As soon as it entered the conference room, the charred corpse became particularly excited, its small steps quickening considerably as it headed straight for the explosives on the table.

Yun Jian grabbed his hand and warned, "You can eat the explosives, but you have to answer some questions for me honestly after you finish eating them."

The charred corpse clearly understood human speech, nodding repeatedly.

Yun Jian took two steps forward, and the charred corpse plunged headfirst into the explosives, sucking up a good amount of gas.

Half an hour later...

The charred corpse was still absorbing the energy.

An hour later, the charred corpse was still desperately inhaling the smoke.

Bai Yu joked, "Could it be that it's been smothered to death? There's been no sound for so long."

Yun Jian tugged on the rope, and the charred corpse reluctantly raised its head.

Yun Jian examined the changes in the charred corpse. It was still dark and murky, but it looked noticeably more alert than before, and even its facial features had become the normal size and proportion of a human.

Bai Yu was startled. "If you didn't look closely, you'd think he was a Black person!"

Yun Jian first laid out the energy storage ball, then took a small pebble and released the white mist inside. The charred corpse was so frightened that it took several steps back. Before retreating, it didn't forget to smuggle a handful of explosives from the table.

Seeing his reaction, Yunjian was already more than half certain.

She asked, "Can you nod or shake your head?"

The charred corpse nodded.

Yun Jian breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they could communicate.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The charred corpse nodded, pointed to the energy storage ball in Yun Jian's hand, and then mumbled something.

Yun Jian subconsciously turned the beast language ring, and suddenly heard unclear words in his ears: "Because... there are many fierce ones."

Yun Jian was taken aback. She could hear some of the charred corpse's words, though incomplete, it was still a great improvement!

So he threw another bag of explosives at the charred corpse, saying, "Suck it first, then I'll ask you questions."

The charred corpse was overjoyed and lay down on the ground, pouring the explosives onto its face.

Bai Yu: "..."

That posture makes him look like a drug addict.

As night fell, the charred corpse finally finished absorbing the explosives Yun Jian had given it.

As expected, Yun Jian discovered that the charred corpse's facial features were almost human-like; the eyes were no longer empty sockets, but had eyeballs.

The mouth is no longer a simple gap; it has the shape of lips, and the teeth are no longer sharp fangs but are flatter.

Bai Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, "Good heavens, if their wings atrophy, wouldn't they be no different from humans?"

Upon hearing this, the charred corpse immediately covered its wings, affectionately patted them a couple of times, and then said something to Bai Yu, but judging from its expression, it was definitely not something nice.

Bai Yu didn't ask any questions, but instead cheered Yun Jian on, "Don't worry, as long as you behave, there's plenty of explosives. And as you've seen, we have no shortage of white mist and energy storage spheres."

Upon hearing those two names, the charred corpse couldn't help but flinch.

Yun asked it, "We haven't encountered any other charred corpses when we returned to camp these past two days. Where have you all been? Are you up to something again?"

The charred corpse quickly waved its hand, and Yun Jian heard its words clearly through the beast language ring.

"No, no, you didn't encounter any charred corpses. It's purely because we all avoid you. Every brother who encounters you is severely injured. Not to mention the dead, some of the intelligence that was finally generated was almost destroyed by your electric shock. You are fast and have many energy storage orbs. Once you target us, there is no way to escape. We can't afford to offend you, so we can only hide."

After hearing the reason, Yun Jian: "..."

Was it because she was too fierce?

"You're charred corpses, can you stop being so cowardly?"

Charred Corpse: "But you are Yun Jian, the great demon..."

Yun Jian was speechless; her infamous reputation had actually spread to the horde of charred corpses.

[Haha, that pitiful little face of the charred corpse is hilarious!]

[Yun Jian: I'm clearly just a cute girl, who said I'm a big demon?]

[In the eyes of the charred corpse, Yun Jian and the player might be two different species!]

When the ring was translating the charred corpse's words, Yun Jian turned on the speakerphone. At this moment, Bai Yu and the others in the conference room had rather interesting expressions.

Xiao Zhen looked at Yun Jian with admiration and smiled, "My sister Yun is amazing!"

Bai Yu twitched his lips. "That's outrageous??"

Skipping over that question, Yun Jian pointed to the white mist, "This thing will harm you, right?"

The charred corpse nodded: "That's right, this white mist is corrosive to us, not only to our bodies, but also to our minds."

"If that's the case, then why do you keep going into the white mist to probe it? Are you looking for something?"

At this point, the charred corpse lowered its head and remained silent.

Yun Jian frowned. "Not going to talk?"

She picked up the energy storage ball, pressed the handle, and stabbed it into the charred corpse. The corpse quickly took two steps back to avoid it, looking at Yun Jian with a terrified expression.

"That was just a warning. You'd better think carefully about whether you want to talk. Do you think I won't kill you just because I brought you back to camp?"

The charred corpse stared intently at Yun Jian, seemingly hesitant.

Yun Jian had no choice but to say again, "I can bring you back to the camp, or I can bring other charred corpses back to the camp. You are not irreplaceable."

After saying that, Yun Jian pointed to the explosives again, "But if you tell me how much explosives you need, we'll have as much as you want."

The charred corpse looked at the explosive pack and couldn't help but lick its lips.

Yun Jian played with the pebbles, then picked one out and held it in front of the charred corpse. "Guess if this contains white mist or a storage ball of electricity?"

The more he talked, the closer the pebble got to the charred corpse.

The charred corpse didn't want to guess at all; it didn't like any of them.

Under Yun Jian's repeated threats and inducements, Jiao Shi finally couldn't hold back and revealed his true colors.

As soon as he moved, a virtual panel appeared in front of him, but instead of displaying values ​​like health and vitality, it showed intelligence and evolution level.

Its interface is very similar to the player's control panel.

Everyone in the conference room was stunned when they saw this.

Bai Yu blurted out, "Holy crap! Don't tell me you guys are players too, and you have quests too!"

After saying that, he felt it was impossible and scratched his head in frustration, "What the hell? How can this be so weird!"

Yun Jian concealed the shock in his eyes and gestured for the charred corpse to swipe the panel.

"Wow, you guys actually have a mission!"

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, he immediately exclaimed in a shrill voice, "What? Your mission is to eliminate all the human players in the game? Are you kidding me? What is the system trying to do?"

Even the usually composed Yun Jian couldn't help but lose her composure slightly when she saw this mission.

In this way, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the players and the charred corpses.

It's like raising a venomous insect; either the player survives to the end, or the charred corpse survives to the end.

Yun Jian took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Are all the charred corpses given the same mission?"

The charred corpse slowly nodded.

Bai Yu slammed his hand on the table in anger, "Is the system trying to kill us?!"
