Chapter 193 Xiaofu
The red driver looked around the bushes and slowly stopped, his chest heaving up and down due to his heavy breathing.

I was in such a hurry when I was running away just now that I didn't pay attention to the location of other people and got separated without realizing it.

He held a mission battery in his hand, with Pokémon such as Charmeleon and Pichu guarding him at his feet.

These little guys had been trained and did not make any sound, but they were in a very depressed mood as they had just witnessed their companion Infernape being brutally killed.

The driver touched his Pokémon with mixed feelings. The hellish thing was that the battlefield was full of dangers and there were too many things that were difficult to understand.

Dying cleanly might not even be the worst outcome.

After a brief moment of sadness, the driver's expression became serious again and he began to think about countermeasures.

The killing field will not issue missions that will result in certain death. There must be one or more ways to complete the mission.

Maybe just like what Ant said, there are some clues in the grass that players have not discovered yet.

Maybe the No. 2 battery is in Cliff's stomach and he has to be killed to make it explode.

Of course, no matter what the final outcome is, the top priority is to find other people to join up.

Rustling——

The bushes in front of him were suddenly parted, and Zhao Zijing, who looked exhausted, appeared in sight. The soles of his shoes were suspended two or three centimeters above the ground, as if he didn't want to leave footprints.

"It is you."

The driver breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice, "Where are the others?"

"We haven't found it yet." Zhao Zijing said calmly: "Take the battery and let's go together."

Zhao Zijing took out the radar navigation device and looked at the direction. Then he gestured to the driver to follow and walk diagonally to the side of the blue arrow on the navigation device.

The driver and the remaining Pokémon hurried to catch up, afraid of getting separated again if they weren't careful, "Aren't you going back to that clearing?"

"No. We only have one battery, so it would be useless to go."

Zhao Zijing explained without even turning his head: "Instead of doing this, we should take advantage of the time to explore the bushes and look for other clues."

Before he finished saying the word "索", the Pokémon at the driver's feet all used their skills, and wind blades, lightning, fireballs, flying leaf knives, etc. blasted towards Zhao Zijing.

Boom!
All kinds of attacks were blocked by the invisible barrier formed by telekinesis. Zhao Zijing stood there unharmed. He turned around with cold eyes and looked at the red driver who was fleeing backwards holding the battery.

She raised her arms and swung them to both sides, and the tall grass in front of her immediately moved away like Moses parting the sea.

The driver who was hit by the telekinesis also lost his footing and fell into the mud pit along with the mission battery.

The Pokémon on the side immediately tried to fight back, but Zhao Zijing directly used telekinesis to control the driver's hands, forcing him to take out the Poké Ball and put away all the Pokémon.

And smash the Poké Ball switch, making it impossible for the Pokémon to escape.

After doing all this, Zhao Zijing stepped forward, looked down at the riders in the mud pit, and asked calmly, "Why did you attack me?"

"You're not Zhao Zijing, at least not the one I know."

The driver gritted his teeth and said, “I have a skill that allows me to observe whether the opponent has killed someone recently and accumulated karma.

The original Zhao Zijing had no karma, but you do.

If you didn't kill Cliff, then you just killed someone else."

Zhao Zijing frowned and said, "Just because of this?"

"More than that." The driver clenched his fist and said, "When Cliff first showed up, he had quite a lot of injuries on his body, and he also said 'who should be killed this time'.

In addition, in the earth pit where the mummy of [Bismuth Yellow] was located, Ants and their companions claimed to have seen two Catherines. One Catherine was chopped in half by an unknown entity in front of them, and her body was also taken away.

Combining this information, the entire tall grass is really like what Ant said, a time loop mode similar to "Ghost Ship".

At the same time, there are more than two groups of us players.

The Zhao Zijing I know would not have been able to kill her companions in just a few minutes.

In other words, you are the future Zhao Zijing in the time loop mode."

"Zhao Zijing" looked at the driver in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time. "You are smarter than you look."

"Excessive praise."

The smile on the driver's face was uglier than crying. All his Pokémon were sealed in Poké Balls. His body was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, and he had no chance of winning against the evil Zhao Zijing.

Despite being in a desperate situation, the driver calmed down and said, "In those time-loop movies, ordinary people always get into a panic.

But players need to be more rational and calm. When facing another self or another group of companions, it is not impossible to sit down and cooperate well.

You never thought about cooperating, whether it was cooperating to kill Cliff or cooperating to use two batteries to open the gate to complete the mission.
This indirectly proves that you have obtained certain information in the future and determined that there is no possibility of cooperation.

It is possible that only one group of players will be able to escape and ascend, while the other group will be stranded here.

Or maybe you have to kill all the other living people before you can escape from the bushes."

"You got the answer right. Unfortunately, there is no reward."

"Zhao Zijing" snapped his fingers.

Telekinesis poured out quietly, penetrating the skin. The driver's internal organs were crushed, and fragments of internal organs spewed out of his mouth. Just as the prophecy painting depicted.

In the last moments of his life, he smiled with difficulty and took out an explosive device from the rails of his backpack with both hands.

"Zhao Zijing" withdrew his mental power without hesitation, forming a thick wall to block in front of him. The next second, the explosive pack exploded.

The telekinetic barrier blocked all of the frontal shockwaves of the explosion, but the mission battery was blown high into the air and jumped out of the top of the tall grass.

"Zhao Zijing"'s face darkened. The driver even set up a trick at the last moment - players had tested it before, and anything that passed over the top of the tall grass would disappear.

In order to avoid mission failure, no one tested the battery.

At this moment, the driver detonated the explosive pack and knocked the battery away. If the battery disappeared because it passed over the top of the tall grass, it would be a revenge on Zhao Zijing, and no one would have an easy time.

If the battery does not disappear but successfully passes through the tall grass, this trick can also be used to warn potential ants.

"Zhao Zijing" stood in place, released his telekinesis, and caught the fallen mission battery.

Fortunately, the battery itself was not damaged and the power was still only 40%.

Others and that Cliff might appear at any time, so she took the battery and used telekinesis to repeatedly crush the driver's body and the Poké Ball several times, then quickly retreated.

After a while, the tall grass was pushed aside again. Li Sheng and Hui Yu looked at the bodies of the drivers scattered on the ground in silence.

After all, they were acquaintances who had experienced the mission together. Li Sheng was not in the mood to tell jokes about hell. He carefully examined the surrounding environment.

Hui Yu asked in doubt: "Could it be that He-something-something-man who did it?"

"It's Cliff." Li Sheng said without raising his head: "The Khrushchev you are talking about is the former Soviet leader."

Hui Yu was stunned when he heard this, "Huh? Isn't Khrushchev Nobi Nobita's friend?" "That's Suneo."

"Isn't Xiaofu a character in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?"

"That's Ji Xiaofu."

"Isn't Ji Xiaofu a minister with strong will and strong character?"

"That's Ji Xiaolan."

"Isn't Xiaolan Shinichi's girlfriend?"

As the two talked, their footsteps gradually approached. The bandaged man found this place and saw the fragments of bodies in the explosion pit. He asked in a trembling voice: "Is this the driver?"

"Yeah, it was like this when I got here. It seems the mission battery was also taken away."

Li Sheng carefully checked the sports camera carried by the red driver and found that it was completely broken and could not be restored at all.

The bandaged man couldn't hold it anymore and sat down on the ground with a plop, holding his head with his hands and rocking back and forth.

That Cliff was a Lv20 transcendent, and it was already difficult for the players to defeat him. Now that Midnight Howl and Red Driver were both dead, the situation was extremely unfavorable.

"I have to go home," the bandaged man seemed to have recalled more memories and said painfully, "My wife is still sick and my daughter is in a special children's education center. I have to go home."

Generally speaking, the killing field system tends to select ordinary people with obvious characteristics and great potential and make them players.

As the saying goes, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make him suffer in mind and body. In the gamer community, there are many miserable lives.

The bandaged man seems to be the worst off.

His parents died early, his wife is seriously ill, his daughter has congenital defects and needs someone to take care of her, and as a firefighter, he was severely burned in a fire and now he is being dragged into the killing field.

After a while, Zhao Zijing and Catherine, who were attracted by seeing the battery flying into the sky, also came to the explosion pit, and all the survivors reunited again.

"There are only the driver's footprints in this area,"

Zhao Zijing observed for a moment, frowned and said, "There is a Moon Step in the Six Navy Styles, which can temporarily stay in the air by stepping on the air. Could he have done this?"

"It's hard to say. As a summoner, the driver's power is limited. If he was attacked by Cliff, I think he would be killed instantly without making any noise."

Li Sheng shook his head, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and sniffed the air fiercely.

A faint fragrance.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately took out an industrial-grade olfactory analyzer (electronic nose) from the high-rise warehouse and installed it on his nose using the special effects of [Assembly Puppet].

The olfactory analyzer consists of three parts: gas sensor array, signal preprocessing and pattern recognition. It is widely used in chemical industry, food and beverage, environmental odor detection, medical examination and other fields.

After being installed on the nose, the extremely faint fragrance in the air immediately becomes clear and clearly points to the three o'clock direction.

Li Sheng took the lead and ran in that direction, explaining as he ran, "In the world of Pokémon, there are also male and female Skank.

The pollen from the pistil emits an extremely strong odor that can be spread up to two kilometers away, while the odor of the male stinking flower is much lighter.

After being diluted by the air, it becomes a faint fragrance.

The driver's stinky flower was a male. Before he died, he must have let the stinky flower stain the battery (or possibly the person who killed him) with pollen or nectar to give us guidance. "

If the driver is still alive at this time, he will definitely shout weakly, "This is my last ripple, ant!"

Catherine followed behind passively, running wildly, and asked breathlessly: "No, isn't it a trap?"

Li Sheng was too lazy to answer this question. Hui Yu glanced at Catherine and said sarcastically, "Auntie, do you have the right to choose?"

What auntie? I haven’t even graduated from college yet!

Catherine's expression was distorted, but there was nothing wrong with this address - after all, strictly speaking, Huiyu was only seven or eight months old. No matter who she was facing, she had the right to call them uncle or aunt.

Everyone followed the scent in the air and walked forward. Before they could push aside the bushes, they heard a shrill and very familiar female voice coming from the front, "Impossible!"

Rushing out of the tall grass, I saw the second Zhao Zijing kneeling in the mud pit.

She looked dazed and desperate, as if she had suffered a great shock. In front of her was a dried-up male corpse in camouflage clothes.

The male corpse was breathing heavily, as if he was in a strange state of neither death nor life.

There was a mission battery plugged into his chest, but the battery had already reached zero. Next to the body, there were dozens, nearly a hundred empty batteries of the same type stacked up.

Zhao Zijing, who was standing next to Li Sheng, was also extremely shocked when he suddenly saw the second self.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhao Zijing raise his hand, control the telekinetic arrow, and pierce his head. He died on the spot and there was no time to rescue him.

Once again, the scene in the prophetic painting was reproduced.

All this happened in just a few seconds. Zhao Zijing, who was still alive, rushed forward, pulled her dead self out of the mud pit, and examined it carefully.

There was no disguise, no human skin mask. Every mole and every tooth on the head-exploded corpse was exactly the same as hers. This was Zhao Zijing herself.

"The grass exists in a time loop, with a second self existing at the same time."

Zhao Zijing's mind raced, and he thought of Catherine No. 2 whom he had seen before, and came to the same conclusion as the driver.

Li Sheng's focus was on the empty batteries.

The batteries were piled up in a haphazard pile, numbering nearly a hundred. If these batteries were part of a cycle, it would mean that the cycle had been repeated at least a hundred times.

Where did all those Li Shengs go?
Li Sheng thought calmly, walked forward, looked down at the dried male corpse, and used the skull restoration skill in his mind to restore the original appearance of the corpse.

Caucasian male, mid 30s, square face.

This image points to the president of the Amalgam Guild, the Lv30 transcendent, Mithril.

"Mithril?"

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the corpse that was neither dead nor alive. "You are not dead yet?"

"Just resurrected."

The dried corpse spoke weakly, his voice hoarse and rough like a broken gong, "You are the teammates of this suicidal woman, right? It's your bad luck that you are trapped here like amalgam.

Judging from the empty batteries around us, this should be the ninety-eighth time we have repeated this conversation."

"What the hell is going on? What did you just say to the second me that caused her to commit suicide?"

Zhao Zijing dropped the corpse and stared at Mithril with cold eyes.

In her [Dot Detection] skill display, the original Lv30 Mithril's current life energy is only equivalent to the level of Lv10-Lv12.

"I just told her the truth about this patch of grass."

Mithril whispered, "Only by killing everyone can we break free from the cycle. Otherwise, we will be trapped here forever like Cliff and I."
