Chapter 515: Final Killing Move
Yu Guo was entangled by a group of Black Bracelets.
These people had seen him fight Bai Kou before, and they also coveted the items in his hands. So when he appeared blind, injured, and physically exhausted, their first reaction was to kill him.
"Split the items evenly!" This group struck first, and their combat strength was noticeably higher than those before.
The fight didn't last long before someone among the Black Bracelets recognized Yu Guo and called out to the others, "Hey, his traits are a bit like that doctor from the Eerie Sound Knights."
"So what if he's a doctor?" someone sneered. "Not everyone in a white coat heals people. The Death Doctor Yu Guo of the Eerie Sound Knights spreads infectious diseases everywhere. He once forced a game district to shut down, and it's still a dead zone to this day. How many people died horribly because he released viruses on a whim?"
"People who put bracelets on others and hunt them like lambs—and they have the nerve to sympathize with anyone else?" Yu Guo let out a mocking laugh.
"In the adult world, it's kill or be killed, everyone uses their own methods. But newborn children are innocent. Killing even children and infants—the Eerie Sound Knights' reputation has long been rotten. I heard Rongxin Group was trading supplies with players from outer zones. If you're here, then you're probably the trading partner." The Black Bracelet said, "How ridiculous. District 011 would actually get involved with a bunch of notorious players like you!"
Yu Guo was silent for a moment, then laughed again. "That deal was initiated by Rongxin Group. The problem lies with District 011."
"That doesn't matter." The Black Bracelet took out a palm-sized glass box and pointed it at him. "Once we deal with you, District 011 will naturally handle its internal affairs."
Unable to see, Yu Guo showed wariness toward the item in the other's hand. He tossed out two explosive items, circled forward, and for the first time, threw his scalpel!
"Extreme Imprisonment!" The Black Bracelet didn't dodge or evade. He clapped his hands together, shattering the glass box. Countless fragments flew out, all heading in the same direction. They intercepted the scalpel mid-flight, rapidly crystallizing and freezing it, then struck toward Yu Guo with the item!
Yu Guo moved to dodge, but one fragment still hit his right arm, freezing it instantly. The crystal grew on its own, covering his hand and wrist. Within two seconds, the covered part fell off on its own—truly detached, as if it had been cryogenically cut.
Yu Guo probably hadn't expected the item to be so powerful. He barely managed to fend off other players' attacks, reaching out to grab his hand back, but the Black Bracelet who had attacked was also preparing to retrieve the item. Both of them rushed toward the same target...
"The power of writing." A voice rang out, and everyone involuntarily turned to look at its source.
Xu Huo held a pen in one hand and released the kite string with the other. Before Yu Guo's severed hand's cut surface could be completely sealed, he threaded through and pulled the hand over!
"Looking for death!" The Black Bracelet reacted first, hurling an iron ball through the air!
Although Xu Huo had prepared an item in advance, when the iron ball struck the "Moving Metal," he was still sent flying into the wall along with the item. When he looked up, Yu Guo and the others were already right in front of him!
With a wave of his hand, he used the momentum to retreat through several doors, shutting Yu Guo and the others out one by one. But this was only a temporary measure. Yu Guo and that Black Bracelet weren't so easy to shake off. They smashed through several doors in an instant, and Yu Guo even threw an item at him:
"Dirty Needle!"
"Ding!" The Moving Metal intercepted the needle, but the germs on the needle quickly spread across the metal and drifted through the air toward Xu Huo!
"Absolute Safe Distance!" The B-grade item defended against the poison gas. Xu Huo leaped out from the door, charging straight into the area where players were gathered. As he exited, he used "Familiar Faces Unrecognized" on the Black Bracelet, stacking it with "Misplaced Capture" and "Damage Discount."
"Familiar Faces Unrecognized" naturally couldn't last three minutes on the Black Bracelet, but it effectively delayed his attack. Meanwhile, "Misplaced Capture" helped him avoid one of Yu Guo's strikes. Though he was still grazed by the residual force, the multiple layers of item protection kept him from taking a fatal hit.
Weaving through the crowd, he opened several more doors ahead, delving deeper into his own spiritual world.
Yu Guo and the Black Bracelet followed him in, but as the number of doors increased, they gradually slowed down. Behind the doors, the alternating hospital environment had changed into a long, winding staircase.
"Click! Click! Click!" With the sound of mechanical rotation, circular floors appeared around them. Xu Huo's back figure repeatedly appeared inside the constantly opening and closing doors. The Black Bracelet, who could still see, jumped into a door without hesitation and disappeared. Yu Guo, however, stood still and took out a tuning fork.
Xu Huo couldn't afford to let him use that in his spiritual world. He opened a door directly beneath Yu Guo's feet and sent him out.
The Black Bracelet was trapped in the Library Tower, while Yu Guo was sent back to the Seventeenth Hospital. Xu Huo hid behind a metal wall, not rushing to check his spoils. Instead, he opened the stairway passage and let a group of Red Bracelets through.
Yu Guo was blind and missing one hand, and the crucial item on his wrist was also lost. He fought bitterly against the Red Bracelets for a long time before pulling out a whistle!
Seeing this, Xu Huo's expression darkened. He immediately layered illusions to weaken the sound of the whistle, but the sound waves still pierced through like fine needles.
Within seconds, a massive creature smashed through the hospital floors and charged straight toward him!
The shirtless Whale, carrying a train engine, crashed from the fifth floor to the second, ignoring the players crushed to death by the engine. He looked down at Yu Guo's condition and roared in fury, "Who did this! Come out on your own!"
Xu Huo, who had hidden as far away as possible, felt an urge to walk out under the force of his words. Fortunately, Bai Kou appeared at that moment. She descended from above and swept a kick toward Whale!
"Boom!" Whale, holding the train engine with one hand, leaped up and grabbed Yu Guo as well, retreating ten meters. He stared coldly at Bai Kou.
Bai Kou glanced at Yu Guo. "Oh, what a lovely sight."
Whale ground his teeth. "Was it your people who did this? No matter where you run, the Eerie Sound Knights will remember this grudge!"
Bai Kou let out a derisive laugh. "When you slaughtered the Platinum Eye fleet and seized their weapons, you should have expected this outcome. How does it feel when the knife cuts into your own flesh?"
Yu Guo, held by Whale, barely managed to sit up and said to Bai Kou, "The kid who stole my item must be an instance boss. His evolution rate isn't high—at most a C-grade player. You came from Platinum Eye, so you wouldn't just bring a C-grade player. That means you teamed up temporarily. The person is definitely from District 011. Just investigate the passenger list to find out his identity."
