Chapter 192 Give Me a Knife
"I caught you." Ji Ran's mouth twitched slightly. She stood there, but half of her body was bent nearly ninety degrees.

Her face was upside down and she looked at Qin Yan, as if something was about to pop out of her eyes.

Tan Yan instinctively wanted to speak, but forced herself to hold it back.

She was hiding under the narrow bed at this moment, and she had no way to retreat.

Suddenly, Ji Ran reached out his hand to her.

The girl's fingertips were slender and seemed to have no strength, but the moment she grabbed Tan Yan, she felt a pain as if her bones were crushed.

Tan Yan gritted her teeth and was dragged out from underneath by Ji Ran.

When she was pulled out, Tan Yan was still holding the photo in her hand.

She put the photo in her pocket, then seized the opportunity and attacked Ji Ran fiercely.

For Tan Yan to gain a foothold in the research institute, of course she must have some copy experience and self-protection ability.

She threw the props and successfully saved herself from Ji Ran's hands.

However, she was soon discovered by the monsters hiding on the third floor. They crawled out from the walls and ceiling and quickly surrounded Qin Yan.

Ji Ran followed those monsters. She turned her eyes to look at Tan Yan who was surrounded by them, and suddenly her expression changed.

She saw the photo that Tan Yan threw out.

The family of three in the photo were looking at her with smiles.

Ji Ran walked over quickly, bent over to pick up the photo, and stroked her own face in the photo with her hand.

It's almost over, very soon.

Ji Ran told himself, stuffing the photo into his pocket.

……

Evening came quickly.

Lu Yao could not find any trace of her original body in the villa. She looked at the newly renovated banquet hall. Even without a housekeeper, Ji's mother had arranged the banquet very well.

Before the banquet began, Lu Yao went to the original body's room.

Father Ji was still curled up in the closet, and it seemed that no one had noticed his disappearance.

Or maybe no one cared whether he was there or not.

A few minutes later, people came in one after another. They were wearing formal attire and had smiles on their faces. They looked like guests who were really invited to the party.

"These people don't look right." Gu Yuezheng rubbed his arms.

Zheng Xiaoxiao nodded. "The clothes they wore seemed to be copied and pasted. The styles were almost identical. And the smiles on their faces looked so weird."

Lu Yao withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Even the number of people is wrong. Based on the situation on the second and third floors, it is impossible for so many people to be alive.

There are at least fifty people approaching the banquet hall now. According to Lu Yao's estimation, the number of survivors should not exceed ten.

Guests came in one after another and gathered under the stage.

They automatically formed a semicircle and looked up at the stage, each of them like a 'qualified' audience.

Lu Yao looked at the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Tan Yan was not among them.

She couldn't imagine that one of the leaders of the Abyss Research Institute died in such a somewhat absurd copy.

Besides, there are some things she still needs to find an opportunity to talk to Tan Yan about.

A few minutes later, before the banquet was about to begin, several more people appeared outside the door.

Their hair was disheveled and their bodies were covered in blood, and they looked like they had just experienced a life-and-death fight.

Leading the group was a young woman who walked in quickly, not even having time to treat the wound on her shoulder.

Lu Yao turned around and looked at the woman, and the woman nodded to Lu Yao.

"It seems that you are also 'survivors'." The woman came closer. Several people including Lu Yao were standing outside the 'audience' at this time.

"What happened to you?" Lu Yao looked at the woman. It was hard to imagine that such a small copy area would have such a degree of destruction.

Of the nearly 100 players in the team, only one-tenth remained by the third day, and there were no new players in the team.

Even Lu Yao had never encountered such a situation before. The woman pressed the wound on her shoulder that was still bleeding and gritted her teeth and said, "There are more monsters here than I imagined. It's like entering a monster breeding base."

As the woman spoke, her expression became more and more solemn. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

After all, no one would believe that so many terrible monsters would appear in an ordinary dungeon area.

It was as if the entire villa was built by monsters.

After the woman finished speaking, the faces of the people following her also changed.

One of the younger boys wiped the blood off his face and said, "We were ambushed by a monster on the third floor. We couldn't get rid of it like a bug."

If they hadn't acted together, he would have been dead by now.

After coming to their senses, several people looked at the group of people surrounding the stage, their faces becoming even uglier.

"They are..." The woman frowned.

Lu Yao pointed at the back of the neck of the one closest to him and said, "He must be controlled by the monster here."

Several people looked in the direction Lu Yao pointed, and saw that there was a cut on the back of the man's neck as if by a knife. The red wound was curled outward, and at first glance it looked like a mouth.

"What the hell, what is this?" Gu Yuezheng subconsciously took a step back. After realizing that he had overreacted, he covered his mouth and carefully moved behind Lu Yao.

"It must be a monster that is parasitic in their bodies." The woman's expression suddenly changed.

She turned her head to look at the wound on her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Give me a knife."

"Sister Yu, what do you want the knife for? Are you going to chop them now?" The boy who spoke before looked puzzled, but still took out a knife from the side and handed it over.

Sister Yu took the knife and turned the blade towards herself.

Lu Yao realized what she was going to do and did not stop her.

The next second, Sister Yu raised her knife and slashed it straight towards her shoulder.

Sister Yu cut off the places that were scratched by the monster with a knife. She gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

But the others behind him were all shocked when they saw this.

"Sister Yu, what are you doing?" The boy looked terrified and wanted to go forward but was stopped by his companions.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried that the wound will get infected and become like theirs." Sister Yu said as she was about to search her pocket for medicine.

They didn't take much, just some gauze bandages.

"Well, I have some medicine on me." Zheng Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up and took out the medicine from her pocket.

"Thank you." Sister Yu thanked him. In her current situation, she couldn't be polite to others. The most important thing was to save her life.

Seeing Sister Yu do this, the others immediately checked their own wounds.

Fortunately, the others were not seriously injured, and after a simple cleanup, it seemed that nothing was wrong.

"Should we worry about what to do if these people suddenly turn into monsters?" Gu Yuezheng suddenly lowered his voice and said.

They didn't find the youngest daughter of the Ji family, and it seemed that Sister Yu and the others didn't find her either.

After tonight, if they fail to complete the dungeon mission, their situation will only get worse.

Gu Yuezheng's words immediately made the atmosphere tense again.

At the same time, footsteps were suddenly heard on the stage.

Ji's mother appeared on the stage with Ji Ran.

Lu Yao knew that a new scene of the "stage play" was about to begin.

Ji's mother seemed very eager to show the warmth and harmony of the Ji family in front of others.

But the real Ji family has nothing to do with the word warm.

Mother Ji's eyes swept across the 'audience' below. She seemed a little dissatisfied with the number of people and could not help but frowned.

"Welcome everyone to tonight's banquet." Ji's mother suddenly spoke and walked to the center of the stage.

"I said I would announce something tonight. I think you are all looking forward to it." Ji's mother continued, and the moment she finished speaking, she heard warm applause from below.

The players who were controlled by the monsters all clapped their hands. They still had smiles on their faces and clapped their hands hard. Some even clapped their hands too hard and they broke and fell to the ground.
