While everyone else was taking action, Yangshan was the only one standing by the railing smoking. Something was definitely amiss. Yangshan said he just wanted to collect the day rewards, but who would really believe that?

"Yangshan?"

"What are you talking about? I'm your boss, Derek!"

There is an over 80% chance that the person in front of me is Yang Shan, but whoever he is, he can never be Dirik!

This "mission" was designed from the very beginning to kill them!

Let's assume for now that the person in front of us is Yangshan!

To be honest, Wips has never paid much attention to Yangshan. What is certain is that Yangshan's ability leaves behind a fake body, and the live broadcast perspective will always follow the fake body. Otherwise, there would definitely be an observer to remind him, and his disguise would lose its meaning.

The current problem is whether Yangshan's disguise is merely a copy of his appearance or has directly taken over Dirlik's body. If it's the latter, Wips won't be able to defeat him!

Footsteps came from the bottom of the spiral staircase; Sirius was gradually approaching them!

“You know how strong that guy down there is!” Wips gritted his teeth. “If you don’t get out of the way, we’re all going to die!”

Dirick still didn't move aside, but instead smiled at him.

"You bastard!"

Wips threw a punch at Dirick!

But because he was carrying Dejov on his back, Dirik easily caught the punch!

"What, now subordinates dare to hit their superiors?"

"Heh, if you really are my boss."

Dejov turned his head to look back and could already vaguely see Sirius's figure!

At this rate, everyone will die at Sirius's hands in less than half a minute!

Although Dejov could use his ability again to temporarily incapacitate Sirius, Dirik blocked the stairwell, preventing anyone from leaving!

"Dejov, don't use your abilities yet!"

Wips suddenly stopped Dejov!

"What, you want to die together with him? That's true... even if you use your abilities, it's just buying time."

“What are you talking about? He’s not worth us dying together with him.” Wips put away his serious expression. “Speaking of which, you don’t even know what my new talent is.”

"Sigh, it seems like trying to save talent attempts is still impossible."

Dirik wanted to use others to kill them, and the fact that Dejouf's abilities had failed meant that he was still a ghost storyteller and could not kill people on his own initiative!

Sirius was already close to the three of them. Although he was expressionless, his killing intent was still undeniable!

"Dejov! Hold on tight!" Wips shouted. "Let's go!"

The space flickered, and the two disappeared instantly. By the time Dejov realized what was happening, they were already back in Dirik's office.

"You're... teleporting? And the distance is this far?"

"It's not exactly teleportation..."

Wips didn't say much, he was still streaming.

[SS-Rank Talent: Spatial Imprint]

[Effect: Limited to five uses per world. The user can leave a spatial imprint on a location or an object, which lasts for one hour. Within one hour, the user can activate the ability again (this time it does not count as an attempt) to return to the location or teleport the object to within 10 meters of the user. If it is not triggered again within one hour, one attempt will be refunded. The user can only leave one spatial imprint at a time.]

It's okay, as long as I run fast enough, the danger can't catch me.

Wips had anticipated this and left a mark in Dirlik's office. He hadn't stopped Dejov from using his abilities before because he still had doubts about the mission and wanted to see if killing the black-clad crew member would trigger any special events. Now it seems like it was a trap!

Only Dirick and Sirius remained at the spiral staircase.

“Dirik…” Sirius looked at his former colleague and narrowed his eyes. “No, you’re not Dirik. Who are you?”

“Who I am is unimportant.” Dirick stepped forward. “You want to deal with Planck? I can be your partner!”

"I'm sure you won't refuse me, right?"

Dirick stopped in his tracks and looked down at his abdomen in disbelief.

Sirius's right hand transformed into a tentacle and pierced through his body!

"You are not trustworthy, and I already have a business partner."

A blood-stained body fell down the spiral staircase!

Back in Derick's office, Wips and his companion were at a loss for what to do next. Derick was untrustworthy, and the tasks he assigned were utter nonsense. But if that was the case, how could they get the positions and the keys?

Dejouf sighed helplessly, "Weips, since this path is blocked, why don't we look elsewhere?"

“The problem is, if there really is only one key to the crew’s route, and none of us go to get it, then we’ll only end up with three keys,” Wips said with a wry smile. “But we have to give Planck four keys!”

If everyone only has three keys in total, what's the difference between that and having no keys at all?

"But without Dirick, it seems we have no choice but to go to Planck."

“No, perhaps there’s another privilege for the crew that we’ve all overlooked.” Weps stood up and paced around the room. “Think carefully about the second rule!”

[Rule 2: You can completely trust the crew members wearing white uniforms. Crew members in blue uniforms serve VIPs only, and crew members in red uniforms serve crew members only. Please note that there are no crew members wearing black uniforms. If you encounter such a person, please stay away from him as much as possible.]

That's right, they've already seen crew members in white, blue, and even black, but there's still no trace of the one crew member in red!

"The red-clad crew members serve only the crew..."

"How do we summon the crew members in red?"

"For this kind of thing, you just need to ask the other crew members in white!"

Dejov was also able to move around with difficulty. Without hesitation, the two quickly inquired from the other white-clad crew members about how to call the red-clad crew members and successfully made contact with them!

"So, gentlemen, what brings you here? Do you need any help?"

The crew member in red politely inquired about the two men's situation.

“I do have something to ask you,” Wips coughed lightly. “Do you know where the key is?”

"The key? Which key? The warehouse key?"

"No, it's the four keys that Captain Planck needs!"

“Captain Planck?” The red-clad crew member nodded. “Since you’ve come to ask me, you must be looking for the Key of Fire.”

"In that case, are you ready?"

Are you ready for promotion training?
