Kieran was stunned when he saw Lawless take out a hollow round object with a handle. ≧ ≥
A mine detector!
Even if a person was not familiar with firearms, they would know what the name of the device was.
Let alone Kieran, who was familiar with firearms due to his various skills.
He understood that since Lawless had used a mine detector, he must have found something.
Then, the trap set by the first wave of ambushers was clear as day.
Landmines!
It was a cheap but powerful weapon.
Kieran couldn't help but frown as he recalled the description of landmines in his mind.
He was thinking about the endless methods that the killer organization had.
The system's [Shop] did not have such a weapon.
The players' forum had only traded some common defensive grenades. Offensive grenades were rare, but the killer organization already had a common weapon like landmines.
Plus the cannons and [Magnetic Field Shield].
Especially when he thought about the latter.
Kieran's breath hastened.
What else was more hopeless and hopeless than an ineffective attack?
Even a large area of effect bombardment from a cannon wouldn't work.
There would always be a chance to fight back.
But if the attack was ineffective...
Kieran's frown deepened.
"The killer organization is much stronger than I thought!"
Kieran said in his heart.
He was sure that although the two groups of attackers did not know each other, they were all from the same killer organization.
As for why they kept coming one after another?
Kieran had a bounty on his head.
The price was not bad either.
That was why the killer players were attracted.
"This is just the beginning. There will be more killer players in the future!
Besides, as my strength gets exposed, the killer players will be even stronger in the future!
"I need to speed up my growth. I need to grow faster than the enemy can imagine. Only then will I be able to survive the battle!"
Kieran knew what was going on. A sense of danger rose in his heart.
However, the sense of danger did not scare Kieran at all.
Kieran, who had been through despair and lingered on the edge of death, had a tenacity that far surpassed a common man.
He would not back down.
He would not retreat, only think, how to face.
Of course, Kieran wouldn't deny that Honor Kills and compensation were part of the reason.
In the previous battle, he had obtained a total of 2600 Points and 4 Skill Points. In addition to the two Honor Kills, he had obtained the enemy's weapons, equipment, and miscellaneous items.
It was almost comparable to the rewards of clearing a normal dungeon.
Apart from the fact that he did not have Golden Skill Points and Golden Attribute Points …
Points and skill points.
For Kieran, this was his motivation.
It represented his life and his future.
Two minutes later, Lawless came back with a mine with its fuse removed.
"Take it as a souvenir!"
"I'll have good luck!"
Lawless said to Kieran as he tossed the landmine over.
[Name: Z-2]
Type: Landmine
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Attack: Strong]
[Attributes: Attack + 45% against unarmored beings]
Special Effect: None
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: This is a mine that prevents infantry from jumping. It is more lethal and has a longer range than normal mines.]
…
"This isn't something anyone can get their hands on!"
Kieran glanced over the attributes of the [Z-2] and looked at Lawless.
His meaning was self-explanatory.
He would start with the landmine.
Maybe the two attackers from the first wave had gotten their hands on the landmine by accident, or maybe they had bought it from other players.
If it was the latter, there must be some clues to follow.
"I have a general direction!
If they really bought it from there, I believe I can follow the clues and find more! "
Lawless said in a serious tone.
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's check the surroundings and see if we can find anything before heading to Harvest Inn."
Kieran said.
"Of course!"
Lawless nodded.
…
Half an hour later, both of them were sitting opposite each other on the train.
Both of them were frowning, deep in thought.
Were there any traces around the area?
There were traces from both groups of attackers.
However, there was no trace of the stalker.
Kieran had used his [Tracking] to check a few perfect spots for stalking, but he found nothing.
The spots were clean, it didn't look like anyone had been there.
"Don't even think about it, maybe we'll find something at Harvest Inn.
Oh right, what were those guys called? "
Lawless, who also found nothing, shook his head. He temporarily tossed the annoying question aside and asked about the attackers.
"There were a total of two groups of attackers.
I don't know about the second group.
"The nicknames of the first batch of attackers were Shieldman and Collet."
Do you remember? "
Kieran asked after listing out the nicknames of the first group of attackers.
"Shieldbearer Collet?"
Nope, I don't think they were closed beta players. "
Lawless pondered over their nicknames and shook his head in the end.
"I'm sure you remember the second group of attackers.
The weapons they used were very special: a cannon and a sniper. The sniper had a defensive equipment called [Magnetic Field Shield] that nullified bullets! "
Kieran continued.
"Cannon?
Are you sure? "
Lawless was stunned, the cigar in his mouth almost falling to the ground. He widened his eyes and asked.
"Are they famous?"
Kieran could guess what was going on when he saw Lawless's reaction.
"Hellfire!"
"It's a team of five people. Two of them are preliminary players, and the other three joined later. Because they have a cannon, they're quite famous among the players."
A lot of rich players were willing to hire them when they needed to clear dungeons.
Their net worth was quite high, so they didn't need to rely on killing … "
Lawless uttered a name and gave a simple introduction. After that, he went silent.
It seemed like he couldn't accept the fact that the Hellfire was also a member of the killer organization.
"Their net worth is not low, but that's after they become Hellfire. What about before they become Hellfire?"
I think you can follow this lead and investigate further. Maybe you'll find something unexpected! "
Kieran wasn't affected by Lawless's emotions, his sharp senses picking up on a key point.
"That's right!
Before they became Hellfire, they weren't that famous.
It was only after they became Hellfire that they got that cannon and developed it into the Hellfire that people are familiar with.
"Everyone is saying that this is the result of the five people's amazing chemistry!"
Now it seems like the chemical effect is real, but it wasn't the five of them that did it. Maybe it was just one or two of them. "
With Kieran's reminder, Lawless quickly reacted to the situation.
Then, under Kieran's gaze, he started to contact the others through PM.
Kieran sat there quietly.
He didn't disturb Lawless.
He knew this was one of the advantages Lawless had over him: his connections.
Kieran believed that as long as one wasn't a twisted person, they would be willing to be friends with Lawless.
Of course, the depth of the relationship would vary depending on the person.
Still, it was better than him.
Kieran didn't think he was a good friend.
He wasn't a loner by nature.
However, the sudden illness had put him under too much pressure to survive, to the point that he had forgotten the word "friend".
When he came back to his senses, he realized that the people around him were his superiors and his colleagues.
And these people were obviously not suitable to make friends with.
"Friends …"
"Luxury goods!"
Kieran commented.
Then he closed his eyes to rest.
The battle before had not lasted long, but it had consumed a lot of his energy. The search after that had been the same.
After a while, there would be another search.
Kieran knew what he had to do.
Kieran and Lawless did not speak for the rest of the journey.
Until he got off the train, Lawless was still contacting his friends, hoping to get more clues from them.
Hanses and Rachel had been waiting for them at the train station.
"My tavern is being watched. This is too uncomfortable!"
I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace if I don't find those bastards! "
Rachel gave an irrefutable reason in a straightforward manner.
Hans, who was beside them, led the way.
"Follow me!"
Hanses led the way.
It was also the best spot to keep an eye on Harvest Inn.
It was also fruitless.
Kieran found it hard to believe.
"Did I guess wrong?
"Impossible!"
"To be able to grasp my whereabouts so accurately, there must be someone monitoring and tailing me!"
But there's no trace of them …
Could it be that the one watching me is in spirit form? "
Kieran made another bold guess when he couldn't get anything out of the situation.
Lawless and Hanses did not object to the suggestion.
As veterans, both of them knew that there were thousands of skills in the underground game.
No one could guarantee that such a skill wouldn't appear.
However, if the culprit really had such an ability, it would be troublesome.
Normal methods would not be able to lock onto the culprit.
Likewise, if the culprit wanted to assassinate someone, it would be impossible to defend against it.
Lawless and Hanses exchanged a glance and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Spirit form?"
At the side, Rachel suddenly sneered.
She turned her attention to a certain spot.
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards that direction.
A bird had appeared there.
It was a common bird.
When it caught people's attention, it behaved like a coward, jumping up and down as if it was about to take flight.
However, Rachel raised her hand, and a fishnet-like net fell from above, trapping the bird that was about to take flight.
Rachel held the net and brought the bird under her nose to sniff it. The sneer on her face grew wider.
