DSMC Chapter 196.2

The fake Qi Feng hiding in the shadows was so furious that he almost ground his teeth to pieces. Copies would not receive all of the original’s memories, and he knew nothing about this prop’s information. He had even been smug about being a powerful copy. Well, now there were seven more Qi Fengs just as strong as the original on the other side!

Regardless, the sudden appearance of seven Qi Fengs, even if they were merely an illusion, successfully intimidated the copies for a short time.

Qi Feng distributed the items he had obtained to the “Qi Fengs.”

Teacher Qu No. 1: “Tsk, this gun doesn’t look like it suits me.”

Teacher Qu No. 2: “You can give up your weapon and block bullets for us.”

Teacher Qu No. 3 had already pushed Teacher Qu No. 4 in front of himself: “Come on, let’s charge into battle.”

Teacher Qu No. 4 slapped away No. 3: “I have hands and feet of my own. Stay away from me.”

Teacher Qu No. 5 held the grenade in his hand: “Actually, I prefer embroidery needles.”

Teacher Qu No. 6 hugged Xiao Heihei with a satisfied expression, while Teacher Qu No. 7 gave Qi Feng a cold snort before remaining silent.

Qi Feng: “……”

If he hadn’t known in advance that these seven versions of himself were transformed from Teacher Qu from the previous instance, he would have wondered whether he really had so many rich and multifaceted personalities.

These were definitely Teacher Qu split by his mental illness, not his clones.

With the addition of the Teacher Qus, Qi Feng’s journey afterward became much smoother.

The fake Qi Feng’s side was fighting independently and was not united. If he wanted to continue killing Qi Feng, it would consume a lot of bullets, and finding Qi Feng among the eight people was simply too difficult.

The fake Qi Feng could think this way, and the other copies thought the same. They simultaneously stopped attacking, and the player side breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that there were seven more Qi Fengs, although they did not have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, they could at least be said to be evenly matched, and everyone’s confidence increased greatly.

Only Qi Feng knew that all of this was merely a distraction; they were not his copies.

One minute had already passed. Everyone had made it through the first stage, and the NPCs around them that posed a threat had already been taken out by the valiant “protagonist.”

The players who had never entered “City of Sin” did not know that the valiant “protagonist” could not die. He also deliberately did not protect the “protagonist” too much, so as not to expose the fact that Yan Jiyun was helping him from outside.

The previous “protagonist” had moved in a bold and wide-open manner, but this time, the “protagonist” was hiding and sneaking around. Qi Feng guessed that something might have gone wrong on Yan Jiyun’s side as well. If it could make him give up his previous bold, aggressive charge forward, then the only possibility was his health bar. Without enough health, once the “protagonist” died, they would have to return to square one.

Qi Feng said to Teacher Qu No. 3 and No. 4 beside him, “Go quietly and protect that person.”

Teacher Qu No. 3: “He looks like an ordinary young man, and he’s not even one of our kind.”

The others who had just entered the game might not know that was the “protagonist.” Qi Feng said, “He’s the most important person here. We can only leave if he stays alive.”

The players should all know that this was a game, but under these circumstances, there was no way they could spare any attention to protect the “protagonist.”

This was something Qi Feng, who had several clones, could do, and the person Teacher Qu was protecting was also Yan Jiyun, the holder of the item card. There was no conflict between the two.

When Yan Jiyun saw two Qi Fengs appear beside him outside, he understood Qi Feng’s intention. He had received the signal they had sent.

They did not have much time to rest. The second stage was coming soon.

This time, the attack took place on a crowded street.

The copies entered the second scene one after another, and Qi Feng and the others also found cover.

The “protagonist” continued to charge forward valiantly. He could not attack the copies, but there was no guarantee that the copies would not attack him.

However, he and the copies most likely could not attack each other. From the moment he entered the game until now, not a single copy had attacked him.

Yan Jiyun continued controlling the game character, charging toward the second stage.

Qi Feng crouched on the small two-story building where Yan Jiyun had stayed earlier. He was using a sniper rifle. With several Qi Fengs providing cover for him, Qi Feng was now darting all over the field, while the fake Qi Feng’s vision was disrupted. Everyone looked like the real Qi Feng to him. This time, the one being driven crazy by it was him.

“Fuck, how does Qi Feng have a prop like this?” He clearly remembered that he had never obtained any clone-type prop in the game.

“Any ideas?” The person closest to him was Qi Yunchu. “We can’t hit them at all right now.”

“Take out the wandering Qi Feng clones. Kill them one by one; they’re too much of a nuisance.” This was the fake Qi Feng’s idea. “You handle the others.”

“Fine. You handle Qi Feng, and I’ll arrange for the others to handle everyone else,” Qi Yunchu said.

“Speed things up. Those people are all still alive,” the fake Qi Feng ordered.

“I know what to do.” As he spoke, Qi Yunchu moved farther back and hid himself.

The fake Qi Feng thought he had probably gone to communicate with the other copies, so he ignored him and continued focusing his attention on identifying Qi Feng.

Fuck, which one is Qi Feng?!

At this moment, Qi Feng saw Qi Yunchu through his sniper rifle, but he did not shoot him. He saw Qi Yunchu give him a hand signal. It was a gesture they had used when entering instances together a long time ago. The copies’ memories should not be able to trace back two or three years.

In that instant, he understood.

The next second, a copy not far from Qi Yunchu poked its head out from behind the cover. Qi Feng no longer had to worry about being watched the entire time, so he calmly put a bullet through that head!

Good. One down.

Continue.

Qi Yunchu continued wandering around among the copies. After a few seconds, Qi Feng successfully took out three copies.

Su Qiuming, Chu Mo, and the others also began clearing the field. Taking advantage of the copies still being unable to figure out which one was Qi Feng, they used the advantage of having obtained items earlier to eliminate most of the copies!

There were currently only six copies left, one of whom was the fake Qi Feng.

By this time, nearly two minutes had passed.

Yan Jiyun did not continue replenishing his experience card. In one minute, the copy cats would appear, and he needed to gather all the cats back to deal with the newly appearing black cats. He could not control what happened to the other players’ copies, but he had to properly discipline his own copies. He had to make sure they knew who was the boss of this area, lest they run wild.

The second stage of the game ended!

There were five copies remaining. The number of players remained unchanged, but someone had been injured.

The third stage began.

This time, they had to charge not only into the stronghold of “City of Sin,” but also eliminate all the copies. The difficulty was extremely high.

With only one minute left, they could no longer engage in a battle of attrition. They could only charge!

He knew where there was a car. He had Teacher Qu No. 1 go drive it. Although Teacher Qu No. 1 disliked all kinds of equipment that did not suit his identity, he was extremely fierce when fighting the copies for the car. Even when the opponent stabbed him with a dagger, it was useless, because he simply reached out and twisted the copy’s head off.

Chu Mo, who was preparing to hitch a ride, accidentally witnessed this scene. “That’s brutal.”

Wen Ye: “That’s not Qi Feng’s style.”

Chu Mo: “Then whose is it?”

Wen Ye: “Probably a copy.”

Chu Mo: “Doesn’t look like it. It should be an item person.”

Whether it was or not, they had no time to chat now.

Teacher Qu No. 1 had already kicked the copy out of the car. “Just a reminder, I’m going to charge.”

Chu Mo and Wen Ye quickly got into the back seat.

Teacher Qu No. 1 slammed the accelerator all the way down and charged straight toward the stronghold.

There was still a hail of bullets ahead. After the car charged in, he directly smashed through the entrance of the bungalow that Yan Jiyun had come out of earlier.

Yan Jiyun outside: “……”

This crazy Teacher Qu!

The door had been smashed apart. Would Qi Feng and the others still be able to get out?

Yan Jiyun looked at the time remaining on the screen: 45 seconds. The main group running over on foot had not arrived yet.

Teacher Qu No. 1 reversed out of the bungalow. Chu Mo and Wen Ye had actually adapted quite well. They pointed their submachine guns at the NPCs outside and fired in a burst, and they were having quite a good time playing.

Yan Jiyun continued clearing the NPCs around Qi Feng, helping them advance.

With the cooperation between Qi Yunchu and Qi Feng, there was now only the fake Qi Feng left on the copy side!

Just as Qi Yunchu was preparing to continue carrying out his undercover mission, he discovered that the fake Qi Feng had disappeared.

Even if the fake Qi Feng was a fake, he was still a copy of Qi Feng. After analyzing and judging the situation in a short period of time, he knew which one was the real Qi Feng.

He found the real Qi Feng.

At this moment, Qi Feng was hiding behind an iron barrel. The fake Qi Feng attacked him from behind, raising the butt of his gun, which had run out of bullets, and preparing to smash it viciously into Qi Feng’s head!

Yan Jiyun, controlling the “protagonist,” aimed his gun at the fake Qi Feng!

But when the bullet hit him, the fake Qi Feng did not react in the slightest.

At the same time, a nimble black shadow lightly leapt up from the ground and pounced directly onto the fake Qi Feng’s face. Its sharp claws scratched directly at the fake Qi Feng’s eyes!

The fake Qi Feng had a low pain tolerance. He violently shook off the black cat plastered across his face. “Forgot about you, you little beast!”

His gun butt changed direction and aimed at Xiao Heihei, who had landed on the ground—

In the blink of an eye, Qi Feng turned around and immediately aimed at the fake Qi Feng. At point-blank range, he shot him directly in the head, and bright-red blood splattered all over him and Xiao Heihei.

Outside the screen, Yan Jiyun broke into a cold sweat, and his head suddenly began to ache faintly.

Just at that moment, he seemed to be Xiao Heihei. There was even an impression in his mind of claws swinging outward.

Everything had happened too quickly. Could it be that he had been too nervous and imagined it?
