Chapter 100: What a Pitfall
He... triggered the first soul thread? The first main quest has entered the countdown. According to the system instructions when entering the dungeon, if the attack rate of any of the six capture targets Wen Nan got is less than 80%, the soul doll he carries with him will trigger the soul thread and connect to one of his limbs.
As mentioned in the previous introduction about soul dolls and soul threads, when players are resting, they must make sure that the soul doll is near them, so that the triggered soul thread can connect to the player's limbs.
It should have been just now, when Wen Nan accidentally fell into a coma, that in the nightmare, the soul thread gradually wrapped around his wrist.
Why did I suddenly fall into a nightmare?
Although he had been working non-stop for a long time without any rest, Wen Nan had taken sleeping capsules, so he shouldn't have fallen asleep suddenly like that, and slept so soundly.
Recalling the details of the dream just now...
Most of them were very familiar to Wen Nan, but there was one thing that suddenly popped into his mind recently.
The pungent smell of sandalwood.
The candle that Sun Yi placed on the bedside was not for any special fun at all. The candle was mixed with a large dose of hypnotic! Thinking of this, Wen Nan lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee table in front of him. He raised the hand that was not entangled with the soul thread and pulled open the admission letter on it. Sure enough, he saw a note underneath -
【Uncle: Don't work so hard. You're almost getting dark circles under your eyes. You work overtime until late every day, and all the money you earn is used to pay for medical expenses. Why bother? I'll give you some tranquilizer and brain tonic. You can sleep well~ You're welcome~ Love you~ ξXiaoyi . 】
Looking at the note, Wen Nan almost laughed out of anger.
This kid, where is the uncle? But then again, this little girl looks very social, but in fact she is really innocent. She had the chance to drug Wen Nan, but she gave him sleeping pills instead of aphrodisiacs? Now that the culprit who almost caused Wen Nan to fail has been found, another more important problem still troubles Wen Nan——
The soul thread on Wen Nan's wrist was getting tighter and tighter, indicating that there was a target whose capture rate was less than 80%.
But how is this possible? He has conquered all six characters. With his skills, there shouldn't be any that slipped through the net...
While I was thinking, something soft crawled up the back of my hand.
Wen Nan lowered his head and looked over, meeting a pair of empty eyes.
An exquisitely shaped little doll had hugged his wrist at some point, and tried to raise its not-so-flexible neck to stare at Wen Nan's face.
It was clearly a doll, it was impossible for it to have any expression, but Wen Nan always felt that he could clearly see the smile in the other's eyes.
It was the target that he had chosen himself—the CEO who was cold on the outside but soft on the inside.
Wen Nan searched the system in his mind as quickly as possible, and the answer he got made him feel depressed.
9527: [Target 'Big Big Big Big Cold-outside-but-soft-in-heart female CEO', current strategy level: 30%. ]
Wen Nan:?!
He paid out of his own pocket to date Guan Ailin for a night in the cinema, but her strategy level remained at 30% and did not move at all? !
9527: [The dating behavior between the player and the target of the strategy in Crown Cinema is the player's personal behavior and is not counted in the main or side quests. The character's strategy level increased by this behavior cannot be locked by the system. After the behavior is completed, the strategy level will be restored to the value before the behavior occurred. Please be aware.]
Wen Nan: ? ?
You're not going to tell me about this until the settlement? What a rip-off! But now is not the time to criticize the system, because the settlement countdown that appeared in front of him was less than ten minutes left.
He must rush back to the refresh point in the company dormitory as soon as possible, otherwise, he will be disqualified from settlement.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan supported himself with his arm and tried to stand up, but found that the hand wrapped in the soul thread was being pulled and stuck to the ground, unable to get off the ground at all.
I tried pulling it twice more, but my arm didn't move at all.
The soul puppet, which looked only the size of a palm, seemed to take root and grow in the ground once the soul thread was triggered, and could not be shaken no matter what.
The silver thread wrapped around Wen Nan's wrist became tighter and tighter, already sinking into his flesh and about to cut into his bones.
Wen Nan's left hand was no longer under his control, and he couldn't even raise his hand.
The soul thread continued to go deeper into Wen Nan's wrist. I'm afraid that Wen Nan's hand would be restrained by the soul doll in the end, and would do things that were completely out of his control.
But this is not the most pressing issue right now.
Right now, the most pressing issue was that if he allowed this soul doll growing on the ground to complete the soul-wrapping ritual, he would not have enough time to rush to the refresh point...
Taking a deep breath, Wen Nan tightly grasped the control pattern on his palm.
A flash of golden light passed by.
Should he be called Yu Shujun or Jun Wuming?
I can’t care so much…
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Xiaojun!"
Before Wen Nan finished speaking, a beam of golden light shot in from outside the door, broke through the door, and hit Wen Nan's wrist directly.
A "clang" sound, similar to the sound of a bowstring being broken, rang in my ear, and then my left hand, which was pressed tightly against the floor, suddenly felt lighter.
Wen Nan squinted his eyes, and when the golden light that illuminated the entire room faded away, he saw the familiar blond figure in a sports suit standing in front of him.
The tip of the sword in the opponent's hand was pointing at the small doll lying on its back on the floor in front of him.
One of the doll's hands was still holding a broken silver thread. Its head mechanically twisted 90 degrees and it stared at Wen Nan with its empty eyes again.
Wen Nan stood up from the ground and rushed out the door as fast as he could. "There's no time left. I need to get to the refresh point as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shujun said nothing. He just took a step forward silently and poked the soul doll with the tip of the sword. With a "puff", he pierced through its soft chest and abdomen. Then he strung the palm-sized doll on the sword and left with it.
The two stepped into the elevator hall side by side.
After pressing the button, the elevator went down smoothly. Wen Nan turned his head and took a look at the soul doll that Yu Shujun had skewered on the sword like a grilled chicken wing.
"Something wrong, Master?"
Yu Shujun turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Wen Nan.
Wen Nan wanted to shake his head and say it was nothing, but when he saw Yu Shujun's red eyes, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Unlike last time, this time, the red marks at the corners of Yu Shujun's eyes have faded and the tears have dried up. If you don't look closely, it's hard to see anything unusual.
It seems like she cried a long time ago? Wen Nan was watching in a trance, Yu Shujun suddenly raised his hand, grabbed his hood, put it on his head, pulled it down, covering his entire face tightly, and said coldly: "If you have the time, take care of yourself, master."
