Chapter 689: Chapter 362: The Shadow Boss of Undead Meeting_3

["Yes... But what about No.14?" The voice of Stick Man.]

["No.14... It’s unfortunately in the hands of someone troublesome, we can only temporarily give up." Another voice bites out the words with some resentment.]

["What about the place where No.14 once lived, should we send someone to keep an eye on it? That person got No.14, might go investigate." Stick Man’s voice.]

["No need for extra complications! The residence of No.14 is close to the fissure, sending someone there could expose our intentions and attract the Fool’s attention instead."]

["Go and tell the other Shadow Messengers, no one should approach the fissure recently. The top priority for all of us right now is to ensure my safe return to the Star Spirit World. For this, everything else can be sacrificed... You understand what I mean, right?" The other voice.]

["...I understand. Rest assured, President, I’ll convince them to play the role of bait peacefully, and afterwards, they’ll be given a respectable end, allowing them to return to the embrace of the Lord." Stick Man’s voice.]

["Hmm, good." The voice of the other person again.]

[The conversation ends here, and footsteps are heard.]

[Through the perspective of another Sand Spider, you see Stick Man descend from the high platform in the center of the Gu Venom Pool and fall into the pool, but there is a golden cocoon fixed at his waist, within which a golden silkworm is slowly squirming.]

[Under the deterrent of the golden silkworm, none of the venomous insects nearby dared to approach Stick Man, all intentionally making way for him. Stick Man follows this path out of the Gu Venom Pool, until the sound of his footsteps disappear into the darkness...]

Mu You patiently watches this lengthy text, making no moves in the process.

He didn’t expect that someone was on the platform next to the Gu Venom Pool, only a few dozen meters away from him. Thankfully, he was deeply buried in the swarm of insects, which saved him from being noticed and allowed him to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The conversation was incredibly informative.

Firstly, they mentioned the Space Fissure!

Which meant that these Shadow Men have always been travelling to and from Earth through the Space Fissure, not through a door. They can even calculate the exact time the Space Fissure will open next, which is in 43 hours, or early Saturday morning. This person plans to let his shadow escape back when the Space Fissure opens. To achieve this, they’re even willing to sacrifice other Shadow Men as bait, just so the Space Fissure doesn’t get exposed prematurely.

Secondly, this person just mentioned that he ’can’t move’. Meaning, a Shadow Man’s original body enters a ’bed-ridden’ state during the process of projecting their shadow into another world. Moreover, this man seems to be the true boss behind the Undead Association, separate from the rest of the Shadow Men, which is why he needed to use Stick Man as a messenger...

But then again, since the body of the boss of the Undead Association is currently in a location very close to him, alone, and in a state of immobility, can’t he just make a move now?

If he could eliminate the boss behind the scenes right here, many other issues would become a lot simpler.

With this thought, Mu You immediately grips the Pocket Watch and issues a ’battle’ command to the game character.

[You realise that this is a golden opportunity to kill the boss, making up your mind in the spur of the moment, you leap up out of the swarm of insects, revealing yourself. Weapons like machine guns and cannons appear, aimed at the high platform next to the Gu Venom Pool, readying to fire.]

[However, before you can fire, from the darkness atop the platform, some horrifying entity suddenly opens its eyes...]

[You’re enveloped by a strong pressure, rendering you immobile and your consciousness fuzzy.]

[You feel something attacking you...]

[You are dead!]
