Chapter 55: Chapter 54 - "Big Brother, It’s All On You

Cloning "Su Ming’an" and Noel proceeded together, searching for clues. Thanks to their powerful alliance, their journey was alarmingly smooth.

They walked through the long alley and discovered an advertisement posted on a utility pole. After interrogating a homeless man in the alley, they got a rough idea of the route. Just as they were about to leave the alley, Noel stopped in front of a wall.

This was a particularly dense section of the wall, covered with a thick, green slime, looking completely different from the other walls.

Noel didn’t dare touch it. He scanned the wall, seemingly analyzing something.

Then, he watched as Su Ming’an beside him placed a hand directly on it.

"Hey! Be careful, what are you doing!" Noel finally understood what the audience meant by saying the other was ruthless—this guy really uses himself as a test subject all the time... as if he doesn’t care about his own life.

He reached out quickly, removed his hand, and saw that the green liquid had not adhered; the surface of his hand was clean, but a blood-red pattern was gradually forming on the back of his hand.

"Seems like it’s nothing." The clone looked at his status, no debuffs appeared, then glanced at the worried and anxious barrage and smiled, "...It’s alright, I know my limits."

The barrage was even more anxious than him:

[Know your limits my foot! Stop using yourself as a test subject for everything!]

[That pattern definitely isn’t normal! It reminds me of the red mark from the first Underworld World... which was a symptom of the Mushroom Virus.]

[Ming’an, you’re the leader of the Lighthouse! You can’t die, take care of yourself!]

[Finally got gentler and I’m so worried about losing him sometime soon boo hoo hoo]

[...Why are you suddenly flattering him? I’ve been watching from the First World till now and never saw you be so considerate to the host.]

[Number One Player! Of course, we should flatter him! It’s necessary, it’s necessary!]

...

[Clue Obtained: Blood-Red Pattern]

[(Blood-Red Pattern): After touching the wall, you obtained this pattern—does it represent something, or has something targeted you?]

[Gained 10 Exploration Points]

[The clue has been recorded in the clue section, available for review at any time.]

Meanwhile, Su Ming’an over there also received this message notification, and the clue appeared in his clue section.

By this time, having spent half a day here, the clone and Noel carefully searched the nearby area before coming here, giving the group ample preparation time.

"Hey... they are coming." Hank, who possessed reconnaissance abilities, alerted everyone. According to their roles, some hid on the rooftops, while others stayed below, holding poor-quality, looted bows and arrows.

There were piles of inconspicuous firewood ready to be lit at any moment. Kay was clutching a Molotov cocktail, ready to throw it.

"Big bro, it’s all on you." Park Min-ho lay on the rooftop, his hands empty, perhaps because he was a magic occupation, perhaps he was waiting for prey to come... or perhaps waiting to strike at Su Ming’an’s gun.

"Okay." Su Ming’an crouched on the rooftop, looking in that direction and raising his gun.

In a dazzling array of lights, a very cheerful "himself" and the blond boy were talking and walking this way, looking completely unguarded, even Noel’s gun and dagger were still put away.

"Here they come, here they come..." The group looked incredibly tense, beads of sweat slowly sliding down, after all, this was a life-and-death adventure gambled in front of the whole world.

As Su Ming’an was contemplating whether his next shot should target Park Min-ho or Hank’s head, he suddenly saw a tall figure appearing at the entrance of the alley.

...It was Eli, who had provoked them at the start.

He seemed to have finished searching the outer city region and was about to head to the Inner City, carrying a blood-stained door panel sword.

"...It’s you guys." Eli came from another fork in the road, just as he ran into the clone and Noel. He frowned, then decided to ignore the two allied individuals and continued towards the alley entrance.

"What should we do? It’s Eli..." Several people turned their gaze to Park Min-ho, who was in charge of commanding. He gritted his teeth, shook his head, and signaled to let him pass for now.

He wasn’t the real big fish, and they couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Meanwhile, quite coincidentally, the twelve-year-old Qin Ze also appeared in everyone’s field of vision, but differently, he didn’t appear at the outer alley entrance, but rather... at the inner one, facing Eli who was about to step in.

"Shit, how did this kid get over there? I didn’t even notice him!" Park Min-ho cursed aloud.

Qin Ze seemed quite happy, standing at the entrance of the alley. He shaped his hand into a tube in front of his mouth and shouted towards Eli, who was about to enter the alley, "Hey—don’t come in, there are fools setting up an ambush here!"

His voice was loud and clear, instantly echoing down the entire alleyway. The group was initially stunned, but then Park Min-ho steeled himself, realizing the ambush plan had failed.

He immediately issued a command, "Kill that kid first!" Then, his hand quickly gathered a glow, aiming it at Su Ming’an next to him!

Park Min-ho had long coveted the local’s gun; even if the plan failed, he could kill him, take the gun, and talk about entering the Inner City later. Anyway, using his comrades as cannon fodder would suffice.

His movements were extremely quick, and the halo in his hand was unexpectedly swift. But under this nearly certain strike, Su Ming’an in front of him suddenly disappeared.

His expression froze, and the next moment, he felt something press against the back of his neck, the touch so light it was almost like caressing.

[——HP-1387! (Combat Power Suppression! Annihilation! Fatal Injury!)]

The next moment, his HP bar of 750 plummeted to the bottom as if seeing a ghost. Park Min-ho’s eyes flashed with confusion; he didn’t even know how he died.

Su Ming’an withdrew his hand from the back of the opposite neck and noticed that the dead Park Min-ho was still glowing.

[Received equipment (Leather Boots)]

[Leather Boots (Green Level): Decent defensive power, just an ugly design, but no need to actually wear them

Defensive Power: 5

[Killing a player in a competitive world, gained Exp+500]

[Acting evil under "Shadow" state, earned 1 Occupation Point (can resurrect either the main body or cloning with each resurrection requiring 5 Occupation Points, direct death if points are less than 5)]

"It’s supposed to be the light of righteousness, yet it says acting evil." Su Ming’an dragged the item to his equipment slot then glanced downward.

[Combat Power 400 (Personal Normal) +10]

Eli seemed eager to dash across the alley, while Qin Ze, standing on the other end, was facing attacks from three men.

Su Ming’an stood on the eaves, ready to collect heads after Qin Ze’s death, so he watched him being attacked.

It was then that Noel sighed slightly.

"What’s wrong?" The clone asked gently.

"It’s unnecessary slaughter..." he said.

"Do you want to save him?" The clone looked at Qin Ze struggling under a Mid Level prop Defensive Barrier and at the moment Noel said, "Children shouldn’t be involved in such slaughter," he nodded, "I think so too, and if that’s your thought..."

The next moment, he rushed out immediately.

Su Ming’an watched his self-acting clone in confusion.

——What on earth is this thing doing!

But he was too late to order a retreat; the clone had already charged forward.

The several men, originally furious at not being able to break through Qin Ze’s tough shell, saw "Su Ming’an" come over and were immediately overjoyed.

They seemed to see a light that the plan could continue.

The fire at the end was ignited in an instant. They threw over Molotov cocktails and raised bows and long knives, their eyes brimming with eager desire.

"Close combat with him! Don’t let him release his cloning! His main body has weak Vitality, Fitness, and Agility in close combat, just be careful of his annihilation finger!" Kay immediately shouted. Simultaneously, he glanced up at the eaves and saw Su Ming’an looking this way, "Big Bro! Big Bro! It’s your turn to take action! Open fire——!"
