Cheng Shuang took two steps forward, approaching the thin membrane barrier. Just as she reached out to touch it, the robots on either side of the sofa activated their weapons and aimed at her.
Liao Yuewei and Du Lanshan immediately became alert and prepared to activate their skills, their eyes fixed on the homeless man on the sofa who held absolute authority.
Cheng Shuang noticed that the beautiful old man leaned back almost imperceptibly, sitting completely on the sofa. His posture seemed relaxed, but in reality, his back was straight, indicating that he was in a state of high alert.
The situation got a little out of control for a moment!
The little girl, mimicking the haughty manner of the beautiful man, tilted her head with a blank expression and asked, "Do you want your men to kill me right now? I'm not crossing any boundaries; I just wanted to touch what's blocking my way!"
"Don't waste your time. With this barrier, you can't attack me or cause me any harm," the beautiful old man warned. Although he waved his hand, ordering the robots to lower their weapons, the eyes of the twenty armed robots, which had turned red in an instant, still scanned the three of them like infrared beams, without moving.
Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "You're being too cautious. We won't hurt you, much less kill you, so what are you afraid of? We should be the ones who are afraid!"
"Humans, cunning." The beautiful old man uttered four words, his mechanical voice rising slightly, "Answer me, do you need my assistance?"
The aggressive attitude made the little girl's mind race. Even in the land of death, there are rules. Now it seems that the donation is more like a trap, waiting for those who want to profit from it to fall into it completely.
The existence of the Colosseum is by no means simply because wanderers enjoy killing and bloodshed; perhaps it was a smokescreen they created to circumvent the rules.
"If I agree, can you come closer? I've never seen such a beautiful older sister like you!" Cheng Shuang blinked her big eyes, her soft voice filled with the innocence and admiration unique to children.
The beautiful but stern man asked in a deep voice, "Is this an additional condition for the funding?"
Cheng Shuang smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The beautiful old man lowered his head in thought, his entire being so still as to be almost devoid of any life force. After a moment, he said, "Have the other two retreat to the doorway."
Du Lanshan said angrily, "Why do you have so many problems!"
"Uncle Du!" Cheng Shuang turned to the side and shook her head at Du Lanshan, "It's alright!"
Du Lanshan glared at the 'person' inside the transparent barrier with resentment and helplessness, then turned and walked to the door first.
Liao Yuewei glanced at them coldly, then backed away to stand beside Du Lanshan. The receptionist at the door gave them a friendly nod, which the two, in their displeasure, completely ignored.
The first to move were twenty armed robots. They walked out from both sides of the sofa and stood in a row along the transparent barrier. Only then did the figure on the sofa get up and walk to the middle of the row of robots, looking down at Cheng Shuang.
"Did you see clearly?"
"I see it clearly!" Cheng Shuang nodded with a smile. "So, do you see it clearly now?"
Suddenly, a black claw emerged from her stomach, clutching a card.
【Hometown in Dreams: Wandering far from home... Unable to achieve their wishes for various reasons, they can only relive everything about their hometown in their dreams. When they wake up, they are filled with sorrow and tears.】
Note: The person you see in your dream might be someone you hate or someone you love; it all depends on your luck!
When the beautiful lady realized something was wrong, she was already standing still, with one foot still dangling in mid-air. Thanks to her superhuman balance, she managed to stand on one leg without swaying.
It fell into a deep, sweet dream.
Cheng Shuang, who had been on edge, breathed a slight sigh of relief. She exchanged a glance with Du Lanshan and Liao Yuewei, who had quickly locked the receptionist out of the door. The two hurried back to her side, and Du Lanshan cautiously took out a card while observing the armed robot.
These twenty armed robots were completely unresponsive, standing motionless with numb expressions, as if they had not noticed anything amiss. It was as if they had lost all mobility and become mere weapons because their master had not given them any further orders, and would only be a few pretty decorations when no one was operating them.
Clearly, Cheng Shuang made the right move by not rashly attacking the master they were protecting.
Although she used a card, it was a card with no offensive power.
Since there is no harm done, it does not violate the established procedures for their protection and counterattack.
As everyone knows, cards are hard to find. The more deadly places you pass through, the faster your cards are consumed, and the fewer opportunities you have to obtain them.
Apart from Cheng Shuang, who no longer relies on cards much, everyone else at the convenience store counts their cards by the number of cards they own.
What Du Lanshan is bringing out now is still the little girl's inventory—【???Fellenda Tower: Once you crawl inside, you will be invincible, knocking down anyone you bump into. Of course, after a certain point, it's not necessarily who will fall! Note: This card is a master card; it is invalid without a child card.】
Liao Yuewei then produced a sub-card: 【Nobody Helps Anyone: Help nobody but the Eiffel Tower. Each time you help it, the tower shrinks by ten centimeters. Be careful, if it shrinks too much, you might get trapped inside and have no chance of escape! Note: This is a sub-card, has no star rating, and is invalid without a mother card.】
Amidst the violent knocking and banging on the door, a two-meter-tall iron tower suddenly appeared. Du Lanshan nimbly slipped inside, and the tower, as if it had wheels, charged wildly towards the transparent barrier. Visibly, the barrier rippled, and the robots activated. They raised their weapons, their eyes bloodshot, and smashed a tower-shaped hole in the barrier, then tackled the beautiful but arrogant Du Lanshan to the ground.
