Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1324. Echoes from the Abyss (14)

Feng Xi jolted awake and instantly became clear-headed.

He looked at the phantom in front of him, and then, imitating Lin Bei, he stepped against the rules and crashed hard into the shadow.

The shadow vanished instantly upon impact, transforming into specks of musical notes that merged into the chaos.

But more phantoms surged up, seemingly endless, surrounding everyone from all directions.

Some phantoms transformed into Lin Xi, mimicking her movements but deliberately going off-beat; others transformed into Guo Yuelang, beckoning to him and luring him off course.

The group was forced to retreat step by step, and the musical notes under their feet became fewer and fewer, and increasingly unstable.

"This can't go on!" Guo Yuelang said, only to realize that no one could hear him.

Lin Xi's gaze swept quickly across the chaos.

Suddenly, she noticed a unique area deep within the chaos in the distance.

The notes there were neither distorted nor regular, but rather arranged in a chaotic manner, like a jigsaw puzzle that had been deliberately scrambled.

“There!” Lin Xi pointed to that area with her finger.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and hope ignited in their eyes.

Guo Yue took the first step, her left foot stepping east and her right foot stepping west, her body swaying as if she were drunk.

The other hotties followed suit, each making extremely strange movements; some hopped on one foot, some walked sideways, with absolutely no discernible pattern.

The phantoms pounced on them frantically, their hands piercing through their bodies, trying to disrupt their rhythm.

Some phantoms even transformed into musical notes, wrapping around people's ankles, trying to change their pace.

Xin Ye's hair was pulled by the phantom, and strands of hair turned into musical notes and disappeared.

Wang Yiyi's clothes were torn open, and the fabric blended into the chaos.

The phantom brushed across Feng Xi's cheek, leaving a cold mark, but she felt no pain whatsoever.

Lin Xi's vision began to blur, and everything in front of her became a double image. She could only move according to her instincts, following the footsteps of the person in front of her.

Her consciousness began to fade, her mind went blank, and only one thought remained: she couldn't stop, she couldn't change the rhythm.

Just when they were about to give up, they finally rushed into the chaotic area of ​​musical notes.

The notes here no longer move or distort, but are piled together in an extremely discordant way.

In the very center of the area, there were no elaborate markings, only an ordinary stone.

There was a crooked scratch on the stone, as if someone had scratched it with their fingernail.

The words written on it are: Echo Seal.

—What is this thing?

—I don't know.

—The Echo Seal, is it something that can restore sound?

—This dungeon is way too difficult.

—If it's not difficult, how could the whole team be wiped out?
The person who designed this dungeon is ruthless!
—This broken game is ruthless enough.

Without hesitation, Guo Yuelang walked to the stone, stretched out his hand, and slapped the stone three times with the most irregular movements.

The first time, the scratch on the stone flashed; the second time, the surrounding phantoms began to emit silent screams, their bodies rapidly dissipating; the third time, an invisible wave spread out, enveloping the entire Final Sound Domain.

This fluctuation had no destructive power; instead, it carried an extremely noisy "feeling," like countless people talking in your ear, like countless musical instruments playing at the same time, like countless stones striking each other.

Although they couldn't hear them, everyone clearly "felt" these sounds in their minds.

The senses that had been taken away began to return little by little.

First came the sense of touch; Lin Xi felt her feet touching solid ground. Then came the sense of hearing; she heard her own heartbeat and the breathing of everyone else.

Finally, there's the visual aspect: the chaos before my eyes dissipates, revealing a bright space.

Supported by Ouyang Yu, Bai Yueming's body gradually became clear, his unfocused gaze regained focus, and he coughed suddenly, letting out a hoarse sound.

"Damn it, this place is no human being."

Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as if they had just escaped death.

Lin Xi looked at the silent door; it had disappeared, replaced by an ordinary wooden door.

The wooden door has no decorations, only a doorknob.

"Is this the exit?" Feng Xi's voice was filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

Guo Yuelang nodded, stood up, and reached out to grasp the doorknob.

Just then, the wooden door suddenly shook violently, and countless figures appeared on the door panel. Their eyes were filled with resentment as they pounded on the door, trying to rush out.

"They want to follow us out!" Ouyang Yu instantly became alert and gripped his dagger tightly.

But the dagger bounced off the door as soon as it touched it.

The props are still ineffective at the exit.

Lin Xi looked at the figure on the door panel and suddenly remembered something.

She picked up two pebbles from the ground and pounded on the door with the most discordant rhythm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A piercing crash rang out, and the figures on the door seemed greatly startled, retreating in shock and letting out silent screams.

“Dissonant sounds, they are afraid of discordant sounds!” Lin Xi said.

Everyone reacted immediately, picking up pebbles and twigs and banging on the door at a chaotic rhythm. Some knocked fast, some slow, some knocked on the left, some on the right; the sounds were disordered, yet carried a powerful force.

The figure on the door panel grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

The wooden door creaked open slowly.

Outside the door was a familiar cave, with sunlight streaming in from the opening above, bringing a warm glow.

The crowd filed out, and the moment the last person stepped out of the wooden door, the door slammed shut, transforming into a musical note and dissipating into the air.

After the "tick-tock" sound, a cold electronic voice sounded.

"Congratulations to all players for completing the game."

A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and Lin Xi returned to the wooden house where Ouyang Yu and the others were staying.

Looking up, I saw Tong Nian walking out of the bedroom.

"Amazing!" Tong Nian said with a smile. "I didn't expect that someone could actually clear this dungeon."

"Get out!" Bai Yueming's voice rang out. "I almost died in there!"

Lin Xi turned her head and looked at her sister and Xin Ye.

Everyone is fine, in good spirits, and doesn't seem tired.

As expected, the big shots on the game development team have special privileges; any damage done inside won't be carried over outside.

She didn't feel tired at all; as royalty, her hiking jacket was extremely useful.

"What are you afraid of? You won't really do anything!" Tong Nian said with a smile, turning to Ouyang Yu. "Ouyang, how are you feeling?"

"We haven't finished eating yet!" Ouyang didn't answer Tong Nian's question and walked towards the restroom. "Everyone, tidy up and finish your meal first."
