Chapter 260 [Resurrection from the Dead]
Chapter 260 [Resurrection from the Dead]
The vehicle was driving on the road, its destination being the Sega apartment building.
Luo Xi and Mao Ge already knew which rooms in that building were 'empty' and could use them as their temporary gathering place.
There are actually some places worth visiting around the Sega apartment building.
For example, you can get all kinds of information, including card intelligence, at the 'Bikki Bottom Card House'. The owner, Hao Xiuwen, is a senior memory collector who is obsessed with collecting and studying cards. Moreover, he and Luo Xi have a good temper.
In addition, there is a 'Rainbow City' around the Sega apartment building, which contains the 'Beans Game House'.
This is a large-scale comprehensive level scene with many mini-games, where you can get some useful cards.
It seemed that I had offended the administrator there last time, and became an unwelcome guest.
However, Luo Xi did not plan to challenge the level scene immediately.
For the Memory Collector, the motivation for challenging level scenes is to obtain cards.
Whether it is the [Memory] cards necessary for preserving memories, or to obtain various types of attack and defense cards that can enhance strength, or even just to satisfy the sense of excitement, the desire to collect, or simply to satisfy the perverted killing.
Level scenes are the most suitable places.
“If life is too busy, so busy that you can only feel pain, then it is not life; when you realize this but cannot change it, then you might as well imagine yourself as a fairy traveling the world, because sooner or later, a fairy will escape from the mortal world.”
This is a quote from "The Player's World".
"Stop the car!" Luo Xi suddenly said, and An Zhiyan, who was driving, immediately stepped on the brakes.
Lin Qiqi next to her gave her a thumbs up, which means that you are gradually getting the hang of it, that is, do it first, and then ask why.
"What's wrong?" An Zhiyan turned her head and asked.
Just when she thought Luo Xi would still coolly shake his head and not give her any explanation, the other party said: "Let me introduce you to an interesting person."
After saying that, he opened the car door and walked out.
The reason why he suddenly remembered the sentence in "The Player's World" just now was because Luo Xi saw the "Bikki Bottom Card Store" in the alley over there. Since he was passing by, of course he should go and see his old friend.
By the way, let me ask if there are any interesting rumors recently.
Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan also got out of the car.
It was obvious that neither of them had ever been to this place, let alone knew about the card shop here.
The main problem is that the store is located in a small alley. Even if you just walk past the alley entrance in front, you will never find it unless you look inside.
Hao Xiuwen also said that the business of this store is very average. The customers who come are old customers or people who are looking for memories nearby. In his opinion, as long as he can earn some "memories" every day, he can maintain it.
Of course, not everything this seemingly lying shop owner said was true.
But Luo Xi did not expose those lies which he thought were extremely childish, because "lies" are part of human beings, it's just that the starting point of lying is different.
When they reached the door, Lin Qiqi suddenly stepped forward and protected Luo Xi behind her.
At the door of the card shop, there was a man standing. He looked fierce. Although he was not tall, he had very broad shoulders and looked very strong. His muscles held up his jacket, and he was full of momentum and explosive power.
At this moment, the other party was smoking. His hands were very big, and his thick knuckles were covered with thick calluses and strange tattoos.
The moment this person saw Lin Qiqi, his eyes flashed with ferocity and he grinned.
"Hey, Brother Qi, why are you here?"
With just one sentence, An Zhiyan could no longer hide her curiosity. She looked at Lin Qiqi, then at the ferocious man, as if trying to guess the relationship between the two.
"Hyena, are you alone?" Lin Qiqi asked with narrowed eyes.
"How is that possible? You know that wherever big brother goes, I go too. Seventh brother, have you changed your mind and come to find big brother?" As Hyena spoke, his eyes quickly swept across Luo Xi and An Zhiyan. His eyes were extremely aggressive, and one could clearly see his undisguised ill intentions.
Lin Qiqi smiled and said, "I don't have that plan."
"That's a pity. My elder brother always talks about you."
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here? This is not your area of activity." Lin Qiqi gently pinched Luo Xi with her fingers, and the latter understood. Just as Luo Xi was about to take action and the hyena was about to speak, someone in the store said, "Hyena, let them in."
The voice was deep and full of dominance.
The hyena smiled, opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Qiqi pinched Luo Xi again.
What I mean is, don't do anything yet, wait and see.
He immediately took the lead and walked in, followed by Luo Xi and An Zhiyan, and Hyena also walked in, looking back and forth between Luo Xi and An Zhiyan.
The card shop was in chaos at the moment.
It was obvious that someone had fought here.
There was blood on the ground.
Some shelves were smashed to pieces, and various game cards, figures and toys were scattered all over the floor.
Over there on the ground, the guard dog belonging to Hao Xiuwen was lying in a pool of blood. Next to him was a burly man over 1.9 meters tall, wearing a large motorcycle helmet, leather armor with iron nails embedded in it, iron chains wrapped around his hands, his clothes were torn, and the goggles on his helmet were broken, with teeth marks visible.
Seeing this scene, one can imagine that this strong man had fought with the watchdog before, but in the end, the strong man won.
This guy is quite extraordinary.
"Xiao Qi, I haven't seen you for a while!"
There was a person sitting on a chair over there near the counter.
The man was wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up. His muscles were extremely taut, and his arms were thick and long, looking very powerful. His ten fingers were covered with rings.
He had a cigarette in his mouth, stubble on his face, and his facial features were rough yet with a hint of coldness.
He is definitely the kind of person who you can tell is a tough guy at first glance. If you look closely, you can see a person lying on the cash register.
The other person was covered in blood, one of his hands was nailed to the table by a dagger, and a finger was missing.
The ring is gone.
It’s Hao Xiuwen.
Anyone who is not blind can see that these three men came to rob. They were very powerful and killed the guard dog. After torturing Hao Xiuwen, they nailed him to the table and cut off the finger on which he was wearing the ring.
It is not surprising that something like this happens in a place like the Day of Imprisonment, where the 'Recollectors' are transformed.
On the contrary, a store that sells various cards is like a bank in the old world. It would be abnormal if it was not targeted by some people with ulterior motives.
Some people cannot beat the guard dog, so they come to rob, which means they are losing their lives.
But not everyone can beat the watchdog.
There were still some masters during the days of confinement.
Lin Qiqi also noticed the situation and was about to speak when Luo Xi had already walked over as if no one was around.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Luo Xi walked closer and looked at Hao Xiuwen.
He was still breathing, but in a very miserable state, already dying.
Luo Xi turned his head and looked at the burly man wearing a helmet over there: "The guard dog is very powerful. Although you killed the dog, the dog also bit you. Unfortunately, the dog has rabies, which is a special [Disease] card effect. When you feel some numbness in the wound, it is too late. The virus will numb your nervous system. You can no longer move, not even move."
Everyone in the room was stunned.
"I didn't expect the dog to be so powerful." The hyena standing at the door secretly rejoiced that his elder brother had asked the lion to deal with the dog. If he had been asked to go up, he would probably have been hit as well.
Luo Xi then reached out and patted the dying Hao Xiuwen on the table: "Get up, your injuries are not serious, you won't die yet, don't worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Xiuwen, who had already stepped one foot into the underworld on the table, actually struggled to get up.
Luo Xi reached out and pulled out the dagger that was piercing the opponent's palm.
Then, he looked at the 'gangster' sitting on the chair, who had a gloomy face and a strange confusion, and said, "I'll give you the knife back."
"okay"
Luo Xi suddenly took a step forward and stabbed the opponent's neck.
puff!
Without any hesitation, he quickly pulled out and stabbed the opponent in the chest again. At the same time, he moved closer, avoiding the opponent's arm that was grabbing him, and then stabbed him seven times in the neck, chest, and ribs.
At the same time, Lin Qiqi also took action, activating a card between his fingers, and released [Soul Shock] at the hyena who had just reacted at the door. When the other party was stunned for a moment, he also stabbed it with a knife.
However, the hyena seemed to have activated some kind of "ability" at the critical moment.
He took a step back and the knife brushed along his arm, leaving a bloody wound.
But soon, there was severe pain in the back again.
Later, An Zhiyan also took action.
But the hyena reacted very quickly.
He grabbed An Zhiyan's neck with his backhand. The huge power difference was revealed at this moment, and he pinched the other's neck tightly.
"Damn it, stop it, let my brother go."
Luo Xi was covered in blood at this time, and he turned his head to look at the hyena.
There was something indescribable in his eyes, a lot of madness in his indifference, extreme cruelty wrapped in cold emotions, and it was like a cat looking at a mouse that was barking at him.
Then he ignored the other party, rummaged through the pockets of the 'big brother', and found a bloody finger inside.
It belongs to Hao Xiuwen.
He threw the severed finger and the ring on it to Hao Xiuwen over there.
"You'll have to get a new dog."
"Hmm? Okay!" Hao Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if waking up from a dream.
And the hyena over there was frightened by someone's eyes for the first time.
All he could think about was the look that person had just given him.
"How is this possible? I have activated the beast blood and should be immune to all fears." At this moment, the hyena almost couldn't control the fear in his heart. It was like he was trying to calm the water in his heart, but someone was stirring it with a thick stick.
Over there, the 'Mad Lion' wearing a helmet was motionless. Everyone in the room knew and believed that he was affected by rabies, his body was numb and he couldn't move.
Soon after, the hyena also felt weak all over.
"Wait a minute, I wasn't bitten by a dog, why did this happen?"
An Zhiyan, who was being strangled by him, tried hard to break free.
"This is the effect of the sedative. Large doses can produce full body paralysis."
She coughed a few times, then kicked the hyena hard to the ground.
Apparently, the battle was over in just a few seconds.
But Lin Qiqi shouted at this moment: "Luo Xi, be careful, that person can be resurrected, he is [Resurrected from the Dead]!"
