A chat group for a certain tower warlock

Lin Yi: @CatHeadTowerWarlock, another person has entered your world!

Lin Yi: Yarman, are you there, Yarman!

Dumbledore: I remember he's been quite busy lately.

Veronica: He just finished his audience with the Great Mother Goddess, he should still be resting now.

Ai Luo: Can there be two group members in one world?

Scranton: I don't know, there's no precedent for that.

Tesla: A new guy has arrived, and from Yarman's world?

Yarman: Stop yelling, stop yelling, I know.

Yarman looked helplessly at the few people who were tagging him in the group chat, sighed, and shook his head. "Tagling me once is enough, why tag me so many times?"

Yarman: Which new group member is it? @Show me.

Please call me Faceless Man: It's me. Who are you? Are you one of my six-star operators?

Yarman: I'm sorry, no, I think I know who you are, Doctor, right? You actually woke up at this time, so Chernobog should be finished, and Rhodes Island has also entered the game.

Lindal: Has the story officially begun?

Doctor: I just came out of the sarcophagus and am now being chased by the Reunion Movement. @CatHeadTowerWarlock, boss, where are you? I'm about to die, come and lend a hand!

Yarman: I'm in Lungmen right now. If I were to lend a hand, I'm afraid you'd all be out by the time I get there. Lungmen is still quite far from Chernobog.

Doctor: Boss, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!

Yarman: Okay, I'll upload a free door key array diagram in a bit. After you buy it, lay it flat on the ground, and then I'll just use the door key to travel through it. That should work.

Doctor: Thank you, sir!

Doctor: Boss, I've already bought it and put it on the ground. Come on over!

Yarman: I'll be there soon!

Yarman closed the chat group and walked into a secluded alley. Suddenly, several huge octopus tentacles grew out of his back. One of the tentacles suddenly fell off and landed on the ground, transforming into an identical Yarman. At the same time, the alley was instantly filled with an eerie mist.

A few minutes later, the fog dissipated, and Yarman walked out of the alley and headed towards the hotel not far away, as if nothing had happened.

…………

Chernobog, on the path.

"Doctor, what are you waiting for?" Amiya asked anxiously, looking at the Doctor who was squatting on the ground, spreading out a strange blueprint, and then standing up without moving.

"We should go! The Reunion Movement is about to surround us!"

"It'll be ready soon," the doctor said calmly, completely ignoring the gazes of Doberman and the others around him. He simply stared at the blueprints in front of him without saying a word; he was waiting.

Just as the group was getting impatient and the professor was about to give up, the blueprints suddenly burst into flames.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Doctor."

A portal, large enough for one person to pass through, appeared in the air. A Philin dressed in a black wizard's robe and wearing a golden crown stepped out, looked around, and said, "As expected, Chernobog is finished."

"Alright, my reinforcements have arrived!" The Doctor breathed a deep sigh of relief and looked at Amiya beside him, saying, "This is the master I invited, a top-tier mage."

After saying that, he looked at Yarman and asked, "So what do we do next?"

"What should we do? We'll just have to fight back!"

"Can't you open that portal again?"

“It’s possible, but your physical condition is too poor, and my location is set inside Lungmen, which is too far from here. I’m worried that you’ll be torn to pieces by spatial forces halfway through the journey,” Yarman said to the doctor with a helpless expression.

"This kind of spatial magic has quite high requirements for people, especially when the distance traveled exceeds 100 kilometers. Without sufficient physical strength, it is easy to suffer a comminuted fracture of the spine."

"Then why can you do it?"

"If you had my physical abilities, you wouldn't need my help."

“That makes sense, let’s go!” The doctor looked at the group of people beside him and ran outside after them, while Yarman followed behind the doctor.

"By the way, how would you like me to help you?"

"What do you mean, how can I help?"

"Should we simply get you out of here, or kill everyone here?" Yarman said with a smile as he ran. "Actually, I prefer the second one; it's much simpler that way."

"...Just protect us and get us out."

"OK then."

You seem quite disappointed!

"No, I'm just frustrated that I can't leave work sooner."

Chapter 41: You're the Doctor, You're in Charge

"By the way, have you noticed we're being followed?" Yarman looked at the doctor beside him. "Do you remember what that unconventional wolf from the Reunion Movement was called?"

"I think her name is... Lyudmila?" The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "Her title is Kingslayer. Her nemesis is those few special types, but when the Wolf Fang traits are stacked up, she transforms into Godslayer."

“You still remember? That’s good.” Yarman nodded, then stopped and looked at him with a smile. “Should we keep going? She and her men have blocked the way. She’s enjoying the chase right now. Should we keep running, or should we catch this so-called hunter?”

"Can you catch it?"

"Do you want to live or die?"

“Personally, I would recommend the death option.” Yarman looked at the doctor standing in front of him and smiled. “That way I won’t have to think about so many things. One spell will solve all the problems.”

Just as the two were talking, the entire group stopped. Compared to before, the Kingslayer was pursuing them much faster this time. With such an assassin harassing them, the group had to slow down to avoid the embarrassing situation of the entire squad dying while running.

"Doctor, come back quickly!" Amiya shouted at the Doctor from the middle of the group. She was worried that the Doctor and that strange wizard were standing outside and that the assassin would slit their throats.

What she could think of, the king-killer on the other side could naturally think of as well.

Upon seeing the two men standing alone outside the group, she immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity to assassinate their squad. Without the slightest hesitation, she grabbed her knife and vanished into thin air.

"Should we go back? I'm worried we'll get ripped off."

"I'm fine with either place. It doesn't really matter where I stand. There's no threat to me here."

"Then I'll go back..."

“Here it comes!” Yarman reached out and slowly grabbed a hand holding a knife that had come to the doctor’s side. “Have you ever heard of a deliberately exposed vulnerability in the field of computer security called a honeypot? This thing is designed to catch naive hackers who don’t know their own strength.”

Under the doctor's shocked gaze, Yarman pulled the still-unresponsive Kingslayer in front of him and then struck her on the back of the head, knocking her unconscious on the spot.

Yarman casually picked up the unconscious Kingslayer and tossed him into the Doctor's arms. "Here, the living Lyudmila you wanted. Here you go. What a hassle. I have to control my strength when I hit someone. If it were before, if an assassin dared to kill me, I would have chopped his head off with one blow."

Holding the Kingslayer in his arms, the Doctor remained silent for a long time before slowly raising a thumbs up. "Yes, you're absolutely right, sir! By the way, sir, are you interested in Rhodes Island?"

"What's wrong? Want me to pull you up so you can work 996?"

"No, how could that be? You just need to train our children."

"There's so much information in the group, isn't that enough for you?" Yarman said casually as he walked beside him. "Just save up some trading points, buy the knowledge you need, and you're all set. You don't need my help at all; you can solve all the problems yourself, and..."

"And what?"

“I don’t think you would welcome me if you knew my route.”

"So, which direction are you going, sir?"

"A while ago it was all about the Tower Warlocks, now it's all about the Cthulhu archetype."

"...Boss, let's keep in touch more often in the future."

“I knew it!” Yarman looked at the doctor, who had been stunned for a while and immediately started to make excuses, and shook his head with a smile. “Besides, I have my own mobile city, and I don’t have time to mess around with you guys.”

"Where is your mobile city located? I'll go and set up a contact point in a while."

"In the wasteland a little above Iberia, there's a place called Canaan... Wait, someone else is coming!" Yarman suddenly stopped talking and looked at the Doctor, asking, "What was the second mini-boss again?"

"Mephistopheles and Faust?"

“Yes! They’re here, and the road ahead is blocked.” Yarman looked at the doctor. “This time, will they live or die? You don’t need to look at me like that. I’ve been in this world for over twenty years, and I’ve forgotten all the details.”

"Wait... wait a minute, all we want to do is run away, right?" The doctor suddenly realized that when did they become someone who was arresting people? He just wanted to get out!

"Shall we leave now?"

"But my friends haven't arrived yet!"

"Hey buddy...you mean those other squads, right?" Yarman thought for a moment, then looked up and said. He finally remembered that the ACE squad and the Nearl squad hadn't arrived yet.

"Yes, I can't just abandon them and run away!"

“I see, that makes sense now.” Yarman nodded and looked at the Doctor. “By the way, do you remember Scout? If I’m not mistaken, his squad has already engaged W. By the time we get out, they should have been wiped out.”

"Hey! Boss, do you have a solution?"

“This…yes!” Yarman nodded, and a rustling sound came from behind him. Instantly, a thick fog covered the entire massive city-state. Mephistopheles, who had just arrived and was about to stand on the broken rock to show off, was forced to stop, while Faust, who was unwilling to come out, put away his crossbow.

With such thick fog, we can't even see the target. What's the point of shooting? Go home and sleep.

To the doctor's astonishment, dozens of enormous octopus tentacles sprouted from Yarman's back. He ripped one off and threw it on the ground, and the tentacle then transformed into an identical copy of him.

"Go, protect Scout Squad. Anyone who dares to make a move, kill them on sight," Yarman said coldly. Unlike the Doctor, he didn't hesitate to kill an enemy.

"This, W and Ines, please..."

"What are their identities now, and what are yours? There's a limit to lust!" Yarman looked at the Doctor with a mixture of disgust and helplessness. He pointed to the Kingslayer in his arms, "Holding one in your arms and still glancing outside, what, is it that the wildflowers smell better than the garden flowers?"

"..."

“Aren’t you leaving? This fog can only last for another five minutes at most. If you don’t leave now, you’ll be listening to Mephisto’s ramblings soon,” Yarman said to the Doctor.

"But Nearl and Ace haven't arrived yet!" The Doctor looked around anxiously. According to his memory, Ace should have arrived long ago, so why is he nowhere to be seen now?

"It's probably because you wasted too much time waiting for me, and that messed up your plans." Yarman shook his head. That's how it is on the battlefield; even a slight advance or delay can cause huge errors.

Just like now, in his perception, the ACE team is breaking through obstacles and advancing towards them, and the Nearl team is almost there too.

"What I can tell you is that they will be here soon, but if we wait until they all arrive before leaving, the fog will clear, and we will have to break through by confronting the Reunion Movement head-on."

"Now, the choice is yours. You are the doctor, the commander, and you decide."

"This……"

Chapter 42: Mephistopheles: I will definitely kill you!

Standing still, the Doctor fell silent. At that moment, the operators who had been confronting the Reunion Movement in front of him ran over and surrounded the Doctor, protecting him.

"Doctor, how can you stand outside like that!" Amiya said to him, both angry and anxious.

"Look, we've caught the Kingslayer on the other side." The Doctor showed the Kingslayer in his arms. "Look, this is the result of my efforts outside."

"This is clearly the result of this gentleman's arrest!"

Watching the doctor being scolded, Yarman remained silent outside the team. He was only there to help out and also to see what this new teammate was like. Their group chat was a mutual aid group, not an aid group. They needed friends who could survive on their own, not useless people who couldn't do anything.

Anyway, this time it was his turn to test this new group member. The task he gave him was very simple: with his strength, Rhodes Island could guarantee that no one would die, and that would be considered a success.

If even with him included, the Doctor still manages to lose so many key personnel for Rhodes Island, then there's no need to bother with him.

Looking at the doctor who was still nodding incessantly, Yalman shook his head slightly. What's the point of cursing at such an emergency? Curse him outside! Does he really think this is an amusement park?

Looking around, Yarman sighed again. Alright, no need to choose anymore. We've been messing around for four minutes already. The ACE team and the Nearl team have arrived, and the fog has dissipated. Time to listen to Mephisto's rap.

After finishing his conversation with Amiya and the others, the Doctor looked at Yarman, who was standing at the very end of the line, and said, "Boss, I suddenly realized, could you release that mist again?"

“It’s possible, but if we do it again, over 90% of the people who were inside the mist will go insane.” Yarman toyed with his staff and said calmly, “Of course I can cast the mist, but the problem is you can’t withstand the mental effects it has.”

"Then now..."

“Because of your delay, we have no other choice.” Yarman looked up, his eyes calm as still water. “The ACE team and the Nearl team have arrived, Mephisto has arrived, and Mephisto’s crossbow is already aimed at your head. Now, you should consider how to fight next.”

"..."

"Doctor!" ×2

Two squads charged in from both sides of the team, clearing out the Reunion Movement members who had surrounded the Doctor's squad. The leaders of the two squads, Ace and Nearl, came to the Doctor's side.

"Doctor, let's prepare to break out!" Nearl said quickly to the Doctor.

"Breakout? Did you even ask us?"

A voice came from not far away. Everyone looked up and saw a young infected boy wearing a white long-sleeved jacket and white shorts, holding a strange spellcasting unit, walking up.

Looking at the crowd, he was about to speak when he noticed the captured Kingslayer. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You actually captured the Kingslayer? Who did it?"

“Me.” Yarman smiled and raised his hand. “I did it, so what?”
