Chapter 139: Stop playing, save people
Irene Group headquarters building, 3rd floor, end of the corridor.
Huang Yan sat cross-legged in the corner, supporting his chin with one hand, looking up, staring at the dried mud flowing out of a thin and narrow crack on the white wall opposite for a long time.
"Brother Sanhuo, I have finished sweeping another floor. Apart from a few low-level items that dropped randomly, there is nothing else. Do you have any clues?"
In my mind, Guo Xiaofu's voice came from the account that was in real-time call status.
"No," Huang Yan continued to stare at the oozing mud, "Not to mention a human figure, I didn't even see a fly."
Guo Xiaofu on the other side was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will it really work to just sit back and wait? There's already a player who hit the wall in the corridor on the third floor. I don't think it's likely that there will be another one. Why don't you come up with me to scan the map and stop wasting time there?"
"No, this place is too critical, I must guard it." Huang Yan insisted.
"Okay."
Guo Xiaofu was on the other end of the phone. As soon as he hung up the phone, he heard a muffled "dong dong dong" sound coming from above his head. It was very rapid and regular.
He stopped and listened carefully. The sound was a bit like someone upstairs hitting the floor with a ball.
After thinking about it, he went upstairs and rushed to the door of the room where the noise came from. Only then did he realize that it was a company gym.
When I pushed open the door, I saw a few men with inverted triangle bodies who only trained their arms and not their legs, lifting weights with great effort.
Well, in a place like this, it’s not surprising to hear the sound of floor hitting.
"Are you a new employee on your first day?" A man who looked like a coach came up to me. "Do you need a private trainer? We have a free trial offer now."
Guo Xiaofu smiled and waved his hand, "No, no."
The coach did not give up. He took the brochure and stuffed it into Guo Xiaofu's hand. "Take a look. It's really a good deal now."
Guo Xiaofu has a soft personality and is not good at refusing others. Even when facing an NPC, he couldn't stand up straight and was eventually forced to stand still and start listening to the other party's sales pitch.
Just as I was thinking about how to get out, there was a loud noise behind me.
Everyone in the gym looked in the direction where the noise came from - they saw the door of an equipment room was shaking violently from being smashed, and the door lock on the side was making a "clicking" sound, and it was about to be broken.
Guo Xiaofu's heart tightened and he broke out in a cold sweat.
this……
Could it be that he had triggered some hidden plot and a female ghost was about to break out of the door?
Thinking of this, his legs went weak and he was thinking about fleeing the scene at full speed, when -
Bang! The door was smashed open.
A figure rushed out from behind the door in a very distorted posture.
"Zombies!"
Guo Xiaofu was so scared that he closed his eyes, turned around and rushed out the door.
As soon as he rushed out the door, he bumped into a man head-on. When he looked up and saw who that man was, Guo Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great! Uncle Mingzhong!" Guo Xiaofu said, grabbing Yang Mingzhong's arm and running out, "There's... there's danger behind us, let's evacuate here quickly!"
Yang Mingzhong was pulled by the other side and ran two steps, "What's wrong?"
Guo Xiaofu panted as he described: "In that gym, it seems that there was a hidden character that was triggered by me. I didn't see it clearly, but the flesh on that person's body was layered, like a hoof, and the same was true on his face. He was scary when he walked..."
Hearing this description, Yang Mingzhong felt helpless, "Is there a possibility that this is the person you have been looking for?"
When reminded by the person on the other side, Guo Xiaofu paused.
This... seems to make sense? Yang Mingzhong had already pulled his sleeve back from the other party's hand, "Let's go, let's go back and take a look."
When I returned to the gym, I saw a group of NPCs staring at a figure in amazement - the man was tied up by invisible silk threads all over his body, his flesh was squeezed into layers, and he was trying to crawl out like a maggot.
When he saw Yang Mingzhong and Guo Xiaofu coming in, he became very excited, and kept making "wooooooo" sounds from his sewn-up mouth.
Guo Xiaofu looked at Yang Mingzhong for help, "It seems...it's really him?"
Yang Mingzhong squatted down, used two fingers to push aside one of the skin spots, and carefully observed the thin filaments embedded inside that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
It is indeed soul thread.
It should be the player who is in the reverse Tiangang state.
but……
Yang Mingzhong turned his head and his eyes met that person's inadvertently. That person immediately started to sob excitedly again, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
Why is this player's situation different from the others in the reverse Tiangang state? He is conscious and can communicate with them? "Is this... your friend?" The NPC clerk standing nearby tried to ask.
Yang Mingzhong took out a dagger from his pocket and tried to cut the soul thread that sutured the other person's lips, but as expected, he failed.
Putting away the dagger, Yang Mingzhong nodded, "Yes, he is our friend, we need to take him away."
After saying that, without waiting for the surrounding NPCs to respond, Yang Mingzhong directly carried the player and hurriedly left the gym.

Staff dormitory, refresh point.
Hu Jiayao squatted on the table, one hand behind his back, staring at the man not far away with a fierce look.
Gu Jinxing sat on the sofa in front of him, holding the finger-long horn in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.
"Is it really that serious? Are you so defensive against me?"
Hu Jiayao's brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
"You want to use Mr. Horn to tear up the key props. You are simply digging your own grave. If you really destroy the confidential documents, our main mission will be ruined. I will definitely not let you betray your teammates like this."
Gu Jinxing put Mr. Jiao into his pocket and said, "First of all, I didn't plan to tear up the document. I just wanted to try a page corner to see if I could really cut it.
"Secondly, I don't think this attempt will affect the main mission later. Although the confidential document is a key item, it was already the last main mission.
"Now in front of you is a document that cannot be cut by a knife or a fire, and a mechanical beetle that can cut through iron like mud. What do you think is the purpose of the system asking us to find these two things separately?"
Hu Jiayao is not a very smart person. Every time Gu Jinxing tries to reason with him, he can't help but be led by the other party.
This time was no exception. After hearing what the other party said, he subconsciously asked, "What is it for?"
Gu Jinxing pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "If I tell you, according to my speculation, the next mission is very likely to let us use this horn in my hand to solve the problem of curing the disease in your hand, do you believe it?"
Hu Jiayao thought about it and was quickly convinced by the other party.
He has always trusted Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing held the mechanical beetle in his palm and brought it under Hu Jiayao's nose. "Do you want to try it? Maybe you can complete the next main task in advance?"
Hu Jiayao slowly raised his hand and reached for Mr. Horn...
However, just as the fingertips were about to touch the tentacles, a hand came across and snatched the insect away.
"Huh?"
When he looked up, he saw Yang Mingzhong carrying a man on one shoulder and holding Mr. Jiao with the other hand, "Stop playing around, come and save people."
