What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Qiuyue blew a long whistle and clapped her hands, saying, "Look who this is? Our protagonist has appeared, and he is here to save the damsel in distress!"

Xiao Yuan looked very angry, but he seemed to be feeling somewhat unwell. He unconsciously slightly closed one eye, which made him look a little uneven.

"How dare you! I think you all don't want to live anymore!"

Xiao Yuan now looked at his men who were preparing to rebel, and felt extremely regretful.

If he had known this, he would not have dealt with the former owner of the castle so easily.

He knew that Clay was somewhat undisciplined, but he never expected that he would be so bold as to plot against him!

Xiao Yuan did not initially intend to let Clay inherit the role of the castle owner because he was not loyal enough.

Clay is an NPC transformed by a player, not a character created by Xiao Yuan, so he cannot guarantee that Clay has no ulterior motives.

Judging from the current situation, Xiao Yuan had to admit that the worst outcome was already before him.

Clay, taking on the role of the dungeon boss, is ready to rebel.

"If I had known earlier, I should have transferred a BOSS from another copy!" Xiao Yuan was just holding on to his body. He covered his waist and abdomen, gritting his teeth.

Clay stared at Xiao Yuan with his bright red eyes and laughed wantonly: "What are you talking about? If you can really mobilize other BOSSes, you will never let me out, right?"

"you!"

After Clay finished speaking, he snorted disdainfully. Even if Xiao Yuan was the controller of the game, the monsters in the dungeon could not be easily moved.

In addition, the Xiao Yuan in the dungeon is the player Xiao Yuan, not the god Xiao Yuan. How can he cross this dungeon to mobilize other BOSSes? It's simply a fool's dream!

Besides, no one knew better than Xiao Yuan that there were very few bosses of the same ability in S+ level copies.

There is no other choice as the monster substitute in this copy except Clay.

Thinking of this, Clay with red eyes glanced at Lin Zhuo beside him: To be honest, if he hadn't dealt a heavy blow to the owner of the castle at the very beginning, Xiao Yuan would not have let Clay out.

Clay turned around and looked at Xiao Yuan again, but it was he who sent the owner of the castle to cause trouble for Lin Zhuo, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

However, if he wanted to deceive himself, he advised Xiao Yuan to forget it!

"What are you talking about?" Zhou An, who was hiding behind Xiao Yuan, was crying loudly, but this did not prevent him from hearing the conversation between Xiao Yuan and Clay clearly.

What kind of transfer? What kind of boss? Who is Xiao Yuan?

Zhou An was confused as she listened with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but interrupt to break the deadlock between the two.

"nothing!"

At this point, Xiao Yuan still wanted to hide his true identity from Zhou An, but Qiuyue was not going to let him off easily.

"Oh, don't you know?" Qiuyue's steps were light and agile. She passed Xiao Yuan directly like mist and came in front of Zhou An.

"Get out!" Xiao Yuan took out the pitch-black chain from the space and attacked Qiuyue fiercely, but it only penetrated her figure and nailed her into the wall.

Qiuyue sat down gracefully beside Lin Zhuo, and then said to Zhou An: "The man next to you is our immediate superior. Didn't he tell you this?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yuan pulled back the chain and wanted to continue to whip Qiuyue, but he was suffocated by the sudden severe pain in his body. He had to kneel on one knee and curl up his body slightly to relieve the pain.

This damn backlash!

Zhou An's attention had been drawn to what Qiuyue said, and he didn't pay any attention to Xiao Yuan's situation.

Zhou An even forgot to cry, and just asked in shock what Qiuyue meant.

"That is to say, I am an employee, Clay is the team leader, and Xiao Yuan is the boss; Clay and I work for your brother-in-law, do you understand?" Qiuyue held up her face and smiled brightly.

Similar to the fact that the partner changes from an ordinary person to a CEO in a second, this seems to be a good thing? But Zhou An doesn't think so.

Even a dungeon boss like Clay was working for Xiao Yuan, so what was the other party's identity? Was he the manager of this game?

So, why did he fall for me? What did he want from me? Was he really saying he liked me? What was I to him? A lover or a pet to pass the time?

Zhou An fell into self-doubt. He kept asking himself in his heart: What is Xiao Yuan's purpose in approaching me? !

But in fact, these were not what Zhou An wanted to ask. The first thought that came to his mind after hearing Xiao Yuan's identity was something that even he felt was a bit shameless, but he could not ignore it. His heart was beating so fast that his eardrums seemed to be about to explode.

The thought became clearer and clearer amidst the intense heartbeat, and Zhou An couldn't help but ask himself over and over again, and he even wanted to ask Xiao Yuan.

Why can't you send me away?!

Xiao Yuan obviously has that ability, doesn't he? And he once said that he liked me, didn't he? Then why, why couldn't he send me away from the game? !

Why do you make yourself suffer in the game? Is it to laugh at yourself?

Or does it mean that in order to make myself more dependent on him, and to make myself inseparable from him, I have to make myself suffer first?

Xiao Yuan panicked after hearing Qiuyue's words. He propped himself up and turned around to explain to Zhou An, but as soon as he opened his mouth he coughed up blood.

Xiao Yuan looked at the blood coughed out from his palm and realized that it would be best for him to rest and get through this period of backlash; but he also knew that if he left now, he could not guarantee Zhou An's safety, let alone whether he would be able to see Zhou An again.

"Xiao An! Listen to me..." explain!

Before Xiao Yuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou An. Zhou An looked unhappy, as if he had been wronged and extremely sad. He asked Xiao Yuan, "Why me?"

"......" Xiao Yuan couldn't say.

"Can't you just let me go?" Zhou An asked Xiao Yuan, pulling his sleeve.

Xiao Yuan had no way of answering. There was no way he would let Zhou An leave!

"Okay, I'm not in the mood to watch you two pour out your hearts to each other!" While the two people nearby were still watching the young couple quarreling with interest, Lin Zhuo suddenly broke the situation.

"What does this have to do with you?! You are a human being, what qualifications do you have to speak here!" Xiao Yuan glared at Lin Zhuo fiercely. If it was not really inconvenient for him to move, he would definitely pounce on him and strangle Lin Zhuo's neck with the chain until his neck was broken!

Lin Zhuo was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just stared at the blood dripping from his mouth and laughed: "You really can do anything to protect Zhou An. How about killing a player with your own hands? The backlash must be very uncomfortable, right?"

Even though Xiao Yuan had used divine power to punish Clay before, the backlash was only minimal; but because he killed Wen Chuan as a player, the backlash from the laws almost made him breathless. It can be said that if he was not a god, he would have exploded and died long ago.

"You know everything?!" Xiao Yuan couldn't believe that even a tiny human like Lin Zhuo knew his true identity. He stared at Clay and Qiuyue, thinking that they must have told Lin Zhuo.

Zhou An just shook his head desperately after hearing Lin Zhuo's words. What does "for oneself" mean? Did Xiao Yuan kill other players for himself?

Seeing Xiao Yuan suffer because of Wen Chuan, Lin Zhuo felt a sense of pleasure, otherwise he really didn't know how he could endure until the end of the copy.

"In order to make Zhou An leave, you really did whatever it takes. You killed Wen Chuan in order to reduce Zhou An's opponents, right? If these players hadn't died quickly enough, you would have had to deal with them one by one." Lin Zhuo said as he sat at the table. He didn't intend to get so close to Xiao Yuan.

"But guess what, will Xiao Yuan, who has done so much for you, be willing to let you leave the game?" Lin Zhuo suddenly said to Zhou An. His eyes were cold, which made Zhou An feel uneasy.

Zhou An opened his mouth to ask what Lin Zhuo meant, but Xiao Yuan suddenly jumped up and grabbed Zhou An's wrist, and told him not to listen with a ferocious look.

Zhou An's tears began to flow again. He trembled and did not dare to speak to Xiao Yuan.

If I can't leave the game, where should I go?

"Guess if you will still be free?" Lin Zhuo laughed and put his arms on the back of the chair. "I'm afraid you will have to live in his hands for the rest of your life, right?"

"Shut up! I told you to shut up!" As Xiao Yuan roared loudly, several thick chains appeared under Lin Zhuo's chair. Lin Zhuo's figure became illusory and left his original position. The next second, the chair was shredded into pieces.

"You have such a bad temper." Lin Zhuo landed lightly beside Qiuyue, crossed his arms and looked at the two of them.

"Xiao An, listen to me..." Xiao Yuan looked at Zhou An almost with pleading eyes.

Zhou An didn't want to listen: "Let me go! Please let me go!"

When Xiao Yuan heard that Zhou An was leaving, he felt as if his brain was torn apart. Coupled with the non-stop pain in his body as if he was being crushed, the double torture made Xiao Yuan unbearable. He was like a barrel of explosives, exploding immediately.

Xiao Yuan grabbed Zhou An's arms fiercely with both hands: "You can't go anywhere! You can only stay by my side! I did so much for you not to make you leave the game and leave me!"

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't! Let me go!" Zhou An tried desperately to break free from Xiao Yuan's hands, but it was of no avail. The other party's strength was terrifyingly great.

Xiao Yuan just felt tired at this time. Zhou An didn't have to put in any effort to pass the dungeon, and he put everything in front of him; those who made him unhappy were basically dealt with by him. Obviously, Zhou An knew all these things in his heart, but now he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and him based on a piece of nonsense. Forget it!

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if you don't admit it! I'll take you away now!" Xiao Yuan didn't want to get entangled here anymore. Even if Clay and the others were going to let Lin Zhuo go, he didn't care. He wanted to get rid of his player identity now and take Zhou An back to his palace.

And Lin Zhuo was waiting for this moment.

As black air filled up Xiao Yuan and enveloped him, Lin Zhuo took out the golden scale from the system backpack.

Lin Zhuo chose to use the item on Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan was halfway through the transformation, but due to the rules of the game, he had to face the item first.

The golden scale is called I Am Justice. In front of it, the player needs to tell his true identity. It is mostly used in copies where monsters are hiding among the players. Players generally call it a magic mirror.

As the controller of the game, Xiao Yuan certainly knew what this thing was and its function, but he didn't know what Lin Zhuo meant.

Moreover, I am now in a very delicate stage.

But under the intervention of the law, Xiao Yuan had to introduce himself: "Xiao Yuan, the game player and the god who created the game."

"Stealing card!" Almost the next second after Xiao Yuan finished speaking, Lin Zhuo threw out another prop.

It was a poker card with a thief's head printed on it. It was the second prop that Lin Zhuo, who didn't see it clearly at 0617, drew and suited his taste.

"Fuck you?!" Xiao Yuan didn't expect Lin Zhuo to have props, and under the influence of the theft card, he couldn't move. He could only feel something slipping away from his body, even his divine power.

How?! What did he do?!

The steal card can obtain all the opponent's abilities within five minutes, even including the right to use them.

The tricky thing about it is that the party whose information is stolen cannot take any action within five minutes; but there is also a limitation, which is that you need to know the other party's true identity before you can use it.

After all, the players in the game have layers of aliases, and when the other party intentionally conceals it, it is often impossible to figure out the player’s true identity.

Lin Zhuo changed the beneficiary of the props to Clay, because Clay, as the dungeon BOSS, could not use the props.

"We agreed on this." Lin Zhuo gestured to Clay.

Clay closed his eyes immediately. He seemed to be controlling some invisible things, so that the pressure around him became much heavier.

Qiuyue clasped her hands together and stared at Clay tightly. She kept praying in her heart. This was their only chance and they must succeed!

Lin Zhuo was very calm. He looked at Xiao Yuan, whose eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that the other's eyeballs were about to pop out because he could not move.

The other party seemed to notice Lin Zhuo's gaze and cursed at him.

He looked like he wanted to break my neck.

Lin Zhuo chuckled. Just kidding, Xiao Yuan looked really funny!

Five minutes passed quickly, and when Xiao Yuan was able to move again, he roared and wanted to kill a few people, but in front of everyone, he exploded into a bloody flower with a bang.

Zhou An was so shocked by the scene that he sat down on the spot. The blood from Xiao Yuan's explosion splashed on him, and soon, his body was soaked.

But no one paid attention to Zhou An's situation. Qiuyue was the first to react. She screamed in surprise: "It's a success! It's a success, right!"

Clay smiled and nodded. He transferred Xiao Yuan's power to himself. Without the blessing of divine power, Xiao Yuan's body could not withstand the consequences of the backlash and exploded into a firework.

"Okay, I've done what I promised you. Now it's time to solve my problem." Lin Zhuo walked slowly to the window and quickly pulled open the curtains on both sides.

Now, it is already the early morning of the seventh day.

Outside the window, the round blood moon hung silently in the sky, but its light shining on Clay revealed his true identity.

Clay stood in the blood-red moonlight with a smile. On his head were rabbit ears made of blood mist, and his body seemed to be made of blood mist as well.

Lin Zhuo pointed at Clay and said, "I point to Clay as the rabbit."

"Congratulations, you have cleared the dungeon."

Clay looked calm, covering his chest with one hand, and bent towards Lin Zhuo, then stood up again. A blood-red door appeared beside him.

The door slowly opened, revealing a white passage behind it.

Clay looked at Lin Zhuo: "Go through the passage and you will be able to return to the real world."

Lin Zhuo stood still: "I want to make a wish to you."

When the red moon is full, it may listen to your wishes.

Clay nodded slightly at Lin Zhuo, motioning him to continue.

"I made a wish, hoping that Wen Chuan would come back to life and return to the real world with me."
