This can be considered a trump card.
Fan Xiao suppressed his anxiety about the lack of firepower and decided to rely on his four teammates first.
"High mental strength..." Nori asked curiously, "What animal's genes would cause this effect?"
"whale."
Fan Xiao casually made up a creature, then changed the subject, reminding his four teammates, "Besides the items being unusable, the name tags we collected have also disappeared."
"Name badge..."
Gao Wen quickly checked his body and found that all the name tags he had been wearing were indeed gone.
Previously, his attention was focused on guarding against the head maid and the head guard, so he overlooked this point.
He asked in confusion, "Does the name tag return to its original position during the day?"
"probably."
Fan Xiao said, "The original name tags were placed in each glass room of the laboratory, which was normal, but not normal."
"This dungeon couldn't have only been opened once, right? If it's opened frequently, then other players must have found the badges."
"These players wouldn't be so bored after clearing the dungeon that they would bother to put their name tags back in their original positions. There's only one possibility—the dungeon will automatically collect the name tags and reset their positions."
"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the name tags will be collected and reset every day. And..."
He pointed to a building not far away and reminded them, "Did you notice? The previous hole has been plugged up, and the building's walls look brand new."
"Uh...it's really blocked!" Gao Wen exclaimed in surprise.
"strangeness……"
Norrie also looked surprised.
Only the head maid and the head guard seemed puzzled.
Seeing this, Nori explained to her two guards, "When we were in the laboratory before, we smashed that wall and made a big hole so that we could better observe the sky outside."
"wall……"
Looking at the intact building, the head maid guessed, "Could we have been moved to another location? Some dungeons have multiple spaces; this phenomenon is not uncommon, and players often encounter it."
"We entered another dimension as soon as it was light?"
“It’s unclear at the moment,” Fan Xiao said. “Let’s see how things go first.”
Just then, a noise came from afar.
Following the sound, Fan Xiao and his group of five saw a man and a woman rushing out from the main entrance on the first floor of the third building.
The woman was the same female player with the high ponytail from before, and the man was the muscular guy who joined the high ponytail team at the end.
At this moment, both of them looked rather disheveled, with many injuries on their bodies and blood dripping from their wounds.
Behind them, several tall, slender figures in white work uniforms chased after them from inside the building.
Those figures had human-like physiques, but seemed to be elongated at both ends, making their overall bodies appear very slender.
Its face was unusually frightening, with blood-red eyes, no nose, only two holes protruding from the outside, and the corners of its mouth split open to the roots of its ears, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and a long scarlet tongue, as if it were about to devour people.
His head was completely bald, with no hair at all, and his skin was grayish-white and uneven, like a tumor.
It's a monster that can definitely be called a humanoid!
These monsters, wielding various dissecting knives and waving their long arms, chased after the man with the high ponytail and the muscular man.
They are very fast, on par with D-level players.
The moment they saw them, Fan Xiao and the other three felt an overwhelming fear, instinctively feeling terrified and their bodies stiffening.
Because of his strong mental fortitude, Fan Xiao was the first to recover and reminded his teammates, "These monsters have an aura of fear, don't keep staring at them!"
He had barely finished speaking when... *pfft*
A cutting sound rang out.
The monster in the lead brandished its scalpel, slicing through the air with a sharp sound.
Its arm seemed to have extended, allowing the knife to strike the muscular man running at the back in one swift motion.
Like slicing through tofu, a chunk of flesh was instantly sliced off the muscular man's back, and sprayed blood into the air.
The muscular man cried out in pain and immediately used all his strength to run forward as fast as he could.
Upon seeing Fan Xiao and his group of five, he and Gao Mawei's eyes lit up, and they immediately turned and ran over.
"These monsters are incredibly strong; a player alone is no match for them!"
"Quick! Let's deal with them together!"
As they approached, the man with the high ponytail and the muscular man shouted.
Upon hearing this shout, Gawain frowned immediately: "These two guys are attracting monsters! Should we hide or go to meet them?"
"They must have escaped from another lab. We need to know what they saw. Let's just leave it at that."
As Fan Xiao replied, he took out a prop short sword from his storage space.
Although items cannot be used during the day, the items themselves will not disappear; they just cannot activate their special effects.
The short sword in his hand was one of the items he inherited from other players.
Because it was extremely sharp and much stronger than steel or alloys, he kept it and did not sell it to the Special Affairs Bureau.
He had considered the possibility of dungeons where items could not be used, so he was naturally prepared.
"and."
Fan Xiao continued, "These monsters must be the danger we faced during the day. We need to test their strength so we can take appropriate countermeasures."
Chapter 207 The Rules of the Research Institute
Upon hearing Fan Xiao's words, Nori and the other three became alert.
High ponytails and muscular men are getting closer and closer to them.
The monsters behind the two were getting closer and closer.
The closer they were, the greater their sense of fear became.
This made everyone, including Fan Xiao, frown.
Fear exacerbated the stiffness in my body.
No wonder the tall ponytail and muscular man in the distance looked like they couldn't outrun those monsters.
It turns out that monsters can also inflict this kind of negative buff on players.
Nori quickly said to Van Chau, "Count, stand behind me."
Fan Xiao: "..."
Looking at Nori, who was a head shorter than him, he felt like their positions had been reversed.
Nori pulled up the eyepatch over her left eye, revealing her golden eye.
After leaving the laboratory, she stopped the "everyone loves" trait. After a period of cooling down, the "Destruction Eye" can now be used normally.
The next second, a faint light emanated from the golden eyes.
The humanoid monster leading the chase suddenly developed cracks on its body.
One of its arms and one of its legs quickly shattered into pieces, and its entire body lost its balance, falling to the ground with tremendous force from the forward momentum.
But the monster did not make any wailing or other sounds.
It crawled forward using its remaining arm and leg, displaying utter ferocity.
Nori's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
She used her powerful magic eye, intending to shatter the monster completely in one blow.
However, the results were far less effective.
This is not normal!
At the same time, Gawain, who also possessed the talent for ranged attacks, also made his move.
With a wave of his hand, a cold weapon appeared out of thin air and shot towards the monster crawling on the ground like a cannonball.
With a series of loud bangs, the monster was repeatedly struck by the sword blades, its skin quickly ruptured, and numerous penetrating wounds appeared on its body.
Taking advantage of the moment, Nori activated her Mystic Eyes again and looked at the monster that was being constantly whipped.
The teeth-grinding cracking sound returned.
With the combined attack of the demonic eye and the sword, the half-crippled monster was finally shattered into pieces and lay motionless under the relentless onslaught of the double impact.
Bright red blood exploded and splattered all over the ground.
There are three monsters left, and they have already charged forward.
The girl with the high ponytail and the muscular man approached Fan Xiao and his group of five.
The seven of them began to retreat together, creating distance between themselves and the monster.
During the retreat, both Nori and Gawain looked rather grim.
"careful!"
As Gawain retreated, he solemnly reminded them, "It seems that my attacks are less effective when they hit these guys!"
"Talented attacks will be weakened!" the muscular man warned. "Melee combat is much more effective, but they are much stronger than us, and close-quarters fighting is extremely dangerous!"
"Maid," Nori called out.
The head maid nodded, activated her talent, and six protective barriers shot out.
The captain of the guard also activated his talent at the same time.
A point of light appeared in his hand, and he threw it out with a wave of his arm.
The light spot expanded continuously in the wind, penetrating the protective barrier and reaching the heads of the three pursuing monsters.
The head maid's defense seemed to be a one-way barrier, preventing external attacks from entering but not from leaking out from within—Fan Xiao noticed this detail.
He obediently covered his eyes.
The next second, a blinding light descended, robbing everyone of their sight.
The orb of light, which also possessed the power to dispel negative status effects and burn, began to unleash a fierce attack on the three monsters.
The monsters crashed into the head maid's protective barrier with a loud bang.
The protective barrier began to shake, causing the head maid's expression to change. She quickly exclaimed, "If they touch you, the performance of your talents will become unstable!"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guard increased the output of his talent.
The dazzling light continued to scorch the three monsters.
The monsters' bodies had turned charred black, but they seemed oblivious to pain, continuing to ram into the protective barrier, causing it to shake even more violently.
Sensing that the talent was becoming increasingly unstable, the head maid quickly reminded him, "Disperse the bright light and let His Highness attack!"
The head guard did not refute, and immediately withdrew his talent.
Everyone opened their eyes and quickly adjusted to the change in light.
Nori activated her Mystic Eyes on the three monsters one after another.
Gawain then fired a large number of newly manufactured weapons at them.
The two maintained their maximum output and continued attacking until, more than half a minute later, they finally defeated and killed the three burned monsters.
Seeing this, the head maid put away the screen.
Nori and Gawain both took out mental recovery potions from their storage space and drank them.
Using talents is very mentally taxing, and after maintaining such high-intensity output for so long, they were already feeling exhausted.
"Too hard to kill!" Nori couldn't help but say.
The head maid chimed in, "They are indeed difficult to deal with. If there were more of them, my defenses would definitely be breached. They seem to be a strong counter to our talents?"
"These monsters are likely researchers; you can tell from their clothing."
