I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 40 You're a bit extreme
The monster's roar gave Cao Yu a very strange feeling. If you listened carefully, you could hear the cries of many different creatures. When these sounds were combined, they not only made one feel psychologically uncomfortable, but also felt as if their eardrums were about to be ruptured.

Monsters... safe house... Cao Yu immediately realized the situation.

The entire city's flesh and blood are now collapsing, the square has become a safe house, and monsters are roaming outside—judging from the roars of these mixed creatures, it must be "Gonghai".

"Shared Remains" is not something an E-rank player can handle; encountering it means certain death.

It can be said that the dungeon has entered its final stage.

The entire city is now in eternal sleep, and the normal functions of the instance have ceased to exist. Other players naturally lack the resources to complete the first side quest.

There's a deadly crisis outside the safe house... In this situation, who knows how the other players will be dealt with in the dungeon?
Just to be on the safe side, Cao Yu reminded An Li:

"If the others come here later, you play the bad guy and knock them all out."

"..."

An Li did not refuse.

Anyway, since she was wearing a Pikachu hood, nobody recognized her.

The ones who did the bad things were the pickup truck robbers, what does that have to do with An Li?
Soon, Cao Yu and An Li were surprised to find that the other surviving players, namely the six fitness instructors, were directly teleported into the plaza and entered a brightly lit safe zone.

Is the design of the instance so user-friendly?

"What's going on? I was fighting the farmers, how did this suddenly happen...!?"

"Has the dungeon encountered another unexpected turn of events? A new crisis?"

"I haven't gotten rid of the stamina-reducing negative buff yet!"

"Could it be related to a big shot... uh, I saw a big shot."

While the other players were still wondering what was going on, the man and the female executive quickly spotted Cao Yu.

Cao Yu gave An Li a subtle look, then moved closer to the players' group.

As he walked, he called out to ask:

"What's going on? How did the teleportation suddenly activate? Did you trigger some hidden rule?"

"Huh? Boss, you don't know the situation either?" the green tea man said in surprise. "I thought this phenomenon was related to you... We were all suddenly teleported here in the middle of a hunting operation."

"Could this instance have a second phase of danger?" The fitness instructor said with a grim expression, "This is too sudden!"

At this moment, Cao Yu and An Li had approached the six of them.

From the moment the grave was built, An Li kept the props in an active state. Therefore, after arriving at the six people's side, she immediately calculated the location in her mind and silently aimed at the back of their necks.

No one was on guard against her.

Everyone trusts the reputation and goodwill that Cao Yu has built since entering the instance... They're too busy trying to curry favor with him to bother with any defenses.

As Cao Yu's follower, An Li was also considered a trustworthy person by everyone.

This scene filled An Li with emotion... No wonder Cao Yu always had positive energy on his lips; it turns out it had such a wonderful use.

I've really learned something!
The next instant, An Li suddenly launched an attack.

Under her control, a surging repulsive force was generated in six directions, striking the back of the necks of the six fitness instructors.

Four people were knocked unconscious on the spot.

The only people still awake are the fitness instructor and the female warrior.

Both of them felt dizzy, their bodies swayed, and their consciousness became somewhat blurred.

They could vaguely hear Cao Yu's questioning voice:
"What are you doing...? No! You've been controlled by a monster!?"

An Li did not reply.

While using the props, she released two corpse puppets, which approached the fitness instructor and the female warrior respectively, binding their bodies.

Then, she activated the item again, striking the two who had no way to dodge.

The two of them couldn't hold on this time and fainted.

This sneak attack was executed flawlessly and smoothly.

After knocking the person unconscious, An Li was not at ease.

She manipulated the werewolf corpse puppet, crouching down beside the six unconscious people, and swung down with her long, sharp claws, aiming for their necks... then stopped just before touching their skin.

None of the six people responded.

Hmm, it seems they really are unconscious. She then took out a bottle of medicine that Cao Yu didn't recognize from her storage space, unscrewed the cap, and held it to the noses of the six unconscious people, letting each of them smell it for about ten seconds.

After doing all this, she put away the potion and looked at Cao Yu, saying:

"That's fine. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll sleep until the dungeon ends and they'll be automatically teleported back. Even if we do manage to get an S rank, they won't know."

Cao Yu couldn't help but ask, "What do you do in real life?"

Although he was the one who directed An Li to play the bad guy and knocked people unconscious, wasn't this little girl's routine a bit too practiced?
“High school student,” An Li replied. “This time next year, they’ll be taking the college entrance exam.”

"I really didn't see that coming," Cao Yu complained.

An Li glanced at the six unconscious people and said:
"I thought you would kill them all to prevent the secret from being leaked."

"..." Cao Yu had no idea how many times An Li had left him speechless, so he could only reply, "You're going a bit to extremes."

“No, I thought you would do that,” An Li said with envy. “My moral compass is a bit too high; I can’t be as good as you.”

"You really are a pervert..." Cao Yu said, "Let's talk about idle chatter after the dungeon is over. Now..."

He looked out of the square:
"With the safe house as a backup, we can go out and scout the situation. Let's assess the strength of 'Shared Remains' first, and then consider whether we should... um?"

A sudden, massive tremor occurred in the ground.

In the distance, the sight of collapsing high-rise buildings came into Cao Yu and An Li's view.

A colossal creature was moving recklessly through the city, tearing apart everything in its path and rapidly approaching the fountain square.

Soon, the enormous monster appeared in Cao Yu and An Li's sight, bringing them an indescribable visual shock.

Its height... or rather its diameter, is estimated to be over thirty meters. When standing on the ground, it completely exceeds a 10-story residential building, and the whole thing presents a huge spherical shape.

However, its surface is not smooth, but covered with features of various creatures: the terrifying mouthparts of a katydid enlarged to the same scale, the sharp forelimbs extending like those of a ghost mantis, and the enormous tentacles that move nimbly like those of a giant squid, each with its own spiral mouthparts shaped like those of a lamprey...

Grotesque mouthparts, terrifying limbs...

It was a chaotic sight, comparable to an evil god, that could kill someone with trypophobia on the spot with just one glance.

It is the shared remains.

Boom! The massive body of the symbiote rolled toward the fountain square, only to crash into an invisible barrier, creating a deafening roar that triggered an earthquake-like reaction.

The air currents were like waves rolling on the sea, visible to the naked eye, but they couldn't penetrate into the fountain square.

The safe house provided shelter and stopped this monster, which resembled a mythical creature.

The mouthparts on the monstrous body all made sounds in unison, and the mixed roars echoed into the square, making Cao Yu and An Li feel so uncomfortable that they almost vomited.

It continued to crash into the invisible barrier, shaking the entire square. Cao Yu felt a dizzying sensation.

Fortunately, the safe house provided excellent protection, and there was no sign of it being breached.

After regaining his balance, Cao Yu asked An Li:

"Won't the other players be woken up?"

"..."

An Li understood—they were planning to attack the Gonghai and get an S rating.

Even when faced with such a monster, they still don't give up... After adjusting her mindset, An Li replied, "The mind-control potion I let them smell is a game item that will cause mental interference. Once an E-level player is affected, they will sleep like a dead pig for 12 hours and won't be able to wake up."

After answering Cao Yu's question, she asked in return:

"A monster of this caliber...you're prepared to take action?"

"The original Co-Skeleton was a city of flesh and blood. Now, its size is as small as it can be."

Cao Yu's tone unconsciously became more impassioned:

"We've completed all the side quests, and the dungeon offers the chance to take it down. It's time to give it a shot!"

He wasn't a gambling addict.

But with serial number 11 as a powerful offensive weapon and a safe house as a backup, such a huge advantage is that if he doesn't give it a try... he probably won't be able to sleep well for a week or two after the dungeon ends and he returns!

"it is good."

Seeing that Cao Yu was quite confident, An Li agreed and then took out three bottles of potions and drank them—a mental potion, a physical potion, and a potion that Cao Yu didn't recognize.

Remembering that he had even obtained an "aphrodisiac potion" in the previous dungeon, Cao Yu didn't think much of it. He took out the potion, adjusted his status, transformed into a zombie, and was the first to rush out of the safe zone.
