Chapter 161: Alive
The word "plaything" was like two thorns that pierced into Yu Shujun's heart, causing uncontrollable anger to emerge on Yu Shujun's usually cold face.
Yu Shujun was on the verge of a rage, his fingers tightly gripping the hilt of the lightsaber, his knuckles turning white.
But even so, Yu Shujun still did not take action at the first moment. He just stared closely at the face so close to him, as if he wanted to see through the silver mask and the somewhat sick face to see what the other person was thinking in his heart.
Silver Thorn saw the opponent's restraint and snorted coldly, "Although the man from the Ghost Tamer Alliance is not a good-for-nothing, he is one of the nine legends after all. At least, his strength is obvious to all.
"But what does that man named Ye Jiu have? He is a newcomer who has just walked through the trial map. His level is so low that he has barely reached the threshold of the bronze rank.
"With your player rank, are you willing to be controlled by such a low-level player?
"Why don't you let me go, and I'll help you get rid of that bastard and put an end to it all——"
Before Yin Ci finished speaking, golden light burst out from Yu Shujun's body.
In just a moment, all the silver-white hair wrapped around Yu Shujun's body broke into pieces.
Every bone in Yin Ci's body seemed to be crushed, and every tendon seemed to be cut off.
Like a falling leaf, she staggered and fell backwards.
Before she took her last breath, she looked at Yu Shujun and smiled with relief, "Thank you..."
Before she uttered the last word "thank you", she had already closed her eyes, and thick black blood flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Putting away the sword, Yu Shujun turned around and was about to rush back to the headquarters building of Irene Group at full speed when a message popped up in the system -
[Qiqi: Xiaojun, the prop was thrown into the furnace]
【Qiqi: It’s all over】
…
…
Ten minutes ago, right below the headquarters building, next to the underground furnace.
Under the gaze of the three people beside him, Wen Nan reached into the equipment spare column, gently stroked the edge of the small piece of metal with his fingertips, stared at the scorching furnace under his feet, and fell into deep thought.
The other three people's gentle calls did not get any response from Wen Nan.
Yang Mingzhong frowned and looked at the president solemnly.
Huang Yan's heart was beating fast. He moved closer to Yang Mingzhong and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what's wrong? We've come this far. We just need to get rid of the disease and complete the mission. Why... are you suddenly frozen?"
Seeing the expression of the man opposite him, Huang Yan turned his head and glanced at the furnace under his feet that was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes. He felt that he had seen this scene somewhere before...
He suddenly had an idea and patted Yang Mingzhong on the shoulder. "Oh!" He said, "I think I understand. The boss...could he want to...take that thing...for himself?"
Yang Mingzhong turned around and looked at his startled companion, "That pen? Why would you want to take that thing for yourself?"
Huang Yan shook his head. He had no idea what the president was thinking. He just felt that... the current situation was too similar to an old movie.
"Boss, maybe he... needs a Gollum?"
Huang Yan said, nudging Yang Mingzhong with his elbow, "You want to do it? I think this role is quite suitable for you."
Yang Mingzhong didn't understand what this eccentric companion was talking about. "What role? What adaptation?"
Huang Yan pointed his chin in the direction of the president and said, "I think the boss needs someone to push him from behind and help him throw the things out."
Yang Mingzhong finally understood what Huang Yan meant, but he did not move. He only said, "The things were found by the president himself. It is his business to decide how to deal with them. This decision can only be made by him."
Huang Yan looked at Yang Mingzhong in disbelief. "There is only one key item. If we don't destroy it completely, we won't be able to complete the mission. Then we will all die in this map!"
After hearing Huang Yan's words, Yang Mingzhong's expression remained as calm as usual.
It seemed that he didn't care at all about dying in this map.
Huang Yan looked at Qiqi. The round-faced girl was staring quietly at the man next to her. Her eyes seemed as if if the president asked her to jump into the furnace from here, she would jump in without hesitation.
At this moment, Huang Yan felt a little desperate.
Is he the only normal person here? Wen Nan's long thought finally triggered the system prompt in his mind -
9527: [Main Mission 5: Eradicate the root of the disease and achieve harmony of life with Irene!]
9527: [Countdown for this mission: 02:36:58——]
9527: [Task Description: As long as the root of the disease is not removed, Irene is at risk of falling into the disease again. Irene needs your help! Now, the root of the disease is in your hands. You have successfully found the furnace. Help Irene to completely eliminate the root of the disease from this world! ]
9527: [There is only one step left to complete the main task 5 and enter the settlement phase. Please keep up the good work! ]
System prompts kept ringing in Wen Nan's mind, reminding him of one thing -
If you completely eliminate that thing, you can complete the mission, otherwise, it will be considered a mission failure.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The countdown continued to tick in my mind.
Wen Nan finally took a step forward, walked to the edge, raised his hand, pinched the small piece of metal between his fingertips, and placed it just above the boiling molten lava.
Release your finger.
The small piece of metal disappeared from Wen Nan's fingertips in an instant.
Almost at the same time, the system's prompt sounded in my mind -
9527: [Congratulations to the contestants! Main quest 5, current completion rate: 100%.]
9527: [Congratulations to the contestants! This instance of "Office Taboo**" has been completed! ]
9527: [Please return to the refresh point within 20 minutes to complete the final level settlement! ]
9527: [The countdown for settlement begins——]
【20:00——】
【19:59——】
Obviously, the same prompt sound also sounded in the systems of other players.
Huang Yan jumped up excitedly, "It's done! Boss, you're awesome!"
Looking up at the tangled passage above his head, he hurried back, "We need to leave here as soon as possible and go back to the refresh point!"
However, as soon as he took a step back, his feet began to shake violently. "What? Earthquake?!"
The other people also looked up at the same time, their faces becoming gloomy.
Hot pieces of gravel fell from overhead and hit their "air bags" with a dull sound.
This secret passage leading to the furnace is about to collapse.
"What on earth is happening outside?!" Huang Yan's voice trembled a little.
At this time, a message popped up in the guild group:
[Yao: Damn! Irene Building! That building! It's alive!!!] (End of this chapter)
