Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Chapter 2390: Powerful Control Player Spider Lock

Inside the micro-apparatus hides a trace of toxin. Impact will cause it to automatically release the toxin. Not every player has managed to protect themselves effectively, and inevitably some get caught. Unfortunately, with the personal panel unable to be opened, not many people carry a large amount of antitoxin with them. The players who have been poisoned used several injectors only to find that they don’t have much effect, and they couldn’t help but ask others for help.Unfortunately, others don’t have any solutions either. Someone suggested without thinking, "Why don’t we catch some poisonous insects here and fight poison with poison?"

But no one present has any research in this field.

Two players examined the corpse remains, "This guy was really ruthless, not leaving a single complete apparatus."

"It’s not necessarily because of self-destruction," another person said, "Some apparatuses with biological authentication are like that, destroying automatically when the carrier dies."

"But that’s meant to ensure technology doesn’t leak out. These... they’re just common spatial artifacts, is it worth doing that?"

The other players couldn’t help but mock the Fish Banquet’s stinginess.

"What about that fish and octopus?" someone asked. During the siege of the Formal Dress Player earlier, the Tentacle Tool played a role, but after that strike, it suddenly disappeared. Initially, everyone thought it had hidden in the forest, but now it seems completely vanished.

However, as these words were just spoken, a fish mouth suddenly appeared from the ground, swallowing Xu Huo and the three others, along with two players standing beside them!

Unlike the previous quick switches, the five people felt as if they were being swallowed into a transparent bubble, and in the blink of an eye, they were shifted from the ground to high in the sky!

"Are we in the belly of the fish?" asked a female player who was swept up. She cut around with the Space Triangle, finding it futile, and then asked the others, "Do any of you have an exit over there?"

Although the few were scattered, there was a sense of weightlessness within the space. Their feet couldn’t touch solid ground, and as they reached out to explore, they discovered the touch in every direction was very soft, like touching soft dough, feeling not quite right. Even as they tried to exert force in the same direction, it yielded no results.

Yet the Prop Fish was still moving. The next second, it moved into the collapsed forest. Xu Huo and the others could even see the grass and ground brushing past them. It felt intriguing, as if they were passing directly through the trees, with the space occupied by the trees intersecting with theirs but without interfering.

This sensation was even more intuitive than penetrating obstacles in the Spiritual World. They could even see the state of the objects being passed through.

"How is this possible?" another male player couldn’t help but utter, "Pass through the trees without causing any damage?"

This explanation isn’t quite accurate, for the space the Prop Fish passed through, it merely opened a fairly flexible Space Portal. Of course, people and props are different, so the portal required in human perception might differ from that for props. Perhaps, to them, the Prop Fish opened a large portal, whereas for the Prop Fish, it might just be a tiny crack.

But this first-person view took them by surprise.

Yet before they could recover from their shock, several players passed through space to the site where the Formal Dress Player self-destructed. Six people emerged, not finding their companions but releasing two spider-shaped flying apparatuses each—calling them flying apparatuses isn’t quite accurate. Besides flying, they could freely leap upon landing, targeting both the remaining players and two lurking small-sized beasts nearby.

Next, everyone in the fish belly witnessed whoever was touched by the spider apparatuses, whether it was attached to hands, feet, or their back, humans and animals alike froze instantly. They couldn’t even break free, seemingly unable to move a finger to activate any apparatus!

"These spider apparatuses and tentacle tools share the same origin?" Xu Huo immediately said, because the captured people and animals were in nearly identical states to those players previously captured by the Tentacle Tool!

The players who caught them didn’t leave immediately but used a detector to search around, seeming to detect the Prop Fish’s presence. As Xu Huo and the others approached, these few players all looked up simultaneously. One of them took out a tadpole-like apparatus, which as soon as it emerged, darted towards Xu Huo and the others, with shocking speed.

Of course, the Prop Fish moved quickly too, immediately shifting to another part of the zoo. Surprisingly, that tadpole followed closely behind. Xu Huo and the others switched places several times with the Prop Fish, and the tadpole always followed closely.

"Is that a prop or an apparatus? Does everything Fish Banquet uses have to be this advanced?" the female player said nervously.

The situation was clearly presented. Being caught almost meant no chance of escape; such an end wouldn’t be anything good. Don’t be fooled by Fish Banquet’s surface being a free hunting ground; behind the scenes, human trafficking like the mermaid is actually going on, and other things that can’t be presented openly will only be crueler. Otherwise, why do they need to catch people painstakingly? If it wasn’t troublesome, they’d just kill directly, wouldn’t they?

Xu Huo’s face also darkened. Although he knew Advanced Wormhole Sites surely had measures specifically targeting and controlling players, he didn’t expect this kind of level. Those spider apparatuses could even destroy Spatial Barriers—in such circumstances, neither props nor apparatus effects would be of much use. Even Super Evolution might be restrained... Can’t imagine what kind of plight the players would face with their personal panel closed, apparatus inhibited, and Super Evolution Power suppressed to a certain extent.

"Don’t be nervous, such good things aren’t commonly seen." Shi Shuai stroked his chin at this time and said, "Mainly, the Fish Banquet boss is rather powerful, that’s why they can procure these things."

"The spider locks can release Spatial Power. Upon contact with the human body, they can control human action briefly through spatial ray control inside the human body. But after all, it’s spatial rays—it’s good enough to pause, not very flexible."

The few present, including the Girl in the Painting, turned to look at him. Xu Huo said, "You actually know?"

Shi Shuai grinned, "I told you I’m a Super Player; a Super Player’s insight is naturally different. Too bad none of you believe me."

The other two players were both surprised and pleased. A Super Player’s strength isn’t on the same level as ordinary players, so escaping should be easy, right?

"Do you know how to make the spider locks?" the Girl in the Painting asked.

Shi Shuai’s smile stalled for a moment, "Who knows, I’m not a techie."

The Girl in the Painting’s disappointment was evidently unhidden.

Shi Shuai wanted to argue two sentences with her. The other two players couldn’t sit tight anymore, hurriedly interrupting their idle chit-chat, "Senior, can you take us away first? From the look of things, we probably can’t wait until the game channels reopen tonight!"
