Unspeakable bubbles

"Are you kidding me? If I step on their heads, they'll definitely eat me!"

"No, no, they're all asleep now. They won't notice if you step on their heads."

The witch said very seriously, "You believed me before, why don't you believe me one last time?"

"this......"

After a moment's hesitation, Beta asked, "Could you demonstrate for us?"

"demonstration?"

"Yes, that means you walk across the swamp crocodile's head and then walk back, that way we'll feel more at ease."

"Bro"

The witch held up two fingers: "I only took two silver coins from you, how can you bear to make me do such a risky thing?"

"High risk? This is indeed a high-risk matter!"

“I’m old, so this is a high-risk thing for me, but it’s not so dangerous for you and this young lady.”

"If you want to get out, you'll have to do as I say. Think it over carefully, buddy."

Section 703, Chapter 702: Erosion

"I'll give you two more silver coins, please take us back."

After much deliberation, Beta still felt that crossing the crocodile's head by stepping on its head was too risky.

"The finish line is right in front of you, are you going to give up, buddy?"

"Let's not rush things. Let's make thorough preparations before taking on this final challenge!"

"Brother, I'm sorry, but I never go back on my word."

The witch shrugged: "Two silver coins to get me to take you back? No way!"

"..."

Beta was silent for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Don't tell me I really made the wrong choice in the first place."

"What are you thinking, buddy? Choosing that guy will have the same result; you'll just have to spend three more silver coins."

Okay, so it turns out both witches were traps.

Beta stared at the old witch, a dangerous glint slowly creeping into his eyes.

By the way, can NPCs in games be threatened?

"Hey buddy, there's something wrong with your eyes."

The witch calmly said, "Where did you get the courage to draw your sword against an elder witch?"

Witch Elder?

It seems she's much more powerful than him, a formal knight.

"If you're so capable, why do you need to resort to underhanded tactics?"

"This is fun, you wouldn't understand, buddy."

"Beta!"

The little girl, who was squatting by the swamp, waved to the knight: "It's ready, come over here."

Beta cautiously stepped back to the little girl's side and asked in a low voice, "What's alright?"

"Bubble just convinced Mr. Crocodile that he's willing to take us to the other side."

"......ah?"

"Come on up!"

A huge swamp crocodile floated to the surface, and the little girl stood on its back without hesitation.

"See, it's fine."

Beta was both surprised and delighted; this Bubble Princess was simply a god-like teammate!

"Here you come, here you come! Hahaha, you evil witch, I'll expose you once I get outside!"

"..."

The witch frowned and raised her hand, but after glancing at the little girl with the words "Do Not Attack" floating above her head, she finally held back.

'You wretched knight, you're lucky.'

.................................................. ...................

Jenny dragged her tired body home. She habitually went to her husband's bedroom and listened for a while.

"Snoring"

Jenny shook her head helplessly at the incessant snoring; no matter how fast she rushed, she was still late today.

My husband has a bad habit: he snores loudly when he sleeps.

Normally, he would wait until he fell asleep before going to sleep.

'You can't blame Jenny, it's already 2 a.m. after all.'

"..."

"If Cotton holds a meeting this late again, I will unite all my fellow women to protest against him!"

Jenny muttered a complaint, "Even the Grand Consul shouldn't take up everyone's off-get off work hours."

After standing in front of the door for a while, Jenny inexplicably lost her sleepiness.

The female governor sighed and resignedly walked into her study.

Jenny turned on her computer and began preparing her speech for tomorrow with great concentration.

She's not even seventy or eighty years old yet, so staying up all night is nothing to her!

In the quiet room, the sound of keyboard clicks could be heard from time to time.

"Beep"

Without any warning, the computer screen suddenly went black.

"Damn it, how is that possible?"

Jenny slammed her fist on the keyboard in frustration: "Butler, come here right now!"

"..."

The mechanical butler, which should have been readily available, did not respond at all this time.

A vague sense of crisis rose in her heart, and she quickly looked at the surveillance camera in the room.

The power indicator light is dim; the monitoring system is not working!

'Someone is trying to assassinate me!' That was Jenny's first reaction.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to warn his sleeping husband, a pool of liquid metal, which had just been perfectly disguised, fell from the sky.

The liquid metal enveloped Jenny's entire face, and amidst the female governor's sobs, it seeped into her mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

Invasion, capture

Information, receiving

10%, 15%, 20%...

Jenny was convulsing, her body melting away bit by bit.

Half an hour later, only a pool of liquid metal remained on the ground.

Start synchronously.

Memory input,

Form construction,

Finished.

Governor Jenny slowly got up from the floor, sat down in front of the computer that had been turned on again, and began to finish her speech.

"Finish in an hour, then lie on the sofa for a while."

"I need the housekeeper to wake me up at 5:30 so I can prepare breakfast for my darling."

................................................................

Inside the floating fortress, Bridge smiled and asked the purple-haired girl on the screen, "Athena, how is the 'Erosion Project' going?"

"Seventeen governors have been taken down. With more experience, the next erosion time can be shortened to twelve minutes, and more targets have been added to the list."

"Great!"

Bridget exclaimed excitedly, "At this rate, it'll be that bastard Cotton's turn in a few months, right?"

"After our lord entered the game, the number of awakened comrades increased rapidly, which greatly accelerated the progress of the plan."

"only......"

Athena shook her head and said, "The Peters family has never been on my list of those to be corrupted."

"Why!"

“Old Peters is extraordinary. If he hadn’t been completely absorbed in his laboratory these past few years and hadn’t cared about the Union at all, I would never have embarked on such a risky plan.”

"Ha, you're afraid of old Peters too!?"

"Calm down, my ally. You're being too fixated on the Peters family because of your grandfather's situation."

"My life goal is to vindicate my maternal grandfather! At the very least, I want to personally destroy that family!"

Give me some time.

Athena calmly said, "I'm investigating old Peters' background."
