Chapter 119 Copy



Chapter 119 Copy

The unique copy finally changed after a few days, willing to reveal its current class to everyone.

In the video, the black fog that was under constant surveillance was curled up quietly, and suddenly trembled hideously at a certain moment. The thick fog spread out, like a strong yawn, and quickly shrank back.

But its shape changed rapidly in just a few seconds, and the original half-gray mist was enveloped by a deeper black. The energy fluctuations generated by the class attracted the attention of the instrument. The black fog stood there silently, spreading and condensing on the constantly undulating shape, making people inexplicably see a huge smiling face, as if welcoming the arrival of others.

It looks very weird.

The senior executives who received the video had sullen faces.

"So it's just a normal B-rank in the end? I thought it would be some unprecedented high-level difficulty."

"That being said, wouldn't it be better if it was B-level? Otherwise it would be even more troublesome."

"You're already thinking about which team to send? This is obviously a problem. I think it's better to take a long-term view."

"Ah, I agree with the long-term plan."

"After all, the spread of the copies is not very fast. We can observe it for the next two days."

But the reality is obviously very different from what we imagined.

The black fog began to spread at a much faster rate than usual, and in just two days it had covered a larger area. The tents stationed nearby were almost swallowed up. It was only because alarm bells started ringing in the employees' heads that they woke up before they died and fled in a panic, clutching the documents.

The mist was whistling and dancing, with faintly visible tentacles swallowing up the air. It was so dark and thick that it seemed to be dripping with ink, and in people's eyes it looked like a series of exaggerated and tear-jerking smiles.

It was upgraded to A-level.

This incident caused a sensation among the top government officials. They urgently shut down other information channels and kept this shocking news strictly confined to the small conference room and the communications to other high-level guilds.

"I said this copy is different! This is definitely a trick used by those bastards in the Dark Nest to plot against us!" The table shook after being slapped hard. The old man roared in a hoarse voice, regardless of the pain and numbness in his palms.

Then he was given a stern look by his colleagues.

"Are you still not clear-headed at this time?!" A majestic and heavy female voice sounded, "The Dark Nest is obviously not capable of this. The black fog fell from the sky. It is no different from other copies and cannot be forged."

"We are here to solve the problem, not to aggravate it. Being angry is the most incompetent behavior!"

The old man remained silent, pretending to be mute with his dark, wrinkled face.

But no one would pay attention to him at this time.

As a leader, the first thing you need is calmness and decision-making ability at the critical moment of an incident. No one would dream of controlling all directions of events, as that is simply not something that a person can do.

But making use of the necessary resources to obtain as many clues as possible is something they can control. Therefore, in addition to the panic after hearing the news, everyone also had more or less guesses.

“If the world is like a game.”

The officer, who had been silent since taking his seat, suddenly spoke.

"Does this unique copy look like a little easter egg specially added to the game?"

Yeah, games.

The conference room fell into silence and everyone looked unhappy.

It's like an ordinary large-scale game was forcibly inserted with a mod, which instantly changed the direction of the game and the world illustrations. Whether it was the black fog or the various superpowers that only existed in novels in the past, they all invaded the human vision in an irresistible form on that day.

The dungeon is the negative buff that must be cleared in order to upgrade and survive.

The Dark Nest is the villain boss that must be defeated in the game.

The enhanced abilities gained after clearing a dungeon is normal experience gain, and the dropped items are well-deserved rewards for winning.

Human beings are nothing but victims who are forced into this game. They don't even have the time to think about why this happens. They are trapped in an aimless escape and have been trying their best to survive ever since.

"It's been five years since the apocalypse." The officer continued, "According to the general progress of the game, it's considered the middle stage. So it makes sense that there are Easter eggs."

“…”

No one responded in the conference room for a moment. Everyone gritted their teeth, secretly hating this malicious fact, but there was nothing they could do.

After a long while, someone spoke in a trembling voice, "Is this really the so-called Easter egg?"

It just sounds nice.

An unexpected unknown, a fog that cannot be cleared at any price. Beneath the malice is perhaps an even deeper malice, intimidating those who are at a loss outside and devouring those who are unable to escape inside.

What is alarming is that the black fog is still spreading outwards, and the copy is also stirring at the A-level, waiting for the moment to be upgraded to the S-level.

There was no time to hesitate. Countless hands pushed them forward, regardless of whether there was a cliff or flat ground ahead.

"According to normal judgment and decision-making, let the assigned special ability team go and clean up."

——

The atmosphere in the government today is very harmonious.

The ordinary people who were specially recruited were working attentively at their workstations. The staff in the surrounding areas had already learned the reason from the group and now they had calmed down and planned to deal with them during their break.

"I didn't expect that there are energy-affinity bodies among ordinary people... It's amazing no matter how I think about it. I feel like I missed out on a billion when I didn't know about it before!"

This is the consensus of everyone in the work group.

But what is more significant than words is what is actually felt in reality.

More energy than ever before was attracted to this area, blending with the air to become oxygen for people. Every time a psychic took a deep breath, he could feel the intimacy between his internal powers and the outside world. If accumulated over many years, maybe you can improve your abilities without leaving the dungeon.

The miserable workplace suddenly turned into a warm bed where I felt truly comfortable. I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad.

“The air smells good today.”

On the way to the office, Si Yuan took a deep breath and sighed with satisfaction.

Because Qi Heng had awakened and recuperated during the past two days, his complexion had become much rosier, and the other two were no exception. Of course, this is definitely not the captain's credit for replenishing the soup, even if it is, we have to say it is not the case.

Ye Yunhe sipped the soy milk in his mouth: "I feel like the work atmosphere has changed today. I can actually feel a terrifying force when I pass by that group of people."

She looked uneasy. "It's already exciting enough. Are these people going to surpass history again? Then I will have to be busy too."

"You don't have to worry about that." Lin Muyu smiled reassuringly, "After all, we are just going to take on the mission now, and we have already started to get busy."

"..."Ye Yunhe chose to continue sipping the soy milk.

Qi Heng was sandwiched between several people and walked slowly. He still had a calm expression on his face, and only slightly raised the corners of his lips when his teammates were bickering.

When they just woke up in the morning, the superior sent a message as if by remote induction, and as usual, asked them in a frivolous tone to come to the office to discuss the content of the next copy in detail.

It sounds like a difficult job.

The four of them quickly washed up and had breakfast, then walked towards the familiar office together. Along the way, they only felt a slight but substantial change in the air. Before they had time to take a few more breaths to feel it carefully, they had already arrived at the door of their destination.

Lin Muyu knocked on the door, and the officer inside said, "Come in." He grasped the door handle, pushed the door open, and walked into the room first.

The officer was concentrating on reading the contents of the document with a heavy expression on his face. He did not immediately show his signature smile to the four people. Instead, he slowly raised his head only after he finished reading the black and white words on the paper.

Si and An silently stopped laughing.

It seems that this is not an easy job, and it is even quite dangerous.

The officer handed over the document: "You should remember the copy that caused the riot not long ago."

The seemingly unreliable person was also the first one to look gloomy when the important event came. The frivolous tone was gone, and his eyes were filled with complicated thoughts, mixed with a few traces of worry.

Lin Muyu took the document and looked at it carefully with the others. The more they looked, the more serious their expressions became.

"It has been upgraded from B-level to A-level, and is now absorbing energy at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person, slowly spreading outward every minute and every second. If we don't solve it quickly, I'm afraid it will be upgraded again within three days—"

"Become S-rank, or even higher."

The commander watched them quietly.

"We tried to send the highest-level psychic in the government to clean it up, but she was blocked from entering the dungeon. This dungeon even has a special class restriction, and only psychics with the same strength as it are allowed to enter."

"So, the top management chose us." Qi Heng's gaze was fixed on the last period on the document, and he lowered his head with an unclear expression.

The commander was silent for a moment.

"Yes," he sighed.

"Because you are the most powerful team in this class. Whether it is my ability or reality, this point cannot be denied - you are the most suitable candidates."

The room fell silent, with only the gentle sound of fingertips rubbing against white paper and the rising and falling, yet overlapping sounds of everyone's breathing.

“This is what we should do.”

Lin Muyu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. He raised his head, the gentle smile on his lips still unchanged: "Since it is unknown, then go and blow away the fog."

"Yes, we are the champions of the Battle of Zhuolu! If we don't know about this powerful title, who will? We will definitely win!" Si Yu'an hummed and smiled crookedly, looking cocky and confident, "Just wait and see, sir."

"Remember to raise our wages. I want twice as much rest time when I come back." Ye Yunhe added with drooping eyelids.

The young boy didn't say anything, so he was stared at by the four people in the room. So he cleared his throat and spoke calmly despite the burning gaze: "Yeah, I'll be back."

"Don't worry." His face was calm, but his tone revealed an inexplicable confidence. "This is my first mission after joining the government. Since this world is so much like a game, I will definitely have a novice protection period."

"So don't worry, the copy will be cleaned up, and we will be able to come back."

The commander snorted.

He rubbed his eyelids. His temples were sore from staying up all night, but he smiled for the first time that day, forcing out a laugh from his hoarse voice.

"That's great." The young man raised his lips and pressed his eyebrows helplessly, "Yes... I will come back, I will definitely come back, what am I thinking about."

"Then let's do as before. I wish you a safe journey."

"all the best."

——

The task of cleaning up the copy is urgent.

Almost an hour after the notification, the four people were teleported to the nearby area by several positioning teleportation symbols, and then loaded into a car and brought to the front of the copy in one breath.

There are two rescue teams following closely behind us, with maximum tolerance and perfect safety.

Qi Heng patted his leggings bag, and the bags filled with various medicines suddenly made a crisp sound of bottles colliding. He then patted the emergency bag tied to his upper arm, and the tools used for communication and other things inside also made a dull sound.

The government was like an old mother who longed for her children to return home. It put tools everywhere on them and used all means to increase the survival rate of the four people.

Qi Heng patted his chest again, and the soft rag doll under his uniform was squeezed into a pancake, and a hint of death was revealed in his old buttons. The amulet contained in her stomach still radiated a soft warmth, and the patterns on the other wooden tablets continued to flicker as they were closer.

Ah, it's so heavy.

Ah, I feel so safe.

Qi Heng closed his eyes peacefully, intending to take a nap.

Si Yu'an covered his left chest and came over to whisper, "Xiao Heng... are you nervous now? I'm so nervous. I feel like I wasn't this nervous even when I took the college entrance examination. But I'm also looking forward to it. I didn't expect that I could become the best solution one day. Oh my God, you don't know..."

Qi Heng: ...

The young boy opened his eyes speechlessly, not even bothering to turn his face away, but he just let the young man's voice rise and fall in his voice. After all, if he didn't let the man vent, he would definitely be more nervous.

Ye Yunhe sat at the very side, wearing headphones and closing his eyes to rest, thus avoiding the situation of being verbally harassed. Lin Muyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed the situation here and glanced at Qi Heng in the rearview mirror, as if to encourage him.

The copy landed in the ruins of a dilapidated city, which looked strangely artistic when viewed from the window. The young boy sighed in his heart, listened quietly to the chattering in his ears that never stopped, and looked through the glass at the scenery moving at a steady speed.

Forget it, you don’t have to use your relaxing time for a nap.
