EBE Chapter 1013 Drag
Chapter 1013 Drag
He gently took off his coat and covered Xi Ran with it. The girl seemed to feel the warmth and familiarity in her sleep, her brows relaxed, and she unconsciously leaned towards him. Xu Mo paused, and the softest part of his heart was gently touched. He sat on the carpet next to the sofa, leaning against the sofa, and just quietly guarded her.
The sky outside the window changed from dark blue to pale white, and then to the golden morning light that pierced through the clouds and spread across the entire city.
That night, the e-sports circle and the entire Internet were in an uproar.
"Shocking news! RNG's ace player 'Mo Shen' was involved in a gang fight late at night and single-handedly rescued the kidnapped female host Xi Ran!"
"A battle of wits or a hero saving a beautiful girl? The inside story of the bloody battle in the abandoned factory!"
"From an e-sports star to a martial arts expert, how many secrets does 'Mo Shen' Xu Mo hide?"
The news headlines were more sensational than the last, and the photos of the blood-stained and messy factory taken by reporters from outside the cordon, as well as the blurry figure of Xu Mo holding Xi Ran out of the police station, instantly ignited everyone's curiosity and desire to discuss. Fans were shocked, but they were more concerned about Xu Mo's safety and praised his character; while some black fans and marketing accounts began to lead the rhythm, questioning his violent tendencies and even speculating that there were more complicated inside stories behind the incident.
The RNG club immediately released an official statement, confirming the fact that Xi Ran was kidnapped and Xu Mo went to rescue her. It strongly condemned the criminals' vicious behavior and stated that it would fully cooperate with the police investigation and provide the players with all necessary legal and psychological support.
Xu Mo had no time to take care of all this for the time being.
When Xi Ran slowly woke up, the first thing he saw was Xu Mo, who was standing by his side with bloodshot eyes. The morning light shone through the window, casting a soft halo on his well-defined face, which dissipated much of the terrifying murderous aura on him, leaving only a reassuring calmness.
"You... didn't sleep all night?" Xiran's voice was hoarse from just waking up.
"I slept for a while." Xu Mo turned his head and gave her a comforting smile, "Are you hungry? I ordered breakfast."
Xi Ran then realized that she was covered with his coat, and he was wearing a T-shirt stained with blood casually. Several wounds had been bandaged, but they were still shocking. Her heart suddenly tightened.
"Your injury..."
"Small problem." Xu Mo stood up and stretched his stiff body. "Eat first, then I'll take you to the safe house arranged by the club, or you can go home. I'll have the club send someone to protect you."
Xi Ran shook her head. She looked at Xu Mo with a firm look in her eyes: "I won't go. I want to be with you."
What she feared was not that the bad guys would come to her door again, but that she would not see him again. The hellish scene last night and Xu Mo's god-like figure had been deeply imprinted in her mind. Only by staying with this man could she feel safe and complete.
Xu Mo looked at the stubbornness and dependence in her eyes. The words of rejection came to his lips, but he couldn't say it. He sighed and nodded: "Okay. But you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you have to follow my arrangements."
"Yeah!" Xiran nodded heavily, and finally showed the first smile after the incident on his face, bright and pure.
After breakfast, Xu Mo borrowed the bathroom from Xi Ran and washed off the blood and fatigue. When he changed into clean clothes and walked out, he found Xi Ran holding a medical kit, awkwardly treating a wound on his back that he couldn't treat himself.
"Let me do it." Xu Mo walked over to her and sat down.
Xi Ran said "hmm", dipped a cotton swab in disinfectant, and carefully wiped his wound. Her movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting him. When the cold disinfectant touched the wound, Xu Mo's body tensed up imperceptibly.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Xiran asked nervously.
"It doesn't hurt." Xu Mo's voice was very calm. This little pain was nothing compared to what he had experienced before.
Feeling the stiffness of his muscles, Xi Ran's heart ached even more. She didn't know what this man, who was usually calm and wise in the game, had experienced to have such terrible skills and iron will. She just wanted to be better to him.
After treating the wound, Xu Mo received an encrypted call. He walked to the balcony and answered the call after confirming that Xi Ran couldn't hear him.
"Old ghost."
An old and steady voice came from the other end of the line: "Boy, you've made quite a commotion. I've already informed the police, and they will handle it according to the highest limit of self-defense. There won't be any trouble. But as for the 'Panlong Society' line, I advise you to stop here."
"Impossible." Xu Mo answered without any hesitation, "I want all the information about Black Snake. If he dares to touch my people, he should be prepared to die."
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then he sighed, "Your temper... still hasn't changed. 'Black Snake' is Zhao Jinlong, the local leader of the 'Panlong Society', known for his ruthlessness. There are some foreign forces behind him, so it's very troublesome. I have sent you several places where he might be hiding now. Be careful, this is all I can do for you this time."
"Thank you." Xu Mo hung up the phone and looked at the encrypted file he had just received on his mobile phone. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He returned to the living room. Xiran had already packed the medicine box and was sitting there quietly looking at him.
"Mo Shen," she asked softly, "Do you... have anything else to do?"
Xu Mo looked into her clear eyes and knew he couldn't hide it from her. He didn't deny it, but just said, "Some things must be resolved. Don't worry, I promise to come back safely."
Xi Ran did not ask further questions, nor did she dissuade him. She just stood up, walked to Xu Mo, and then, mustering all her courage, she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the cheek.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
Her voice was very soft, but it carried a tremendous force that hit Xu Mo's heart hard.
Xu Mo was shocked. Looking at the girl in front of him who only had eyes for him, he felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility and desire to protect her. He reached out his hand, held her in his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"wait for me."
After letting Xi Ran go, Xu Mo's eyes had returned to their calm state. He checked the "special fountain pen" in his pocket and took out some small but deadly tools from an inconspicuous backpack.
The flame of revenge has been ignited, and this time, he is no longer fighting alone. Behind him, there is a girl who needs his protection and is waiting for his return.
"Panlonghui", black snake.
The hunt has begun.
A week later, the stage of the LPL Spring Finals was brightly lit and bustling with people.
The huge screen was playing promotional videos of the two teams, and the exciting music and the thunderous cheers of the fans almost overturned the dome of the entire venue. The players of RNG and the opponent team were already sitting in their respective competition seats, conducting the final equipment debugging.
However, the atmosphere today is somewhat subtle.
Countless viewers focused their attention on RNG's mid laner Xu Mo, who shocked the entire Internet a week ago with his "single-player bloody battle at a gang stronghold" and was now sitting quietly in front of his computer, concentrating on adjusting the DPI of his mouse.
The hideous wounds on his body had long been covered by his uniform, but the cold temperament that emanated from his bones could not be concealed no matter what. He was no longer just the "Mo Shen" who planned and strategized in the canyon. In the eyes of many people, he was more like a mystery full of danger.
"Dear audience, welcome back to the 202X LPL Spring Finals!" Wawa's voice was full of passion in the commentary booth. "Today's match is attracting everyone's attention, not only because of who will win the championship, but also because of our RNG mid laner, Mo Shen! After experiencing such a thrilling event a week ago, whether he can maintain his peak form today will be the biggest highlight of this game!"
"That's right," Miller continued, "We saw that Mo Shen's expression today was very calm, and he seemed to be completely unaffected by public opinion. But we all know that the calmer the sea surface, the more likely it is to hide turbulent undercurrents. I am very much looking forward to his performance in Summoner's Rift today."
In the lounge backstage, Xi Ran's heart was clenched tightly. She did not choose to go to the guest seats in the front, but stayed here, watching his every move through the screen. Her palms were full of sweat, she was worried about him, but also proud of him. She knew that this man chose to sit on the court again, not only for the championship, but also to prove to everyone that nothing could knock him down.
"Mozi, don't feel pressured, just treat this as a normal training match!" Uzi encouraged loudly in the team voice chat. He wanted to use his enthusiasm to dilute the heavy atmosphere.
"Don't worry," Xu Mo's voice came through the headset, calm and powerful, "Today, we are the champions."
The BP phase begins.
The opposing coach had obviously done in-depth research on Xu Mo and specifically banned three of his best assassin heroes in an attempt to limit his performance.
However, when RNG finally countered the hero, the whole audience was shocked.
Night Hunter——Vayne!
Mid lane Vayne!
"Oh my god! Mid lane Vayne! What is Mo Shen going to do?" Wawa exclaimed, "Although this hero has displacement and self-protection, the laning pressure in the early stage is huge, and it is extremely challenging for the operator's personal ability! This is simply dancing on the edge of a knife!"
Xu Mo's choice is undoubtedly a declaration.
A declaration full of the original "Hua Man Gan" style - no matter how you target me, I will defeat you with the purest operation!
Game start.
Everyone thought that Xu Mo's Vayne would be suppressed badly in the early stage, but he showed a breathtaking laning skill. Every move seemed to be carefully calculated, and he could always avoid the opponent's key skills; every raise and cancel of a general attack was as smooth as art. He didn't deliberately kill, but like a precise scalpel, he nibbled away the opponent's mid laner's health and last hits bit by bit, and invisibly established a huge advantage.
His fighting style was the same as when he saved people - ruthless, precise, without any unnecessary movements.
As time entered the mid-game, the two sides had the first large-scale team fight in the river in order to compete for the little dragon.
RNG's formation was broken up by the opponent, Uzi's ADC was focused on, the situation was precarious!
Just when everyone thought that RNG was going to be defeated in this team fight, Xu Mo's Vayne moved.
He did not choose to protect the back row, but activated his ultimate move "Ultimate Moment". Like a god of death appearing in the dark night, he rolled over and cut directly into the opponent's most tightly defended back row!
"Mo Shen is coming! Is he going to cut off the opponent's double C by himself? This is too risky!"
The commentator's voice became hoarse, and the hearts of the audience were in their throats.
Vayne's figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness, and every time she rolled over, her basic attack would accurately hit the opponent's ADC. The opponent's support used all his control skills, but Xu Mo dodged them all with an incredible movement and flash!
Three rings detonated!
Another arrow!
The opponent's ADC didn't even have time to deal much damage before being "evaporated" in an instant by Xu Mo!
Then, he turned the gun and aimed directly at the opponent's mage!
"Double Kill!"
Double kill!
Xu Mo disrupted the opponent's entire formation and defeated their core with his own strength! U-zi and others seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked. With a wave of overwhelming pursuit, they exchanged zero for four and won the team battle!
"This... is this Mo Shen?" Miller's voice was trembling. "This is not a game, this is a massacre! His operation, his calmness, his grasp of timing, are simply god-like!"
The primitive wildness and murderous intent in the factory were perfectly interpreted by him in another way in the Summoner's Rift!
However, just when RNG took down the Baron and was sure of victory, the screen of Xu Mo's mobile phone placed on the corner of the table suddenly lit up.
It was a text message from an unknown number. The content was very simple, with only one sentence:
"Your performance was wonderful, but the game has just begun. - Black Snake"
Xu Mo's eyes suddenly condensed, and his pupils suddenly contracted. The cold murderous intent seemed to penetrate through the screen.
"Mozi, what's wrong?" Ming keenly noticed the sudden change in his aura.
"It's okay." Xu Mo's voice returned to calm, but it was even colder than before. "One wave, push them away."
The following game completely entered "Xu Mo time".
He no longer carried out any operations or pulling, but led the team in the most direct and brutal way, launching a tidal attack on the opponent's base. His Vayne was like a ruthless killing machine, leaving no grass behind wherever he went.
The defense towers are like paper in front of him, and the enemy heroes are vulnerable in front of him.
He poured out all the rage in his heart that was ignited by the provocation of "Black Snake" into this game!
Finally, amid the roar of the audience, the five players of RNG, with the Baron Buff, rushed to the opponent's high ground. Xu Mo's Vayne went in and out of the crowd seven times, got a triple kill, and blew up the opponent's crystal base with his own hands!
"victory!"
The golden word "VICTORY" blooms on the screen.
"Let's congratulate RNG! Congratulations to them for winning the LPL Spring Championship!"
Streamers flew, cheers shook the sky, and teammates jumped up excitedly and rushed over to hug Xu Mo.
However, Xu Mo just calmly took off his headphones and stood up. His eyes did not look at the glittering championship trophy, but passed through the revelers and landed precisely on the girl who was smiling at him with tears in her eyes at the backstage entrance.
Xiran understood the meaning in his eyes.
He won this glorious battle. (End of this chapter)
