjecture, the chat box appeared in front of him again.
"Gan! Aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
Lu Mingfei roared in his heart, he no longer had the strength to shout.
Although the distance from the Internet cafe to home is not far, it is still several kilometers away. For a weakling like him who can barely pass the 1,000-meter physical exam, it is simply unrealistic to finish the run in one go.
This 'game' seems destined to be one he cannot escape.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Lu Mingfei could no longer care about it. He continued to run slowly towards home despite the rain.
At this moment, he did not dare to doubt the authenticity of this 'death game'. Whether it was the chat box clearly visible in front of him, the level numbers above his head, or the heavy rain predicted by the other party through the illusion, he could not question it.
He even began to miss his aunt's nagging voice, and he wished he could get home immediately and be scolded by her. After all, it is better to be scolded than to be burped. Anyway, he is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. The worst he can do is take a shower and roll to bed after being scolded.
The drizzle of rain swept across the sky, and it was exactly the same as the illusion he had seen before. Even the force of the raindrops hitting his body made him almost unable to feel any difference.
Fear began to spread in Lu Mingfei's heart. Although the rain was far inferior to the typhoon he experienced in junior high school, it made him feel suffocated like never before. He didn't know whether it was because of the exhaustion of continuous running or because of the soaked clothes on his body. Heavy, he felt as if fate was holding his throat at this moment, and it seemed that he would die in the next moment.
Then suddenly, his path was blocked.
He didn't know when this person appeared, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Wearing a work uniform, his figure could not be seen, and his lowered hat was turned black by the rain. The most eye-catching thing was the kitchen knife that was shining brightly in this man's hand.
"GG."
Lu Mingfei looked at the person in front of him holding a kitchen knife blocking the road, and played GG amidst the laughter.
