Chapter 226 Caitlin's Doubts, and... the Provocation from Onizuka Ryuichi
Thor was reveling in the thrill of subduing the demonic blade.
Completely unaware, behind him, Caitlin's brows were tightly furrowed.
She always felt that something was wrong.
Everything went too smoothly from beginning to end.
It went so smoothly, like a carefully orchestrated drama.
The assassin named "Zhao Hu" made every move perfectly, steering the situation in a direction most favorable to them.
Is all of this really just a coincidence?
Caitlin didn't believe it.
Her intuition told her that this seemingly honest and kind-hearted Eastern man was far more dangerous than he appeared.
Her gaze, like that of the sharpest eagle, was fixed intently on Chen Yifan.
She tried to find even the slightest flaw in his face.
But she was disappointed.
On Chen Yifan's face, there was only the loss and frustration of losing her "treasure". Her appearance was so real that Chen Yifan began to wonder if she was overthinking things.
"Caitlyn".
Just then, Thor's voice pulled her back from her reverie.
He has successfully used his lightning power to temporarily suppress the resentment within the demonic blade.
He looked at the demonic blade in his hand, his face filled with undisguised satisfaction and arrogance.
"Clean up the battlefield and collect all the identity cards and chips."
"Yes, boss."
Caitlin looked away, forcibly suppressing her doubts.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking things.
After all, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery seems so ridiculous.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up.
This time, they acquired seven identity cards and sixty-two Void Chips.
It was a bumper harvest.
Thor's mood improved more than ever before.
He glanced at Chen Yifan, who was still feeling "disappointed" beside him, and surprisingly, felt a sense of "comfort".
He walked up to Chen Yifan and tossed him the three identity cards he had just seized from the Middle Eastern team.
"These three cards are a reward for you and your brother."
His tone was full of charity.
"Consider it... compensation for offering you the precious sword."
Looking at the three cards in his hand, Chen Yifan's face immediately brightened, revealing an expression of overwhelming gratitude.
"Thank you so much, brother! Thank you so much, brother!"
This naive and unsophisticated attitude drew silent disdain from those around him.
But none of them knew.
Thor thought he had suppressed the vengeful spirit.
In reality, that was just Chen Yifan allowing him to suppress it.
As long as Chen Yifan has a single thought...
The next second, this arrogant Thor will have his sanity torn apart by hundreds of thousands of vengeful spirits, turning him into a madman who can only scream!
but……
Now is not the time.
He handed one of Torsch's identity cards to Zhao Hu.
Then, he picked up a card himself.
When he saw the information on the card, a glint of something unfathomable flashed deep in his eyes.
[Identity Card: Traitor]
[Faction: Neutral]
[Ability: Backstab (Active) - You can designate a target and deliver a guaranteed critical hit. This attack ignores 50% of the target's defense. This ability is doubled against targets of the same faction. Cooldown: 24 hours.]
[Mission: In the game, betray your team at least once.]
traitor.
Good guy.
The game's designers must be afraid that the team isn't chaotic enough.
He calmly put the card away.
Then, he put the last card into his pocket.
He didn't look at the card.
"Big brother,"
Chen Yifan moved closer to Thor, a fawning smile on his face.
"Where do we go next?"
"Keep looking for other people."
A murderous glint flashed in Thor's eyes.
"Get rid of the rest of the rats as well."
"Then, we'll find a place and wait peacefully for the game to end."
His plan was simple yet domineering.
In the early stages of the game, use your superior strength to nip all potential threats in the bud.
Then, we simply wait for victory to arrive.
"Alright! Wherever you point, brother, we brothers will fight!"
Chen Yifan immediately pledged his loyalty.
The group set off again.
This time, the atmosphere within the team became somewhat delicate.
Thor's men, though still looking down on Chen Yifan's "flattery," dared not underestimate his strength.
Zhao Hu, on the other hand, was completely reduced to a heartless tool, a mere shield bearer.
He has now given up thinking.
Because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with the pace of this madman next to him.
Just when you think it will be one way, the result is often the opposite.
Rather than fentanyl brain cells.
All he needs to do is raise the shield when needed.
Soon, they arrived at the last landing point of the white light.
Just like before, this place is also a ruin.
But unlike before.
There are signs of a fight here.
On the ground, there were scattered pieces of broken armor and dried bloodstains.
"Looks like we're a step too late," Caitlin's voice came from the back of the group.
"The people here have been cleared out."
"Oh?" Thor raised an eyebrow.
"Which team moved so quickly?"
Just then.
"Big brother! Look! What's that?!" Chen Yifan's signature loud voice rang out again.
He pointed to a half-collapsed fountain in the center of the ruins.
On the stone statue above the fountain, a hideous, demonic head was drawn in blood.
Below the ghost head, there was a line of incredibly arrogant words written in blood.
"Thor, your head is mine, Ryuichi Onizuka."
Onizuka Ryuichi!
The Japanese swordsman who, according to the information, should have already lost his arm and quit the game!
Instead of backing down, he launched a blatant provocation against Thor in this way.
"court death!"
Thor's eyes instantly blazed with boundless fury!
He felt his authority had been challenged like never before!
A piece of trash who should have been eliminated long ago still dares to be so arrogant in front of him!
"Find him! Find him for me!"
He let out a beastly roar.
"I want to chop him into mincemeat myself!"
The entire team immediately sprang into action.
Like a pack of mad dogs, they frantically searched the ruins for any trace of Onizuka Ryuichi.
Only Chen Yifan and Zhao Hu remained standing still.
They looked at the blood-red ghost head pattern, and then at the scattered remnants of equipment belonging to the South American branch.
They exchanged a glance.
What a brilliant move, a very blatant attempt to frame Jiangdong.
It seems someone deliberately used Onizuka Ryuichi's name to provoke Tohru.
but.
What Chen Yifan least expected was...
Thor...
You believed it so easily?
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Hu, who was equally puzzled, beside him.
"Let's go."
"Let's go see who the last harbinger of the plague is!"
