Chapter 429 Thanks
Chapter 429 Thanks
Although it's disgusting to have those wriggling brain tissues piercing your brain, there's no way to stop resisting...
After confirming one by one that the players whose brains had been pierced were still breathing, and unlike that unfortunate male player, they were all alive.
Chen Yi resigned himself to his fate.
"Stop resisting," Chen Yi said gravely. "Just let them prick us."
Yu Shijiu: "..."
He stared at the mangled corpses, their brains chopped off and trampled to pieces, lying on the floor beneath the blankets. He remained silent for a long time, unable to imagine what it would be like to have a brain implanted in his own. Finally, he said:
"Brother Chen, you go first... I'll try a little longer."
Chen Yi: "..."
"Don't overexert yourself," Chen Yi advised.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
“I know,” Yu Shijiu replied while struggling to chop up the brain, “I just want to rebel.”
...although it may be useless.
But Yu Shijiu remained stubborn.
Feifei stood firmly beside Yu Shijiu, shielding him from some brains that suddenly appeared from the shadows.
Chen Yi: "..."
He watched as the man and his pet (two stubborn creatures!!!) worked hard to chop off the brains, and felt a sharp pain in his head. Finally, a brilliant idea struck him.
"I recently learned how to make braised pork chops with sauce, and it tastes really good."
Chen Yi coughed and said, "Would you like to try some?"
Yu Shijiu paused in his chopping motion, leaned back to dodge an attack, and quickly nodded, "Of course I want it!"
"Then stop wasting your time and just get stabbed with me!"
Chen Yi stepped forward and grabbed Yu Shijiu's arm, shielding him from a sneak attack by a brain-shaped insect that pierced his brain.
Chen Yi opened his eyes and froze on the spot.
A bewildered Yu Shijiu: "..."
He looked down and exchanged a glance with Fatty. Just as he was about to speak, the surrounding brains seemed to go crazy and twitched wildly. The dense brains crawled up from the inner wall of the elevator.
Seeing this, Yu Shijiu very obediently (and pragmatically) put away the axe, closed his eyes, and stopped resisting.
He's not stupid. He only tried to chop off the brains because he felt disgusted and could fight back... But now—he seemed to have heard a saying somewhere: "A wise man submits to circumstances."
The chubby guy next to him, baring his teeth and ready to fight back: "..."
"..."
The wriggling motion of the brains on the inner wall paused.
Yu Shijiu opened one eye to look at them and said with dissatisfaction, "Are you pricking me? Why aren't you pricking me anymore?"
Brains: "..."
An angry brain matter pierced Yu Shijiu's forehead. A slightly sharp, brief stinging pain came from the spot where the brain matter was pierced. Before Yu Shijiu could even frown, he fell into a deep sleep.
The chubby guy, abandoned on the spot: "..."
It circled around Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi, and even tried to get the brain-like creatures that were still wriggling on the elevator walls to attack it.
The result is naturally impossible.
The brains didn't even pay it any attention, and just sank into the sea of countless wriggling brains, wandering up, down, left, and right.
Despite repeated provocations, the chubby guy who didn't get his head poked: "..."
It finally realized something belatedly.
Animals don't seem to be among those whose heads are being pierced with brains.
Realizing this, Fatty was extremely angry. After meowing several times, it lazily wrapped its tail around Yu Shijiu's calves, endured the dirt, and lay on the other's instep while yawning.
So sleepy, meow—
Fatty's eyes suddenly widened as it stared in disbelief at the man with the missing limb and buzz cut in the corner not far away, watching him stand up and walk towards it.
The fat guy, who had just been lying down, instantly stood up straight, his fur standing on end, and he hunched over with his back to the buzz-cut male player, growling incessantly.
The short-haired male player acted as if he hadn't seen it at all, walking straight past all the players who were frozen in place, and heading straight for the elevator buttons.
Then, under Fatty's astonished gaze, the buzz-cut male player pressed the keys on the keyboard without blinking, focusing intently on the eyeballs that were darting around.
As the short-haired male player pressed the eyeball button, the entire elevator shook violently.
The numbers 1234 on the screen jumped wildly, finally settling into a thick, crimson red, making the numbers illegible.
Fatty: "..."
Its pupils widened in shock; the whole cat was completely stunned.
How could someone act out of control?
Then Fatty watched helplessly as the buzz-cut male player blew up several eyeballs. The popping sounds made Fatty instinctively droop his ears.
Then, the elevator door was actually opened by the buzz-cut male player.
Fatty: "..."
It quickly licked its lips and saw outside the opened elevator door—utter darkness.
It's not a corridor.
It's not a corridor on any floor.
There was no trace of any strange creatures or animals.
But Feifei sensed something extremely terrifying from this eerie darkness. It arched its back defensively, using its body to shield Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi behind it.
The short-haired male player stood with his back to it by the elevator door. Three seconds later, he mechanically turned his head and said something in the direction of Fatty.
"……Thanks."
A thank you that is almost devoid of any emotion, an inorganic expression of gratitude.
Fatty's defensive posture suddenly froze, and she stared blankly at the face of the short-haired male player.
The other person's face was still covered with blood splattered from his severed arm, and his eyes were filled with a spiderweb-like pattern of blood.
Fatty thought for a while before finally realizing that the short-haired male player was thanking Yu Shijiu.
But now... looking at Yu Shijiu, who was motionless and clearly not in a conscious state, Feifei felt a little sad for some reason.
His master had received almost no kindness or the most sincere gratitude from humans in the long past... but this time he did receive it, and he couldn't hear it.
Fatty sniffed its wet nose.
At the elevator entrance, the short-haired male gamer turned around after saying those words and stepped straight into the endless darkness outside the elevator doors.
Fatty subconsciously took a step forward.
Drop drop drop-
The elevator doors slowly began to close, and through the gaps, Fatty saw the short-haired male player limping and clutching his bleeding severed arm as he gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Feifei lowered its head and licked its paw pads, then returned to Yu Shijiu's side and lay down again, wrapping its tail around Yu Shijiu's calves once more.

"call!"
Chen Yi was suddenly jolted awake by the sharp pain deep in his brain, and realized that his hands and feet were also experiencing excruciating pain, which made him groan involuntarily.
Then he was whipped.
Snapped!
The pain intensified, and Chen Yi's face contorted instantly: "..."
"Don't make any noise!"
The blurry figure in front of him who had lashed out with a whip sneered, uttering a voice that was neither male nor female.
"Don't make a sound that disturbs the surgery, or I'll throw you out to feed the dogs right now!"
