Chapter 138: Substitute Death Doll
【Player 【Thunder God】 killed Player 【Plague Doctor】】
【Current surviving players: 6】
After Lei De killed the Doctor, Jiang Li left the battlefield and flew toward the location where Liu Xian was.
On the battlefield, after Lin Xun and Shen Wei reached a consensus, Lin Xun began a reckless charge toward Lei De, as if he did not care about his own life at all.
Meanwhile, Shen Wei retreated to the side, her mouth moving nonstop, as if she was preparing some terrifying ultimate move.
Seeing Lin Xun suddenly charging at him, Lei De curled his lips into a cruel smile.
“Want to trade lives with me?”
“Heh, you’re actually looking for death?”
“I’ll grant your wish!”
A vicious glint flashed through Lei De’s eyes. He leapt high into the air and abruptly shone the flashlight in his hand toward Shen Wei. Shen Wei did not dodge; she was swept by the red light of the flashlight and frozen on the spot.
After immobilizing Shen Wei, Lin Xun had already rushed in front of Lei De. At this moment, it was too late for Lei De to dodge, but instead of retreating, he advanced, letting out an enraged roar as he charged at Lin Xun: “You want to gamble your life with me? You’re not worthy!”
“Lin Xun! You trash from Bureau 869!”
“Today, I’ll let you know who the real strong one is!”
Looking at the madness in Lei De’s eyes, Lin Xun’s heart tightened.
He knew that Lei De was also fighting desperately.
“Come on!”
Lin Xun roared, and the battle saber in his hand emitted a buzzing hum.
He also abandoned all defense, condensing all his strength into the battle saber in his hand.
“Die!”
Lin Xun slashed fiercely, charging straight toward Lei De’s chest.
A trace of excitement flashed in Lei De’s eyes.
This was exactly the life-for-life fighting style he wanted!
He fiercely met Lin Xun’s blade head-on.
Boom—!
A thick bolt of lightning erupted from his fist and slammed viciously into Lin Xun’s chest.
The two almost struck each other at the same time.
Puchi!
Lin Xun’s battle saber stabbed fiercely into Lei De’s chest, blood spraying everywhere.
Lei De’s lightning also slammed hard into Lin Xun’s chest.
Lin Xun’s body shuddered violently. He widened his eyes and stared at Lei De in disbelief.
“You…”
His body slowly fell down.
Lei De looked at Lin Xun lying on the ground and revealed an arrogant smile.
“Hahahaha!”
“Lin Xun! You piece of trash!”
“You think trash like you could even hurt me?”
He violently pulled the battle saber out of his chest, blood gushing out.
Yet there was not the slightest fear in his eyes—only excitement.
“Another head!”
He licked the blood at the corner of his mouth.
“Now, you’re the only one left!”
Lei De turned his head and looked at Shen Wei, who had already recovered from the immobilized state, his eyes full of mockery.
However, Shen Wei looked at Lin Xun lying on the ground, her eyes completely calm.
“Lei De.”
Shen Wei’s voice was very calm. “Didn’t you notice that you didn’t receive a prompt?”
Lei De was stunned. “What prompt?”
“Lin Xun’s death prompt.”
A cold glint flashed through Shen Wei’s eyes. “You didn’t receive it, which means…”
“He’s not dead!”
Lei De’s expression changed drastically.
He abruptly turned his head toward where Lin Xun had fallen.
However, there was no corpse there—only a tattered cloth doll.
Lin Xun’s body had actually disappeared!
“Damn it!”
Lei De’s heart tightened, and he spun around violently.
However, it was already too late.
Lin Xun’s figure appeared behind Lei De like a ghost.
In his hand, he was still holding the battle saber stained with Lei De’s blood.
“Lin Xun!”
Lei De’s pupils shrank sharply. He never expected Lin Xun to appear behind him.
“You thought I’d be killed by you that easily?”
“You think you’re the only one with transcendent artifacts?”
“The Substitute Death Doll is my life-saving trump card!”
“You forced me to use it—now you can die!”
Lin Xun’s voice was cold and merciless.
He swung his blade violently.
Puchi!
The battle saber, carrying Lin Xun’s energy, precisely pierced into Lei De’s back, straight to the vital point.
Lei De’s body stiffened abruptly.
He widened his eyes and stared in disbelief at the blade tip protruding from his chest.
“You… you…”
He wanted to say something.
But in the end, he said nothing at all.
His body slumped backward weakly.
【Player 【Weapon Master】 killed Player 【Thunder God】】
【Current surviving players: 5】
……
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Lei De’s corpse still maintained the posture of being pierced through the heart by the battle saber. His pupils were dilated, and residual lightning flickered at his fingertips, like a light bulb that refused to go out.
Lin Xun’s face was pale, but he rarely showed a hint of ease. “It’s over.”
Lin Xun pulled out the battle saber, its tip drenched in blood.
Shen Wei walked to Lin Xun’s side. A trace of complexity flashed in her eyes as she chuckled softly. “The Ascension Alliance is going to blow its top this time.”
They won this battle.
Though they paid a heavy price.
“Substitute Death Doll…”
“Captain Lin, you really keep things well hidden.”
“A transcendent artifact like the Substitute Death Doll isn’t something just anyone can possess.”
“Same to you.”
Lin Xun sneered. “Your foundation isn’t lacking either. The Star Plate isn’t something just anyone in the Star Palace can use.”
Shen Wei said softly, “Not at all. It still can’t compare to the foundation of Bureau 869—truly unfathomable.”
“Hmph.”
Lin Xun snorted coldly. “My family paid a huge price to get this from the Bureau.”
“It was originally planned for me to use in the next stage of the game.”
“After all, the next stage is the real game—its difficulty and danger are far higher than this rookie match.”
“It’s just a pity…”
“This time, both sides suffered heavy losses.”
He looked at Lei De’s corpse on the ground, unwillingness flashing through his eyes.
“Not only did we fail to recruit players, we even exposed our trump cards.”
“After the game ends, punishment is unavoidable.”
Lin Xun turned his head to look at Shen Wei, his tone bitter.
Shen Wei looked at him calmly. “Captain Lin, there’s no need to pretend to be wronged.”
“Judging from Lei De’s strength, he should have been a key nurtured target of the Ascension Alliance.”
“Killing him can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the Ascension Alliance.”
“When you go back, Bureau 869 won’t even have time to reward you—how could they bear to punish you…”
The two spoke back and forth, discussing arrangements after the game ended, as if they had completely forgotten that the game was not yet over and that three Radiance players were still alive.
Perhaps to them, with Lei De dead, this game was already over, and the remaining three were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered.
“Now, only those few lone players are left.”
Lin Xun’s gaze swept across the battlefield, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“It’s time to end this game.”
He was just about to give the order for Bureau 869’s agents to clean up the battlefield.
At that moment.
“Roar—!”
A deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.
Lin Xun and Shen Wei both looked up sharply at the same time.
They saw a massive shadow diving down from the heavens.
It was actually a wyvern!
On the dragon’s back sat a person, dressed in a black hoodie with the hood pulled low, revealing only a pale section of the lower jaw.
