Life Dungeon Game

"Give me more time, and perhaps you will be the one wearing shackles."

Wu Lan looked at West in front of her with a calm gaze.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out,"

West glanced at Wu Lan, then turned to look at the hazy city outside the window. "So I didn't give you any time, did I?"

"So you captured Xia Ye just to lure the C-level researchers from the research institute here?"

Wu Lan stared at him and asked in a low voice.

"Actually, my original plan wasn't to rush things, but your diplomat lady acted too quickly and touched something she shouldn't have,"

Flames ignited in the city outside the window, their massive reflections shimmering in West's eyes. "The research institute branch can provide us with just enough extraordinary offerings, and your arrival elevates the quality of our offerings even further. Of course, this plan was indeed rushed and cannot withstand close scrutiny, but..."

He turned back to look at Wu Lan, "As long as we're fast enough, nothing will be a problem, right?"

He turned around completely, looking at the pile of firewood behind him. A faint, flowing red glow flowed through the patterns beneath his feet, converging at the center of the pile of firewood.

"Madam, the consultation time is over. Trust me, the whole process is quick and painless. It's quite pleasant to blend into the chaos."

The guards set up controlled 'hostages' one by one, arranging them along the central piece of firewood in a semi-circle with an opening facing West.

These people appeared to have been starving for a long time, most of them were injured and shackled, and had almost no ability to resist.

Xia Ye and the staff from the research institute's branch were also brought over and placed near the outer edge.

A clock hung directly above the main hall, its second hand ticking away.

Wu Lan bit her bloodied lower lip, glanced at West watching her from the side, and then without hesitation, charged towards West.

This sudden attack seemed to have caught West and the gaunt man beside him off guard. West lost his balance for a moment, and then, pulled along by Wu Lan, crashed into the huge glass...

On the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

boom--

With a crisp sound, the heavy floor-to-ceiling window shattered.

The flying shards of glass scattered like water droplets, and the wind high above almost blew through West's hair.

But in the end, West stopped at the edge of the floor and was not knocked off the building by the sudden attack.

"Miss,"

Feeling the wind blowing against his back, West stared at Wu Lan, who was ramming into him with all her might, and reached out to grab her by the neck.

He suddenly exerted force with his arm, like tossing a doll, and threw the woman in his hand, sending her crashing into the pile of firewood.

"Ahem..."

Wu Lan struggled to lift her upper body from the firewood, coughing up a few drops of blood.

Her ponytail had long since fallen loose, and her long, loose hair draped over her shoulders and chest, with a few strands obscuring half of her fair cheek.

"If this is your last resort, then I'm afraid it's a bit of a shame."

West calmly watched Wu Lan, then walked step by step towards Wu Lan in the woodpile. The gaunt man beside him drew a thin sword and respectfully handed it to West.

"If you want to buy time for someone to come and rescue you."

West raised the rapier in his hand. The clock hanging in mid-air struck twelve. A thin, slightly mocking smile appeared on the man's face.

"I'm sorry, apart from everyone here, no one knows we're here, and no one will know I'm here either, including your research institute's B-level personnel and that 'Hao Yi'. By the time they find out, it will all be over."

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd, trying to stop West.

Without hesitation, the gaunt man standing next to West kicked the figure away.

"leaf!"

Wu Lan looked at the figure that had been kicked away and shouted in a panic.

Xia Ye, who had been kicked away, crashed into the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"A touching friendship, what a pity, beautiful lady,"

West's rapier flashed through the air as he looked at Wu Lan with a slightly arrogant and mocking smile. "The game is over."

A sudden burst of raging flames erupted from the very center of the firewood, instantly engulfing the entire pile. A dazzling red glow flowed through the patterns that filled the hall, illuminating the entire space.

Beyond endless space and time, it seemed as if a vast and boundless being was opening its eyes and looking at this place.

The chilling atmosphere made everyone tremble.

"The Great God of Chaos!"

West excitedly raised his hands, looking up as if he were looking at the ceiling above him, or as if he were looking at a great being beyond endless space and time.

He shouted almost hoarsely, "I have realized that the ordered universe is a miracle, while utter chaos..."

boom-

The roar of the train interrupted all conversation. The man standing in the middle of the hall, laughing wildly and holding a rapier, was rammed by the huge engine and sent flying through the broken French windows.

The woman lying in the raging fire only saw that the wide vehicle suddenly blocked her view.

She watched the wheels that had traveled through the void pass through the flames and let out a long sigh of relief.

She struggled to get up from the firewood, but after several attempts, she lay back down.

The flames from the burning firewood weren't scalding hot, but they carried a twisted and chaotic aura that constantly invaded her body, making her weaker and weaker.

Just then, a large hand passed through the flames and stopped in front of her.

She stared at the hand, at the figure reaching out with that hand, smiled, and with difficulty raised her hand to grasp it.

Immediately afterwards, she felt a tremendous force coming from that arm, pulling her directly out of the fire and into the spacious carriage.

"Ahem—"

She sat on the floor, leaning against the carriage wall, looking at the young man standing at the door. For a moment, she was in a daze. She opened her mouth and joked, "I thought you weren't coming."

"The space around here is a bit strange; it took me a while to figure it out."

He Ao shrugged.

He knew that Wu Lan didn't really care about this; when she agreed to the plan, she had entrusted her life to him.

She believed that 'Hao Yi' would definitely come.

At the same time, He Ao took a can of food out of his pocket and handed it to Wu Lan.

"You also went to the Western Lands?"

Wu Lan stared at the can of food for a moment, then took it. "Thank you."

This canned food was Yang De's 'nutritional canned food' for He Ao, which can quickly heal injuries. It has been on He Ao's body ever since the return from the Navigator.

It's not particularly surprising that 'Hao Yi' was able to get something from He Ao, especially since the two had fought side by side when they went to the Navigator.

So He Ao went straight back to the West and brought back this canned nutritional supplement.

At the same time, the Shadowless Sword appeared in He Ao's hand. He raised his hand and slashed, breaking the shackles in Wu Lan's hands.

"correct,"

At this moment, Wu Lan suddenly realized that it was a bit quiet. She looked at He Ao and asked, "Did you just knock something away?"

boom-

A giant hand reached up from the edge of the broken French window.

I wasn't feeling well, and with Calvin also on the case, it took longer than usual.

It seems unlikely that an update will be released at noon.

So, I'll make an adjustment. Starting tomorrow, I'll update every day at 19:00 PM. There shouldn't be any errors (I'm sure).

Chapter 722 Be a Little Stronger (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Click—

With the sound of the solid concrete floor cracking, a small, red-faced giant, over three meters tall, smashed through a large section of glass, and landed back on the ground amidst flying glass shards.

"Hao Yi?!"

He stared at the train, half in reality and half hidden in the void, his brows furrowed deeply.

"You saved people."

He Ao looked at Wu Lan, said something quickly, and then jumped out of the carriage.

"it is good!"

Wu Lan threw away the shackles on her hands.

The Verola restarted and entered the void again. Then, from the other side of the hall, Wu Lan reached out and pulled Xia Ye, who had just been injured, into the car.

Then the Verola continued forward, smashing through the guards blocking its way and reaching the controlled 'sacrifices'.

Throughout the entire process, West, who had climbed back up, made no move. He stared coldly at Heo, as if trying to discern something from him. He still held the thin thread in his hand, a faint red glow pulsating within him.

"Have you been in Newland City-State the whole time?"

He looked at He Ao, his voice hoarse, "You've been investigating here for a long time?"

"Didn't we meet before I arrived?"

He looked calmly at West and shrugged.

"how is this possible?"

West's bloodshot eyes widened slightly. "Are you saying you figured out my plan in just one day? Are you kidding me?"

"I don't think it's that difficult."

He Ao looked at him, gripped the Shadowless Sword, and said calmly, "To be precise, it only took half a day to 'see through' it."

In fact, the entire investigation process was not complicated, because Xia Ye had already conducted a preliminary investigation. She left behind the investigation report on the disappearance case, pointing out that the disappearance case of the research institute branch might be related to the large-scale disappearance case in Newland City.

In addition, Xia Ye may have guessed through some clues that these disappearances might be related to the mirror, so when the problem arose, her emergency arrangements in the office prevented them from 'disappearing' directly.

This gave her time to leave traces of resistance.
