chapter 99: death! mo jin noticed liu xing's gaze directed at him and spoke with a menacing tone, "you have three seconds to divert these villagers' attention, or i'll start shooting!" liu xing understood that mo jin meant business. without hesitation, he reached into his pocket and swallowed the potent painkiller shi ying had given him, ensuring at least a painless death. with resolve, liu xing rushed towards the ancestral hall—or more precisely, towards the rear of the ancestral hall. after all, he hadn't forgotten that tang zilin had mentioned the remaining pages of the "mysteries of lord xuan, seven chapters" had been thrown behind the ancestral hall by the village chief. since he was on the brink of death, he decided to take one last gamble. if he could find those pages of the "mysteries of lord xuan, seven chapters," it would make his journey worthwhile. as liu xing sprinted toward the rear of the ancestral hall, he heard a gunshot behind him, and then it felt like time stood still. liu xing understood that mo jin had fired at shi ying. "ok, since player mo jin is ambushing player shi ying, shi ying cannot attempt to evade. let's proceed with player mo jin's handgun shot determination. because mo jin has chosen to target shi ying's body, the shot determination won't be affected," kp snail said with a cheerful tone. in the cthulhu rpg game, shooting determination was relatively complex, influenced by various factors like whether the shooter aimed (aiming required one action round and increased the chance of a successful shot), whether the target was in cover, the shooter's choice of the target area (targeting vital areas reduced accuracy but increased damage), shooting distance, and more. however, this time, mo jin didn't intend to kill shi ying directly. he wanted to injure him to attract the attention of the villagers. so, mo jin chose the most secure option: a direct shot at shi ying's body. mo jin, 13/60, success! kp snail smiled again and continued, "player mo jin has successfully hit player shi ying in the abdomen. now, let's determine the damage. since player mo jin used a low-quality handgun, the damage is 1d6." shi ying suffered 1d6=2 damage! "oh, it seems player shi ying got lucky; he only lost 2 hp. however, due to the abdominal injury, player shi ying's agility will temporarily decrease by two-thirds. now, we will enter the combat round with the five villagers. but, let's face it, player shi ying, you are currently defenseless. entering the combat round would be meaningless. so, as a kind-hearted gm, i allow you to automatically use that potent painkiller, skip the combat round, and have player shi ying die instantly. how does that sound?" kp snail said cheerfully. successfully shaking off tang zilin's father, liu xing retrieved the "mysteries of lord xuan, seven chapters" remaining page from tang zilin's hand. but just then, liu xing felt the ground violently shaking—earth-boring demon worm had emerged! "haha, earth-boring demon worm devoured shi ying's body, unlocking half of its seal. it's now officially pursuing player mo jin and will attack him every ten minutes. villagers under the control of the earth-boring demon worm will chase after player liu xing," kp snail said joyfully. as soon as kp snail finished speaking, liu xing saw the villagers wielding "weapons" charging toward him, led by one villager. yes, as the seal was once again partially broken, the earth-boring demon worm's abilities had been enhanced, and the villagers under its control had also been strengthened. they had finally learned to run. fearing nothing, liu xing made a decisive choice and contacted kp snail, saying, "kp, there's no way for me to escape now. i've already taken the potent painkiller. just declare me dead; i don't want to go through combat rounds." "alright, let's do it that way. player liu xing is officially deceased," kp snail responded nonchalantly. with that, liu xing only felt his vision go black. when his sight returned, he found himself seated at a table with xue ba, tang tai, and shi ying. the table was adorned with various tea and pastries. in front of xue ba and tang tai, there were already plenty of empty melon seed shells. "you've finally arrived, liu xing! i was just chatting with tang tai and the others, telling them you'd be here any moment. didn't expect you to hold out for this long," shi ying said with a smile.
