"Am I now a fish in a pond?"
"I don't think she looks like a sea queen."
Hoshida, who was almost knocked over by Sora, steadied herself, shrugged in confusion, and kissed Sora with a blush.
Then, as if she had thought of something extremely funny, her eyes sparkled, and she first used her fingers to draw the shape of pigtails on both sides of her head, then covered her mouth and giggled:
"Qiongzai~ Do you think it's possible that Aha will really turn into a little white-haired, red-eyed, twin-tailed loli and come looking for you?"
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and she laughed so hard her shoulders were shaking.
"He deliberately practiced his skills for you?"
"..."
Qiong revealed an indescribable expression.
"Even if it is Him... well, given His moral bottom line, He really could do something like that."
After all, Aha has no bottom line.
"Shall we take another 'deeper' look at Ms. Serafina these next couple of days?"
Xingshida's eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint.
"You want me to use my good looks?"
Qiong immediately realized what was happening.
"I don't mind being cuckolded, so what else is there to say?"
Xing Si Da put her hands on her hips and hummed twice.
Two days later...
When Qiong and Xingshida came to the settlement again to find Serafina.
The noise and gossip were suddenly silenced, and the bounty hunters, who usually preferred to live in groups, became quiet and peaceful.
The stench of blood filled Qiong's nostrils. The ground was covered with a mixture of colorful slime and blood, and insects and human corpses were scattered everywhere.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 503 I Have Ascended to Godhood!
The smell of blood was so strong it was pungent.
Gunshots.
Explosion sound.
The dull thud of a knife blade piercing flesh.
A dying scream.
Countless sounds churned wildly above the settlement's streets, weaving a chilling symphony of death.
It was impossible to tell who was attacking whom; the killing spread and exploded in every corner like a plague.
The bounty hunter who was drinking heartily in the tavern yesterday is now pressing the scorching muzzle of his gun against the forehead of his former comrade and pulling the trigger.
The couple who were whispering sweet nothings around the campfire just yesterday are now viciously stabbing each other with knives, each cut reaching the bone—oh God, let's hope the reason for this tragedy isn't that the woman demanded half of her assets during the breakup…
Boom! ...
A blindingly bright orange-red fireball suddenly rose up in the densest part of the crowd. The shockwave from the high-explosive bomb was like an invisible giant hammer, smashing and tearing everything nearby to pieces.
Several reconnaissance drones hovering at a height of 100 meters were also instantly blown away by the violent blast wave, turning into burning wreckage and falling to the ground.
Countless severed limbs and broken arms, like petals torn apart by violence.
The viscous blood was no longer a liquid, but more like sticky oil paint, gurgling along the cracks in the stone pavement, winding into countless grotesque streams on the ground.
"..."
Qiong and Xingshida stood on a relatively intact high platform, looking at the chaotic scene below, slightly bewildered.
"what's the situation?"
"Did we skip a version?"
"Was the middle part of the process cut out by King Crimson?"
"Could it be that the simulated universe has launched a limited-time battle royale event? Where's the announcement?"
Xingshida looked at the battlefield in front of her, which was clearly R18, with a slightly blank expression.
"Hahaha~"
Below, a bounty hunter, covered in blood and looking like a madman, roared as he slashed his slimy chainsaw at a giant beetle that was tearing apart a corpse.
The chainsaw roared, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
A gleaming blade pierced his back without warning, precisely penetrating his heart, its blood-stained tip protruding from his chest.
"Die, you insect!"
The one wielding the knife was none other than another bounty hunter, equally bloodthirsty.
The stabbed hunter fell to the ground, while the hunter wielding the blade roared hoarsely:
"Did you see that! Did you see that! Kale! I've avenged you!"
Xing Si Da frowned.
Bushgomen, weren't you shouting about killing bugs?
Why are you attacking your teammates?!
and……
Starstar blinked, her small face filled with pure confusion, and pointed at the hunters below, who were holding sharp blades:
"So, are he and Kale brothers who would risk their lives for each other, or... uh... lovers?"
She had seen the other person and Kai'er walk into the dimly lit alley earlier.
Is now the time to consider this question?
Qiong gave her a disgruntled look.
He paused, then added in an academic tone as calm as if discussing the weather:
"Actually, the way to distinguish between male homosexuals and heterosexuals is very simple. It's just a matter of looking at their buttocks. They are all very similar."
Hei Ta, Ruan Mei, and Luo Sigu, who were silently observing and recording from afar, almost fainted upon hearing this.
Xingshida's eyes lit up, as if she had obtained some unparalleled secret manual, and she immediately pointed excitedly to the chaotic battlefield below:
"Great idea! Qiongzai! Quick! Go down and take a look while it's still hot!"
Qiong took a half step back expressionlessly, hands in her pockets:
"...I don't want to."
These bounty hunters were clearly acting strangely, having fallen into a bizarre semi-mad state, viewing their former comrades-in-arms and even innocent passersby as targets to be eliminated by the swarm.
"Did you get so caught up in the atlas compilation game that you can't tell the difference between humans and insects? Or did something unexpected happen before?"
Xing Shida adopted a serious demeanor like that of Detective Dee, her gaze sharp as she turned to Qiong:
"Yuanfang, there must be something fishy about this. What do you think?"
"Why not ask the magical conch shell?"
Qiong shrugged and offered a suggestion in SpongeBob's tone.
"Yes, we can go find Serafina!"
Upon hearing this, Celesta clapped her hands abruptly, as if she had discovered Watson's blind spot.
The other party was already suspected of being Ah Ha, and given the current accident, the primary suspect is now undoubtedly Ah Ha.
"No, how did she get that meaning from that sentence?"
A few question marks couldn't help but pop up above the black tower dumpling's head.
She was certain that the two had not opened any encrypted communication channels, yet they had accomplished a message transmission that transcended human language logic.
I don't know whether to call it outrageous or just an abstract thought process.
"Walk."
Qiong and Xing immediately set off, attempting to bypass the main street where the fighting was most intense.
However, in a settlement engulfed in collective madness, avoidance is merely a wishful thinking.
The bloodthirsty bounty hunters, like sharks that have caught the scent of blood, kept leaping out from the shadows or ruins, and stray bullets flew like a storm through the narrow alleyways.
Fortunately, Starstar's strength is among the best in this group of hunters, and she can often take down any madmen who pounce on her in just a few moves.
As for those stray bullets that are not careful, just before they are about to touch Qiong's body, a solid and warm amber-colored energy shield will instantly appear, making the bullets seem like they are hitting a copper wall or an iron wall.
Kid, your main fire-type combat skill can grant teammates full version damage reduction.
After traversing the blood-soaked settlement buildings, Qiong finally spotted his target at the edge of a relatively open small square connecting several side roads.
That captivating gold hue was exceptionally striking even amidst the chaos and smoke.
Seraphina seemed to sense the gaze upon her. She turned to look at the rooftop terrace above her, her radiant blonde hair and the gleam of her gunblade shimmering in the sunlight filtering through the smoke. Her smile remained as enchanting and captivating as ever.
"I'm 7% sure now."
Qiong's gaze passed over Seraphine and landed on the hat-wearing bounty hunter opposite her—the same one who had interrupted their conversation earlier and was deeply in love with Seraphine.
"Although I don't want to believe it..."
The bounty hunter named Oz had a hoarse voice, each word seemingly squeezed out from his torn lungs. He gripped his shotgun tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force, and the muzzle trembled slightly.
"But tell me, Serafina! Did you do all this madness!?"
"Yes, it's me."
With a smile as bright as sunshine, Serafina readily admitted, her voice light and cheerful.
“I used insect powder magic on them, which put them into a state of mental confusion.”
With a bright smile, Serafina made no attempt to hide it.
"Why?!"
Oz's roar was filled with a blood-curdling despair, his eyes burning with the flames of collapsing faith and hysterical agony:
"Why did you do this?! Why did you ruin everyone?! Why ruin all of this?!"
"Now that things have come to this, let's discuss 'why'..."
Serafina tilted her head slightly, her blonde hair flowing down:
"Does it still make sense, my dear Oz?"
Those alluring eyes subtly blinked in the direction of Qiong—a wink that carried both teasing and invitation.
Immediately afterwards, she gracefully and resolutely raised the two guns in her hands, the dark muzzles steadily and coldly aimed at the heart of her former admirer.
That stunning smile now held a hint of tender sorrow and deep regret, as if she were about to bid a long and sorrowful farewell to the love of her life.
"Look how cruel fate is."
"Today, only one person can walk out of this square alive."
Her gaze locked onto Oz's eyes, which were filled with pain and struggle, and she softly urged him on, as if in the whisper of a lover:
"Go ahead and shoot."
"Eighty percent."
Upon receiving Wink's message, Qiong squinted and witnessed the tragic drama before her: 'lovers pointing guns at each other, a poignant farewell.'
"Eighty and a half, ninety percent... no, at this point there's no point in guessing."
This guy is actually practicing his skills?!
The technique of acting in romance films!
Honestly, with such perfect acting, if that scene had been filmed and released to the public, it would definitely have been a blockbuster movie!
