femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 28
Jize's expression changed, he hesitated, "What exactly do I need to do?"
He wasn't very surprised by Lin Cen's words, he should have heard about the skill [Deprivation] before that.
"Don't be nervous." Lin Cen smiled, "I can take away your skills, but whether you can successfully hit the target has a lot to do with the player's mental state. President Ji is extremely talented, and you may fail if you do it rashly, but if you If you are willing to cooperate voluntarily, the probability of success will be greatly increased.”
What Ning Mianmian was thinking about was another thing. She remembered that the skill [Deprivation] could only be used once in a dungeon, or was it randomly deprived.But now Lin Cen opened his mouth to two, probably as the system said, with the increase in spiritual power, the skills have also evolved.
Thinking about it this way is really enviable.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jize looked at the terrified expressions of the people around him, struggled a bit, and finally compromised: "Okay, I promise you. But don't mention the deal between us, I don't want them There's pressure. Let them think you're helping out of a passion."
He solemnly said: "I will arrange the members of the guild to follow your arrangement. After the dungeon is over, I will also cooperate with your skills. I hope you can fulfill your promise and protect everyone."
Ning Mianmian looked at his serious expression, and suddenly remembered a word - the benevolence of a doctor.Would rather sacrifice his own skills to protect others, Jize would not be a doctor in the real world, he would be so impartial.
Lin Cen didn't show any emotion, but said, "It's a deal."
Night fell quickly, and the shape of the safe zone changed again.
Everyone avoided the poisonous fog and walked forward, but found that the area ahead that was not eroded by the poisonous fog became narrower and narrower. In the end, there was only a road about two meters wide, and there was no other choice.It was as if something was deliberately pulling them here.
This seems to be a road in the mountains, with dry soil under the feet and dense bushes on both sides. The branches and leaves are hidden in the black poisonous mist, shaking with the wind from time to time, making rustling noises.
If you look at it from the map, there is only a thin line left in the safe zone here, and it looks as fragile as it will be broken soon.Coupled with the fact that they had just encountered the ghost girl vine last night, the newcomers were terrified.
But they soon discovered that as long as they walked forward in an orderly manner within the scope of this road, even though the poisonous fog was within reach, they would not be poisoned.
And the map shows that if you walk along this road for a while, you will reach an open safe area.So everyone couldn't help speeding up their pace, wanting to leave this place quickly.
Lin Cen walked at the front of the line, Ning Mianmian followed behind her, and J Ze stayed at the end of the line.After an unknown amount of time, dots of red light suddenly appeared in front of him.
The light is like a match that has just been struck in the dark, quiet and soft, not dazzling.
Someone behind him exclaimed: "It's a lantern, why did it suddenly light up by itself!"
Lin Cen stopped and squinted his eyes.
I saw a big red lantern on the branch of every tree in front of me, the height was almost within reach of ordinary people.Those lanterns suddenly lit up as if they sensed someone coming.Through the thin lampshade, one can vaguely see the dancing candle flames inside.
Those lanterns stretched tens of meters from a place not far from them in front.
And the position tens of meters away is the open safe zone.
There is hope, but it will clearly be an uphill battle.Such a strange scene made the atmosphere suddenly tense, and Ning Mianmian called out the dagger and held it in his hand, ready to enter the battle at any time.
There was another exclamation behind him, "Someone! Someone!"
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared under each lantern.
Those figures were tall or short, fat or thin, standing upright on both sides of the road.He remained motionless, with his head hanging low, and most of his face was hidden by shadows, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Lin Cen said, "Get your weapons and follow me."
After finishing speaking, she continued to walk forward, her eyes were calm, and the long and narrow blade of the sickle behind her was shining with awe-inspiring light.
Under the lantern closest to them stood a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old.When Lin Cen walked in front of her, she suddenly raised her head and looked over.
The little girl's face was a lifeless bluish-gray, and her black pupils almost occupied the entire eyeballs, making her look very creepy.
She raised her face and smiled, and said in a childish voice, "Big sister, I will let you go if you guess the lantern riddles correctly."
Hearing this, Ning Mianmian subconsciously glanced at the lantern.To the tassel that hung below the lantern was tied a small rolled-up white slip of paper.
There was a discussion behind them, but no one dared to go forward to guess the lantern riddles.In the dungeon, one wrong step could lead to irreversible consequences.If they guess wrong, they don't know what punishment is waiting for them.
Seeing that no one was willing to take the initiative to guess, Lin Cen raised his hand and took down the small white paper roll and unfolded it.
I saw a line written on it: "Sitting is also lying down, standing is also lying down, walking is also lying down, lying down is also lying down."
Without thinking, she said, "Snake."
"Guess right, guess right!" The little girl clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes narrowed with a smile, "Big sister, I like snakes very much, can you give me one?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the NPC say that they guessed right.It seems that it is just an ordinary lantern riddle, without any difficulty.But when the little girl proposed to "send her a snake", the hearts of the players rose again.But if you refuse the NPC's request, there may be even more dire consequences, so you can only agree.
Lin Cen said, "Yes, but do you know where there are snakes?"
"Go forward, there is a zoo." The little girl stared at her for a while, her tone was a bit strange, "I want the snake raised there, big sister, you have to be careful. I will reward you when you find it Woolen cloth."
Someone whispered behind him.
"Damn, is it really just catching snakes?"
"This look is like sending someone to die."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Chairman Ji said that this person is very powerful..."
Lin Cen turned a deaf ear to those voices, and just said to the little girl, "I'll give it to you when I come back."
The little girl was in a good mood after hearing this, and said goodbye to her bouncingly: "I'll wait for you, see you big sister!"
Then she returned to her original position, her head hanging down, and she remained motionless.
Lin Cen walked forward with a group of people. Under the second lantern was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He was wearing a blue and white school uniform, which was the most common style among high school students.Her skin was as pale as paper, and her lips were very red, like watercolors painted on.
He made the same request as the little girl just now: "Everyone, guess the lantern riddles."
Lin Cen was about to step forward to take down the note, but was stopped by the boy.
"Big sister, you have already guessed, so you can't guess anymore." His voice was cold, with faint resentment, "Too greedy is not a good thing."
Fortunately, after gaining experience, everyone's reaction became much more positive.
Seeing that Lin Cen could no longer guess, a man immediately stepped forward and took the note down.
He read: "One mu of land with no head and no tail."
The man pondered for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead: "It is...it is a fish."
He raised his head and looked at the boy nervously.
"That's right." The boy smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Big brother, I really like fish, and I would like to ask you to catch one for me."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I see."
The boy was very satisfied: "I have prepared a thank you gift, and I will wait for you here."
Holding the note, the man returned to the crowd, wiped the sweat off his face, and felt that he was luckier than Lin Cen.Literally speaking, snakes are naturally harder to catch than fish.But he didn't think that these ghosts wanted ordinary fish and snakes, so he could only pray secretly that he would find an ordinary small fish in the zoo ahead.
After getting familiar with the routine, the team moved a lot faster.Lantern riddles are generally not very difficult, and the answers are all animals, which can be easily guessed.
Occasionally, someone couldn't think of the answer, and others boldly reminded them in a low voice.The NPCs under the lantern acquiesced in this behavior and just pretended not to hear it.After guessing the correct answer every time, the NPCs also asked the corresponding players for the animals on the answer, including rabbits, cats, deer...etc, and expressed their gratitude.
Seeing the last solitary lantern left in front of him, Ning Mianmian was the only one in the team who hadn't guessed the lantern riddles yet.
It wasn't that she didn't want to guess on purpose, it's just that everyone else in the guild was very eager, as if they wanted to finish guessing and receive the task as soon as possible.Moreover, she found that the order of guessing the lantern riddles was not necessarily related to the difficulty of catching the animals in the riddles. What she got was all a matter of luck, so she didn't worry about it.
A slender figure stood under the last lantern. It was a middle-aged man with sickly white skin, protruding eyeballs, skin and bones, like a zombie without any muscle or blood.
Seeing everyone, he grinned open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and smiled creepily.
"Hello." The man said slowly, with a hoarse voice, "I have prepared lantern riddles for everyone, please be sure to show your face."
His eyes rolled around, and then fell on Ning Mianmian, "It seems that you are the only one who hasn't participated in our activities yet. Little girl, you are so lucky."
Ning Mianmian frowned.Although the man was smiling, his eyes were extremely sinister, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.However, she also saw a lot of strange ghosts along the way, and she was mentally prepared, so she ignored the man and just took down the note hanging under the lantern.
She unfolded: a little bit big, everyone has it.
Ning Mianmian's heart skipped a beat, she was silent for a moment, raised her head to look at the man, and said slowly, "It's the head."
As soon as the voice fell, the expressions of the people behind him changed.
Before they guess what animal, they need to help the NPC find this animal and send it over.And now that Ning Mianmian has drawn a lantern riddle, the answer is actually "head", which means...
"You guessed right, you guessed right!" The man laughed maniacally, his eyes filled with cruel joy, "Little girl, I don't like animal heads, so I need to trouble you to pay more attention. After this is done, I will I will give you a thank you."
Ning Mianmian stared at him coldly, feeling a little complicated.She never expected that the last question would have a sudden change in style, such a perverted question.She can't kill people for a mission, she has to find a way...
The members of the Long Night Guild behind her also changed their faces, and a few of them even shrank back, for fear that Ning Mianmian would turn their minds on themselves.
The man looked at Ning Mianmian's heavy expression, and added flatteringly: "I like fresh ones, preferably fresh ones, don't make me wait too long..."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ji Ze turned to the man with a cold face and said, "Stop trying to sow discord here, you..."
At this time, a piercing cold light flashed.
Ning Mianmian only felt the strong wind blowing over her cheeks, and the hair on her temples floated up.Then something fell in front of her, and was picked up by a slender hand a second before it touched the ground.
The man who was showing his teeth and claws just now, his neck became empty, and his head was gone.
The man should be a zombie, already dead, not only did not shed a drop of blood, but his body was still standing upright, as if he hadn't reacted to the changes in front of him.
But the head that was removed was still very active, the smile froze on his face, and after realizing what happened just now, his expression suddenly became flustered.
Lin Cen stuffed the man's head into his own hands expressionlessly, and she looked at the eyes rolling around in panic, and asked warmly, "It's fresh, do you like it?"
He wasn't very surprised by Lin Cen's words, he should have heard about the skill [Deprivation] before that.
"Don't be nervous." Lin Cen smiled, "I can take away your skills, but whether you can successfully hit the target has a lot to do with the player's mental state. President Ji is extremely talented, and you may fail if you do it rashly, but if you If you are willing to cooperate voluntarily, the probability of success will be greatly increased.”
What Ning Mianmian was thinking about was another thing. She remembered that the skill [Deprivation] could only be used once in a dungeon, or was it randomly deprived.But now Lin Cen opened his mouth to two, probably as the system said, with the increase in spiritual power, the skills have also evolved.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jize looked at the terrified expressions of the people around him, struggled a bit, and finally compromised: "Okay, I promise you. But don't mention the deal between us, I don't want them There's pressure. Let them think you're helping out of a passion."
