381 Hoffman, Conqueror of the World
The gunfire on the floor stopped, and the hall on the first floor of the office building was still filled with choking smoke. Marcus put down the assault rifle in his hand and joined his comrades with wide eyes as they watched the unbelievable scene.
The man who came down the stairs was already standing firmly in the hall at this time, the floor around him had long been soaked with blood, and the corpses of the "pig-headed man" were poured all over the place.
The man was dressed in a flowing white robe with a scarlet cross sewn on the shoulder. It had a rough sack-like thing over its head, revealing only a pair of brown eyes.
His bizarre attire wasn't the point, and to the consternation of the Cobra Squad, the rain of bullets they had just fired, enough to wipe out any creature, missed the man's body without causing the slightest damage to the guy.
"This guy ......"
Marcus fired another short shot, three bullets that flew into the opponent's chest, but it seemed to hit an invisible wall of air, about ten centimeters in front of the guy's body...... Stopped.
This guy wears a hood and has just declared himself to be Mark. Hoffman's strange man looked down at the corpse beside him, and then said slowly:
"I said, why can't we be friends?"
“……”
Maria, the Lady of Killing, rushed forward in her wheelchair, pulled out the tiger-toothed fighting saber inserted in the armrest of the wheelchair, and swung it at Hoffman's throat with a crisp and sharp slash!
"Wait, it's too dangerous!"
Before Marcus finished speaking, he saw the woman with boiling killing intent, as if she had been hit by a transparent punch, and flew out ten meters away with a wheelchair, slammed into the wall, and fainted without saying a word.
"Hell......" Marcus cursed in a low voice.
It was the first time that the battle-hardened members of the "Cobra" had seen such an invulnerable enemy. In their opinion, Hoffman's terrifying ability can only be explained by special functions.
Marcus strode up to the unconscious "Lady Killing", carrying the woman's only half of her body on her shoulder, and then suddenly threw a flashbang and tried to turn around and flee with several of her comrades.
Then the death-knell roar sounded again:
Boom!
Like a ghost, Hoffman suddenly appeared at the entrance to the hall, blocking the way of the Cobra Squad members, and a muffled voice came from under the hood:
"So, why do you keep struggling? Why don't you join us and create a 'new world' with me? ”
"You're crazy." Marcus frowned and stared at the invulnerable murderer in front of him.
Hoffman, who had a sack on his head, didn't mean to get out of the way, just opened his arms and made a gesture similar to that of a cult priest, and his voice sounded very demagogic:
"Instead of living in the emptiness of a madman, why don't you join Crawford Industries, you're all murderous madmen, aren't you? I can show you what the real 'battlefield' looks like. ”
- What is this thing talking about?
Marcus was completely incomprehensible and did not want to understand Hoffman's remarks about a suspected psychotic episode. He now only wants to leave this place with his comrades, but soon realizes that he can't even "leave".
Lin Chi, who was on the third floor, opened the window at the end of the corridor and leaned his upper body out of the window, and then it was as if he had hit an invisible wall, and there was a dull pain on the bridge of his nose.
"What's going on?"
Lin Chi stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the wall of cold air, no matter how hard he tried, the thing didn't move a bit.
Could it be that the game has a bug again?
Thinking of this, Lin Chi tried a few more windows next to him, but found that the invisible wall seemed to block the entire building, and no matter how much he tried, he couldn't jump out of the window.
Could it be......
Lin Chi immediately realized that the building might have been sealed off by Hoffman, who was a "barbarian". In this way, this person's combat effectiveness may have reached the same level as that of a member of the rebels.
Seeing that he couldn't leave for a while, Lin Chi looked down at his backpack, then opened the game menu, and kept his finger just above the option button of "Contact Administrator".
- Do you want to summon the "Executive" to take out this bastard?
No matter how strong Hoffman is, he should not be able to block the attack of the executive. However, this guy may have some information related to the inside story of this game world, and if you kill him directly, that information will have to "go with the wind".
Lin Chi thought for a moment, then waved his hand to close the game menu, and then walked down the stairs lightly, continuing to "eavesdrop" on the conversation in the hall on the first floor.
He had barely reached the second floor when he heard Hoffman's voice again:
"Do you really plan to spend your life in this place? Or do you want to become a slave to outsiders and be used as cannon fodder to die everywhere? ”
"I don't understand what you mean." Marcus let go of the "Lady of the Killing", who was still unconscious, and then drew his saber to block his chest. Even though he knew that the saber had no effect on this guy at all, it still slightly increased his sense of security.
In the face of such an unusually strange opponent, the members of the Cobra squad were also helpless, and when one of the members was unconscious, their combat effectiveness was weakened again.
Marcus could see that with the ability of this weirdo, he could kill his team in an instant. But oddly enough, Hoffman didn't do that, just continued to utter some incomprehensible words:
"I've traveled hundreds of worlds, and they're just projections of nothingness. Thank you for getting rid of the mess in the company, they didn't inherit my will, they were just stupid ragnares......"
"If you are willing to join me, I can give you incredible power, just like me. For me...... All things are false, and all things are allowed. ”
"Is that a phrase misplaced?" Lin Chi, who was hiding on the second floor, complained silently.
Unlike Lin Chi, who was hiding upstairs, Marcus naturally had no interest in at this time, but coldly rejected the other party's invitation: "We have no intention of betraying the 'War Observer'. ”
"War watcher, hehe......"
Speaking of the name, Hoffman laughed contemptuously: "The war observer is nothing more than a fool, he wasted his strength. I am willing to be at the mercy of this world, and I am different, I can let you see the real 'world'! ”
As soon as the words ended, there was another loud bang, and the whole building shook violently again.
There was some heavy air around him, and suddenly it changed back to its original state. Sensing that the situation in the building had changed, Lin Chi poked his head out of the staircase and looked at the lobby on the first floor.
What caught my eye was a hall full of corpses, and the few people who spoke just now seemed to have evaporated from the world, and all disappeared without a trace.
