Chapter 866: Dongshi Effect?! No Door!

…

Outside the Building Body.

The cold wind sweeps, raising white snow.

Like clouds rolling and unrolling, wave after wave surges.

The Iron Frame Staircase emits intermittent muffled sounds.

Two Blind Dogs are seen climbing the staircase from the bottom.

Strangely, this type of Monster clearly lacks vision, yet in a silent environment it can precisely determine its path.

Their speed climbing the stairs is very fast.

A hundred meters away arrives in an instant.

When they reach the top, they obediently submit beneath the feet of that dashing woman.

Sss—

Accompanied by a light sound, the Energy Core flashing with radiant light finally extinguishes.

That means…

Rare Hidden Achievement obtained.

The three, locked in a standoff for over an hour, finally make a choice at this moment.

"Time's up," Su Qi says coolly.

"Yeah, it's time to set off," Su Yang stands up and pats his butt.

"During this past hour, you neither acted nor asked, don't you want to know the purpose the Organization sent me for?" Su Qi asks.

"Do you think I don't want to know? Don't you already know?" Su Yang lifts his eyelids slightly, staring directly.

Su Qi does not deny this; she admits, "Although I possess Mind Reading, I cannot wield it at all times."

Su Yang glances at the solemn Lu Zhiwei and says softly, "Is the Cooling finished?"

"Hmm," Lu Zhiwei nods.

"Don't panic, even if she's strong she's just flesh and blood, and these seemingly ferocious Monsters are merely paper tigers," Su Yang says.

"I believe you have a way," Lu Zhiwei whispers.

"As long as I wish, I can end this farce at any time," a hint of arrogance appears in Su Yang's brow.

It's not arrogance.

But absolute confidence in his own strength.

"Then why have you never acted, and instead lingered here with her?" Lu Zhiwei asks, puzzled.

"Some matters must be done by specific people; I wouldn't dare act rashly and upset that Big Figure," Su Yang says.

"The Big Figure you speak of… who is it?" Lu Zhiwei can't help but be curious.

"I don't know its name, but I know that if I act here, I will meet a fate of being reduced to ash," Su Yang says calmly.

"I don't get it."

"Not understanding is fine; knowing less is actually better for you."

"Again being cryptic."

"Hehe…"

"Swish!"

Suddenly, the Blind Dog darts straight toward Su Yang.

Like a high‑speed truck, its momentum is astonishing.

"Watch out!" Lu Zhiwei's eyes widen, hurriedly pulling Su Yang behind her.

Just as she prepares to unleash her Innate Talent, a familiar force suddenly appears.

The Blind Dog within a ten‑meter radius suddenly falls into a Time Slowdown state.

Its movements are slowed without limit.

"'Time Slowdown', this is how it's used, right?"

While Lu Zhiwei is stunned, she hears a voice from behind.

"How did you…"

This completely confuses her.

She hasn't used her Innate Talent yet, why is the Blind Dog slowed?

And according to Su Yang's meaning…

It seems he can also use his own Innate Talent?

How is that possible?

Before she can react, a figure flashes beside her.

Looking up, she sees Su Yang take the Shovel from her hand and strike the Blind Dog's head hard.

"Pop!"

A muffled thud, the huge skull shatters instantly.

Filth spreads everywhere, highly visually shocking.

"If that's all the ability is, I think it's better not to show it and embarrass ourselves," Su Yang says slowly.

"It's just the Dongshi Effect, this power doesn't belong to you," Su Qi reveals.

She had long realized that this 'Su Yang' is not the original Su Yang.

That's why she hasn't acted during this time.

Instead, like Su Yang, she waits silently for the countdown to end.

Striking a Zombie down was meaningless.

Facing the mockery, Su Yang was not annoyed and, with a faint smile, said, "There are never two identical leaves in the world; my existence simply fills a blank in the rule map."

Su Qi, hearing that, mocked even more, "Do you even have the right to talk about rules?"

Su Yang met her sharp gaze and said, "I don't know whether I'm qualified; I only know that you will die soon."

"Just you?"

"Otherwise?"

Su Qi's eyes burst with Radiance, a clear sign that Mind Reading was about to activate.

Seeing this, Su Yang narrowed his eyes and vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Ran away?" Su Qi, seeing that, let all the light in her eyes recede.

Lu Zhiwei was even more bewildered, completely not grasping the reason.

In the past little over an hour, she had more than once wondered what the current situation actually was.

Why Su Yang didn't act directly after Ji Huai's death.

Why, when she had used Time Slowdown and her Innate Talent was in Cooling, the opponent remained still.

Why both of them, while waiting for the Energy Core's Radiance to fade, spouted a bunch of things she couldn't understand?

Now Su Yang's disappearance was even more without warning and without logic.

Su Qi felt the same; the Dongshi Effect she mentioned—could it be hinting at Su Yang's identity?

Countless mysteries surged in her mind, and for a moment Lu Zhiwei actually felt like an outsider.

Like a spectator, she observed every movement in this Death Game.

It should be noted that she had actually encountered Su Yang earlier than anyone else.

But why…

Now looking at him, there is an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity?

After Su Yang vanished, Su Qi's gaze fell on Lu Zhiwei.

"He ran away; what will you do then?"

At that moment, Lu Zhiwei thought something was wrong and turned to run.

But the instant she moved, a Blind Dog suddenly charged forward, Blockading her entire path.

Su Qi, without Mind Reading, could guess that she intended to go through that door into the Inside the Building Entity to avoid external harm.

Since the mask is already torn, why bother holding back?

"Roar!"

The Blind Dog roared, and a Qi Wave suddenly erupted.

Lu Zhiwei couldn't dodge, taking the brunt and being thrown backward.

But as her body became uncontrolled, a strong wind suddenly blew from behind.

When she turned, a peripheral glance caught a Blind Dog charging straight at her back.

Caught from front and rear, there was no retreat.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiwei gritted her teeth and activated her Innate Talent.

"Time Slowdown!"

In an instant, two massive gaping mouths suddenly froze.

It was precisely this momentary slowdown that gave Lu Zhiwei a chance to catch her breath in the dire situation.

In a nearly twisted posture, her elbow struck the Blind Dog's sharp teeth hard, using the reaction force to lessen the impact.

Then she levitated, jumped up, and landed steadily on a Blind Dog's back.

"That was close!" Lu Zhiwei said, still trembling.

Almost.

She had just barely escaped being devoured whole.

It must be said that the Blind Dog, for players with low levels of Gene Modification,

is literally a nightmare existence.

Having just caught her breath, Lu Zhiwei did not stay rooted in place dazed.

She immediately turned and rushed toward the doorway.

However, the moment she turned, she saw Su Qi, who had arrived here a step earlier.

"Trying to run?"

Su Qi, expressionless, slowly lifted the Shovel,

"There's not even a door!"
