Chapter 23: A Flash of Golden Light

——Isn’t this dungeon called a novice dungeon for the first time? How come you could get gifts before?
——This copy is the third copy after the advent of the strange world. Almost all the chosen ones who entered at that time died. Most of the chosen ones who entered were considered novice worlds, right?
——I remember that there are no damaging items among the items that can be plucked...

——If you can’t get the knife, wait for the resurrection pill.

Daxia official on the 10th: Dear comrades, please rest assured that we are always paying attention to each of the chosen ones. Once something happens, we will immediately send a life-saving gift. Please stay calm.
——Isn't No. 10 an orphan? Where did her mother come from? I remember her fiancé had previously revealed that she had mental problems and killed her parents and brother...

——There is no evidence that No. 10 did it, right? Her parents and brother are nowhere to be found, and she has mental problems and can't get away with it. Don't you think this is like framing someone?

——Uncle Hat said that except for her, no one else could be the murderer. No. 10’s parents could let her marry a lame old man when she was underage, so they must not be good people.
——So this “mother” is calling out to the motherland…

——@大夏官方, it’s so funny, I would also shout, mom, give me a rocket

Unnatural Bureau
The observer watched this scene and paced back and forth in front of the screen anxiously.

Yu Xuande said irritably, "Don't leave. I'm already getting annoyed by your leaving."

Chen Li, the observer in charge of No. 10, was sweating profusely due to anxiety.

"Deputy Director, she's obviously calling us, but there's no knife in the props. How about we get a few resurrection pills in there to reassure her?"

Yu Xuande was suddenly amused.

"Xiao Chen, you know what, after No. 10 shouted that, I realized that you really act like a mother. You've even started to worry about No. 10."

Chen Li: “…”

She didn't know how the word "Mom" made her feel so overwhelmed with maternal love.

Yu Xuande's words brought her back to the time when Lan Tong teased her 99 times about brushing cleaning pills.

The anger and anxiety in my heart were suddenly miraculously soothed.

……

The live broadcast room of the Chosen One of Sakura Country No. 2

Although Ayuto Sagawa did not enter the vegetable market, his situation was not much better.

The weirdness in the vegetable market did not appear, but the weirdness in the two rows of shops in front of the market did appear.

There are only ten of them, which seems much less than the weird ones in the alley over in Lantong.

They also trapped Ayuto Sagawa under the tree.

Ayuto Sagawa was already numb and didn't even bother to resist.

He stretched out his arms, raised his indifferent and world-weary face, and said, "If you want to eat me, please use your mouth, quickly."

But he didn't seem to be very interested in these strange things.

They surrounded him, but were in no hurry to take action.

One of them spoke strangely.

"Kid, ask your family to bring in some fresh human legs."

Sagawa Ayuto paused and showed a look of disgust.

"Why? Are you afraid that I won't have enough to eat? You can rest assured that my country will not let me die. Line up and I will let each of you eat once, but you have to eat quickly."

Several weirdos let out sharp laughs.

"Your meat is not fresh. We want to eat fresh meat."

"That's right! Hurry up and ask your family to send us in, or we will make sure you live a life worse than death!"

Sagawa Ayuto explained: "My meat is fresh. I just came back to life not long ago."

"You died hundreds of times here, but the body you used was not your original body." A strange man laughed and said, "But your family members use fresh human flesh to brush props. We want to eat fresh ones. Let your family brush them for you!"

Sagawa Ayuto was about to say something, but a few weirdos suddenly came forward and tore off his arm in an extremely cruel way. Sagawa Ayuto screamed, and he knelt on the ground trembling, blood gushing out of the broken arm, and his facial features twisted together in pain.

These weirdos did not kill him, but tortured him inhumanely.

……

After Lan Tong shouted, he waited for a few seconds and found that no props fell off like the cleaning pill did last time.

It seems that asking my mother for help is not going to work.

It is better to ask yourself than to ask your mother.

Ask for help... Lan Tong doesn't know how to ask for help now.

The weirdness around them was only a few steps away. Lan Tong's shout just now made them relax their vigilance a lot, and their movements slowed down for a moment.

Most of them were no longer in a hurry to approach and catch her. Instead, they gathered around her as if they were watching a joke, waiting to see how Lan Tong would collapse and beg for mercy after her requests for help were in vain.

Only the butcher kept sharpening his knife and approaching.

The sharp and cold sound of sharpening the knife seemed to pierce the eardrum.

There was no other way out at the moment. With the ridicule and sarcasm surrounding him, Lan Tong felt as if he was stuck at the exit before he even started.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes became fiercer, and she reached out to grab the tree again.

This time she poked the bark hard with her fingers. Since she didn't have a sharp weapon, she used her nails as one.

The original owner was very thin and light, so she could climb up with just a little bit of friction.

Lan Tong thought so as he gripped the bark tightly with his nails. He tried again and again, but failed every time. Some of his nails even broke in the process, and blood flowed down his slender white fingers.

Looking at the wound and bright red blood on her hand, her mysophobia made her even more irritated.

Lan Tong couldn't care about so many things now. In this critical moment, he could only hold on to the tree tightly, and tried to climb up with his half-broken nails and palms at the same time.

Repeated failures made her tenacity stronger. Countless methods emerged in her mind, but from a practical perspective, she still thought that a tool was the simplest.

It would be nice to have a knife.

If only... I had a knife...

Suddenly, several golden lights appeared on her face.

As if they were the stitching lines of future technology, they emerged from her ears, becoming brighter and brighter as she moved harder, gradually spreading to her cheeks.

There was more and more blood on his hands, and the tree trunk that he frequently grabbed was already stained with blood and his original color could no longer be seen.

The golden lines on his face became brighter and brighter, and his eyes, as light as glass, gradually shone like golden amber bathed in the sun.

The butcher behind him didn't notice anything because he had his back to Lan Tong, but the weirdos on both sides suddenly showed panic.

The one who reacted quickly screamed: "Butcher! Kill her!"

The butcher was stunned for a moment by this shout.

Lan Tong failed again, and she even dug a long strip of the tree trunk into the flesh of her fingertips, causing her entire arm to go numb and tremble in pain.

But she did not give up. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain and reached out again.

At this moment, her brows were tightly furrowed as if they were locked, and her lips were so painful that they turned pale.

But this time, before she touched the tree trunk, she suddenly felt something extra in her hand.

They are two identical sharp daggers.
