As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 504 Protagonist
After Maljie gave the map information to everyone, an accident happened.

Johannesson has a prop that can teleport to a certain area at will through the existing map, only once, and is usually used to backstab the BOSS.

This time he chose to go directly into the tower where the king was.

But Johannesson did not meet the king. Instead, he found a room based on a token left by a companion.

Various medical instruments are displayed in the house.

There was a black mark on the floor, the shadow left when the queen ant was burned to ashes.

Johannesson walked over to the queen ant and held out a small cross.

【Temporary Tombstone】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect: A souvenir for praying for the dead]

【Brief description: Do you believe in the afterlife? 】

He stuck the white cross into the ground.

This is where Shao Hong died.

Then Johannesson took off his hat and bowed.

"Be braver in your next life, but it's better to be more selfish."

He put on his hat, and in a blink of an eye, he was already in the king's room.

Wang sat in front of a game console with tubes inserted into his body.

Ryan wasn't here.

Mingnu is here.

Johannesson wears a monocle that allows him to see some statistical information.

[Wang: I can beat ten of you. I am currently recovering from my injuries.]

[Mingnu: A ghost that controls the power of space, the creator of the Infinite City, has been transformed, her abilities have been weakened, there is something strange in her body, and she is related to someone's ability]

As I said before, this guy Johannesson is very cunning.

He immediately analyzed from Mingnu's information that the thing that trapped Li Nuo's skills was inside her body.

So, he pretended to be confused, scratched his shrinking cheeks and smiled foolishly.

"Ha, that's trouble."

"What's the trouble? Aren't you here just to see me?"

The king stared at him, his eyes showing no indifference, only curiosity.

"Come to kill me?"

"It seems you can't read minds." Johannessen was able to discern the details of his opponent with simple words.

But the king before him was still unexpected.

He thought the King of the Chimera Ants would be very similar to the one in the original Hunter x Hunter, but in fact, there is a huge difference.

Four eyes, cat tail, but damn handsome.

Johannesson didn't know why, but he felt as if he was looking into the eyes of Marger.

It was not until the corner of the king's mouth curled up and he snorted softly that Johannesson concluded in his heart that this king might have something to do with Maljie.

"You also believe in the Mechanical Cult?" Johannessen didn't know why he added the word "also".

"No, I haven't even heard of that thing." Wang was even more puzzled: "What kind of mysterious organization is that?"

"It's just a group of robots..." Johannessen hesitated, "Forget it, it's not important... There is another person who is the same as us who is not here. I guess that person is the ace?"

"Ryan."

Wang Wei nodded invisibly.

"Yeah, he's different. In terms of killing ability, he's probably about the same as me."

"I guess it's some ability of yours that gives him even greater power, like the control of the Charmer?"

Mingnu's hands trembled and she panicked.

Johannesson's inference was correct. The king could use part of the ability of the [Charmer]. The power of the guards after their death would be controlled by it and had been injected into Ryan. The current Ryan was a player of the same level as Phil and Amuro in the "World War".

"The last guard is about to take action, which means that your goal has been achieved and you can take action now."

"Well, what do you think?" Wang wanted to listen, it was just a way to kill time for him.

"Let me ask you a question first, I hope you can answer it."

"Tell me everything you know."

"Are you a player?"

Johannesson knew half of the answer when he discovered that he could explicitly say "player" to it.

"I don't know either." Wang said, "My mother is a player. I inherited some of your abilities, but I'm not one of them, because I can't see the system."

"Then, using the system is a gift from your mother from the 'End Corridor'."

"That's just my guess."

Wang pointed to his head and said, "If I don't use my brain, how can I survive from you?"

Johannesson immediately sorted out the cause and effect.

The king has set his eyes on something that can help it stand on top of the two forces of players and Cairo people.

"It's okay to say it."

The king couldn't read minds, but he was very good at judging people and knew what Johannesson was thinking.

"When she was still a fetus, I could see some things from inside the woman's belly. For example, a group of strange guys transported her here. For example, when she passed through an incomprehensible area (the junction of the corridor), she saw strange trees."

The World Tree... Johannesson also knew about this thing, it existed outside the corridor.

"She seemed to have realized something since then, but I don't know the details. Anyway...she wanted me to live, so she told me everything she knew about you."

Wang paused, his eyes seemed hesitant, but determined.

"Well... Anyway, I knew before I was born that I was just a victim. I can't fight you, nor can I fight against those Cairo people. In front of the extreme group firepower and cunning players, I am a real ant."

Only then did Johannessen feel truly surprised; he had underestimated the king.

It shouldn't exist because it knows the secrets of this world, which are the players.

Destiny is real, and its irrationality suggests that something is writing its story.

If it uses these in turn and modifies its own positioning first, will anything change?

But the prerequisite is that it requires a danger.

The strangeness of this prison script is that it seems unfinished.

There are loopholes in the system.

Exploiting loopholes can create new stories.

The outline of the script can be modified at any time as long as it is not finalized.

Wang changed himself to the "victim" and put the system's main perspective on it. This guy took advantage of the system.

Johannesson narrowed his eyes, understood everything, and took off his hat without hesitation.

"Should we start?"

"The king doesn't intend to take my life before then?"

"I just wanted to try my ability."

Johannesson laughed.

He placed the hat upside down on the ground, and interstellar hunters kept pouring out of it, each of them exuding a faint and dangerous smell of blood.

Before entering Infinite City, Johannessen not only contacted the fifty cheap interstellar hunters, he also took advantage of the convenience of the Cairo Police Department to plunder the nearby people's wealth and used the money to hire the best interstellar hunter in the city.

"Is this this guy?"

A man with sunglasses and long hair asked with a smile.

"Sorry to trouble you all."

As soon as Johannesson finished speaking, Wang and all the interstellar hunters disappeared.

Mingnu was shocked: "Space teleportation!"

Johannesson took her wrist and said, "It would be better if you died."

……

"sharp."

Wang stood in a space made up of a white grid.

It turned its head and looked behind it.

There are about twenty interstellar hunters here in total.

The "Mallock Team" is a notorious interstellar group with excellent combat capabilities. They often cooperate with the "officials" to do some shady work and once destroyed a small country in a certain world.

Their specialty is to place the opponent in an alien space, which is a kind of superpower. If everyone dies, the alien space will squeeze and shrink, crushing all life inside.

The above information went through Wang's mind.

When Meng Zang Jianan was pregnant with it, she investigated the power of the City of Menas and knew how insidious this organization was.

One of the hunters said, "Well, friend, if you are willing to give us more money, we will help you kill that guy."

Wang was thoughtful after hearing this: "A stab in the back of the interests of civilized society?"

"That guy didn't say you were that great when he hired us."

"I haven't started yet."

"You can tell at a glance that our principle is to complete the work as little as possible without getting injured."

"It doesn't matter. At worst I can die here and be buried with you in another dimension."

Wang raised his chin and his neck cracked.

……

Johannesson pressed Mingnu to the ground, put his hand into her abdomen, and took out the doll that sealed Linuo's skills.

He threw the doll into his hat.

【Magician Hat】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect 1: Can hold various items, with the total weight of the items not exceeding two tons]

[Effect 2: Can pull people or objects far away out from inside, can only be used once in the scenario]

[Effect 3: Put the item in your hand and pass it to a designated target. It can only be used once in the scenario.]

[Brief description: The homeless man argued that the bodies came out of the hats he picked up, but the police didn’t believe him. Two days later, the homeless man was hanged]

Ink-black internal organs flowed out of Mingnu's abdomen.

"Does my brother scare you so much?"

Johannesson pulled out an "exorcism" shotgun from his hat, pointed it at the ghost Mingnv, and pulled the trigger!
The bullet was caught by a hand.

The king stood in front of Mingnu.

"grown ups……"

"It's okay, don't talk yet."

The king's tail pierced into Mingnu's wound, and the wound began to repair itself visibly.

"One minute and twelve seconds..." Johannessen was referring to the time it took Wang to enter the alien space and come out: "If I remember correctly, once you enter that space, unless they want to let you out, otherwise..."

"Otherwise you'll be crushed to death." Wang looked at him and said, "Luck is on my side. One of them suddenly became stupid and told me how to get out."

Lowered intelligence? Johannessen's heart skipped a beat as he realized that something terrible might have happened.

"main character……"

"Yeah, the protagonist's halo."

Wang said this coldly, while pulling his tail out of Mingnu's body.

Its tail swung in front of it, and there was a different color in its fur.

"Did you put the poison in her when you pierced her abdomen?"

Johannesson stepped back.

The king held his tail, the slowly changing color of the tail hair reflected in his eyes, and said slowly: "The king of the Chimera Ants in Hunter x Hunter was killed by poison. Do you think this trick of 'human malice' might be my weakness?"

The toxins that invaded the internal organs disappeared instantly.

It looked at Johannesson with an admiring expression on its face. "Would you like to be my bodyguard?"

"If I could, I would, but I'm sorry... I can't be a traitor."

Johannesson had no choice but to refuse. The main mission required killing the king of the Chimera Ants, and the script of the Border Prison could not fail.

"Then do you want to try to kill me with force?"

"..."

"Or, I can let you go now."

"..."

"Or do you still have a backup plan to kill me?"

"..."

"Are you here to erect a tombstone for that woman?"

"..."

"She's such a piece of crap."

Johannesson gritted his teeth, and his calm face suddenly twisted into a hideous one.

[Same fate]!
He was ready to use his life-saving skills.

The ceiling beams suddenly collapsed and hit him right on the head. At this moment, Johannesson's skill, which had not yet been fully activated, was interrupted.

Wang quickly grabbed his neck with great force and Johannesson was unable to break free.

"This……"

Johannesson's eyes widened.

"This is impossible……"

【The Charmer】A person loved by everyone.

If a person who attracts everyone's attention becomes the protagonist of a story, he becomes the "focus person".

[Identity] There are restraints on abilities.

Restraint is a sign of evolution.

“Don’t be surprised at what you see.”

The four eyes on the king's face stared at Johannesson coldly.

Biogas particles are faintly visible in the air.

Johannessen exploded inside.

Wang stared at Johannesson, who had only his head left, and leaned down to help him close his eyes with his hands.

"I lied. That woman named Shao Hong is not a waste. She is outstanding."

……

A crossroads in the central area of ​​Infinite City.

Li Nuo sat on a pile of corpses made of Chimera ants, the walking stick in his hand already stained with dark red blood.

After fighting his way out of the factory, he and a group of thugs encountered a large number of chimera ants on the road. He couldn't remember how many he killed, but there were at least fifty corpses on the hill under his feet and the road behind him.

I didn’t get any rewards, nor did I encounter any treasure chest monsters. My luck is just that good.

The worst thing is that there is an uninvited guest right in front of you.

Ryan.

He was sent out by Mingnu not long ago, and the first thing he did was to find Li Nuo, preparing to chop him off when he had no skills.

The data Li Nuo detected on this guy seemed a bit exaggerated.

He immediately admitted his mistake: "Brother, I am willing to be your little brother. Let's serve the king together, so can we not fight?"

Ryan frowned: "No..."

Li Nuo had no choice but to reach back into the pile of corpses with his left hand to touch the wheel of the bicycle. When he was about to run, there was always a way out... The [Cursed Doll] that Johannesson had got was passed to him.

Ryan recognized this thing. It was he who stuffed the [Cursed Doll] into Mingnu's body.

He immediately guessed that someone was approaching the king.

Ryan immediately drew out the greatsword on his back, leaped onto the pile of corpses, and slashed with the sword to create air blades.

Li Nuo and the corpses were blown away by the huge impact force.

The body was torn apart, and the remains and blood rained down.

Amidst the bloody storm, Li Nuo climbed up from the ground unharmed.

He snapped his fingers, and the [Seal of Albers] in front of him shattered.

"Ha ha……"

【Cursed Doll】

[Effect: Seal the ability of a certain life]

Although I don't know how to remove it, but since it is related to the "curse", it is correct to use the [Holy Cross] to purify it.

In other words, Li Nuo's skills are back.

Tiny magic factors burst out from his skin, blue-green light flickered, and crystal fire rose into the sky with humid air!

Ryan's eyes were dyed blue by the flames, the hot wind blew his hair apart, and he looked at Li Nuo in horror.

"What an exaggeration..."

At this moment, Ryan gritted his teeth and held the sword across his body.

He understood that if he didn't have the mentality of dying together, he might not even be able to seriously injure Li Nuo.

"Come!"

"Ah? Hahaha, here I come."

Li Nuo moved his shoulders, pressed the blood mud on the ground with the soles of his shoes, and instantly activated [Super Speed]!
He disappeared from Ryan's sight.

Ryan is facing a formidable enemy!

too fast!
Ryan is facing a formidable enemy!

Can't feel the breath?

Ryan was facing a formidable enemy.

"..."

Ryan is facing a formidable enemy...

"Ran!?"

……

Li Nuo bumped into a wall, covered his painful face and squatted down. When he looked up, he saw that he had bumped into Cha Bai.

"What's that look?" Cha Bai asked coldly.

"Let me finish pretending..." Li Nuo looked around with a complaint.

Everyone was there except Nanami.

This is the "safe house" that Maljie found. In Infinite City, it is called the "preparation area", which means the supply place before the war.

There is a button here. After pressing it, some of the "teammates" will be teleported directly over.

As I said, it was some of the teammates, so Die, Nanami, and Battle Succubus were luckily excluded.

Xiao Wu and Jellal were dazed like two dead pigs because of the backlash of their skills.

Victor is repairing his arm.

Maljer leaned against the wall and posed.

At first glance, life seems peaceful.

Except for Johannessen, who was sitting naked in the corner.

"I just had an in-depth exchange with Wang."

Johannesson came up with a powerful attack.

Maljie's eyes widened: "Wang is a mature woman?"

Johannesson: “Oh no…”

Li Nuo: "Sir, your taste is quite strong..."

Jellal laughed despite his exhaustion: "Haha... I met a Zerg woman before, and I tried, but..."

Li Nuo took out the [Golden Bead] and blocked his mouth.

Johannesson took this opportunity to tell everything, including the king's situation and... the protagonist's halo.

"According to what you said...you are already dead?" Li Nuo's focus was a little problematic.

What he meant was, brother, if you are already a ghost, I can physically reincarnate you and accumulate some "racial experience points" at the same time.

Johannesson was not so jumpy and explained seriously: "I am having a last burst of energy."

Everyone is puzzled.

Luo Lei said: "John has a passive skill... basically, he puts a part of his body somewhere. If he dies, that part can regenerate, but it can only survive for about an hour... and during this period, if he receives even a little damage, he will die immediately."

This also explains why Johannessen is naked.

Sadly, no one present thought of giving him anything to wear.

But Li Nuo discovered another blind spot. Luo Lei was actually there... He thought that Luo Lei was too short so he noticed him.

Thinking of this, Li Nuo said guiltily: "I'm sorry..."

Luo Lei: "Although I don't know why you apologized...but I feel that you are so annoying..."

Xiao Wu raised her hand tiredly and gave a thumbs up. She was giving a thumbs up to Luo Lei.

Victor: “Okay, let’s get back to the point.”

Old Wei is still calm.

He asked, "Brother Johannessen, are you doomed?"

"Definitely not." Li Nuo said with a smile, "She's quite clever."

Johannesson: "Haha...you're right...if you can finish the script within an hour, I can survive..."

To put it simply, after the script is completed, being hit by a train means the return of life.

But here comes the problem, the goal of completing the script is to kill the king.

Maljie: "According to what you said, that guy has the aura of a protagonist?"

As he spoke, he pushed his nose bridge with his hand, making the gesture of a wise man.

Johannesson: "The one who can suppress the Charmer is the Focuser. The Queen Ant is the Charmer. The Queen Ant's ability was passed on to the King. As part of the 'End Corridor', the King's understanding of the rules of the game is very similar to that of the player, and he even has a more special way of understanding. He used the death of the guards and the reversal of the relationship between the hero and the evil god to trick the protagonist into taking his place."

Everyone looked at Li Nuo.

Li Nuo was puzzled: "What?"

Xiao Wu said weakly: "Did you give birth to a monster with that Meng Zang Jianan behind Cha Bai's back..."

Li Nuo immediately brought the topic back: "In other words, now..."

Maljie: "Miss Chabai, do you want to check what he has done in the past six months?"

Li Nuo: "Shut up!"

[Tip: The preparation area has the effect of attracting enemies. In about fifteen minutes, the Chimera Ant army will surround this place. During this period, you cannot leave~]

The system is very leathery.

Everyone wants to beat the system.

Li Nuo: "Let's get back to the point! Wang now has the 'protagonist halo', so we can't kill him by normal means, but the system's perspective has been deceived by him once, and it won't be so easy to deceive the system a second time."

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Wu: "The protagonist... don't we have a protagonist too... and he's the real one..."

Everyone looked at Li Nuo.

Li Nuo stepped aside consciously.

All pairs of eyes were focused on Cha Bai behind him.

Cha Bai looked at Li Nuo and just gave him a gentle smile.

"Please~"
