As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 503: Lullaby of the Ant Queen
There's something wrong with Xiao Wu's brain.

This was the evaluation given by her junior high school classmates.

Everyone said she was slow to react.

Xiao Wu became autistic because of this.

She later suffered from school bullying.

It's not because she's slow-witted, but because she's beautiful.

Xiao Wu became cheerful because of this.

Later, when she entered the "Endless Corridor", she realized that she was not stupid, but had a problem with her brain.

She had no discomfort in killing people.

But he remained gentle even after killing someone.

In terms of personality, Xiao Wu has an extremely good temper. She doesn't get angry easily and treats everyone equally. Even when she is anxious, she rarely uses violence, because violence is a serious matter and if it happens it could cost lives, otherwise it would be a disrespect for life.

This refers to a "fight to the death" in general, otherwise Li Nuo and Maerjie would have been forced by her to sign a life-and-death contract for a duel.

"That's all."

In front of Xiao Wu was a mechanical life form, and she saw the information they observed from its detection screen.

A small robot sneaked into the area below the tower.

There it hopped and slid along the corridor and found a laboratory with a sign that read "Synthetic Biology Technology."

After rolling into the ventilation duct, I saw this scene.

storehouse.

A large number of Chimera Ants are unloading from the warehouse.

The cargo is "people".

The capable "Star Hunters" or "Cairo Starmen" in the city were mounted on tracks marked "Soldier Training".

Chimera ants work as efficiently as a group of robots, creating a factory operating system in just a few hours.

When Infinite City first appeared, the virus bugs knocked out the attached people. Chimera ants collected these people and transported them in batches by truck to the underground mining factories left behind by "Gorilla Enterprises". There were four factories in total, which were very deeply hidden. That was where Li Nuo was.

There are several chimera ant-like natives in the factory who are specifically responsible for selecting who will be "food" and who will be "soldiers".

In the king's team, there is an indigenous Chimera Ant who has the ability to dig holes. With the help of Mingnu's space surgery, he opened a transmission link in the factory and transported the resources that could be used as "soldiers" here. Finally, an indigenous Chimera Ant named "Kumiku" was transformed into a "monster" that can fight.

There are two purposes for setting up the arsenal here.

First of all, this place is closest to the tower where the king is, separated only by a road.

Once someone invades this place, a large army can immediately come out from the "arsenal" to protect the king.

Secondly, in the central area of ​​Infinite City, the roads are well connected, making it convenient to transport monsters to designated locations.

Xiao Wu sorted out all the information and nodded.

"Yeah, I got it."

I don't know what she understood.

"Anyway, it's only right to kill that Kumiku, right?"

The mechanical life form that infiltrated over there sent a signal.

It was caught.

Kumiku stuffed it into a meat ball.

Then, Kumiku's hands became as big as elephant ears, and he spread his five fingers and pinched the meat ball, eventually making a humanoid monster with the head of a mechanical lifeform but the body of a woman.

[Chimera Ant Ability: Performance Artist]

Maljie cracked Kumiku's message and passed it to Xiaowu.

[The lost beggar, who calls himself a performance artist, once had the most daring artistic creation, which was to nail his ○○ to the ground. Because his butt was facing upwards, he was beaten by a gay man... Anyway, it was an unbearable experience. Anyway, after he became a Chimera Ant, he awakened a new ability, which was to knead pieces of meat into the image of the creature he imagined.]

[There are enough people in the city of Menas, many of whom can be used as soldiers, but those who become soldiers also indicate that they are dead.]

Kumiku looked at the newly-minted "mechanical lifeform long-legged woman" and smiled.

"You have a sturdy upper body and a slender lower body. You are neither human nor machine, but a fusion of all things. I'll call you 'Picasso'."

"What can this guy do?" A Chimera Ant who was transporting things nearby asked, "Brother, can you please not make things too weird? It's inconvenient to fight like this."

Kumiku looked at the guy who left after complaining about him and clenched his teeth. The past events of being ridiculed before becoming a Chimera Ant came to his mind.

"Kill it."

The modified mechanical life form walked over.

Blood was everywhere.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Kumiku looked at his work and laughed crazily.

“Art, this is art!”

The mechanical lifeform with its back to him was trembling.

"I, I can't, I can't listen to you..."

Kumiku felt strange: "Huh?"

The mechanical lifeform's round red eyes stared at the blood on the ground, and its whole body began to tremble.

"I, the leader, I, the leader, the leader, the leader, the leader!"

"Failure?"

Kumiku wondered, he had never failed in becoming a Chimera Ant Queen.

Suddenly, the sound of metal machinery rubbing against each other was heard, and the mechanical lifeform turned around and attacked Kumiku.

Kumiku clenched his hands together, and the mechanical life form he created returned to a ball of flesh.

There was a pop.

The mechanical life form rolled out of the meat ball.

Kumiku angrily picked up the wrench and smashed it.

"I created you, you should believe in the King, forget those bullshit ideas!"

The little mechanical lifeform's eyes lit up with a gentle light, and finally it saw the leader's back.

[Location locked]

Xiao Wu stood up and pulled the magic bow.

The place where Kumiku was was pierced by a magic arrow, and Kumiku's upper body was in the dust.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

He howled in pain, and his lower half flew out onto the street, where a passing wild dog, who had been transformed by him, feasted on him.

"Kill, kill the attacker!"

"it is good."

Xiao Wu's head was chopped off by an axe.

Ekrons, a warrior of the race of the Mirage Guild, a tauren.

"A sneak attack archer has been killed."

I heard my companions shouting in the distance.

"She is Muto Sora!"

"Muto Sora?"

Aiklangs looked at Xiao Wu's headless body, his face suddenly changed, and there was no kill panel!

An arrow flew over from a distance, spinning like a cannonball and crushing Ekrons' body!

The wind blows.

Xiao Wu's body disappeared.

Her real body was on the rooftop of a building one kilometer away.

The same skill as Shao Hong, [Clone].

As a lone wolf player with a mercenary nature, this kind of life-saving trick is indispensable.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her nose had already smelled the stench of money that would be put into her pocket in the future.

"A spinning violent arrow, 5000 gold coins per shot... I have to ask Mr. Li for the money."

Although his last name is Li, Sauron’s last name is also Li.

The ground beneath my feet suddenly cracked.

A fishy wind wrapped in gravity magic rushed up.

Gravity was like a giant hand grabbing her slender ankle and pulling her down.

"It's over... I was finally found."

She fell into the magic pool used to disintegrate flesh and blood.

Sanka, Santayo and Sankras, the three Chimera Ant brothers are lying in ambush here.

They were the first people to discover Xiao Wu. The energy after Du Jiu's death spread to the three of them. Unlike the Centaur Chimera Ant, the strength of the three of them was not enhanced, because Du Jiu was the type who would not face the enemy head-on. The three of them had their abilities enhanced in terms of hiding their aura and setting traps.

"Muto Sora..."

Sankha is the eldest brother among the three, and feels a little regretful.

"The beauty is gone just like that."

He waved his hand, and the Chimera Ant players who were lying in ambush in the corridor above appeared. There were twelve of them in total. They all took out sophisticated firearms similar to electromagnetic rays and fired at the magic pool that Xiao Wu had fallen into.

The electric current surged into the sky, pushing the falling rain back into the dark clouds.

Xiao Wu's entire body was already buried within the magic pool and the light dust of electromagnetic rays.

Santayo clasped his hands together, and a long black dragon jumped out of the magic pool he created. Hundreds of eyes opened on its black body, absorbing the energy from the magnetic rays.

The third brother, Sankras, snapped his fingers, and a big bell fell from the sky. The magic pool and the long dragon were covered by the bronze bell.

The big bell shook.

Boom-!
The sound of thunder and magic erupting inside.

The bell shattered, and Xiao Wu fell into the black magic pool, splashing sticky black water.

But the three brothers all looked unhappy.

Not dead yet...

Xiao Wu reached out her hand from under the fragments of the ancient bronze bell, grabbed the edge of the magic pool, propped herself up, and walked out.

She was still wearing her Winnie the Pooh pajamas, but half of her bloody face could be seen beneath the black water stains. The skin on both sides of her cheeks was gone, her sharp white teeth were exposed in the air, and a strong smell of blood emanated from her mouth.

Xiao Wu remained calm and straightened her body. She untied the straps of her ponytail, letting her long black hair fall down. The straps in her hand turned into a scimitar.

Everyone who saw this scene felt their throats rolling and their backs chilled.

Santayo murmured: "Why don't you die..."

The pixel-repaired spots on Xiao Wu's skin told them the answer.

For high-level players after level 80 in the "Endless Corridor", there are two most terrifying things. One is the props and skills with strong unexpectedness, such as [Serious Step Back], and the other is the repair ability of the "Funny World". Although it will consume a great price, this trick was taught to her by Dumbledore.

Xiao Wu raised her head.

One by one she fell from the top of the floor.

There were ten of them, looking down at Xiao Wu who was standing on the edge of the magic pool.

At this moment, all the players or Chimera Ants participating in the siege on her were in confusion and fear.

She sprinted forward with the scimitar in hand, and for a moment the building was in chaos, with blood and broken limbs flying everywhere like waste.

at the same time.

One kilometer away.

Above the pavilion where Xiao Wu was beheaded.

She still sat there.

This is her true nature.

The magic bow and clothes were still on her body, and she had not touched them at all.

As a lone mercenary, how could she possibly go deep into dangerous areas?

Shao Hong's [clone] can only create one of herself, but she can create more than ten... and they are the kind that can inherit weapons and skills.

"Hmm...Okay."

Xiao Wu stood up, bent down to pick up the magic bow, stretched herself, and faced the falling rain, looking beautiful and charming.

The magic bow unfolds, and the longbow form is sniper aiming.

This bow was obtained from Dumbledore when she was doing the "Ikaros" DLC mission. It is an epic equipment.

The slender fingers were placed on the faintly visible bowstring.

Charge three levels.

The whole body burst into red light.

A spinning silver arrow appeared on the string.

Xiao Wu closed her eyes, and [Sniper's Sky Eye] expanded its perspective, locking onto Kumiku, whose position she had just marked with a bow and arrow.

This guy is gluing his body together with the help of a chimera ant.

"It's over buddy."

Xiao Wu licked her lips, turned on the communicator to contact Maljie, and released the bowstring.

"This arrow is worth fifty thousand."

Kumiku's head was pierced by a silver arrow and turned into blood foam.

He is not a player, so there is no reward for killing.

[The Chimera Ants' military factory was hit by a hundred arrows]

The information resounded in the ears of all players.

The three brothers who were fighting with Xiao Wu's clone were stunned.

During this time, all the clones returned to their positions, went back into Xiao Wu's body, and recovered their magic power.

She pulled the string of the magic bow again and looked around. A large ring appeared in front of the bow, locking all the creatures created by Kumiku.

"Marjie, prepare some gold coins for me."

Loosen the bowstring.

The drizzle in the sky turned into flying arrows and fell into the city like meteors.

One man becomes an army.

If the equipment was all there, she wouldn't mind killing all the nearby Chimera Ants.

At this time, Maljie was in a panic.

Oh shit, is Xiao Wu so strong?

Xiao Wu is showing off to him.

"I called a meteor shower. I will probably hear a warning from the system in ten seconds."

Countdown, eight...

"For example, a lot of lives disappeared."

three……

"Or it could be a warning to the king that his army is going to lose."

one……

[Hero 5833 (Xiao Wu) releases a stream of arrows, and the army created by Kumiku becomes the target of attack]

Marjie: "Humph..."

He snorted instead of expressing shock.

Xiao Wu didn't understand the deeper meaning and felt unhappy.

Because she had used up all her magic power and was too lazy to replenish it and continue fighting, she simply leaned against a pillar to rest.

Conveniently, I drew the reward for killing the [Invader], and I was lucky enough to get a [Heating Ball] the size of a fingernail.

The meteor rain and the light from the fireplace brightened Xiaowu's cheeks. The shining lines danced on her lovely cheeks, and finally, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"I will blackmail them severely when I return."

【Meteors fall like stars】

Above the street, countless points of light fell.

The Chimera Ants looked at the shining light in the sky, each of them in a daze. One unreliable guy even closed his eyes and made a wish: "I hope for world peace."

boom--!
Arrows constructed with magic power pierced through the monsters created by Kumiku.

[The weak died or were seriously injured on the spot][The strong were restricted in their movements]

[Kumiku's death caused them to be unable to make the right choice after being attacked, and... the Chimera Ants' arsenal was paralyzed]

[Charicos disappears, the barrier protecting the king disappears]

[Du Jiu died, the leader who protected the resource library is gone]

[Dujuan dies, the most courageous guard, the god of war of the Chimera Ants falls]

[The brave have a great advantage]

[The evil god's army is about to be defeated]

A large hole was knocked out in the wall of a building.

The pillars inside collapsed into a bridge.

Cha Bai flew out of the cave, stepped on a pillar, and crushed a bug he had just caught with his backhand.

【Zero Axe Hammer】Returns.

She gritted her teeth and swung the hammer hard, smashing a dark green lizard creature that rushed out!

At this moment, Cha Bai was breathing heavily.

His whole body was covered in dust, there were bloodstains at the corners of his eyes, and his right eye was tightly closed due to injury.

The Chimera Ants, the incarnations of the indigenous people, were no small characters either. They surrounded her and attacked her one by one, and there were also strange creatures created by Kumiku chasing them. She was having a great time killing them.

"come!"

Cha Bai roared like a man.

Then there was the sound of an engine beneath his feet, and the cry of a mechanical lifeform: "Here!"

A black truck that Maljie got from somewhere was speeding past below, and Chabai jumped onto the roof.

Just as Ma opened the car window to say hello, he saw a giant creature chasing after him. It was a statue of a goddess with insect legs, more than 20 meters long, and it overturned a building and chased after him.

"What is this!"

"It keeps chasing me!" Cha Bai yelled, "Close the window!"

The moment Maljie closed the car window, Chabai opened the [Encyclopedia of Dark Magic], the pages turned, and the white paper remained.

A red ball of fire rose from the book.

Dazzling red.

[Sage Magic: Fireball (Crystal Magic Enhancement)]

Cha Bai turned his wrist, blew hot air and blew the fireball out with a hammer!

Malger silently used the ability of "Scholar" in the carriage to increase the power of the fireball by one level.

A huge fireball slammed into the pursuing goddess statue, and rocks rained down on it. It somehow stumbled backwards and fell into the street.

"Ha... finally I'm not chasing you anymore."

Cha Bai breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and stepped into the trunk of the car.

"Just now, a bunch of meteor arrows appeared in the sky and broke the feet of the goddess statue..."

Maljie sat cross-legged in front of the computer. If the person in front of him was not Chabai but a stranger, he would adopt another sitting posture to show off.

"Xiao Wu did it."

"Amazing……"

Cha Bai was shocked.

"What are you and Li Nuo going to do when you return?"

Malj was shocked.

"Oh yeah... we tortured her for half a year..."

Ma Ge was planning to discuss with Li Nuo whether he should trouble Xiao Wu's brain here or kneel down to Xiao Wu after returning.

Cha Bai knew them well and said immediately, "Stop causing trouble for others."

"Humph……"

He handed the medical beaker with a handle on the table to Cha Bai.

The cup was filled with dark brown liquid.

"Coffee, I guess."

"You should learn something from Li Nuo." Maljie slapped himself in the face as soon as he finished speaking: "He is not good."

Cha Bai twisted the beaker: "It's hard to say."

"Hmph, the Pope's little boy is in the eyes of the beholder." Maljie's fingers flew quickly on the virtual keyboard.

"The map data that the little boy from the Pope gave me has been cracked. There are several roads in the Infinite City that Mingnu cannot modify. They lead to a 'safe house'."

[Brave 5899 has discovered the location of the "Maintenance Area"]

[The evil god's army is becoming more and more dangerous]

The safe house is a small red house icon on the map, less than one kilometer away from their hearse, but the route is complicated, so driving there will be slower than expected.

Cha Bai raised his eyes.

"It feels so strange..."

"Are you saying we were too clean and efficient?" Malger asked.

Cha Bai sat on the chair made of magic elements, with her legs crossed like a lady, nodded, and then shook her head.

"No... Theoretically, all of us are at a certain stage in the corridor... To put it shamelessly, we are at the top level. Facing a guild of thirty people and a group of creatures whose physical fitness cannot reach the higher-dimensional world, it is not difficult to break through their obstruction."

"The question you are thinking about is what the king is going to do?" Malger took over the conversation: "Don't worry about the king's affairs for now, where is my Emir?"

He was referring to Emile's van.

Cha Bai: "Oh, it was crushed by the goddess statue."

Maljie was silent for two seconds.

"Oh! My Emile!"

Cha Bai frowned: "Do you really need to..."

Maljie's expression changed in an instant, and he returned to his pretentious attitude: "Humph, you have to show the minimum respect for objects. This is the principle of a maintenance engineer."

Cha Bai had never heard of this principle.

Maljie's tablet suddenly beeped.

"very good."

"how?"

The tea is white and strange.

Maljie said: "I have completely cracked the map and passed it to everyone. I don't know what difficulties are waiting ahead. Everyone should do their job. Those who are capable should come and meet at the 'safe house'."

At this moment, the surrounding buildings suddenly split and crashed into them!

"Miss Chabai, caught!"

Malger yelled.

"The other party has started to attack us again!"

The car started quickly, and a group of mechanical life forms pushed the car from behind to speed up and avoid the buildings that had sprung up!
Maljie held the car speaker, put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Hahaha! You can't catch me!"

Cha Bai looked at this guy with an idiotic look and thought to himself: It's not you who's driving...

"By the way, who's driving?"

A wooden board was thrown over from behind the curtain of the main driver's seat, on which was written: "Recently changed company, this car is a hearse."

Gorilla Driver...

Cha Bai couldn't hold it in any longer... Why did the gorilla driver have a special liking for driving trucks?

If the gorilla driver knew that she treated the hearse as a truck, he would also be unable to hold back.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound from Luo Lei's side, and his voice was heard by everyone wearing a headset.

"Johnathan...he, he went to find the king!"

……

when~
Mingnu's fingers plucked the shamisen like butterflies.

"My Lord...they are so fast."

What she meant was that the gorilla drivers were so skilled at drifting the hearse that even Naruto's control of the Infinite City couldn't keep up with them.

Wang asked while playing the game, "You want to move them to a location far away from me, right?"

Mingnu: "Well, the guards are no longer able to do anything. Soldiers alone can't stop them for now."

This Mingnu is a little different from the original one. In order to allow her to adapt to the sunlight and have independent emotions, Ryan weakened her ability to transfer space.

Otherwise… Infinite City is indeed large, but it is not so large that Mingnu cannot control it.

Wang said: "The Chimera Ants are a group that sounds powerful, as if they can combine all their abilities, but in fact they are only half-baked. This result is inevitable."

Wang stopped pressing the keys.

"What do you think, Ryan?"

Ryan sat next to him, holding the game controller motionlessly.

"I……"

"You are wondering, what is our king, our evil god, doing?"

Ryan mute.

Wang glanced at him and chuckled.

“Accidents happen.”

"But they are all dead."

"You're angry."

"Correct."

"I see."

The king had a blank expression on his face and his pupils trembled.

"When that woman gave birth to me, she gave me a part of the ability called [Charmer]. It seems that it is really only a part of it. That ability was suppressed by the genes of the Chimera Ant race."

The power of [Charmer] is ostensibly to make people develop "emotions" towards the user, but in reality it is the ability to control. For example, after each guard dies, energy will be generated and attached to other guards of the same kind. This is the virus left behind by [Charmer].

"What do you mean?" Ryan felt that there was something else behind the words, or that the king's plan was more far-reaching than he thought.

"Ryan, think about why you are angry." Wang said.

"My companion died...but it could have been avoided." Ryan said what was in his mind without thinking.

Wang agreed: "Yes, they are no match for those guys. You are the only one who is different. You are a strong man in the same echelon as those 'brave men'."

Ryan bowed his head.

Wang is right.

Now he is confident that he can defeat all the players in his guild by himself.

Ryan is the only different player in "Mirage". He even has the confidence to compete with the champion of "World War", but now it's too late.

"Also, if you take action..."

The king interrupted him and said, "But I am injured. If I die, you won't even have the possibility of resurrection."

Ryan: “You…”

Wang: “Okay, we can start now.”

The memories in Meng Zang Jianan's stomach flooded into its mind.

She spoke to it.

……

[The train passed through my life]

[Like noisy eggs flocking to new life]

[Life is mixed with chaotic consciousness, and continues to move forward with endless darkness]

[I carefully peered into the mirror and saw a big tree standing at the dividing line of the world]

[From this moment on, I began to doubt the starting point of life, and I felt a chill to the bone]

【That is the fruit of destiny】

[That is the brushstroke that controls us]

[As a mother, I can only give you this. You were not born ordinary, and the wolf-like malice will always follow you.]

[Give up the instinct of hunting, and use the nutrition of death to nourish the hope of new life]

【Become the protagonist】

……

The king's memory was interrupted, and there was an extremely strange touch deep in the four eyes.

"Ryan."

"Please, please..."

"You come from farther away, what are you called here?"

"Intruder."

"Let me ask you, what did the heroes do?"

"They killed my companions..."

Ryan's mind was filled with the shadows of his companions, one figure after another shuttling back and forth in his mind. They were a group of comrades who would share life and death with him even if they were bastards.

"Charicos was trying to protect you until the last moment, Dujiu was willing to commit suicide for you, and Dujuan was willing to be the first to face the enemy, even though they knew they would die..."

Ryan blamed himself.

"Ryan."

"You, please say."

"From our perspective, where is this place?"

"territory."

"Who invaded our territory and massacred our people?"

"It's a brave man."

"Ryan, who is the [intruder]?"

Ryan stared with wide eyes at his king, the high and mighty king sitting next to him like a partner.

"Is it... a hero?"

Wang took a deep breath, lowered his head and closed his eyes.

“Everything is already established.”

It said as it opened its eyes.

"Ryan, has your system changed?"

……

【Camp Change】

[The brave one is the invading party]

[The Evil God's Path to Becoming the Protagonist]

……

Underground factory.

Li Nuo stopped moving the citizens.

Li Luoli Luo's foot was hit, and he pouted and said unhappily: "What are you doing!"

But it immediately saw a strange burst of emotion in Li Nuo's pupils.

"I see……"

Li Nuo stared upwards, took out the thermos cup, rubbed the cup to open the lid, and gently drank the hot tea.

"Because I am being watched covetously by all the forces, I know that I cannot escape from danger, and I am also afraid of being controlled by the terrible creatures of fate. The only way I can think of to break the iron rule of fate is to become the protagonist..."

His throat rolled, the thermos cup left his lips, and a faint smile stretched out at the corner of his mouth.

This is an unprecedented opponent.

But the way to break the shackles of "higher-dimensional life" is not that simple.

"I'll play with you till the end."
