As a player, can you be normal?

[Number of players in Novigrad: 17]

[The amount of gold coins obtained by killing players increases by 50%]

In a hotel somewhere, Adam Ireland closed the panel.

He is the captain of the player team Newgate Bulls. Just at noon, he received a system notification that a player named Kanter in the team was killed by a player.

About four days ago, Tom Page and my grandson Sun Bear in his team also died at the hands of players.

Well... as the captain, he can check the first two numbers of the player who killed his team member.

Therefore, Adam concluded that it was possible that the same person killed three of his team members.

And now, I don't know what happened again.

There is a mission in Novigrad that allows players to kill each other.

Adam was in trouble.

Who did I offend?

Who wants to mess with me?

Adam, don't be in a daze. The last member of his team, the female player Ni Yuexiang, came from the kitchen holding an apple.

I'm not in trouble. Why is it such a coincidence that the same person killed three people in our team? Adam took the apple, put it in his hand and said, I'm not in the mood to eat apples. I'm just thinking about it now. What do you mean? Who wants to target us?

Ni Yuexiang sat on the chair next to her, took out another apple from her arms, raised her slender thighs, and tilted her head. Her burgundy hair curtain covered half of her face. She looked at Adam's serious look, After thinking about it, he said: It's also possible that my grandson and the two of them leaked our information. The only permanent members of our team are you and me and Kanter. My grandson and Tom were both raised as pigs and can be replaced at any time. Xin, they both have neither talent nor loyalty.

Without ruling out this possibility, Adam thought of this, raised his head and said: No matter how prepared you are, it is only a matter of time before Novigrad becomes a battlefield for players.

Okay, okay, just be fully prepared. Ni Yuexiang touched his hair and said lazily: Adam, don't be nervous, you and I are the core strength of this team, we are both level 24 Players, except for those perverts in Kevir, no one is more powerful than you and me.

Adam just said: Don't take it lightly. Let's go out and take a look when night falls.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Adam and Ni Yuexing looked startled.

The two looked at each other. Ni Yuexing lifted up his skirt and touched the handle of the flying knife from the thigh strap.

Adam made a gesture and walked towards the door.

who?

Ah... we are the Joint Defense Bureau. I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I need your help in investigating something...

Adam opened the door a crack and saw a middle-aged police detective and three young people standing outside the house.

Sorry, sir, there is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation. The police detective took out a speaker from his coat and asked, Do you recognize this?

It must be said that in 1850, the loudspeaker had not yet been invented, so the loudspeaker the detective took out was obviously something left by the player.

Well...it's self-evident which player it is.

Li Nuo didn't expect this. The trumpet he left in Kaer Morhen actually followed him to Novigrad.

The moment Adam saw the horn, his face changed for a few tenths of a second.

Several guns were pointed at Adam's face.

It seems you know me, sir. The detective said, taking off his hat: Come with us, please don't worry, I am not a policeman, we are the eternal fire.

Don't be impulsive, I'll go with you. Adam raised his hand, and the risk of facing the gun point was too high, not to mention that there are a lot of NPCs in this world who can crush players to death.

At this time, the window of the living room was open, and Ni Yuexiang had already escaped from the hotel.

…

at the same time.

A neighborhood in Novigrad.

Detective Gerald handed the hash browns wrapped in oil paper to his partner who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage.

night snack.

His partner Hagrid took the hash browns, looked at them, and reluctantly took a bite.

You're still such a picky eater. Gerald sat up and nagged the young Detective Hagrid like an old man: You have only been on the job for two weeks, and you haven't seen the dark side of Novigrad yet. Wait. When you're my age you'll appreciate the comfort of cheap food every night.

Where to go next? Hagrid asked.

Gerald took out a cigarette and said: There is a murder on nearby Fifth Avenue. Let's go there to sort out the files and take them back. Then we can return the carriage to the Newgate family along the way.

Hagrid asked: There are dead people in the sewers in Novigrad every morning. It's just a murder. Why did you suddenly pay attention to it this time and let us sort out the files?

Geralf said: I heard that the appearance of the deceased this time was very special, as if he had been roasted into a human body in the desert.

Roasting people to do it? Hagrid shook his head: Novigrad has serious humidity all year round. How do you get people to do it?

Geralf laughed: If everyone knew about this kind of thing, why would the police do anything?

not far away.

A thin girl approached them from behind.

When the distance between them was less than five meters, the girl suddenly accelerated, and a half-person-high hammer appeared out of thin air in her palm.

She is a player named Nicole.

But when Nicole climbed up from the back of the carriage, approached the driver's seat, and smashed the front end of the carriage with a hammer!

Geralf's head was smashed on the spot, and Nicole's jaw holding the handle of the hammer suddenly felt numb. Hagrid blocked the steel hammer with his flesh and blood arm, and then his whole body was thrown away by a wave of air.

Hagrid shook his arm: Are you crazy?

He looked at Nicole, and Nicole looked at him. In their eyes, tiny red spots were flashing on each body.

In this player brawl initiated by the Mirror Master and limited to Novigrad, fleeting red spots will appear on the player's body to make it easier for other players to find the target.

We've reached this script. You can earn nearly a thousand gold coins by killing a player, which is much more valuable than completing the mission and running the branch line. Nicole dragged the long-handled hammer and walked step by step, revealing a cunning and cold expression. Smile: I'm not in the mood to play police games like you. Just let me smash you to death.

It seems that he is not a reasonable person. Hagrid suddenly turned around and ran away!

Nicole's hammer slammed to the ground, and then she was seen dragging the hammer to catch up quickly. Suddenly veins popped out on the back of her hand, and she swung the hammer violently, lifting the ground.

Skill: [Rock Blockade]!

The rubble rushed towards Hagrid like flying meteors, and she paid no attention to whether there was anyone on the street.

The glass of the shop was smashed by stones, and pedestrians passing by were injured, but it didn't matter to Nicole, who cared about the life and death of the NPC.

In the chaos, Nicole caught up with Hagrid who was blocked on the road. At the moment when Nicole raised the hammer, Hagrid suddenly took out his pistol, turned around and pulled the trigger. The muzzle of the gun was within reach of Nicole's body. 20 centimeters, the moment the bullet came out of the chamber, it hit her chest impartially.

However, there was no blood and the bullet bounced off Nicole.

Hagrid was stunned.

Disposable bulletproof shield. Nicole sneered and slammed the hammer: I didn't expect it!

ah--!

In a chaotic neighborhood.

Onlookers watched as a girl sat on the policeman, smashed Hagrid's arm with a hammer, and then stabbed Hagrid's neck with a dagger.

When the patrol police who received the call arrived, Nicole had already finished hunting the players.

Hey, don't move!

Faced with the warning, Nicole put the hammer away.

Looking around, he ran quickly towards a dark path and disappeared from everyone's sight in just 2 seconds.

The policemen on patrol were so dumbfounded that the target they had used to turn their guns had disappeared.

Half an hour later, based on eyewitness descriptions, Nicole's wanted portrait was ready.

Tonight, there are four other people like her who suddenly disregarded the lives of pedestrians and carried out terrorist attacks in the city. The Novigrad police suspected that this was a premeditated urban terrorist attack and tightened the control of the city. Great defensive measures.

…

10:20 p.m.

In a dark alley.

Niu Wenyuan rubbed his neck and walked up the stairs in the alley, with his player friend Chen Shan following beside him.

The two could see a man with red spots on his body at the top of the steps.

What are you doing...I was chatting with the old widow, why was I suddenly teleported here to participate in the killing of some players... Niu Wenyuan took out two pistols from the backpack compartment, handed one to Chen Shan, and said: You were also Teleported?

I've been in Novigrad, and this place is set so that I can't go out until I complete the mission. Chen Shan took the gun, pulled down the goggles, looked at the players above the steps, and said: The level is only 15, you can kill .”

The two loaded their guns and approached the player on the steps step by step... no, I should say, it was Marger on the steps.

Question. Marger suddenly asked: Which one is better, the level 100 Green Caterpillar or the level 50 Maaya Sakamoto?

Niu Wenyuan shouted: Are these two things the same concept!?

Hmph, let me change the question. Marger pointed at them and said: Assuming that players who rely on personal abilities to grow are the same species as poor people who rely on mutation to become superheroes, then what kind of players can rely on them? Technological superheroes are equated?”

Chen Shan was stunned: Brother... you don't want to say that you are fucking Bruce, do you?

Hmph...right or wrong. Marger covered the corners of his mouth, the moonlight shone on his face (he deliberately chose the position), and like a knight in the night, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky: I'll tell you. , what is the strongest player?

Just listen to him shouting to the sky: Lord of the Endless Void, Almighty King of Eternal Life, pass through the gate of the abyss and emerge, the great Yog-Sothoth!

Niu Wenyuan laughed: Hahaha... Damn it, where are you summoning the DLC?

The next second, the sound of heavy footsteps appeared in the alley.

In just a few blinks of an eye, dozens of bodyguards dressed in black and holding guns and knives walked out from the forks in front and back of the alley.

Niu Wenyuan and Chen Shan, who were surrounded by a group of big men, were stunned on the spot.

All they can do is wait for the heavy man to pick them up, or commit suicide with a gun.

The two of them looked at Marjie under the moonlight from a distance, and looked at each other blankly: It turns out... the strongest thing is shaking people.

…
