Playing the Foolish Beauty in a Deadly Game - Chapter 64

No one knew what the Fraudster’s attack skill was, only that he could change his appearance, voice, gender, and age, disguising himself as any form.

For players, such a skill was considered low-level.

After exiting the scenario, everyone would forget each other, so changing one’s looks was really unnecessary.

The disguise skill had no real attack power, and in horror games, most NPCs wouldn’t give preferential treatment based on a player’s beauty, gender, or age.

However, Nelson had taken this skill to an incredible level. He could obtain a completely new appearance in each scenario.

If that was all, it wouldn’t be “incredible.” What truly amazed people was that Nelson could take on the form of “ghosts.”

So, the Fraudster’s attack skill was: to transform into the physique of a “non-human NPC” from previously experienced scenarios and possess some of their abilities.

When the Church-released evil spirits rushed towards Nelson, he used his skill. His eyes turned red, his skin became paler, a pair of sharp fangs protruded from his lips, his eyes had a blue tinge, and a sharp horn grew on his forehead.

The black color was interspersed with silver patterns, his hair grew longer and flew about, and strange patterns flowed over the skin exposed on his body.

Nelson transformed into a creature that was both vampire-like and demon-like, perfectly matching his Victorian-era attire.

Lin Qiao, in the car, saw the evil spirits entangled with Nelson. Nelson’s red eyes were like flames, and when a ghost got close, they would ignite. But Nelson was afraid of burning his clothes, so he couldn’t fight freely.

Even so, he was more than capable of dealing with the evil spirits.

Lin Qiao guessed that Nelson’s skill must have a time limit. He couldn’t arbitrarily disrupt the balance of the script, and the game wouldn’t allow it either.

As for Lin Qiao’s side, the evil spirits attracted by the high likes value were no match for Yatagarasu and the enforcement team working together.

The Doberman, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, “Should we take the opportunity to leave?”

The Lin Qiao in the car was a prop decoy, with a duration of only 18 hours.

Once the time was up, it would disappear. In Lin Qiao’s original plan, even if he was imprisoned, it didn’t matter, as long as the real body was in a safe place.

The Doberman, who had been deceived by this detestable human, would not be punished severely by the Church, according to the Doberman himself. At worst, he would be reprimanded and demoted.

Now that the Doberman proposed the idea of leaving, did it mean there was another plan? The Doberman continued to explain, “The Meow Meow Church has not shown up yet. They seem to be at odds with the Woof Woof Church, but they have common interests.”

Lin Qiao blinked and suddenly understood what the Doberman meant. The white cat’s body was not safe with the black cat either. After all, the Church people were not fools.

Once they discovered Lin Qiao’s disappearance, they would definitely look for clues from both the Doberman and the black cat.

Lin Qiao looked at Nelson outside the car. If his decoy followed Nelson and then disappeared, the Church would think it was Nelson’s doing. What a clever move to divert suspicion! He didn’t expect the Doberman to be such a scheming dog.

If the Doberman and the black cat were NPCs from other scenarios, Lin Qiao wouldn’t easily trust them to have his best interests at heart. Now he trusted the two pets largely because they looked exactly like Yan Ting.

Lin Qiao said, “But you can’t take me away, and you must pretend to stop me.”

Only Lin Qiao and the Doberman were left in the car, and their conversation wouldn’t be overheard by others: “If I’m imprisoned and then disappear, it means I used the decoy to deceive you.”

“If you help me escape, then you really become an accomplice.”

“I can’t risk you. You have to listen to me on this.”

The Doberman was silent for a few seconds, then smiled gently and said, “Okay.”

So Lin Qiao got out of the car. As soon as he stepped out, he attracted the attention of the evil spirits.

The enforcement team was puzzled why 08 would let Lin Qiao out. When they looked into the car door, they saw the Doberman fighting with a dark shadow.

Lin Qiao ran towards Yatagarasu in a panic: “Evil spirits! There are evil spirits in the car too! Little Snake, save me!”

Yatagarasu didn’t care about the Doberman’s fate in the car. He immediately took Lin Qiao to a safe place, the top of a high-rise building.

Lin Qiao took the opportunity to whisper, “Hand me over to Nelson.”

Yatagarasu, feeling the breath of Lin Qiao on his cheek, frowned and said, “Why do you still want to go to him? Do you still like him?”

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the Church and Nelson. Lin Qiao had to be brief: “This body is a prop. You can take me away if you want.”

It would be fine if Yatagarasu took him away, but Lin Qiao didn’t want the NPCs to collectively target Yatagarasu.

“If you don’t want to, I can use my upgraded prop to take me away.”

However, he was afraid that Nelson, who might come back, would be on guard and thus see through the plan.

Lin Qiao wrinkled his little nose, hoping Yatagarasu would make a quick decision.

The other party still frowned, but finally accepted the plan to “trick Nelson.”

He took Lin Qiao and rushed towards Nelson, but instead of handing Lin Qiao over, he flipped Nelson off with a contemptuous smile and quickly moved away with Lin Qiao in his arms.

The Woof Woof Church representative had an even stronger reaction than Nelson. She shouted furiously for the enforcement team to chase after them and catch Lin Qiao at all costs.

Yatagarasu had some ability to move quickly, but holding Lin Qiao slowed him down. The enforcement team’s dogs were not ordinary either.

For a while, Yatagarasu really couldn’t shake them off. After Doberman 08 broke free from the dark shadow, he also joined the chase.

This left the Woof Woof Church representative, who originally wanted to cause trouble, speechless. She suspected that 08 had deliberately let Lin Qiao go, but seeing 08’s enthusiastic attitude in catching people, she couldn’t get angry.

However, the Woof Woof Church representative, with her hundreds of cunning ideas, did not give 08 command authority and even had other teammates keep an eye on 08.

“If his punishment hadn’t been decided yet, I would have demoted him long ago and wouldn’t have allowed him to participate in any plans related to Lin Qiao,” the Woof Woof Church representative was very troubled but helpless.

Nelson, who was originally targeting Lin Qiao, naturally followed when Lin Qiao changed locations.

The human representative should be the happiest at the moment. His goal was achieved, which was to hand over Lin Qiao in exchange for peace.

Yatagarasu’s speed was obviously not as fast as Nelson’s. Before he could take Lin Qiao out of danger, he was blocked by Nelson.

The surrounding humans had heard of the chase and had received urgent notifications on their phones. They wouldn’t be so careless as to leave.

Yatagarasu held Lin Qiao tighter: “What are you doing here? Still trying to deceive people?”

Nelson still maintained his “ghost” appearance but tidied his hair and hat with reserve: “I’ve come to see Lin Qiao. I have something to tell him.”

Yatagarasu immediately covered Lin Qiao’s ears: “No, no, no. You can’t listen to a word he says. Who knows what he’s up to? Get lost and don’t delay our escape.”

Nelson’s body stiffened from the scolding, and his voice became strange, as if hoarse and unable to control his emotions, with a feeling of having a thousand words but unable to speak: “At least let me help you get rid of the pursuers behind you.”

“Alright, you said it,” Yatagarasu continued to take Lin Qiao further away, while Nelson blocked the first Doberman who arrived.

He raised his smiling face and greeted, “We meet again. Chasing like this isn’t a solution. Let me guess, you’re the one who let Lin Qiao go, right?”

When Nelson said this, his tone was full of sourness, and his eyes were filled with jealousy: “What a good dog.”

“Sleeping on the same bed with him every day, able to smell his scent.”

“When he’s in your arms, isn’t he very cuddly? Have you kissed him?”

The Doberman remained silent. Nelson sneered and grinned, “Ha, you’re really great. You can betray your own kind for Lin Qiao. Let me guess.”

“You must have chased over here on purpose to delay your companions. They’ll be here soon. Your Woof Woof Church representative isn’t that easy to fool. Since you’ve exposed yourself, why not go big?”

“I have a prop here that can create a very terrifying explosive power. Can you blow up the dogs chasing you for Lin Qiao?”

Nelson’s dark, crazy, and jealous gaze was eager to tear off the Doberman’s facade, forcing him to choose between his own kind and Lin Qiao. This was just to satisfy Nelson’s own unwillingness. He didn’t believe the Doberman would make such a great sacrifice for Lin Qiao.

Or perhaps if the Doberman really did this, his image in Lin Qiao’s heart would plummet.

This was actually a bandit’s logic, forcibly pulling the Doberman into Nelson’s setup. But the problem was, why would the Doberman do this? There was no need to kill his own kind to show how much he valued Lin Qiao.

It was like a girl saying she liked intelligent guys, and immediately someone with a foul smell would add other conditions and ask, “Would you like a smart but ugly man? How about a smart but poor one?”

They were eager to add these conditions, aiming to make the girl deny her statement of “liking intelligent guys” and admit that she only liked “handsome” ones and was a gold-digger. But in reality, there was no necessary connection between the two.

The girl just wanted to express that she liked intelligent men, but she didn’t say that intelligence was the decisive factor.

Does intelligence mean one can’t be handsome or wealthy? Does being ugly and poor necessarily mean one is intelligent?

Nelson had already exchanged the prop, but this time he had kicked a steel plate.

The Doberman spoke: “I am Lin Qiao’s good dog, and he likes me very much.”

“I do sleep with him every day, kissing him, smelling his scent, and licking his tears when he cries.”

“He is very soft and fragrant when held, and kissing him is really… tsk, irresistible.”

“I want him to stay in this world with me and become my partner.”

“Even though I do this to him, trapping him in the game, Qiao Qiao still cares for me, holding me and calling me a good dog. What can you do about it? Envious?”
