Chapter 113 The entry for the box opener

Yang Hui raised his Patek Philippe watch and glanced at the time; almost two hours had passed.

After looking at it, he put it back in his sleeve. This watch could buy his life.

The random task just now, climbing the mountain, wasted too much time.

Huang Ying held her ten fingers together in front of her face, revealing black nail polish, and unfolded fifteen commemorative tickets in a fan shape in her hand, her eyes already sparkling.

"There are fifteen of these mountain climbing tasks!"

Yang Hui also received fifteen cards as a reward from a random task.

"Where's Huang Cen? I'm worried he might be in danger. Should we go find him?" Yang Hui suggested.

Huang Ying had already witnessed Yang Hui's extraordinary strength.

So she toned down her words considerably: "My brother is tough and resilient, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, there are only the three of us in the art museum, so there's probably no danger."

"I'm a little worried that he might damage the exhibits in the museum and then have to pay for them afterwards."

I can tell, this is his older brother.

Huang Ying started rambling on, listing many examples of Huang Cen's resilience.

Yang Hui squatted down at this moment. The wooden floor under his feet was originally spotless, but now there were two faint mud marks.

The footprints appeared out of nowhere in front of the painting, without extending outwards.

Yang Hui thought to himself: Was it the strange thing that attracted him here by his entry?

Or did someone actually sneak in?

It would be too easy for a huge art museum to hide someone.

Was the giant rock just now a prank, or a test in a random quest?

There are many possibilities.

Yang Hui might find the answer to all of this by going to just one place.

He said to Huang Ying, "I need to check for safety hazards. Do you want to go by yourself, or come with me?"

"Checking for safety hazards? So professional? That 40 yuan was well spent! What did you find?" Huang Ying's attitude changed from when she was being sucked into the painting.

Perhaps it was something Yang Hui did that touched her, maybe it was applying medicine to her wounds when she was in pain, or maybe it was his towering figure, like a giant god, that shattered the boulder with a single blow.

Huang Ying couldn't quite put her finger on it, but her intuition told her that it wouldn't hurt to listen to him more.

Yang Hui didn't notice Huang Ying's change in attitude; he pointed to the mud stains on the ground.

Huang Ying walked around for a few steps before she could spot a barely perceptible black mark in the dim light.

"You're so meticulous! My goodness! You're incredibly professional, but—could we have stepped on this?"

Yang Hui shook his head: "There are only traces here, as if they appeared suddenly. The footprints are clearly male, but they don't match my shoe size."

"We can't rule out the possibility that it's caused by another game instance, but going to one location should be enough to figure it out."

"Do you want to come along? Or are you going to prioritize efficiency and go solo to continue collecting commemorative tickets?"

Yang Hui gave the decision-making power to the client.

Looking at the commemorative ticket in her hand, Huang Ying's confidence soared. She waved her hand and said, "I don't need you. I'll just wander around by myself."

Yang Hui nodded, chose a direction, turned around, and left.

Huang Ying looked up, but Yang Hui had already disappeared around the corner.

The surrounding atmosphere instantly fell silent, with each painting subtly illuminated by a soft spotlight.

The corridor ceiling was lit only by hidden lights the size of coins, one every few meters, enveloping her like a veil.

Huang Ying then realized that she was the only person in the entire circular corridor. She tiptoed a few steps, as if she had come here to steal something.

Suddenly! A chill ran down her spine, as if something was staring at her, so she turned her head sharply.

It was a painting with a cold gray background, highlighting a dark humanoid creature with long limbs, standing in a strange posture.

It has no face or features, and seems as if it might jump out of the painting at any moment, which is quite creepy.

Huang Ying was a little scared. She didn't dare to move her eyes and unconsciously murmured, "Yang—Yang Hui?"

"

She then quickly ran in the direction Yang Hui had disappeared, shouting, "Wow! Bodyguard!"

Wait for me! I'd rather stay with you!

Her voice echoed through the art gallery until she met up with Yang Hui.

A few minutes after Huang Ying left.

The humanoid creature in the painting suddenly twisted, and an oval head suddenly lunged forward, trying to break out of the frame, but it seemed to be blocked by a thin membrane. However, soon its limbs also squeezed out of the painting.

It stood quietly in the corridor, slowly turning its head diagonally upwards, staring at a patch of shadow.

There was someone there, silently standing in the air, watching this scene without making a sound.

A line of light had already appeared on his panel.

[Random quest triggered: It will follow you relentlessly until you completely destroy it!]

He let out a strange laugh.

To have one's soul scattered? That would be such a waste.

He quietly extended his ten fingers, from which a few thin threads dangled, like raindrops, shimmering under the soft light.

If Yang Hui were present, he would have immediately recognized that this was the faint light he had seen atop the boulder in the painting.

The silk thread hung down silently and connected to the strange, standing humanoid creature.

It trembled twice, then calmed down and stopped staring at the ceiling.

"This is the first time I've ever destroyed a game instance by myself, so I absolutely can't let anything go wrong."

As a novice in opening boxes for the Seeking Truth Society, Xiang Mingge was just practicing this time. After destroying the D-level game dungeon, he probably wouldn't get anything good from it.

But there's a first time for everything, and things will get better in the future!

Xiang Mingge silently cheered himself on, flicked his finger, and controlled the twisted black shadow, which limped and chased after Yang Hui.

He was already level 20, having entered the game at the maximum level of D-rank dungeons, so his strength was naturally not a problem.

Those two were indeed from wealthy families; they could even afford to hire bodyguards for a game instance.

However, their wealth was both their strength and their weakness.

They booked the entire venue.

There were only three people in the huge game instance, but he should avoid killing those two rich kids, as it would cause trouble later and he would have to go into hiding.

The main task should still be to disrupt the conditions for passage.

His core attribute is the blue "Puppet Master," an initial attribute that adds stats, plus a green "Expansion." Combined with the "Puppet Master" attribute, it allows him to manipulate objects from about 100 meters away.

Xiang Mingge already has a plan.

The enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows.

The first thing to do is to get rid of that annoying game instance bodyguard.

He had just stirred the boulder to see how they would react, but unexpectedly, he directly overcame all obstacles with his own strength.

He had already figured it out; that bodyguard was likely a high-attribute individual, and he couldn't confront him directly.

These hotheads are the most ruthless when they start fighting.

Xiang Mingge judged that Yang Hui was an absolute violent maniac who focused on strength and physical attributes.

They certainly don't know that someone has already infiltrated.

Xiang Mingge caused the power outage at the art museum so that he could better hide himself.

We must find an opportunity in the shadows! Take him down!

The remaining two useless rich kids can be toyed with at will, can't they?
