Xiao Jin clenched the bill in his hand, listened to the voice beside him, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
It turns out he was waiting for them here!
Xu Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"
Then, Xiao Jin discovered that the bills in his hand could no longer be put back into the system backpack, or even into the space, as if they were locked in his hand by some force.
"Xiao Jin..." At this moment, Xu Qing on the side spoke in a heavy tone.
Xiao Jin, who had anticipated this, put the bill in her pocket to make sure it was not lost, then turned around and looked around.
The darkness began to wriggle, and a large number of shadows appeared from the cracks in the walls, floor, and ceiling, gradually condensing into human shapes.
"It's a shadow man!" Xu Qing reminded in a low voice, quickly loading the laser gun in his hand and looking around vigilantly.
Those shadow people had no facial features and their bodies were as black as ink, but their arms were extremely conspicuous - the left arm was a sharp electric drill, and the right arm was a bayonet that gleamed with cold light.
They stalked through the darkness at astonishing speeds, as if blending into the darkness.
"The bills cannot be taken back into space. There must be a reason why the system is set up this way." Xiao Jin analyzed calmly, his eyes sweeping over the shadows.
"It's only a possibility. The Shadow Man will prioritize hunting down those who hold the notes."
Xu Qing also said: "I think we need to take turns holding the bills to distract the shadow man."
Xiao Jin nodded: "And it's better to meet up with the others first. I'm worried that they won't be able to keep the bills."
This is not about any individual's gain or loss. The integrity of the bill is also related to Xiao Jin's own mission reward. To put it bluntly, Xiao Jin doesn't trust others.
Xu Qing understood her implication and sneered: "Great, I have the same idea as you."
"Okay, let's charge!" Xiao Jin raised his long sword, tapped his feet lightly, and shot out directly, trying to break through the encirclement of the shadow men.
Xu Qing shot one shadow man at a time. The blue laser beam hit the shadow man and pierced him instantly.
Xiao Jin and the other man were not slow, they charged downwards with all their might, and soon found Nie Xinxin and the other two who were surrounded by the shadow men.
Nie Xinxin and the other two are in pretty good condition at the moment.
Obviously, after getting along with each other, these three people have been able to cooperate very well.
Seeing Xiao Jin and the other person suddenly rushing out, Cui Mingyang was extremely happy: "I estimated that you should be here soon."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and threw the bill in his hand to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin immediately understood what he meant and raised his hand to take it.
This action also attracted the attention of many shadow people. Now, Xiao Jin had the most bills around.
Countless shadows were sharpening their knives and rushed towards Xiao Jin. The next second, they started fighting with Xiao Jin. There were also many shadow people hiding in the dark, ready to launch a sneak attack.
After throwing away the hot potato, Cui Mingyang finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, he was still a little short of it and almost failed to keep up with Nie Xinxin's movements, and he had to find time to look after Wang Bing.
Now that the bill has been handed over, the shadow man's attention has been mostly diverted. While fighting himself, he can also help Xiao Jin find the shadow's weakness.
A shadow!
Speaking of weaknesses, the first thing Cui Mingyang thought of was light.
Every night, the interior of the building becomes pitch black, which also provides great convenience for the shadow people.
Thinking of this, Cui Mingyang took a few steps back to behind Xu Qing's mechanical puppet, then took out a powerful flash bomb from his pocket and threw it directly at the group of shadows.
"Close your eyes." Several people subconsciously followed Cui Mingyang's words.
The next second, there was a loud "boom!" and the flash bomb exploded. The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire corridor.
The shadow man was illuminated by the strong light and let out a shrill scream, and his body began to collapse.
However, the light only lasted for a few seconds, and the shadow man quickly regrouped and pounced on the crowd again.
"Damn it, Guang can only suppress them temporarily!" Cui Mingyang gritted his teeth and quickly ran towards Xiao Jin.
"We have to find another group of people." It's been so long and they still haven't arrived. I'm afraid they've encountered some trouble.
Cui Mingyang thought that with Zhan Wenchen's brain, he would not fail to think of gathering with other people. After all, if they relied on the three of them, who were all mediocre in martial arts, they would only be torn to pieces by the shadow people.
"Let's go." Xiao Jin also thought of it.
She slashed and forced back a large number of shadow people, and then everyone began to retreat downstairs.
In fact, they were right. Zhan Wenchen was indeed in trouble now.
They were unlucky as they encountered the only special shadow among the shadow people - a huge black shadow with a height of two meters and five meters holding a huge machete.
"Change people!" Zhan Wenchen shouted and threw the ticket to Wang Zhongyan on the other side.
The giant shadow man felt the transfer of the bill and calmly shifted his gaze from Zhan Wenchen to Wang Zhongyan.
Wang Zhongyan, who was standing aside, was sweating profusely. Looking at the tall black shadow in front of him, he felt his calves going weak.
But he still remembered what Zhan Wenchen said, that he must ensure that the bill would not remain in the hands of the same person for more than five minutes. He only needed to hold on for another five minutes.
Soon, the other two groups will be here to help!
The giant shadow man raised his huge machete, with the tip of the knife almost touching the ceiling.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongyan quickly threw away a glass bottle in his hand.
The glass bottle was surrounded by colorful lights, and there seemed to be a few small stars made of transparent paper inside. It was such a dreamy prop that successfully resisted the shadow man's machete.
Then Wang Zhongyan clenched the boomerang in his hand and hit the giant shadow man.
'clang! ’
Unlike other shadow men, when the boomerang hit the giant shadow man it was like hitting steel.
After a series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds, Wang Zhongyan caught the dart that came back. He looked at the prop in his hand with an ugly expression.
The boomerang was now slightly twisted and had many cracks on it.
Wang Zhongyan glanced at Zhan Wenchen and Xiao Bin who were fighting fiercely with ordinary shadow people, gritted his teeth, and took out the golden props he had kept in the bottom of his box.
This is a defensive item that looks like a miniature stone disc.
Wang Zhongyan looked anxious: "Hold on, hold on! My life depends on you."
Wang Zhongyan raised his hand and said, "Go."
The stone disc quickly grew larger in mid-air, and finally turned into a large disc with a diameter of two meters.
