Chapter 16

"Ring-ring"

Not far away, the alarm sounded without warning, making a harsh monotonous sound in the dark and dead space.

Su Cheng's movements paused, as if disturbed by the sound, turning his head slightly to the side and looking in the direction of the alarm clock.

...a great opportunity!

Wen Jianyan took advantage of the moment when the other party took his eyes away from himself, his waist snapped, and a pair of long legs wrapped around the other party's shoulders and neck, and pressed down hard by his weight!

Suddenly, Su Cheng was knocked down heavily, and there was a loud bang on the back of his head and face.

Wen Jianyan exerted strength in her arms and pulled the fishing rod outwards fiercely.

Almost most of the peony 'medicine' that sank under the swamp was pulled away, but Su Cheng began to struggle again, and Wen Jianyan could hardly hold him down.

In the distance, the sound of the alarm has been greatly reduced.

Just like that.

It only rings for two bells at most, and then the mechanism on the metal casing will be destroyed and it will stop sounding.

There was not much time left for him.

Wen Jianyan's heart was beating wildly, sweat dripping from her forehead.

He was trying to hold the peony medicine to keep her from sinking, and at the same time he had to control Su Cheng who was mad... He was really hard to support alone. All started to get sour.

...no more procrastination.

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth, grabbed the thin fishing line with her fingers, then went around it, pinched Su Cheng's wrist under his knee, and jumped to the side.

Su Cheng was dragged a few inches in the direction of the Flesh Membrane Swamp——

He began to struggle, trying to get rid of the fishing line on his wrist.

Wen Jianyan grabbed Su Cheng's body and took advantage of the two's weight to fall backwards!

The "medicine" of the peony was abruptly pulled from the depths of the flesh membrane, and the body slammed heavily on it, making a dull sound of "bang".

Waiting for Wen Jianyan to let go, Su Chengcheng got rid of the slack fishing line on his wrist, and rushed towards him again in silence.

The alarm sound gradually weakened, and there was almost only a little intermittent mechanical sound, which came from the depths of the thick flesh membrane.

Its voice was no longer enough to attract all the firepower. The thin, flesh-red mouthparts swayed in mid-air, poking in the direction of Wen Jianyan and Su Cheng.

"..."

Wen Jianyan struggled to avoid the sharp, bloody shards of glass on the opponent.

Su Cheng's appearance is not normal. Compared with the other party's temporary anti-water reaction, it is more like he is under control, or has some kind of alienation... He tried his best not to hurt the other party, so he acted to restrain his feet, but Su Cheng had a scruple. .

After a while of fighting, Wen Jianyan's physical strength is almost exhausted. He is not a martial arts master. At most, he is good at physical fitness and has a little skill. Now he is facing the tireless Su Cheng. Wen Jianyan was even more disadvantaged and only retreated.

I don't know who touched the torch on my face, and Gululu rolled.

The flickering faint light changed in the dark laboratory, and the beam of light swept across Su Cheng's face——

His face was very pale, bloody like wax, with the slightest expression on his face, his pupils shrunk to the size of pinpoints, and he looked as dull as a wooden clay sculpture.

Wen Jianyan was startled, and seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

Su Cheng looks like...

He didn't say a word, his limbs were stiff, and he would suddenly attack frantically... It looked almost exactly the same as when he first entered the dungeon.

[Integrity First] There was also a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room because of Su Cheng's strangeness.

With the shaking of the camera, a barrage suddenly popped up:

"!!! Look at the back of his neck!"

On the back of Su Cheng's pale neck, he could vaguely see something in black, a bit like a silk thread, but also a bit like a worm, quietly crouching under the skin, embossed in the slightly dazzling light, It doesn't look real on the move.

"What is that!"

"Is it a copy of something?"

"I don't know...but I always feel a little familiar..."

Wen Jianyan frowned, he looked at Su Cheng who was rushing towards him again, he turned to the side and let go.

With the strength of the opponent rushing forward, he reached out to the back of the opponent's neck, and "groped" something that was wriggling under his fingertips, and Wen Jianyan's face became ugly.

He endured the discomfort, grabbed the thing and yanked it!

In the next second, Su Cheng was like a puppet whose silk thread had been cut off. His limbs suddenly lost the strength to struggle, and he fell to the ground, and his voice remained motionless.

Standing in Yuan, Wen Jianyan was panting, looking down at the thing in her palm by the faint light of a torch not far away.

Like... a spider.

The body is extremely small, only the size of a fingernail, but the six legs are extremely long, as thin as silk threads, the belly is dark, but the tips of the six legs are red like drops of blood.

After being pulled from the body, it twitched twice at Wen Jianyan's fingertips, and then stopped moving.

Wen Jianyan watched as it turned into a thin sequin in his palm and dissipated in the dark air.

Wen Jianyan stared at his empty palm with a thoughtful expression on his face.

If he guessed wrong, it should be the talent of a certain anchor in the oracle, implanted into Su Cheng's body, "manipulating" him into the dungeon, and doing death-like behaviors at key points.

In fact, Wen Jianyan couldn't figure out why Su Cheng was controlled in the system space.

You must know that when all streamers are in the system space, their talents are disabled, but Su Cheng was caught in the system space...

If it's a bug, then it all makes sense.

After all, there is a time difference between the eggs and the hatching adults, and a certain distance difference is also created according to each individual.

If the eggs stay outside the dungeon and are placed on other anchors, and the anchor enters the dungeon to activate the talent and perform remote "manipulation", then, theoretically, the anchor is a talent activated in the dungeon, It does not violate the rules of the system.

Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes, the oracle association, in order to maintain its monopoly position, really did nothing.

His eyes passed over Su Cheng, who was lying still, and he licked the roots of his teeth with the tip of his tongue.

After leaving a copy, he has to have a good talk with Su Cheng to see how everything happened.

Not far away, the alarm sound has been swallowed.

The whole space returned to silence.

Wen Jianyan stepped forward quickly, took out the prepared rope, tied the peony "medicine" that she had dragged over, blocked her mouth, and let out a breath of relief, and sat down on the face.

He was covered in cold sweat, and there were several more wounds on his body, some were scratched by broken glass pieces, and some were scratched when he rolled up and down. The wound on his palm cut by the fishing line was hot and painful. Can't stand up straight.

Wen Jianyan raised her eyes and looked around.

Next to him was the unconscious Shao Yao, not far away, the yellow hair bound with five flowers lay on top, Su Cheng also lay there, motionless, like two black stones.

Not only did he find a way to drag them down, but he also had to slip away the two people downstairs.

"..."

Wen Jianyan's head started to grow big when she thought about it.

He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the blood in his palm mixed with the sweat on his forehead, leaving a few blood spots on his face, how embarrassed he looked.

As he was about to do so, there was a sudden "ding" sound in his ear.

A brand new audience bounty popped up in the task bar on the side.

Wen Jianyan swept aside and paused.

[Go to the cabinet on the right and open the drawer from the left]

【Rewards: 500】

a bounty...

interesting.

Wen Jianyan turned her head to look at the party mentioned in the reward, and sure enough, on the right side of the hall, there was a tattered and dusty cabinet.

What's more, that is covered by neurons far more than any other location.

Wen Jianyan's search for something sounded in his heart.

Is it...?

It's okay to try anyway.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, stood up, picked up the flashlight that was rolled aside, and then dragged her tired body towards the cabinet.

Wen Jianyan followed the prompt and opened the drawer from the left.

The sound of the task completion notification sounded in my ear.

Five hundred accumulated easily into the account.

However, what attracted Wen Jianyan's attention the most was not Wubaiji.

He looked inside the drawer, and a row of dusty little glass tubes came into view, and the surface seemed to contain some cloudy "liquid" that he didn't know what it was.

Wen Jianyan paused, and carefully used the torch to shine upwards.

The label printed on it had yellowed and faded, and the edges were wrinkled, as if it had been corroded by age, and could barely make out a few English letters.

Wen Jianyan only half guessed based on her own experience——

"an...t...dot...antidote?"

Antidote?

Is it an antidote? !

Although he had thought before that since an alienated state would not be completely fatal, then there might be something that could reverse the process.

But what Wen Jianyan thought was that something was actually found by himself.

Almost in disbelief, Wen Jianyan turned her head and glanced at the task bar on the side with a surprised expression.

Thinking of it, the skills that were abused by those unscrupulous audiences and released strange tasks actually came in handy at critical moments.

He opened the live broadcast interface, raised his eyes, and thanked him seriously.

If using the antidote, Huang "Mao" and "Peony" and "Medicine" wake up, it will greatly reduce the workload and difficulty of his subsequent work.

In the darkness, the blood slowly slid down his drooping phalanx, condensed on his fingertips, and he was about to fall for two seconds, and then he was breaking out of the tension. Under the inspiration of gravity, the sound dripped downward.

It entered the red flesh membrane and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wen Jianyan took the antidote from the drawer, then turned around and walked towards the two tied to death.

With the viscous turbid "liquid" injected into the body, Huang "Mao" and Shao "Yao" woke up in turn. They blinked slowly, and their faces were blank, as if they didn't know where they were.

Wen Jianyan lowered her voice and used simple words to summarize what happened before. After confirming that both of them were conscious and understood the current situation, they took off their gag and loosened them.

Huang "Mao" turned his aching wrist, glanced at Su Cheng, who was lying motionless not far away, and asked with lingering fears:

"He, shouldn't he wake up for a while?"

To tell the truth, none of them would have thought that Su Cheng, who had behaved like a reliable person along the way, would actually backstab at a critical moment...and in such a dangerous environment, he would be caught off guard.

Wen Jianyan nodded and shook his head again: "don't worry, even if he wakes up, he should be in danger."

The bug disappeared, and the control on Su Cheng's body was lifted.

Shao Yao on the side lowered her head and rubbed her wrist.

Her memory was intermittent, and some messy pictures flashed in her mind, like a dream, but not like...

Shao "Medicine" looked around thoughtfully.

His eyes swept across the swamp behind him, and then passed over Su Cheng, who was motionless on his face, as well as the broken glass slag and fighting marks scattered around.

She was stunned, and her eyes fell on Wen Jianyan who was not far away.

Could it be that the clips she thought were dreams were real? guy...

However, while waiting for Shao Yao to speak, Wen Jianyan raised her eyes, pointed at Su Cheng, and asked in a low voice:

"Help me lift him down?"

Shao "Yao" opened her mouth and swallowed the rest of the words back into her throat. She nodded, stepped forward, and Huang "Mao" supported Su Cheng, who was unconscious, on her shoulders. .

They took their steps lightly and stepped out cautiously.

Wen Jianyan paused, turned her head and swept around the dark, empty laboratory behind her.

Although the mission of the [Exploration Laboratory] is still completed, and he still has time to find clues related to the Ouroboros, he has too many things to worry about now, so he just left with regret.

The flashlight finally swept around the laboratory, and then accompanied by the footsteps that were too light to catch, it gradually drifted away until it was completely swallowed by the darkness.

It was dark again in the laboratory.

When there is any sound, those quiet, seemingly alive flesh membranes suddenly wriggle! The neuron-like bizarre semi-fluid slowly flowed down from the wall, and the "dew" was always covered, and the iron nameplates on the small compartments were engraved with numbers one after another—

01, 02, 03, 04...

The last compartment was the most polluted, with a dark face that seemed to be stuffed with terrifying beings that could describe its form.

Thin, hose-like things connect the neurons on the surface, and as they fade and spread out, they gradually "reveal" a similar shape.

Wen Jianyan walked down the stairs carefully.

His pace was abrupt.

A familiar, mechanical system sound rang in my ears.

[Plot offset: 68 Reward points: 10000]

Sixty-eight out of one hundred? !

Wen Jianyan's expression of astonishment was revealed.

It was still as many as a hundred before, why did it suddenly double?

[Ding, it is detected that the plot offset has reached the threshold, and the copy is undergoing uncontrollable changes! 】

[New plot is opening...]

[Alienation countdown: 00:10:00]
