Chapter 210: Chapter 209: Aren’t You Going to Say Long Live Hydra? (Additional Release, Seeking Subscriptions)

When Li Changhe spoke these words, He Feng and Mr. Bai became alert.

According to the nature of the [Evolution Game], as soon as Li Changhe agreed to help, the task would be triggered.

That’s why the three of them had to weigh the pros and cons for a long time.

They were all calculating their advantages in battle.

Currently, Li Changhe is LV7, He Feng is LV7, and Mr. Bai is LV6. They all understand each other’s tactics and specialties.

If they were really to trigger the [Task], it would most likely be a [Reality Task] or [Instance Task]. The three of them would have clear divisions of labor, so there should be no deadly danger.

When the middle-aged agent heard that Li Changhe was willing to help, he rubbed his hands excitedly and nodded continuously.

After walking two steps towards the entrance of Building 7, he looked back and saw that the three of them were still in place. He couldn’t help but wonder if they had already been affected? Had the three strange men already begun battling the ’dirty thing’ in a place where he couldn’t see?

"Gentlemen...." the agent asked in a low voice.

It was only then that the three of them reacted and waved to indicate that everything was fine.

"How come there is no [Task] triggered? I wonder how the [Evolution Game] judges it." Li Changhe thought.

The reason why the three of them hadn’t moved was that they were planning to look at things like the [Task Introduction].

Unfortunately, they waited several seconds, but there was no prompt.

"Could it be that we are too far from the target? Maybe we need to be on the 12th floor?"

"Don’t let your guard down. Brother Ting said the other party isn’t strong, but it’s still a Mysterious Species. Be careful not to capsize in the gutter!" He Feng warned.

Then they followed the agent into Building 7.

While waiting for the elevator, the agent also took the opportunity to introduce his niece.

She was his eldest brother’s daughter, but both her parents had died in a traffic accident.

He had become her only relative. So they had been living together for years.

The reason the agent brought this up was to make Li Changhe and the others sympathize with him and better protect his niece from the ghost.

Such a little trick, Li Changhe and the others didn’t expose, [Players] were the ones who lacked sympathy the most.

They had all fought their way up mercilessly.

Li Changhe had killed many [Players] before. Didn’t they have families? Didn’t they have people they treasured? Didn’t they have someone waiting for them to come home?

Of course, they did.

But if Li Changhe felt sorry for them, it would be asking for trouble. By then, Box and his cohorts would be the ones grieving.

Except for those official organizations that wanted to protect the public, other [Players] weren’t traditional good guys in any sense.

In the [Task] of the [Sea Clan Invasion], Zhu Hou almost caused internal strife among the [Players] because of his sympathy in distributing food to the disaster victims.

Li Changhe, however, shot those troublemakers dead at that time. Cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruelness could all be applied to Li Changhe.

[Great Wall] couldn’t say anything, because what Li Changhe did was not wrong. He just took more correct and more efficient actions.

With Li Changhe’s personality, he would help if he came across someone in need. Being sympathetic was too luxurious. What qualifications did he have to sympathize with others?

The agent continued to talk. His niece used to work in a bookstore in the city center but encountered the criminal from the rental house disappearance case a month ago. Luckily, she was only wounded on her shoulder.

She had been recovering at home for a while.

The agent, because he was too busy with work, couldn’t come to see her often.

But then this happened.

"So you don’t know what happened, and you don’t know anything about your niece either?" He Feng asked, spreading his hands. "You can’t provide any clues at all?"

They still hadn’t confirmed whether they would enter the [Task]. Knowing the opponent’s information would be very helpful for the [Task]. But what the agent meant was that he didn’t know anything at all.

This was embarrassing. How were they supposed to catch the ghost with this situation?

Li Changhe, however, frowned and said, "...Zhao Jiu?"

Uncle Zhao was startled, "Mr. Li... do you know my niece?"

"So that’s how it is. No wonder Brother Ting said there’s a beginning and an end." Li Changhe understood in his heart that when he killed the source of the criminal, it was because the criminal had attacked Zhao Jiu, which triggered the [Instant Task].

The next day, Li Changhe was worried that his identity hadn’t been well-hidden, so he went to the library to inquire. From there, he also learned the name Zhao Jiu, who was an imaginative girl in his impression.

Of course, Li Changhe had revealed many flaws when he killed the criminal, which was caught by Chen Yu. Fortunately, Box’s powerful presence and He Feng’s negotiation managed to hide his identity.

"Is this a coincidence?" Li Changhe murmured, smiling at Uncle Zhao, "You should pay more, uncle. I was the one who saved your niece at that time!"

"But... wasn’t it said that a woman led the criminal away?"

Ignoring the somewhat confused look on Uncle Zhao’s face, Li Changhe and the others entered the elevator.

Pressing the number for the 12th floor, they all looked up at the same time as the elevator started to ascend. The next second, there was a sound of something falling from the top of the elevator.

Was someone stepping on the top of the elevator?

As if to welcome the arrival of the three new guests, rhythmic footsteps came from the top of the elevator.

It seemed they were playing some old-fashioned disco music?

They didn’t move, as the Mysterious Species were all experts in scaring people. Sometimes their fighting power wasn’t that great, but they were good at scaring people.

Li Changhe almost wanted to shoot a [Boss Lead] at the top of the elevator if he wasn’t worried about causing too much damage.

Uncle Zhao’s face turned pale. "It’s here... It’s here. It usually doesn’t appear that much. Even if it appears, it wouldn’t be this frequent."

"Has it sensed the danger we bring?" Mr. Bai chuckled. "Does it want to scare us away?"

He Feng squinted and asked, "Is the elevator surveillance turned on?"

"Yes... It’s on."

As soon as Uncle Zhao’s voice fell, the sound from the top of the elevator disappeared, and Li Changhe heard a click.

The elevator suddenly dimmed.

The floor indicator lights also went out.

Power outage?

"Well, it seems it doesn’t want us to go up," A faint green flame lit up in the dark.

Uncle Zhao’s eyes nearly popped out as he saw a warrior wearing a green flame mask and Mountain Pattern Armor standing where Li Changhe had been.

"You... Li..." Uncle Zhao nearly ran out of breath. Seeing Li Changhe in this state in the dim lighting was quite frightening to him.

Who exactly was the demon then?

Mr. Bai patted Uncle Zhao’s shoulder, signaling him to calm down. Then he braced both hands against the elevator doors, and his originally somewhat chubby body instantly slimmed down by a circle.

With his strength, he managed to pry open the elevator doors in an instant.

At this moment, the elevator was stopped halfway between floors. It seemed to be between the seventh and eighth floors, judging by the floor numbers.

"Let’s go!" He Feng grabbed the still-stunned Uncle Zhao and threw him out of the elevator. He quickly climbed out and looked at the top of the elevator.

All he could see were messy shoe prints.

"This is so annoying." He Feng complained, looking at Li Changhe. "Are you waiting for me to carry you like a princess?"

"Haven’t you ever seen a ’Biohazard’ movie? Are you not scared of the elevator guillotine?" Mr. Bai also ridiculed. "How about a ’Hail Hydra’ joke for you?"

"Tsk!" The green flame flickered as Li Changhe spread his hands. "I thought you were going to say ’Long live the Hydra.’ I was waiting for the punchline."
