Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!-Chapter 85: Trapped in the Illusion, Attack in Reality
Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Trapped in the Illusion, Attack in Reality
The prompt message flickered, and Johnnie immediately had a bad feeling.
It was impossible to log out from here.
He seemed to be completely trapped in this illusion.
In his previous life, there had been a similar space before. There was a player who was trapped in a special secret zone, and only when the game and reality merged after more than ten years did he finally escape.
He still had many important things to handle, and he absolutely couldn’t be stuck in this space for long.
Johnnie opened his friend list, trying to contact Crysic and the other girls.
But all of them were grayed out, including Finn and Dylan.
It was still early, and these people couldn’t all be offline.
Especially Dylan and Joseph, who were almost always in the game.
"This space’s rules are different from the game world’s!" Johnnie frowned. He was not only trapped inside, but he had also completely lost contact with the outside world.
"Damn it, I’ll see how many illusions you have here!" He coldly said, and with a thought, the Seven Sword appeared, splitting into seven, and he controlled five of them to start slaughtering.
The surrounding classmates screamed in terror and turned into white light, disappearing.
"Help! He’s killing people!"
"It’s Johnnie, he’s gone crazy! Call the police!"
...
The screams echoed, and everyone ran in panic. Everything before their eyes was extremely real.
Johnnie, however, showed no emotion at all. He knew everything here was fake ,just an illusion.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the entire campus was wiped out.
"Hey,the level of The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords increased!" Johnnie was surprised, but the properties of the Seven Sword didn’t change, which meant that these lives here were definitely not real.
The Seven Sword only advanced when it killed real lives.
So maybe it was possible to level up skills here!
Zhang!
At that moment, the spatial energy fluctuated, and the surrounding scenery changed again. The campus disappeared, and he found himself in a villa.
Crysic was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Johnnie log out, she was surprised and walked over to greet him, saying, "Johnnie, why did you log out so early today? Wait a bit, dinner is almost ready."
Johnnie looked at Crysic, who was smiling on her face, and the flying sword fell. He knew it wasn’t real, but for a moment, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Crysic was the one he was closest to.
"Crysic, where are the others?" Johnnie asked.
"What others?" Crysic was confused and said, "Isn’t it just the two of us here?"
She leaned affectionately into Johnnie’s arms, looking at him with love and said, "Johnnie, can you stop worrying about other things in the future? Let’s just be together, grow old together, and live a quiet and peaceful life, okay?"
Johnnie looked at the gentle woman in his arms, sighed softly, and said, "Of course I can. But you’re not Crysic."
He forced himself, and the flying sword pierced through Crysic’s heart.
"Uh..."
Crysic widened her eyes in disbelief, fell into Johnnie’s arms, and struggled to say, "Johnnie, w-why?"
Johnnie frowned. He wanted to push the woman in his arms away, but for a moment, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Crysic had a pained smile on her face, and she said weakly, "It’s okay, Johnnie. I don’t blame you."
"Ah." Johnnie sighed. He had still underestimated this illusion.
That Eddie guy might be right. Even if he knew everything was fake, he might still fall into it, because this was his deepest desire.
But he had more important things to do , that was to stop the invasion of the alien race, to protect Earth and the people around him.
Johnnie took a deep breath, pushing away these messy thoughts,and looked at the swirling mist around him. He coldly said, "Eddie, is that all you’ve got? Show me whatever illusions you have. Bring them on."
Zhang...
The scene changed again. Lina, Holly, Cecilia, and a few other girls appeared one by one. Even Tyrande in a ghostly form appeared once.
Johnnie sneered. These were indeed his deepest desires.
But he clearly knew they were all fake, and he wouldn’t fall into them.
The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords was used. As soon as the figures appeared, he ruthlessly cut them down.
The surrounding scenery kept changing. There were childhood memories he had long forgotten, and the final battle where he fought against the alien race...
Johnnie experienced all kinds of emotions , parting, death, love, hatred, life, and death...
Even those moments of near-death, which had once driven him to the edge of his mind, kept reappearing, tormenting his soul.
But luckily, he had a strong will, and he had truly died once before. This kind of mental torment was nothing to him.
...
In the real world, it was already night time.
Crysic had prepared dinner. She logged into the game, ready to call Johnnie offline for dinner.
But the friend list showed he wasn’t online.
"Huh, when did Johnnie log out?" Crysic was confused. She disconnected, and knocked on Johnnie’s door. "Johnnie, dinner is ready."
There was no response inside the room.
"What’s going on?" Crysic frowned. A bad feeling came over her.
She quickly pushed open the door and saw Johnnie lying in bed, still in a deep sleep , the state of being logged in.
But she had just checked, and Johnnie wasn’t online.
"Johnnie?" Crysic hurried to the bed and gently shook Johnnie.
Even in the game, if someone was disturbed in the real world, they would get a prompt and log out immediately.
But Johnnie showed no response at all, still in a deep sleep.
"Lina, come quickly." Crysic was a bit panicked.
Lina, Holly, and Cecilia entered the room.
"Crysic, what’s wrong?" Lina looked a bit tired. She hadn’t logged into the game today , she had been making The Elixir of Immortality all day.
Crysic quickly said, "Check out what’s wrong with Johnnie. Why isn’t he waking up?"
"Can’t wake up?" Lina approached and looked, frowning. "Is he still in the game?"
"I’ll log in and check." Cecilia took out the login crystal and immediately entered the game.
Crysic was restless. Maybe she had just missed Johnnie when she logged in.
A short while later, Cecilia disconnected from the game and woke up.
"How is he?" Crysic immediately asked, and Lina and Holly were also watching her anxiously.
Cecilia’s face looked a bit pale, and she shook her head. "Johnnie isn’t online. I asked my brother, and he said he left Johnnie an hour ago, and there was no sign of anything wrong. After that, Johnnie seemed to have entered the Novice Village No. 177."
"Novice Village No. 177?" The girls frowned. They had all heard about the news that the seal on the Novice Village No. 177 had disappeared.
Johnnie must have had something happen to him in the Novice Village No. 177.
"I’ll log in and check." Crysic said worriedly, and took out the login crystal to go into the game.
"Crysic, wait." Lina quickly stopped her, and said, "Johnnie is just unconscious right now, and he’s not in danger. The real danger isn’t in the game , it’s in the real world!"
"Real world?" Crysic was stunned, and then realized. "Holly, go call your father and the others."
"Okay!" Holly also realized how serious it was, and immediately went to find Joseph and the others.
The military had just left the area around the villa, and now Johnnie had gotten into trouble.
If the Apocalypse Group came in now, it could be dangerous.
Crysic pulled out her phone, wanting to call the police, but after a moment of hesitation, she put it away.
Johnnie and the girls had a lot of secrets. She didn’t want to involve the authorities.
...
"What happened?" Joseph and the others arrived immediately and asked.
Crysic said, "Johnnie is trapped in the game. I’m worried something might happen in the real world."
Joseph frowned. He already knew how special this game was.
"Luke, take charge of the perimeter." He looked at Luke and ordered.
"Yes. Come with me." Luke immediately took the team and started patrolling around the villa.
Crysic felt a bit relieved now. Joseph and the others were all retired soldiers, experienced in real combat. With them protecting, it should be safe.
But Lina looked serious. She knew how powerful the Apocalypse Group was, especially those cyborgs. Ordinary soldiers couldn’t handle them.
"I’ll give Johnnie some nutritional injections to make sure his body stays fine in the real world." She pulled out a syringe and injected it into Johnnie’s body.
They couldn’t interfere with what was happening in the game. They could only rely on Johnnie to get out on his own.
Dak dak...
Suddenly, gunshots echoed from outside.
"Shit!" Joseph shouted and immediately left the villa.
It really was enemies, and they had guns.
They were retired soldiers, but they didn’t have any weapons. Fighting with their bare hands would be hard.
"Crysic, I’m going to the rooftop." Cecilia quickly took out a long sword and ran toward the rooftop.
"I’m going with you. Crysic, you stay here." Lina and Holly also followed quickly.
They had already taken The Elixir of Immortality, and had gained an Innate Physique. They had become martial arts disciples, and their strength was actually stronger than Joseph and the others.
"You guys can rest easy. I’ll take care of this." Crysic said, her expression cold, and took out a long sword as well.
These weapons were all made by Johnnie through someone else. They were easy for them to use.
The girls reached the rooftop.
Dak dak...
Gunfire echoed, and flashes of fire lit up the area around the villa. Joseph and the others were completely suppressed and couldn’t fight back, and some of them were already injured.
In the dark, a few figures moved toward the villa.
"Cyborgs!" Lina’s expression turned serious. She was right , the Apocalypse Group had indeed sent cyborgs.
The gunfire echoed. A man rushed out and tried to block the cyborgs, but was immediately hit by bullets and fell into a pool of blood.
Joseph and the others wanted to rescue him, but they were pinned down by the firepower and couldn’t move.
"Uncle Sam!" Holly recognized the man and grabbed her sword, ready to run out.
"Don’t be reckless!" Cecilia quickly stopped her and said, "Lina, Holly, do you remember the combat techniques I taught you?"
"Yes!" The two girls nodded, their expressions a bit excited.
Cecilia continued, "I’ll try to hold them off. You two go around to the back and take them down."
She was already a second-rate warrior, and with Lina and Holly, who were third-rate warriors, if they worked together well, they could take down these people.
