Qin Wan'er laughed triumphantly: "Lu Zhaoming, you've finally met your match! Die!"

She raised the dagger and stabbed Lu Zhaoming again.

However, just as the dagger was about to pierce Lu Zhaoming, a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Now!"

Lu Zhaoming suddenly exerted force, grabbed Qin Wan'er's wrist, and twisted it hard.

With another sharp crack, Qin Wan'er's other wrist was also broken by Lu Zhaoming.

Qin Wan'er let out an even more shrill scream, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

Lu Zhaoming gave her no chance to catch her breath. He raised his right foot and kicked Qin Wan'er hard in the stomach.

Qin Wan'er was sent flying backward again, crashing heavily into the wall before sliding helplessly to the ground.

She has completely lost her fighting ability.

Lu Zhaoming stepped forward, grabbed the small remote control on Qin Wan'er's waist, and squeezed it hard.

The remote control was crushed to pieces by Lu Zhaoming.

"call……"

Lu Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was over.

However, at that moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the energy room.

"Core energy is about to overload, please evacuate immediately!"

At the same time, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, from which a dark blue light burst forth, like a volcanic eruption.

This energy spread outwards as if it were alive, devouring everything in its path.

Through system analysis, Lu Zhaoming discovered that this energy was trying to devour all spiritual energy, including the potential within his own body.

Holy crap!

He decisively activated the system's defense mechanism, barely managing to withstand the first wave of attack.

The eerie blue light grew stronger and more violent, as if it would devour the entire world.

Lu Zhaoming felt as if his body was being torn apart, and he was in excruciating pain.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a voice.

A voice that is both alluring and tinged with madness.

"Give up, Lu Zhaoming... Join us, and you will gain true power..."

Who is lying?

Lu Zhaoming wanted to turn around, but found that he couldn't move at all.

His consciousness grew increasingly blurred, as if he were about to be swallowed by darkness.

"Hehehe..."

The voice rang out again, filled with malice and mockery.

Lu Zhaoming used his last bit of strength to try and see clearly the owner of the voice.

He turned his head with difficulty, and saw...

Qin Wan'er had somehow managed to stand up, a strange smile playing on her lips, her eyes gleaming with a ghostly blue light.

She whispered two words to Lu Zhaoming.

"goodbye……"

The voice was soft, yet it struck Lu Zhaoming's heart like a heavy hammer.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhaoming lost consciousness.

(To be continued) "You ran away pretty fast, you crazy woman!" Lu Zhaoming spat, not having time to pay attention to Qin Wan'er's "zombie" act.

What is the most urgent task?

Of course, the best course of action is to quickly move to a safe haven and pick up our "little sweetheart" Su Li!

After all, who knows what kind of trouble might arise in this godforsaken place?

However, just as he was about to make his escape, he caught a glimpse of that bottomless crack out of the corner of his eye.

The eerie blue light twisted and flickered, much like the laser lights in a cheap disco.

Wait, what's that?!

Lu Zhaoming rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't hallucinating from working too much overtime—in the raging blue light, a blurry human figure was vaguely emerging!

The outline flickered between light and shadow, like a writhing mass of light and shadow, or some kind of monster being conceived.

It has no facial features, no limbs, just a twisted, irregular outline, yet it exudes a chilling sense of oppression, as if it were the gaze of an ancient god cast across time and space.

Lu Zhaoming felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end.

He felt as if he were being locked onto by some unknown entity, and his every move was being monitored.

This feeling... is absolutely awful!

"interesting……"

A low murmur came from the humanoid silhouette, like the scraping of metal or the whisper of a demon, and Lu Zhaoming felt a chill run down his spine.

"The game has only just begun..."
