The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 22: Strange Mask
Marvin shot the totem pole in the center of the magic circle from 500 meters away, and the deer skull and human skeletons shattered all over the ground.
He immediately put away his gun and was ready to run away at any time, but nothing happened. Not even one of the cultists in the building came out, and no one climbed to the roof of the annex building.
The enemy seemed to be waiting. They didn't know how many people Marvin had and what kind of firepower he had.
Marvin went down the hillside and approached the abandoned garden carefully.
He had completely memorized the terrain of every step. If there was anything wrong, he would teleport backwards and then turn around and run.
He chose to approach from the front because it was convenient and fast to run on the flat terrain...
As he got closer and closer to the small square, the totem pole should be a fake, but he was not sure about the magic circle on the ground, so he had to be cautious.
With his magic knowledge, he couldn't understand the magic circle, but he couldn't rule out whether it was something outside his knowledge system.
300 meters
250 meters
200 meters
150 meters
He took two more steps forward.
[Hint: Under mental attack, mental attribute determination in progress... Mental attribute is higher than 15, determination passed, you are immune to this mental attack. ]
Marvin had no time to read the prompt.
Bang, gunshots rang out in the annex building.
A metal tower shield instantly appeared in his left hand, but it didn't block anything, and the bullet missed, and it was a bit off.
Then dense gunshots rang out in the two buildings, at least 15 guns were aimed at him, but few could hit him accurately.
A dozen cultists swarmed out of the annex building and rushed over frantically.
Marvin put the shield behind his back and turned around and ran.
With the advantage of the mountain terrain, he would not fight so many people on the flat ground.
…
On the third floor of the main building, the high priest narrowed his eyes, and his resentful eyes looked at the enemy running away through the eye holes of the mask and the gaps between the tree roots.
There was only one person, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
After using it for a long time, Mark Thomas also had some experience in using this strange deer antler skull mask.
He knew that some gifted people could resist "his superpowers", but it didn't matter. The closer they were to him, the greater the impact of the mask.
He had not yet encountered any creature that could completely ignore his power, and no enemy could get within 30 meters of him, including the death claw that had scared him to the point of peeing his pants.
'Hmph, you're lucky this time. If you get closer next time, I'll make you live a life worse than death.'
The high priest used the mask to order the believers who had run away to come back quickly. These tools still had to protect him, and he couldn't lose them again.
Unexpectedly, during the few seconds he was proud of himself, the lunatics below ran very fast.
Five believers had already run 200 meters away, completely beyond the radiation range of the mask.
This caused a dozen people to run back, and the other five continued to chase.
Marvin dodged in an S-shaped pattern all the way, and bullets occasionally hit the shield on his back, making a clanging sound.
The gunshots suddenly became less, and he turned his head to see, yo ho, there is such a good thing?
He immediately turned around and supported the shield with one hand and took out the "fixative" with the other hand.
There is a gap on the top right side of Ileris's tower shield to avoid blocking the view when he sets up the shield. Now it is just right for setting up the gun, which is very convenient.
After an afternoon of fighting, he has already figured out the opponent's firepower configuration. There are no snipers, no rockets, and not even grenades.
The only heavy machine gun of the cultists was also broken by his shot. Now he has no worries at a distance of 200 meters.
5 crazy people, 5 short bursts, all solved.
On the third floor, the high priest who was observing from the gap saw that this was too much, and immediately ordered the believers in the building to shoot again as a cover.
At the same time, he ordered the ten people outside to fight and retreat.
However, some of them have been in the cult for too long, and their CPUs have long degenerated into calculators, and they can't handle such a complex instruction of "fighting and retreating".
So the ten people outside were in chaos again, some ran back, some turned around and rushed towards the enemy, and some fought and retreated.
The distance of 150 to 300 meters is Marvin's comfort zone with a rifle, which is not much more difficult than shooting.
After a "fierce exchange of fire", only 4 people escaped back to the annex building.
Marvin took the time to look at the prompt just now.
The mental attribute judgment is that it can be judged as passed if it is higher than 15. It seems that this is the kind of mental attack, but the judgment threshold is a bit low.
His mental state is currently 40, which is much higher than 15. Even if the range mental attack is more fierce as it goes to the inner circle, it is still far from his attribute upper limit.
The high priest was a little panicked. His superpower that rarely missed was not effective. The enemy's shooting was so accurate that his subordinates were a little vulnerable.
He knelt down in the room, crossed his hands and crawled on the ground, begging "God" to quickly send the big moth to deal with this damn enemy outside.
...
Marvin held the shield, hid his whole body behind the shield, and moved forward steadily. From time to time, bullets hit the shield, making a clanging sound.
It is not difficult to determine the center of a circle. Just try a few directions. Marvin quickly came to a conclusion.
The caster is definitely in the main building, but it is still unclear which floor he is on.
He received the judgment prompt again. He paused for a moment because he did not know whether the caster was a person or an object. Anyway, the other party did not have heavy weapons and could not break the shield.
This is done to prevent the caster from being a person and increasing the attack intensity on his own.
Now we have just entered the attack circle. If the other party can suddenly increase the intensity at this distance, it is still in time to teleport and escape.
But it didn't happen, so I kept going.
[Hint: I was attacked by a spirit, and the spirit attribute was being judged... The spirit attribute was higher than 17, and the judgment passed. You are immune to this spirit attack. ]
Sure enough, the closer the distance, the higher the attack strength.
Stop again to avoid accidents.
Still nothing, so I kept going.
Stop and go...
[Hint: I was attacked by a spirit, and the spirit attribute was being judged... The spirit attribute was higher than 27, and the judgment passed. You are immune to this spirit attack. ]
Within 100 meters, the attribute judgment value jumped from 23 to 27.
I couldn't go forward for the time being, and there were still more than a dozen enemies. If the caster and the crazy believer rushed out together, and the judgment threshold was too high, it would be easy to overturn.
There were more bullets hitting the shield, but there were fewer gunshots in the building. It seemed that the enemy's bullets were not endless.
Marvin glanced at the gap in the window on the third floor. His eyes under the shadow of his hood seemed to say to the person at the window: "I found you. Your mental attack is ineffective. Your little brother can't stop me. What are you going to do next?"
In fact, it was just a dark gap. He didn't see anything, but he could try to trick it. What if.
On the third floor, the high priest leaning against the wall was breathing heavily. He was scared by that look and his bladder was a little swollen.
Luckily, his body had long been wood-like and he was still wearing a mask on his face, otherwise he would be sweating all over his face and trembling.
Why can he pee even if he has turned to wood? Who knows.
Is the caster in the building actually a coward? It's possible. It's also possible that the caster is actually an object.
Marvin moved horizontally to the front of the secondary building, held up the shield and stood still, switched to a sniper rifle, and shot at the enemy behind the window one by one.
Since he tricked once, he might as well pretend to let go of the main building.
If the caster is a coward, he should always give him a chance to escape. It would be best if you can lure him out.
If the lure doesn't work, or the caster is not a person but a thing, then it doesn't matter which side you shoot first.
The 12.7mm sniper rifle can completely penetrate a thinner concrete wall, but because of the lack of perspective equipment, it is impossible to determine where the enemy is and it is not easy to shoot randomly.
But with the guidance of the window and the muzzle flame, there is no problem, just shoot wherever there is fire.
The high priest is now in a panic.
One priest died, and there are less than 20 believers left. It seems that they can't stop the ruthless guy outside.
The dear big moth didn't show up either, and the "true god" gave up at the critical moment.
What can I do? Or run away?
A back window on the third floor was not completely blocked by the tree roots, and a gap could be opened to squeeze out. This was the way out he left for himself.
But when the time came, he didn't dare to do it, because the opponent's shooting skills were too accurate and he ran too fast.
The hillside on the north side behind the building was too steep. He climbed up ten meters and could slide down nine meters.
Even if he wanted to escape, he could only escape from the gentle slope on the east or west side. The enemy was guarding in front of the building. With his slow speed, it was difficult for him not to be shot.
The high priest thought about it and came up with a solution. He decided to wait a little longer.
The enemy must be coming to find him. When the enemy entered the building, he would immediately climb down from the third floor and escape. It would be perfect.
As for betting on who would die first within 30 meters? He had just thrown away this unreliable idea 15 seconds ago.
The high priest and gambling are mortal enemies!
He did not do nothing, but ordered all the believers in the two buildings to rush out and fight head-on through the mask.
Now the distance is close enough, and the believers have a good chance to surround the enemy.
Maybe this powerful lone ranger is a hero with a sense of justice in his heart. Maybe he will face the "bad guys" fearlessly.
He is looking forward to the situation where the good guys are surrounded by the cultists, then he will have a chance to make the other party live a life worse than death, hehehe...
Apparently he forgot how cleanly this powerful lone ranger ran before.
A dozen cultists swarmed out of the main entrances of the two buildings. Marvin threw a few grenades and turned around to run with his shield on his back without any hesitation.
"Fuck!"
The high priest on the third floor was furious.
He had never hated the terrain of Clancy Manor as much as he did now. Why did he choose such a hell of a place? Even escaping is so difficult!
Marvin started a mountain guerrilla war again. In order to prevent the mastermind from escaping in the main building, he not only fought recklessly, but also had to pay attention to whether there were still people there from time to time.
Inevitably, he was shot several times, and the wounds were concentrated on the back and left shoulder.
He kicked away the head with white totem patterns on his face, wiped the long knife, took out the treatment needle, and stabbed it directly into the side of the neck.
After two needles, the stinging disappeared, and he moved his shoulders and back, and he raised his feet and ran towards the main building.
...
Hu... Hu...
The high priest ran towards the hillside to the east with rapid breathing.
The gunfire stopped. That damn guy would definitely enter the building from the south and would not see me running behind the building.
There were only a few dozen meters to the mountain, and I would not be caught if I entered the mountain.
In order to speed up, the high priest came out of the back window and jumped down from the second floor.
He also landed on his back to avoid breaking his legs.
With the wooden physique of the high priest, this height only hurt a little, and he was not injured at all.
However, his bladder was not held tight, and he leaked one trouser leg after another.
He could not care about so much. While cheering himself up, the high priest ran with his numb legs. The long robe was really a hindrance when running...
Marvin was fighting guerrilla warfare with the believers on the western hillside. The high priest came out of the window on the north and then fled to the east.
Even though he was fast, the high priest was lucky enough to escape into the mountain.
Within 200 meters, Marvin did not receive any mental attack prompts, and no enemies rushed out of the building.
Within 100 meters, there was still no one.
All the way downstairs, both buildings were quiet, and still not attacked by mental attacks.
This is not normal!
He rushed into the main building like a gust of wind, and climbed to the third floor in just 6 seconds. He found the gap between the tree roots at the back window, and there were fresh footprints under the windowsill.
Footprint identification.
There were also footprints on the windowsill, which seemed to indicate that the caster was a person, or something that could be carried by a person.
Marvin preferred the latter, after all, continuous casting is usually very difficult. If it was an object, it would be more normal.
It was not his fault that he ignored the back window.
When he was scouting in the morning, he had also seen it on the northern cliff.
The sun in the northern hemisphere is southward, and this half is hidden in the shadows. It is far away and cannot be seen so clearly. He thought all the windows were blocked by tree roots.
Marvin chopped the tree roots with two slashes and jumped down directly, with his footprints extending eastward.
Just as he was about to chase, he suddenly smelled a smell of urine and a puddle of water on the dry land.
He went to relieve himself temporarily while escaping? What kind of operation is this? He was still urinating in front, as if he still hadn't finished urinating?
My friend, if you have a disease, treat it early, don't be afraid of seeing a doctor.
Marvin shoveled up a piece of soil rich in fertilizer with three consecutive slashes and threw a tracking spell on it.
This medium is more reliable than something close to your body. Although it is a bit disgusting, it would be a waste if you don't use it. It is not very reliable to just track the footprints.
The direction indicated by the magic is consistent with the direction of the footprints. Marvin used a cloth bag to carry the soil and chased at full speed.
...
Hu...Hu...
The high priest's legs and feet were not tired, but he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
But he didn't dare to stop at all, and he didn't even know where he ran to. There were trees, bushes and stones all around.
‘I am a person with superpowers, I am not an ordinary person. Keep running until it gets dark. That bitch will definitely not be able to find me when it gets dark.’
‘How about taking a break? It doesn’t matter if you take a break. That person is definitely not chasing us. How could he find us in the wilderness?’
Two little people were arguing in his head, and the high priest didn’t know which one to listen to.
In the end, he didn’t listen to either of them.
He adjusted the mask and slowed down his pace. He didn’t run or stop. He just walked.
He had turned off the power of the mask when he ran away. It was not only exhausting to keep it on, but also easy to be discovered by the pursuers.
Snap, it seemed that the branch was stepped on and broken, and the sound came from behind.
The high priest turned back suddenly, and a gray shadow flashed out of the woods.
Damn it!
[Hint: Under mental attack, mental attribute judgment is being made... Mental attribute is higher than 27, the judgment is passed, and you are immune to this mental attack. ]
Marvin flashed out of the woods and saw the enemy in the distance. At the same time, he received a prompt and instantly raised the battle rifle in his hand.
Puff, puff.
The silencing effect of the fixative was very good in the woods, and the accuracy was as good as ever.
Two bullets hit the chest, and two bullets hit the forehead.
"Ah..."
The high priest screamed exaggeratedly and fell to the ground.
There was no splattered blood, and the sound of the bullet entering the flesh was not right. Marvin paused for a moment and pulled the trigger again.
Puff, puff...
"Don't kill..."
Marvin didn't stop, and even turned the rifle's speed selector to full automatic mode.
Such a weird enemy, don't kill it and keep it for the New Year? As for asking for intelligence, I'll talk about it when I encounter problems in the future.
Between other things and safety, his choice has always been safety first.
[Mark Thomas, the high priest of the dark faction of the Mothman cult, has been killed. ]
The kill prompt function is not just a kill prompt. If the enemy is unique enough, it will even bring out the name. This function is good.
The learning machine is getting more and more complicated.
Marvin approached the corpse and frowned.
He clearly remembered that his second short burst shot hit the head, but the enemy was not headshot, and even the mask was intact?
Or is this mask special?
He bent down to take off the corpse's mask and checked it repeatedly. It was indeed not damaged at all.
The mask was very similar to the deer skull, but it was slightly smaller, and the internal structure was also very simple, like a Halloween mask with a hood.
The mask that looked like bone was actually very light, and there was not even a strap at the back. I don't know how this guy named Mark Thomas escaped wearing it.
While thinking, black mist filled the two empty eye sockets of the mask...
"Put it on, put it on, put it on..."
Such a thought suddenly came to Marvin's mind, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what...
The hand holding the mask slowly lifted up...
The mask was getting closer and closer to his face...
"Ding!"
A familiar prompt sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
Marvin was smart and immediately put the mask into the inventory.
[Tip: Under mental attack, mental attribute judgment in progress... Mental attribute is higher than 33 points, judgment is successful. Willpower is being judged... Successfully judged. 】
[Hint: Under mental attack, mental attribute is being judged... Mental attribute is higher than 35 points, successful. Willpower is being judged... Successfully judged. 】
[Hint: Under mental attack, mental attribute is being judged... Mental attribute is higher than 37 points, successful. Willpower is being judged... Successfully judged. 】
[Hint: Under mental attack, mental attribute determination in progress... Mental attribute is less than 39 points, determination is successful. Willpower determination in progress... Determination failed. Under the influence of Bloodwood Bewitching, the influence strength is reduced by 77%, under the influence of Malicious Corrosion, the influence strength is reduced by 69%. Under the influence of Bloodwood Will, the influence strength is reduced by 68%. ]
[Hint: Out of the influence range, determination is over. ]
Marvin let out a long breath, secretly saying that it was a close call, this time it was really close to overturning.
He felt that it took less than a second from blurred consciousness to awakening, and only heard a prompt sound, but it was actually determined 8 times, and the learning machine prompted 4 times.
So, how long had just passed?
He no longer cared about the specifics of the series of attacks with strange names, and what the hell the mask was was not something to consider now.
The body of Mark Thomas must be disposed of immediately.
This face can be applied for World Heritage status, and it is obvious that it is not a serious creature.
The cleanest way to destroy the body is to submit it to the learning machine.
[Prompt: Found a mutant human of the ancient gods, do you want to submit? ]
Ancient gods mutated? ? ? ! ! !
Why would the world of Fallout, a technological apocalypse, involve the ancient gods?
Although he vaguely remembered that there were indeed strange supernatural events in the Fallout game, why would the Mothman cult involve the ancient gods? This is too abstract?
Although his head was full of question marks, Marvin still chose [Yes] without hesitation.
Marvin turned and walked towards the manor. The loot still needs to be collected. No one would complain about too many bottle caps, right?
…
I broke my promise yesterday, and I will update one more chapter today. Thank you, readers.
Complaint:
In other books, a novel mixes historical figures from the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties together, this is OK; in King of Glory, Li Bai's "Jiangjinjiu" is a fucking skill, this is OK.
Why can't I change the game settings and timeline?
What does it mean?
The game script is more advanced than the history book? Can't change it at all?
I'll explain it calmly in the comments, why are you still arguing? !
What's wrong? Did I change the game settings and step on your tail?
You're so hypocritical!
In the future, I will still write the normal settings and instructions clearly, and I will never respond to arguments.
I will also graft the plot of Fallout 3 onto 76 later, so I will change it, just a little bit...
