Yan Zi glanced at the people standing behind her with an ambiguous expression, unable to help but feel a little curious.
Why are you all standing so far back?
Yu Chihe was taken aback, somewhat confused by her meaning.
"I was just examining this door, is there a problem?"
Yan Zi looked at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"So, what problems have you discovered?"
Yu Chihe awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Not yet. It's because we were studying the gate that we didn't notice the unusual things about those treasure chests right away."
Yan Zi nodded, indicating that she understood his thoughts.
Then he turned his head and began searching for the key inch by inch.
There were three people locked inside the treasure chest.
While they were slowly searching, Yu Chihe began to ponder the door again.
Yan Zi caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, her face full of confusion.
She secretly slipped the cactus into her pocket and mentally told him, "Prickly Gourd, keep an eye on those people behind us. I think they're acting a bit strange. Be mindful of any energy fluctuations around us!"
Prickly Gourd: "Mission accomplished!"
Having explained the situation, she began to gradually investigate the strange things about the place.
As soon as Yan Zi entered, she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, one coming from the treasure chest and the other from the person behind her.
As she searched for her keys, she observed her surroundings and finally found a passage in a calendar hanging on the wall.
[The treasure chest will eat you! Run! It's a devil's deal!]
Yan Zi frowned, flicked her hand lightly, and the anti-aircraft hand fell down, tearing off a note.
She casually moved into the space and continued searching.
Just then, Yu Chihe suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed the calendar.
He asked softly, "Boss Yan Zi, have you found any clues?"
Yan Zi was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and shook her head.
"No, I just felt that this calendar was a bit out of place here, so I wanted to open it to see if there was anything wrong with it?"
Yu Chihe nodded seriously.
“When we came in last time, we also encountered something similar that was not meant to exist. My teammate disappeared on the spot after touching it.”
Yan Zi: "?"
Yu Chihe's words immediately made everyone withdraw their hands, and none of them dared to move.
Yan Zi stared straight at him: "?"
Yu Chihe smiled and explained, "I'm not saying you're in trouble, it's just that the situation is unclear right now, and touching things carelessly could easily cause an accident."
Yan Zi gave a slight twitch of her lips, said nothing more, and did not leave her seat. Instead, she put the calendar directly into her backpack.
She said, "I feel safe now!"
Everyone had a sudden flash of inspiration.
Immediately afterwards, they packed everything in the room into their backpacks.
Yu Chihe and the people behind him all had ashen faces.
Zhou Yan, not one to miss a good show, added, "Brother Yuchi, you should also put some things away. Although there are no values displayed, what's left here must be good stuff. Let's put them away first."
Yan Zi almost burst out laughing when she heard this.
The others also agreed.
What followed was like a gluttonous beast sweeping through, leaving nothing but desolation.
Yan Zi: "..."
Fortunately, her anti-aircraft skills were really useful, and despite being in high demand, she managed to get quite a few.
The room instantly became empty, and no one was affected.
Yan Zi was slightly surprised; he was indeed highly skilled and daring.
Zhou Yan leaned closer and asked earnestly, "Boss, I'm Feng Juan Canyun, do you remember me?"
Yan Zi nodded, and Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I just received quite a few good treasures. Can we exchange them for props after we get out?"
Yan Zi: "?" (Completely bewildered)
Upon hearing this, the others also crowded around, each asking questions.
Yan Zi was both amused and exasperated, but she agreed nonetheless.
"Let's see after we get out. If you want to make a deal then, you can contact me."
Having said that and received the promise, everyone went back to continue searching for the key.
Yu Chihe's behavior was very strange. While everyone was asking him about these things, he was still pondering the door.
When Su Wanying went to see him, he was still chatting and laughing with her, and Yan Zi felt that something was not quite right.
After searching for a while, the group finally found three keys, but no one dared to open them!
Yan Zi looked at Yu Chi He: "Yu Chi He, we've found the key, what should we do now?"
Yu Chihe: "Just open it directly!"
Just as Su Wanying was about to volunteer to help, Yan Zi hurriedly stopped her: "We don't know how to drive it, why don't you go?"
Yu Chihe smiled and nodded.
Then they took the three keys, went up and opened the treasure chest. The three of them rushed out, all covered in wounds and looking to be in very bad shape.
A man in a suit standing nearby was startled by the scene and quickly shrank back several steps.
The three people's eyes became somewhat cloudy, but they still seemed to have their own consciousness and looked as if they were struggling!
Yan Zi narrowed her eyes: "Ci Gua, is there something wrong with these three people?"
Prickly Gourd: "They're not human anymore!"
Yan Zi: "Are we in danger?"
Thorn Gourd: "No, they are very weak, their danger level is equivalent to a level one monster, and their condition is a bit off, it seems like they are about to turn into puppets!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zi raised an eyebrow.
This means that they are no longer human, but they have not lost their self-awareness!
Zhou Yan: "These guys haven't turned into ghosts, have they? What should we do? Kill them?"
Yu Chihe nodded, "We're too late. There's nothing we can do to save them."
Yan Zi stepped forward, and without saying a word, took out an awakening potion from her pocket and injected it into them.
Everyone was stunned!
"Does the big boss have some kind of purifying potion that can restore them to normal?"
"Wow, this guy is like a walking fountain, heals wherever he goes!"
"Could you sell me some of this purification potion? I really need some!"
The people behind her kept chattering, but Yan Zi ignored them completely, instead staring intently at the three people in front of her.
The three people were injected with the drug, and their entire being underwent a dramatic transformation.
Yan Zi stared intently at him.
"How are they doing, Prickly Gourd?"
Thorn Gourd: "It seems like two bloodlines are intertwined within their bodies, and their power is gradually canceling each other out!"
Yan Zi: "You mean they have a chance of turning back into normal people?"
Thorn Gourd: "No! But the direction of evolution seems okay. I can feel their consciousness gradually returning, and the puppet's power has been removed from their bodies."
Yan Zi couldn't help but marvel upon hearing this.
It was truly a magical experience.
Yan Zi stared intently at their changes; this was yet another piece of experimental data.
Yu Chihe was caught off guard by this scene and was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at the people rolling on the ground.
