Split personality

After 10 minutes, everyone returned to their tents;

"Damn it, our points are already negative!"

Compared with the negative 150 points, Shao Qian was more worried about Shao Qian's death, a warning from the system, and a complete break with Zhan Hu.

Huang Tongyun also had a look of uneasiness, "Sirius hasn't appeared yet, we are already like this, and it will only be more difficult in the future."

"Tsk tsk, it really is true that there was a 'wolf' before and a 'tiger'."

"What time is it, are you still in the mood to joke?"

Glaring at Ma Tao who was 'heartless', Ao Xue said unhappily, "We must keep a low profile for the next time! We must never separate again!"

Obviously, Ao Xue was expressing her dissatisfaction, and the object of her dissatisfaction was obviously Su Mo.

"Captain Ao, now is not the time to shirk responsibility." Su Mo didn't say anything, but Ma Tao said thoughtfully, "What's more, Su Mo's strategy is not wrong."

On the contrary, whether they split up or meet Zhan Hu in advance, it is a very correct decision!

Seeing that Ma Tao actually excused himself, Su Mo glanced at him unexpectedly, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Compared with insignificant losses, the information we gain is the most important and the most critical..."

"negligible?"

Ao Xue abruptly interrupted Su Mo's words, "If it wasn't for the chance of resurrection, Qianqian and the others would already be dead!"

Ao Xue's tone was straight up three octaves, showing how angry she was.

It is understandable for her to be so excited, after all, for Ao Xue, every member of Ziyue is a partner who shares life and death, and if anyone dies, she will feel heartache and blame herself.

Huang Tongyun even patted his chest and said happily, "Fortunately, there is still a resurrection, otherwise Sister Qian... Sigh, everyone is right to be careful, we were too reckless before."

Looking at the excited Ao Xue and the anxious Huang Tongyun, Su Mo frowned again.After thinking of something, he sneered and said, "Since you want to be a coward, you shouldn't have invited me in the first place."

"you……"

Su Mo's tone was obviously ridiculed, Ao Xue and Huang Tongyun showed angry expressions at the same time, and even Shi Jia, who had been silent all this time, was full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was tense, Ma Tao sighed helplessly, and pointed out, "Captain Ao, we are old acquaintances, and I have to say something... You were not like this before!"

Ao Xue's face turned red from Su Mo's anger, but after hearing Ma Tao's words, her body froze immediately.

"Captain Ao, I know you are very eager to lead Ziyue to victory...but you put too much pressure on yourself."

It was so big that even the most basic calmness and judgment were lost.

Since Xue Yuanping's betrayal until now, the burden on Ao Xue has increased visibly with the naked eye.Especially after entering the script, Ziyue's entire staff's survival pressure is all on her.

Because of this, when Shao Qian and Cha Junmin died one after another, overwhelmed, she finally lost her former calm and became more and more irritable.

Ma Tao's words awakened Ao Xue instantly, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Shivering suddenly, Ao Xue slumped on the stool like a deflated ball.After a long time, he smiled bitterly at Su Mo and said, "Sorry, I lost my temper."

Su Mo shook his head indifferently, but Ma Tao continued, "Captain Ao, this is a dream paradise, and death is the norm! If you lose your calmness and judgment because you are afraid of death, or even become timid, you will die faster!"

"What's more, although Shao Qian and the others lost a chance to be resurrected, they figured out the mechanism of the resurrection, which is not a bad thing."

Ma Tao's last sentence is the key point;

In fact, after learning that there is a resurrection mechanism, Su Mo has been thinking about how to let one of Ziyue die for the last time without much loss.

After all, only after dying once can we know what the resurrection mechanism is like, which is undoubtedly very important!

And the person Su Mo chose was either Shao Qian or Che Junmin;

It's not that there is any opinion on the two of them, but that Ziyue will lose the least by letting them both die.

Of course, this idea is too 'insidious', Su Mo can't say it outright.Although he doesn't care about the life and death of others, if this idea is put on the surface, no normal person will agree, and even become wary of him because of it.

Therefore, he had to let Ziyue and Zhanhu clash without a trace, and find a way to kill one of his own, and he had to hurry up before the Sirius mercenary group entered the script.

Acting separately is the opportunity Su Mo planted in advance.

However, even Su Mo didn't expect that before he had figured out how to let one of them die, death came ahead of time, and two of them died at once!

Both teammates wasted the opportunity to revive. Although the price was a bit high, it was barely within the bearable range.Compared to this, what Su Mo cared more about was that the other party's 'commander' had the same purpose as him!

Su Mo can calculate his teammates without any psychological barriers. Firstly, he has no relationship with Ziyue; secondly, the so-called "predation script" is just a slightly exciting game for him.The life of his teammates is just a 'weight' for him to play the game, even for himself.

He doesn't care about the life and death of his teammates, and he didn't expect the opponent's 'commander' to do the same!

More importantly, when he returned to the tent, he and the other party's 'commander' had reached a wordless tacit understanding...

Shao Qian and Che Junmin have not yet returned, and nine out of ten have returned to the original point and resurrected.Due to the 1000-meter limit of the mercenary channel, no one could contact the two of them at all. It was not until a few minutes ago that Ao Xue contacted Shao Qian, and the hanging heart was finally relieved.

Although they got in touch, it was not that easy for the two of them to get in quietly because of the strict prohibition of investigation by the Alliance Army.Fortunately, the safety of the two has been confirmed. As long as they can hide from the alliance army's investigation, everyone can still stay in the camp safely.

Money can turn ghosts around, and the alliance army is not a single piece of steel.In addition, Ziyue had just settled in the place not long ago, so the suspicion was not great at all. After spending a little money, Ma Tao easily fooled him.

Half an hour later, Shao Qian and Che Junmin finally returned to the team.Until now, everyone had the opportunity to ask what happened to them and the specific situation of the resurrection mechanism.

Che Junmin spat and said viciously, "Damn it, we were tricked by Zhan Hu's dark sorcerer!"

The task Su Mo gave them was to find a way to find out the news about Belen. It is best to approach him without any trace, and the identity of the player must be hidden.

At first, everything went very smoothly. When Su Mo and the others communicated with Zhan Hu, Shao Qian and Che Junmin found out the whereabouts and exact location of Belen.

Beren is a half-elf, with a handsome figure and piercing ears that are very conspicuous. The two who found the true master were very excited.

Shao Qian wanted to go back first to make a long-term plan, but Che Junmin, who was determined to make contributions, did not want to miss this great opportunity.Immediately proposed to approach Belen as a 'ranger', at least to have a face-to-face first, so as to leave a good impression.Although Shao Qian felt a little reckless, after looking around and finding nothing unusual, she agreed to Cha Junmin's proposal.

Unexpectedly, the Belen they found was a counterfeit, and it turned out to be a counterfeit by Zhan Hu's ghost warlock!

Although Shao Qian and Che Junmin didn't know they were being scammed at first, Su Mo's warning was still in their ears, and they didn't dare to reveal the player's identity at all, pretending to be 'locals' all the time.Moreover, the strength of the two is not bad, and they are both professions known for their speed. It is not so easy to kill them in one go.

However, the dark sorcerer pretending to be Belem seems to have identified the two players as players, and tricked them into an ambush circle several times.What's more, at the last moment, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself at the cost of self-explosion, dragging the two of them to die together!

Until they returned to the tent, Shao Qian and Che Junmin still had lingering fears.Especially Cha Junmin, from his hesitation, we can see how much shadow this death has left on him.

"This must be a trap laid by Zhan Hu in advance!" Shao Qian said with a serious face, "Their goal is very clear, and they locked Ziyue very early."

"So, if we didn't act separately, but went to find Belen together step by step, I'm afraid everyone will be deceived!"

Ao Xue gave Su Mo an apologetic look again, "Fortunately, you reacted quickly enough, not only killing one person, but also getting back very useful information from them."

There was no expression on Su Mo's face, while Ao Xue exhorted Shao Qian and the others, "You two have used up your chance to be resurrected, so you must be more careful next time, and you must not make any mistakes again!"

As soon as Ao Xue finished giving instructions, Ma Tao asked, "Is the resurrection going back to the initial position? This is troublesome..."

"no."

Shao Qian twitched at the corner of her mouth and said in detail, "There are three forms of resurrection. First, return to the initial point to resurrect, and the state will be restored to 100%; The state is only 70.00% of the original."

Now that the plot has not yet unfolded, and it is not far from the 'initial point', Shao Qian and the two will not hesitate to choose the 'initial point resurrection' when the state is fully restored.

"I see."

A gleam flashed in Su Mo's eyes, "There are three choices... Tsk tsk, this is very important information!"

"Come on!"

Shao Qian pursed her lips and said, "You will know once you die, who can you hide!"

"Sirius."

"Ok?"

Ao Xue didn't understand, so, "What does it matter if Sirius knows later? What's more, Zhanhu already knows, in case they tell Sirius..."

"Don't worry, they won't."

Ao Xue was interrupted by Su Mo as soon as she finished speaking, and immediately said dissatisfiedly, "How do you know? Don't forget that Zhan Hu's target is us! They chose to cooperate with Sirius, so they must show sincerity. Let's revive this matter." It's not a secret at all, and Zhan Hu has no reason to keep it secret!"

As soon as Ao Xue finished speaking, Ma Tao seemed to have figured out something, stood up immediately, and said in disbelief, "Unless they did it on purpose!"

"on purpose?"

Ao Xue, who had regained her composure, frowned, lowered her head and meditated...

Su Mo was not surprised that Ma Tao thought of the 'deliberate' point.

Zhan Hu's move of exchanging one for two seems to take advantage on the surface, but in fact it is very unwise.After all, the real plot has not yet unfolded, and completely offending Ziyue who is stronger than them at the beginning will only make their next actions more shackles.

"Whether it's intentional or not, Zhan Hu has already made a choice." After a moment of contemplation, Ao Xue decided, "We must accumulate more 'powers' before Sirius enters the script, so as to smooth out the disadvantage in points!"

And the only place that can accumulate 'potential', at present, seems to be only the line of the protagonist Belen.

"Belem will naturally need contact, however, I would not recommend wasting major time on him."

Seeing that everyone wanted to refute again, Su Mo shrugged and said indifferently, "Unless you don't mind cooperating with Zhanhu."

In fact, it is not impossible for Zhanhu and Ziyue to reach a cooperation.Although both sides killed the other two, it seemed to be breaking up on the surface, but only Su Mo knew that neither he nor the commander of the other side took it seriously.

However, Su Mo still does not suggest cooperation - the reason is very simple, he has already thought of a 'potential' that is more suitable for Ziyue!

"Cooperation? Heh heh, will you be tricked again?"

Che Junmin stared at Su Mo, and said sarcastically, "I don't have a second life to play with you!"

Although it was not stated clearly, the resentment between the lines of Che Junmin was vividly expressed.Obviously, he believed that the death of himself and Shao Qian was inextricably related to Su Mo's 'misjudgment'.

Su Mo smiled coldly and stopped talking;

Seeing this, Ao Xue, who had completely calmed down, had a flash of worry in her eyes...

"Sorry, it's all my fault!"

Ao Xue's abrupt apology made everyone confused.

"Sister Xue, what are you talking about, we..."

"It's my fault!"

Ao Xue interrupted Shao Qian, stared at Su Mo and said seriously, "I shouldn't question your judgment and decision without careful consideration."

After saying that, she stood up suddenly, with an unprecedented firm tone, "Su Mo is our commander, and this will never change! Don't forget, our enemy is Sirius, and only Sirius! Sirius hasn't appeared yet Well, we must not mess ourselves up!"

After she calmed down completely, Ao Xue discovered to her horror that she had made a fatal mistake—as the captain, she actually took the lead in causing internal strife!

"It's just a negative score. The script has just begun, so it's nothing at all. Qianqian, Junmin, I know you have resentment in your heart, but now is not the time to pursue responsibility."

After saying that, Ao Xue fixed her eyes on Su Mo again, and asked extremely firmly, "Tell me, what is your plan?"

Su Mo was indeed surprised;

Just a few seconds ago, he had already realized that there was a serious problem with this team, and he even decided in his heart to 'abandon the car to protect the handsome'.

Unexpectedly, this Captain Ao recovered so quickly, and even stood up in time to regroup the faintly disintegrated team——Ziyue, it seems that it is not hopeless yet.

Feeling emotional in his heart, Su Mo said, "You should be clear that the commander of Zhanhu is not a good guy. As long as the organizer is smart enough, he can use the limited twelve hours to accumulate enough momentum."

After a pause, Su Mo continued, "It's not uncommon to choose the route of Belem, but it is bound to come into contact with Zhanhu... Zhanhu's commander is smart and sensible enough, I don't think he will come into contact with us again." There will be a head-on conflict. Of course, obstruction is inevitable. In this way, even if we do our best, at most we can accumulate a 'momentum' equal to Zhanhu."

And the 'potential' of both sides must conflict;

If Long Hui didn't lie, his status as the illegitimate son of the royal family of Belem would give him the power to mobilize part of the alliance army under certain circumstances. Su Mo is not sure if the "protagonist's halo" is this, but at least one thing is certain - this crusade against the Tagil Hills is by no means as simple as "punishing evil and promoting good" on the surface!

Ao Xue and others can also think of this, but Su Mo didn't explain too much, but said, "The 'Protagonist Halo' is a trap set by Zhan Hu...or in other words, it's the 'meat dregs' they deliberately left for us."

Hearing this, Ma Tao's eyes lit up, "Do you mean to say that this 'meat dregs' should be left to Sirius?"

"good."

Su Mo nodded and continued, "So, instead of focusing on competing for the 'momentum' behind Belen, it's better to cooperate with Zhan Hu and give the 'protagonist halo' to Sirius without a trace."

"Give it to Sirius?"

Shao Qian said incredulously, "This is the 'protagonist halo', what if Zhanhu is lying to us? What if this is not meat at all, but the biggest 'fat'? Aren't we giving away the great 'potential' for nothing?" hand over to others?"

Shao Qian also frowned and said, "Qianqian is right. Besides, how can you be sure that Zhan Hu can also let go of his hatred and cooperate with us?"

If it weren't for the resurrection mechanism, Zhanhu and Ziyue would probably be immortal at this moment.

At the same time, the same voice of doubt is being staged by the Zhanhu mercenary group on the other side...
