Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2116: A Wrong Choice

An hour quickly passed, and Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting had to come out first and queue again.

Today wasn’t bad; they managed to get another turn in the evening, without waiting for the next day.

The Girl in the painting entered the ruins once and didn’t want to go in again, so after coming out, she sold all the equipment she got from the boxing arena nearby, exchanged it for a large sum of money, and bought a lot of fireworks and children’s paper cards from a nearby shop. Then, she stopped wandering and focused on folding paper while staying beside Xu Huo.

She improved her previous paper animals, making them into shapes like cones or little knives and swords, and even enlisted curious nearby children to help her.

By the time Xu Huo entered the ruins again that evening, she had several piles of folded paper weapons in front of her. Feeling finally satisfied, she tried throwing some out, immediately creating several pits on the nearby ground and cracking a lot of floor tiles.

Thinking the effect was pretty good, she retrieved the few little things that went flying, although the Paper Knife and Paper Sword were now crushed.

No problem, she smoothed them out and tossed them back into the pile.

Unaware, the people near the entrance dispersed, leaving the empty street, where suddenly three or five figures appeared. Two came from the front, while three scattered onto surrounding buildings, all eyes were on the Girl in the painting.

The Girl in the painting obviously noticed them too, so she grabbed a handful of Paper Knife and Paper Sword and threw them out, and these seemingly non-threatening paper products charged towards a player trying to dash into the ruins from the side.

"Bang bang bang bang!" The Paper Knife and Paper Sword created a series of pits on the ground, forcing the opponent back several meters, then the Girl in the painting pointed at the people opposite her, pointed at herself, and raised her communicator, "Come and fight me."

The players didn’t understimate her out of arrogance, but believed holding her off didn’t require that many people, so besides the two players coming from the front, the other three charged towards the ruins. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Not being inside a building space, it wasn’t her territory, so the Girl in the painting’s paper control range was limited. The people clearly gathered some information on her beforehand, knowing she could use Defense Prop, they immediately used equipment against her, first restricting space, sealing her along with those paper weapons, and two players attacked her mainly using close combat, displaying considerable practical experience, soon leaving wounds on her.

The Girl in the painting wasn’t a real human, so she didn’t bleed, and regular equipment weapons were hard to leave wounds on her, so after two players collaborated and distanced themselves with the discovery that all they did was tear her sleeve, they exchanged glances and swiftly launched a second round of attacks.

Considering she probably possessed very high-level Defense Prop, but advanced items generally have a flaw, which is that they can’t be used continuously for long periods, they believed controlling her would eventually exhaust her prop!

The Girl in the painting wasn’t good at fists and kicks, with limited effectiveness of paper weapons, unable to papier-mâché herself, she mostly stood there taking the hits, her clothes in tatters within a few breaths.

The Girl in the painting wasn’t the same as when she emerged from the Skinning Artisan’s Copy, though she lacked human sense of shame, she understood that in the human world, such actions carried tremendous malice—even if it wasn’t the two players’ intention, the result was the same, so when the two players closed in on her once again, she stepped back, making their weapons collide, then cheerfully slapped each one.

She promised Xu Huo she wouldn’t turn back into the painting in public, but she could scratch them with her nails.

Several long streaks of blood appeared on the players’ faces, one almost having an eyeball clawed out, after retreating and seeing the Girl in the painting again, they saw her shake her hand, then control all paper weapons to alternately attack a part of the sealing barrier, also pulling out a dagger adorned with trinkets from her backpack, stabbing at the barrier.

This item clearly had a high level, breaking the sealing barrier open in just a few blows. The Girl in the painting didn’t care about the two disfigured players, but ran straight towards the ruins entrance, only to run into two people coming out just as she was about to go in—these two were holding Spatial Power, invisible to her, and as she charged forward, Xu Huo suddenly appeared behind her, holding her in place while simultaneously using the Mental Portal to send one of the two back into the ruins.

In less than a second, the two from the ruins came back out, five reunited, once again surrounding Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting.

"How did it become like this." Xu Huo prepared to get her new clothes, but the Girl in the painting shook her head, "I’ll ruin anything new, they did it on purpose I know, they’re drooling over my beauty."

She feigned helplessness and leaned against Xu Huo, "They’re all bad guys."

"Filthy woman! Stop tarnishing my reputation!" the player with the scarred face shouted angrily, insisting they only wanted to kill, nothing like the vulgar jokes of those who harass women!

The Girl in the painting covered her face pretending to cry.

Players watching from nearby didn’t necessarily feel sympathy for her, but it didn’t stop them from mocking the group and stoking the fire, making the five attackers seem like the "bully", "oppressing the weak", turning Xu Huo the Rank-B player and the seemingly-not-even Rank-B Girl in the painting into the "vulnerable group".

"If you have guts, go one-on-one." shouted a player from the Outer Zone: "You guys in Zone 011 rely on numbers to bully, three Rank-A’s ganging up on one Rank-B, how shameless?!"

These five players were sent by the boxing arena, allowed to go into the ruins to catch people only due to Peace City Government’s concession, but they were limited to this scope, not allowed to bring more people or cause a bigger mess, or the government wouldn’t sit idly by. However, despite the confrontation, Xu Huo hadn’t used the "Time Stop" prop, nor successfully killed him with Spatial Power in the first instant, so the three Rank-A’s from the boxing arena realized, whether Xu Huo possessed Temporal Evolution was unclear, but Spatial Evolution was certain, otherwise he couldn’t have avoided the lethal moves, even returning to rescue.

"Until now, I’ve never encountered a player who mastered Psychic Power so perfectly, let alone simultaneously mastering Spatial Power." the middle-aged man leading the five approached and said, "Though it seems far-fetched, but... are you one of those three-direction super evolvers?"

He didn’t say it outright, but the meaning was clear, the three-direction super evolution refers to spiritual, spatial, and time-directed super evolution, particularly the time-directed super evolution, among those who could evolve and afford Time Force, how many are there in the entire game?

If that’s the case, it means they made the wrong choice today, forging a formidable enemy in Zone 011 for the future!
