Jun Beibei and her mother looked at him blankly when they heard Wen Nan's hoarse voice.
I didn't understand why at this critical moment, the other party suddenly shouted out two strange names.
The next moment, a clear female voice came from above:
"Mo Yu is here, willing to serve the master, going through fire and water, without hesitation!"
Following Wen Nan's line of sight, looking towards the edge of the huge soup pot, they saw a silver-white light shooting towards them like a bolt of lightning in the night sky.
Jun Beibei's eyes were fixed on the silvery light, and he saw the small silvery sword wrapped around the sea cucumber, spinning like a little bee finding nectar.
The word "Master" uttered by the little silver sword made Jun Beibei's heart feel as if it was stabbed by a sharp blade. Her brows twisted slightly, and the edge of her skirt swayed slightly. There was a faint golden light floating on it, as if trying to condense something.
But the light was eventually submerged by the surrounding water vapor and failed to condense into a solid entity.
The shielding effect brought by this huge "seafood pot" was like a powerful sleeping pill, making her thoughts always trapped in dreams and difficult to break free.
Of course, Jun Beibei no longer had the will to continue fighting at this moment.
She used the golden knife to cut the last chain between herself and Ye Cancan.
At this moment, she was dragged by the brown-black Arctic clam behind her and was about to fall into the boiling soup.
The temperature around her was getting higher and higher, and the steam was getting thicker and thicker, blocking her vision and making it hard for her to breathe.
Just when Ye Cancan's figure was about to be completely submerged in the water vapor and disappear from sight, Jun Beibei's body was suddenly wrapped by a cool and soft film.
The shell, which was originally tortured by the burning heat, suddenly fell into a cool embrace. The feeling of suffocation disappeared, allowing her to finally let out a long breath.
Looking around, Jun Beibei found that she was lying in a white cocoon. At one end of the cocoon, a silk thread stretched out, extending upward and hanging on the metal spoon handle, holding her up steadily.
A woman's gentle voice came from my ear: "Xiaojun, don't be afraid, Irene is here, nothing will happen."
…
…
Wen Nan was surrounded by the silver-white light, which made him dizzy.
He looked down through the afterimage of the little silver sword and found that when the little silver sword was shouting that somewhat childish slogan and rushing to his side, Guan Ailin had silently transformed her body into a cocoon, firmly supporting Yu Shujun who was about to sink.
Yu Shujun is still a white Arctic clam.
When the small silver sword circled around Wen Nan, a faint golden light floated in her eyes.
However, the control of the test space over the player's spirit and consciousness this time was obviously much stronger than the previous times. Even the golden light of the root breaking sword could not allow Yu Shujun to successfully break free from the current illusion.
She was caught up in Jun Beibei's story again.
The reading on the white shell was fixed at a very low value.
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Obsession clearing progress: 31%.] As he was watching in fascination, the brown-black Arctic clam hanging at the bottom opened its two shells and bit Guan Ailin's white cocoon like Pac-Man.
Wen Nan frowned as he watched, and with a twist of his wrist, he grasped the small silver sword at his side through the air.
"Hmm..." The little silver sword hummed softly.
Because of the anger in his heart, Wen Nan failed to control the strength in his hands and held the small silver sword too tightly, causing the small silver sword to tremble twice with pleasure, and the light on its body began to flicker.
The sword blade made a humming sound, and I wished I could fly it out of my hand immediately.
Mo Yu shouted excitedly: "Boss, who are you going to chop? Speak!"
Wen Nan was stunned and looked at the sword in his hand meaningfully.
No, during the time he was doing the mission in the dungeon, who was carrying this small silver sword in the rest hall outside? Why is he talking so strangely and aggressively now? This thought only flashed through his mind very briefly, and Wen Nan did not have any extra time to think about it. He turned his wrist, controlled the silver-white sword blade, and went straight to the brown-black shell.
The silver-white sword pierced between the two shells and, like an oyster knife, easily pried the shells open.
When he was trapped in the illusion of the test space just now, he thought that the brown-black shell was indestructible. Now that he broke free from the illusion and looked again, Wen Nan realized that the other party was actually just a fangless paper tiger created by this test space.
Mo Yu's equipment of this level can easily pierce it.
After its shell was pried open, the brown-black Arctic clam began to let out a shrill roar, and the chains around it gathered back into the shell in an attempt to escape from the scene.
Seeing this, Wen Nan ordered in a deep voice: "Erin, take the freezer back."
Two silver-white silk threads were sent out from the outer wall of Guan Ailin's cocoon in an instant, accurately penetrating into the interior of the brown-black shell, wrapping the mucus-covered metal box several times, tying it tightly, and then pulling it out with force.
"Give me back my baby! Give it back to me!"
Seeing the freezer box being snatched from its mouth, the brown-black shell suddenly jumped up and bit down on the silver thread.
However, before the edge of the shell closed, it was pried open again by the small silver sword. Mo Yu hit the other side hard and said, "Go back to the pot, stinky shell."
The brown-black shell fell straight into the boiling soup at its feet, splashing a pool of milky white water.
Boiled in a pot of high-temperature seafood soup, the shell floated up again in just a moment, and the two tightly closed shells opened, revealing the contents inside.
However, Wen Nan looked closely and found that inside the shell was not the expected cooked light yellow shellfish meat, but...
A woman's face.
The face was very blurry. It looked as if the faceless woman in Yu Shujun's test space a few times before had forcibly used a pen to draw a simple portrait on her own two-dimensional flat face.
Even though it was just such an abstract face, even though it was shrouded in thick steam, Wen Nan could still clearly see the expression on the other person's face.
The woman was staring at Wen Nan at this moment, with endless hatred in her eyes.
If looks could kill, Wen Nan would have been stabbed to death by her hundreds of times by now.
Wen Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the woman blankly.
The next moment, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and then the water vapor completely dissipated.
Wen Nan suddenly came to his senses, looked up, and found that they had been brought out of the seafood pot by the metal spoon without realizing it.
Guan Ailin "carried" Jun Beibei to the handle of the pot. After landing steadily, she turned back into a woman in a white dress, knelt beside Jun Beibei, and checked on her condition.
Jun Beibei was holding the metal box in her hands. The lid of the box was open. The clam crawled out, crawled into her arms, and whispered "Beibei".
Jun Beibei gently stroked the edge of Haiguazi's skirt, and it seemed to be a very harmonious picture of a loving mother and a filial son.
However, Wen Nan let go of the wakame, jumped onto the handle, squatted beside Jun Beibei, and looked at her shell. What he saw was still a row of cold readings.
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Obsession clearing progress: 31%.] The obsession clearing progress was fixed at 31% the moment Jun Beibei cut the chain with the golden fruit knife and decided to fall into the pot, and it never increased again.
Even if they successfully snatched the clams back, even if they safely left the seafood pot, they could not change this number.
As Wen Nan was thinking, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind -
9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, the obsession value clearing progress has successfully reached 100%! ]
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
9527: [According to the rules of the Scepter of the Scabbard qualification test, at the end of the test, the one with the highest obsession clearance will win. When two candidates complete the test with the same score, the one who gets the score first will win.]
9527: [Congratulations! You are the first candidate to get a perfect score in this test and you automatically win! ]
9527: [This qualification test ends ahead of schedule. This test space will collapse in 15 minutes. Candidates are requested to make preparations before settlement.]
Accidentally, Wen Nan got the first place again.
As the system prompt sounded, the elements in test space No. 1 began to gradually collapse.
However, the speed of space disintegration this time was much slower than the previous times.
Previously, it only took a few seconds for the various furniture and furnishings in the test space to become transparent, and within a few minutes, everything inside turned into black smoke and dissipated.
This time, a few minutes after the prompt sound ended, apart from the water vapor dissipating, there were no immediate signs of space collapse.
Wen Nan looked at the system countdown in his mind and confirmed his initial guess - right now, the flow of time here is less than one tenth of that under normal circumstances.
In other words, it would take more than two hours for this test space to completely collapse.
This time is enough for Wen Nan to go to the nearby test space No. 3 and finish what he needs to do.
But before that, Wen Nan glanced at the chain on Beike's body next to her that she had cut herself, and then looked at the fruit knife in her hand that was shining with golden light. The emotions that had been pent up in her chest just now began to brew again.
Just as she was lost in thought, Wen Nan's thorns were caught by the white edge of the skirt next to her.
Yu Shujun opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask the other party something, but before he could open his mouth, their eyes met. Feeling the resentment and anger in each other's eyes, Yu Shujun swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.
After a moment, seeing that Yu Shujun had no intention of speaking, Wen Nan took the initiative to say, "You choose your mother?"
Yu Shujun:?
Guan Ailin:?
Mo Yu: "Boss, why are you cursing?"
Being stared at by the three confused women, Wen Nan regained some of his senses, and the anger he had just felt dissipated a lot.
As soon as he asked the question, he felt that it sounded somewhat serious.
It's just like the cliché question that young lovers would ask each other: "If your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
Under normal circumstances, Wen Nan would never ask this kind of question - this question is so damaging that even 50,000 points of charm would not be enough to withstand it.
However, Wen Nan didn't think about it just now, and the words just came out of his mouth.
The only thing to blame for this matter is the seafood campus plot in Test Space No. 2, which has too much aftertaste.
Wen Nan suspected that it was because his obsession was also integrated into this test space - although according to Qiaozi, he had no obsession in his head at all, why he could merge with Yu Shujun's obsession without any obsession, Wen Nan has not figured it out yet - but no matter what, since Wen Nan's obsession was integrated into it, he thought, he had a strong sense of substitution, even if the test was over, he was still angry, this was understandable, right?
Because just now, before Wen Nan completely woke up from the illusion and successfully summoned Guan Ailin and Mo Yu, he watched Jun Beibei cut the chain with her own hands and watched the other party fall into the boiling soup. He truly felt the anger and powerlessness.
He didn't want to experience that feeling again.
If it wasn't in the test space, if Wen Nan didn't wake up at the critical moment, next time, when encountering a similar situation, would Yu Shujun make a similar choice? Die together with the black Arctic clam that claimed to be her mother, to fulfill Wen Nan, the sea cucumber, and let him run to freedom alone? Oh, going to die so righteously, did you ask his opinion?
Meeting Wen Nan's questioning gaze, Yu Shujun was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect the other party to get so angry because of this. After all, this was just a test. The man opposite her had always been cynical and indifferent to dungeons and tasks. Why did he suddenly change his nature at this moment? This abnormality made Yu Shujun a little overwhelmed for a while.
She lowered her eyelashes, tense to the point that the soft flesh at the edge of her shell skirt tightened, and tried to explain softly: "I, I was in a hurry... so I made an expedient decision."
"In a moment of urgency?" Wen Nan asked back aggressively, "If your mother forces you to, you'll die. You call this a makeshift measure?"
Although Wen Nan has completed the test, he is still a sea cucumber. They have not completely left this test space, and their consciousness is still affected by this space.
So, at this moment, Wen Nan's head was a little dazed, like a worker who had to get up before six in the morning to catch the subway. Even though his body had gotten out of bed, his consciousness was still groggy.
With an inexplicable impulse and a bad temper, Wen Nan said domineeringly and unreasonably:
"You are mine. No matter what the circumstances, you can only choose to live well. This is the master's order."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed on the circular driving pattern on his neck.
The invisible words, like a burning brand, were imprinted on Yu Shujun's heart. (End of this chapter)
