Chapter 404: Rusty City Strange Stories

After getting the key successfully, Xu Zhiyan took a few steps back. Unfortunately, before he could react, Gan Mi behind him blinked and spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"Well, fortunately, the skill strength is within the controllable range."

The conversation was to delay time. Less than two minutes later, Gan Mi regained some consciousness. It would take another ten minutes to fully recover. However, it seemed that she still could not use her skills during this period.

His words made the air heavy again.

The death of the rule monster, the end of the cooperation, Xu Zhiyan's snatching behavior... everything made the final reward settlement unpredictable.

Before the confrontation between the two ended, the game panel popped up.

[Game core crash detected. ]

[The dungeon will open a logout channel in one hour. Survivors, please be prepared to leave. ]

The death of the new creation foreshadowed the failure of the main system's final counterattack against the mimic. It was a cold announcement without any emotion.

But this was of no use to the two people who killed the new creation.

Xu Zhiyan stopped and stepped back from the door.

Gan Mi was a little surprised.

"I'm not fully recovered yet, why don't you run first?"

He said this without taking Xu Zhiyan's movement speed into consideration at all.

Xu Zhiyan was not annoyed either.

"You can't run away, so why not?"

It took more than half an hour to get here from the ground. If he didn't rely on Gan Mi's help, it would take about twenty minutes to get up even if he knew other transportation channels.

It is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to trap Gan Mi for a long time relying solely on the little slug's skills.

Well, it’s just that the time is so short, it’s indeed a bit unexpected.

"If Boss Gan is willing to give me the Key of the End as a reward, then I will unlock the skill and we will all be happy." Xu Zhiyan spoke after thinking for a while.

Gan Mi listened and sneered.

"I will be able to move freely soon even if you don't unlock the skills."

The turbid mucus at the feet had dried up, with the broken body parts soaked in it, and only the bloodstains were still clear.

"Unless you come and kill me now... No, you won't." Gan Mi smiled and said with certainty: "You won't kill me."

He slowly moved his neck, veins popped out in his neck, and blood began to flow faster.

"Oh?" Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and leaned against the half-human-height gold statue.

"How can you be sure I won't kill you?"

He seemed to have thought of something funny, and his shoulders couldn't help but tremble twice.

"Do you think I want Utari's memories that much? Maybe if you say you'll betray me, the chances of me letting you go will be higher."

As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan walked forward, took out a folding knife from his pocket, and put the tip of the knife against Gan Mi's neck.

The blade isn't too sharp, but it's more than enough to kill someone.

Only when you can't use the props can you show how useful the things you pick up in the dungeon are.

"I will never be stuck on what happened," he said slowly and firmly.

Xu Zhiyan knew what he was doing.

The dark alley forces targeting the mimics have almost disappeared and been absorbed by the safe house, and the main system has also been completely eliminated. From now on, the mimics will be the only dominant force and cannot be stopped.

If he couldn't enter the Final Dungeon and win, then everything would go wrong.

He has no way out.

He must succeed.

...The worst result is that Gan Mi will ultimately be unable to be used by him, so a dead mimetic will be much easier to deal with than a living one.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gan Mi suddenly laughed softly.

"Xu Zhiyan, you won't kill me."

"I have done countless bad things in my life and killed many people, but I have never done anything to let you down, Xu Zhiyan."

He stared straight into the young man's eyes, and a flash of out-of-control emotions flashed across his eyes.

Gan Mi couldn't remember when he noticed Xu Zhiyan, maybe it was during the time they were arguing in the sanatorium, or maybe it was after he became a trader... No, none of those!

He didn't even need to recall. He just closed his eyes and returned to that ordinary night in the nightmare neighborhood.

The newcomer with a million points who could shut up a mad dog was not afraid after hearing his death declaration. Instead, he looked at him with fiery eyes.

'My characteristic is greed'

'As long as you give me enough benefits, I can betray anonymity at any time.'

Gan Mi still remembers clearly what Xu Zhiyan said at that time, not missing a word.

The young man who set a clear price for himself was wantonly showing off his greed that was engraved into his bones. The other party was like a scorching flame burning his soul.

Vaguely remembering that every time he was invited to join the club, he was rejected. At that time, Gan Mi always felt that Xu Zhiyan was a liar and that those words were just a way to escape. Now that he thought about it, neither he nor Yan Chengfan could offer more benefits than what He gave...

The confused thoughts gathered.

As if realizing his own gaffe, Gan Mi quickly calmed down, and his expression was much calmer when he spoke again.

"Don't rush to deny it. Of course, the main reason you didn't kill me is because you are still thinking about it. You want to get more from me."

Gan Mi knew very well that Xu Zhiyan was not someone who would be easily impressed, and he was more keen on pursuing benefits than anyone else.

It seems a little funny, but even though he was being pointed at with a knife, he was attracted by this extreme greed.

Xu Zhiyan looked back expressionlessly.

In the end, he put away the dagger.

"Even if I don't kill you, someone else will."

Having obtained the qualification for the Final Dungeon, he has received sufficient rewards and is invincible.

The rule monster is dead, and it will take time for the vengeful ghost to go underground. Xinan should be back soon...

Having given up the idea of getting Gan Mi to join the group, Xu Zhiyan spoke again in a businesslike manner and actually analyzed Gan Mi's mission thoroughly.

"You mentioned Mission 1 earlier, which means you have more than one mission."

It's no secret that the Utopia wants to kill Xinan. Since Xinan was once a backup container and also carried some of the influence of ghosts and gods on Yan Chengfan, the reason why the No. 1 on the list was so angry that he even pulled out his tongue at a high price must be that there must be some uncontrollable factors involved.

"Your mission 2 is to kill Xinan."

Xu Zhiyan reached out and patted Gan Mi's shoulder. His fingertips touched the hideous wound, leaving a trace of blood.

He lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, then spoke lightly.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete Mission 2 in this state, right?"

It was obviously the same person, and obviously the same voice, but Gan Mi could tell that Xu Zhiyan had completely given up the idea of winning him over.

He felt that the air around him was a little thin.

A suffocating and dizzy feeling came quietly, and my heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.

"You will not get involved in my dispute with Xinan."

Gan Mi heard herself speaking in a calm voice.

"His spirit is indeed on the verge of collapse. It is true that he is mentally ill and has killed someone. You are not a saint. You will not save him."

Just as Xu Zhiyan assigned him the task, he could also clearly analyze Xu Zhiyan's next move.

"The best outcome for you is that you get Uta and the key, and Xinan and I die here."

As he spoke, Gan Mi began to laugh.

"But you know this is difficult. Only one of him and I can survive, and it's most likely me."

He did not deny the key and seemed to have given up the option of getting it back.

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and stared into Gan Mi's eyes, as if he wanted to see more information from the other's eyes.

Gan Mi generously let the other party look at her, and said: "If you unlock the skill, I will send you back to the ground. When you leave the dungeon, someone will send you the key to unlock Uta. You know, I have never lied to you."

The trust accumulated over the long transactions finally came in handy.

His pupils moved slightly, and he glanced in the direction of the door, emphasizing: "If you don't unlock the skill, if you can't kill the mad dog, you won't get the memory."

Gan Mi's tone became much more serious again.

"I don't want anything to go wrong with my plan."

Xu Zhiyan was suddenly stunned.

He realized that there seemed to be a message that the other party wanted to convey in his words.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to understand the meaning of Gan Mi's words.

The person who delivered the key to Wuta was arranged in advance, but if Gan Mi thought he could leave the dungeon alive, why did he arrange for someone to deliver the key to him? Wouldn't it be fine if he did it himself? And why did he add that he would not lie to him after saying that...

Only one conclusion can hold.

Gan Mi was certain that he would die in this copy, and the person who would deliver the key to Uta was also arranged in advance.

Xu Zhiyan wanted to ask, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.

Now that there is no live broadcast, no one can see the situation in the copy. The only way Gan Mi can convey information so obscurely is if Yan Chengfan can see the situation in the copy.

Xu Zhiyan didn't think any further.

"Deal," he said.

"I will unlock your skills as a reward for the Key of the End... but you don't have to send me back to the ground. We still have time."

He retreated to the door, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. Listening to footsteps coming from afar, Xu Zhiyan put away the Slug King Spirit.

The thin mist disappeared completely.

Finally regaining his freedom, Gan Mi stretched his stiff body.

He really kept his word.

"The End Dungeon is not a good place to go."

Gan Mi tacitly agreed to Xu Zhiyan taking the key away. As if she had come to her senses, she suddenly raised her lips and urged, "I suggest you go up as soon as possible."

He raised his hand and pushed a transparent foam-like bubble towards Xu Zhiyan.

Hearing Xinan's footsteps approaching, Gan Mi smiled.

"Xu Zhiyan, since you are so naive, I will tell you one more thing."

"The mission of the Utopia this time is not only to kill the new creatures and Xinan, but also to eliminate all factors that may get out of control."

He spoke slowly, flexing his arms, actively preparing for the next battle.

"I'm not the only mimic coming to Utopia this time."

"Jiang Huai Que got the power of the clown. He is also one of the targets of the mission. However, his luck was unexpectedly good this time. The dog owner was unlucky. Before we lost contact, Wang Ying happened to meet him..."

Gan Mi narrowed his eyes and smiled, watching Xu Zhiyan's expression gradually become solemn as he spoke, and then he showed a happy expression.

However, he is the only one who knows the bitterness beneath the joy.

"Guess why I told you the conspiracy of the main system so early and cut off your external contacts?"

If they don't do this, the other party will soon receive news about the ghost lion from their companions.

"If you go now, you might be able to collect the bodies of your teammates."

He didn't want Xu Zhiyan to meet Wang Ying head-on.

No one can beat it. Except Yan Chengfan, no one can beat the ghost lion without using props. If it's just a matter of fighting strength, even he and Xu Yan can't do it.

The young man at the door seemed to be stunned by the news and stood there motionless.

Seeing this, Gan Mi asked in the tone of a bystander.

"Xu Zhiyan, would you feel pain if they died?"

Yes, he knew the other party would.

The death of a close friend would bring a huge mental blow. It would be great if Xu Zhiyan could never recover from the blow.

He slowly unbuttoned his bloodstained shirt. The torn fabric no longer looked like its original expensiveness. Gan Mi's bare chest was still stained with blood, and his gaze had already moved away from Xu Zhiyan and fell on the entrance.

The End dungeon has a limit on the number of people who can participate. As long as Jin Sheng, Jiang Huaique and others die, Xu Zhiyan will not be able to participate in the dungeon.

Only in this way can he prove his loyalty to the ideal country; only in this way can Yan Chengfan believe that he has no ulterior motives; only in this way can Xu Zhiyan escape from this vortex...

Gan Mi couldn't help but think that it would be nice if Xu Zhiyan could hate him.

Xinan has reached the door.

The intense battle confused his mind again.

Gan Mi felt that she was ready for the battle, but her attention was still drawn away the moment Xu Zhiyan turned around.

He wanted to ask Xu Zhiyan many questions.

Now it seems that there is no chance.
