"I finally won. It wasn't easy!"
After winning the latest game, Liu Haoming let out a long sigh of relief.
His luck tonight was rather bad. He was matched with bad teammates all the time. He lost more than he won, which made him extremely depressed.
He turned around and glanced at the door. The thick fog that filled the street still hadn't dissipated. It seemed that there wouldn't be a second customer tonight.
Feeling a little hungry, Liu Haoming took a bucket of Master Kang from the shelf at the counter. When he passed by Chu Yao to get some water, he instinctively glanced at her computer screen.
The game screen was from a first-person perspective. The character controlled by Chu Yao was surrounded by dozens of soldiers. Each soldier was holding a pistol in his hand. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Chu Yao. It was as if Chu Yao was an extremely dangerous and terrifying character.
This scene immediately aroused Liu Haoming's curiosity. He stood behind Chu Yao and watched quietly for a while. He wondered if she was playing a single-player game like Sin City.
"I didn't kill anyone. I killed the strange creatures!"
Chu Yao controlled the options on the panel. Her white and tender fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard as she sent such a message to the soldiers surrounding her.
The middle-aged man standing in front of her, who seemed to be the leader of the soldiers, also sent a message above his head. "Come with us to the government. If there really is a misunderstanding, we will naturally clear your name."
Chu Yao: "I'm not going to the government. Shanghai has already been invaded by the strange creatures. Only I can deal with them. If you delay me here, more people will die in the hands of the strange creatures!"
The middle-aged man: "It's not up to you to go to the government. Handcuff her."
Two soldiers walked out of the encirclement with a pair of shackles in their hands. The rest of the soldiers were still pointing their guns at Chu Yao, restricting her movements.
Seeing the two soldiers getting closer and closer to her, Chu Yao was unwilling to be captured. Her fingers tapped on the keyboard nimbly, and she controlled the game character to jump eight to nine meters in the air.
"This is still the Superman version of Sin City..."
Liu Haoming was secretly shocked. Chu Yao jumped to the roof of a nearby tall building, and with a few leaps, she disappeared into the night. The soldiers behind her were all dumbfounded. They were dumbstruck, and didn't even have the time to fire a single shot.
The first-person view of the interface made Liu Haoming a little dizzy. He had never liked to play this type of game since he was young. After watching for a while, he stopped and walked to the water dispenser to get some water.
Returning to the counter, Liu Haoming felt quite surprised. He didn't think that Chu Yao, who had a gentle and elegant appearance, would actually play such a violent game like Sin City. It seemed that her inner world was not the same as her outer appearance. Was this the main reason why she didn't get along with her family?
Liu Haoming could not figure out the reason, so he stopped thinking about it. He finished Master Kang in a few bites and entered the next game.
…
Shanghai.
"He, he can actually fly!"
The soldiers looked at each other in shock. Just now, the bald man had directly jumped out of their encirclement. This had a great impact on their worldview.
It turned out that there really were superhumans in this world!
Chai Jin's face was ashen. He also didn't think that the bald man would be so powerful. Could it be that the video of him destroying the entire street with a single pestle really relied on pure physical strength and not explosive weapons?
Just who was he!
In addition, was the strange thing he just said true or false?
How could there be such a strange existence in this world?
Similarly, how could there be someone in this world who could jump eight or nine meters high?
Chai Jin was terrified. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
Regardless of whether the strange thing was true or not, Shanghai was an international metropolis with a population of tens of millions. The flow of people was abnormally dense. If the bald man was allowed to cause a ruckus, it would cause irreparable damage to the lives and property of Shanghai's citizens.
"Continue to chase. The next time we meet him … unless it's absolutely necessary, don't shoot!" Chai Jin ordered the soldiers.
His intuition told him that even bullets wouldn't be able to hurt the bald man. Blindly shooting would only arouse his hostility and make him even more out of control.
…
"I've finally shaken off the soldiers."
Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Relying on her powerful physical strength, she flashed through the tall buildings of Shanghai like an ancient flying bandit.
"Look, it's Spiderman!"
A passerby noticed Chu Yao's figure and pointed at her and screamed.
"Heavens! He's actually flying! "
"Is he filming a movie? How can he fly?"
"Hurry up and take a picture. Send it to TikTok and make it a hot search!"
"…"
More and more passersby noticed Chu Yao. They were all shocked by the incredible scene in front of them. They hurriedly took out their phones to take pictures. There was an ear-piercing sound of brakes on the road. Several cars crashed into each other.
"Every NPC's reaction is exactly the same as a real person's!" Chu Yao sighed again. She was sincerely impressed by the realism of this game.
These NPCs were clearly just passersby and had nothing to do with the game's main quest. However, the system still displayed their virtual personalities vividly.
"I can't attract so many people's attention. It wouldn't be good if I attracted the attention of the government." Chu Yao secretly said in her heart. Then, she flashed and jumped toward a remote street. She wanted to hide herself first.
Although she had been greatly strengthened in the game, bullets didn't have eyes. If she was shot a few times by the government officials, she was afraid that it would be game over. She liked the experience of killing monsters in the game. She didn't want to end the game so quickly.
Not long after, Chu Yao came to a deserted lakeside. She sat on a stone bench and thought about a way to quickly eliminate the monsters.
"Big brother, do you know where Tulip Park is?"
A man with a strange appearance suddenly walked out from the dense forest. He took the initiative to come behind Chu Yao and asked her for directions.
As his voice fell, the strange eyes stared at Chu Yao's back. He was looking forward to her next reaction.
"Answer me, answer me, answer me …"
The strange man silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the other party was a human who could see him.
As if she heard his thoughts, Chu Yao turned her head and looked at him strangely. "You can see me?"
The strange man was stunned. He felt that something was not right.
Shouldn't this sentence come from his own mouth?
He was the strange man!
He could sense that the other party didn't have a strange aura. She was a complete human.
"Who are you!"
The strange man took two steps back. A creepy chill rose in his heart.
Chu Yao wanted to scare this strange man with the strange man's way of scaring humans, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to waste time on a beginner strange man. So, she waved the Demon Subduing Pestle and smashed him into ashes.
