PFRG: Chapter 195

After carefully checking the surroundings, everyone returned with the potential catalysts that they had found.

At this time, there was still an hour and a half before the fifth wave of monster attacks. They returned to the open area and each team found a place to sit down.

Due to Lou Yueren’s sudden appearance, the already somewhat subtle atmosphere became even more tense.

Others knew before that this old god had a close relationship with Captain Chi Ting of the Dawn team. They didn’t expect that before he even made many statements, he would actually stand out in such a tense manner and make an enemy of everyone.

“In fact, what I just said might be a bit ambiguous. It doesn’t just involve the issue of NPC or human identity.”

Lang Xuelin spoke methodically and explained, “No matter whether he was an NPC before, we are all players who have entered the same instance and fought side by side until now. Of course, we still remember the kindness. But… in any case, Mr Lou, you can read the content of the document first, and you might know what I was talking about at that time.”

Lou Yueren sat on a worn stone bench, his long legs crossed naturally in front of him. Hearing this, he just laughed lazily. “I don’t need to see, nor do I need to know. As you can see, I have never had a big picture view, and I don’t have much rationality. I do things completely according to my mood at the time. Unfortunately, I am a bit tired after the last wave of monsters attacked. Now my mood is basically at an extremely bad level. Captain Lang, are you sure you want to try and tell me your big truths in this situation?”

“……” It had been a long time since Lang Xuelin had met someone who spoke to him like this, but the other person had the capital to do so. This attitude of ‘I’m just being unreasonable. What can you do about it’ made him feel troubled, like a scholar meeting a soldier.

He Yuanqing had always known Lou Yueren’s character, so he knew that this guy was simply protecting his own people at this moment.

He cleared his throat and spoke at the right time in the deadlock. “In fact, it is just a file. It doesn’t really explain anything. Rather than this, we should arrange how to resist this fifth wave of attacks as soon as possible. As the number of attacks continues to increase with every wave, there are a total of four strongholds. If we want to at least protect the last one, for safety reasons, we need to complete at least two more waves of resistance in this No 2 stronghold.”

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the figure standing up next to him and paused. “Where are you going?”

Lou Yueren not only stood up for himself but also called Chi Ting and the others from Dawn. Hearing this, he turned around and raised his eyebrow lazily. “Don’t you think that we are dangerous? Of course, we should find a place to hide quickly before any trouble comes. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, it will be bad for you to be attacked from all sides~!”

He Yuanqing felt like he was having a heart attack after hearing these words.

Originally, he thought that after experiencing the lesson of failure in the ultimate instance and meeting Captain Chi, Lou Yueren’s character would’ve improved a lot. Now it seemed that it was true that it was difficult to change one’s nature… what nonsense!

Lou Yueren looked as if he would be in a much better mood as long as he could get rid of these people. After leaving, he waved to the other people present in a cheerful manner. Even after he walked away, they could still hear him faintly humming.

The Dawn team walked away, leaving the other teams with mixed expressions.

“Captain Lang, this isn’t your problem.” Soon, Xu Gao, the captain of the Ten Thousand Years Prison team, spoke up. “It is reasonable to pay extra attention to this type of situation in an instance.”

“Of course, it is understandable that they feel unhappy.” Lang Xuelin also shook his head helplessly. He thought back to the contents that he had read in the document, and his expression was slightly gloomy. Previously, the Dawn team was still on the scene, and it wasn’t convenient for him to say more. Now they were the only ones left. He thought for a while before finally asking truthfully, “I think everyone has probably seen the strength of Captain Chi Ting. If the phantom army summoned to this extent goes berserk, do you think… the pressure it brings will be greater than the ninth wave of alien attacks that needs to be dealt with in the end?”

Once these words were spoken, no one responded for a long time.

“Okay, it is just as I thought.” Lang Xuelin sighed helplessly. “Since everyone feels the same way I do, it makes me feel a lot more relaxed. Since there is a high probability that none of us will survive after Chi Ting loses control, it is useless to think too much. We might as well just enjoy ourselves and cherish the present moment.”

These words made Xi Qinxin happy. “What a great way to enjoy life while you can and cherish the present moment. If it only comes to self-persuasion, Lang, I admire you.”

Upon hearing this, Lang Xuelin could only smile bitterly.

What else could he do if he couldn’t convince himself to accept reality?

Before entering this instance, all of them were famous top players on the leaderboard. After entering this instance, the huge pressure of survival almost suffocated them step by step. As for the people of the Dawn team, who would’ve thought that such an unknown team could burst out with such great strength and become the core force supporting the safe advancement of this instance?

The most crucial thing was that from the so-called aftermath in the beginning to the step-by-step display of this ability, the last wave allowed them to witness the huge number of phantoms with their own eyes. As long as they thought that every phantom in his army seemed to have personal skills comparable to those of the top players, they felt an insurmountable sense of frustration for the first time since entering this unlimited world.

The high-risk mark highlighted in the file was too eye-catching, but it was more accurate to say it was a type of fear rather than exclusion.

The more they witnessed such a powerful ability that was completely at a higher dimension, the more clearly they realized that once this man called Chi Ting was completely alienated, he would definitely be a more terrifying existence than the alien army that they needed to resist.

On the one hand, they hoped that the powerful Dawn team could resist the enemy together with them. On the other hand, they were worried that the Dawn team would become a greater threat in the instance. In fact, Lang Xuelin and the others knew very well that this type of wanting both was somewhat too ugly.

“In fact, the problem isn’t that complicated.”

A voice sounded. Once the others looked, they found that it was Qi Xiu, whom Chi Ting had named to help lead the team. He noticed the gazes from all around him and just smiled. “In fact, Ah Ting, I mean, Chi Ting. Since he can maintain this degree of alienation and stay awake, it meant that things might not have developed to the critical level as described in the file. So instead of looking for trouble here, it is better to put all your thoughts on resisting external enemies. After all, even if we really reach the point of complete alienation and have no way out, it isn’t too late to enjoy life while you can, just as Captain Lang said. What do you think?”

Someone said with disdain, “I hate leaving things like passing an instance or not to fate.”

As the captain of the Jazz team, he really didn’t have much to say in front of these top teams, so Qu Leng didn’t say anything. At this time, it wasn’t known what he was thinking about but he suddenly laughed. “In fact, it doesn’t necessarily depend on fate, as long as…”

Before the others could react, Qi Xiu interrupted Qu Leng before he could continue speaking. “Captain.”

Qu Leng sneered and slightly raised an eyebrow. “Okay, didn’t we say we should discuss the response to the fifth wave first? We should start making arrangements now.”

“Yes, just like before. Captains, please come out and confirm the battle areas that each team plans to be responsible for.” He Yuanqing brought the topic back at the right time. During this time, he glanced at Qu Leng without saying a word.

The words just now were interrupted by Qi Xiu, but it was obvious that since he was able to think it, the other captains present had to guess the second half of the sentence that wasn’t said.

It wasn’t difficult to see the attitude expressed by Lou Yueren from his actions just now. As for He Yuanqing, he naturally didn’t want to be enemies with this old friend who finally returned again. In addition, the performance of the Dawn team along the way was obvious to all. He didn’t think it was necessary to take a step of no return just for a situation that might not occur.

However, these were only his thoughts after all. These top teams all had their own ways of operating. He could only wait and see what choices they would make at that time.

He Yuanqing sighed secretly in his heart. He stood up and was the first to circle the most stressful core area for his team.

This was exactly the part that the Dawn team was responsible for in the last wave. Now that the Dawn team might not necessarily participate in the defense, someone always needed to step up and take up the responsibility. Among the current top teams, the Prisoner team had the best preserved strength.

As the combat meeting was being held, the members of the Dawn team returned to the rest area along the same route.

Lou Yueren looked at Chi Ting countless times along the way, but never got any response. Once he entered through the door, he finally couldn’t help saying, “My dear, are you sure you don’t have anything to say?”

Chi Ting raised his eyes and met his gaze directly. The doubt in his expression didn’t seem fake. “Haven’t you already said everything I want to say?”

No one else followed them in. Even Song Xuefeng, who was taking a nap in the room, was dragged out by Ji Xingque with sleepy eyes.

Now that the door behind them was closed, there were only the two of them in the room. Lou Yueren looked at Chi Ting’s expression and felt a bit amused. “Are you really not angry?”

“Maybe a bit, but it seems that I’m not as angry as you.” Chi Ting thought for a moment and smiled. “I know you are worried about me, and I feel a bit happy about this.”

Lou Yueren opened his mouth and closed it again. He repeated this several times and the anger he originally felt towards that group of players finally disappeared completely. “You really are…”

The following words were completely blocked by the lips pressed gently against his mouth.

Chi Ting’s kiss was very light as if he was carefully feeling the temperature of this person’s breath. He slowly rubbed against Lou Yueren’s lips, and his soft voice sounded comforting. “But, can you stop being angry now? That information wasn’t fake. Just like what was recorded in it, I am very dangerous. To be precise, I am almost beyond the scope of human beings. You also know the consequences of my abilities once they get out of control… In fact, I have long been accustomed to their attitude. It is just like those people in the supervisory bureau. They need me but are afraid of me at the same time.”

“Chi Ting, sometimes, I really can’t understand how you can say such words so lightly.” Lou Yueren gritted his teeth and hugged the man tighter in his arms. He rarely remembered the reality that he was still in the instance, or perhaps what he said at this moment was only for Chi Ting to hear. The shadow under his feet surged up and directly surrounded the two of them tightly. Even all the sounds were densely locked in it.

The darkness was enough to instantly magnify all the sensations several times. Lou Yueren unscrupulously kissed Chi Ting’s thin lips, and the hand around his waist became stronger and stronger as if he wanted to rub the person into his body.

The dark surroundings were gradually drowned out by dense breathing. At this moment, perhaps countless people were watching this unprecedented instance competition in the square outside. But for the moment, they were the only ones left in the darkness enclosed by the shadows.

Finally, the kiss gradually faded. Lou Yueren pinched Chi Ting’s jaw and licked his lips with lingering satisfaction. Then he continued in a low voice, “But I have finally confirmed one thing. My dear, Chi Ting, Captain Chi, you really lack too many human attributes. What you need to understand most now is…”

There was a slight pause, and Lou Yueren’s voice scattered in the darkness. “To become an invincible human being, the most important quality you should possess is ‘selfishness’, not blind ‘dedication’.”

In such an environment, Chi Ting couldn’t see Lou Yueren’s expression. He could only feel Lou Yueren’s hot breath next to him.

There was a brief silence, and he smiled silently. “Thank you, I learned it.”
