“What? Little Li is dead!?”
The cry of exclamation made Tang Luo open his eyes. It also stopped the utterly inadequate injury treatment, though that was still better than not doing anything.
“The whole person was ripped apart,” said Zhou Zhenguo.
Needless to say, everyone thought of Jack the Ripper.
“Let’s take a look?” asked Little Chu as he pushed up his glasses that had slipped down slightly.
Zhou Zhenguo nodded and took everyone to the toilet. When they were near, he suddenly stopped and took a step back.
The sudden move startled Little Chu and the rest. They also took a few steps back. Only Tang Luo kept walking, as he went around Zhou Zhenguo. He arrived in front of the closed door and was about to reach out and push it open without any hesitation.
“Be careful!” shouted Zhou Zhenguo.
He had not closed the toilet door when he left, but now the door was closed. Even the bloody footprints left behind were gone. Such abnormalities contained danger.
Tang Luo put his palm on the door, paused, and exerted a little force.
The locked door slammed open, hitting the wall with a loud bang.
“Ah!”
Li Liang, who was sitting on the toilet bowl behind the door, shouted and fell to the ground, as he glanced around frantically. He looked like he had just woken up.
“He is still alive.”
Tang Luo stepped back to make space, allowing Zhou Zhenguo and the rest to see Li Liang, who had just woke up.
Zhou Zhenguo’s eyes widened.
Little Chu and the rest cast doubtful gazes, constantly switching between Zhou Zhenguo and Li Liang.
‘Okay, what about the body that was ripped apart?’ they all thought.
“I saw it clearly…” said Zhou Zhenguo.
“What did you see?” Li Liang stood up with a strange expression and walked out without caring about what was happening.
Zhou Zhenguo reacted strongly. He pointed at Li Liang and shouted, “Stop right there!”
Li Liang could only stop.
“Uncle Zhou, calm down, we can sit down and slowly figure out what happened,” said Little Chu.
The rest nodded like little chicks.
A few minutes later…
Li Liang had an incredulous look on his face. “What the hell!? I just sat in the toilet for a while and fell asleep! How could I die? Uncle Zhou, don’t scare me.”
Zhou Zhenguo hugged his chest with both arms, as he looked at Li Liang quietly. He believed his own eyes and his own judgment.
Therefore, the Li Liang before him was no longer Li Liang!
Jack the Ripper, who was in the mission within The Game of Gods And Demons, could not possibly be that “ordinary” serial killer from history. He must have some special abilities.
Zhou Zhenguo was prepared for this.
Little Chu asked hesitantly, “Uncle Zhou, could it be that you have made a mistake?”
Zhou Zhenguo frowned as he closed in on Li Liang, as though he was trying to examine him. “Maybe it was my mistake?” He then violently reached out his hand, waving a fist at Li Liang.
On the ground, a black chain appeared out of thin air. It coiled around Li Liang and burrowed into the ground on the other side. The black chain tightened, restraining Li Liang and holding him in place.
That was a skill Zhou Zhenguo had obtained—Imprisoning Chain.
It could restrain its target, holding it in place in order to restrict its movement.
With Zhou Zhenguo’s current proficiency, if he wanted to use this ability, he needed to be within ten meters of his target, and spend some time to mark it. Once the target was successfully locked on, he would immediately activate his skill.
There were also requirements on how to mark the target. Zhou Zhenguo must see the target with his own eyes, and at the same time, he must focus all his attention on it.
The target’s movement, too much obstruction blocking the line of sight, and Zhou Zhenguo’s own lack of concentration could prevent him from using this skill.
In other words, in an intense battle, that chain was actually very difficult to use.
As Zhou Zhenguo became more proficient, the success rate of his Imprisoning Chain got higher.
“Uncle Zhou, what are you doing?”
Everyone was frightened by Zhou Zhenguo’s sudden outburst.
Li Liang naturally struggled. The chains kept clanking, forming echoes in the empty church.
Zhou Zhenguo lowered his hand. He stopped closing in and took a step back. It was not that once the chain tied up its target, it could restrain it for good.
Apart from the current limit of two minutes, it was also related to the strength of the target. A strong and powerful target could break free easily.
Zhou Zhenguo was sure that with his current Imprisoning Chain, even the real world’s strongest man would not be able to break out of it. Ordinary people like Li Liang were even more unlikely.
However, the question was, was Li Liang an ordinary person? Could he, who was Jack the Ripper in disguise, break free from the chain? That was unknown.
It would be a joke if Zhou Zhenguo approached him and got killed by him instead.
Zhou Zhenguo took two steps to the side and grabbed the candlestick on the table.
The candle had burned out, and there was a spike as long as a finger that was pointing out from the area where the candle was supposed to be fixed on. This was sufficient to be used as a weapon.
When one entered into The Game of Gods And Demons, they were unable to bring all sorts of things along. There was no such thing as dry rations or weapons.
Want a weapon? Need to improvise and make use of whatever materials were present.
Upon seeing Zhou Zhenguo’s movements, Li Liang began to struggle violently. “The one with the surname Zhou! What are you doing!”
That man, who had always been kind, suddenly turned against him?
Was he crazy? Or was that his disguise ever since he had entered the mission world, and now he was revealing his true colors?
“Uncle Zhou!”
Little Chu and the rest shouted from the side, trying to stop them. However, they did not make any move.
When facing a veteran that had turned against them, they, who had just entered into The Game of Gods And Demons, were extremely weak and powerless.
No one was willing to confront that veteran player for a stranger they had just met.
