Chapter 142 The Final Chapter (2)
Before they could even react to what had happened, several muffled thuds rang out. When they turned to look, all they could see was a rose that was shrinking.
"Rose flowers eat people!"
"Get away from roses!"
The dispersed crowd squeezed back into the square. The huge square that had just annoyed them had now become their safest haven.
Only in a safe place can one truly process thoughts. Everyone turned their heads and looked around, and after only a few glances, they felt their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
Where the roses devoured people, the ground sank, and the floor tiles cracked in a spiderweb pattern, which gives you an idea of just how heavy that headbutt must have been.
And... roses eat people!
This godforsaken place is covered in roses everywhere!!
The crowd was filled with unease, whispering amongst themselves and cursing. The square was as chaotic as a marketplace, yet not a single person stepped out of this protected area for newbies.
Mo Xinglan and everyone in the live stream twitched at the corners of their mouths, while Gou Dan tried to force a smile but couldn't manage it.
This is supposed to save the princess? I expect the princess herself to be faster than them if she ran out on her own.
Left with no other choice, Mo Xinglan moved her finger, and a huge black notification box appeared above everyone's heads.
A line of blood-red characters slowly appeared, and a strange voice that seemed to be neither male nor female nor old nor young sent chills down everyone's spine.
Congratulations to all players for activating the D-rank dungeon, the Mysterious Creature – 'Gluttonous Rose'!
[Introduction]: I'm a rose, I don't move, I don't speak, I don't hit anyone. So what if I'm a little greedy? Didn't you touch me first? You touched me, so it's reasonable for me to eat you for nourishment, right?
???
An introduction? Is this an introduction? And congratulations? Congratulations my foot!
Looking at the rather frivolous "introduction" above their heads, everyone in the square couldn't help but mutter curses under their breath. After two minutes, someone with a quick mind spoke up, "The Gluttonous Rose's ability to eat people is a passive skill. As long as we're careful not to touch the roses, we'll be fine!"
This statement sparked a heated discussion, with some people shouting, "Everyone, we must clear the game instance and get out of here quickly, we don't have time!"
"The master's plan is about to be implemented. We entered at 11:00, and it's 11:20 now. That means if we can't get out of the instance within 40 minutes, all our nearly 10,000 years of planning will be in vain, and we'll get nothing when the master rewards us!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the two hundred or so people changed, transforming from panic and fear to a fierce determination to win.
The next second, the two hundred-plus people split into dozens of small teams and scattered into the city.
Mo Xinglan smiled with satisfaction as she watched two figures walk into the small building where she was sitting. After a short while, two stiff people walked behind her, motionless, with cold and empty eyes.
[Holy crap, over ten thousand years! Just who are these people?!]
[Upstairs, you should ask what Sister Lan's identity is.]
Am I the only one curious about what that millennia-long plan is?
[You're not alone upstairs, but I'm more curious about who that "adult" is.]
[A D-rank dungeon? Will these ancient monsters really die?]
[Having lived for ten thousand years, D-rank dungeons are so easy, it's just a matter of sweeping through, right?]
Seeing that everyone below had started moving, Mo Xinglan answered a question from the live stream in a good mood.
"I said it's a strange creature from a D-rank dungeon, who said dungeon bosses are only D-rank?"
"That old guy, whose danger level is almost 5S, won't let a single person escape~"
Wait a minute, it won't let a single one go!
Mo Xinglan lowered her eyelashes, blew on the tea foam floating in her teacup, and thought to herself to Gou Dan, who was leaning on the railing watching the show, "Retreat on time at fifty-five, otherwise I'm afraid that old bastard will leave us both here too."
Dog Egg turned around and gave her an OK sign, then leaned on the railing to continue watching the show.
She seemed completely unconcerned, but when she raised her arm, she inadvertently revealed a small digital watch on her wrist.
Mo Xinglan raised an eyebrow, casually took a sip of tea, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
......
D-rank dungeons are generally considered easy by veteran players. They don't require much brainpower or high combat strength. As long as you are perceptive enough, you can clear them by relying on intuition and a little bit of intelligence and strength.
Those who were previously anxious now almost all had a map to the castle, and apart from a few unlucky ones who accidentally touched the "Greedy Rose," no one was injured.
Suddenly, everyone's fear of the "Death Game" plummeted. Some even started boasting that if they were the ones entering the "Death Game," they could definitely complete all fifty games perfectly, and they blatantly belittled those who couldn't get out of the "Death Game" as useless.
These remarks thoroughly enraged the viewers in the live stream, and the chat exploded with insults and abuse, with many demanding that Mo Xinglan teach these idiots a lesson.
Mo Xinglan and Gou Dan both turned cold at this moment.
This was a dungeon they had supervised and created, and Mo Xinglan was the direct person in charge of the [Death Game]. Their remarks had completely offended Mo Xinglan.
“No rush…” Mo Xinglan squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, her lips pressed tightly together, her eyes blazing with murderous intent. “The higher you stand, the harder you fall.”
Dog Egg's delicate face wore a chilling smile. "No way...besides those few idiots, no one has ever dared to humiliate me like this..."
She pulled over an electronic screen that projected a virtual keyboard, and her little hands flew across the keyboard, creating afterimages.
"I'll fucking torture them to death, then leave them alive until the end so I can heal them and let that old bastard have some fun!"
As a series of commands were issued, the once peaceful instance was filled with wails and screams, and blood finally began to stain this beautiful rose kingdom.
More than half an hour later, a group of people who looked like beggars stood in the square, supporting each other, looking up at the ancient castle in front of them, which was covered in bright red.
A large expanse of roses surrounds the castle, the red castle contrasting beautifully with the dark, cloud-filled sky.
Rose Castle—although I'm not entirely satisfied with this one, it's the most fitting picture.
The scenery was beautiful, yet it sent chills down everyone's spine.
The wind blew by, and what lingered around my nose was not the sweet fragrance of roses, but a nauseatingly strong smell of blood.
After more than half an hour of torture, these arrogant fools finally realized that the "death game" was not their mission. Their tattered clothes and missing limbs constantly reminded them of the cruelty and horror of this place.
No one dared to speak loudly anymore, and they didn't even have the strength to whisper.
Those who boasted at the beginning are all gone now. They died tragically, almost all of them tortured to the point of wishing for death before being swallowed by a 'Gluttonous Rose'.
Congratulations on reaching the final stage! The current time is 23:52.
A strange sound rang out, causing the hundred-plus people present to shudder.
As a reward, all players will be healed, and their foolish companions will be returned to their rightful owners.
Mo Xinglan drank the last sip of tea, then casually waved her hand. A flash of cyan light appeared, and those who had been swallowed by the 'Gluttonous Rose' closed their eyes and piled up on the ground like a human pyramid.
Their wounds were slowly healing, and the person with their eyes closed was emitting a faint groan.
The black notification box reappeared, and the dark red bloodstains were much larger this time, indicating some urgency.
[DM044 once again wishes all players a healthy corpse and a happy death~]
At the same time, Mo Xinglan put down her teacup and disappeared from the attic with Gou Dan, exiting the instance.
However, the [Bloody Live Room] is still there.
Three seconds later, a figure enveloped in black and red light appeared in the attic. A withered hand picked up the still warm teacup, examined it for two seconds, and then crushed it into powder.
A voice that was neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang, came from within the light and shadow.
"Two little bugs escaped..."
"It's alright, there are still plenty of bugs to eat..."
"But...none of them are as nutritious..."
