Chapter 1219: "Ninth Art" vs. "Death Instinct"
Chapter 1219: "Ninth Art" vs. "Death Instinct"
As a bounty hunter, and a leader among bounty hunters who can enter the leaderboard, Cress naturally has a keener sense of smell than ordinary players.
After all, most ordinary players tend to focus on improving their own strength by considering how to better pass the [copy] and prolong their survival time.
The "bounty hunters" group is different - many of their focuses on improving their strength are based on the situations of fighting with different players.
Therefore, compared to many players, bounty hunters often have certain differences in their item systems and abilities.
Comparing the two, it's a bit like the difference between PVE and PVP players.
Of course, not all PVP players are bounty hunters. After all, in addition to the bounty hunter group, many players are also thinking about how to kill others all day long.
Of course, by the time players reach the third level, especially the level of strength that can make it onto the leaderboard, the item sets and abilities in their hands no longer have a clear bias, and they often begin to develop in a comprehensive manner that can cope with various scenarios and combat needs.
but……
For someone like Cress, who had been a bounty hunter since the First Order, his long PVP career had allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience that other players didn't have.
For example, how to identify masters.
Just like what Gu Long wrote in his martial arts novels, the people you must not offend when wandering in the martial arts world are women, children, the elderly, and monks.
A disabled little girl leaning on a crutch, appearing in a place like Jiangcheng in the middle of the night, swaggering after another guy in ancient costume who looks like a female ghost, can she be a simple character?
more importantly……
There was no light in Cress's room, and he was observing things downstairs in a very covert manner.
However, the girl who arrived later... also noticed him.
As he walked, the other person raised his head and looked in the direction of Cress, nodding slightly in greeting.
This confidence is also a symbol of strength.
Since the other party has shown goodwill, Cress decided to exercise restraint before she threatens his mission target.
He also took off his baseball cap and greeted the other person.
"Who is this expert?"
"He didn't introduce himself, but showed kindness to a stranger like me... I really don't understand."
"And why is this guy here in the middle of the night?"
"And what about that woman in ancient costume?"
Kress had no answer for now.
However, it is undeniable that...
The appearance of this player did add some excitement to his boring surveillance life.
"Ce Na, there are finally some changes..."
He was ready to fight.
To be able to bring such a sense of oppression without taking any action, the opponent must be at least a top 50 player.
It's a bit difficult to defeat the opponent head-on.
But if the other party really came for his employer, Cress would definitely not flinch.
Even if there is no direct combat, at least you have to interfere and restrain the opponent, inform your employer, and then try to use escape methods to take away your protected target.
Thinking about the possible emergency situations that might occur next, Kress also quickly and professionally developed a simple response plan.
Then, he continued to observe the movements of the two people downstairs.
And soon...
This number became the third person.
At the other end of the street, a ball of noise appeared out of nowhere, and a girl in a white coat and neat short hair appeared.
"What a stealthy and fast method of teleportation. It looks like long-distance teleportation..."
Cress was watching this scene upstairs. He didn't need any intuition to be sure that the new guy was definitely a master.
Another mysterious master that he didn't know.
Cress frowned slightly.
He originally thought that it was a waste of his talent for his employer to spend so many [props] and precious [materials] every week to hire a top bounty hunter like him to stay in Jiangcheng and serve as a bodyguard for an ordinary person.
Now Cress vaguely realized that his employer's behavior seemed to be okay.
The previous calm was simply because the time had not come yet.
"Sure enough, the situation in Jiangcheng is very complicated. We can never take it lightly."
Kress sighed.
And below...
The short-haired woman in a white coat who walked out of the noise quickly noticed the two people on the other side.
She looked at the woman in ancient costume, then her eyes passed over the woman in ancient costume and asked the guy with crutches behind her.
"Is this the great demon from Prison Mountain? Why is it moving around freely outside?"
The woman on crutches spoke calmly, "This isn't a casual activity. I'm following her."
The woman in the white coat said, "It seems that the people in your organization encountered some accident, which resulted in them being unable to control this demon, right?"
"You're really nosy! Are you joining the 'Order'?"
The woman on crutches asked back.
"No, I just feel that constantly covering up for the organization members like you is not only a waste of your precious energy, but also hinders their own growth," the woman in the white coat said with genuine regret. "Of course... I'm not here for this demon, so you can rest assured."
"I don't even know why you're here—I'm just here to finish a task that our members of the Executive Division haven't completed yet."
The woman on crutches frowned: "You came all the way to Jiangcheng just to kill a junior high school girl?"
Hearing this, Kress upstairs also became alert.
Sure enough, this newly appeared master came for the person he was protecting!
"It seems... I have to be prepared to take action."
He took out his [tool] and held it in his hand.
Although the other party is two masters who know each other, they seem to have different positions.
If the woman with the crutch hadn't come here to kill her target, her chances would have been greater if the two of them had stood up!
The atmosphere of the conversation downstairs was indeed more tense.
"Of course I have other tasks, but I'm just taking care of them for now. Please don't interfere with my work. I recommend that you take the demons and leave Jiangcheng first. After all, although the 'hacker' is not here now, it's hard to say what will happen after I take action."
As the woman in the white coat spoke, the woman with the cane laughed.
"Ha, what a coincidence! In Jiangcheng, besides keeping an eye on this demon, I also need to protect that female junior high school student."
"It seems that we two must fight this time - respected President of the Psychological Society, Mr. Freud."
The woman in the white coat took off her narrow-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses and put them in her coat pocket.
"Is that so... Then there's really nothing we can do."
"I've actually always been curious as to why you're ranked one spot higher than me on the leaderboard, respected founder of the Free Alliance, Ms. Player."
The two of them talked, and then...
"Snapped--!"
All the street lights went out, and a terrifying god-like aura erupted.
The "Heart Domains" of the two top "Level 4" players unfolded at the same time!
'The Ninth Art' VS 'Death Instinct'!
Cress, who was originally planning to pick up a bargain upstairs, put away his [props] and quietly closed the window.
"There was nothing wrong with the peaceful life before."
He decided to go to the kitchen to heat a glass of milk for himself and report the situation to his employer.
of course……
Whether the employer believed it or not was not Kress's concern.
Kress could understandably be unconvinced if his employer didn't believe him.
After all, this situation is too ridiculous to talk about.
