Chapter 88 Two Players on the Stowaway Boat

In the darkness, the fluorescent light from the mobile phone illuminated the boy's surprised eyes.

Ke Mingye stared at the date on the screen, thinking.

"The next time the comet returns is June 2029, 6, which is the last day of the extinction mission time limit."

"Is it really such a coincidence? Could it be that the so-called system is caused by this comet named 'Qiamat'?"

"If not, then this comet is too late. Coming on the last night, will it be in time to recover the abilities of the current magical girls?"

He continued to think.

"If it's too late, the player will still have to fight the magical girls. Maybe it will see that the magical girls are almost dead and give the sequence 0 magic card 'Day of Qiamat' to Comet. What can it use to fight them then? That thing is a magic card that only appears once in years. It's not surprising if it can destroy a country."

"Forget it, love is whatever."

Ke Mingye took a deep breath and turned off his phone. The last ray of light in the room disappeared, and his face was shrouded in pitch-black darkness.

"Rest. We have things to do tomorrow morning."

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and his consciousness slowly sank into sleep.

The night was silent. The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, a cold reminder sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Ke Mingye opened his eyes and saw a prompt panel in front of him.

[You received a message from your friend "Anti-Dog". ]

[Anti-Dog: It's time to leave. Their ship will arrive at the North District Port in 30 minutes. You should hurry over now.]

While checking the information, Ke Mingye held his forehead and yawned.

Anti-Dog said yesterday that two players would arrive in Huanjing on a smuggling boat today. One of the players' ID was "Cai Bing", the hacker who had been in secret contact with Anti-Dog for a long time, and the other player's ID was "Paranoia".

The "paranoid" spirit seems to be a bit abnormal, saying that he wants to come to Huanjing to challenge Qing Ya...

This was no different from a time bomb, so the three reached a consensus and decided to catch the player before he got off the boat, and then tie him up in a deserted place and let him fend for himself.

"Did the ship arrive so early?"

Ke Mingye muttered to himself and looked at the clock. It was only half past five and it was still dark outside.

He checked the Daily Bulletin again.

[Obituary: On the night of June 6, a player named "Kakira" who was born in London, England, was killed by the super villain "The God-Master Phoenix". ]

[Current number of surviving players worldwide: 95/100]

"Play with your mother... Can you die slowly?"

Ke Mingye covered his face and sighed helplessly.

It's only been a few days and there are only 95 players left. Why don't we take the lead in surrendering? If all else fails, we can kowtow to the Abnormal Control Bureau and see if they are willing to let us live another year, he thought.

But on the bright side, players who can't survive the early stages either have bad luck or are not smart enough. There's nothing wrong with screening out these players first, so that they won't hold you back in the future.

But compared to the dead players, Ke Mingye was more curious about...the three words "Phoenix".

In the system panel, the prefix of the God-Master Phoenix is ​​"super villain", not "superhero" or "vigilante"...

This is very strange. After all, in Ke Mingye's impression, the Phoenix has always been a superhero and is highly sought after by the American people. The President of the United States once said that if there is no Zeus, then the Phoenix is ​​the Zeus of the United States.

This shows how popular he once was.

However, ever since the "Watchman" captured the "Phoenix" and tortured him for several days and nights, the Phoenix disappeared completely and has never appeared in the public eye since then. Even the Super Hero Association and the Bureau of Anomalous Control have no news of him. For a while, the entire United States was looking for the Phoenix.

Some people even suspected that the watchmaker had thrown the phoenix into the sea, so the US officials used instruments to search the nearby waters, but still failed to find the phoenix.

Unexpectedly, in the past few years, Ke Mingye saw the name of Phoenix on the system panel, and now Phoenix has been judged as a "super villain" by the system...

Simply unbelievable.

"Has the Phoenix been driven crazy by the Clock Man..." he thought, "Or has the Clock Man used some means to control it, such as thought reform or mental control?"

Ke Mingye quickly gave up on investigating further. This was not something he needed to think about right now. He just took one step at a time and completed today's daily tasks first.

[Today's daily tasks are as follows]

[4000. Run meters (reward: one chance to win a lucky draw)]

[2. Purchase an item in the mall (reward: a 50% discount shopping card)]

"Can the 50% off shopping card be used to purchase skills?"

He smoothed his messy hair, closed the panel, got out of bed, walked out of the room, gently knocked on his second brother's door, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, do you want to go for a morning run together?"

If Ke Xiaomo was inside, with his keen senses, it would be impossible for him not to hear Ke Mingye's call, and he would get up and open the door immediately.

Seeing no response from inside, Ke Mingye quickly judged that his second brother should have gone out for exercise. His second brother had been getting up very early these days, and it was very likely that he had gone out for exercise at three or four in the middle of the night in order to make adequate warm-up preparations before fighting the Dragon of Disaster.

He walked back to the room, locked the door, took out a set of clothes and a box of spare sneakers from the closet, and then released the trick doll from the windowsill.

Ke Mingye ordered the puppet to pick up the clothes and the box, and watched its back disappear under the gray boundary line between the sky and the ground.

Then he turned and walked out of the room, washed up hastily, and took the elevator downstairs.

Ke Mingye was jogging along the edge of the old Jingmai district while controlling the puppet to run through the city. Finally, the puppet stopped in an alley near the port in the northern district of Huanjing, put on clothes and shoes, and then changed its appearance into a familiar one for Fanquan and others.

He fixed his hair, turned and walked out of the alley, walked down the stairs to the ground level of the harbor, and saw the anti-dog wearing a brown coat and suit pants.

"Ju... Didn't Qingmeng come?"

Ke Mingye approached Fanquan and wanted to ask where Orange Peel and Qingmeng were, but then he remembered that Orange Peel was already in Japan studying the ways of a gigolo.

"She hasn't woken up yet." said Fanquan.

"As expected of her."

"That's the ship," Anti-Dog continued.

Upon hearing this, Ke Mingye turned his head and looked into the distance, the sea breeze blowing his hair.

At the gray junction of the sky and the sea, the shadows of several fishing boats were scattered on the sea. The morning light shone from the gray sea horizon, breaking through the rolling sea fog and covering the sparkling sea surface.

A cargo ship slowly emerged on the horizon. Its bloated hull rose and fell on the sea, slowly approaching the port.

Fanquan stared at the cargo ship and whispered, "The woman standing on the deck is the 'ice cutter'."

Ke Mingye looked closely and saw the scene on the deck clearly.

I saw a woman in a black raincoat standing at the bow, playing with her phone in one hand. She was wearing a baseball cap, had shoulder-length curly hair, a calm face, and a lollipop in her mouth.

Anti-Dog continued, "The guy sitting next to him on the railing is Paranoid, our target. Suppress him as soon as he gets off the ship. I will take him away in the taxi parked at the port."

"Okay, mission received."

As Ke Mingye spoke, he looked at the man sitting on the deck.

The uninvited guest was wearing a black hoodie and a hood. His face was tightly bandaged, with only one bloodshot eye exposed.

"Oh my god, what kind of bloodthirsty hunk?"

Ke Mingye took a deep breath, his heart pounding.

Fanquan put his hands in the pockets of his brown coat and said slowly, "The bloodthirsty hunk is here. He looks like a perverted chuunibyou from anime."

"Anyway, he looks like someone who's not easy to mess with."

"I don't know his background yet, but Cai Bing said that he is very confident, otherwise he wouldn't have said such nonsense as wanting to challenge Qing Ya in a duel. Maybe he is really capable."

"It's okay. No matter how strong he is, the three of us can team up and kill him." Ke Mingye said in a low voice.

Soon, the cargo ship stopped in front of the port. Cai Bing got off the gangway first, came to Fan Quan and whispered something to him.

Immediately afterwards, the player with the ID "Paranoid" slowly stood up from the railing and walked down the gangway. The thumping sound of his feet on the iron plate was heart-pounding.

"He was carrying a sword bag, which might contain knives," said Cai Bing.

"Okay, I will kill him right away." Ke Mingye said.

After getting off the boat, Pianqi raised his eyes and looked around at the three people blocking his way, and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

"The failed Man." said Ke Mingye.

"Anti-dog."

"I've seen your name on the leaderboard. You're a player." Paranoia opened his bloodshot eyes wide and raised his eyebrows slightly behind the bandage.

"That's right." Fanquan said calmly, "I heard that you wanted to challenge Qingya to a duel, so you came to this city. Are you just kidding?"

"No, I'm serious." He laughed mysteriously, "I advise you not to stop me, otherwise..."

Fanquan sighed, turned his head and said to Ke Mingye: "Let's do it, this guy is indeed not a normal person."

"Row."

"Don't come near me!" Paranoia suddenly yelled, and at the same time took off the sword bag on his shoulder, unzipped the chain, and took out a blood-red knife from it. He covered his face and laughed, "Do you know that I have a B-level skill? You are envious, right? This is... God's luck."

The moment he took out the knife, the air suddenly became sticky, as if an invisible aura was spreading out and enveloping the space.

Ke Mingye was frightened: "Oh my god, this guy looks really fierce, how about we retreat?"

"B-level skill?" Fanquan hesitated for half a second and reminded: "Be careful of the knife in his hand."

"That's right, I'll let you ants see my B-level skill," Paranoia said, licking the blood-red knife, "——'Magical Girl, Transform!'"

The moment the words fell, a layer of blood-red cocoon light spread out from the handle of the knife, pouring towards Paranoid's body, tightly wrapping every corner of his body.

Then, she lifted her hair with both hands and smiled charmingly.

The cocoon of light that wrapped around him shattered in an instant, and a beautiful girl wearing a red and black dress and holding a huge sickle appeared in front of the three people.

Ke Mingye was stunned, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

Cai Bing was also dumbfounded. She opened her mouth slightly, and the lollipop in her mouth was about to fall to the ground.

Fan Quan was equally shocked, and his glasses almost fell off his nose.
