Someone had entered.
Wind poured through the slightly opened movable door panel, but Xu Huo, hiding in the secret passage, didn't hear any sound. Sensing the airflow movement in the room, he moved deeper into the passage while grabbing several Puppets and throwing them toward the movable door panel!
Almost simultaneously, a high-speed rotating chainsaw cut through the door panel's gap, then the woman kicked the door open and charged into the secret passage, wildly swinging her chainsaw. But whether hitting the walls or the Puppets, the chainsaw left no marks and produced absolutely no sound.
Unclear whether the opponent could see in the darkness, the shorter twin created an air cross-section in front of the woman. The cross-section traveled along the ground, capable of blocking away any items like Puppets or Small Hats in the passage.
In the darkness, Xu Huo glanced at the slightly different cross-section compared to what he'd seen before. He turned and left through another exit of the passage, leaving the exit open as he departed, then threw a flashlight inside.
The Living Bear in the corridor, hearing the noise, aggressively charged into the secret passage with the other Puppets. Curses immediately echoed from inside.
Whether it was the Living Bear or the Puppets, unless absolutely necessary, they weren't targets that could be killed. The twins' air cross-section had limited range—it could block below but not above. And since the secret passage walls also hid Puppets, to avoid elimination, those two players could only retreat the way they came, backing through the narrow passage to the original room.
Xu Huo certainly didn't want them eliminated either. He returned through the adjacent room, first pressing himself against the wall, then swinging his sword toward the movable door panel below.
Two sword energy attacks sliced down consecutively, but only cut through two Puppets thrown by the shorter twin. The next second, the man emerged from the secret passage, avoiding the Small Hats bursting from the Puppets, drew his gun and aimed at the person on the wall: "Go to hell!"
Xu Huo dodged the bullet and jumped back to the ground, accelerating instantly to rush before the shorter twin. He swung his sword to cut the gun in the man's hand, then spun around to deliver a kick!
"Boom!" The full-power strike collided with an air cross-section, producing a tremendous sound. Xu Huo watched the retreating figure behind the cross-section but didn't immediately pursue. Instead, he turned to confront the woman emerging behind him.
The long sword and chainsaw collided silently, sparking. Xu Huo twisted both hands, pressing the sword against the chainsaw to slash toward the woman's shoulder. Her expression changed slightly, so she retreated repeatedly. When her back hit the wall, she used the momentum to lift her leg and kick out!
Xu Huo took a kick to the chest, then swept his sword backhand toward the woman's neck. While she ducked to avoid it, he controlled the piano wire to lock around her throat and pulled her up!
Meanwhile, the shorter twin launched a sneak attack from behind. Xu Huo directly spun and kicked, knocking the knife from the man's hand while simultaneously swinging his sword out.
Not only did the shorter twin's item fly away, but both his hands went numb from the impact. He quickly retreated while pulling up two air cross-sections in front to block Xu Huo. But just as the cross-sections formed, a sword energy penetrated through, effortlessly slicing off his head!
By the light filtering through the curtains, the young woman behind saw the shorter twin follow his brother's fate, showing regret on her face. She broke free from the piano wire's restraint, initially wanting to escape. But seeing Xu Huo's back turned to her, she hesitated for a moment, then patted a figurine hanging from her waist and raised her chainsaw!
Xu Huo seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, turning around to clash sword against chainsaw. The two fought for several rounds until the woman considered retreating, gradually moving toward the door during the fight. But just as she was about to burst through the door, she suddenly discovered it was sealed shut by densely packed fine wires!
"I really underestimated you! Never thought I'd capsize in a tiny ditch!" the woman turned around with hatred on her face.
However, Xu Huo had no intention of conversing with her. He tapped his heel twice on the ground, using the Super Running Shoes to accelerate, continuously attacking the woman.
The woman was forced to retreat repeatedly. Glancing at the scattered Small Hats near the secret passage entrance, she deliberately lured him that way.
Xu Huo pretended not to notice her intention. During the fight, he knocked off the Pink Hat she was wearing. When she once again kicked Small Hats under his feet, he suddenly pulled back, then controlled a flying arrow to horizontally pierce through her throat, ending this battle.
[Congratulations player for killing two Black Players. You may acquire the killed players' assets, items, and train tickets. Please receive the players' belongings below.]
[Player Nickname: Generation's Seductress]
[Player Type: Black Player]
[Profession: Lumberjack]
[Player Level: D]
[Evolution Rate: 32%]
[Assets: 123,500 White Bills]
[Basic Characteristic: Silent Corporate Drone]
[Items: ① Target-Specific Chainsaw ② Sound-Muffling Figurine ③ Self-Filtering Mask ④ Lumberjack Rubber Boots]
Xu Huo only checked the main information. After clarifying the items' uses, he took the figurine from the woman's waist. This Sound-Muffling Figurine could cover a three-meter radius centered on itself, with each use lasting ten minutes and a six-hour cooldown.
It was with this item that the woman and twins had entered the room without making any sound, not alerting the Living Bear in the corridor.
As for the chainsaw, it only worked on people. When encountering objects, it automatically gained rubber properties and couldn't damage objects. The filter mask was for appearance modification, while the lumberjack rubber boots could conceal footprints.
After checking the woman's, he proceeded to check the twins'.
[Player Nickname: Doraemon]
[Player Type: Black Player]
[Profession: Imitator]
[Player Level: D]
[Evolution Rate: 30%]
[Characteristic: Willing Sharing]
[Items: ① Cold Butcher Knife ② Self-Learning Mirror ③ Sturdy Knee Pads]
This was the shorter twin's characteristic. Previously, Xu Huo had seen the taller twin's characteristic was "Air Separation," so the air cross-section characteristic these brothers used belonged to the taller one. The shorter one's characteristic allowed him to replicate another person's characteristic effect through characteristic copying.
These two characteristics ranked among the top he'd encountered. Whether it was the defensive and sealing "Air Separation" or the ability-acquiring "Willing Sharing," both had enormous potential. Compared to his own and other players' characteristics he'd encountered before, the developable applications were visibly broader. Unfortunately, characteristics couldn't be inherited.
The Puppets the woman had locked behind the secret door had long gone quiet, but now footsteps sounded from behind the door. He quickly disposed of the two bodies on the ground, used the Sound-Muffling Figurine, and hid on the outer windowsill.
Three people emerged from the secret passage one after another. The first voice that spoke surprisingly belonged to Tang Xiao. "This room has such a strong smell of blood."
"Probably just experienced a fight," another voice belonged to Peng Ru. She said, "When I left, Xu Huo and Jin Chao were right here. Even if the game started, they should meet up around this area if regrouping. Could something have happened to them?"
