As the distance between the two continued to close, Xiao Jin's smile became more and more beautiful, and Liam was so shaken that he almost suffocated.

His heavy breathing echoed in the theater.

Just as Liam reached out to grab Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin moved.

A flash of silver light was aimed at Liam's neck. Xiao Jin's smile vanished instantly, and a powerful killing intent shot out from his eyes.

However, Liam was prepared. He quickly retreated, his dagger pointing directly at his neck.

The two men's weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.

"Not bad speed." Liam sneered, flipping his dagger toward Xiao Jin's wrist.

"I knew you wouldn't give up, you bitch! Well then, don't blame me!"

As fellow players, Liam had encountered far too many people who would rather die than surrender. He pretended to be seduced, but in reality, he was always keeping an eye on Xiao Jin's movements.

"I'll turn you into a human pig, and then slowly squeeze out your items and points," Liam grinned maliciously.

"Fine," Xiao Jin said with a mocking smile, "but you'll have to have the ability first!"

Immediately, the battle between the two escalated rapidly, and amidst the flashing swords, Xiao Jin gradually gained the upper hand.

Liam was covered in wounds inflicted by Xiao Jin; his jaw was almost broken by a kick.

"Ah! I'm going to kill you!" Liam roared, charging towards Xiao Jin like an enraged bull.

At this point, he couldn't care less about his lower body. Being beaten up like this by a pretty boy made Liam extremely angry.

The thick arm was raised high, the golden copper ring on the wrist gleaming, and then it slammed down on Xiao Jin's head with tremendous force.

Xiao Jin dodged the attack with lightning speed, as if she were a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, she retaliated swiftly, pushing off the ground with both feet and charging towards Liam like an arrow.

The steel-like knee slammed into the opponent's head, and Liam felt a 'whoosh' before flying backward and crashing into the massage chair.

"Cough cough cough! How could this be..."

Liam's mouth and nose were full of blood, and his head was swollen like a pig's head.

He stood up shakily and looked at Xiao Jin, a hint of fear in his eyes.

At first, he thought Xiao Jin was just a show-off, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful. She looked frail, but every attack she made carried great strength, which made him somewhat unable to defend himself.

And... isn't that guy a knife user? How come he's so physically strong?

Liam finally admitted that he had misjudged the situation.

What was initially thought to be a lamb to the slaughter turned out to be a fierce tiger with hidden claws.

He had a bad feeling and wanted to escape as soon as possible, so he removed the restriction on the door and ran back the way he came.

How could Xiao Jin let him escape so easily?

In a flash, Xiao Jin appeared in front of the door, blocking Liam's escape route.

The other person was so frightened that their body trembled and they stopped abruptly.

Liam gritted his teeth and then threw a remote-controlled bomb toward Xiao Jin's location.

Xiao Jin activated his quantum shield to block the attack, while simultaneously unleashing a blade of light from his longsword, shattering the bomb in mid-air.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Jin teleported through the smoke and, before Liam could react, slashed his long sword fiercely at the man's waist.

With a "crack," Liam's body was cut in half at the waist by Xiao Jin, and blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain, staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

Liam's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Before he could even let out a scream, he collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of data and disappearing from the game world.

[Ding—Congratulations on defeating an enemy player! Reward: 2000 points and one random treasure chest. (Note: Rewards for this dungeon will be distributed after the game ends.)]

After killing the foreign players, Xiao Jin found a clean screening room to rest.

Amo volunteered to keep watch again, but Xiao Jin didn't sleep well that night; she could hear unusual noises outside the movie theater.

After two days of observation, Xiao Jin discovered that the mutated creatures not only attacked humans, but also killed each other.

So even though my hearing is good, it's not all bad; I'm prone to insomnia!

Sure enough, before dawn, Xiao Jin was awakened by a commotion.

She suddenly opened her eyes, showing no sign of sleepiness, and quickly sat up from the ground, the long knife already in her hand.

"Amo, something's up," Xiao Jin said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Amo immediately became alert, straightened his upper body, and stared intently at the door of the projection room.

Xiao Jin held her breath, listening intently to the sounds outside. The commotion grew louder, interspersed with screams, running sounds, and even a low growl.

"They're not coming for us." Xiao Jin quickly determined that the source of the disturbance was not inside the movie theater, but outside.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but did not let her guard down.

"Let's go out and take a look." Xiao Jin stood up, picked up A Mo from the ground, and put him on her shoulder.

Amo skillfully circled Xiao Jin's neck, its slender tail tip gently resting on her shoulder.

Xiao Jin reached out and pushed open the door of the screening room, then quietly led Amo toward the exit of the movie theater.

The cinema corridor was dimly lit, with only a few faint rays of morning light filtering in through the broken windows.

It's five o'clock in the morning, and it's already bright outside.

Xiao Jin's steps were light and swift, moving as silently as a cat. Her ears twitched slightly, catching every sound outside.

"Help! Help!" A woman's scream came from outside, her voice filled with fear and despair.

Xiao Jin frowned and quickened her pace. She didn't intend to meddle, but she needed to know what was happening outside in order to decide her next course of action.

When she left the movie theater and looked down at the mall from the rooftop, the sight before her made Xiao Jin's pupils shrink.

On the first floor of the mall, a group of mutated creatures were frantically chasing several players.

The mutated creatures were enormous, resembling wolves, but their skin was a strange grayish-green, their eyes were scarlet, and their fangs were exposed; they had clearly lost their minds.

"It's a pack of mutated wolves!" Xiao Jin quickly glanced at them.

Wolves are pack animals, so there were more than a dozen of them below, but there were only four players, two men and two women. The shouts earlier were made by one of the female players.

It's unclear how long they were chased, but the players were clearly exhausted.

Upon closer inspection, their bodies were covered in wounds, and their clothes were stained with blood.

Just then, one of the female players was pounced on by a mutated wolf and knocked to the ground. She reached out her hand in fear to her companion for help.

"Help...help me!" The female player struggled desperately, but her strength was no match for the mutated wolf.

The other three players turned around and saw the female player under the mutated wolf. A struggle flashed in their eyes, but they still turned and ran away.

"Aaaaaah!!" The next second, a series of shrill screams echoed throughout the entire space.
