Chapter 630 It’s Coming

Chapter 630: They're Here

Wen Ya and the others were a little lost by the turn of events.

When they felt the entire building tremble and heard the loud crash from the elevator shaft, they instinctively looked over at Su Bai and Wu Hang, who stood nearby.

After all, judging by the current situation, Su Bai and Wu Hang were not only the most powerful and mysterious among the player team but also seemed to know things the rest of them didn't.

"It's fine," Su Bai said, likely noticing the players' stares. He gave his usual distant, standard smile. "The 'person' who's here to fix the problem just showed up."

"I'm sorry."

The other players heard Su Bai apologize out of nowhere.

"This building's already starting to spiral out of control. Even if we did nothing and just kept doing tasks for vending machine points like before, this game scenario wouldn't last much longer," Su Bai shook his head. "The monster that attacked Shen Guanlan and me earlier was sealed on the 66th floor. And now, even the building's front desk manager and the concierge can no longer contain those monsters' rampage. No matter how much coffee they make, it's useless."

Since there was a big information gap between the other players and Su Bai, Wen Ya and the others were confused when they heard this.

Still, they could tell that the game scenario they were in was in trouble.

"So, you're saying if we don't fix this, even if we diligently complete our daily tasks and save up enough points, we'll still get killed by the monsters breaking out of the 66th floor?" Wen Ya tried to sum up what she'd heard.

Su Bai didn't say anything else, just nodded.

"Mr. Su, can this 'person' making all that noise handle the monsters on the 66th floor?" Chu Qianren frowned thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's why they're here," Su Bai knew how tough the Eerie Entities were, born from remnants, especially since Chi Liu was a powerful Vampire Remnant when he was alive.

"Then, after they take care of those monsters, can we still keep doing our tasks?" Chu Qianren seemed to catch on and pressed on, sounding urgent.

This time, Su Bai shook his head and said regretfully, "Sorry, but if I'm not mistaken, the whole building exists to seal away the monsters on the 66th floor, and the whole game was built for that purpose. So once the situation on the 66th floor is resolved, the game will most likely be forced to end."

"How can that be? We've already saved up a lot of points! If we just hold on a little longer..." Perhaps because the others' expressions and tones were too serious, the players who'd been quietly saving up points all looked panicked, and Xiong Yi couldn't help but blurt out in a panic.

"If that's the case, we'd better use our points before the game gets shut down—at least they're still valid for now," Chu Qianren looked at Wen Ya, and the two nodded at each other, clearly buying what Su Bai was saying.

"And if things really get that bad, we can't just rely on other 'people' to act for us," Wen Ya thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Making full use of those points now should allow us to break through our limits in a short time."

"I, I think so too!" Lu Jinyan, who had been barely noticeable, suddenly spoke up. Although he was a newcomer with little ability, he and his fellow newcomer Zhou Shirong had tried their best not to cause trouble for the other players during the game.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Su also said the game would only 'most likely' be terminated, right? Maybe, just maybe, after the monsters on the 66th floor are dealt with, we can not only continue the game but also have guaranteed safety. By then, we could get the big guaranteed ability!" Xiong Yi was still struggling, even turning to look at Su Bai. "Mr. Su, after the problem is solved, the game won't necessarily end immediately, will it? At least we'll have time to exchange our points, right?"

"I really can't guarantee anything," Su Bai clearly wasn't interested in the other players' arguments. "After all, in terms of identity, I'm just a player too. No one knows..."

"Boom—!"

Before Su Bai could finish, he was interrupted again by a roar that was now right at hand.

This time, Su Bai, Wu Hang, and the other players left the office area and stepped into the rest area outside.

Everyone looked over in shock, only to see that the originally closed elevator doors now looked as if something had pounded them heavily! The hard metal door panels trembled violently under the continuous blows, instantly caving inward with several bowl-sized holes. The shape of those dents unmistakably resembled heavy fist marks!

Those indented marks were clustered near the gap between the doors, forcibly tearing a slit open between the two panels.

"Boom!"

Then, a pair of dry, bony hands—veins bulging and skin deathly pale—reached out from the gap. The ten fingers gripped the edges of the door panels like steel claws!

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding screech of tearing metal, the arms suddenly exerted force, and with brute strength, they ripped the heavy elevator doors apart, prying them open!
