Jiang Lele was drawn into a horror world. As soon as she entered the instance, she was informed: "In this world, you can only survive by continuously clearing instances." In a guest room of...
Chapter 35
The copy is in the office of the Director of the Supervision Department.
"Boss, the dungeon's most severely punished prisoner, Jiang Wubai, just now—"
Xu Zhongguo slowly stood up and raised his hand to signal, "I already know. I will handle this matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Xiang Bai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
"Just keep busy with the work at hand." Xu Zhongguo's tone remained steady.
Seeing Xu Zhongguo so calm about this matter, Xiang Baixin also regained his composure.
He had never seen Boss Xu show any panic expression. No matter how big the trouble was, as long as Boss Xu was there, everything could be settled smoothly.
He said hello to Bai and left the office.
In the office, Xu Zhongguo took out a file from the drawer. A two-inch photo was printed above the data form. The person in the photo was Jiang Lele.
Xu Zhongguo looked at the two-inch photo, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Lele returned to the work locker room and was about to open the cabinet to change into her work clothes when she lowered her head and caught a glimpse of her work clothes from the corner of her eye. She found that they had been completely stained with blood without her knowing when.
A strange bright red color appeared on the work clothes, as if they were cursed, and black air currents continued to emit from the edges of the bloody clothes.
Jiang Lele frowned and raised his hand to tear off his work clothes.
Somehow, the work clothes seemed to be stuck to her body and could not be pulled off no matter how hard she pulled.
At this moment, a pool of blood oozed out from the corner of the room.
The bright red blood continued to flow along the floor, extending to Jiang Lele's feet.
A thick, bloody smell filled the room.
Jiang Lele felt suffocated, as if someone was strangling her neck.
She raised her hands, trying to slap away the hands that were strangling her neck.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Host, you are cursed!" Xiaogua suddenly screamed and woke Jiang Lele.
Jiang Lele was stunned for a moment, and looked in the full-length mirror opposite her. It turned out that it was her own hands that were strangling her neck.
Did she just...have hallucinations?
Jiang Lele frowned and looked at his work clothes.
In fact, it did not turn into a bloody shirt. The red wine stain on it was still just a small piece. All the images just now should have been affected by illusions.
"If I'm not mistaken, the overalls you're wearing actually have the ability to shield against curses and illusions. However, if they become damaged or soiled, they lose their protective effect."
No wonder Diana had always stressed the importance of wearing work clothes no matter what.
Jiang Lele felt something was wrong. "What did you mean by 'I was cursed'?"
Xiaogua: "It was only after you were struck by the cursed hallucination that I realized that this sanatorium had been cursed for some reason. Anyone who enters this sanatorium is likely to be entangled by the cursed hallucination."
"But dungeon bosses are unaffected."
Jiang Lele quickly changed into her new work clothes. After changing her clothes, the chill that had been lingering around her disappeared in an instant.
[Warning! Warning! A serious criminal has escaped from the dungeon's Supervision Department. Players and dungeon NPC staff, please remain vigilant at all times!]
[Warning! Warning! There is... in the copy of the Supervision Department]
Emergency alarms sounded simultaneously in all the copy worlds, large and small.
It can be seen how serious the impact of Jiang Wubai's escape is.
"Host, do you want to hear some gossip about this escaped serious criminal? Let me tell you, this guy is a pervert, and his deeds are very exciting."
Xiaogua's teasing voice sounded again.
Jiang Lele closed the cabinet door and said, "Tell me."
Xiaogua couldn't wait to speak. "This escaped serious criminal is called Jiang Wubai. He was originally the boss of an extinction-level dungeon. Born in the dungeon, he had no parents, no love, and was a cold-hearted villain. But how should I put it? Jiang Wubai is a little different from other dungeon bosses. He is a monster who can feel human emotions, but he doesn't understand whether these emotions are good or bad."
"Until one day, Jiang Wubai felt that life in the dungeon world was too boring, and he suddenly became interested in trying to destroy the dungeon he was in. As a result, his bold action directly caused many dungeons to collapse and be scrapped one after another. Later, the dungeon supervision department was forced to send people to forcibly recruit Jiang Wubai."
Jiang Lele: "And then?"
Xiaogua chuckled, "Then, all the people sent out from the Supervision Department failed to be recruited. Eventually, there was really no other way, so the female leader of the Supervision Department personally stepped in to teach Jiang Wubai a lesson."
"The ending is a bad story. The female leader and Jiang Wubai fought a fierce battle, and both were injured. The female leader died from her injuries, and Jiang Wubai was also seriously injured and unable to resist. He was imprisoned in the dungeon by the other members of the dungeon inspection department."
Jiang Lele curled her lips.
I thought it was an interesting story, but...that's it?
At this point, Xiaogua started complaining again: "Let me tell you, after the female leader passed away, the dungeon inspection department was leaderless. The different factions fought for a long time, and finally a boss was promoted to the top. The dungeon inspection department temporarily returned to stability. But it was also from that time that dungeon bugs suddenly appeared frequently."
"Many people are suspecting that after the female leader passed away, no one could truly control the copy."
Jiang Lele's expression remained calm, and these things obviously did not affect her.
"Le Le." Chu Yue'er walked into the locker room. "Did you hear the alarm just now?"
Jiang Lele nodded, "I heard it."
Chu Yue'er: "Diana just suddenly informed us that the punishment for our group of players has ended early and asked us to leave as soon as possible. I guess she was also affected by this incident."
Jiang Lele was curious, "Are all the players going to leave?"
"Yeah." Chu Yue'er nodded, "And it's not just the players. It seems all the dungeon bosses who are currently in the hospital have to leave as well."
Jiang Lele and Chu Yueer came out of the dressing room.
I saw panicked players running around in the corridor.
Many low-level dungeon bosses were also mixed in, and they quickly evacuated towards the entrance of the sanatorium.
How could the escape of a serious criminal have such a big impact?
"Boom—"
A loud noise came from behind.
Jiang Lele turned around and saw the gorilla monster, whose body had expanded to the ceiling of the floor, walking towards them with Liu Yuze.
"Little sister, I think we'll have to miss our appointment to play mahjong. We can make an appointment next time if we have the chance."
Liu Yuze smiled slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
He was dressed in a dark green and white robe with an emerald jade pendant hanging around his waist. He had the temperament of a graceful young man, as elegant as jade.
However, neither he nor the gorilla monster stayed for long. After saying hello, they hurried towards the exit of the sanatorium.
Jiang Lele and Chu Yue'er looked at each other, turned around and left with the main group without stopping.
More and more players and dungeon bosses gathered at the entrance of the sanatorium.
Diana stood at the front of the hall and patiently explained, "Don't worry, everyone. We've already contacted the Inspection Department at the sanatorium. They'll be setting up a safety tunnel right here at the sanatorium to help everyone leave safely."
According to Diana, the cursed aura in the copy sanatorium suddenly intensified due to the escape of serious criminals, and the area outside the sanatorium was completely shrouded in the cursed aura, making it impossible for people to pass through normally. They could only temporarily build a safe tunnel to leave.
Could this curse be related to the escaped criminal?
Jiang Lele suddenly guessed.
While waiting for the safe tunnel to be built, Jiang Lele took out his mobile phone and clicked on the Green Bubble Forum.
This forum account was previously logged into by the female ghost, and the forum is also used internally by the NPCs themselves.
Soon, Jiang Lele discovered that there were several new posts in the forum.
1L: [It's over! Did that pervert Jiang Wubai escape? Are we going back to the era when Jiang Wubai ruled?]
2L: [Isn't it said that no dungeon boss can escape from the Supervision Department's dungeon? How did Jiang Wubai do it? Wasn't he seriously injured and unable to resist at all?]
3L: [It's over. All the NPCs in our normal dungeon have been ordered to stop working. It seems the impact this time is quite significant.]
In addition to these new posts discussing the current situation, some old posts have also been pushed up.
Some of them tell about Jiang Wubai's deeds before he was imprisoned in the dungeon.
[Oh my god, Jiang Wubai actually destroyed the extinction-level copy! ]
[Yes, yes, yes, our neighboring instance has also been affected. This is terrible.]
[I heard that the Instance Supervision Department has sent out several teams, but none of them have been able to subdue Jiang Wubai.]
For some reason, Jiang Wubai's behavior made Jiang Lele feel a little familiar.
"The safety tunnel has been opened. Everyone line up and evacuate the scene in an orderly manner!" Diana reminded everyone immediately after receiving the notification.
The temporary safety tunnel has slowly opened in the hall.
Jiang Lele put away his phone, joined the queue, and successfully walked into the safety tunnel.
Half a month later, the entire reincarnation world fell into a state of emergency preparation for war.
All dungeons below the difficult level have been suspended, and players who are temporarily unable to participate in the dungeons have all been taken in free of charge by the Samsara Inn.
It was a sunny day, inside Fort Alexander.
Another group of new tourists were brought to the castle for vacation.
Yang Yufei was in great spirits and was doing the math with a calculator.
With a few "clicks", Yang Yufei calculated all the income of the travel agency in the past two months, and her tone was very excited.
"Oh my goodness! Lele, after deducting the costs, we've earned a total of 660,000 points in the past two months!"
After the Zhen Piaoliang Plastic Surgery Hospital was bombed and scrapped, all the doctors and nurses were transferred to work at the travel agency.
At first, those high-ranking doctors were not convinced, thinking that using their noble hands to serve tourists was a disgrace to their status and reputation.
Later, in order to motivate employees to work hard, Yang Yufei developed a bonus commission system.
If an employee has good work performance and outstanding achievements, his monthly salary can be up to 100,000 points.
This system finally broke down the defenses of the doctors and nurses.
So, during these two months, the doctors and nurses worked like crazy to attract customers, and Dean Jia's performance was particularly outstanding. This month, he could get more than 70,000 yuan in bonuses and commissions alone.
Thanks to the efforts of this group of doctors, the travel agency's reputation and turnover are increasing significantly every day.
"Not bad." Jiang Lele commented.
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent shock came from deep in the earth.
All players, please note: a serious bug has occurred in the core dungeon system. Over the next few days, you may be inexplicably pulled into or ejected from dungeons. Please do not panic. The dungeon monitoring department has opened a player hotline. If you encounter any issues, please call the hotline immediately for assistance.
"This instance has been getting increasingly unstable lately. Something's happening every day. It feels like the end of the world is coming."
Yang Yufei shook her head speechlessly and complained.
Chu Yue'er took out a long sword and gently wiped the blade with a soft silk cloth. "It's not bad to be at the end of the world. Anyway, I stay in this dungeon every day and there's nothing to look forward to."
Su Rui was doing aerobics alone in her room. She clenched her fists when she suddenly felt a movement in the air.
She turned nervously to look at Jiang Lele and the other two, "Do you feel anything strange?"
Jiang Lele soon felt a strong sense of weightlessness, as if some powerful pulling force was sucking her into the air.
"Oh no! It seems like we are being sucked into the dungeon!" Yang Yufei was the first to react and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lele and the other three in the room were collectively sucked into the air with great force. A bottomless black hole slowly formed in the air and swallowed the four people in.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the players who have been invited to visit the Rose Manor. This dungeon is Extinction Level, and the clearance rate is 0%]
[Warm Tip: This dungeon is extremely difficult, and no player has successfully passed it yet. Please find your own strategy to pass it.]
