Xiao Cheng's face unconsciously revealed an expression that was hard to describe.
Honestly, why does an NPC have to speak in this tone? This strange phenomenon of word-of-mouth transmission is increasing again.
But since he's still using Su Xin and Xu Chu to threaten him, it means that those two were still alive before and after.
It was a pleasant surprise.
A009 was trapped inside the exit of the secret passage, with only half of his head showing, looking somewhat disheveled.
Xiao Cheng wasn't threatened by him; instead, she found herself wanting to laugh more and more. In the end, she couldn't help but nudge Fang He with her elbow: "Look at him now, doesn't he look like a turtle?"
The zombie A009 was furious and gritted his teeth, trying to crawl out. But Fang He swiftly struck him with his knife, almost grazing his scalp. Several tentacles of the fleshy ball and a lock of his hair fell down together.
"Should we continue?" Fang He brandished the gleaming blade in his hand. "I suggest we stop. After all, we all know your current situation. You're trying to stall for time, but I'm going to finish this quickly."
"It seems your companions aren't that important to you," A009 said through gritted teeth.
The fleshy mass on the back of his head seemed to be affected by his emotions; its tentacles began to writhe restlessly, growing increasingly agitated. The fleshy spikes at the base were deeply embedded in his skull, emitting a teeth-grinding crunching sound.
However, its penetrating movements abruptly stopped, it froze completely, and then began to tremble violently, as if it had touched something unspeakable, and struggled outwards in terror.
A009's entire scalp was pulled and twisted together, and the rotting skin on his face stretched backward, with the corners of his eyes and mouth almost splitting open.
"Holy crap... is he going to mutate?" Xiao Cheng stared at his bloodshot, intact left eye, grabbed the stool next to him, and slammed it down hard on his forehead.
However, as everyone knows, skill casting cannot be interrupted.
Before the stool legs could even land on A009, they were pulled by an invisible force, and spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly. Before Xiao Cheng could even react, the stool in her hand instantly disintegrated into a pile of fragments.
The sawdust floated lightly in the air, then burst into flames. Tiny sparks drifted around Xiao Cheng and Fang He, seemingly drawn to them, encircling them perfectly.
The fleshy lump on the back of A009's head failed to break free and shrank at a visible speed. It soon became completely still and hung there, about to fall off. He groped and pulled it off forcefully, then flung it to Xiao Cheng's feet with a thud.
Fang He's pupils contracted sharply, and the instant the ball of flesh was thrown in, he leaped forward and tackled Xiao Cheng to safety.
"careful!"
Before he finished speaking, all the flames gathered around the fleshy ball, clung to it, and then exploded violently with a bang.
The entire building shook violently, and shattered rubble and bricks fell like meteors, instantly obscuring the view with thick smoke.
The air was filled with a suffocating, pungent odor, and the huge explosion had left Xiao Cheng with tinnitus, making it almost impossible for him to hear anything else.
She was firmly protected beneath Fang He, and could see a faint white light emanating from his body, like a protective shield that kept the flames and rubble at bay.
He was using his superpowers, but it was clear he couldn't hold out for long.
Xiao Cheng forced himself to fully recover, then focused his will on the rapidly spreading sea of fire and shouted, "No!"
However, nothing happened.
A sudden sharp pain shot through Xiao Cheng's wrist, causing her to gasp. Looking down, she saw a thin, red worm biting through her skin and desperately crawling out of her body.
It seemed to be enduring extreme pain, its outer half of body twisted and curled up into a ball, then suddenly stretched out, trembling violently.
The sharp pain quickly turned into unbearable agony, as if every nerve in my body was being clenched, and I was being played with a string of cat's cradle.
Xiao Cheng was completely dazed; her mind was buzzing, and the tinnitus was even worse. She thought she saw Fang He saying something loudly, but she couldn't hear anything clearly. She could only try to shout back, "What?! What are you saying?!"
However, she did not receive any further news.
Fang He's superpower was completely exhausted, and a whole section of the ceiling crashed down, burying them completely with a bang.
In the last second before losing consciousness, Xiao Cheng mentally gave A009 the middle finger, wincing in pain but still cursing, "Fuck this damn dungeon."
Xiao Cheng had a very long dream. In the dream, he was incredibly strong, defeating all sorts of monsters until they were begging for mercy on their knees. In the end, he walked alone through a long, pure black corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a broken door, through which blinding light shone through the cracks of various sizes. Through the door, one could hear the sounds of bustling traffic.
The familiar yet strange feeling made Xiao Cheng want to cry.
She had a premonition that as long as she pushed open this door, she could escape this damn game world and return to her original normal life, without monsters, without dungeons, without having to live in constant fear of death, and could live a normal and peaceful life until she died.
Push open this door and go outside.
Xiao Cheng could feel a surge of fervent longing rising within her. As if bewitched, she reached out and touched the rickety door.
But her movements suddenly stopped.
A mocking voice echoed deep within her: "Xiao Cheng, I told you long ago, you're a fucking coward."
……coward.
Xiao Cheng felt her thinking becoming a little sluggish. She tilted her head slightly and wondered, "So why did I choose to come here?"
As if sensing something, she suddenly turned around and looked back. The deep, dense darkness behind her slowly receded, and several familiar yet unfamiliar figures emerged from the shadows.
It wasn't exactly a human figure; to be precise, it was a corpse.
Su Xin, Xu Chu, Qiao Liao, and Liu Xiaoying.
They lay scattered in pools of blood, their eyes wide open in death, four pairs of empty eyes staring at them.
Then, a sharp smirk appeared on their lips, and following the voice in Xiao Cheng's heart, they exclaimed in unison, "Coward!"
Xiao Cheng was momentarily unable to accept it. She suppressed the urge to cry and staggered back two steps.
Behind her came the sound of something collapsing and shattering. Countless translucent fragments of memory rose up, enveloping Xiao Cheng completely, but silently disintegrated just as she was about to see the scene clearly.
The four corpses also vanished along with them.
The surroundings fell into dead silence instantly. Xiao Cheng turned around in a panic and went to find the door that had completely disappeared into the ruins.
An almost imperceptible fluctuation emanated from the air, as if one had stumbled into another dimension. Suddenly, the view opened up before one's eyes, and a thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air.
Fang He stood amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, gazing at her with sorrowful eyes, then slowly raised his hand in an inviting gesture.
"So let's make a deal, Xiao Cheng."
