Chapter 109 A Terrifying Enemy
"The Great Grimm Adventure," this Dominator-level item called "The Great Grimm Adventure" doesn't sound like a tool from a local profession. Where did the Pure Yang Sect Leader get it? Zhang Yuanqing also had a virtual note in his hand, a blank note.
He held the note for a few seconds, and the item information appeared:
【Name: Voting Note】
【Type: Consumable】
【Function: Voting】
【Introduction: A consumable produced by The Great Grimm Adventure game. Hold the note and stare at the person you choose for more than ten seconds to cast your vote for them.】
【Note: The Great Grimm Adventure is truly an interesting game.】
As he finished reading the item attributes, others also grasped how to use the note. A female guest looked around, saying with a slightly flustered tone, "Who, who should I vote for?" "Don't look at me, everyone lower your gaze, don't look at people randomly."
"Be careful, don't cast your vote inexplicably."
Commotion arose, many people consciously lowered their gazes, avoiding looking at their companions, or their eyes wandered without stopping. Everyone present was an official Wayfarer, experienced, and although somewhat flustered, they weren't completely losing their composure.
Liu Zhiyi looked around wildly, saying loudly:
"We are trapped in a Dominator-level item, the danger level is even higher than a dungeon. Dungeons at least allow us to find a glimmer of hope through decryption, but items are unreasonable.
"So, I propose, everyone vote for the waiters, pick any two, at worst we can give their families compensation after we get out. If we can't get out, it means we're all going to die, what's the difference between dying sooner or later?"
The guests looked at each other, briefly communicating with their eyes, then lowered their gazes again.
"Perhaps, we can use defensive items to resist? Why must we follow the steps of the game prompt, we should resist," someone said.
Orderly professions have higher moral bottom lines.
A Saint shook his head, saying, "It's useless, unless it's a defensive item of the same level, otherwise it's meaningless." Saints, in front of Dominator-level items, are not exactly ants, but not much better.
"Then, then I have nothing to say..." The person who had proposed resistance chose silence.
"If everyone has no objections, shall we start voting? There's only three minutes, voting for the waiters is better than randomly eliminating two of us," Liu Zhiyi said.
Miao Teng'er frowned, as a Wood Sprite, she was gentle in nature. The waiters were hired by her, and she couldn't bear to see them become sacrifices, but she knew she couldn't go against the large group, feeling somewhat frustrated.
Scanning her gaze, she saw Ling Jun and Yuanshi Tianzun walking around the board game, their eyes gleaming, completely oblivious to the voting.
"What are you two looking at?"
She leaned closer, saying softly, "They are going to vote to kill the waiters, do you two have any way to stop it?" "No way," Ling Jun continued to scrutinize the board game, saying:
"When a group is threatened, sacrificing pawns to protect the king is the correct approach, although it's cruel, kindness in a crisis is meaningless, it will only hold you back."
"Kindness is always meaningful, but implementing kindness requires power," Zhang Yuanqing sighed:
"Cracking this Dominator-level item, or finding the Pure Yang Sect Leader, is the best way to show kindness. What have you discovered?"
Ling Jun shook his head, "I'm wondering what profession's item it is, but I can't tell, anyway it's not local. What about you?"
Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice:
"I roughly guessed its origin. That President still has two items that haven't been found, one is Serial Number 2, and one is Serial Number 9. This *Great Grimm Adventure* should be one of them, I didn't expect it to be obtained by the Pure Yang Sect Leader.
"You saw the information just now, this item has a safe time, from when the club was discovered to be sealed to the end of the timer, it's probably ten minutes. In other words, we have ten minutes of safe time.
"After this voting ends, we must find the Pure Yang Sect Leader within ten minutes, otherwise the dice will continue to roll, and people will continue to die."
Ling Jun pondered:
"It's not difficult to make someone tell the truth, there are many lie detection items, with so many Wayfarers present, there's always a way. Also, you just used Astrology to look at everyone's faces, did you record everyone's Destiny Palace?"
The Destiny Palace represents fate, everyone's Destiny Palace is unique. "Of course!" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
"Then it's easy, he will either lie low, waiting for us to find him, or be discovered by you after possessing someone," Ling Jun said:
"What I'm more concerned about is, when Yan'er died, why didn't you see his spiritual body escape?"
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "I can't understand, he's an ancient cultivator, and he also cultivates Illusionist spells, he has more methods than us, it's hard to fathom. However, as long as he dares to continue possessing someone, we can always find him."
Miao Teng'er listened to her cousin and Yuanshi Tianzun's conversation, and suddenly felt a strong sense of security, her heavy mood eased a lot.
That's right, there are many experts here, especially her cousin, Yuanshi Tianzun and Yin Ji, the three of them are the elite of the elite.
It's not an easy task for the Pure Yang Sect Leader to deal with them.
At this time, three minutes had passed, and the guests had already chosen two waiters as objects to be discarded. After most people turned their gaze to the two poor souls, and stared for ten seconds, the information projected in the air changed:
【Countdown ended, congratulations on choosing the companions to be discarded!】
As this information appeared, two pale-faced male employees stiffened, falling straight down, losing their lives, becoming two corpses.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately walked towards the crowd, saying loudly, "Everyone listen to me!"
He told the guests present about the characteristics of the "Great Grimm Adventure" item that he had analyzed earlier.
"Must find the Pure Yang Sect Leader within ten minutes? That's not difficult, the Pure Yang Sect Leader came for the four of you, so he must have possessed one of you," Xie Lingyun said.
Yin Ji shook her head slightly, "They haven't been possessed."
Duanqiao Canxue, the young genius of the Hangzhou branch, nodded, "Directly possessing a Night Wanderer is too obvious, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
Ling Jun said:
"Now, we need to gather everyone in the club together. Teng'er, how many waiters did you hire, are there any on the first and third floors?"
Miao Teng'er said: "Including waiters, cleaners, and security personnel, there are a total of thirty people, most of them are here." Zhang Yuanqing immediately said: "That means there are still people who haven't arrived, immediately gather those people, complete it within two minutes."
Miao Teng'er nodded, giving Uncle Yang a look.
The latter quickly left, and two minutes later, he punctually returned with eight waiters and cleaners who looked frightened. After everyone arrived, Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Now, please all security, cleaning, and service personnel stand by the dining table. Please Saints, stand by the other dining table, and everyone else stay where you are."
Under his arrangement, the people present were divided into three distinct groups.
"Based on my understanding of the Pure Yang Sect Leader, he doesn't have the ability to possess Saints, so he's hiding among the Transcendent Realm and ordinary people," Zhang Yuanqing said, "Now, I need a lie detection item."
Hearing this, Gao Shanliushui, the deacon of Puning District, said, "I have a lie detection item."
With that, he took out a black iron token from his item bar, composed of a rectangle and a semicircle, with the words "Military Order is Like a Mountain" carved on the token.
"This item has a price, which is that you can't lie while holding it." This calm and gentle middle-aged man looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, "Saint quality, is it enough?"
Holding the item, his temperament became majestic and sharp, like a general on the battlefield.
Saint quality should be enough, I originally wanted to use Houtu Boots' "Honest Person" price, the token is more convenient, and more professional Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly, saying, "Enough!"
At the same time, he mentally calculated the time, there were still six minutes. "Who wants to go first?" Gao Shanliushui glanced at the Transcendent Wayfarers. Xie Lingyun took the initiative to say, "Me!"
She took the black iron token, saying, "I am Xie Lingyun, not the Pure Yang Sect Leader." Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment, saying, "Say another sentence: you are not an ancient cultivator." "I am not an ancient cultivator!" Xie Lingyun said.
After saying that, she gently let out a breath, passing the token to her best friend beside her.
The token was passed among the Transcendent Wayfarers, and everyone holding the token said the same lines as Xie Lingyun without any obstacles.
Just as it was passed to Danqing Shengshou, an accident happened. This mascot of the Crab City branch suddenly put the token into his item bar.
"What are you doing?" Gao Shanliushui's face changed. This was his item.
The people around him quickly retreated, away from Danqing Shengshou.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly felt grateful that he hadn't taken out the Houtu Boots. "Mine, this item is mine!"
Danqing Shengshou's handsome face was full of greed, he said fiercely, "With this item, I can become a Saint, I can also rise rapidly, no one can take it from me."
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
In an instant, everyone took action.
Gao Shanliushui's arm turned into a green vine, twisting and extending towards Danqing Shengshou, entangling him.
The Ghost Bride appeared, possessing Danqing Shengshou; Ling Jun transformed into a colorful giant tiger, pouncing on him. "Bang bang!"
Two gunshots, Danqing Shengshou's head exploded into pieces, bones, blood, and brain matter splattering, instantly dying. It was Duanqiao Canxue who fired the shots, his expression fierce and spicy, panting slightly, like an stress response after being frightened.
Zhang Yuanqing and the three members of the Taiyi Sect simultaneously used Spirit Devour, but didn't see the Pure Yang Sect Leader's spiritual body, instead, the residual spiritual body in Danqing Shengshou's body was triggered, slowly floating out.
"He is not the Pure Yang Sect Leader." Yin Ji's beautiful eyebrows were tightly locked. "How could it be..." Duanqiao Canxue's face showed astonishment.
Fooled by a feint Zhang Yuanqing's face sank.
Obviously, this was a countermeasure made by the Pure Yang Sect Leader. Having cultivated Illusionist spells, he could see through the target's mental cracks. Danqing Shengshou's mental weakness was probably getting rid of the mascot title.
So, the Pure Yang Sect Leader used Danqing Shengshou's weakness, amplified his greedy emotions, making him lose resistance to Saint-quality items, risking everything in order to take the item for himself.
At the same time, the Pure Yang Sect Leader also amplified the fear in Duanqiao Canxue's heart, making him take the extreme action of eliminating enemies and leaving no future troubles.
Zhang Yuanqing had dealt with many Illusionists, but compared to the Pure Yang Sect Leader, those Illusionists were like underachievers who hadn't graduated.
Of course, in essence, Dominator-level items limited them, and the Pure Yang Sect Leader was no ordinary Illusionist. Illusionists wouldn't possess others.
As his thoughts turned, Zhang Yuanqing saw the information projected in the air change: 【Safe time timer ended, the dice is rolling, please wait】
The dice floating in the air above the virtual round table was rolling at high speed again. Ten minutes were up.
A few seconds later, the dice gradually stopped, finally landing on seven dots.
Under everyone's tense gaze, the small figurine followed the winding lines, arriving at the ten o'clock position. As the figurine moved, the thick fog broke open, and a line of small words was noted at the ten o'clock position:
"You have obtained the opportunity to roll the dice again." The football-sized dice rolled again.
This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This time, the dice landed on two dots.
The small figurine on the board game walked forward two dots with cheerful steps.
The thick fog broke open, and the twelve o'clock position was a paddy field, with a scarecrow standing in the paddy field. The information marked in this area was:
"You have entered the Scarecrow's Domain, you cannot move for ten minutes, those who violate the Scarecrow's will, be eliminated!" 【Ding! Countdown started!】
"Don't move, everyone don't move," Miao Teng'er said immediately.
As soon as she finished speaking, a waiter shouted with a crying voice, "I, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home!"
The waiter ran madly towards the restaurant door, but as soon as he took two steps, his body suddenly stiffened, and he fell straight down, silently dying.
Her death didn't ring the alarm for everyone, instead, it plunged many people into greater fear.
Two Transcendent Realm Wayfarers suddenly mentally collapsed, screaming and rushing towards the restaurant door, as if there was something terrible chasing them behind them.
"Thump!"
The two fell down one after another, returning to the Spirit Realm.
The emotion of panic was still spreading, even elites like Liu Zhiyi and Duanqiao Canxue began to tremble, sweat rolling down their foreheads. Their eyes kept glancing behind them, as if there was great terror and great crisis behind them.
Damn it, he's using the waiter's death to amplify everyone's panic, spreading fear. People in the Saint Realm are not affected, but people in the Transcendent stage can't resist it at all. If this continues, maybe in the next second, the Transcendent Wayfarers will collectively collapse Zhang Yuanqing was alarmed.
Among the Transcendent Realm, there are also two Night Wanderers. If they die and their spiritual power is taken by the Pure Yang Sect Leader, this ancient cultivator's strength will greatly increase, making him even more troublesome and harder to find.
In that case, The Great Grimm Adventure game will be difficult to stop, and everyone may be played to death by him.
He must find a way to curb the spread of panic, but he can't move right now, and can't take out items from the item bar. He also doesn't have the means of an Illusionist
A Dominator-level item made him experience the difficulty of an S-level dungeon.
At this time, if there was a Musician, the Musician's soothing would be perfect for restraining the Illusionist's ability to provoke emotions. If I had known, I would have brought Xie Lingxi
Wait, there is a Musician here.
