Chapter 422: Chapter 99: Brother Dong Wouldn’t Go That Far

The soldiers turned into points of light, silently dissipating.

Their vision gradually recovered, and the screams and internal pain disappeared along with it.

With the death of the beggar, the curse was lifted.

Through their previous encounters, Li Changhe had calculated that the beggar’s ability to predict the future was limited to about two seconds.

This was crucial information.

Otherwise, Li Changhe wouldn’t have won so easily.

Knowing that the enemy could see their future two seconds ahead,

he set a trap that the enemy could not get out of even after two seconds.

Using himself as bait, he attracted the enemy to attack the army formation and assassinate him.

After all, it was the safest method against a [Player] capable of summoning a large army, especially since Li Changhe had been affected by three curses. The probability of success in close combat was the highest.

So, before he attacked the formation, the enemy saw that there was no danger in their ’future’ two seconds later, because the danger was in the third second.

By the time he discovered the danger in the second second, it was too late.

All Li Changhe had to do was keep him in place.

With the combination of the steam soldier’s guillotine, they sent his head flying.

"Actually, I thought he would attack you. After all, you were at a great disadvantage in close combat due to the curse. But his first move was to run away," Yun Ting’s voice echoed in Li Changhe’s mind. She had also prepared to take over Li Changhe’s body at that moment.

Before Li Changhe swung the Mo Blade, the beggar had already sensed his presence.

If the beggar had turned around and faced Li Changhe head-on at that moment, it would have been hard to say what would have happened.

After all, the strength he demonstrated, whether in speed or skill, was not inferior to that of Li Changhe. In terms of attack skills, he was even better.

"He could see two seconds into his ’future’. What he saw was probably a scene of himself dying here," Li Changhe took out his Mo Blade and pointed it at the beggar’s corpse: "So the safest approach was not to fight me head-on there, but..."

"To leave the area? After all, it’s the place where he sees his own death. As long as he leaves, he can avoid that future," Yun Ting whispered. "Having the ability to see the future has helped him escape many threats, but it has also sapped his courage to fight."

"That’s right. I’ve tested it several times. When he encounters danger, his first reaction is to leave the area," Li Changhe murmured. The previous siege by soldiers was to further understand his abilities.

Once they had a rough idea of his abilities, the success of their encirclement was more than half assured.

Even if they had failed, Li Changhe still had plenty of ways to deal with him.

The enemy relied too much on his ability to predict the future, which ultimately led to his downfall.

Just as he was deep in thought, he felt a strong tremor from the ground beneath him, followed by the sound of an explosion.

[Participants: 3]

[You will leave the Instance in one minute]

"Huh? There’s now three? Someone left the Instance? Or was killed like the beggar?" Li Changhe’s face changed: "And someone triggered my trap?"

Li Changhe had set a trap on the first floor, using a combination of hand grenades and petrol barrels.

This was intended for dealing with enemies, luring them to the first floor, and using the nurse’s ability to pull them into a specific room.

They had even planned out the method. The nurse’s ability to move was restricted by being observed, so her combination with Brother Ting’s fog ability was just perfect.

The thick white fog made it impossible for anyone to observe the nurse.

They could only passively get trapped in the room where Li Changhe had set up the trap. It would be interesting... to suddenly be transported into a trap during a battle. Even if they didn’t die, they would be severely wounded!

And with the triggering of the trap, the final ’door’ was also destroyed, and the abnormal investigation would be completed as well.

It was a win-win situation.

But now it seemed that the fight had accidentally triggered it. With someone leaving the Instance or dying, it seemed that the battle in Building One had ended.

"There’s only one minute left," Li Changhe collected the spoils of war, took out his mechanical bow, and walked towards the room’s balcony.

He had to at least find out who had won.

If the cowboy had won, Li Changhe would appear in an official capacity.

If the puppeteer had won...

Li Changhe didn’t intend to show any mercy to someone who wanted to kill him. To even think of killing him, he had to be prepared to be killed in return!

He just didn’t know how many arrows he could shoot in this short minute.

On the other side, Yang Dong, holding his fractured hand, felt a bit regretful. When he used the [Inch Power Open Sky] technique, the masked woman began to awaken the Demon Mother.

According to the information they had obtained earlier, the red-clothed puppet in the puppeteer’s arms was the vessel for the Abnormal child imagined by the Demon Mother on the third floor.

Since it was an imaginary child, it was a derivative of the Mysterious Species.

As long as the Demon Mother existed, the red-clothed puppet could not be eliminated.

By awakening the Demon Mother, the red-clothed puppet’s abilities would be affected, and its combat power would be greatly reduced.

Yang Dong took advantage of this gap to attack the puppeteer.

"You detected something was wrong and used the [Escape Coin], huh?"

Although it allowed him to escape, being seriously injured and then encountering a sudden explosion-

Even after returning to the Real World, the puppeteer would not have the strength to fight again.

The pressure of hunting him down later would be much lighter.

"Let him escape, but as soon as he leaves the Instance, track him."

"Don’t worry, we marked him when he entered the Instance."

"Good," Yang Dong communicated with the masked woman in the [Friends] chat.

"Oh, and Old Yang, I just heard someone downstairs cursing at you."

"What did they say?"

"....’F*** you, Yang Dong.’ It sounded desperate. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you had wronged them."

Yang Dong’s mouth twitched, standing in the shadow of the ruins, he saw a figure appear on the balcony of Building Two.

A strange bronze mask on his face, blue flames flickering slightly.

The Mountain Pattern Armor, illuminated by the azure flame, appeared both ferocious and imposing.

Yang Dong, on the other hand, was wearing tattered clothes.

Furthermore, his right hand was fractured, weakly hanging down. He looked somewhat disheveled.

The two men with different auras were facing each other in silence.

An old poem goes: Meeting a friend in a foreign land...

Sometimes, it’s not necessarily a good thing.

After a long silence,

"Hss!"

The general suddenly gasped.

It was as if he had just returned home to find his five-year-old daughter living in a doghouse, and with a single order, a hundred thousand retired soldiers came to build him a doghouse as well.

"F***, Brother Dong!"

The gathered killing intent instantly dispersed, and in that moment, Li Changhe thought to himself: This sucks!

Why did Brother Dong come to Bashu? Why was he in Qiaodu? Wasn’t he playing in the sand on the mainland?

At the same time, he finally understood why he had been so uneasy these past few days.

Of all people, he had just used Brother Dong’s name himself.

Initially, he had used the [Great Wall] name on the [Great Wall] itself,

And then used the name Brother Dong on Brother Dong’s face!

"You dog, stand still, and don’t move!"

"Brother Dong, come on, it’s not like that!"
