Chapter 25 (1/2)

“What he fuck? What’s going on?” Tang Mianmian shouted and ran towards Xiao Tangqiu, instinctively hiding behind Xiao Tangqiu until he realized a moment later that he was actually a little taller than Xiao Tangqiu. There was no way to hide behind him…… But after struggling with that for a second, he still stayed behind Xiao Tangqiu without any hesitation.

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t think there was anything was wrong with that either. In the past, when he and Tang Mianmian live streamed horror games together, he was basically always the leader, so he was always the first one in the line of danger. “Calm down first, did you hear that just now?”

“Hear….hear what?” Tang Mianmian stammered, “Do you mean the system’s voice?”

Before he could answer, Luo Mansu answered Tang Mianmian’s question. Luo Mansu’s face changed drastically as he cried out, “The mission has been upgraded?! This can’t be! This was clearly just a D-level mission! How the fuck did a D-level mission get upgraded to S-level?! “

Xiao Tangqiu reacted immediately. Obviously, everyone had heard the system’s voice report the mission upgrade just now; it wasn’t just him. He also keenly noticed the change in Luo Mansu. Before that, he always suspected that Luo Mansu was hiding something. But now his suspicions were confirmed.

If Luo Mansu’s reaction when faced with danger before was somewhat superficial, then his panic at this moment was obviously from the heart – it was real terror.

“S-level mission?!” Yan Yiyan was also frightened out of her wits. “This can’t be! This can’t be!”

She turned to look at Xiao Tangqiu and the others. Her expression turned ugly, “What the hell did you do just now? How did we trigger an S-level mission upgrade? Are you all fucking idiots?! An S-level mission isn’t something that you can simply pass! If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”

Next to her, Xia Jingjing and Xia Chenxuan also looked pale. Xia Jingjing trembled with fear, “Yan Jie, what should we do? There’s no way we can complete an S-level mission! We’ll die! We’ll definitely die!”

Xia Chenxuan tried his best to remain calm, but he was also greatly shaken, “Let’s just get out of here first!”

They had no objections, so with a heavy heart, they hurried towards the gates of Yun Manor. But soon, they were shocked to find that aside from the Yun Manor, the entire Yunjia Village had been swallowed up by the abyss! The abyss continued to spread, and everything that had been engulfed by it had started to crumble and fall apart.

They fell into a state of horror and silence until Xiao Tangqiu finally opened his mouth to say, “Does this mean that the location of this mission is limited to the Yun Manor?”

Luo Mansu laughed bitterly, “Generally speaking, there are no time or space limits for S-level missions. Although only a few people actually make it out of an S-level mission, some of their experiences have been shared with us. But this kind of S-level mission that was upgraded due to us triggering certain conditions during the mission, contains a lot of uncertainties. We don’t have any experience to refer to, plus there aren’t any hints……”

They were supposed to complete a mission but they didn’t know what the mission was, and on top of that, they were completely in the dark and inexperienced. Was it even possible to complete such a mission?

It was simply impossible ah!

“There is indeed no punishment,” Luo Mansu said with a wry smile, “but even if there’s no punishment, do you think we can get out of an S-level mission alive?”

Even if there wasn’t any punishment for failing the mission, the premise was that they could successfully make it to the end!

Xiao Tangqiu was about to ask something when Luo Mansu’s face suddenly turned ugly, “Someone’s coming!”

“Who is it? The BOSS?” Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered that Fang Lan had mentioned a “he” and immediately became vigilant.

They turned to look back and saw a figure gradually approaching the gates – that person had actually walked out from the abyss!

“Who is it?!” Yan Yiyan shouted.

“It’s me! It’s me!” The man replied, “Why did you leave me behind when you ran away earlier?”

They were shocked to hear that and stared intently ahead – the man who appeared from the abyss turned out to be Lu Dadong!

Lu Dadong….. That’s right! They had forgotten about Lu Dadong! This useless, good-for-nothing coward who had done nothing but eat, sleep and wait to be saved had actually managed to muddle along to the end!

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. Wait a minute! There seemed to be something wrong about this……

“Why did you leave me behind……”

Lu Dadong muttered as he walked slowly towards them.

Yan Yiyan and the others also noticed that something was wrong and immediately shouted, “Stop! Don’t move!”

“Why did you leave me behind…..”

Lu Dadong continued to mutter to himself; it seemed that he couldn’t hear what anyone else was saying. He walked straight towards them…… Xiao Tangqiu finally realized what was wrong about him – it was his walking posture! Lu Dadong’s walking posture looked very wrong!
