The piercing alarm shattered the silence of the night, and an unknown noise echoed throughout the building.
Sweat had soaked through Xiao Jin's back. She looked around at the vengeful ghost employees who were rushing towards her like a tide, and continued to slash through the air with her long sword.
"Here we go again..." Xiao Jin cursed under his breath.
She had lost count of how many times this had happened; every time she killed all the vengeful ghosts in front of her, another batch would suddenly appear from nowhere.
These vengeful ghosts kept draining Xiao Jin's strength and resources. If it weren't for her 'thick' resources, she would have been torn to shreds long ago!
But at this moment, Xiao Jin was thinking about Xu Qing and the others, wondering how they were doing!
The corridor was in chaos just now, with other players rushing out from all directions, and no one knew which direction anyone was going.
However, Xiao Jin glanced over and saw that Zhan Wenchen was on his right. Considering the guy's strength, Xiao Jin decided to run to the right.
Fighting and running, Xiao Jin finally found Zhan Wenchen, who was in a disheveled state, after about three minutes.
At this moment, a large chunk of flesh had been torn from Zhan Wenzhen's leg, and he had no time to use any recovery items.
"Thunder Lock!" A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling bolt of lightning rose from the corner of Zhan Wenzhen's eye. He subconsciously turned around and saw Xiao Jin emerging from the lightning.
After defeating the convulsing ghosts around them, Xiao Jin grabbed Zhan Wenchen's arm and teleported him to another corridor.
"Hiss~" As soon as he stood still, Zhan Wenchen did not notice the wound on his leg, and the tearing pain spread throughout his body.
Zhan Wenchen subconsciously bared his teeth.
"Thanks!" Zhan Wenzhen said, and promptly swallowed the recovery potion.
The muscles at the site of his leg wound were healing rapidly, and a tingling, numb sensation filled his entire body.
"Have you seen Xu Qing?" Xiao Jin asked, looking around.
Zhan Wenzhen understood Xiao Jin's meaning: "I didn't see Xu Qing, but I know the direction Cui Mingyang fled in, so he might notice."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin's expression relaxed for a moment.
That’s okay!
Even if Xu Qing can't be found, Cui Mingyang will be the same.
Xiao Jin had just tentatively sent messages to the two of them, but neither of them replied. They were probably dealing with the pursuit of the vengeful ghost and were unable to contact her immediately.
"Lead the way." Xiao Jin said calmly.
Zhan Wenzhen gave a wry smile: "You really are the kind of person who uses and discards things! Fine, fine, I'll take you there."
Soon, Xiao Jin, led by Zhan Wenchen, encountered Cui Mingyang. Coincidentally, Wang Bing was also with him.
"How did you two meet?" Cui Mingyang asked, panting.
"Coincidentally, she was looking for you, but she ran into me instead," Zhan Wenzhen chuckled.
Cui Mingyang immediately understood the meaning behind the words, so he said to Xiao Jin, "It should be fine. When I came out, I saw that he seemed to be going in the same direction as Nie Xinxin."
If things really get too difficult, Nie Xinxin will help!
I see! Then Xiao Jin is no longer worried.
"Alright, let's meet up with them as soon as possible!" Xiao Jin said, jumping forward with his long sword in hand.
Because, without anyone knowing, the vengeful spirits found the group again.
While attacking, Zhan Wenzhen calmly analyzed, "It seems that the ghosts tonight are even more ferocious than before. We not only need to find Xu Qing and the other person, but we also need to find a safe place."
Xiao Jin dodged out of the encirclement of the vengeful ghosts, his long sword slicing smoothly through the surrounding area, sending arms and legs flying everywhere.
Upon hearing Zhan Wenchen's words, Xiao Jin frantically pondered in her mind.
A safe place?
If she had to think of a place that would make even the most vengeful spirits wary, Xiao Jin could only think of that place, but she wasn't sure yet.
Whether it's truly effective or not, we'll have to see for ourselves.
After figuring it out, Xiao Jin shouted, "Cui Mingyang, point the way, go find Xu Qing."
"Alright, over here!" With that, Cui Mingyang raised his hand and blasted an explosive talisman forward, instantly creating a hole in the ghost tide ahead.
Players darted past here.
About five minutes later, Xiao Jin and the others successfully reunited with Xu Qing and Nie Xinxin.
"Do you have a destination?" Zhan Wenchen asked.
"Let's go to the general manager's office first!" Xiao Jin made a quick decision and led everyone towards the conference room.
Yes, when it comes to safe places, the first place Xiao Jin thinks of is Jian Yiqiu's office.
As the biggest boss in this instance, that guy is undoubtedly a vengeful ghost. If that's the case, the other little ghosts in the company would absolutely not dare to set foot in his territory.
Of course, all of this is still just Xiao Jin's speculation.
Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, Zhan Wenzhen frowned.
He was unaware of the relationship between Jian Yiqiu and Xiao Jin, and was only afraid that doing so would attract even more powerful vengeful spirits. But there was no other way now; everyone needed some breathing room.
However, they hadn't run far when the corridor lights suddenly flickered and then went out completely, plunging the entire corridor into darkness.
"Watch out!" Xiao Jin shouted in a low voice, the long sword in his hand covered with a faint purple light, the blade cutting a dazzling, cold glint in the darkness.
A chilling aura swept over Xiao Jin from in front of her, and then a dark figure lunged out from the darkness, heading straight for her face.
Xiao Jin quickly dodged to the side, and with a swift motion, slashed down with his long sword, forcing the dark figure back.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was actually a female ghost dressed in business attire, one of the ghost managers they had killed a few days earlier!
"Damn it, have they come back to life too!" Nie Xinxin cursed, thrusting out her spear and forcing back another attacking ghost.
"Don't linger, run!" Zhan Wenzhen shouted, the prop in his hand shimmering faintly, temporarily blocking the ghost's attack.
While fending off the attacks of the vengeful spirits, the group raced towards the 44th floor. However, the number of vengeful spirits in the corridor increased dramatically, surging in from all directions as if they were endless.
"This can't go on!" Cui Mingyang said anxiously.
Xiao Jin's brows furrowed slightly, and then the belt around her waist flashed.
【Cursed Music Score: After activating the skill, a score from hell will be played. Units in the area where the music is heard will have all attributes reduced by 5% (lasts for 10 minutes) and will also be affected by a confusion state (40 seconds). Cooldown: 12 hours】
In an instant, accompanied by a strange piece of music, all the surrounding ghosts seemed to go mad and began to kill each other in a chaotic and disorderly manner.
"Forty seconds!" Xiao Jin's voice rang out amidst the chaos.
These brief words startled the surrounding players at first, but they quickly realized that Xiao Jin was referring to the skill's cooldown time.
Without a moment's hesitation, the group dashed off like arrows towards the upper floors.
