Chapter 859: Xu Huo's Hallucination
(To be revised later) The fleeing player was originally moving between floors using a prop, but unexpectedly stepped onto the 101. Unable to break through this game metal prop, and seeing Xu Huo beside him, he raised a crossbow and aimed at him!
The crossbow didn't shoot solid arrows, but a kind of semi-transparent ice that pierced the wall and quickly melted!
"The person I'm looking for isn't you," Xu Huo stated his position. But because of this brief delay, the pursuing player had already come down from upstairs. Just as a pair of feet appeared, they were knocked away by a strange force, carving a deep trench in the ceiling before stopping at the wall.
The next second, two people and a stone lion landed on the same floor as Xu Huo and the others.
"Big Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu called for the stone lion to pounce, while simultaneously taking out a muscle doll sticker and pressing it onto her face. Her speed instantly skyrocketed, making her as fast as an uncatchable cannonball as she crashed toward the person by the wall!
That player clearly didn't take her reckless charging combat style seriously. Patting his shoulder, a blue light arc immediately spread open in front of him. Protected by the light arc, he didn't even spare Yan Jiayu another glance, instead focusing his attention on the stone lion trotting in circles from the side.
However, just as he was about to free a hand to deal with the stone lion, Yan Jiayu, this living bomb, slammed into him—whether she had other invisible defensive props on her or not, but when she crashed into the light arc, she directly drove the player through the wall, and cracks burst out on the light arc at the same time!
"What?!" He couldn't hide his shock, and then the force pushed him to the outermost wall of the building, where he was bounced back by a barrier sealed on the wall.
Yan Jiayu, as the one receiving the force, wasn't as embarrassed. She steadily landed in the middle of the room, swung her demon-subduing pestle, and charged in for a chaotic beating!
With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, a shield prop was cracked. The player quickly dodged, used his trait to briefly limit Yan Jiayu's speed, and then rushed toward Xu Huo!
His real target was the government player who hadn't escaped yet, but just as he was halfway there, a cold light swept in from the side!
The pursuing player quickly sidestepped to dodge, and as he raised his hand, dozens of fine needles shot out from his sleeve.
The air barrier couldn't be used for now, so Xu Huo simply placed the 101 Shelter in front, then retracted it, simultaneously using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" during the attack.
That player immediately felt the prop effects being applied to him. Pressing his sleeve, the clothes he wore opened and closed like scales. After the color of his clothes changed once and returned to normal, the fatigue on his face was gone!
Yan Jiayu and the stone lion joined in. Lazy Big Mao got a hit on its butt, and it vented all its anger onto the pursuing player. Under its pouncing, biting, and tearing, the player was forced back step by step.
"Vase's effect!" The pursuing player threw a cushion on the ground. The flailing Big Mao slipped and stepped on it, one paw stuck to the floor.
But this wasn't very useful. The violence-driven stone lion directly dug a hole in the floor—if it couldn't break free from the cushion, it could just take the floor slab with it.
Big Mao was hard to handle, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were no slouches either. Yan Jiayu fought in close quarters, while Xu Huo used props to assist from the side and occasionally launched surprise attacks. After three minutes of fighting, both sides had taken damage.
Looking up, Xu Huo walked up the stairs. When he reached the third floor, he sensed someone rapidly descending from the middle of the building. Switching to the office floor in a second, he placed the 101 Shelter directly below!
The fleeing player was originally moving between floors using a prop, but unexpectedly stepped onto the 101. Unable to break through this game metal prop, and seeing Xu Huo beside him, he raised a crossbow and aimed at him!

Enduring until dawn, Xu Huo put down his cards and stood up to stretch. He first glanced at the carriage behind him.
Someone came out from the back to use the restroom. When the door opened, he saw several headless bodies in the corner near the back of the carriage, two of which had varying degrees of bite marks.
The female player had already gone to open the front door.
When the commotion happened last night, some players from the front carriage had run out. To guard against them, they had sealed the carriage door. By now, those people were gone.
There was a lot of blood in the aisle, but the front carriage door was completely locked. Even ringing the bell didn't bring anyone to open it, and even the windows were covered tightly.
The female player returned and shrugged. "It can't be that coincidental, just the three carriages at the back, right?"
Obviously, the others also had doubts about yesterday's speculation.
"Ask the attendant," said the player with the broken finger.
The burly player called the attendant. While ordering food, he gave a small tip and inquired about the situation in the front carriage.
But this time, the attendant didn't tell the truth. Instead, he said, "Attendants have professional ethics. I can't casually leak information about other players."
The burly player, who had wasted two thousand White Notes, twitched his face. He touched his pocket, hesitating whether to add more money.
The attendant smiled and left.
The others in the carriage didn't stop or press further.
"What's your deal?" The burly player turned around. "I was gathering information for everyone!"
"Brother, that's not what I meant," Xiao Xianglin said. "Didn't you notice? The attendant who came today was in a bad mood."
"Mood?" The burly player couldn't connect that word with the attendant at all.
"Trust me, reading people is the basic skill of my profession," Xiao Xianglin said confidently.
"Calling him over with that little money early in the morning—no one would be happy," the player with the broken finger laughed.
The burly player's face darkened, and he was about to step forward when the female player said, "You're not going to start a fight, are you? That would be great. No one gets off until tomorrow. If you happen to kill the person who hypnotized everyone, we might all get a good night's sleep tonight."
