Chapter 583: Spectre Inc. (3)
Translator: Lonelytree
Feng Bujue studied the man and then replied, “Erm… I will go with you.”
He said as he adjusted his collar and walked to the door. The security stared at him and followed closely behind him and they left the room together.
The environment on the corridor was not much different from inside the room. The walls, ceiling and floor were made from unknown grey material. Every distance one could see a glowing green symbol, using these symbols, one probably could activate the doors of each room.
“Stand up right and walk ahead, don’t try any tricks.” The security pointed down a direction after leaving the room and signalled for Brother Jue to walk before him. Brother Jue moved as obliged. He turned around and walked at his own pace. After several steps, he tried to talk to the man, “Hmm… brother… how shall I refer to you?”
“Don’t try to endear yourself to me.” Predator replied coldly.
!!
“Okay… Brother Don’t, your hairstyle is rather unique, where did you get it cut?” Feng Bujue insisted on continuing the conversation.
“I was born with it.” Predator replied. (Predator warriors were all born with mop-like head).
“Hmm…” Feng Bujue then added, “How is the work of the security treating you? How’s the salary?”
“The item price is similar to European countries, the housing price is similar to buying a land on the moon, but the salary is like you’re working at Africa.” Predator grunted with dissatisfaction.
“Oh… ha ha…” Feng Bujue laughed drily twice. “Then it’s not that different from where we came from.” At that moment, the shoulders on the Predator suddenly moved… the cannons appeared and three infrared points gathered at the place where Feng Bujue’s heart would be.
“Any more words out of you and I will carry you away in the form of a carca.s.s.” Predator said seriously. Feng Bujue had no other option so he could only shrugged awkwardly, turned back to smile at the man and stopped talking.
[The setting of this scenario is rather unique…] Brother Jue thought to himself. [I wonder how the others are doing…] he thought then he opened the game menu, he realized all of his teammates are still alive. [Hmm… until now, no one has died, this proves that they are not in any temporary danger. But unfortunately, I do not know where any of them are…] His eyes scanned the sides of the corridor. [The architectural concept of this place is unknown, there are unknown number of rooms and I do not know how they operate… the process of trying to get information was not that successful… Even if I manage to take down with this security with brute force, I don’t know what to do next. Hm… I guess it’s better for me to cooperate for now and see what they will do next…]
…
Several minutes ago, inside another room.
“Security help! I’m being murdered!” A skeleton man cowered at the corner with his hands hugging his head and screamed for help.
“There is even security?” In the middle of the room, Ruoyu held Holy Seal. She mumbled with a frosty expression, “What kind of place is this…” Soon, the door of this room appeared but the person that walked in was not the security was the manager of this place—a headless knight in black armor.
“Aiz… Skelly, I don’t know what to say already.” The headless knight sighed (The voice came from the chest), “Just tell me… how long since the last time you have scared anyone already?” He continued in a heavy tone, “I know… these days skeletons are no longer that popular but you keep getting scared by the targets… what are you trying to do?”
“No…. no… this is really not my problem this time…” Skelly stammered his explanation. Ruoyu at the side though appeared rather calm. She turned to the headless knight and asked in an even voice, “Who are you and what is this place?”
“Hmm?” Even though the knight had no head, he still turned around as if to look at Ruoyu. He answered. “Hmm… you are indeed courageous to be so collected when you see me, and you are even armed…” he took a half step back. “In any case, that is the question that I have for you. Which unit are you from? You’re not a human, right? Why are you at our company?”
“What company?” Ruoyu asked.
“Spectre Inc. of course!” The headless knight replied, “Hmm, by the way how did you get in here?” He said as he raised his right hand and turned to a rune at the back of his gloves and yelled, “Hey! Technical department? This is Manager Wu, I said what’s wrong with you people? Why is there a non-human in the scare room? Are you guys going to take responsibility if there is a problem?”
…
At the same time, at the underground parking lot of Spectre Inc.
“What’s going on with this place…” Greedy Wolf was hiding behind a pillar and said softly, “Why are the parking lot filled with coffins, pumpkin carriages and… skeletal horses…”
“Perhaps for the creatures of this scenario, these are normal transport vehicles…” Gu Xiaoling who poked her head out from the other pillar answered.
This player called Greedy Wolf looked around 30 and he had a rather manly face. He belonged to… Blade Edge. That’s right, he came from the same guild as Long Aomin and Seven Kills, Soulie and Xiao Han had queued with him before but they could not be considered familiar. But from the Id, this Greedy Wolf was not a simple character.
A person with seven kills has open chest and easy ways, dominating the world with his bravery; an army breaker, stands at the top of all the warriors, a master of his way, striding his path through the world; the man of the greedy wolf, is quick on his feet, bright and clever, manipulating the world. The book of Yi Jing said, once these three stars gather at one spot, they could easily claim the world.
As one of the members of the most powerful trio at Blade Edge, Kills, Breaker and Wolf, even though he might not have any earth-shattering ability, with such an impressive id, he was naturally not that weak. Seven Kills focused on fighting mastery was undeniably one of the best pvpers in Thriller Paradise, if not for the plot armor that I have given Brother w.a.n.g Tanzhi, based on his ability, he could easily get into the top 30 at the Tournament of the Best. Army Breaker still had not shown up in the story so we shall skip them for now. So then we shall talk about this Greedy Wolf… This brother played the role of strategist and admin at Blade Edge, he focused on Medic and his current character level was level 37. Since Greedy Wolf had to deal with many offline daily activities, so he did not have as much time as Seven Kills did to play the game, combine that with the uniqueness of his focused mastery, his ranking was not high on the combat stat ranking. But after the update, his standing had risen on the ranking. Overall, this was a very useful player for a team. For the four killers from Underworld Frontline, this backline player was very valuable.
“I say…” At that moment, the third person hiding behind the pillar spoke, “There is no one here, so why are we hiding like thieves…” This third person was Tired Dream, his current level was only 34, the lowest in the group; he had tussled long hair and even though he was wearing a newbie outfit, his tone and att.i.tude was very collected and did not radiate the presence of a casual player at all. Why was that? The reason was very simple…
Tired Dream used to have another name. He was the player ranked 18 on the combat stat ranking before the update, he mastered a level s skill during the final and obtained sixth place in the end, the former poster boy for Zombie Blade—Zombie Blade Victor. Unfortunately, that Id was now part of history. All the data related to that character had been destroyed by the system, the equipment, item and Game Coins removable from the character had all been confiscated by Zombie Blade.
