Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

In another safe zone, Su Lie smiled smugly upon hearing the news of a player's death.

These people probably never imagined that they would be killed not by other players, but by their own NPCs.

After he sends out the vengeful ghost, he doesn't go there himself. This way, everyone will think that these players are fighting amongst themselves, and in the end, the vengeful ghost can just bring the pass back.

Su waited to reap the benefits, but after the five players died and another half hour passed, Su Lie began to have a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The vengeful ghost has been gone for quite some time.

Could something have gone wrong?

To be honest, his ghost was only B-grade. He believed that apart from the players in the bottom-ranked team, no other player would take him seriously. That was why he let the ghost ambush him, because he couldn't beat it in a fight.

He and the vengeful ghost had only one contract, which had two functions: giving commands and summoning. Su Lie used the summoning skill, wanting the vengeful ghost to return quickly.

However, when the totem in the contract was opened, it was discovered that the totem was slowly disappearing. Two seconds later, the totem had completely disappeared!

Su Lie was greatly alarmed.

How could this be?

Where there is a totem, there is a vengeful spirit. Now that the totem is slowly disappearing, it means that the vengeful spirit has also disappeared.

Su Lie was extremely anxious. This vengeful ghost was very precious to him. It took him nearly 10,000 points to upgrade the ghost from C-level to B-level. He had raised it with great difficulty, and now it had actually run into trouble!

Su Lie didn't care about anything else; he quickly walked towards where the pass had fallen.

Half an hour later, Su Lie arrived at the scene and saw five player corpses on the ground, but nothing else.

Su Lie called out the ghost's name twice, but the surrounding area was quiet and there was no response.

At this moment, Su Lie felt a chill in his heart; the vengeful ghost he had raised had truly disappeared.

Su Lie gritted his teeth in anger. Who on earth was it?

He quickly calculated the teams in the safe zone. There were three teams here, but including himself, there were 12 players. His two teammates were with him at the time, so they couldn't have done that. That left 5 players.

There was only one pass dropped in their safe zone, and none of the five players showed up, making them highly suspicious.

Could it really be them who did it?

Su Lie suspected the other NPCs in his district, never imagining that his NPC had been beaten into a ball and taken away by two other NPCs.

Su Lie stood there, nearly going crazy.

If I find out, I'll skin this person alive.

Inside the park's safe zone, Song Yi transformed the little ghost that Zhou Yuyan had brought back, but the transformed energy was not used on Zhou Yuyan; instead, it was used on Xiao Bao.

This kid's level is too low. Zhou Yuyan won't improve much by absorbing his energy, but Xiao Bao can be upgraded by one level.

In Sky City, Zhao Xin finally gained access to the laboratory through Dr. Fate's connections.

Zhao Xin felt he had made a huge sacrifice...

He sent messages to Song Yi while exploring inside:

"Boss, I'm not a coward."

When Song Yi received this message, she didn't know how to reply. Couldn't this child be a little nicer to her?

How can you believe everything you hear!

He couldn't even imagine putting Zhao Xin in 007's company. He would definitely be the boss's favorite, a good-for-nothing who was raised on a lucrative job.

Inside, Zhao Xin secretly discovered that Qasim was conducting live experiments. Taking advantage of Dr. Fate's inattention, Zhao Xin sneaked into the laboratory's restricted area and witnessed the painful process of the test subjects turning into zombies due to gene incompatibility. He also took some hidden photos.

Time was of the essence, and there wasn't time to review the materials. After leaving the lab, Zhao Xin quickly shared all the useful information he had obtained with Song Yi.

Song Yi looked at the data sent by Zhao Xin. It was full of experimental data. Qasim wanted to extend lifespan, or rather, he wanted to live forever. So he recombined the genes of some ancient unknown creatures with human genes, trying to turn people into creatures with stronger combat power and longer lifespan. As a result, his plan failed. These people did not become better people, but instead turned into zombies.

However, the only live experiment that did not result in any mutations was number 343. Looking at the data above, Song Yi realized that number 343 was indeed Su Rui.

Lu Xiao stood on Song Yi's shoulder and looked at the documents with him:

"Our rescue of Su Rui was a lucky accident. We've obtained the pass and found the living test subject to save Planet 2313. We've met the two most important conditions. It seems we'll be able to complete the mission soon."

Song Yi shook his head. What Lu Xiao said wasn't entirely correct. He still had one crucial task to complete, which was also his initial reason for entering the game:

"There is another task."

Lu Xiao tilted his head: "What else?"

Song Yi took the little black cat off his shoulder. Its big, round eyes widened as Song Yi met its gaze.

“You can’t stay like this forever. We need to find Su Lie, make him hand over the method to extract the soul, and then let you return to your own body.”

Lu Xiao's cat-like body stiffened. Of course, he didn't want to stay a cat forever, and he certainly didn't want to remain in this game as an NPC.

However, Su Lie was not easy to deal with, and based on his understanding of Su Lie, Su Lie would not so easily hand over the method of extracting souls to let him out. Moreover, Lu Xiao guessed that Su Lie had entered the game this time to completely eliminate him.

"It's easier said than done."

"Unless~"

A cunning glint flashed in the eyes of both the human and the cat.

Little black cat: "Sneak attack him."

Song Yi: "Drug him."

Little black cat: "If you don't hand over what we want, we'll gnaw on your little penis."

Song Yi: "Tear off his clothes, record the video, and parade him through the streets."

Little black cat: "To humiliate him."

Song Yi: "Let him stay in the game as an NPC forever."

The little black cat bared its teeth, and he said that he and Song Yi should be friends, that they were thinking the same thing.
