Chapter 440 Disposable Item

Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Disposable Item

"Whether we have them or not is irrelevant," Xu Huo understood clearly that whether they were ticket players or players who came with the Kong Siblings, the most likely outcome was to be silenced. As for the protected Dr. Deng, when the critical moment arrived, he could also be an expendable asset.

"Irrelevant?" Wan Yunrong exclaimed incredulously, "If we still have someone from the Kong Siblings among us, isn’t that very dangerous for the others?"

"We still have to act together. If someone turns against us at the last moment, we might all end up dead."

"What I mean by irrelevant is that there’s no need to worry about internal strife now," Xu Huo explained, "We are all together, and we can keep an eye on each other. Do you have any evidence for your self-examination?"

Wan Yunrong was at a loss for words. She hadn’t even noticed anything wrong with Ge Pan, let alone the others.

"What about Zhu Rumin and Mao Wei you mentioned?" Miao Yu inquired.

These three were at least collaborators, with Ge Pan admitting he was working for the Kong Siblings. Mao Wei and Zhu Rumin were also ticket players sneaked in to work for others; this was undisputed.

"Ge Pan and Mao Wei let Zhu Rumin go," Xu Huo said. "Mao Wei is already dead, and Zhu Rumin’s whereabouts are unknown; she might have already met up with the Kong Siblings, and there’s also Qiu Xiangdong."

When mentioning Qiu Xiangdong, his gaze turned to Ge Pan, who said, "I don’t know Qiu Xiangdong."

"There is another problem," Xu Huo continued, "Is the player with the vacuum cleaner really dead?"

Ge Pan stared at him, "What do you think?"

Xu Huo nodded slightly, "This person is of no use now, and keeping him is a danger."

This implied an execution. The others had no objection, but Ge Pan wouldn’t just wait for his doom. With a sway of his body, an old projector appeared in front of him:

"Irreversible rewind!"

The projector made a "click-click" sound as it rewound, but to no avail—it seemed to get jammed and swayed in place not reaching a quarter of the way.

When the projector appeared, the first reaction of all players was to retreat and be on guard. At the same time, Xu Huo, Wu Xiaonan, and Miao Yu attacked the projector from afar, but they failed to destroy it.

Considering the level of this item must be high, everyone had to back off even farther. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, it was still stuck and malfunctioning in the distance. Chu Yuan then walked over and kicked the projector, "Is your thing broken?"

To everyone’s surprise, the projector shattered into pieces with that kick.

Ge Pan’s eyes widened in shock at the scene before him, struggling violently despite his tongue being pierced, "How is this possible... My item!"

Miao Yu sheathed her dagger, "It seems it was a single-use item."

"Single-use items usually have very potent effects; it’s the best high-level item lower-ranked players can get. And it didn’t work?" Gan Qing couldn’t help but say.

"It’s a space-time item! Who here has a space-time item?" Ge Pan’s eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets. This was his trump card for escaping, but he could not accept this outcome.

"Space-time item?" Wu Xiaonan looked around, "If it’s of a similar space-time type, the level should be high. Is it one of ours?"

Space-time items can cover varying ranges, so it wasn’t possible to confirm whether the item that destroyed the projector was one of their own.

Instead, Xu Huo turned to look at Wu Xiaonan, "Is it you?"

Wu Xiaonan shook her head, "You don’t think when I mentioned holding back a Rank-B player, I was referring to a space-time item, do you?"

"No, I don’t have such a prop."

"Forget it, let’s not fuss over whose prop it is." said Wan Yunrong, "Don’t forget there are two Rank-B players here. Is it strange for them to have space-related props?"

That was indeed true, so the players didn’t continue on this topic. Xu Huo reeled in the kite string, and Ge Pan’s body flew to his feet, pierced through the neck by the Crimson Sword. As blood sprayed out, the game prompt also arrived.

Xu Huo took out a few of Ge Pan’s props, "It seems that only these few props can be of use, shall we talk about the rest when we make it out alive?"

"I have no objections," Wu Xiaonan was the first to speak.

Although Xu Huo had been acting neither warm nor hot, the information revealed by Chu Yuan spoke volumes of his abilities. It was quite generous of him to bring out the props for distribution, while the potions and White Notes were minor details.

Among Ge Pan’s items, the best one had to be the "Director’s Privilege" he had used before, which resets the scene by saying "cut". The reset could occur from ten to five minutes before the moment of use, depending on how the user operates it.

The effect of this prop was to make someone lose their memory for a very short period of time, creating an element of surprise in predicting a person’s actions, speech, and behavioral patterns.

"This prop is very useful, maybe we could use it to find out what the Kong Siblings are hiding," said Chu Yuan.

"The only downside is that the person holding this prop cannot appear in the scene before the reset. We need someone to hide," Miao Yu said. "Who will take this prop?"

"Give it to Gan Qing, he’s injured," Wan Yunrong suggested. "Even if he joins in, he won’t be very helpful."

"No way!" Wu Xiaonan and Chu Yuan objected in unison.

"You don’t trust me?" Gan Qing’s face darkened. "Are we starting to doubt each other again at a time like this?"

"It’s not that I distrust you," Chu Yuan scratched his head and said, "I just think, well, this prop should be used by someone really smart. What if you don’t hide well or choose the wrong moment? Wouldn’t that waste an opportunity?"

"I feel the same way," Wu Xiaonan nodded.

Gan Qing was obviously not the best choice for a task requiring quick thinking and action.

"I think Xu Zhi is fine," Miao Yu said. "He was the first to suspect Ge Pan, and moreover, he can avoid certain characteristic effects and is less likely to be affected. If the Kong Siblings have such abilities, he’ll be more apt to save the situation by being on the side."

Most people had no objections, and Wan Yunrong naturally didn’t have much else to say.

Ge Pan’s important items were divided among them, and after disposing of his corpse, the group went down to the underground level, the floor with the room that housed the assignment board.

It was not yet dawn, and the lights were still off, but the darkness clearly gave them an advantage, so they decided to dismantle the lights first.

"Don’t destroy the lights directly; find the circuit and cut it," Xu Huo instructed.

The lights in Deep Blue Laboratory had no external switch. It took a while to locate the circuit, and required some effort to pry open the metal plate.

"Why go through all this trouble?" Chu Yuan asked, puzzled. "Isn’t it easier to just smash the lights? Besides, the metal plate can’t be repaired once it’s damaged, and it makes it easy for other players to find us."

"Try not to damage the laboratory’s stuff," Xu Huo didn’t explain much, just said these words.

Next was the task assignment. Wu Xiaonan volunteered to tackle Kong Hui, while Xu Huo’s initial task was to assist from the sideline. The main issue was how to arrange the others.
