Game Invasion: A new term for each level

Chapter 114 Upgrade, Someone in the Shadows

Yang Hui opened a door leading down the stairwell. It was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Huang Ying gripped his arm, her legs trembling, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Um—do we really have to go down?"

"My guess is right below. If you're really scared, you don't have to go," Yang Hui advised.

Hearing this, Huang Ying shook her head vigorously: "No, no! I just think you're too scared, I have to protect you."

This was the first time Yang Hui had ever heard of a client protection bodyguard.

Snapped!

Yang Hui activated the [High-Powered Flashlight] in his hand, and a beam of light instantly appeared, dispelling the darkness inside.

The hallway was painted white, with only one staircase leading down to the bottom.

Seeing the light source calmed Huang Ying down a bit. Turning her head, she saw a commemorative ticket stuck in the doorknob.

She happily pulled it out and exclaimed, "There are some here too! I'll definitely get more commemorative tickets than my brother!"

Yang Hui, holding a flashlight, said, "Let's go then. I'm scared without you."

Putting everything else aside, it provides a lot of emotional value.

The two descended the stairs one floor at a time, their footsteps echoing in the stairwell.

After going down a few floors, I saw a half-open metal door.

Without hesitation, Yang Hui suddenly pulled the door open! The flashlight beam shone inside, revealing a spacious room without windows. A sweep of the beam revealed many sheet metal power supply boxes.

Huang Ying followed Yang Hui inside, glancing at each power supply box as they passed.

Until Yang Hui suddenly stopped.

Huang Ying asked, "What's wrong?"

She looked in the direction of the flashlight beam and saw the largest main power supply box, with several diagonal chisel marks carved into it.

This exposes the internal circuitry, and occasionally sparks fly out.

Huang Ying gasped, "This—who did this?!"

Yang Hui didn't answer. He took the flashlight and searched the ground around him until he found a fire axe. He muttered, "Looks like someone has sneaked in."

"Then—what do we do?" Huang Ying panicked immediately.

Yang Hui raised his wristwatch and said, "Let's go to the plaster sculpture area to find Huang Cen first, and then the three of us will meet up and act together."

"Okay, okay! I'll listen to you."

Huang Ying nodded in agreement. She had almost no plans for the future, and only now did she realize how important it was to have a bodyguard to protect her.

Click!

The sound of the metal door closing was so abrupt in the otherwise silent surroundings.

Huang Ying suddenly turned her head and looked at the dark place behind her, saying, "Who? Who's there?"

She had that feeling again that someone had been watching her in the hallway.

Snapped!

Huang Ying blew a bubble, and her eyes instantly became clear in black and white. She glanced around very quickly, but there was nothing that emitted any colored light.

This is a usage she developed by chance. As long as people have emotions, and as long as emotions have colors, people's emotions can be as bright as a lighthouse in the darkness.

Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've looked around, there shouldn't be anyone here."

"Nobody here? Then who is this?"

Huang Ying turned her head in confusion and saw a strange humanoid creature with disproportionate limbs standing quietly there, less than ten meters away.

"ah!!!!"

A scream shattered the silence.

Huang Ying was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her body.

His legs went weak, and he couldn't walk anymore while holding Yang Hui.

Yang glanced at it and said, "Madam, this is a separate price."

"Here's the money! Would it kill you to let me lean on you for a little while?"

Yang Hui moved the flashlight beam onto the other person.

It started to twitch and was emitting wisps of white smoke.

It made meaningless sobbing sounds, yet it still walked towards the two of them step by step, like a puppet.

He knew someone was lurking in the shadows, and an idea popped into his head.

He then took out two-thirds of the exorcism salt and said, "Would you like to participate in the bodyguard agency's winter event yourself?"

Huang Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and her makeup was a little smudged: "There... there are events like this? Are bodyguards all this greedy these days?"

Yang Hui, carrying a small sheepskin bag, said, "Yes, we will do our best to ensure that our clients have a good time completing the game in an absolutely safe environment."

"That's quite thoughtful." Huang Ying took the sheepskin bag with both hands; it was a little heavy.

She opened it and saw white salt crystals inside. The instructions for use immediately appeared before her eyes, and she instantly understood how to use it.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of things immediately if anything happens. Just treat it like a little game at the night market."

Huang Ying's lips twitched twice. Sometimes she couldn't tell who had more personality.

Despite her smoky makeup and tongue piercing, she's actually quite traditional at heart.

Yang Hui actually treated this situation like a game?

Is this? Is this wobbly monster really that small?

Huang Ying silently blew a bubble, and when it burst, his body was indeed covered in a faint gold color.

She pinched some salt grains between two fingers and turned to sprinkle them over.

Oh!

A reaction occurred the instant they came into contact, like baking soda meeting water, producing fine bubbles.

Seeing that it was effective, Huang Ying scooped up a large lump of salt in her palm and threw it over with all her might.

Yang Hui could hear the continuous wails even from the side; it seemed that even the supernatural could feel pain, fear, and dread.

Logically, it should have made some kind of behavioral response.

Unless it's someone at a very high level, someone who's extremely powerful.

But this thing doesn't look like it either.

It simply keeps closing the distance without making a move.

Huang Ying started to let loose, responding to every grain of salt sprinkled on it, like smashing a bottle, which was particularly stress-relieving.

Its arms were long and its back was bent. When the flashlight shone on it, its whole body was steaming. Every grain of salt that Huang Ying sprinkled on it felt like it was being burned.

But it still approached step by step, which didn't seem to be something it wanted to do; its wailing was full of rejection.

The powerful flashlight flickered twice and then went out.

Huang Ying's carefree body tensed instantly, and she turned to look at Yang Hui, asking, "Why is there no light?"

Yang Hui took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. Although it wasn't as powerful as a flashlight, he could still see faintly.

He had just raised his phone when his pupils contracted.

The strange creature, which had been hunched over, suddenly opened its mouth wide, centered on itself! It looked like an unfolded piece of parchment, or a huge mouth about to engulf Huang Ying.

It swept in quickly, as if all the previous show of weakness was for this moment.

Huang Ying only felt a flash of golden light before her eyes, a gust of wind swept past her side, and then someone pressed the back of her head, and she fell into a hug that made her feel incredibly safe. It only lasted for a short moment, and Huang Ying didn't even have time to savor it before it was over.

Yang Hui's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He lowered his center of gravity slightly, his right leg like a taut bowstring. At the same time, he exerted force from his waist and hips, his movements flowing smoothly and creating a gust of wind that tore apart most of its body.

It instantly lost its cohesion and then completely collapsed.

The silver threads instantly retracted and disappeared into the darkness.

[You have killed the Silent Watcher and gained 1400 experience points.]

Yang Hui's experience points increased significantly, just enough to fill up, and a light screen appeared in front of him.

Congratulations on reaching level 16!
