Chapter 587: Calmly Going Mad

~7 min read 1,253 words

When it came time for Shen Zexi to speak and offer comfort, he again didn't know how to speak.

Should I offer my condolences?

No wonder he ran so fast in the game just now; he had guessed how ugly the upcoming scene would be.

Shen Zexi and Qi Hengyu exchanged a glance; Qi Hengyu nodded in understanding and immediately grasped Shen Zexi's meaning.

The key is, do they really have anyone who can stop Ying Duo?

Ying Duo's speed is well known; given the current balance of forces, he might not be able to beat Chi Jinan in a fight, but escaping is absolutely no problem.

Likewise, if Ying Duo really pulls out his cannon to blast Chi Jinan, they also have no one who can stop him.

Even if Qi Hengyu is not weak right now, he still can't stop him!

"...... Ying Duo, it's fine, your hair will grow back after a while."

It's unclear whether this was said for Ying Duo to hear, or if Shen Zexi was just comforting himself.

Under the collective gaze of everyone, Ying Duo simply raised his hand slowly and touched his now somewhat prickly head.

The player's top-notch appearance!!!

Ying Duo's usual stoic face showed no joy or anger, but everyone subconsciously had their hearts jump to their throats.

Chi Jinan going berserk is a normal scene; in fact, the Church folks are pretty used to it, so when they saw Chi Jinan slash Ying Duo, most people remained unmoved.

At times like this, only the leaders can be counted on to stop him; if even they can't, then there's no point mentioning the underlings.

But Chi Jinan had been hacking away for ages just to give someone a haircut, and the few people over there were eerily silent, so even their underlings didn't understand why the atmosphere suddenly became so stagnant.

It was as if that kid who should be a wanted criminal was even more dangerous than Chi Jinan when he goes berserk......

The underlings had already quietly placed their hands on the flamethrowers at their waists; their weapons had been uniformly replaced with these during the recent operation, and although everyone basically kept some portable light weapons, the killing power would definitely not be enough.

"Huuu......"

Shen Zexi never even for a moment felt that Ying Duo was so much like a person.

The fresh buzz cut took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, performed this "very human" action, after which Yang Yixie calmed his emotions.

He casually fastened the hood of his cat-ear sweatshirt, pulling it tight, afraid that during any high-speed movement he would expose the fact that he had become a bald little guy.

Chi Jinan's attack on him carried no killing intent whatsoever; it was probably because, when the game nearly tripped him up with his attack earlier, Chi Jinan had noticed the loophole in Ying Duo's team system.

If his transaction with himself goes smoothly, then Ying Duo's account will likely not be used anymore.

Before, it was just Chi Jinan unilaterally causing trouble, and Yang Yixie only saw him as a problematic middle-schooler; now, however, his grudge with Chi Jinan is totally settled.

Yang Yixie gritted his teeth in hatred; even with Ying Duo's paralyzed face on him, he felt as if a wall of blazing fire had risen behind him.

"Have you guys worked it out?"

Ying Duo typed on the keyboard while walking over to Shen Zexi and the others to ask about the situation.

This was completely different from his previous attitude of utterly ignoring the situation, single-mindedly fixing his gaze on Fang Zhiyan, and handling the main storyline of the dungeon as a hands-off manager.

Although this was supposed to be a joint operation of the Church and the Dome, because Fang Zhiyan went missing midway and Ying Duo's indifference, the whole way has practically become Qi Junyi's one-man rule.

And Ying Duo merely gathered his little group together, then didn't care about anything else.

"For now I still prefer that we stay here and rest properly; our situation over here isn't great."

Shen Zexi spoke up, having prepared himself for Ying Duo to go berserk on the spot, but the result was that Ying Duo was surprisingly rational and calm.

"Then you stay here and rest; I'll go ahead to scout the situation."

Ying Duo said this while his gaze swept over the remaining people; in the end he still took pity and decided to fill the several empty slots in the team system.

Qi Junyi also didn't understand why Shen Zexi so naturally explained the situation to Ying Duo, when he suddenly saw a fluorescent-green window pop up before his eyes.

This color......

Ying Duo couldn't handle Chi Jinan, so he's taking it out on him, right?

After hesitating a few seconds, Qi Junyi still chose to press the confirm button; however, after pressing it the pop-up window indeed disappeared, only to be replaced by even more windows.

Although there are quite a few windows, anyone who often plays the game won't be unfamiliar with these contents.

Things like the mini-map, internal team messages, checking teammates' status......

He said how Chi Jinan had come over, and it turned out to be thanks to this.

Wait, you mean that Chi Jinan and Ying Duo were just fighting to the death up there, but they'd actually already teamed up, and it's actually this wishy-washy guy who's been left out?

Sha Xu Feng, who was also pulled into the team, seemed much calmer; perhaps because he's really been through a lot, he now feels that even if Ying Duo told him he was going to ascend to godhood, he wouldn't be surprised.

After all, after encountering many oddball bosses and coworkers, even more edges will be worn smooth.

"Just you?"

Shen Zexi's face immediately showed disagreement, but looking at Ying Duo's expressionless face, he couldn't tell whether Ying Duo was genuinely scouting or just going ahead to settle the score with Chi Jinan.

"Haven't there already been two people sent over to die?" Ying Duo said bluntly.

"But you alone are still......"

"Then let's go together."

Meng Kexin coldly interrupted, saying that given Ying Duo's personality, not jumping straight in and running away like the first two did was already an exception, and Shen Zexi couldn't possibly stop him.

"No need," Ying Duo also refused Meng Kexin's suggestion, "Luo Jinyou just needs to come with me once."

Luo Jinyou raised his head in confusion, seemingly not expecting the topic to jump to him, but he still immediately walked over to Ying Duo's side.

Meng Kexin frowned slightly, unable to figure out what Yang Yixie was scheming.

"If you're worried about mutation, we can still hold out by continuing to take the medicine."

Xie Jingyan checked the special-effect drugs in her hand; knowing she was coming to the Eternal Silent Abyss for this trip, she had almost bought out Heavenly Dome City's stock of them, cramming them all into her spatial storage device.

Because there wasn't enough space, she also put a lot of them with Ying Duo.

Although most of the detection devices have failed, just looking at the rapid increase in the mutation values of the game and Chi Jinan shows that the concentration of mutation factors inside is obviously even higher than here.

It's even possible that if they merely scrape their skin a little, those mutation factors could rush wildly into the wounds, causing the mutation values to spike.
