Chapter 348 Running in both directions
Chapter 348 Running in both directions
Ancient town, under the rain.
A man holding a green umbrella and wearing a green raincoat kept looking around as if he was searching for something.
He was wearing a monkey-faced mask on his face, and it was exactly the monkey-faced merchant.
Originally, he wanted to give up the mission of killing the miracle worker. If he stayed in the Misty Rain Inn like the other players, he would be helpless against them.
After all, they have gained the trust of the female ghost in the Misty Rain Inn. With the other party providing shelter, perhaps only that madman can kill her.
However, even the End of Days believers know very little about the madman. According to records, the madman is moody and mentally unstable. They had a good chat and became close friends the last time they met, but they might suddenly attack and kill people the next time they meet. A End of Days believer once died at his hands.
For the sake of his own life, the monkey-faced merchant naturally did not want to have any contact with the other party.
However, he was surprised to find that the miracle worker actually left the hotel alone, and even though it was raining, he had no intention of looking back.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so confident that he was not satisfied with completing the task of this horror game with the minimum standard, but instead planned to strive for a higher evaluation!
In this case, you will have a lot of room for maneuver.
If I'm lucky, I still have hope of killing the miracle worker and getting the huge reward from the End believers.
"The world outside is so huge, there are countless heroes and powerful characters. If I want to stand out from them, I must seize every opportunity."
A character like him, who came out of the dungeon, is considered a novice. Even if he joins the Merchants Association, the other party will not trust him immediately. Even if he has amazing potential, he will not be trained immediately. He needs to go through a long probation period to verify that he really has no problems.
This is an essential process for major forces to maintain stability and long-term existence.
The monkey-faced merchant could completely understand this, but he was extremely insecure inside and wanted to become stronger quickly instead of just wasting time like this.
In the rain before us, there also appeared a person wearing a green raincoat.
Judging from her body shape, this was a thin woman. She paused for a moment, but still walked towards this side.
Just as they were about to pass each other, the monkey-faced merchant said, "You are the Rainy Night Killer, right?"
The thin woman stopped walking and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, what are you talking about? How could I be a murderer on a rainy night?"
However, as she finished her words, her green raincoat quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a red afterimage and rushing towards the monkey-faced merchant.
A black stick also appeared in the monkey-faced merchant's hand. He waved the stick, flicking away the red afterimages again and again. His movements were relaxed and freehand, as if he was playing with a child.
The monkey-faced businessman said in a calm voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to arrest you, I just want you to help me do something."
"I want you to help me kill someone. In return, I can help you gain stronger power so that you can better enjoy the pleasure of killing."
The thin woman's body was shaking violently, her voice full of depression and hysteria: "Why? Why do you all want me to kill someone? I obviously don't want to do this kind of thing..."
The monkey-faced businessman said calmly, "But you have no choice, right?"
"If you don't want to die, then do as I say. I don't even have to do it myself. As long as I reveal your identity, you will be in big trouble. I think you should know this better, dear Ms. Miao."
The thin woman was caught in a fatal position. She wanted to kill the man, but she couldn't do it at all. The fighting power of the monkey-faced man in front of her was too strong. She was no match for him. The monkey-faced businessman said, "Let's go. I'll take you to get stronger power first."
The power of this Rainy Night Killer is already very strong compared to ordinary players, but the player named Miracle Master is too evil. To be on the safe side, he has to take the Rainy Night Killer to kill a few people first to make the Killer even more powerful.
……
……
Su Ming was wearing a red raincoat and walking in the rain.
The red raincoat on him was the one that the murderer had taken off. The taboo of staying away from red raincoats means staying away from the murderer in red. However, the murderer came to the department store, killed the clerk, and changed his clothes. So the man in the green raincoat became untrustworthy.
The reason why Su Ming wore this red raincoat was because there was not only the red-clothed killer in the rainy night. If someone walked in the rain for a long time without wearing a raincoat, more terrible things would happen.
"If I were the monkey-faced merchant and saw me coming here, I would definitely follow me to see if there was any chance to kill me."
I don’t know what kind of benefits he can get from this, but it must be a very valuable reward.
Therefore, the other party will not give up easily, but will seize every opportunity to push this matter to a smooth completion.
"But this time, the forbidden place is the home ground I chose!"
In addition to triggering the taboo, his purpose in coming here was to set a trap to see if he could kill the monkey-faced merchant here.
If the other party doesn't die, it will be a time bomb that may affect his subsequent plans at any time.
If this guy comes out and stabs him at the critical moment and ruins his plan, then things will be really troublesome, and his perfect plan to pass the level may be ruined.
Therefore, what the monkey-faced merchant didn't know was that not only did he want to kill Su Ming, but Su Ming also wanted to kill him. It was a two-way race to some extent.
Su Ming held an umbrella and came to a quaint two-story courtyard. Nowadays, relying on the excellent strength of reinforced concrete, it is not difficult to build multi-story buildings. But going back a little bit, a two-story building was a symbol of wealth and status. After all, land was not expensive at that time. Instead of building a two-story building, it was better to use larger land and build a one-story building with twice the area.
The gate of the courtyard was closed. Su Ming came to the gate, raised his right hand, and knocked on the door four times, three long and one short, and then waited.
A few minutes later, the door was opened and a middle-aged man who looked rather plump opened it.
When he saw Su Ming, his face changed slightly and he closed the door directly. However, Su Ming was faster and had already half of his body in.
Su Ming said, "It seems that I am not the person that the department store owner is waiting for!"
"It's raining so hard, I wonder if the boss would mind if I come in and sit for a while?"
The fat on the wealthy man's face trembled, and he showed a very forced smile: "Of course no problem, please come in."
