Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"Survive? What kind of main quest is that?"

Wang Qi, who asked this question, looked around, truly not seeing anything that might put them in a dangerous environment.

"Something's not right!"

Less than three seconds after Wang Qi asked his question, Yan Yichen, who was beside him, immediately seemed to notice something was wrong and let out a low growl, "Hide quickly!"

The quickest to follow his lead were Shen Yu and Pei Wenyu, who moved almost instantly, concealing themselves behind the twisted, spiraling matter at the edge of this chaotic space.

Jiang Bo, Lan Fu, and Fu Yun reacted a little slower, but at least managed to keep up with the actions of the first two.

As for Wang Qi, he was a little too foolishly naive in this instance. It wasn't until he noticed that everyone in front of him had disappeared that he followed Shen Yu's direction and hid behind the matter.

Seconds later, an eerie light shone from behind them.

It was hard to describe exactly what kind of light it was. If you were to look at it with the naked eye, you could see a rainbow-like halo.

But this halo was constantly changing, all the colors blending together, like a pool of water polluted by oil.

"Wh-What is this light?"

Wang Qi swallowed, watching as those top players who were too slow to react, or rather, didn't react at all, began to dissolve under the light, their bare white bones exposed to the air.

Even though the temperature and humidity in the air hadn't changed at all, just being illuminated by that light for a moment was enough to melt a person's body into a liquid, only the skeleton hidden beneath the flesh and skin spared from its effects.

"Ahhh!!!"

Throughout the chaotic boundary, miserable screams rang out from all directions, almost completely filling the space.

Even with their bodies half-melted, the half-corpses still tried to crawl into the shadows, dragging the acrid, pungent gelatinous substance across the ground, emitting zombie-like wails.

"Damn, that's terrifying!" Wang Qi said, still shaken. Fortunately, Yan Yichen had reacted in time and reminded them, otherwise, with his own abilities, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to reach the shadows before his body completely dissolved.

"Good thing we hid, or we'd probably be a mess like them now," Wang Qi said, looking at the others beside him and in the shadows opposite. "But in that case, should we be considered to have completed the 'survive' requirement of the mission?"

"No," Jiang Bo said with a serious expression, looking at Yan Yichen, who shared his view. "You saw it too, we'll die if we're exposed to the light, so we have to find the shadows.

"But the number of players in the chaotic boundary is far greater than the number of people the shadows can hide.

"That means not everyone can survive.

"So those players exposed to the light, in order to survive, will definitely try to snatch the shadows' coverage.

"And among these people, the least competitive...

"...is us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, several top foreign players, screaming miserably under the light, charged towards them.

"Hand over the shadows!"

"You're just a bunch of ordinary players, you have no hope of clearing this damn game, you should give us the chance!"

"A bunch of damn guys, even freeloaders deserve to occupy such an important spot?"

Normally, if they encountered these top players, they might obediently give up their positions and give others the chance to pass the level.

Because they knew their own limitations.

But it was different now.

Although they hadn't explicitly stated it to each other, they were all people blessed by a "certain higher being". Since they had been given this opportunity, they certainly wouldn't give it up easily.

Otherwise, what qualifications would they have to live up to the opportunity given to them by others?

Clang——

A loud noise, containing both the shrill cry of a spear like a dragon and the hiss of a blade cutting through space.

However, top players were still top players. Even when faced with such strong resistance from Shen Yu and Pei Wenyu, they didn't die instantly, only taking a few steps back, without leaving any injuries on their bodies.

However, Shen Yu and Pei Wenyu being unharmed didn't mean that the dazzling light in the chaotic boundary was harmless.

Exposing themselves to the light for a few more seconds, their bodies had already begun to collapse completely, not even being dried up, but completely dissolved!

White bones fell to the ground, disappearing into the cold, hard surface of the chaotic boundary.

The towering stone pillars, stacked with withered bones, built a higher level of the God-slaying platform.

The surrounding top players instantly understood that these people were definitely not easy to mess with.

Killing them was simple.

But killing them while enduring the eerie light was harder than ascending to heaven.

Soon, the first batch of unprepared players had been eliminated by this eerie light.

For a time, everyone was in a stalemate, but the task still didn't pop up with a completion notification.

Could there be something even more terrifying behind this?

Just as Yan Yichen's brain was racing, a very, very soft humming sound entered his ears.

Yan Yichen turned his head in horror, looking towards the empty space with no shadows, only to see a cleaning worker, pulling a cleaning cart, wearing headphones, walking past them as if nothing was wrong.

"Oh?" As soon as the cleaning worker saw their faces, he recognized them at once, as if someone had greeted him in advance, took off his headphones, and waved his hand. "Hello."

The group looked at the cleaning worker in a daze, who didn't care about their gazes at all, and showed a smile on his face.

"Now, you're still standing in the shadows, is that really okay?"

The cleaning worker used a strange rhetorical question, causing a chill to run down everyone's spines.

"Maybe in the next second, something will crawl out of the shadows."

Thump!

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the shadows suddenly felt their feet sink, the original shadows seeming to turn into a bottomless pool, about to swallow them all!

In the SKPI Containment Center, just as Xu Tong had found the containment area for the Outer God's organs on the director's office desk, thinking about how to get there.

He found an arrow drawn on the desk drawer.

Xu Tong:?

He reached out and pulled open the desk drawer.

Inside lay a SKPI Containment Center employee wristband that he had used in a previous instance.

It had Xu Tong's name on it.

But the employee's level was written with four words.

Containment Specialist.
