Quadruple split

next day

Game time AM09:35

Innocence Continent, Misha County

A rather large team was slowly advancing on the path. There were about a hundred of them, ranging in age from eight to eighty years old. They were all men, women and children, and most of them were infected with the plague. .

Obviously, this is a group of refugees that can be seen everywhere in this land...

However, compared to most of the refugee groups who lacked food, clothing and clothing, the situation of these people can be said to be good. After all, they still have a sufficient number of tents to protect them from the wind and rain, and the two beasts of burden carry There was plenty of food, and at least these supplies would not allow them to starve or freeze to death before the disease claimed their lives.

All this is due to Mr. Marcus, the squire of Bunis Town. He used to be a clerk in Hofer City. After his tenure expired a few years ago, he took his family back to his hometown of Bunis Town. He is an upright, philanthropic and well-off family. He not only funded the construction of the only church in the town, but also takes time out to teach children from poor families to read and write. All in all, he is a well-loved and good person.

But fate will not be lenient to anyone. On the third day after Misha Town was completely enveloped by the plague, there were already hundreds of infected people in Bunis Town, and the Marcus family was among them.

This gentleman without a title or title discussed with the mayor all night, and finally decided to lead a group of townspeople to leave this disease-ridden hometown early the next morning.

The mayor and the only priest in the town will lead all the uninfected people to the eastern blockade, while the Marcus family decides to rush to Hofer City with the infected refugees. They heard that there are two members of the Dawn Sect. The Saint is about to arrive there, so she plans to take everyone there to try their luck, which is at least better than staying and waiting to die.

Marcus took out all the food stored in his cellar and contributed a large amount of silk and satin cloth for several craftsmen to sew into tents. Finally, he used his past contacts to get four packhorses from a city not far away. Beast, he divided these resources into two equal parts, and led more than two hundred infected townspeople on the road shortly after the first group of people left.

It is conceivable that such a team full of wounded cannot move too fast, even if their situation is much more favorable than other escapees.

Because Marcus was not willing to give up anyone, even though the team had only lost less than half of its members since its departure, it had never reached its destination.

"But this hellish journey will eventually come to an end." Marcus turned to his wife and showed a haggard smile, gently held the other's hands that had lost weight several times, and said softly: " Hold on, Molly, we are almost there, and Her Majesty the Saint will save everyone."

They were sitting in the only carriage in the team, and the others had no objection at all, not only because Marcus's wife was terminally ill, but more importantly because no one wanted to see the fat old man who was not tall because of the carriage. He fell down first due to fatigue.

"You are my pride, my dear." Molly Marcus leaned lightly on her husband, tremblingly stroking his cheek: "Don't forget, before the goddess and the saint, you are the first Saved everyone.”

A ray of haze flashed across Marcus's eyes. He gently knocked on the window sill at hand, and then said as if talking to himself: "How many people are left?"

"One hundred and three, sir." A low and soft reply came from the window. The owner of the voice seemed to be a woman who was not too old.

Marcus sighed sadly: "One hundred and three people...which five people have left us?"

"Old Dantès family, blacksmith Ruto and Miss Jane Eamon," the voice outside the window replied calmly: "The Dantès couple passed away peacefully. Little Dantès disappeared last night. Ruto wanted to get a A clean death, I satisfied him, and as for Miss Eamon..."

Marcus closed his eyes in pain: "She doesn't want to die, I know."

"Yes, she fought the pain until the last moment." The woman outside the window seemed to sigh softly, and then continued to say in her calm and low voice: "It's a pity that she didn't survive until dawn today."

"Okay, thank you for telling me this, Ms. Yuying. Everyone seems to think that old Marcus can't bear any more bad news." Marcus muttered in a low voice, then turned to look at his wife , smiled bitterly: "I couldn't save everyone, could I?"

The latter held his rough and generous palm and murmured as if in a dream: "No one can do better than you, my dear..."

"Maybe." Marcus closed his eyes tiredly and held his wife's slightly trembling body in his arms: "Promise me not to fall asleep, okay?"

…

On the roof of the carriage where the two of them were sitting, the woman who temporarily joined the team as an adventurer let out a long sigh, then lay down again, and said with a soft smile: "I have been working hard for a broken branch line with little reward. , I am really surprisingly emotional..."

She looks about twenty years old, has a very delicate appearance, has a pair of violet eyes, her long black hair is tied casually behind her, wearing a long red scarf that reaches her ankles, and a suit of the same color as her hair. He wears tight-fitting soft armor, with a slender unsheathed long dagger on each side of his thighs, and a short crossbow hanging on his waist.

Her name is Yu Ying, she is a chaotic and neutral assassin who has just entered the world of innocence for half a month. In reality, she is a senior in high school. She is an assassin with strong skills and thinks she has no emotions.

Yu Ying joined this refugee group a few days ago because she accidentally received a side mission. As an 11th-level assassin who can flexibly use crossbows and daggers, she is not only the strongest person in this team, but also The only person here who is not infected by the plague.

"There have been infected players on the forum. If I remember correctly, they should be level 7 warriors, level 9 priests and level 3 rangers..." She picked up the short crossbow and played with it in her hand, and whispered in her mouth: " And I have been in contact with these people all day without any sign of being infected, so the watershed for combat professionals to not be infected is the level of level 10 players, huh, the requirements are too low~"

Whoosh!

A small bird that just passed the head of Yu Ying was shot down in the air. The female assassin stood up lightly and waved her hand. The rare game was nailed to the feet of a black-faced man in the team with a long needle. After fluttering twice, it stopped moving.

"Hey, Mr. Longbottom~" Yu Ying squatted on the roof of the car and whistled to the frightened man not far away, and said with a smile: "Stew it and feed it to the children. Birds infected with the plague will not fly like that. Fast."

The 'black-faced' Longbottom, who has been running a bar in Bunis Town for more than ten years, leaned over and picked up the wild bird and smacked his lips: "I know, Miss Yuying, I just thought you were going to chop off my right foot~ "

"Can your feet be exchanged for the bounty?" Yuying chuckled, and then continued to lie on her back on the roof of the car in a daze. She was about to arrive at her destination, and she had to make plans for what was to come.

[There’s not much money to be made in this damn place. It’s said that the crackdown on gangsters in the Sanctuary is quite serious. How about trying your luck in the Violet Empire in the south? It’s best to join a place like the Assassin’s League. Hmm. , so handsome, being a killer who comes and goes without a trace is really suitable for me...]

Yu Ying took a look at one of her talents and thought proudly, then slowly closed her eyes and prepared to relax for a while.

A biting chill came!

The girl jumped up almost as soon as she closed her eyes. At the same time, she pulled out the dagger from the outside of her right leg with her backhand. Her left hand hanging at her waist quickly re-stringed the short crossbow.

【Kick Perception】

Passive talents

Effect: Your perception ability is extremely strong, the visual range is +10%, the hearing range is +10%, and you have a low chance of sensing an enemy unit within a radius of 50 meters when you are blind/eyes closed/extremely low visibility. .

Trait: It is easier to find hidden props in the map.

[Note: Close your eyes and feel with your heart, his private money is hidden in... Oh~ Praise for the great sixth sense, the person who becomes your boyfriend must be very unlucky. 】

"Is this a crappy game because the more powerful the skill notes are, the more deceitful it is?" Yuying was glad that her passive talent was effective, but this did not prevent her from complaining about the bad taste of the game Innocence.

The cold murderous intention in her perception disappeared, which forced Yu Ying to close her eyes again. Although this move was quite dangerous, trying to trigger [Kick Perception] again when the enemy's location was unknown was her only option now. choose.

Hold your breath, unable to feel...

Steady your heartbeat, you can't feel it...

Calm down, unable to feel...

"What the hell talent!"

Yu Ying couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and the next second, the chill just now came again!

【under! 】

"Everyone, spread out!" Yuying rolled away from the roof of the car without saying a word, then turned around and kicked the door open, shouting to Marcus who was startled in the carriage: "Come out! "

The latter was still in a confused state as he had just woken up from a nap, so he subconsciously asked: "What?"

"Be careful about your wife!" Yuying stared at the woman who was gradually losing her life in Marcus's arms. After hesitating for half a second, she decided to believe in her talent, so she gritted her teeth slightly and raised her short crossbow. Just pulled the trigger.

Blood splatters everywhere!

"Ms. Yuying!" Marcus slowly put down his arm that was lying in front of his wife at the critical moment, and said in a deep voice to the girl in front of him: "What do you want to do?"

Yu Ying stared blankly at the fat old man in front of her who had half of his arm pierced by a crossbow. Then she threw away her short crossbow and rushed into the car. She wanted to drag Marcus out of the car. come out.

result……

"Ahhhhh!"

With a piercing scream, Marcus was violently knocked out of the car door by a sudden force, and Yu Ying was also knocked out by his body that was still broad even though it had lost a few laps.

Marcus's wife howled and appeared in front of everyone. Her originally pale skin turned into a miserable gray, her muscles were constantly squirming under the skin, and blue veins were undulating like earthworms on her face that shriveled up in that moment. As he stood, the gentle and kind light brown pupils had completely disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes filled with madness and violence.

"Molly!" Marcus, who had just had three gashes ripped out of his back, exclaimed, and then he desperately threw himself at his wife, only to be kicked aside by Yu Ying.

"Although I don't really like the lines in such cliche movies, I have to say..." The girl pulled out her other long dagger with a swipe, turned back to Marcus and shook her head: "She is no longer Your wife!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The shrill scream was still harsh. Molly Marcus, who was originally weak, rushed to a middle-aged man at a speed that ordinary people could not match, then stretched out her skinny hands and tore out the man's throat.

The people around immediately broke out into a commotion, and then fled in all directions!

Yuying immediately swayed towards Marcus's wife with weird steps, and after easily dodging several claw attacks from the opponent, she raised two daggers at the same time!

【Lost step】+【Lactation】

puff! puff!

Two blood holes appeared on the woman who had turned into a monster at the same time. Yuying's back attack and back attack were perfect, causing a lot of damage to Molly almost instantly.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she was slapped violently seven or eight meters away by the other party's backhand. In an instant, she lost about 10% of her health.

"The lungs and spinal nerves were penetrated at the same time, but they can still move..."

Yuying rolled and stood up, and in the process threw out a large number of sharp black needles!

Fine blood holes appeared on the monster's right leg, but they did not affect her movements at all. 'Molly Marcus' turned around almost as soon as she was stabbed by the long needle, and rushed forward. To the girl closest to her.

At the same time, two more screams appeared from behind the crowd, and then a series of crashes, cries, and curses were heard in the distance!

【Something happened later! 】

Yu Ying, who had just activated [Speed ​​Burst] in an attempt to stop Molly, suddenly felt a thump in her heart, and the dagger in her hand was slowed down by half a beat in panic.

But there was one person who moved faster than her!

Marcus, whose right arm and back were dripping with blood, unexpectedly rushed over from the side at the critical moment. He pushed away the girl who was standing frozen in place, knocked his wife aside, and then turned around and rushed towards her. Yuying said loudly: "Something happened later. You go and take everyone to a safe place. Let me stop Molly!"

"What about you?" The girl already knew the answer in her heart, but she still said subconsciously: "You can't beat her!"

"That's right! Of course I can't beat her..."

Marcus hugged his wife tightly, and his slightly bloated body was torn out in a blink of an eye with a large number of bone-deep wounds, but this fat old man who had never learned any fighting skills did not show any signs of it. The color of pain.

Yu Ying held the girl who almost died, turned around and ran towards the back of the team.

Marcus's proud roar came from behind her...

"But I love her."
