The wind outside the building was very strong and whistled as it blew Xiao Lan’s clothes about.

Hundreds of meters below him, the CBD’s heavy traffic had become thin ribbons of light, as if this place was already isolated from the clamour of the human world. KENdF1

This building’s external wall was glass, and there was still a long distance up to the edge of the roof. Moreover, the glass was maintained regularly, and it felt very smooth to the touch with no place for a grip.

Xiao Lan took out 【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zhi —” The dagger sank into the glass with a sharp, ear-piercing scraping sound.

Don’t presume it was just a fruit knife; as a dagger produced by the Advent World, not only could it pierce the external glass wall, it could even support the weight of an adult man without any problem at all. 5 6U1R

With the help of the dagger, Xiao Lan climbed up the glossy and vertical glass wall.

The player on the rooftop was still live streaming with his phone in one hand, a sinister smile on his face as he played with the knife in his other hand. The dazzling blade spun on his fingertips.

Suddenly, that person’s hand paused and his bloodshot and malevolent eyes turned to the two children. He gave them a malicious smile, like a devil from a story. “Good babies, are you scared?”

The little girl was no more than four or five years old, and being frightened like this caused the rims of her eyes to redden as her tears began to flow. Seeing this, her older brother, who looked to be six- or seven-years-old, immediately shielded the girl and tried to put on a fierce appearance. “Don’t, don’t come here!”

Xwi67l

Seeing this, that person simply smiled, baring a row of white teeth. “Ohoho, what a fierce little puppy.”

The boy tried his best to threaten him. “My dad is very amazing! You definitely can’t beat him!”

Faced with this weak threat, that person sneered uncaringly, then casually tossed the phone aside and walked towards them with his knife raised.

He could already hear the sirens getting increasingly clearer. If he delayed any longer, he would fail in what he wanted to do. The Advent World didn’t give him a way to survive, so why were these little brats still able to jump and hop about on the streets? He should let them know what was called the cruelty of reality. V9pYBq

That person stared with bloodshot eyes at the two children who obviously lived a very blessed life, his face filled with the thrill of revenge.

He clenched the knife in his hand tightly. This was just a normal knife which he had bought at a store; it would have been great if he could use his items. He had so many formidable items in his storage space, and could have definitely taken care of all the people in this building.

What a pity ah. He could only use these two little brats to satisfy his craving, then he’d have to leave.

He was a user with enhanced physical strength. After rising to the intermediate level, not being able to use items in reality didn’t matter much to him. He was far stronger than a regular person, and he was certain that the police cars wouldn’t be able to catch up to him at all. 9YThMP

Tossed onto the ground, the phone couldn’t film the current situation, but discussion scrolled frantically over the screen:

“Fuck! What does this guy want to do?!”

“I don’t dare look…”

“Scum ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! You come back!” 0Gidtk

“Ohoh, exciting! Gifting a present~”

“LS is perverted!”

“Where’s the moderator?! Shouldn’t this sort of person be banned also ah?!!” WSbJzD

Xiao Lan’s movements were swift and he very quickly reached the edge of the roof.

Using the side of the building as cover, he took a stealthy look at the target player, and just happened to see the man raise his knife at the children.

Xiao Lan abruptly realised that the situation was taking a turn for the worse. He gave Luo a meaningful look, and they split up to come at the man from two directions.

The cold light of the knife attacked the children with deadly malice, kicking up a gust of wind that made people shudder. There was hatred and anticipation in the player’s eyes, the scene of delicate flowers wilting already floating around in his mind. fMqnke

With a “bang —”, the demon that had initially been towering above the children and who seemed undefeatable disappeared.

Confetti drifted in the air as a figure in garish colours took his place. 5pdzF7

The terror on the children’s faces had yet to disappear as they stared blankly at the person who had appeared before them.

That person was wearing an outlandish black-and-white checkered shirt. He took off his gorgeous top hat and gave them an elegant bow. There was a fixed smile on his white mask, as if he was standing on stage.

Xiao Lan crouched down and raised one finger as he tilted his head at the children. “Right now is mister clown’s magic time.”

The girl forgot her tears. “Ma… gic…” 8ExW4d

Xiao Lan stretched out one hand in front of her face and opened his palm. Immediately, new colourful confetti burst out and fell in front of the girl.

“Wow —” The small child’s tears had yet to dry, but she was already laughing, “Mister clown is amazing!”

The boy was more vigilant than his sister; he scooted to the front again and blocked her.

Xiao Lan didn’t mind when he saw this. He said to the children, “I’m going to perform a magic trick to make the big baddie disappear, so good children have to close their eyes now.” Ib6kGe

The boy asked uncertainly, “Really?”

Xiao Lan stood up. “Of course ah, mister clown never lies. You only have to close your eyes and  listen to me count to three, then the big baddie will have disappeared.”

Hearing this, the girl immediately closed her eyes obediently.

The boy struggled in his heart for a moment, looked at his little sister who was no longer crying, and in the end still chose to trust this person, and closed his eyes as well. aDkz6

“Good boy.” Xiao Lan smiled and praised him.

On the other side.

The target player who had suddenly been sent flying by a forceful kick tumbled over the ground. When he saw the footprint on his waist, he was a little in disbelief. As a player who preferred to enhance his physical strength and who had been at the intermediate level for a very long time, he was well aware of how strong his body was. What could send him flying so far with one kick?

Could it be — a player?! lBvNFn

He had heard of real-world missions, and instantly became nervous.

He knew that if a player took things too far in reality, the game would dispatch a nearby player to take care of them. He originally thought that he wouldn’t have a problem escaping with his fighting strength, but he didn’t expect to be sent flying with a kick right away even before he could see the other person’s face; it was as if he had been hit by a truck.

The Advent World had straight out called for a fucking gorilla!

Could this guy be an advanced player? yBRJCU

Seeing the back of the figure that was coaxing the children, he panicked and decided to take advantage of the moment that the other person wasn’t paying attention to run away. He couldn’t stay here any longer; it was simply too dangerous.

He rolled and crawled, and seized the moment to get up from the ground and run away from that garish fellow.

But a pair of leather shoes unexpectedly appeared in his line of sight, blocking his path. He raised his head to look; it was a man dressed in an exquisite three-piece suit. That man smiled at him warmly and said, “Apologies, my family’s sir did not permit you to leave.”

The smile didn’t reach his eyes. EaHxrs

When did this person appear?!

He clearly hadn’t heard any other footsteps nearby!

His breathing abruptly picked up as a premonition honed by life or death situations surfaced in his heart: This person was extremely dangerous; he should run away as soon as possible.

He twisted his head to look around the rooftop for a way to escape. XBP5fG

He then realised that previously, in order to ensure no one disturbed him, he had blocked the door himself. He had blocked his own path of survival…

Now, on the rooftop, he had no way to escape, unless he decided to directly jump down a few hundred meters and embed himself in the ground, becoming a part of the CBD’s expensive land.

A feeling called despair welled up in his heart.

Perhaps, he would meet his end here. yrOB3R

At the same time, after Xiao Lan consoled the two siblings and saw them close their eyes, he turned towards his mission target.

To resolve things in the shortest time possible, he activated his ability:

【Name: Poverty is unable to restrict my imagination】

【Ability: Eight-fold speed】 p2okBh

【Remaining time: 00:04:59】

After the skill upgrade, the increase in speed was also magnified.

The deadly countdown began:

“One.” JOpdZ1

Xiao Lan suddenly accelerated and darted towards the player as quick as lighting; his figure almost couldn’t be seen under the resplendent light.

That person’s pupils shrank as his heart jumped in shock. Seeing this, he understood that he couldn’t escape no matter what, and the weak and cowardly couldn’t survive in the Advent World. As his heart sank, a burst of determination bubbled up.

Come ba, let’s see if you die, or I do!

“Ding —” sKcvAg

He deserved to be called a veteran intermediate player, possessing exceptional fighting intuition. He raised his knife to block Xiao Lan’s swift slash, which almost couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

But it was just an ordinary knife that he was holding. Even if he had chosen the best quality brand in the real world, it still couldn’t compare with a high-grade weapon. After blocking the first blow, the knife broke.

“Fuck!” That person cursed in a low voice and threw the broken knife away.

“Two.” Hl4bM6

Xiao Lan’s second attack came from the side.

Relying on his abundant fighting experience and powerful physical constitution, that person darted to the side and narrowly avoided the strike.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The sharp tip sliced open a thin slit in his clothing, and he could almost feel that cutting blade on his skin. A burst of cold lingered over his skin, like a maggot digging into the bone.

Just a little more and the blade would have pierced his flesh. Ssg3y7

His head was already covered in sweat from this short confrontation. He shifted and was readjusting his posture in anticipation of the next round of attack, when he suddenly felt a chilly sensation at his throat.

Only in that moment did he abruptly realise: That attack just now — was a feint!

When the cold sank into his bones, it was as if something had entered his blood, like the grim reaper’s raised scythe swinging down; suddenly, he couldn’t feel his heartbeat.

The crazy person suddenly collapsed, sending up a cloud of dust. x08pUv

Xiao Lan looked at the system notification that appeared:

“【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】 deals He Haochuan damage, additional toxicity: potassium cyanide.”

Potassium cyanide which went straight to the heart would instantly cause it to stop beating. This person called He Haochuan really was unfortunate; he won an SSR right off the bat.

“Three.” AW5dPv

Bang —

At the end of the countdown, there was the sound of confetti bursting out, and the boy opened his eyes.

In front of him, bright ribbons and gold powder danced in the sky, as if cheering the end of a gorgeous celebration. Not only the big baddie, but even mister clown had disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, his younger sister carefully opened her eyes. “The big baddie is gone! Big brother, where’s mister clown?” B ClKO

The boy could only shake his head.

But he then saw his sister looking forward in surprise and joy as she clapped her hands. “Big brother, look at the flowers! Mister clown gave us flowers!”

Seeing his sister’s actions, the boy then realised that the rope around him had already been undone. He turned to look and only saw two origami roses on the ground. One was pink and the other was blue, and looked like gifts for them.

The girl picked up the pink flower, grinning until her eyes couldn’t be seen. mRcSD0

The boy also picked up the blue flower, looking pensive.

At that moment, there were noisy voices behind the rooftop door as it was kicked hard.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The children looked at the door, and a few moments later, the things piled against it fell down as the door opened and several officers in uniform poured onto the rooftop.

The first thing they saw was just the two children. 7OzK6f

Only after that did the police realise that the body of the man in the live stream was lying by the door in a spot that just so happened to be out of the children’s sight; there was no one else on the roof.

What in the world happened?

Feeling perplexed, the police went over and picked up the children. A kindly-looking, middle-aged police officer asked the children, “Do you know what happened just now?”

The girl excitedly raised the pink paper flower clutched in her chubby little hand. “I know, it was mister clown who magicked away the big baddie!” pHlDc

The middle-aged police officer: “This…”

He then looked at the slightly older boy, hoping to get a more reasonable answer.

The boy looked at the blue flower in his hand, his eyes determined. “When I grow up, I want to be mister clown too, and protect my little sister!”

The middle-aged police officer: “…” SBngsY

He felt a little worried. Could these children have been frightened stupid?

 

The author has something to say:

Luo: Today, I am just an unfeeling tool person throwing out flowers. suc1fy

Xiao Lan gave him a like.

Luo: If there’s work like this next time, please leave it to me once more!
