Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

"Almost the same." Xu Huo looked at the few battle dolls that had already appeared nearby and said, "These dolls will self-destruct, don’t hold back, kill as many as you can."

The Girl in the painting nodded excitedly, then turned and flew toward the two battle dolls on the left, while he turned to face the battle dolls on the other side.

The combat capability of the battle dolls was beyond doubt. They themselves could not use props, their bodies were operated by instruments, and mostly fought using instruments, so compared to outside Circus City, the players’ combat effectiveness was greatly weakened, yet the dolls remained unaffected.

Of course, Xu Huo had quite a few instruments on him too, and not all of these battle dolls were equipped with premium Rank-B or Rank-A instruments, so just from the equipment standpoint, Xu Huo held the advantage.

After continuously killing more than a dozen battle dolls, he determined that the level of battle dolls that ventured out was different from those that remained in Circus City, but although they weren’t all equipped with top-notch instruments, the quantity of instruments on these dolls was still considerable.

Especially as the scale of the battle increased, the dolls drawn over later were equipped with more refined instruments than before, and their combat patterns became more varied, no longer self-destructing upon receiving damage—this shows that the battle dolls, like puppet people, had delineated activity areas. The closer to the Suitcase Man’s castle, the more the combat power of both battle and puppet dolls would drastically increase—and this was still under the condition of an unopened instance.

But this wasn’t entirely bad news; with a high number of battle dolls and differentiated by level and area, it meant the Suitcase Man would not return to the dungeon venue to check because of losing a few dolls, providing them an opening.

"Whish!" Accompanied by a dull whistling sound, the dismembered head of the battle doll Xu Huo had just severed now had its arm automatically detach into two long whips that flew in from both sides, while five more battle dolls attacked from above, below, left, right, and behind.

The arc-shaped defensive barrier enveloped Xu Huo, and after consecutive explosions, the two whips of metal chains entangled the barrier. As the whip tightened, several finger-sized spider-shaped instruments clung tightly to the barrier, and after a few squeaks, the defensive barrier broke. Immediately, a cold wind surrounded him and pervaded rapidly, causing his shoulder and arm to freeze. The biting cold penetrated the metal suit onto his skin, and at the same time, several small spider locks clasped onto his back and legs.

But it wasn’t over yet. Before he had time to remove the spider locks from him, several piercing sounds erupted around, almost instantly causing him to lose hearing, and his body to sway.

The battle dolls were unaffected; they didn’t let this opportunity slip by. Under the cover of the instrument attack, two previously battered battle dolls flew to his side front and back, without hesitation, they self-destructed...

"Boom! Boom!"

Under the protection of the defensive barrier, Xu Huo utilized the explosive impact to break through the encirclement of battle dolls from one side, leading them into a restaurant. He immediately activated the Interference Device, taking advantage of its effect, he resolved a few more dolls before their reinforcements arrived, changed his disguise, and slipped out through the back door, taking the Girl in the painting through a Mental Portal thousands of meters away.

The frog costume on the Girl in the painting had already been blown to shreds; she wiped her blackened face and mouthed, "Your ear is bleeding."

Xu Huo wiped it off and looked at the bright red blood on his finger, slightly frowning.

In the situation where props were restricted, it was too easy for those battle dolls to find loopholes to exploit, and the accumulation of a Super Player is surely not to be underestimated. Considering how many battle dolls there are, there must be reserves of instruments at least ten times the number here.

No wonder he had to rob all over the place. Compared to other Super Players’ instances, this one demanded a substantial investment.

"Do we still need to fight those dolls?" the Girl in the painting asked again.

"Those dolls aren’t ones leaving Zone 039; tracking them is pointless." Xu Huo mused, "Go and find Qi Cong and Dai He; don’t let them die. I’ll go ahead and check on the people from Yongta Country. Since he’s tracking the battle dolls over here, he might know information that Dai He and the others don’t."

The Girl in the painting nodded and donned a new puppet costume and went out.

Evading the battle dolls and searching for people became simple, as Xu Huo maximized the range of his Spiritual World and found traces of the people from Yongta Country after advancing towards the castle just five or six times.

Unfortunately, there were casualties on their side; the middle-aged man, along with his remaining three companions, wore puppet costumes and hid among the street’s puppet people, avoiding the battle dolls and puppets constantly searching for them.

Indeed, unlike the encounter Xu Huo and his companions faced, the players from Yongta Country attracted a search that included puppets after causing an uproar.

Unlike unused puppets, those operating with battle dolls had high freedom; the battle dolls occupied the high ground, scanning with instruments, while the puppets patrolled the streets, examining every puppet person they considered suspect.

The way they checked puppet people was quite simple, as they seemingly could determine the authenticity of a puppet through physical contact.

The Yongta individuals continuously moved amidst the crowd along the street, but their activity was limited to a set area, roughly within ten streets. As soon as they attempted to approach the boundary, they would attract the attention of surrounding puppet people, thus forcing them to pivot within this area repeatedly.

The battle dolls and puppets checked only within this area, seemingly confirming they hadn’t fled far.

"Beep beep beep!" An instrument of a battle doll suddenly sounded, and all surrounding dolls, puppet people, and puppets turned to face the position of the Yongta individuals.

"Damn it, let’s go for it!" The middle-aged man lifted his headpiece, clasped his hands towards the sky, and gathered Spatial Power, forming two Spatial Blade walls that skewered the bouncing puppet people. However, this didn’t last long, as the approach of battle dolls shifted the power of the Spatial Interference Device, disrupting the stability of Spatial Ray Blades, and once they lost their lethal edge, the puppet people easily breached the defense.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" Another player utilized several props to form six defensive barriers around them, though it couldn’t withstand long; the two rabbit puppets tore through the puppet people from different directions charging at the barriers, their sharp claws ripping side to side, breaking through one layer in just a few strikes, and the battle dolls synchronized to seal off the entire street. Ten layers of barricades shrank in scope, eventually confining the middle-aged man and his companions within a ten-meter radius.

"You bastards!" When the last defensive barrier broke, the middle-aged man’s watch shot out two streams of Spatial Power, pinning the two rabbits to the ground, then pulled on the sky, causing small distortions in the ten layers of barricades. As several micro-bombs flew out, the barricades shattered in succession, allowing the group to escape.

But the battle dolls were increasing in number, forcing them to flee away from the castle direction.

Battle dolls weren’t easily lost. A round of sonic attacks slowed the four down, and two small spider locks precisely targeted one of their backs.

Spider locks immobilized players; the companion froze on the spot, and the remaining three scattered as the battle dolls swarmed in, making rescue attempts impossible...

"Enter!" Several Mental Portals abruptly appeared before their eyes.
