StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

The two people who were fighting fiercely with "Skull Crusher" had no idea what was happening in "reality" at this moment. All they could perceive was the "Skull Crusher" beating wildly in the dark in front of them.

Perhaps it was because the mechanical legs of "Skull Crusher" had been pressurized, every time he stabbed Wu Xuan with a dagger, he would retreat at a high speed, then collide with the wall and bounce back quickly, and repeat this process.

As for Wu Xuan, he could have used the red light of the mechanical eye and the warning of the Silver Wolf to parry his attack, but with the speed of "Skull Crusher" now, the red light that Wu Xuan saw was just an afterimage from half a second ago.

At this moment, Silver Wolf, who was outside the darkness, was filled with anxiety. She could only watch the skinny silhouette appear and disappear next to Wu Xuan.

——She can’t do anything.

Her emotions told her that she should rush in to help Wu Xuan, but her rationality stopped her impulse, because rushing in like this now... would only cause trouble for Wu Xuan.

After all, the current body is not the "Star Core Hunter" Silver Wolf, but the young girl Silver Wolf who just walked out of the "fast food restaurant" and did not have the "Ether Cassette" and "Prometheus".

She searched her mind for a way to resolve this situation, and the result was... there was a way, but she was completely unable to use it right now.

Listening to the occasional clanging sounds caused by the collision of swords, Silver Wolf's heart was in her throat. She really didn't want anything to happen to Wu Xuan.

Of course... this is something she cannot experience in her current overly stressful environment. After her consciousness merged with the "self" in the game, she herself did not realize that her feelings for Wu Xuan were no longer the feelings of a "player towards a game character", but she really regarded him as her partner.

However, no matter how their mentality changes, they have to get through this hurdle first.

At this moment, Wu Xuan in the darkness could only rely on his fighting instinct to dodge the attack of "Skull Crusher" as much as possible. This method was not a long-term solution. After only a few dozen seconds of attack... wounds appeared on Wu Xuan's black windbreaker, and a trace of blood oozed out of it, which made Wu Xuan feel depressed.

——He knew very well that if he couldn't figure out a way out...what he would face next would be slow death.

"Hey, hey, hey... This is the first official battle... Isn't this a game?! Why is it so difficult?!" Wu Xuan roared in his heart while enduring attacks from all directions of "Skull Crusher".

But even though Wu Xuan was covered in wounds at this moment, and even the strange straight knife had some small cracks from constantly parrying the "Skull Crusher" attacks, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He feels that he is the protagonist, and he may really have a buff called "protagonist halo". The next second, a top-level boss flies in from outside the "dark alley", rescues him, and then accepts him as his apprentice. Then he can truly reach the peak of his life.

Of course, he could only think about it. After all, this kind of thing...even a novel wouldn't dare to write it like this.

Wu Xuan racked his brains but could not figure out how to deal with "Skullbreaker" who was flying around in the space like a fly. If he put down his straight knife and exchanged injuries with "Skullbreaker"... although it was logically feasible, he could not see the movement trajectory of "Skullbreaker" and naturally had no way to do anything to him.

Continuing to fight like this is not a solution. After all, "Skull Crusher" has mechanical limbs, and a war of attrition is simply a waste of time for him.

Wu Xuan continued to parry the attack from "Skull Crusher" while thinking this. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but this time Wu Xuan felt that the force fed back to him by the straight knife was much smaller.

"There's hope! Some of his strength has been depleted. As long as I can hold on until the last moment... then we will win!" Thinking of this, Wu Xuan's black eyes once again burst into light, like a warrior with high morale.

So Wu Xuan chose to continue to fend off the attack of "Skull Crusher", but... as time passed, it was true that the attack power of "Skull Crusher" decreased, but the wounds on Wu Xuan's body became more and more. If this continued... I'm afraid he would bleed to death first.

Wu Xuan clearly felt that his hands were becoming colder and colder, his body began to tremble due to the overload, and his reaction speed was greatly reduced due to the high-intensity fighting and blocking.

Even if the attack power of "Skull Crusher" is reduced... he will not be able to block it all and will eventually be exhausted to death.

Finally, after feeling three cuts on his body, Wu Xuan's physical strength was completely unable to support him standing. He leaned on the straight knife, half-knelt on the ground with a "thump", and kept breathing, as if doing so could relieve his physical pain.

The handsome young man who was originally wearing a black windbreaker was now covered with wounds. A mini blood pool had formed where he had just been standing. The large and small wounds on his body were constantly oozing blood, which made Wu Xuan's consciousness gradually become blurred.

The figure of "Skull Crusher" finally appeared in front of him. The desperado said with a grim smile: "Hehehehe, you have no strength left, right? Then die!" After that, he waved the dagger and stabbed towards Wu Xuan's chest.

At this moment, countless images suddenly appeared in front of Wu Xuan, just like the kaleidoscope of life before death, replaying everything that this body had experienced.

He saw himself struggling to survive in the "wilderness", saw the first time he killed a person in order to protect the few living resources, and also saw the first time he met the Silver Wolf.

Wu Xuan, who had experienced a lot, naturally understood... this body, or the "self" in the game, was moved the moment he saw Silver Wolf's face, but the "self" who had no emotional experience only regarded her as his companion.

Wu Xuan looked at the "Skullbreaker" with a ferocious expression in front of him. The movements seemed to be slowed down millions of times, but... even if it was slowed down so much, he couldn't move.

Finally, Wu Xuan closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate and said softly:

"I'm sorry... Miss Silver Wolf, I betrayed your trust..."

After saying this, his consciousness fell into a coma.

Just as the "Skull Crusher" dagger was about to pierce Wu Xuan's chest, a red light appeared around Wu Xuan, protecting him like a barrier, and the multifunctional weapon also mysteriously turned into fragments at this time.

"Wu Xuan" slowly stood up from the ground, leaning on his sword, while "Smashed Skull" was shocked by the broken weapon and took several steps back.

At this moment, "Wu Xuan" slowly raised his head, a hint of angry red light flashed in his calm black eyes, and he just glared at "Smashed Skull" and made this criminal who had killed countless people fall into an ice cellar.

"Skullbreaker" sensed something was wrong and tried frantically to move his feet, but he found

——I can’t move at all.

He could only watch Wu Xuan approach him step by step, and could only watch a strange arc appear on the corner of his mouth, and then he swung the straight knife emitting red light in his hand and slashed straight at him.

This strange knife directly split half of the "Broken Skull"'s body in half, and the left half fell directly to the ground with a loud noise. This made the Silver Wolf outside a little nervous, so he asked loudly: "Wu Xuan?! How are you?!"

No one answered.

Just when Silver Wolf's emotion was about to defeat her rationality, Wu Xuan walked out dragging the half-mechanical body in his left hand and a straight knife in his right hand.

He raised his head and tried his best to smile at Silver Wolf, then fell down.

Fortunately, the Silver Wolf was not far away from Wu Xuan. He flashed in front of Wu Xuan and caught the boy who was about to fall.

At this moment, a light screen suddenly appeared in Silver Wolf's sight:
