“Your exposure has accelerated the process of world change; he wants to drain all the energy from me.”
Jian Yiqiu said breathlessly, "If he succeeds, the instance will collapse immediately."
Chu Yuan and the others didn't have time to pay attention to certain words in Jian Yiqiu's words, nor did they care why he knew about the copy and was so familiar with Xiao Jin.
At that moment, everyone was captivated by his words.
If what Jian Yiqiu said is true, the players won't be able to wait until the seventh day...
As night fell and the moonlight was faint, the villa's silhouette appeared particularly sinister in the darkness.
The arrival of Xiao Jin and his group instantly aroused the latent hostility in the villa's male owner's heart.
The other person had silently appeared in the shadows of the room without anyone noticing.
"Don't move!" A loud shout came from the shadows.
The man, holding a hunting rifle, had a terrifyingly grim expression. His eyes glowed an unnatural red under the siren lights, and his lips twisted into a sinister smile: "Since you're here, I won't have to look for you. Just stay here!"
As he spoke, the male homeowner raised the gun in his hand and fired at the four men.
Xiao Jin nimbly dodged the male master's attacks, while the others scattered in different directions.
Her movements were swift and precise; she held the long sword in front of her and deflected several bullets with a clatter.
Chu Yuan's Rubik's Cube instantly unfolded, transforming into dozens of floating blades: "This old guy's acting strangely."
The male homeowner grinned maliciously as he pulled the trigger—
"Bang!"
The bullet grazed Xiao Jin's hair and blasted a hole in the wall.
"Destroy the machine first!" Jian Yiqiu's hoarse voice came from behind, and the chains rattled as he struggled.
Xiao Jin and Chu Yuan exchanged a glance, then charged forward simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of attacks that left them breathless.
Finally, Song Chao seized the opportunity, leaped forward, and while Xiao Jin and the others were holding back the male master, he accurately struck the instrument with his long stick.
With a "click," the eerie blue light on the instrument suddenly went out, as if an invisible force had been instantly drained away.
A crack appeared in the machine's casing, and dark red liquid gushed out, wriggling on the ground like a living thing.
"What?!" the man exclaimed in shock. "No!"
As the instruments were destroyed, a warm and familiar power began to surge within each person's body. It was their own power, which had been ruthlessly stripped away and was miraculously returning.
At the same time, a blinding white light enveloped all players, and the system notification sounded in their minds:
[Ding—Due to unforeseen circumstances, the player has permanently reverted to human form. The rules for this instance have been changed: Destroy all the contaminated toys to return to human form early.]
In the blink of an eye, an inexplicable change appeared on Xiao Jin and the others, including the other players outside who were chasing after the polluted toy.
"What happened? The Toy-like debuff on my panel has disappeared."
"Me too, me too..."
"This is the first time I've seen a change in the main quest!"
Previously, although players could transform into human form after midnight, everyone's panel displayed the words "[Toy-like - Frozen]".
Once they defeat the corrupted boss, the "frozen" message will disappear.
Upon seeing this, the players became incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Finally, I don't have to turn back into a useless toy anymore. Let's see who dares to kill me this time.
The players looked up excitedly, only to be shocked to find that the humans they had been protecting behind them had somehow become polluted toys.
The polluted toys that fought against them turned into corpses...
Our attention shifted back to Xiao Jin.
In front of everyone, after the equipment was destroyed, the villa's male owner underwent a horrifying change.
His body began to twist and deform, his skin became gray and rough, and his features distorted into a hideous mask, eventually transforming into a huge, polluted toy exuding an evil aura.
It let out a piercing scream, brandishing its hard limbs, and launched an even more ferocious attack on Xiao Jin and the others.
Since the energy supply device was destroyed, the male owner, who was originally a toy, lost a large amount of energy, and thus, their identities were switched.
The male master hated the four culprits who caused all this—Xiao Jin and the others—so much so that he wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
"Finally..." Chu Yuan moved his body, which felt as if he had been reborn, as the Rubik's Cube spun rapidly in his palm: "I can finally move freely."
The male owner has been completely mutated—his left arm has swelled into a huge metal claw, his right eye has turned into a mechanical red dot, and several sharp bone spurs have protruded from his back.
"You think you can win like this?" His voice was mixed with mechanical noise: "This villa is full of my kind!"
Once I catch you, I'll skin you alive and make you into my favorite dough drums.
As the male homeowner shouted, the ceiling above him suddenly collapsed, and dozens of polluting toys fell from above.
There were mechanical spiders we'd seen before, as well as newly appeared steel hounds, and even several corrupted servants whose bodies were twisted into bizarre shapes, their eyes glowing with the same red light as their master.
Xiao Jin's longsword drew a silver arc: "Kill."
The battle erupted instantly!
Tong Xiaolu's chains entangled two steel hounds, causing them to collide violently. Song Chao's fire array trapped the mechanical spider within a wall of fire. Chu Yuan's Rubik's Cube split into countless blades, raining down like a storm.
Xiao Jin then went straight for the male master's throat.
In the blink of an eye, the battle reached its climax, with the sounds of fierce fighting and heavy objects colliding echoing throughout the room.
