Shi Jin was standing with his hands braced against the melting wall when she lunged at him. He lost his balance and fell backward onto the ground with a thud.
The weight of the two of them fell together, but he felt that this was nothing compared to the near-death experience he had just gone through.
At that moment, he felt like a snowman in the biting wind, the cold wind piercing through every crevice of the snow. You know your body is riddled with holes, but you have nowhere to escape.
A sharp pain shot through her neck, and Shi Jinzhe suppressed his instinct to dodge, gently patting her back. "Slow down..."
Noticing that Sheikh's strength had lessened, his body recovered, and he picked her up from the ground.
Those dozen or so hairy monsters returned to dust, ashes to ashes, not even a trace of human scum remained.
The isolation room was a mess, with shards of glass scattered all over the floor and the metal walls melted. The red mist had long since been dissipated by the shockwave.
Mr. Lan was lying on the ground, his face was cut by glass and bleeding, but he was still alive.
His colleague from Azure was in a worse situation; he was hit in the skull by something, and the white soup from his brain spilled onto the ground.
The other players were in slightly better condition, but they all looked pained. Shi Jin, holding Shekh, kicked open the destroyed door.
Xu Mingsui was kneeling on the ground, and just as he was about to stand up by supporting himself on his knees, he was kicked and fell backward, sliding several meters away.
"You're already dreaming before it's even dark; you want to take advantage of her too."
Shi Jinzhe never dared to think of such a thing. For the past month or so, he had been serving Shehe every day. Shehe's good attitude depended on his mood; he would only talk a few more words when he was in a good mood.
Xu Mingsui was good at taking advantage of others. In order to ensure his own safety, he implanted mycelium into those people in an attempt to infect him.
"Don't you think you're useless to her? You're just getting in her way when they're fighting." Xu Mingsui didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
He originally only wanted to team up with someone for this dungeon, but Sheh was truly amazing, a powerful female player who was perfect for teaming up with him to clear the dungeon together.
Leaving aside force, the differences in male and female thinking can lead to various speculations and unexpected effects in puzzle-solving scenarios, thus speeding up the puzzle-solving process.
He kept looking for teammates like that, but he encountered either mediocre players who were neither good enough nor bad enough, lone wolves who ignored everyone, or even people who wanted to exchange their bodies for him.
Sheikh was the teammate he had met who best fit his goals, and he needed this person.
People have varying degrees of closeness; if you team up with her, then her original teammates must die.
"Compared to her, I am indeed useless, but I know my own limitations and will not have unrealistic expectations."
Shi Jinzhe had a clear understanding of himself. Let alone Shehe, as long as he remained a cheater, he was useless compared to anyone else.
He tried his best to do everything he could, but there was a limit, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Xu Mingsui sneered, "So you know you're useless too. No wonder you've been clinging to her. You can't do without her protection, huh?"
He emphasized the word and cursed at Shi Jinzhe: "Useless."
“He’s the only one standing, so I think he’s much better than you, you piece of trash kneeling on the ground.”
Shekh's lips were still bleeding, but he had successfully used the blood from the Time-Extinguished Blood to suppress the energy that hadn't been bound back by the ribbon.
Shi Jinzhe's blood smelled so good that she couldn't resist. She had just confirmed that the scent that made her feel so comfortable was indeed Shi Jinzhe's blood.
Shekh doesn't allow anyone to talk about her blood donation kit.
"If we're not going to keep this person, do you still want to test the poison?"
Sher's words warmed Shi Jinzhe's heart, which had been pierced by the cold wind, after he was forced to donate blood.
He truly hadn't expected that Xu Mingsui, that lunatic, would fall for someone else's teammate faster than flipping through a book.
Shi Jinzhe suspected that if this man ever took a fancy to someone else's wife, he would dare to steal her away.
"Disgusting, I'm not trying." Shekh stared at Xu Mingsui, then, after making eye contact, he controlled Xu's body, making him walk out step by step through the corridor they had come from.
It was only then that Shi Jinzhe realized that the damage to the corridor was more severe, and the isolation room was only less dilapidated because of its special material.
Fortunately, only the innermost of the three-layered gate was damaged; the outer two layers were still intact.
I had hoped that the building would be protected from fungi and that there would be no problems, but it was still damaged.
Xu Mingsui really relied on the fact that he wouldn't be infected and thought he could control the whole situation.
His plan to spend the next thirteen days discreetly in the Azure Building has been disrupted, and now he has to switch to a backup plan.
...
Under Shekh's control, Xu Mingsui began to kneel down next to the first-floor door and lick the floor.
This move is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
Xu Mingsui never imagined he would be humiliated like this. What was even more infuriating was that his hand was stepped on, and the butterfly knife fell out and was picked up by someone.
"I'll take this as compensation for you calling me trash." Shi Jinzhe picked up the knife, twirled it in his hand a few times, and found it to be a good fit.
He remembered seeing his classmates playing so coolly when he was in high school, and even tried to learn it for a while. He ended up with a lot of cuts on his hands. Later, when he finally mastered the skill, his family thought he was too unreliable and had to throw it all away.
Now that I'm picking it up again, I need to practice before I can get the hang of it.
Xu Mingsui's strange behavior attracted the attention of other people in the building. Some were wearing work clothes, while others were dressed casually and relaxed, looking more like family members watching the spectacle than employees.
Meanwhile, an accident occurred in the isolation room, and the person in charge of Azure finally appeared. Mr. Lan followed behind an old man in his seventies, his face still covered in blood, his eyes full of shame.
"Second Uncle... that person on the ground showed me his special abilities."
The old man gestured for a stop, coldly observing the farce: "What are you trying to do?"
"We don't need anything, just let us stay in this building for a while." Shi Jinzhe put on a very easygoing attitude, which attracted the old man's attention.
But when he looked over, he was not met by the young man who was speaking, but by a woman whose eyes were covered with ribbons.
"We...we will treat you with the best of our ability..."
As the old man spoke those words under control, Xu Mingsui felt a lightness in his body and, realizing the control had disappeared, immediately tried to get up.
However, a butterfly knife pierced his temple from the side, heading straight for his brain.
