Chapter 9
The dance scene five minutes ago.
The large crystal chandelier at the top of the banquet hall illuminates the entire dance floor with soft light, making the venue look gorgeous and dazzling.
"Let me see, which disobedient guest came to the ball without wearing an evening gown?" Vivian was wearing a pure white evening gown, with a graceful figure and beautiful lines, like a blooming flower.
But a terrifying smile appeared on her face, and the red lips curled up at the corners of her mouth reminded people of the scene of her eating human intestines in the morning.
Jiang Hongyu stepped back with a dagger in his hand and a serious expression.
The other players were also alert and ready to summon their weapons.
Suddenly, Gu Ziyuan's expression changed slightly.
His body was out of control. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all.
Not only him, but Chu Yue'er and other players who were not wearing evening gowns also experienced this situation.
"I suddenly can't move my body. What happened?"
"Me too."
Jiang Hongyu, who was wearing an evening gown, and the novice player watched the scene nervously.
Except for them, all the players who did not get evening gowns lost control of their bodies.
At this time, Luguna was hiding in the corner, peeking at the scene in the banquet hall, and he sneered.
This vicious woman.
Today I will make her pay back a hundredfold for the torture I endured being forced to work as a gardener all these years!
Luguna's eyes turned cold, and he ordered into the headset: "Everyone, move!"
In an instant, one after another strong men mixed in among the waiters jumped up.
A burly man with a scar across his eyebrows suddenly smashed down with a meteor hammer.
With a loud bang, the expensive crystal floor was instantly cracked and lines appeared.
Vivian's thoughts were interrupted, and she looked up angrily, "Who!"
Players who were originally unable to move regained control of their bodies.
Chu Yue'er and Gu Ziyuan exchanged a cautious glance, knowing they couldn't wait any longer. "Everyone, attack Boss Vivian together!"
Before attending the dance, Chu Yue'er and the others discussed strategies for passing the copy.
First, there was Vivian's unreasonable request:
It was clearly she who killed the person, but she still asked the players to hand over the real murderer.
This is clearly an impossible task.
So after Chu Yue'er and the others had a unanimous discussion, they decided to take advantage of Luguna's revenge and kill Vivian in the chaos.
As long as the dungeon boss dies, the dungeon will naturally be cleared.
Of course, it was also thanks to Jiang Lele who told them in advance this morning that Luguna wanted revenge, which gave them the opportunity to take advantage of it.
The veteran players quickly rushed forward, summoning their own weapons and items.
The novice players decisively evacuated the scene and hid aside to avoid causing trouble for the old players.
In an instant, all kinds of swords and sabers broke out on the dance floor.
The crisp sound of breaking glass echoed in the banquet hall, and the originally gorgeous ball turned into a mess in an instant.
"You bunch of lowly people, how dare you attack me." Vivian was already hysterical because of anger.
The next second, her long curly hair suddenly grew like trees in spring. The blonde hair grew rapidly and soon spread to half of the banquet hall, piling up densely. People with trypophobia would go crazy just by looking at it.
The players quickly retreated in caution.
"Oh my god, the fight is so intense!" Xiaogua's voice suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
At that moment, all the players realized: Jiang Lele is back.
"Luguna's preparations are quite meticulous. The entire castle has been infiltrated by his people. Now there is basically a hidden bomb every two hundred meters. I'm afraid Vivian won't survive tonight." Xiaogua continued to sigh.
Hearing this, it was like a reassurance was taken into the hearts of all the players.
Jiang Hongyu, who had been holding back his fighting, glared with bloodshot eyes and suddenly rushed towards Vivian, "Kill! Kill her!"
Luguna's expression darkened even more calmly as he ordered his men, "Everyone, work together to kill Vivian!"
"Boom..."
The time bombs that Luguna had installed in the banquet hall in advance exploded one after another.
Jiang Lele, Yu Cheng and the female ghost stood at the door of the banquet hall, watching the fierce battle scene in front of them.
Female ghost: “…”
From this moment on, she suddenly felt fortunate that she was just an NPC in a novice dungeon.
No matter how powerful the boss is, he cannot withstand a group fight between NPCs and players.
So, Vivian didn't hold on for long before she spat out a mouthful of blood and showed an unwilling look.
Her soft, dazzling golden hair had been singed by the bomb's remaining flames, and her luxurious evening gown was torn into rags and stained with blood.
"All of you must die." A trembling voice, suppressed with endless anger, came out of Vivian's mouth.
A bloody mark slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then her body began to swell and grow as if gas was injected into it.
"Oh no, Vivian is going to self-destruct, run!" Xiaogua suddenly shouted.
Jiang Lele grabbed Yu Cheng in one hand and the female ghost in the other and quickly turned around and ran out.
The other players also changed their expressions. Without caring about anything else, they turned around and retreated as if their lives were at stake.
[Warning! After testing by the Instance Monitoring Department, it has been confirmed that the current instance contains a serious bug. All instance NPCs are requested to cease all actions immediately. Any disobedience will be immediately eliminated.]
A cold mechanical sound suddenly resounded throughout the venue.
At the same time, a beam of white light fell on Vivian's head, and her body, which was originally expanding, was forcibly compressed back to its original shape.
Vivian, who was forced to end her self-destruction, said: "?"
The players looked up in astonishment and stopped running.
What's going on?
"The vast horizon is my love, and flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..."
A magical cell phone ringtone suddenly rang out, and it was extremely clear in the silent scene.
Jiang Lele came to his senses and touched his pocket.
It turned out that her cell phone was ringing.
Jiang Lele took out his cell phone and answered the call.
"Hello, I'm Xiang Bai, a third-class officer in the dungeon monitoring department. I've just activated the dungeon emergency abort mode. Where are you and the other players now?"
Jiang Lele pushed the phone to the ghost girl's ear and made a threatening gesture of wiping her neck at her.
The ghost girl shuddered and quickly said cooperatively, "We are in the banquet hall of the ancient castle. The dungeon boss and the players have been controlled. Come quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lele put the phone away and put it in his pocket.
The female ghost who was making the phone call stood by, gritting her teeth in humiliation.
“???”
All the players were shocked at the same time, as if their bodies were frozen, and they froze in place.
Chu Yue'er and Gu Ziyuan also began to feel thunder and lightning in their minds.
no?
The call Jiang Lele just received was from the Copy Supervision Department?
Vivian, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath while seriously injured, felt a sense of horror in her heart.
This player actually knows someone from the Supervision Department?
Could it be that the fact that she had just eaten the dead gardener had been leaked?
The recruited dungeon NPCs have employee rules to abide by, one of the most important rules is: dungeon NPCs cannot kill each other.
But today Vivian was so angry about the dead gardener cheating on her and contracting a disease that she killed him without paying attention.
After killing him, she smelled the blood and couldn't help herself, so she ate him again.
So later, in order to avoid responsibility, she wanted to put the blame on the players, but now...
Xiang Bai led a team of people wearing security-like uniforms into the banquet hall. He frowned and looked serious.
Seeing the messy and chaotic scene, Xiang Bai had a bad feeling in his heart.
If a novice player dies, he has to submit a 10,000-word inspection report to his superiors. Looking at the scene after a fierce battle, could all the novice players be dead?
How many words does he have to submit in the inspection report?
Xiang Bai frowned even more and began to feel worried.
"Who is the dungeon boss?" There was a hint of anger in the voice.
Vivian, whose leg was broken, couldn't stand up and could only sit on the ground and speak: "I'm here."
Xiang Bai quickly looked around the room, but found no one.
The veteran player who was standing in front of Vivian silently moved away and pointed behind her. "The boss is here."
Seeing Weiwei's lame leg, dirty body, and burnt hair, Xiang Baizhen was shocked and couldn't help but confirm:
"Are you really a rare-level dungeon boss?"
It's no wonder he was so shocked. He had never seen a boss in a rare-level dungeon being beaten so badly.
Vivian: "...Yes, I am."
Xiang Bai took out his cell phone and checked Vivian's identity in the information database.
It's really a rare-level dungeon boss.
But logically speaking, her strength shouldn't be that weak.
Just as he was wondering, Xiang Bai looked up and noticed the dozen or so players still standing there, and he immediately understood.
It turns out that the joint copy was caused by a bug, no wonder.
With so many veteran players attacking the boss together, their fighting power should be quite strong indeed.
"First of all, I want to apologize to all the new players. Dungeon bugs have indeed been quite frequent recently, and forcing you into rare-level dungeons is indeed a serious matter. Therefore, the Dungeon Supervision Department will provide some compensation to everyone. I hope you can understand."
"Also, I would like to confirm the number of casualties among novice players in this dungeon."
This is what Xiang Bai is most concerned about.
The more people who died, the more tens of thousands of words of inspection report he would have to submit. If everyone died, he might be demoted and go back to being a player.
Jiang Hongyu was with the new players. He quickly raised his hand and reported, "One died on the first night of entering the dungeon."
Xiang Bai was slightly startled.
A novice player was pulled into this high-level dungeon, and only one died?
Great! Then he only needs to submit a 10,000-word inspection report.
"That's good. You, the surviving novice players, are very lucky. I wish you will continue to be so lucky in the future." Xiang Bai showed a gentle smile.
The innocent new players felt warm in their hearts, thinking that Xiang Bai really cared about them.
"You know what? Luguna was pretty smart. As soon as he saw the people from the Inspection Department coming, he immediately turned around and ran with his men."
Jiang Lele asked casually, "Why is he running?"
"Because there's a staff rule for NPCs recruited into the dungeon not to kill each other, his revenge on Vivian this time actually violated that rule. But I think it's excusable. He's been cheated on so much, if he doesn't fight back, he'd be a coward."
The smile on Xiang Bai's face gradually froze.
"?"
What's with that sound?
But the point is, the NPC in this copy actually violated the rules?
He has to submit an additional 20,000 words for his inspection report!
