Chapter 95 - Escaping from Burial Grounds (XXV)

Editor: Kitty

Even before Clown joined them, the vampire captain’s team was not harmonious.

The cause of the discord within the team was the boy, who held the red umbrella and gloomily laughed all day. From the first time the vampire team captain saw the boy, he had decided to find all sorts of ways to kill the strange and disgusting little boy.

But the problem was that his strategist did not hold the same thoughts as him. The vampire team captain’s strategist was the beautiful, long black-haired woman who wore a red cheongsam. She appeared very gentle, but she was actually a very intelligent and cunning woman.

This woman had no fighting ability, but according to her, she was a member of a spy organization before entering the secret chamber, holding nationalities of and ident.i.ties in more than ten different countries and proficient in eight languages. Her body had been naturally too weak to bear their training, so she could not hold a gun or a knife like some soldiers, but she was a multi-faceted spy. There was only one country that she was really loyal to, and that country was represented by her cheongsam.

The vampire team captain liked her very much. Although he knew that the ident.i.ty of this woman was very unusual and that the organization behind her and the forces she represented would bring endless troubles to many people, the vampire team captain still liked her very much. He could not give her a lot, but all that mattered was that he trusted her wholeheartedly.

But such a woman unexpectedly found a little boy in the secret chambers one day and for some reason insisted on recruiting the other party into her team, and this behaviour… was extremely strange.

Yes, it was extremely strange.

The vampire team captain raised his head to look up at the little boy in front of him. It was strange because they had met him when escaping from a secret chamber, but that chamber they were escaping from was not a Chaos Chamber Battlefield! Since they were not in a team battle, according to common sense, usually only their own team members would partic.i.p.ate in the secret chamber. So where did the child come from? He appeared so suddenly that… it seemed extremely strange!

The strangest thing was that when they first saw the child, they all thought he was a NPC in the secret chamber, but the child said that he was a player and said two inexplicable sentences to his family’s strategist when they were not paying attention. Because the vampire team captain regarded the woman as a treasure, he decided to trust this child of unknown origins.

However, this could not help but cause the vampire team captain to suspect that something was wrong. He even thought that this horrifying little boy had the abilities to slightly control people’s hearts, but this kid had a very low sense of existence when they escaped from any secret chamber. Once someone put their vigilance down a little, one would forget his existence completely. He felt like a stone on the side of the road.

The vampire team captain found the reduction of the boy’s sense of existence seemed to be one of his skills. In other words, no one would pay attention to him anywhere. Because of this skill, many demons and specters in the secret chamber would automatically ignore the boy. He could come and go freely in any secret chamber as if he was in a place with no other living creatures except for him.

The most shocking thing was that even the secret chamber’s will would ignore the child. A note would be prepared for each player when they entered the secret chamber. This slip of paper would be pasted in a conspicuous place so that when one woke up in the secret chamber, they would see it, but the child did not receive it……

He did not have the note. When the vampire team captain asked him, that hateful little devil grinned, spun his red umbrella, and said, “Note? Oh…… Indeed, I haven’t seen any for a long time.”

“Impossible! Unless you’re not a player!” The vampire team captain really wanted to scream. Where did this little devil of unknown origins come from?!

“Of course I’m a player, but the secret chamber forgot to send a note to me. This is the secret chamber’s problem. I’m not to blame for it, right?” The boy kept spinning his red umbrella as he raised his head to gaze at the vampire team captain. The vampire team captain found that the child had beautiful black eyes. The obsidian hue in his eyes appeared deep and mysterious, and he always carried a gentle smile. But when his face did not have a smile, it appeared slightly overcast, and because of his young age and cold temperament, the child would appear very gloomy.

Yes, he can only be described as gloomy. He felt like a specter floating around in an abandoned cemetery. Without a permanent residence, soundlessly and motionlessly, he would come and go without leaving any traces. Also, this child was always surrounded by an aura of despair, as if he was carrying a huge burden and had started to gradually sink into a deep abyss of despair.

The vampire team captain did not understand why such a hateful little devil made him feel this way, but no matter what the other party experienced, he could not arouse his sympathy. He just wanted to drive this hateful little devil out of his own team or simply kill him, but he could not do such a thing in front of his strategist.

So the poor vampire team captain could only stare at the boy in front of him, and in a fierce and vicious tone, he said angrily, “Put away your d.a.m.n smile and tell me everything you know!”

“You would be forcing me to do things against my will then, captain,” The little boy expressed his regret, “I’m not an omniscient G.o.d or prophet, but if you want to get out of this chamber, I know where the exit is.”

“You know where the exit is?” The boy always surprised people in critical moments. Yes, he would always obtain some critical information, but the problem was that he never revealed where he got it.

“Of course I know where the exit is, but the problem is that we have to get around that group of people,” The boy said, and pointing to the huge tree in the tomb of the G.o.d, he continued, “Then, we will have to climb up from the tree, and after that, we can get out.”

“This tree will lead us out?” The vampire team captain turned to look at the d.a.m.ned tree in disbelief: “Are you sure you are not kidding?”

“Of course I’m not kidding, sir,” The little boy continued with a gentle smile, “You have to trust your teammates.”

“But I don’t believe you.”

“You must believe me, sir.” The boy suddenly spun his red umbrella. The gorgeous colour was akin to a bright red rose in full bloom. His umbrella seemed to have some kind of magic power, which intoxicated people so they could not help but……

As if he was bewitched, after a moment’s hesitation, the vampire team captain stated, “I must believe you.”

The boy heard the answer he expected, and once again he smiled softly.

At the other corner of the vault, when the boy holding the red umbrella left, a figure swiftly appeared near Feng YuLan, and with a glimpse, it could be seen that it was Duan Li, who had been battling with the G.o.d far away. He seemed to notice something, left Specter, and returned to Ah Lan’s side. With a mere glance, he saw Feng YuLan standing still in the same place, but he still appeared to be at a loss.

“Ah Lan?” Duan Li went closer, grabbed Feng YuLan’s wrist, pinched his cheek, and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with you?”

Feng YuLan was slow to react for quite a while. It was as if he had just realized that there was someone in front of him. Seeing Duan Li, he asked strangely, “Duan Li…… Why are you here? Aren’t you going to fight with that whatever-his-name-is G.o.d?”

“I felt my carry-on secret chamber had been triggered. Before that, I saw someone near you. Don’t think that I couldn’t pay attention to you when I was far away. What happened?! Who was by your side just now?”

Duan Li was a little jumpy and nervous. He lifted his fox mask and began to observe his little magician carefully. He checked up and down carefully from his front to his back to ensure his little magician was not hurt.

“What are you talking about? No one was next to me just now. Hmm… But now you’re next to me.”

Feng YuLan was suffering inwardly. In fact, he knew that just now, there was a little boy beside him. He also gave him some medical supplies from the carry-on secret chamber, but Feng YuLan just didn’t want to tell him…… No, it was not that he didn’t want to say it, but there was some unknown force that stopped him from saying it.

Heaven knew that inwardly, Feng YuLan was almost shouting wildly. He shouted, hoping that he could quickly reveal something about the boy, tell all his team members and everyone about him! Let them be wary of this strange child, who had the power to control others! But the most terrible thing was that Feng YuLan was unable to speak about it. There was a strange force that stopped him from telling the truth.

Feng YuLan felt like he was cursed. When he wanted to express part of what had occurred, he would subconsciously bypa.s.s this topic, and he would remain in a state where he wanted to expose everything but would talk about something else instead.

Then, he began to utter something that he didn’t want to say. Moreover, Feng YuLan was shocked to find that he was gradually forgetting about what happened. He began to forget about the boy. He suddenly could not remember the boy’s appearance and what he had said. He only vaguely remembered that the child had a bright red umbrella.

He felt extremely helpless. He clearly realized the approaching danger but found that he was completely overlooking the danger. He was neglecting these important things and forgetting about them. As he almost forgot them, he said to Duan Li, “I’m really fine; nothing happened. But as for you, is it really alright to leave Specter alone?”

“Specter is much more experienced than me. He can still hold on. The one I am more worried about is you.” Duan Li was still unable to feel at ease. His intuition told him that something must have happened. Without his knowledge, someone approached his little magician and did something to Ah Lan.

“Don’t lie to me, Ah Lan. Is there really nothing?” Duan Li approached him and rubbed Ah Lan’s cheek, trying to decipher something from his little magician’s expression, but what he saw let him down. Feng Yulan looked very calm, to the point where Duan Li felt he was too calm. He seemed very composed as he replied, “Really, you don’t have to worry about me.”
