Tokyo underground city

Chapter 165 Murder

Lin Huai'en felt something was wrong almost as soon as the guard answered.

He nodded, said nothing more, turned around and prepared to leave.

But unexpectedly, someone called him from behind.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Lin."

Some familiar voices made him turn around:

"Ms. Catalina..."

The person who called him was the blond female commander Catalina. She still looked resolute and walked quickly to the door: "You two can rest, I will arrange for others to take over your work."

The two guards looked at each other, nodded, and left.

Lin Huaien was left alone to face Catalina.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lin." Catalina walked up to Lin Huaien and nodded to him, with no strange look on her face. "I heard that you are preparing to deal with Mr. Mu En's [Super Speed]. I wonder if there is any progress?"

"Fortunately, I increased my 'nerve reflexes'. Then I learned a defensive skill. I hope I won't fall down so quickly when facing Mr. Mu En."

Lin Huaien opened his eyes and answered without changing his expression.

"Defensive skills... That's not a good choice."

However, Catalina shook her head when she heard Lin Huaien's answer, seeming to be really worried about him: "Although the defensive skills are indeed very restrained [Super Speed], in addition to [Super Speed], Mr. Mu En also has several other skills." Attack skills cannot be blocked by ordinary defensive skills."

"Oh? Can you tell me what skills they are?" Lin Huai'en showed a very interested expression.

He was indeed interested, but he couldn't believe what Catalina said.

However, Catalina seemed to know this, so she shook her head: "I can't tell you the specific situation. I can only tell you that in addition to [Super Speed], Mr. Mu En also has three attack skills, one each. Range attack, and two anti-personnel skills.”

"One large-scale attack, and two targets..."

Lin Huai'en thought for a while and suddenly said: "Then among the two anti-personnel skills, there must be a combo skill like [Four Directions Slash]. After all, this type of skill is most suitable for [Super Speed]."

"In addition, there is also a powerful attack-type skill against people, such as [Thrust] or [Powerful Attack] - the defensive skill is the nemesis of [Godly Speed]. If I were Mu En, I would definitely find a way to improve it. own attack power.”

Lin Huai'en knows very well what the rare skill recipients think——

Just like his [Sword Theory], Li Muen's skill system must be built around [Superior Speed].

In addition to [Super Speed] and three attack skills, there are one or two passives left, which should increase the speed of physical recovery or the upper limit of physical strength.

Explorers in the red card stage have a very limited number of skills. If you think about it vicariously, you can basically guess pretty well.

Sure enough, Catalina was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Lin Huai'en could think of so many things from her words.

Lin Huaien noticed that she narrowed her eyes and lost the smile on her lips.

But she quickly came to her senses, as if she was deliberately covering up her embarrassment, and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect you, Mr. Lin, to be so powerful. You thought of so many things from my words."

"However, I can't say more next time. Otherwise, after the competition is over, Mr. Mu En will complain loudly to me and reveal too many things to you that should not be disclosed."

Catalina's expression was very relaxed, and it seemed that her relationship with Mu En was really good——

If it hadn't been for Lin Huaien's receipt of a note from Li Muen this morning, reminding him to "pay attention to Catalina"...

Lin Huai'en nodded silently and asked: "How is Mr. Mu En? I originally wanted to communicate with him... but I heard that he declined to see guests?"

"Well, he felt a little unwell today. When he came back in the morning, he stayed behind closed doors."

Catalina said somewhat casually: "I think he still doesn't know that the shooting time has been changed to tomorrow. I will tell him later."

Lin Huai'en smiled bitterly and said without any defense:

"Oh, he came to me this morning and said he was going to have a fight with me as a preview for the official shooting the day after tomorrow... But I didn't expect that the official shooting was advanced."

And Catalina's eyes narrowed again: "It turns out that Mr. Mu En went out in the morning to see you... Let me tell you, why did he suddenly retreat into seclusion? Indeed, it is very similar to his style."

Lin Huaien said jokingly:

"Huh? Mr. Mu En feels quite frivolous to me. Is he such a serious person in private?"

"Yes, you may not know that he joined the Windrunners because of his sister..."

Catalina looked at Lin Huaien somewhat meaningfully and said.

.

Back in his tent, Lin Huaien sighed.

The conversation with Catalina consumed a lot of his energy.

But it also confirmed some of Li Muen’s previous statements.

"Is it because of my sister's condition that I was held hostage by Catalina..."

"People with weaknesses like him are good candidates for manipulation..."

"That's why Ark Holdings puts the red card explorer on the table at this stage."

"And Catalina should have played a role as a controller."

"But why did Li Muen remind 'me' to pay attention to Catalina?"

"Do I have any conflict with Catalina? Or have I offended her unknowingly?"

Lin Huai'en thought carefully, but couldn't figure it out.

Even though it was confirmed that there was indeed something abnormal about Katarina, he still couldn't figure out the other party's motive for murdering him——

"Could it be that just because I am a non-Ark explorer hired by Xiyang Xixue, you are planning to teach me a lesson in order to prevent other actors from following suit in the future?"

"But if that's the case, Li Mu'en probably won't take the risk of being snitched by Catalina and come and remind me..."

"Especially since he is grounded now..."

"How should I put it? I always have a bad feeling..."

Lin Huai'en looked up at the sky, but looked through the light-taking fairy to the Windrunner camp——

"Forget it, the soldiers will stop it, and the water will cover it with the soil."

He had thought about controlling the light-catching goblin and lurking into the Windrunner's camp to investigate the situation.

But the light-taking fairy is Yuan Ximu's property after all, and he is just borrowing it now. If it is used for sneaky things, Catalina catches it, or is destroyed by the Windrunner explorers, he will not be able to return it to the original. Ximu confessed.

"This is 6 million yuan... let's just sleep peacefully."

"When the filming is finished tomorrow, you can hide from them."

Lin Huai'en released Cocoa, reminded it to keep vigil, and closed his eyes.

.

Early the next morning, the shooting scene.

The director's assistant raised the electronic loudspeaker in his hand:

"Are you two ready? Compared with before, the conditions have not changed. It's just that according to Ms. Catalina's request, Mr. Moon will use his true strength this time. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, Windrunner's barrier master It will strengthen the strength of the barrier. When the time comes for the battle within the barrier, no sound can be transmitted except for images. So if you have any questions, please speak up in advance!"

Lin Huai'en immediately raised his right hand: "What should I do if I want to suspend?"

"Just raise your right hand."

The director's assistant said with a relaxed expression: "When we see something is wrong, we will call a timeout immediately!"

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

Lin Huaien sighed.

When he heard that Katarina was going to strengthen the barrier, he had a bad premonition.

But he couldn't figure out what Catalina was going to do to him.

To be honest, he really wanted to propose to Shen Wanshan to stop filming, but when he saw the old man's expression, he knew that there was absolutely no chance.

Shen Wanshan, like Yuan Ximu, is a person whose life is based on movies. The actor's joys and sorrows, whether false or real, are just details under his lens.

Shen Wanshan will not accept baseless accusations.

He even thought about whether to remind Shen Wanshan and reject Catalina's suggestion to strengthen the barrier.

But when he saw Li Muen's expression, he knew that this suggestion would definitely be useless.

Today, Li Muen's face is worse than yesterday. His face is pale and silent, but his eyes are full of hostility.

If Li Muen's expression when he looked at Lin Huai'en before was still disguised disgust, but his expression when he looked at Lin Huai'en at this moment was undisguised -

Killing intent?

Lin Huai'en looked confused. He still didn't understand why Li Mu'en and Catalina behind him were so hostile to him.

perhaps……

Lin Huai'en looked up at the sky above the barrier.

Perhaps, only after the barrier is completely closed can the reason be told to him through Li Muen himself.

.

"Tell me, what do you and Catalina want to do?"

"Or, on the surface, this barrier cannot transmit sounds to the outside world, but in fact, Catalina can learn what we are talking about in some way?"

Lin Huai'en looked at the "Windrunner" in the distance and said slowly.

"With this barrier, all energy other than light cannot be transmitted to the outside world."

Li Muen spoke: "This is a trap set by Catalina for you. Once you enter this special barrier built by eight second-level relics, I must kill you...otherwise Catalina will use the excuse of equipment failure. , to maintain the operation of the barrier until the winner is determined between you and me."

"Kill me? In public? Are you crazy?"

Although Lin Huai'en guessed Catalina's madness, he didn't expect that she was really paying such attention.

"Killing you is just my personal behavior."

However, Li Muen shook his head and turned even paler: "After killing you, I will take advantage of the moment the barrier opens to escape in the direction designated by Katrina, and then Katrina will order her men to catch me. Or kill me. Then put all the problems on me. Remove yourself and Ark Holdings from this incident."

"...That's why I said, are you crazy..."

Lin Huai'en shook his head and raised the Gray Fury in his hand in disbelief: "Destroy the efforts of the entire "Wind Gone" crew, destroy you, the ace reserve of 'Windrunner', and destroy Ark Holdings here." Hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in the movie... just to kill me, an insignificant ordinary person... In your opinion, do I really have that much value?"

However, Li Muen just shook his head, looked at Lin Huaien and said:

"I don't know. I only know that from Catalina's point of view, letting you die is obviously more important than letting me succeed."

"And you are willing to sacrifice yourself for your sister?"

Lin Huaien asked rhetorically.

However, these words just angered Li Muen.

"My father and I are different!" He roared loudly and drew his sword. "Katerina asked me to kill you. What can I do?! Unless you can defeat me, both of us will die. it's here!"

Right……

Lin Huaien narrowed his eyes and calmed down.

His luck had always been terrible, and he had known that for a long time.

"I'm going to beat you and make this movie a success..."

Lin Huaien said softly in a very low voice.

"Then, we will arrest you and Catalina."

.

Lin Huai'en knows very well how many people's efforts have been condensed into the movie "The Wind Passes".

Even if you shout out to others and find a way to reveal Katrina's identity, others may be able to notice that Katrina is strange.

But if he couldn't defeat Li Mu'en, under Katarina's control, he wouldn't have a chance to leave the barrier.

All the explorers in the entire crew except herself are controlled by Catalina. At this moment, she is the god of violence in the crew.

And if Lin Huai'en can defeat Li Mu'en, he can easily dismantle Katarina's leadership within the crew with the video and sound secretly recorded by the light-taking fairy.

At that time, he could naturally save his life and take revenge on Catalina severely.

Maybe, the murder on the set can become a future publicity stunt for the film "Wind Passed".

"But... none of this has anything to do with me."

Lin Huaien has never forgotten that he is a dungeon explorer.

Within the dungeon, explorers have their own rules.

Lin Huai'en raised the Gray Wrath and assumed the lower position.

And Li Muen also read out the [Super Speed] skill activation command——

"Kamikaze—Speed!"

Lan Feng made a big move.
