Chapter 135 Zoe Corleone

"Let's rest in the cave first."

"it is good."

The thin old man in shabby clothes nodded, the driver's attire on his body hadn't been changed, and his face still looked like a paper man.

——It was the NPC driver who pulled the cart for Lu Manghao before.

"Cough cough cough..."

The coachman coughed violently, his chest wounded by the paper servant was still bleeding out.

"Mu Bei, are you okay?"

The speaker's voice was hoarse, and there was a mechanical friction noise in the female voice.

She was wrapped in a black hooded cloak, wearing a white long-sleeved jacket, and gloves. The whole body was tightly hidden. There was a black mist under the hood, and her face could not be seen clearly.

She used special items, which concealed her features.

"I'm fine—it's probably because the two players incited monsters to kill me. The first time I saw them, I knew that they were not good people."

Mu Bei panted, and stopped the woman from taking the props, "I'm not a player anymore, these props are useless to NPCs like me, you can keep them for yourself."

The woman who was about to open the backpack paused for a long time before she nodded slightly, "Okay."

Mu Bei opened his mouth, but finally it turned into a sigh: "Why are you here?"

"After the player dies, he will be accepted as an NPC by the border area, but the high-sequence can retain part of his will," a voice came from under the hood, "I use the anchor key to wander through the dungeon and come to find you..."

Mu Bei raised his head suddenly, his two pupils showed shock: "Anchor key? You used the anchor key?!"

"Yes."

The hooded man said in a deep voice, "I can use the anchor key to take you out of the underground kingdom and back to the human world."

"Enough!" Mu Bei interrupted sharply, "As a border guard, don't you know the consequences of using the anchor key?!"

"so what!"

The voice under the hood was calm and resolute, with fear concealed in imperceptible tremors, "The clock tower in the Dawn Realm was slaughtered! Except for me, everyone died at the border. What use is this anchor key? !"

Mu Bei's lips trembled, his monster-like eyes showed sadness, and he said in a low voice, "You—"

The man in the hood suddenly raised his head and looked at the sharp arrow shot from outside the cave. The black mist elongated at the tail of the arrow, corroding the hard stone.

"Get out of the way!"

The hooded man yelled, and pushed Mu Bei away who was sluggish. The sharp arrow passed through the gap between the two of them, and the corrosive black mist instantly engulfed her wrist, which was too late to retract, and her flesh was bloody after the severe pain of tearing.

The arrows shot into the cave one after another, and the speed was badly controlled. The arrows were easy to dodge, but the corrosive black mist could not see the end of the torture.

The hooded man threw out the prepared items, and the transparent golden clock separated from the card, transforming into a huge bell jar to protect the two of them.

"Swallowed by the black mist?" Mu Bei turned his head in astonishment, "Wu Jin, the Demigod of the Sequence of Gods, is chasing you?!"

"Yes, he took a fancy to the anchor key."

Panting, she tightly clenched her bare wrist, gritted her teeth and cut off the rotting flesh with a dagger, "Since the last map, he has been hunting me, and it should be a deal with Bianyu."

"Last map...?"

Mu Bei helped her wrap up the bandage, frowning tightly, "Have you seen the chief?"

"seen."

The hooded man was silent for a long time, and his already hoarse voice became more vague, "But Sister Qing no longer has independent consciousness, she has completely turned into a monster in the underground kingdom, I didn't expect..."

She seemed to choke up for a moment, swallowing sourness in her throat, "I never thought that Sister Qing would be killed by monsters in order to protect us, and would be used by monsters to kill us in the end. I used the anchor key to awaken part of her consciousness, and Sister Qing jumped by herself." Into the Chaos River, committed suicide."

Mu Bei closed his eyes as expected, he couldn't shed any tears, but his dead heart felt the pain of a cone crack.

"Bang! Bang bang—!!"

The sound of arrows hitting the golden bell became more and more intense, and the props had been corroded and cracked.

"I'll go and draw the arrow away, you go with the anchor key," the hooded man tightened his bandages, and stuffed something to Mu Bei, "Wu Jin is chasing me, as long as I..."

"No," Mu Bei vetoed without thinking, "You are already injured, these things should be over, don't continue."

The hooded figure didn't seem to hear, and said to himself: "I put him..."

"Zoe Corleone, wake me up!"

Mu Bei grabbed the hooded man who wanted to untie Jin Zhong and rushed out, black blood replaced tears, and with a low growl, the voice was almost a roar of collapse: "We are already dead! We can't go back as NPCs! Dawn Realm You are the only one left! You are the heir, and you must pass on the oath of our Guardians!"

Zooey was stunned, and Mu Bei held her shoulders to stay where she was.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to pass it on," Mu Bei said hoarsely, and forced a smile, "You are still young, and you haven't been to many places, and you haven't experienced many things. This world is still very good, go and see us. Let's fight to the death to protect the hometown."

"But, but it's only me."

Zoe's voice visibly trembled, and tears fell from the black mist, hitting Mu Bei's bare arm.

"If you are still here, then no matter what this world is, it is meaningful to me. But if you are not here, no matter how good this world is, it is just a desert in my eyes."

The black mist was dispersed by tears, and her face gradually appeared:

"And I am the lonely ghost in this desert."

Mu Bei stared at her blankly, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "Zoe, what's wrong with your...your face?!"

Zoe looked up, the right side of her face was still exquisite and glamorous, but the other half was clinging to countless transparent thin tubes, and the left side was replaced by a cold mechanical bracket, like a mechanical girl with a strange half-face makeup.

"My body was destroyed by that fire."

Zoe's light green pupils were soaked with tears, and the mechanical skeleton on the left neck was exposed in the hazy black mist.

"I'm already going to become a monster, I can come to accompany you soon." Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and there was pain in her questioning, knocking on Mu Bei's soul, "Why do you all drive me away?"

Mu Bei blinked slowly, and said in a low voice, "Because this is not your end."

The golden bell buzzed unbearably, and Mu Bei came back to his senses, and suddenly thrust the anchor key into Zoe's hand, and the golden mantra instantly wrapped her up!
"Mu Bei?!" Zooey exclaimed in shock.

"Get out of here with the anchor key."

Mu Bei raised his head and smiled lightly at Zoe, the gentle human appearance under the monster's skin, "Zoe, don't be trapped in the past, you still have to move forward, our souls will all watch You, bless you."

The golden bell shattered into pieces, and Zoe's pupils shrank suddenly, but she was carried away by the golden storm:

"don't want--!!"

The arrows, like the most cruel and ruthless punishment in the nightmare, devoured the narrow cave with heart-piercing shouts.
