Chapter 128 Hot Blood Company (16)
As Mo Qianhe walked downstairs, he analyzed, "Perhaps in this instance, the NPC's 'feeling unnatural heat' is a clear sign of employee disloyalty.
"So all the executives we're investigating, including the CEO, seem to be getting agitated."
Min Liang was puzzled: "According to what you said, Mr. Pancreas is always sweating. So is he a loyal employee?"
Liu Tang thought for a moment and replied, "If this guess is correct, it will further support our assumption. Although Mr. Pancreas is always sweating, he is different from other executives in one respect."
Xian Hai: "Old?"
Feng Xiansu: “…”
This guy is really out of his mind.
Liu Tang shook his head: "It's the environment."
Min Liang understood: "The other NPCs are working in extremely low temperatures, but their body temperatures are still very high.
"And Mr. Pancreas is always sweating profusely because he's in the production department, which is already very hot."
Mo Qianhe nodded: "And when I was having breakfast this morning, I noticed that the other NPCs were eating cold food, while Mr. Pancreas and several employees in his production department were eating hot food.
"This shows that although he is sweating from the heat, he is not really afraid of the heat."
Xian Hai finally understood: "I see. Now I understand."
Feng Wenbai raised the most crucial question: "Now that we know who our loyal employees are, how do we get through this?"
Everyone fell silent again.
When the six players reached the 20th floor and opened the door to the safe passage, they felt a heat wave rolling in from inside.
"It's so hot. Is it okay for us to go in like this?" Feng Xiansu asked uncertainly.
Min Liang was passively affected by his innate skill and had a certain degree of immunity to fire damage, so he was the first to rush into the production department floor.
Although it felt hot, there was no life-threatening situation.
He nodded to indicate that it was safe for the others, and the remaining five people entered the 20th floor one after another.
"Maybe the heat inside the company is different from the heat outside the company." Liu Tang guessed.
"We don't know when the black fog will find us again. We have to hurry." Mo Qianhe reminded the others and quickened his pace to rush forward.
Min Liang rushed to the front to lead the way and said loudly: "When I left, the old man was still in the office. I guess he is still there now."
When they finally reached the office door, they heard a familiar voice: "One, two, three, block."
A system announcement echoed in everyone's minds: "You are under the effect of the prop 'One, Two, Three, Statue.' For five minutes, when the prop user looks at you, please do not move, or you will be turned into a piece of wood."
Mo Qianhe was the first to react: "Everyone, don't move!"
The other five people reacted quickly and stood still. Only Xian Hai was a little slow to react and was still taking steps forward.
He felt the sensation under his feet begin to fade. He looked down and saw that his left foot had turned into wood just as he was about to take a step forward.
"Ahhhh! What, what's going on!" Xian Hai didn't dare to move anymore, but the fear made him unable to help but scream.
Min Liang warned loudly: "Don't panic! This item has a time limit. As long as you don't turn completely into wood within five minutes, you will return to normal after five minutes!"
When Xian Hai heard this, the fear in his heart subsided a little.
But he noticed that the area of his body that had turned into wood was spreading little by little, and he became more nervous: "The wood area is spreading!"
Min Liang said, "Don't keep looking down. Moving your body will accelerate your transformation into wood."
Mo Qianhe carefully turned his eyes and looked around.
I saw Lao Cheng holding a knife against the old man's pancreas neck and slowly coming into view.
Although the old man Pancreas didn't quite understand what was happening, he didn't dare to move because the knife was at his neck. He could only follow Lao Cheng's instructions and move forward little by little.
Lao Cheng stared at the six people in front of him without blinking.
While the prop is in effect, as long as he keeps staring at these six people, they will not be able to move.
"It seems that you are not that stupid. You can react so quickly and know who the loyal employees are." Lao Cheng said, with a winner's arc on his lips.
He held the old man's pancreas hostage and approached the six people who were standing still little by little. He passed by them sideways and then retreated to the safe passage.
From beginning to end, his eyes never left the six people.
He tilted his head, focusing his attention on Xian Hai, and seemed to understand something: "It seems that this Mr. Xian leaked the information so that you can keep up with my progress."
After the black fog that threatened Lao Cheng exploded, Lao Cheng had enough time to review what had happened and gradually came to his senses.
He quickly deduced that Mr. Pancreas was the employee he was looking for.
What he didn't expect was that just after he found the old man Pancreas, he heard the sound of other players running towards him.
Lao Cheng realized that it was almost impossible for him to lead an NPC out of the siege of six players by himself, so he had to use his last chance to use the props.
Fortunately, all six of them fell into the trap.
Just as Lao Cheng was retreating step by step, Mo Qianhe raised his hand without hesitation, used the prop "prank ink water gun", and shot Lao Cheng in the eyes.
Lao Cheng quickly dodged the ink and unconsciously avoided looking at the player opposite him.
Because Mo Qianhe was acting under the watchful eyes of the old city, his hands quickly turned into wood. He shouted loudly: "Catch him!"
Liu Tang and Min Liang took advantage of Lao Cheng's averting of his gaze, moved quickly, and pounced on Lao Cheng regardless of anything.
Lao Cheng observed with his peripheral vision, timing it perfectly. When the two men rushed towards him, he quickly raised his eyes and shouted, "Feng Wenbai, the system contract is effective. Help me 'use the props to stop these people'!"
Min Liang and Liu Tang only felt their bodies pause, and their legs and hands began to turn into wood.
Feng Wenbai, who was still hesitating whether to take the risk, moved unconsciously when he heard Lao Cheng's order. He took out a "Binding Rope" from the system backpack and threw it out. The rope automatically extended, trapping Mo Qianhe and the other five people and tying them together.
"Dad! Why are you helping him?!" Feng Xiansu was completely confused.
Feng Wenbai tied up the five people, and because he was acting under Lao Cheng's watchful eyes, some wooden parts appeared on his body.
He was also confused and thought for a moment before answering, "I don't know. I feel like my body is out of my control."
Lao Cheng straightened his clothes and looked at the players before him, all of whom, with the exception of Feng Xiansu, were gradually turning into wooden pieces. A smug smile appeared on his face. "Why else could it be? Because when I sold you the 'Scapegoat' item, I signed a hidden system contract with you. When you agreed to purchase it, you were essentially signing this contract. It included the condition that you 'do something for me.'"
When Feng Wenbai heard this, he remembered that a transaction interface containing the contract terms did pop up during the transaction.
The terms were folded, and he thought they were no different from the transaction instructions displayed in other previous transactions, so he didn't click to read them. He didn't expect that this person had laid a trap so early.
Lao Cheng turned around and saw that Mr. Pancreas had already run towards the elevator while he was not paying attention. He leisurely chased after him and said, "Don't run away, old man. There is a power outage now. The elevator can't be used. You can only use the emergency exit."
Mo Qianhe shouted behind him, "How are you going to clear the level? Are you going to hand over the old man Pancreas to Mr. Brain? That may not be the correct way to clear the level."
Lao Cheng turned his head to look at the wooden area where the disease was spreading more and more seriously, and at Mo Qianhe who was still tied up, and said: "You are wrong. Handing over the pancreas to the brain boss is not a foolproof way to pass the level, but it is a feasible way to pass the level.
“However, this way of clearing the level can only allow me to clear it alone.
"The reason you think this method is problematic is because you are too greedy and want everyone to complete the game at the same time."
As they were talking, everyone heard the sound of the elevator door opening.
Lao Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the old man Pancreas actually pressed the elevator button.
He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "So, executive NPCs can use the elevator during a power outage? That's good. It saves me from having to carry an old man up more than thirty floors and being caught up by you guys."
As he said that, Lao Cheng sprinted forward quickly, took out a knife and held the old man Pancreas who was trying to enter the elevator hostage again.
He turned around to look at the players trapped together in the distance and laughed wantonly: "Hahahahahahaha, it went really smoothly!"
Soon he will be able to hand over Mr. Pancreas to Mr. Brain and complete the game on his own, and these thorns in his eyes will be eliminated forever.
This copy was really fruitful.
Not only was he released from the "Avici Hell", but he also eliminated the powerful opponent who was in his way.
It really makes me happy just thinking about it.
At this moment, a hand made of black smoke stretched out from the elevator outlet, grabbed Lao Cheng's head tightly, and crushed his brain in an instant.
The blood plasma splashed onto the face of Mr. Pancreas, who was standing nearby, and frightened him so much that he let out a hoarse scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The black fog laughed wantonly: "Hahahahaha, I killed him! I completed the task assigned by the Brain Boss! I can get a new body!"
This black fog is still He Miao.
She lost consciousness again after the previous explosion.
When he regained consciousness, he found that his body made of black smoke had recondensed and returned to the air-conditioning duct.
After eating an executive, she ended up exploding, so she no longer dared to eat executives casually.
She wanted to obtain information from the players to determine who the loyal employees were, or to kill Lao Cheng, whom Mr. Nao wanted to kill first, which would also be a good idea.
Having made up her mind, she began to look for the players everywhere, but the company was too big and she searched many floors without finding any trace of the players.
At this time, He Miao found that the elevator started moving.
She knew someone must be trying to use the elevator. If she waited in the elevator, she would definitely find the player.
So she quickly got into the elevator and hid in the air vent.
The elevator finally stopped on the 20th floor, and he saw Lao Cheng with his back to him.
Although she saw Lao Cheng holding the old man Pancreas hostage and had some doubts about whether this was a loyal employee, she did not dare to try to swallow him rashly because she did not know much about the previous situation.
So she chose to kill Lao Cheng first.
The black fog laughed loudly and quickly penetrated into the central air-conditioning duct, disappearing without a trace.
Everyone stared at the unexpected scene before them with wide eyes, and the system broadcast echoed in their minds: "Player Lao Cheng has been eliminated. Please continue to work hard to pass the level."
"The prop 'Three, Two, One, Wooden Man' has lost its effect."
"The system contract is invalid."
The body parts of the people that had turned into wood gradually returned to their original state. Feng Wenbai regained control of his body and put away the "Immortal Binding Rope".
After witnessing such a bloody scene, Min Liang and Xian Hai both felt extremely uncomfortable and each found a corner to vomit.
Seeing a person's brain being crushed is a bit too shocking.
Feng Xiansu and Feng Wenbai quickly stepped forward to comfort the old man Pancreas whose face was splattered with blood.
Mo Qianhe stood there in a daze.
Liu Tang approached him and opened his arms to hug him.
He didn't know what to say and could only express his concern and worry for the other person with a hug.
The audience in the live broadcast room also had a heated discussion:
"No, I'm going to vomit for a while."
"Luckily I turned on the bloody scene blocker, so the whole thing was mosaiced."
“It’s so scary, so exciting!”
"Oh my god, oh my god, is that liar Lao Cheng really dead?!"
"Hahahaha, this old immortal is finally dead! How satisfying!"
"Although, the clearance guide he shared a while ago is still good..."
"I used the strategy he gave me to save my life, and I have mixed feelings..."
