Chapter 188 The Paper Man and the Resurrection Pill
"Well, okay Captain Lin, no problem, I will ensure Mr. Xiao's safety."
Xiao Wang hung up the phone and nodded to Xiao Jie, the co-pilot.
At this time, the two were driving to Chen Tianwen's villa. The sky outside the car window had already darkened. While driving, Xiao Wang asked seemingly casually: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you killed many people in the game? "
"There aren't many, just four or five." Xiao Jie said disapprovingly.
"What does that feel like?" There was a hint of excitement in Xiao Wang's tone.
Xiao Jie gave him a strange look, "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing." Xiao Wang said and continued driving. After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Are the abilities obtained in the game really as powerful as those in martial arts movies?"
Xiao Jie suddenly smiled, "Don't you want to play games?"
"No - no." Xiao Wang hurriedly denied.
Xiao Jie could tell at a glance that Xiao Wang didn't mean what he said. Although Xiao Wang acted very capable, he was obviously still a newcomer. He should be in his early twenties. He didn't know where the Game Management Bureau recruited people from. , not at all as sharp and agile as he imagined a special agent operator would be.
Speaking of which, what level of organization is the Gaming Authority? Judging from the influence of the game Old Land, it certainly won’t be that bad.
"Let me guess, your game management bureau must have people in the game. This kind of work is so dangerous, so it must be recruiting volunteers. Just like undercover agents, there are certain screening conditions, so you want to participate ?”
Xiao Wang looked at Xiao Jie in surprise, obviously guessing.
But he muttered: "I will not admit this, nor will I deny it."
Xiao Jie was speechless, "Speaking of which, do you have any teaching materials on how to speak? Why do everyone say this?"
"I will neither admit this nor deny it." Xiao Wang continued to repeat this sentence.
Xiao Jie spread his hands, "Okay, let me just say to myself, the abilities you get in this game are indeed very cool, just as cool as those in martial arts movies, and different from martial arts movies, this is real, use Come and have fun.
But, once you get used to it, it's just like that. After all, this thing can't be displayed in public, so it's just for your own entertainment, and martial arts is basically useless when it comes to modern weapons.
The real value is spells. Unfortunately, spells are very difficult to learn. I haven't learned real spells yet.
Moreover, the mortality rate in this game is quite high. Of course, you must know this better than me. "
Seeing that Xiao Wang was silent, Xiao Jie continued: "I think the most important thing in life is to know the consequences of things and whether you can bear them. So if you really have this idea, just consider two points carefully. First, you can You can’t risk your life, and secondly, is it worth it to fight for the power in the game?”
Xiao Wang obviously listened.
"Thanks."
"Thank you for nothing, I was just expressing my feelings - Hey, here we are."
The door of Chen Tianwen's villa appeared in front of him, and the car stopped suddenly.
Xiao Jie picked up the horizontal knife and said, "Just wait in the car. I'll be back as soon as I go."
"No, Captain Lin told me to ensure your safety."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that he still didn’t know who was protecting whom.
"Do whatever you want, don't follow too closely."
Xiao Jie casually took Hengdao out of the car, and the two of them walked into the courtyard of the villa one after another. The ground was littered with bombed stones.
Xiao Jie looked at the piles of stones around him and thought to himself that this Qimen Dunjia was nothing more than that. It could be destroyed with explosives.
But when I came last time, this formation could obviously change physical properties, so why now it only has illusion effects?
I couldn't figure it out for a moment. The two entered the door of the living room. Xiao Jie went straight to the study. He had been there once when he came to find Chen Tianwen to translate the Humanity Chapter, so he was familiar with the way.
I thought I was just picking up something, but when I reached the door, Xiao Jie suddenly stopped.
In the study room, there was a faint rustling sound, as if someone was carefully turning things around inside.
He immediately felt excited.
Chen Tianwen said before that he hid the elixir in order to prevent it from being discovered by his enemies.
Could it be that the enemy has appeared?
That's going to be bad.
"Shh!" He stretched out his hand and made a silencing gesture. The study door was an antique-style double door. He looked inside along the crack in the door.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. I could see a strange human figure dressed in black, looking for something in the room.
The reason why it is weird is that the figure is extremely thin. Every time it turns around, it is just a line when viewed from the side, with no human body structures such as chest, back and so on.
And its movements are also very weird. Every time it is rummaging for something, it must curl its body, and the whole body will bend at a very weird angle.
Since there were no lights on in the room, it was difficult to see the specific scene, and the figure looked even more terrifying in the darkness.
Xiao Jie's scalp felt numb, and he thought to himself, "What the hell is this?"
I am a beast trainer from the physics department, but in reality I don’t even have a pet. This thing is not easy for me to handle, so I’d better find backup.
He turned around and was about to tell Xiao Wang to retreat first, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded. Right under the stairs behind Xiao Wang, a paper man looked at him with an angry look on his face.
That's right, it was a paper man, wearing black clothes and a black hat. He was one meter sixty-seven meters tall. The angry expression was painted on his face, so it looked particularly weird.
For unknown reasons, the creator even drew a mask on the lower half of the face.
Because it was a paper man, it walked completely silently, so I didn't notice it at all just now.
At this time, the paper man also noticed him and Xiao Wang. A weird smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and a paper knife appeared in his hand.
He slashed at Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang was still unaware and looked at Xiao Jie in confusion.
"Be careful!" Xiao Jie shouted.
Xiao Wang reacted very quickly. He leaned over suddenly to avoid the knife. When he turned around and saw the paper man, he was frightened, took out his gun and shot.
Bang bang bang! The bullets penetrated the paper man's body continuously and made several holes in the paper man's body, but it was of no use.
The paper man was chopped down with a knife again. This time, Xiao Wang didn't have time to hide. He screamed and was cut with a big cut on his arm, and blood immediately flowed out.
Seeing the paper man being chopped down with a knife, Xiao Jie had already pulled out the knife and blocked it suddenly.
clang! There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, and the paper knife was not only extremely sharp, but also had a metallic impact.
Xiao Jie turned his sword and used nine disillusionment moves in succession.
Although he had killed countless people in the game, this was his first time fighting someone in real life, so he instinctively used a set of standard sword combos.
The paper man's sword skills are not weak either.
Dang, Dang, Dang! The two of them were going back and forth, and they were evenly matched.
Just when Xiao Jie was gradually getting the feeling, the study door behind him was knocked open with a bang, and two paper figures rushed out of the door, one holding a spear and the other holding a sword. They were both weapons made of paper. Come on.
Xiao Jie was decisive. His position was not suitable for fighting with the enemy. There were enemies in front and behind him. No matter how good his sword skills were, it would be difficult to resist him.
"Jump!"
Xiao Jie roared, flipped down the stairs with a side flip, and landed lightly on the ground. Xiao Wang immediately jumped down from the first floor with a plop.
The paper man upstairs immediately chased down.
Xiao Jie hurriedly shouted: "Get out quickly!" He pulled Xiao Wang and ran out.
Xiao Wang followed and fired at the paper figures repeatedly, but it was of no use except adding more holes to the paper figures.
At this moment, a paper man with a big ax rushed out from nowhere and struck the two of them with the ax. Xiao Jie quickly let go of Xiao Wang's hand guard and pushed Xiao Wang out of the door. .
Xiao Wang scrambled to his feet and just stood up. When he turned around, he saw four paper figures surrounding Xiao Jie.
Suddenly he was shocked, "Mr. Xiao!"
Just watch the four paper figures rushing forward together with weapons in hand.
It’s over! Xiao Wang felt despair, his work was going to be messed up.
The next second, Xiao Jie was seen leaning over and holding the handle of the knife, making a charging gesture, and his body suddenly rotated and danced.
Mysterious meaning——Feng Zhuan Yun!
The sword light flashed into one piece in the darkness, like a whirlwind composed of blades, sweeping out between the four paper figures.
Swish, brush, brush!
The sound of the blade rotating and cutting sounded. When Xiao Jie stopped in a handsome posture with the blade pointed backwards at a 45-degree angle, the four paper figures around him had turned into shreds of paper everywhere. .
Xiao Wang was stunned. He looked at the pistol in his hand and then at Xiao Jie's sword. There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made some determination. Xiao Jie quickly jumped out of the circle and plucked the pieces of paper on the ground with his knife to make sure that these things would not move again. Then he let out a sigh of relief. His face suddenly felt hot. He touched it with his hand. But at some point, a cut was made by the paper man's sword.
Damn, these paper figures are really weird.
Fortunately, it was just a skin injury. These paper figures were probably not sent by Chen Tianwen's enemies.
What they were looking for in the study room was definitely the Resurrection Pill left by Chen Tianwen.
Xiao Wang looked at the confetti on the ground in shock.
"Mr. Xiao, what are these things?"
"I'm not sure. It must have been made up by some kind of magic. It must have been sent by the person who wanted to kill Chen Tianwen as a last-minute hit. You quickly call Team Lin for backup. I have to go upstairs to get something."
Xiao Jie said and walked upstairs.
It would be better if the Resurrection Pill doesn't get cut off.
Cutting down four paper figures made him very confident in his own power, and it seemed that the other party did not dare to show up in person, but only sent some summoned creatures.
Most likely it’s also because they are afraid of the Game Management Bureau.
After all, once your identity is exposed, unless you really reach the level of a god, you will still be very weak in front of the state machine.
Carefully pushing open the study door, Xiao Jie turned sideways and looked inside to make sure there was no ambush before walking in.
Xiao Jie first observed the layout of the study room. It was much the same as last time. There were piles of books everywhere. There were several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, including a picture of four fairies dancing, a picture of an eagle spreading its wings, and a picture of an eagle spreading its wings. The second one is rather strange. There is an old man sleeping under an old tree.
There is a desk in the middle of the study, with a book spread out on it and some copper coins, turtle shells and other things.
Xiao Jie walked over and took a look, but it was a hand-copied version of the I Ching.
The page that was opened said -
[No: No is a bandit, which is not good for a gentleman's integrity, and he has a lot of contacts...
Xiang said: Heaven and earth are not in harmony, no; a gentleman uses frugality to overcome difficulties, but cannot use glory and wealth...]
Xiao Jie glanced at it a few times and didn't know what it meant.
Fortunately, there is a line of annotation below,
Hexagram: If you want to achieve peace and prosperity, you will live towards death. A gentleman is interested in profit, so he should put himself to death and then live.
If Xiao Jie had any idea, this should be Chen Tianwen's prediction. Did this kid predict that he was going to die? So I arranged my backup plan in advance.
He looked around and searched carefully for a while, and sure enough he saw a golden bell on the wall nearby.
Xiao Jie walked to the bell and rang it hard.
bite--
The finish is long and unremarkable.
bite--
Yet nothing changed.
bite--
After the three bells rang, Xiao Jie looked around, but there was still no change. Will the secret realm be opened after the three bells rang?
Chen Tianwen couldn't help but complain a little in his heart. Chen Tianwen couldn't explain clearly, so where was the Resurrection Pill hidden?
Uh-oh.
Suddenly, a yawn sounded from behind, Xiao Jie's hair stood on end, and he turned around suddenly, no one was there.
But something did change in the room. He heard a gust of wind and could even smell a breath of grass.
He blinked and finally discovered the problem. The old man in the painting on the wall actually climbed up from the ground. The sound of wind and the smell of grass came from the painting.
Let me go, what is going on?
Xiao Jie was shocked and surprised. He observed the painting carefully while observing it. It was an ancient landscape painting. The old man in the painting walked to the well nearby and fetched two buckets of water, and then poured it into the water. Under the big tree, little figures in the ancient style are walking around, giving it the feeling of an ink cartoon.
Soon the branches and leaves on the big tree gradually became lush, and a peach blossom even grew on the dead branch.
The old man kept watering the flower, and the flower bloomed and withered, and then a peach grew. Different from the black and white tone in the painting, the peach was pink, which was extremely conspicuous in the ink painting.
The branches bearing peaches grew longer and longer, and finally seemed to extend from the painting, and the peaches above hung high, seemingly within reach.
Xiao Jie took a step to the side with some uncertainty. Sure enough, it was not an illusion. The branch actually stretched out from the painting.
Damn it, what kind of technology is this?
Could it be the legendary Qimen Dunjia technique?
He knew clearly in his heart that this should be what Chen Tianwen called a secret realm.
He reached out to pick the peach, and he was a little surprised by the real touch. When he looked up again, the painting was still the same, the tree still looked dead, and the old man was lying under the tree and fell asleep again. There was only ink and oil paint, nothing else. Peach branch.
As if everything just now was just an illusion, Xiao Jie touched it with his hand and found that it was completely ordinary drawing paper.
Only the peach in your hand is real.
No, when Xiao Jie lowered his head again, he found that the peach was also fake. It was obviously a plastic model. There was a gap in the middle. When he opened it, he found a golden elixir hidden inside.
This should be the so-called resurrecting pill.
Xiao Jie was surprised in his heart and shook his head speechlessly. "Damn it, why are you making so many twists and turns?"
Turning around and hurried downstairs, Xiao Wang had already finished the phone call.
"People will be here soon."
"Let them deal with the aftermath and let's go back to the hospital."
While calling Captain Lin to report the situation, he drove straight to the hospital.
When the two returned to the hospital, the emergency room was crowded again, and this time there was a different doctor.
"The patient is dying."
“Get ready for adrenaline!”
"Let me try and I'll help you heal your injuries."
"Go away, go away, why are you sending everyone in?"
Captain Lin was waiting at the door anxiously. When he saw Xiao Jie coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
Xiao Jie asked: "By the way, are the experts from the province here?"
"What the hell, the expert from the province asked the boss to be eliminated by the group. He was just howling at home. The headquarters filmed the task force and went there. They were afraid that something would happen. It's good if they don't cause trouble. Don't even think about coming. Rescue—where have you gone?”
"I'm going to get the life-saving elixir. This is what Chen Tianwen prepared. I have to give it to him quickly."
Captain Lin's eyes lit up, "It's better to hurry up."
When the two rushed in, Master Niu was arguing with the doctor. One wanted to use exercises to heal his injuries, and the other wanted to use adrenaline.
When he saw another person rushing in, the doctor was angry, "What are you talking about? The patient is already dying, and you are still doing this."
Xiao Jie could understand why the doctor was so angry, but this was not the time to explain.
"If you can guarantee the cure, come. Otherwise, please get out of the way."
Of course the doctor couldn't guarantee that he had never seen such a weird patient, let alone such a weird group of people. After hearing this, he opened the door angrily and left.
Xiao Jie opened Chen Tianwen's mouth and stuffed the elixir into his mouth.
I don’t know what this elixir is made of, and it melts in your mouth without any water.
With a beep, the pill was swallowed, and after a moment, Chen Tianwen breathed out suddenly.
The breath that was almost absent suddenly became dense and long.
"There's a reaction, there's a reaction!"
Master Niu sighed with emotion, "Master Chen is so awesome. He even knows how to make alchemy. I'll have to ask him for a few pills later."
An Ran also nodded quickly, "We have suffered so much for him, we can't let him be idle if anything happens in the future."
Just watching Chen Tianwen stretch his body, he said leisurely: "Who will wake up first from the big dream... I know this in my life! Ah, I sleep so soundly. Hey, what are you doing around here?"
