Chapter 017 Backstab
Shen Liuxue raised her head and grinned silently. She twisted her right hand into a strange position and stabbed Mo Xuanji in the back with her sword.
The moment Mo Xuanji felt the change in the wind flow, he dodged sideways and reached out to grab Shen Liuxue's wrist.
Shen Liuxue was startled and subconsciously tried to pull his wrist away, but Mo Xuanji held it down tightly.
Seeing this, the murderous intent on Shen Liuxue's face faded, and she returned to her normal appearance. She just patted Mo Xuanji's wrist with a coquettish look: "Oh, I was just joking with you, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Mo Xuanji shuddered, let go of her hand, and took a few steps back silently.
"Stop pretending, it's creepy." He must be having a nightmare. Shen Liuxue actually showed such... uh, it makes me sick just thinking about it. This is simply an insult to Shen Liuxue's personality.
"How did you find out?" "Chen Liuxue" was very unconvinced: "I clearly imitated Shen Liuxue at the beginning, and my words and actions were exactly the same as the real one!"
"If it was the real Shen Liuxue, when I said she was afraid of spiders, she would just remain silent and nod in agreement." After all, it would be hard for anyone who had experienced the Happy Community to not be traumatized by this thing, right?
The most important point is that Shen Liuxue never takes the initiative to explain to others how she was injured. She would just say lightly that it was okay.
"Hahaha, it's actually a spider." Shen Liuxue laughed, covering her forehead. Suddenly, bursts of black mist appeared on her body, quickly enveloping her completely. When the mist dissipated, a purple phantom appeared in its place.
Mo Xuanji's expression was solemn. Possessing both wisdom and the strangeness of the Uncanny Realm was only going to get higher.
Damn it, he can’t contact the system now, and can’t sense the existence of the vest.
"Where is the real Shen Liuxue?" Green supernatural power flowed in Mo Xuanji's hands.
"I'm curious. The ability you use to break nightmares is clearly fire, so why are you using wind now?"
"No comment."
"Alright, I have no comment then." Phantom soared high into the sky, and the scorching quicksand around her transformed into a giant sandworm under her control. She stood on the sandworm's head, looking down at Mo Xuanji: "You psychics are truly baffling. Little Spider and I have no grudge against you, yet you rush to attack us."
The sandworm half-raised its body, exposing its fanged mouth. Mo Xuanji looked incredibly small in front of it.
"You are innocent? If I'm not mistaken, you were planning to drain the energy from everyone in this building, right?"
Mo Xuanji formed a half-hearted spell. A massive tornado formed before her, sweeping crimson sand towards the sandworm.
…
Lin Chengjie, the captain of the first team of the superpower team, had just led his team members into the strange domain when he felt a strong sense of dizziness.
The instrument on the helmet made a "beeping" sound, and the mental barrier automatically opened.
"Oh my god, I'm dizzy." Lin Chengjie held his forehead and almost fell down.
"Me too... Hey? Not dizzy anymore?"
"It's a mental anomaly. The equipment we brought neutralized the mental attack. The dizziness is a side effect."
"Oh no! Why is the entrance closed? Where are Team 2 and Team 3? Where's the medical team? Why haven't they come in?"
The team members were a little confused. What was going on? Were they going to let the twelve of them fight against the SS?
Lin Chengjie wiped his face and said, "First, find those four students. The rest can only be dealt with improvisationally. The most important thing is to save your life."
…
Mo Xuanji rolled on the ground several times before finally coming to a stop. He was gasping for breath, blood and sand mixed together, piercing the wounds that stung the ground and aching.
It was indeed too forced. Mo Xuanji's gaze fell on the crystal exposed on the strange abdomen.
The strange thing's weakness was clearly there, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it. The strange thing always blocked his attacks.
After all, the weird thing couldn't help its curiosity. It came to Mo Xuanji, and the hand transformed from sand pinched Mo Xuanji's neck and lifted him up.
"I really don't understand why you're fighting so hard. The humans in the Happy Community have nothing to do with you."
Mo Xuanji reluctantly grasped the hand with both hands, relieving some of the suffocation: "You are weird, how could you possibly understand..."
"Is it because of the orders from those in power?" Guiyi tilted his head. "How pitiful! It's all for that illusive thing, but in the end, only you are charging forward, while those in power hide behind the scenes, content to enjoy the fruits of their labor. You are just being used as consumables for exploration."
"Ahem... No, that's not the case..." His vision was a little blurry, which was not good.
"No? Don't be silly. It's been so long and no one has entered the Ghostly Domain to rescue you. Doesn't this mean that they have given up on you?"
"I really like the smell of you, and I'm a little reluctant to eat you." The weird creature came closer and pinched Mo Xuanji's face with its sharp claws.
It hesitated for a moment, then came up with an idea: "Why don't you join us and become our [family]~ Yes, family members will never betray each other. Come, become one of us~"
Countless black air surged around its feet, condensing into the shape of spiders. They spoke in unison, their movements in unison: "Come, become one of us, become our family."
The voice seemed to have a magical power, which penetrated into Mo Xuanji's mind and made his brain confused and unable to think.
It’s pollution…
The phantom opened his arms and made a hugging gesture: "Come, become our family, as long as you say, 'You are willing to give up everything you have as a human being and become one of us.'"
Weird... could it also be transformed from other life forms? In the midst of chaos, this thought flashed through Mo Xuanji's mind.
"Promise it, promise it," a voice whispered beside her ear. Feeling dizzy, Mo Xuanji almost couldn't control herself and agreed to it.
Suddenly, a ripple flashed through the desert space. A noise was heard, as if someone was shouting. The strange, polluted voice paused for a few seconds for some reason.
Amidst the chaos, Mo Xuanji barely caught a few words. The man repeated them several times, his voice becoming clearer and clearer.
"I'm Lin Chengjie, captain of the First Superpower Team of the Central Superpower Bureau! Identification number 2355589! Hang in there, kids! We're here to take you home!"
The voice was powerful and loud. Mo Xuanji was startled and woke up instantly.
It was like a bad signal, its body occasionally freezing up. The spiders transformed from the black energy were also stuck.
Mo Xuanji gritted his teeth, forcing out some of his supernatural powers to break the strange hand that was gripping his neck. As he fell, two wind blades crossed and cut into the strange creature's abdomen.
The illusion shattered. Mo Xuanji suddenly sat up, clutching her neck. Without a moment to rest, she quickly looked around.
Zhu Chang'an and Shen Liuxue lay nearby, still conscious in a nightmare. Wilde watched over them, looking utterly exhausted. A translucent barrier completely enveloped the four of them.
"Senior?" Mo Xuanji only then realized that he was covered in wounds. He could feel a piercing pain when he moved slightly.
Not far away, some people were chasing and beating a purple phantom. Or rather, they were being beaten unilaterally by the phantom.
I almost brushed past them several times, but no one noticed.
"My special ability can be ignored 100%. Isn't it amazing?" Wilde showed a bright smile. For the first time, his image looked so tall in Mo Xuanji's eyes.
