Lu Cai led the way, climbing at a breakneck pace, but slowed down to accommodate the two people behind him. Hua Xiaochi followed behind Xiao Fei and Xue Yi, and finally 666. He distanced himself from them, keeping a close eye on the movements behind him.
When we climbed to the third floor, there was a deafening roar from below.
Lu Cai sensed that the barrier blocking the group of ghosts had collapsed. Her left wrist felt a slight sting, but it did not affect her movements.
"Hurry up!" Chief Lu warned sharply, then quickly climbed up. Finally reaching the elevator door on the fifth floor, Chief Lu raised his fist and pounded it.
Xue Yi, who was following closely below her, had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help but shrink his head. Then he watched as the elevator door deformed, and under Lu Cai's hammer, the metal door panel completely collapsed.
Lu Cai jumped in. This place was different from the corridor he had seen before. It was just a small, narrow space. Looking inside through the glass window of the fireproof door on one side, he could only see a small, dark room.
This should be a dedicated passage for employees.
She turned and headed towards the elevator: "It's safe for now."
Xue Yi hesitantly climbed out, Xiao Fei following closely behind. Suddenly, a shrill, earth-shaking ghostly howl erupted from below.
Cai Lu peered down from the doorway, seeing a lush green spreading from bottom to top. 666 grabbed a metal frame on one side, his long knife in one hand, and slashed downward, rumbling the wall.
The blade was sharp, and the ghost was indeed forced back.
Hua Xiaochi quickly climbed to the fifth floor and, along with Lu Cai, looked down. They saw a figure in a gray Tang suit gradually climbing up. The black cloak beside him moved back, letting him in.
The ghosts that were forced back by the blade overflowed again, and the entire elevator corridor was filled with screams and cold wind.
Lu Cai brushed past 666 and returned to the elevator entrance, watching the ghost pounce upwards.
"Light the fire!" Lu Cai said coldly.
Hua Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, then looked down, feeling a chilling, gloomy aura. Even though she couldn't see, that didn't mean she couldn't feel it, so she decisively clasped her hands together, palms pressed together, and focused her eyes.
His brows were furrowed, and then his palms suddenly separated, as if he was tearing something apart. A flame trembled and lit up in Hua Xiaochi's palm. The wind from the elevator blew into the door frame, and the flame instantly swelled.
Hua Xiaochi suddenly opened her eyes, and before her eyes, a huge flame blazed. She raised her hand and threw it, controlling the flame to fall downwards.
Seeing that the ghosts below were trying to escape from the flames, Lu Cai spread out a barrier to block the flames and pressed down hard!
With the red barrier, Hua Xiaochi retracted his power, and the flames continued to press down, straight to the basement. Then there was a loud explosion, and several people were shaken, and the building began to tremble.
"Oh my god!" Xue Yi exclaimed, "Sister Lu, calm down. Don't think about demolishing the building!"
Fortunately, the building only shook slightly and showed no signs of collapse.
Hua Xiaochi felt a chill above his head, and when he looked up, he saw only a hazy black fog.
"Lu Cai!" she exclaimed, and Lu Cai looked up in the direction she was looking.
Like dark clouds pressing down on your head, black fog gathers and surges, and when it comes into view, it can bring depression and fear to people.
"Can you still light a fire?" Lu Cai's energy was burned by the blast of fire. It was nothing to her, but it was still a loss.
She also remembered that the loss of superpowers was extremely dangerous for players. She did not understand the limits of Hua Xiaochi's superpowers and could not let him show off.
"It's no problem to light another fire--" Hua Xiaochi did not hesitate, continued to put his hands together, lit the flame and threw it upwards.
Lu Cai followed her movements, quickly spreading out the barrier, holding up the flames and forcing the black smoke back.
Amidst the pale red barrier and crimson flames, black smoke seethed, twisting and crashing into the barrier. Lu Cai stretched out his hands in front of him, palms facing upward, supporting the barrier.
The black smoke was burned and the heat expanded. After a while, a sea of fire suddenly exploded above the head.
Xiao Fei pulled Xue Yi back and hid in the fire door. Hua Xiaochi also retreated quickly, but she was not very afraid because she could control the fire.
Just as Lu Cai was about to put up a barrier to continue blocking the way, she felt someone pulling her left arm. She turned her head and saw a bony hand grabbing her. Then she was pulled back and a gray figure appeared in front of her.
Only 666's back could be seen, and then a flash of a knife appeared, and a huge force cut through the momentum and flames of the explosion.
Lu Cai stepped back and stood firm, then looked up again. All that was left was billowing smoke and a huge, deep knife-cut mark on the wall. The flames and the ink-black smoke were gone.
She walked forward, raised her hand and waved away the thick smoke in front of her. Thinking that 666 had helped her after all, she said hesitantly: "Good knife skills--"
666 turned his head and looked at her blankly.
Lu Cai couldn't tell the emotion in his eyes, so he coughed lightly and walked towards the doorway. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything except the thick smoke. She raised her hand and emitted a ray of red light.
The red silk sank into the thick smoke, and after feeling it quietly for a while, a tearing pain came back.
Her brows furrowed, her right arm trembled slightly, a warmth flowed through her palm, and finally dripped from her fingertips.
"You are injured!" Hua Xiaochi also took two steps forward and saw that Lu Cai's right hand was bleeding.
After hearing this, Lu Cai raised his right hand and saw the bandage soaked in bright blood, his face turned pale.
"It's eating away at my energy." Her tone was very calm. Although her face was haggard, she still sneered, "What the hell is it—"
Xiao Fei pushed open the fire door and carefully stuck her head out, only to see Lu Cai staring at his clenched fist right hand with a cold smile on his face.
She couldn't help but shiver and felt a strong gust of wind rushing out from the elevator door filled with smoke.
Xiao Fei was caught off guard by the strong wind, and heard another shrill ghost scream in her ears. She fell backwards and knocked down Xue Yi who had just gotten up.
After the shrill scream, the wind gradually died down and the rumbling sound of collapse could be heard muffled.
The passage to this employee elevator was completely blocked by rocks.
Hua Xiaochi opened her mouth slightly. To say she wasn't surprised would be a lie. She had never seen anyone demolish a replica building like this. Looking at the blocked elevator, she slowly said, "If we take the elevator, will we be eaten by the black smoke?"
“Probably…” Lu Cai lowered his arms, his shoulders seemed to relax, his whole body was weighed down by fatigue, and his hands and feet became heavy.
"If it's a temptation, why is it damaged at first?" Hua Xiaochi muttered to himself. If the elevator was intended to lure the player, it should have kept it open. Only in a panic would the player stray into it and become its food.
But the elevator was broken.
Lu Cai thought of the figure in white who sent him away and said he wanted to protect the ghost in the copy.
It seems that someone wants to protect not only the dungeon, but also the players who enter it.
"Can you guys file a complaint?" Lu Cai turned to look at Hua Xiaochi. "This dungeon has more bugs than mine. Why don't you go file a complaint?" Her gaze fell on 666, "A scavenger can't bully the weak and fear the strong. It's not like you're picking on the weak!"
Xiao Fei poked her head out: "Not now..." She said softly, "The copy signal is not good. Unless we die and activate the resurrection card to connect to the community area..."
When Lu Cai heard this, he realized that it was after she killed Cheng Mushen for the first time that she was harassed by the scavenger.
"Let's go find your friend first." Hua Xiaochi saw that she looked strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. In the KB game, everyone has some secrets.
Lu Cai nodded and turned to walk inside. Xiao Fei and Xue Yi, one on each side, quickly pulled open the fire door.
She took two steps and saw a gray figure, who was sheathing his long sword. Lu Cai raised his head slightly and met the other person's red eyes.
"How did you meet him?" Lu Cai retracted her gaze and continued walking without stopping, with 666 following behind her.
Behind the fire door is a place to change shoes and clothes. The floor is covered with plastic slippers, and there is a pile of hospital gowns in the corner of the room.
Hua Xiaochi thought the two of them were weird and was a little curious, but he didn't say much: "He fell into the morgue after entering the dungeon, and he fell down a little while later. I thought he was a player..." Now he is not sure whether he is a player or an NPC like Lu Cai, but there is a fierce murderous aura on him that can make people retreat.
Xue Yi couldn't help but chime in: "This guy looks fierce, just like Sister Lu, is he an NPC?"
Lu Cai chuckled in his heart, but did not point out 666's identity, for fear that he would be beaten up by the crowd.
"Is that the warrior who fought against the scavenger on the sixth floor of the community?" Xiao Fei was more self-aware and moved closer to Lu Cai.
"It's him." Lu Cai did not deny it. "He's been hunted by scavengers recently—"
Xue Yi immediately expressed his respect: "To be hunted down by scavengers, you seem to be a hero."
666 ignored him, but frowned slightly, and the hand holding the scabbard tightened imperceptibly.
Hua Xiaochi, who was walking in front, raised his hand to stop them from talking. He waited until everyone quieted down before pushing open the door on the other side.
This is the staff passage, completely different from the corridor that Lu Cai entered through the normal stairs before.
Outside the changing room is a narrow medical waste dump. A row of yellow medical waste bins lean against the wall, and yellow garbage bags are piled high. When there is no more space, they are piled next to the trash cans.
Some of the garbage bags were not tied tightly, and wrinkled saline bags, used needles and blood-filled hoses leaked out and fell to the ground, with black blood flowing all over the ground.
Cai Lu stepped over the blood and medical waste on the ground and walked to the closed blue electronic door.
There is a sensor next to the door frame, which requires an employee card to open it.
"How..." Xiao Fei hadn't finished saying the last word when she saw Lu Cai raise his fist and hammer the electronic door. She shut up. That was right. The path Lu Cai had hammered out when she entered the elevator was the path he had just created.
His fist struck the door, causing the electronic door to wrinkle. Lu Cai continued his attack, hammering it three or four times. With a soft boom, the electronic door loosened from the doorframe and tilted, becoming stuck in the frame.
Finally, Judge Lu kicked the electronic door, and it finally fell down firmly.
Xue Yi swallowed his saliva: "Sister Lu, your skill in demolishing houses is quite good——"
"Be careful once you get in." Lu Cai raised his palm, and three red threads flew out from it, rapidly injecting into the eyebrows of the three players, condensing into a crimson mole. "This red dot of mine cannot be imitated. If you find that your companions don't have this red dot... remember, don't trust them."
Her voice was calm and low, which, combined with the dim corridor behind her, was creepy.
Only the tallest young man in a Tang suit frowned, his eyes fixed on Lu Cai, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He noticed Lu Cai's gaze on him, so he raised his hand and touched his brow.
No red dots.
