Chapter 281: Double Kill
Someone had entered.
Wind poured through the gap in the movable door panel that was only slightly open, but Xu Huo, hiding in the secret passage, heard no sound at all. He sensed the flow of air in the room, and while moving deeper into the passage, grabbed several cloth dolls and threw them toward the movable door panel!
Almost at the same moment, a high-speed chainsaw sliced in through the gap in the door panel. Then the woman kicked the door open and charged into the passage, swinging the chainsaw wildly. But whether it hit the wall or the cloth dolls, the chainsaw left no marks and made absolutely no sound.
Unsure if the other party could see in the dark, the shorter of the twins created an air shear in front of the woman. The shear skimmed along the ground, blocking all the props like cloth dolls or small hats on the passageway.
In the darkness, Xu Huo glanced at the shear, which was slightly different from the ones he had seen before. He turned and left through another exit of the passage, not closing the exit behind him, and tossed a flashlight inside.
The living bear in the corridor heard the noise and charged fiercely into the secret passage with its cloth dolls, and immediately, curses rang out from inside.
Whether it was the living bear or the cloth dolls, they couldn't be killed unless absolutely necessary. The twins' air shears had a limited range—they could block the lower part but not the upper. And the walls of the passage were also hiding cloth dolls. To avoid being eliminated, the two players could only retreat the way they came, squeezing back through the narrow passage into the original room.
Xu Huo certainly didn't want them eliminated either. He returned through the adjacent room, pressing himself against the wall first, and aimed his sword at the movable door panel below.
Two sword energies slashed down in succession, but what they cut were two cloth dolls thrown by the shorter twin. The next second, he himself emerged from the passage, dodging the small hats exploding from the dolls, drew his gun, and aimed at the person on the wall: "Go to hell!"
Xu Huo dodged the bullet, jumped back to the ground, and in a burst of speed rushed in front of the shorter man. He swung his sword, cutting the gun in his hand, then spun and kicked!
"Bang!" The full-force impact against the air shear made a loud sound. Xu Huo looked at the person retreating behind the shear but didn't pursue immediately. Instead, he turned to face the woman coming out from behind.
The longsword and chainsaw clashed silently, sparks flying. Xu Huo twisted his hands, pressing the longsword down against the chainsaw, slashing toward the woman's shoulder. The woman's expression changed slightly, and she retreated repeatedly until her back hit the wall. Using the wall for leverage, she lifted her foot and kicked!
Xu Huo took the kick to the chest, swung his sword backhanded toward the woman's neck, and as she ducked to avoid it, he manipulated the strings to lock around her throat and pulled her up!
At that moment, the shorter man attacked from behind. Xu Huo spun and kicked, knocking the knife out of his hand, and swung his sword at the same time.
Not only was the shorter man's prop sent flying, but his hands were also numbed by the impact. He quickly retreated, pulling two air shears in front of him to block Xu Huo. But just as the shears formed, a sword energy pierced through, effortlessly slicing off his head!
Through the light filtering in from the curtains, the young woman behind saw the shorter man follow in her brother's footsteps, and regret showed on her face. She broke free from the string's restraint, originally intending to flee, but seeing Xu Huo with his back to her, she hesitated for a moment, then patted a figurine doll hanging at her waist, and raised her chainsaw!
Xu Huo seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He turned and clashed with her, sword against chainsaw. After several rounds of fighting, the woman began to retreat, slowly moving toward the door during the fight. But just as she was about to rush out, she suddenly found the door sealed with countless fine threads!
"I really underestimated you! I never thought I'd capsize in a ditch!" The woman turned around, her face full of hatred.
But Xu Huo had no intention of talking to her. He tapped his heels twice on the ground, using the super running shoes to increase his speed, and continuously attacked the woman.
The woman was beaten back repeatedly. Glancing at the small hats scattered near the secret passage entrance, she deliberately tried to lure him over there.
Xu Huo pretended not to notice her intention. During the fight, he knocked off the pink hat she was wearing. When she kicked another small hat toward his feet, he suddenly pulled back, then manipulated a flying arrow to shoot horizontally through her throat, ending the battle.
[Congratulations, player, for killing two black players. You can obtain the killed players' property, props, and tickets. Please receive the player's remains below.]
[Player Nickname: Generation's Enchantress]
[Player Type: Black Player]
[Occupation: Lumberjack]
[Player Level: D]
[Evolution Rate: 32%]
[Property: 123,500 White Notes]
[Basic Trait: Silent Office Worker]
[Props: 1. Goal-Oriented Chainsaw 2. Silencing Figurine 3. Self-Filtering Mask 4. Logging Rubber Boots]
Xu Huo only glanced at the main information. After confirming the usage of the props, he took the figurine from the woman's waist. This Silencing Figurine could cover a three-meter radius centered on the user, with a usage time of ten minutes per use and a cooldown of six hours.
It was with this prop that the woman and the twins hadn't made a sound when they entered the room and hadn't alerted the living bear in the corridor.
As for the chainsaw, it could only affect people. When it encountered objects, it automatically gained rubber properties, making it unable to damage them. The filter mask was used to modify appearance, and the logging rubber boots could conceal footprints.
After finishing with the woman, he moved on to the twins.
[Player Nickname: Doraemon]
[Player Type: Black Player]
[Occupation: Imitator]
[Player Level: D]
[Evolution Rate: 30%]
[Trait: Willing Sharing]
[Props: 1. Cold Butcher Knife 2. Self-Study Mirror 3. Sturdy Knee Pads]
This was the shorter one's trait. Xu Huo had seen the taller one's trait earlier—it was "Air Separation." So the air shear trait the brothers used belonged to the taller one, while the shorter one had replicated the other's trait effect through his own trait.
These two traits ranked among the best he had encountered. Whether it was "Air Separation," which combined defense and blockade, or "Willing Sharing," which could acquire others' traits, both had immense potential. Compared to his own and those of previous players, the range of possible applications was visibly broader. Unfortunately, traits couldn't be inherited.
The cloth dolls trapped behind the secret door by the woman had long since gone quiet, but at that moment, footsteps came from behind the door. He quickly disposed of the two corpses on the ground, activated the Silencing Figurine, and hid on the windowsill outside.
Three people walked out of the secret passage one after another. The first voice to speak was actually Tang Xiao's: "This room has a strong smell of blood."
"It should have just experienced a fight," another voice, Peng Ru's, said. "When I left, Xu Huo and Jin Chao were here. Even if the game has started, if they were going to meet up, it should be nearby. Could something have happened?"
