As a player, can you be normal?

The first moment he saw Rudy, Li Nuo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

It was a hunting impulse like seeing a wild beast.

Comes from the hunter instinct.

Seeing Rudy fall to the ground, the woman sitting far away took the sword back into her arms.

Let me ask you something. Rudy, who was missing half of his head, slowly spoke again: I obviously hid it very well.

Li Nuo didn't answer anything and stared at Rudy's body.

【Rudy】

[Level: lv15]

[Special Life Form: Infancy]

[Skills: weaken hostility, escape technique,? ? ? 】

【Strength: 16】

[Reactions: 19]

[Spiritual power: 22]

[Physique: 20]

[Insight: 24]

[Medical:? ? ? 】

He can only see these things and adjust the panel he sees to be visible so that everyone can see it.

Everyone present was surprised.

Especially Marsh.

This kid had obviously been chatting with him for so long, but he didn't see anything suspicious about Rudy.

Am I being charmed by a child?

Li Nuo nodded slightly to Cha Bai.

Chabai hummed.

Suddenly speeding up, he pulled out the hammer and struck Rudy's body!

However, the moment the hammer hit Rudy, Chabai's eyes suddenly focused and he jumped in rapid air.

With just a bang, Rudy exploded like a corpse, blood and flesh melting into every corner of the car and disappearing.

Is he... not dead? Brother Rifle asked.

No... Johannesson touched the dried blood on the floor and shook his head: Escaped.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Nuo who put away his gun.

Don't look at me. Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: Even if there is no panel display, Rudy should be killed first.

He slowly looked at Marsh and said to the strong man, It's our first time meeting you.

Marsh nodded.

Li Nuo looked up and down at this strong man in Sauron's team.

By visual inspection, this guy's height should be over 1.9 meters, and his weight must be around 100 kilograms. The player's physical increase in the endless corridor will not increase his weight, which is considered a bug.

Judging from his appearance, Marsh was estimated to be in his late forties. He had a strong chin but a sinewy face, a bit like an orangutan. He was wearing a set of rough plate armor and had thick bronze protective gear on his arms.

It's also appropriate to call him Brother Terminator.

The most eye-catching thing should be his two shields as big as doors.

The surface of the shield is unpretentious and unpretentious. What is interesting is that the four sides of the shield are blades, which can be used for cutting and defense. It is a perfect combination of attack and defense.

But seriously, he can lift such a heavy shield and walk as light as running naked.

At least it shows that this big brother can beat Li Nuo into dementia with one punch.

In other words, Marsh's strength attribute must be extremely high.

You two know each other? Johannessen asked.

It's not really acquaintance, just heard of the name for a long time. Marsh said.

Hearing the name Daimyo for a long time makes others imagine him endlessly.

Who would be said to be well-known... someone who is powerful or someone who shows a unique side in a certain script?

Everyone looked at Li Nuo with less suspicion and suspicion, and more vigilance.

Marsh approached Li Nuo and asked doubtfully: Rudy has controlled our thinking? Or...

It's hard to say. Li Nuo interrupted Marsh: My thinking must have been affected, but at best I don't pay too much attention to him. The player's spiritual power value is usually above 30, so resisting the invasion of charm is not a big problem.

Players who can come here need to go through at least seven or eight scenarios, and have a narrow escape in the process of rising to level 25. Then they have to compete with hundreds of players and win in the scenario of competing for tickets. Li Nuo said word by word: Imagine that a twelve-year-old child, who has successfully experienced all the above challenges, gets on the train and survives the first round of onslaught between players and monsters.

Then how scary does this kid have to be? he asked, and then added: There is a skill in Rudy's panel called 'Weaken Hostility', which probably makes you appear in a certain way. I clearly feel that something is wrong with him, but It’s the idea that I can’t do anything because he has no ill intentions.”

Marsh was speechless, yes...that's what he ignored at first.

Cha Bai also realized what he had overlooked.

child……

She did have questions about why this child didn't have any ill intentions... She didn't know how to start without any ill intentions.

Anyway...

Li Nuo picked up the bullet that penetrated Rudy's head.

It was stained with the boy's blood, and then he made a move that made everyone feel sick.

He licked the blood on it.

Then he slapped his mouth a few times: Human blood.

Diao Yi's eyes widened: You...

The woman who had been wandering outside the group and sitting far away holding the Gazi Sword also looked over.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Johannesson said: Mr. Li, can you tell everyone why you lick this blood?

Li Nuo: As a doctor, you must know that there is a difference in taste between human blood and animal blood.

Johannesson was stunned: Wait...you...

Oh, I guess, you just put your hand just above your butt to wipe the blood on your hand, which is very similar to the professional action of a doctor. Li Nuo explained. In fact, what he said was indeed one of the reasons, but It's untenable. More importantly, the doctor's eyes are different from those of ordinary professionals. He grew up among doctors, and he can tell whether he is a doctor just by looking at someone's eyes.

Johannessen no longer tried to hide it, nodded and said, That's right. There are slight differences in smell and taste, but they are not obvious. It is difficult for human taste to taste the difference.

Pig blood is smelly, chicken blood is stinky, only human blood is more fishy, ​​and... Li Nuo took another lick: It tastes saltier and contains more salt, so human blood is actually not suitable for cooking, and human blood is more It’s sticky, sometimes even stringy.”

Li Nuo put his finger in front of the tip of his nose, inhaled hard, and after feeling refreshed like a drug addict, he said: The most important thing is that the smell of human blood is lighter and not that smelly. It's like putting your nose against the rust and betting your life on it. The feeling of breathing in.”

After he finished speaking, he received no reply and there was silence.

Everyone looked solemn or stunned, all looking at him.

A player was the first to break the silence: Brother is a forensic doctor?

Li Nuo said calmly: It's just common sense in life.

Several players were stunned. Is this common sense in life?

Anyone who studies medicine knows more than me. I'm just talking about some common sense issues. Li Nuo thought of Marjie's mean face.

What does the monster named Rudy have to do with human blood? Diao Yi asked.

It's just easy to disguise. Li Nuo pointed to his nose and said: He is designed to be human, which can prevent people with a sensitive sense of smell from discovering Rudy's true identity. Simply put, it is easy to disguise.

Everyone fell silent and began to digest this sentence.

Until Johannesson asked: So...how did you lock him into being a monster in the first place?

On the one hand, it's my ability. But sir, I'm sorry. I don't intend to say it. I also advise you not to say it, because no one will tell the truth completely, and it will arouse unnecessary wariness. Li Nuo poked his cane twice. , his pupils kept scanning around: The main reason why I locked onto him has already been said. It would be too terrible for a twelve-year-old child to pass these tests. I don't believe that anyone can survive until now with love and light.

He concluded: In short, Rudy is theoretically a human being, but he obviously does not belong to the human category. The system has said that it will give players something scary to stretch their muscles. I think the so-called scary thing is probably this Rudy. Di... Of course it's just a guess. You don't need to take it seriously without evidence, but it is necessary to take some precautions... The key precaution is the number of people... We don't know if he will transform, because he is considered a 'human', so he is reckless The little bastard Dina will probably appear somewhere else again disguised as a player.

Li Nuo took a deep breath and continued: I can completely suspect that if I hadn't discovered Rudy, he would have tried some more dirty tricks on us when we were in danger to increase the difficulty, and the outcome would most likely have been the team's destruction. It’s like Car No. 5.”

His words silenced the players.

My thoughts jump too fast...

Li Nuo limped into Car No. 5 and looked around: There are no seats in this car... The length is about 30 meters, which is shorter than Car No. 3. In other words, the shape of each car is different. Same...is this the monster you encountered?

Li Nuo picked up a piece of white skin from the ground.

Marsh nodded: Yes, a creature with smooth skin and no bones.

In other words, the monsters in each carriage are not necessarily the same, right... Li Nuo looked at the closed door of another carriage in the distance: In carriage No. 5, was there an accident in the middle that caused a large number of players to die at once?

Marsh nodded: Yes.

Li Nuo: How did you discover Rudy?

Cha Bai said: I think he was hiding among the corpses.

That is to say, no player has seen Rudy before he appeared for the first time. Li Nuo touched his chin: Rudy... will appear in a certain carriage and then do something that catches the player off guard.

He glanced at Marsh and said, If there weren't some powerful people in the carriage, Rudy would probably use some special means to guide the monsters to become stronger and kill all the players.

According to the consequential theory... Li Nuo paused and whispered: Rudy will continue to get stronger. During this period, it will be difficult for us to catch him. The probability of encountering him is like encountering a mythical beast... Now I want to bet on something...

How will Rudy show up?

Would he avoid me, or would he try to kill me first? If it were me, I would wait until the next car door opens before making a choice.

Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the bloody ceiling.

Mr. Johannesson is right. You can't kill players now, but you must control everyone.

He turned back and saw everyone staring at him, so he scratched his head and said with a smile: Edward Roger, please take care of me.

Johannesson said: Mr. Edward, great analytical skills...

Diao Yi shrugged his shoulders: Fortunately I didn't kill you, otherwise I would have missed a puzzle-solving player.

He pointed behind him: If you are really not good at fighting, just hide behind us. We need the analytical skills of you and Johannesson.

It's all up to you. Li Nuo said.

There is too little information and nothing is clear. We will wait until other doors open.

Other than that, he didn't want to say anything else for the time being.

Open the task panel and look at it again.

This assessment mission is much more special than before. There are no side plots or hidden elements. Even if there were, Li Nuo wouldn't have time to do it.

Regardless of whether the previous scripts had a complete worldview or not, they would at least place you in a world with a certain degree of openness. The layout would be opened up from the very beginning, and there would be a lot of room for maneuver.

This assessment is a linear game, similar to the same level-breaking script as Demon World Village.

There are two main lines as guides, but players’ inertial thinking will be focused on infighting, so they often ignore the second main line, which is how to stop the train.

Li Nuo thought that this matter must be done with trustworthy people.

Marger bore the brunt.

The other one is Sauron...but Li Nuo is wary of him. On the one hand, Sauron is too strong and conflicts cannot be controlled. On the other hand, he still doesn't know his current condition.

But thinking on the bright side...

Li Nuo looked at Marsh.

I have a hostage in my hands.

Marsh realized that Li Nuo was looking at him, and originally wanted to ask What are you looking at?, but the memory suddenly returned to before the train mission started...

At that time, Sauron told Marsh and three other people what to pay attention to in this script.

There is a key point that Sauron repeated twice: That Li Nuo among our allies, if any of you encounter him without me, please remember three things...

One, listen to him;

Second, don’t talk too much to him to avoid being cheated;

Third, no matter what he asks you to do, you must remember to think twice before you act.

Sauron has endured the negative BUFF of [Questor] until now, and he has never been so wary of any player.

Thinking of this, Marsh suddenly became interested.

What would happen if I cheated on this Li Nuo...?

This wave is a self-guided strategy.

He didn't realize that Li Nuo was treating him as a hostage.

But... there's no point in just having hostages without someone to blackmail.

Li Nuo looked at the closed door in despair.

Carriage No. 5 is now connected to Carriage No. 3, but the number of people in other carriages should still remain above 10, resulting in the door not being opened further.

All players can relate to this.

There is a feeling of putting your destiny in other people's hands. Diao Yi said unhappily.

There's nothing we can do~ Brother Rifle sat on the chair and crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly: At least we are safe here, right?

Johanathan: Do we need to do anything... That kid named Rudy could pose a danger at any time.

Marsh is sitting not far away now.

The face of Rudy's child kept flashing in his mind, and he still didn't understand why he had a good impression of that kid at that time...

If it were just pure thought control...

That's too strong.

He deeply remembered that when he saw Rudy, he thought of his children.

That kid...is something that can induce a person's own willpower...or an obsession that exists in one's mind?

Marsh knew that his brain power was limited, and in the absence of Sauron, he could only place his hopes on that ally.

Thinking this, he raised his head.

Then he was stunned.

That's...a plastic stool?

Li Nuo was sitting on a folding stool (plastic chair), tearing off a relatively clean piece of cloth from the corpse on the ground and tying it to the wound on his leg.

When treating the wound, my ears never relaxed, and I kept listening to the voices of the people around me.

Li Nuo realized that everyone seemed to be paying more attention to that Rudy...

He actually felt... Rudy was not the key.

The system has told the player that the focus is on the 'player' and 'parking', not Rudy.

Monsters are only used to increase the difficulty. They will reduce the players to an uncontrollable number, but the most important thing is to stop the car, that is, to find the front of the car.

The system does not give useless prompts, and the main name of the assessment is 'Body-Eating Snake', which means that its symbolic carrier cannot be as simple as a BOSS.

Li Nuo opened his memory bank.

When I was ignorant and incompetent, I accumulated a lot of useless knowledge in my mind.

This includes the body-eating snake.

It is also called ouroboros, with its head and tail connected, androgynous. Its posture symbolizes immortality, completeness, infinity, the world, and wisdom. It is closely related to the theme of eternal life.

Thinking of this, Li Nuo said to himself: The name of the train is, Eternal Life Train.

He had an idea that the body-eating snake pointed to the train itself, and it could never be a name symbol. It had to be a concrete representation to fit the theme, such as a ring.

Is the train a circle?

Forget it...there are too few clues.

Li Nuo planned to move the above issue to a later date.

But he didn't intend to say these things now.

None of the players in front of me could believe it.

What are you thinking about? Chabai sat on the chair next to him.

Li Nuo turned his head and saw a pair of long legs first, and then looked up from the waist to the face that was covered tightly with brown hair.

It's nothing. Everything can only be verified after the doors are opened. Li Nuo said.

Johannesson, who was not far away, said at this time: If you don't have any objections, let's search for supplies first.

When they started searching for the body, Chabai bent down and asked in a low voice: Why didn't you continue to track that Rudy just now?

The smell was interrupted and I couldn't tell where he went, Li Nuo said.

I can try to lure him out. Cha Bai said.

Li Nuo knew that she planned to use [Focuser], but he still stopped him: That kid's level is only 15, which is far from the level of elite monsters. Your trick will most likely be useless...

You never know if you don't try. Cha Bai took a deep breath: If a person doesn't take that step, he will never know what he will face in the future, but even if I face danger, I will not choose to place my hope on Heaven.”

[Focuser has been turned on]

Li Nuo: ...

at this time.

The other door connected to Car No. 3 made a ding sound.

A line of words floated across the display above: [Car No. 1 has been opened, randomly go to Car No. 3]

Everyone looked over.

When the door slowly opens, you can clearly see the dim interior of Car No. 1.

Li Nuo put away the folding stool, carried the [Weapon Box] on his back, stood up and looked over.

The silent woman holding the big sword also stood up at this time, and the sword in her hand made a sound.

There is something in Car No. 1.

In a mass of darkness.

Something is approaching them.

Everyone's nerves were shattered.

A hand stretched out from the darkness and rested on the door frame, and then a head with its brain exposed and fangs poked out.

Li Nuo: ...The licker has become a sperm.

There were two monsters that looked like lickers. They were huge and suddenly rushed out from the door.

The goal is to turn on the Chabai of [Focuser].

Li Nuo, who was standing in front of everyone, lowered his hat and moved half a meter to the other side, just in time to avoid the collision of the first monster. Then he lowered his head and picked up a blood potion from the ground that the player had not had time to use. , just dodged the second one's swoop.

This kid is so lucky! Diao Yi set up the shotgun and pulled the trigger!

A series of seemingly accidental actions, only Marsh saw it.

It wasn't accidental, Li Nuo just calculated the distance and avoided it.

Psychological quality.

Body control.

Response capability.

All top quality.

Marsh put up his double shields and was surprised. What Sauron said was true.

This man is ridiculously strong.

Two monsters have already rushed in front of the player. Marsh put his two shields together and bounced away the monsters. Cha Bai behind him noticed that Li Nuo walked to the door of Car No. 1 on crutches.

Accompanied by the noise from Car No. 3.

Li Nuo drank the magic potion [Cat's Eye] to ensure that he could see things clearly in the dark.

With Cha Bai and Marsh outside, the two monsters will be killed soon.

Why not take advantage of the fact that no one is around and come in alone to take a look first.

If there are too many people in the dark, they will become targets.

He put a [Quen Shield] on himself and spit, spitting out the residue mixed with the disgusting decoction.

This carriage is strange.

Like a lecture theater, it consists of steps leading up one section at a time. The entire carriage is at least seven or eight meters high.

It was convenient for the group of Licker-like things to sneak attack on the ceiling.

but……

Li Nuo focused on the front.

There is no smell of monsters.

So there should be only players left.

The smell of blood is very strong.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

The blood-stained soles stopped in place under the gaze of a pair of eyes, and he sat on a chair placed diagonally.

Leaning on his cane, Li Nuo took off his mask.

Showing what he thought was a kind face, he said to the dark place in front of him where there was nothing but breathing sounds: I have no ill intentions, but if you don't come out, I will have ill intentions.

Li Nuo lowered the brim of his hat, his amber eyes glimmering in the darkness.

There was the sound of someone gasping.

Ah...ha...ha... With a heavy breath, a woman's figure slowly emerged from the corner.

The woman seemed to have endured it for a long time.

As soon as he was discovered, he inhaled and exhaled greedily and repeated this many times.

She was wearing an orange overalls with suspenders, covered with dark brown blood spots, and had an unpleasant odor of organs.

His face was covered with sweat and blood, his eye circles were red, and his red and swollen eyes made people feel pity.

Don't kill me yet... what you just did was just the effect of the skill card. I didn't want to sneak attack you.

Li Nuo looked at her coldly.

Those eyes make women tremble.

He noticed that there was a deep wound on the woman's lower abdomen that was torn out by claws. The bleeding seemed to have stopped, but the wound was very deep.

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind the woman.

Is it...is it brother?

Li Nuo frowned: Tom?

He immediately got up and went over, and saw Tom curled up in the darkness, with a deep slash through both eyes.

What happened? he asked.

The woman understood that the two of them knew each other, so she calmed down and said, I was attacked by a monster just now. His eyes were blinded. I suffered some injuries, but the monster... suddenly rushed out of the open door and saved us. Life.

It was Cha Bai's [Focuser] who saved them. Li Nuo pondered and looked deeper: Where are the other players?

I don't know, they fought very chaotically...

Have you both run out of blood medicine?

The woman nodded and begged: Let me live, I can do simple healing techniques.

Tom said: Brother, she saved me, otherwise I would be blind in more than one eye.

Li Nuo took out the blood medicine he had just picked up and handed it to the woman.

Is this okay? the woman asked.

Li Nuo replied: You can use it.

She turned her hand and plunged it into Tom's leg.

Blood medicine can restore all physical injuries except broken limbs, but there will be a sequence. Blindness is an injury that requires at least 90% of the blood volume to be restored.

Tom could only see scattered things. It was dark nearby, but he still couldn't see anything.

But I can move.

Huh... Tom exhaled heavily. He regained his energy. Except that he couldn't see clearly, he was no different from a normal person: There was a licker just now...

I know. Li Nuo said, turning to look at the woman: The blood medicine was originally meant for you to use.

My injury has stopped. No blood medicine is needed. The woman pressed her finger on Li Nuo's leg: Don't hide.

The next second.

The pain from the gunshot wound on Li Nuo's leg was relieved.

It's not fully recovered, is that it? Li Nuo touched the location of the wound.

Well, I said it's a simple treatment, and it will help stop the bleeding. The woman paused: But it's enough, isn't it?

As she spoke, more and more sweat appeared on her face.

Too much magic power.

Li Nuo picked up Tom and said, You don't need to treat me. Since I gave you the blood medicine, I said that I can take you away.

The woman smiled, and there was still blood on the corner of her mouth. In the dark environment, she felt a bit sad.

Occupational disease, I'm a doctor, I don't want to see anyone getting hurt...

This will make you die faster... Li Nuo cursed and prepared to pick up the woman with his other hand, but she refused.

I can stand up...

The woman stood up.

Don't save people casually. Li Nuo said.

The woman shrugged her shoulders indifferently: I will only save the people who should be saved...I am not greedy. You helped me, and I will listen to you.

At this time, Cha Bai chased in with tears streaming down his face.

Li Nuo knew at a glance that she had used magic to close the [Focuser].

solved?

Not yet, let me help you.

Li Nuo pointed at Tom: This kid got beaten again.

Tom shook his head in embarrassment: I'm sorry, everyone.

Cha Bai raised his head and stared forward, scanning a circle with his prosthetic eyes: It's strange... there is no sign of body temperature... it's very abnormal.

Li Nuo frowned: What do you mean?

Cha Bai: Except for you guys, there's no thermal imaging of any living people here.

Li Nuo was upset and unreasonable.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart, and he immediately bent down to lower himself and Tom's bodies.

The next second, scarlet warmth hit his face.

The woman fell to her knees, her head gone, her broken muscles twitching, and blood splattering everywhere.

At this time, Li Nuo's eyes tightened.

A small blood hole opened in Tom's waist and he was bleeding continuously. Although he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting, cold sweat covered his face.

Don't make a sound... Li Nuo whispered, turning to look at Cha Bai who was squatting next to her. She was fine at all.

Then he looked into the darkness not far away.

There are seven players hidden there.

They use black mist and coolant to hide their bodies.

How much experience does that woman have?

400, not much.

A man wearing thermal imaging glasses stared into the distance, with fragments of iron floating on his palms.

There are three more who are not dead... I will use another wave of long-range attacks. This new move is quite useful. I'll try it with you later.

A girl with a ponytail warned: Don't be careless.

The man nodded and was suddenly startled: No...how long will our cooling spray last?

A man with a thin beard said: For ten minutes, during this period, we can be guaranteed that all thermal imaging cannot find us, and even the sound can be blocked.

Then...why does that person seem to be targeting our location?

What's that person's total attribute value?

Normal range.

He has special skills... kill him, quickly.

Li Nuo looked in their direction and slowly put on his mask.

Walk over step by step.

The man with the thermal imaging skill drove several rounds of iron fragments together, twisting and flying towards Li Nuo like bullets.

After the sound of [Quen's Seal] exploding.

This group of attackers heard Li Nuo's voice:

Cripple you.
