Chapter 355: Merging of Worlds 20

The hidden plot

/*unedited*/

A lone woman in the middle of a beast's nest is crying. She looks really scared from the way she cries. Around her are the traces of wisp from what seems to be her companions in this raid. Although it is just a game, it seems that the woman was scared out of her wits seeing the desperate situation.

As Shin Jiao and Spinks drew closer they can see the battle scene below which looks terrible and devastating.

"This is our mission, right?" Spinks asked as she looks at the 10 Fire Lizards slowly crawling towards the crying woman.

"Yeah, but I guess this team also took this mission but was unlucky to suffer such defeat."

"Then should we help her? I mean… she can be a great addition to our party. She's a healer from the way she dressed." Spinks said with a smile.

"How about I add her… I'm a woman she would agree immediately. Make me the party member." Spinks suggested.

Shin Jiao nonchalantly change the status and gave her authority.

'Authority is given to the player.'

Upon seeing the confirmation the corner of Spinks's mouth secretly curves up.

"Let's fight then!" she shouted as she suddenly dashes forward and attacks one of the closest Fire Lizards.

Shriek!!!

The Fire Lizard cried as its body was pierced by a black spear which Spinks threw. As it died, Spinks change her target.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao also attacked a Fire Lizard and in a blink killed it with ease.

Feeling the surprise attack from an unknown enemy the Fire Lizards turn their attention towards the two people behind them. Using their deadly fire breath, they began spewing fire all over the place.

Shin Jiao suddenly saw a confirmation that a player has joined their party. But he didn't mind it as he continuously attacks the enemy in front of him. The most important thing for him right now is to kill as much Fire Lizard as possible. This is because of the additional secret reward they can get if they are able to kill more than what the mission requires which are 30 Fire Lizards.

As the two fights, Shin Jiao suddenly felt his body invigorated and light.

"It seems the woman is already working in tandem with us." Shin Jiao thought as he rushes towards his next target.

Suddenly a notification caught his attention.

'Poison ineffective.'

'Poison ineffective.'

'You have been paralyzed.'

Shin Jiao suddenly felt his body becoming a bit stiff and slow. But he was still able to dodge the attacks from the Fire Lizard.

Then he saw the two women nodding their heads.

A long black mana spear suddenly appears in Spinks' hand.

"Hey, Shin! Thank you for the party and sorry for this..." she shouted as a grinning smile can be seen on her face.

At first, Shin Jiao thought that she looks pretty and cute, but seeing that grin he thought that he is looking at a snake.

Suddenly the woman pauses as she didn't expect to see something on her screen.

"Shit! What is this? I… I can't kick you out! What… What did you do?" she shouted in panic.

But then, when she saw the smirk on Shin Jiao's face, she immediately realized something. She quickly checked the status of the party and found that she made a crucial mistake. She was not the party leader but was only authorized to accept people in the party.

She was too excited that she didn't check this crucial point.

However, before she knew it a notification suddenly appears.

'Party disbanded'

'Quest canceled… Warning! You are in quest area…'

'No quest request found…'

When she saw those notifications, Spinks immediately realized that it was all a trap. The guy they were supposed to ambush and trap reversed the situation on them.

"Shit! We have to esca…" she shouted but stopped upon seeing the large Fire Lizard's jagged sharp teeth chomping down on her supposed accomplice.

Eeaarrgghh…

Cried the girl as she turned in to a wisp.

When Spinks turns her gaze towards Shin Jiao's position, he is already gone.

"Where? Where did he go?" she muttered as she turns her gaze around.

However, her attention has caught a bigger problem. The Fire Lizards have already surrounded her.

"You m*ther f*king *sshole! The Man Hunter Guild with gets you for this! This enmity will not end!" she cried as she tried to run.

But she wasn't able to escape as the Fire Lizards are 4 times her level.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao watches from the tree top as the woman was devoured by a Fire Lizard and turn into a wisp.

"Haha… I guess those guys wanted to take their revenge on me… It's alright if they come I'll just dispose of them. But I can't do anything for normal players though."

Shin Jiao returns to town, took the quest again, but decided to log out in an inn.

Opening his eyes he saw that it is already 4 a.m. in the morning. As he lied on the sofa, he decided to think of what he wanted in his life. Either he would start a new life and just enjoy his current circumstance, or try to remember his past. If he would remember his complicated past, his current life would surely be disturbed.

But if he starts a new life…

The beautiful face of Susan Tang immediately appears on his mind. Her sweet smile and gentle gestures have always given him a calm feeling of belongingness. But then there is that inner feeling in his heart that she truly resembles someone from his past just like Shi Anne Li.

But the contrast between these feelings is like fire and ice. Susan Tang gives him the feelings of happiness and tranquility, while Shi Anne Li gives him happiness too, but there is the complication of pain, longing, and sadness.

"This is giving me a headache…" Shin Jiao thought.

While thinking, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his senses. He perks up his ears and tried to listen to his surroundings.

"Shin… you're crazy… stop that. Hihihi���" Shi Anne Li muttered while sleeping with a big and contented smile on her face.

"You… you bastard… Do you think you can escape me?... I… *mumble *mumble…" Susan Tang muttered while her forehead is in a crest.

"What are those girls dreaming?" Shin Jiao thought.

Then he explored the surroundings while listening to the sounds. Suddenly he picks up something from the streets.

"Alpha 1, this is Delta… We identify three people in the target area. Waiting for command." A man said in English.

"Go in and capture the targets, remember, no casualties. We need those three alive." An old man's voice on the hand radio replied.

Shin Jiao was alarmed.

"It seems that the Americans won't stand in waiting anymore…" Shin Jiao thought but suddenly stopped as he picks up another sound.

"Comrade… We will push this operation to the Americans. They would think that those guys in the CIA did this. Hehe…" a man in a deep Russian voice said.

"Haha… If we capture the CEO and those two we can unlock the secret of the virtual world. I hope that the plans we made for these whole time would not fail." Another voice said besides the man.

When Shin Jiao heard this a smile appears on his face.

He knew the conflict between his country and America if his country discovered this trap and fell for it. It would cause a greater conflict to follow.

Shin Jiao didn't want this to happen, so he must stop this accident and get to the bottom of the mess.

He activated another array on the area which is the camouflage array, and then he quickly ran towards Susan Tang's room.

He gently shook her body…

"Hey, wake up!" he said in a low voice.

Susan Tang slowly opens her eyes and when Shin Jiao saw her innocent and beautiful looking face, he was stunned for a bit.

"We… we need to go. There are people coming." He said.

When she heard his words she was a bit taken aback. They just discovered that the old condominium was ransacked and now they are being attacked.

Panic can be seen on Susan Tang's face.

She didn't even change as she just got down from the bed and follow Shin Jiao who is walking towards Shi Anne Li's room.

Shin Jiao felt the presence of Susan Tang and when he turns around he saw her wearing her nighties. Her deep cleavage and perky twin peaks are exposed in his eyes. This almost made him unconsciously swallow hard his saliva.

When she noticed Shin Jiao's gaze, Susan Tang slowly looks down and realize what she is wearing and subconsciously covers her body.

"Pervert!" she suddenly scolded.

Seeing her reaction, Shin Jiao raised his brow.

"You are saying that I am your man… Now that I see you as a woman, you're saying that I am a pervert?" he said with a helpless expression.

Susan Tang was taken aback and felt her face turn red. She realized that although she likes Shin Jiao, she is not ready to be more intimate with him yet.

"I… I…" she stammered.

"I'm just joking… Get dressed. I'll wake Shi Anne Li." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Susan Tang just nodded her head and went back to her room.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, enters Shi Anne Li's room and found her sprawl all over the bed. Her sexy body and white skin are exposed to the world to see.

Shin Jiao was once again taken aback.

"Sigh, It's either I'm the luckiest guy in the world or the guy with the worst trouble." He thought as he walks to the side and slowly wakes Shi Anne Li.

Suddenly, one of Shi Anne Li's hugs Shin Jiao as she mutters.

"Come back okay? I needed you… I… I love you." she said under her sleep.

Shin Jiao was taken aback at this and then saw the figure of Susan Tang on the door. He can see the jealousy in her eyes upon seeing the intimate scene.

Susan Tang bits her lips and suddenly turns around. She didn't want to see this scene and wanted to run.

But then before she can getaway…

Bang!!!
