Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 971 Key Allies

In Hai Mu Zun's private storage room, when Lin Yu brought Si Yue to negotiate and plot with Hai Mu Zun in full swing...

On the other side of the auction house, the duo of "Order" and "Night Watch" also made a breakthrough.

"I see. I've completely figured out the behavior patterns of this bodyguard Naga!"

The titmouse in the hall stared at the shadows in the corridor and whispered.

Kuang Dao was observing the other guys in the hall. This time, Kuang Dao was not slacking off. He was trying to find out if there were any native NPCs present who were suspected of being bribed by the "plunderers" to become bodyguards.

After hearing Shanque's words, Kuangdao's expression became serious.

"Oh? What's the pattern?"

"To be more precise, it's the rules of the auction house's security system and patrol personnel." Shanque's eyes swept over a group of sirens walking out from the end of the corridor with solemn expressions. "While the Naga's stealth and concealment techniques are excellent, they're nothing new in Jingxu. So, auction houses like this are equipped with equipment that can detect stealthy Nagas... After all, I can see them with my naked eyes, so those professional security personnel must have a way."

"Also, this auction house also has a 'video system' using technology from a previous Jingxu civilization... It's similar to the surveillance we have here, the only problem is there's no way to replay it."

At this point, Shantiao paused, his eyes sweeping over a team of security guards who had just emerged from a corridor. "There are three teams of Siren security patrolling the entire auction. They move at roughly the same speed, back and forth between the exhibition halls and the corridors. So, that Naga is maneuvering in the shadows between the halls to evade those security guards. And since that guy's employer, the two 'Predators', are in that corridor, its movements are in a 15-minute cycle. In the first patrol team..."

Listening to Shanque's words, Kuangdao felt a headache coming on. "Shanque, stop it... just keep it short. I can't remember these arrangements even if you tell me. Just tell me the most crucial parts. I won't question you. What should we do? I'll listen to you!"

Upon hearing this, Shanque looked at Kuang Dao and nodded. "Okay, then the key point is that this Naga will head to the corridor on the far left every fifteen minutes. I've observed a security vacuum there for ten minutes. Also, I just carefully observed the structure of that corridor. It has a corner and an upward staircase. There should be a blind spot within a blind spot. If I use my [Props], I might be able to create a place... where even sound can't be heard."

After hearing this, Kuang Dao understood: "So, we have a place where we can directly deal with that Naga?"

"Of course," Chickadee nodded, "but the risk of doing so is... if those two 'predators' have companions, we might alert them."

Kuang Dao shook his head: "It doesn't matter. They won't necessarily be exposed anyway... and eliminating a stronger opponent will also be beneficial to us."

"What's more, if the two of us really reveal our presence and force the two 'Predators' hidden allies to take action, then we'll essentially be forcing out those guys in the dark, right?"

Kuang Dao said optimistically.

The titmouse exhaled: "That makes sense. Then... let's get started."

"Okay, when will it next enter that corridor?"

Kuang Dao said eagerly.

The titmouse did not answer first, but started to move: "Now - follow."

"But we need to completely eliminate it without leaving any trace within 10 minutes, and even have to leave some time to deal with the body, so don't make any mistakes, Crazy Blade!"

As Shantiao said this, Kuangdao laughed.

"Don't worry, Titmouse. I'm very confident in my 'destructive power' - whether it's a Naga or a Siren, I'll make quick work of it."

"Ten minutes is a bit too long—as long as you can control that guy, I'll give you eight minutes to clean up the body."

……

……

……

Ten minutes later, in the shadows under the corner stairs in the corridor on the far left.

Kuang Dao breathed heavily and rapidly, and his blood seeped through his diving suit and spread to the bottom of the sea.

Shantiao created two air barriers to temporarily block the blood from flowing out, and looked at Kuang Dao helplessly.

"How did you manage to get stabbed in the thigh by that Naga's foolish counterattack before dying when you were almost winning?!"

Kuang Dao slowly bandaged the wound on his leg and said with a grin, "Then tell me if it can be resolved within two minutes - if I don't fight back in the end, then the time limit will be exceeded!"

Looking at Naga's corpse on the ground, Shanque sighed as he squatted down and pasted the comic manuscript paper on the corpse: "I never told you that you must finish it within two minutes."

"I said it myself. This is self-imposed, understand? I have to respect the rules of the game I set and the promises I made," Kuang Dao said seriously. "If you don't respect your promises... it's like if you make a rule on your way home from school that stepping on a black brick is equivalent to stepping on lava, and then you accidentally step on it and then you cheat and say to yourself, oh no, it's not real lava anyway. That would be very boring!"

"It doesn't sound like there are any serious consequences."

The tit still expressed doubts.

Kuang Dao pondered for a moment, then added, "My example wasn't appropriate... It's like reading a novel before bed, agreeing to finish this chapter before going to bed, but because the author happened to leave a suspense, you broke your promise and continued reading - this would result in you not being able to sleep well the whole night."

Shanque listened to Kuang Dao's words and thought for a moment: "It seems to make some sense, but... it's not that serious, right?"

"Then let me give you a more appropriate example..."

As Kuang Dao was speaking, Shan Que interrupted him: "Forget it, don't give me any more examples, I think I already understand."

"And...I have a major discovery here."

Chickadee said, standing up from the corpse.

Kuang Dao was a little surprised: "What did you find?"

Shantiao showed a badge in his hand. "Found on this Naga's chest—this is the personal guard certificate of the Siren Regent. In other words... this guy wasn't directly hired by those two 'plunderers'."

Kuang Dao suddenly realized: "Aha, this Naga is a subordinate of a certain Siren Regent... It seems we have directly captured the 'key ally' of those two guys!"
