Qi Yan also bent the corners of his eyes: "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

In a moment, Qi Jiu's smile disappeared from his face, "Who are you?" ”

He paused deliberately, and looked fixedly at the green cat's eyes, "You brought me into this world, right?" ”

At this moment, the communicator placed next to the pillow suddenly sounded, and the little gray cat that was controlled glanced at the communicator, but Qi Jiu's eyes never took his eyes off it, but he picked up the communicator unhurriedly: "Can you tell me?" ”

Silence spreads in the confrontation.

After a while, an inorganic voice finally came from the other end of the communicator—

"It's not me," the voice on the other end of the communicator was still the same as Qi Yan's, "I don't know how you got in." ”

The other party's firm answer surprised Qi Yan a little.

"But I've got a surprise for you."

"Come to me—"

“！”

The controlled little gray cat suddenly exerted force, it crushed Qi Jiu's Adam's apple with irresistible force, Qi Jiu's strength was completely unable to resist as if it was evacuated, he coughed frantically, the air was lost little by little, and his brain began to buzz because of lack of oxygen.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he woke up from a dream.

It was the sound of water coming from the bathroom that woke Qi Jiu from his dream.

Hydroacoustics? The monster that was soaked in the bathtub and dying could not move, and it was almost impossible to make a movement.

But at this moment, there is a faint sound of water, like someone who is constantly playing with the water in the bathtub, and there is a gurgling sound from time to time.

The vigilance made Qi Yan wake up immediately, he got off the bed lightly, and tiptoed close to the bathroom with the door covered.

Sticking to the door, the strange sound of water became clearer and clearer, and Qi Zhen even heard a very slight whimpering sound similar to that of a human.

At this time, Qin Rang also woke up, and when he sat up from the bed, he looked strangely at Qi Jiu, who was standing at the door of the bathroom, Qi Yan pressed his index finger to his lips, signaled not to make a noise, and gestured to him: prepare your weapons.

Qin Rang, who had fought a few battles, immediately understood, he got some weapons from the inventory and immediately tiptoed in the direction of Qi Yan.

Qi Jiu's hand on the doorknob became tighter and tighter, exchanging glances with each other, and Qi Jiu turned the doorknob-

"Squeak."

The old wooden door made a sound similar to that of a broken bellows, and the strong smell of fishy and rotten meat came to the face.

The subtle sound of water continued, not ending with the act of opening the door.

After waiting for three seconds and confirming that there was no sudden crisis, Qin Rang raised his flashlight and shone it in the direction of the bathtub.

A white pillar of light shrouded the bathtub, and the scene in front of him made the eyes of the two people standing by the door wide-

The scarlet liquid in the bathtub splashed all over the white porcelain tiles, and the water was of varying depths, as if some tiny life was struggling and jumping in the stranded puddle.

In the bathtub filled with red liquid, there are also countless small things swimming in the slime, and they occasionally stir up small splashes and make a rattling sound.

That's where the sound comes from.

And the dying monster was now peeled off its scales, and its skin exposed to the air was bloody, like a creature that had just been skinned alive, and it could only let out a whimper of pain in one breath.

Qi Yan endured the stomach reaction of turning over the river and the sea, and approached slightly.

He found that the monster's bloody flesh was covered with dense black holes, as if the bulging skin had finally burst in the morning, and the object had burst out.

And those little rose-colored creatures that make the sound of water are the rosefish in the seedling state.

In an instant, Qi Zhen confirmed his guess-

Employees who are infected after being injured at the factory mutate into monsters that need to eat human flesh to store energy, and once they "mature", they will give birth to countless rosefish seedlings from their bodies.

In other words, infected workers are treated as petri dishes for rosefish seedlings and sent to the fry department through the infirmary for quarantine and rearing.

So, it is likely that there are countless such monsters in the nursery room.

Mr. Lord sent the punished employees to the nursery, effectively using them as fodder for raising monsters and cultivating fry.

Previously, they deduced that the rosefish may feed on human flesh, which Qi Zhen is not sure, but what is certain is that the "petri dish" of the rosefish needs to eat human flesh to replenish energy, so as to give birth to blood-colored fry.

This would explain why the factory's code only protects employees from monsters, but never tells employees how to avoid being infected, because it is in the factory's interest that management wants more employees to be infected and thus have more fry dishes.

But the employees who were attacked were reduced to fodder, and the value of fodder and petri dish could not be different.

This also explains why factories are afraid of cats, but cats can help employees heal from their wounds.

Because the interests of the factory and the employees are opposed, the cat is on the side of the employees.

Qin Rang was so shocked by the too "bloody aesthetics" picture in front of him that he couldn't speak, he was stunned for half a minute, and finally "vomited" and began to vomit wildly.

The monster lying in the slime bathtub seemed to sense something, and it stopped its staccato whimpering, and asked for help in a muffled voice: "Please, please, please......"

It's the human voice, the human statement.

"Please, help me ......"

After rearing a batch of rose fry, the infected person appears to have temporarily regained consciousness.

He finally remembered that he had once been a human.

The nausea and fear had disappeared from Qi Yan's face, and at this moment he looked at the monster in the bathtub calmly: "How can I help you?" ”

"Help me end this."

He wanted to put an end to all the pain that had happened and might continue to circulate in the future.

Qi Yan nodded at him slightly: "I can try." ”

Deep infections cannot be reversed, and infected people, after regaining consciousness, do not want to continue living as an aggressive petri dish, but for some reason, they are not able to end their lives on their own.

"I'm sorry for you to bear with me." The moment Qi Yan's words fell, a sharp boning knife slashed through the monster's neck, and the monster immediately let out a hoarse whimper, and a steady stream of mucus flowed from the wound, but he didn't breathe.

Instead, the pain is doubled.

Qi Zhen frowned, sure enough, ordinary physical damage couldn't help him end his life?

But there must be other ways.

Qi Yan thought quickly, and suddenly, his eyes turned to the stove that was not on fire.

The light source can attract monsters, but the monsters themselves hate high temperatures, this rule seems contradictory, but it is likely to hide the subconscious needs of monsters-

Monsters can be attracted by fire... The monster wants to put an end to this... Fire!

At the moment when Qi Zhengmao suddenly opened, the system suddenly issued a warning-

[Important Note: Dear Traveler, you are currently completing the "Life of an Uninvited Guest" side quest, and the system has detected that the choice of the current plot point is very important, and your choice will affect the release of the side ending quest, thus affecting the direction of the entire dungeon]

Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you mean helping infected workers end their lives?" ”

The system answers: Yes

【Please choose carefully】

[Do you want to help him get free?] 】

Qi Ji almost didn't hesitate: "Of course." ”

After all, he didn't want the poor monster to continue to lay cubs in his bathroom.

"Qin Rang, do me a favor and rekindle the fire in the stove."

Qin Rang, who was dizzy, wiped his mouth: "Huh? Do you want to catch monsters tonight? ”

Qi Jiu: "No, let's help this poor guest." ”

Qin Rang didn't know what to do, but it was a relief to be able to leave this desperate bathroom, he hurried back to the room to light a fire and a stove, although he was a young master in the real world, but his family education was comprehensive and strict, and he was proficient in a series of wilderness survival skills such as making a fire.

Soon, the stove was blazing, and the two worked together to move the stove to the bathroom.

The firelight instantly illuminated the scarlet bathroom, and the red slime in the bathtub reflected a thin layer of light.

The rosefish seedlings seemed to hate the firelight, and now they struggled and beat more violently in the slime, and the molting monster that had been whimpering finally calmed down, and his bursting eyes grew bigger, and the bloodshot eyes reflected the firelight, and something similar to emotion flashed.

The monster stared intently at the firelight, as if looking at all hope.

The next moment, the dying body suddenly moved, dragging the rotting body out of the slime, and his actions caused countless small, bright splashes.

The slime trickled down the edge of the tub, and the monster finally left the tub, leaving a shocking crawling trail on the white porcelain floor, bright red zigzag towards the blazing stove.

Finally, the monster clung to the red-hot stove, like a last-ditch straw, directing the flames to its rotten skin.

Qin Rang could clearly hear the sizzling sound of hot iron sheets burning on the skin and flesh, and then the smell of burnt meat covered the fishy smell of the house.

Then, the sizzle was completely overwritten, and only the crackling sound of the flames burning violently remained.

And the strange sound of the monster whimpering and laughing.

Qin Rang didn't know when the fire was extinguished, and at the moment when the monster was completely burning, he recited a few words of "Amitabha", and then couldn't help but vomit again.

Qi Yan had been standing quietly by the bathroom door, watching the monster's burning flames until the flames were extinguished and the sound of burning fell silent.

The life of the monster ended in a burn.

Qin Rang glanced at him, and he couldn't see Qi Jiu's expression clearly in the firelight.

"Big guy, now we ......" Qin Rang, who was weak, asked cautiously.

Qi Zhen was silent for a moment: "It can be concluded that the monsters temporarily return to their senses after hatching, and the monsters at this stage can be burned to death, and they expect so." ”

[Dear traveler, since your choice has had a significant impact on the plot of the dungeon, according to your behavioral tendencies, the system has updated your main quest——]

[Please help free all the monsters in the factory and achieve the quest end achievement]

"Finishing achievements?" Qi asked rhetorically.

[This is the highest achievement of a dungeon, usually ......]

The system freezes for a moment [usually only in legends]

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thank you, Teacher System." ”

[This is the result of the combined influence of your dungeon's plot exploration, the opening of existing branches, and the character's behavior selection tendency]

[Please note that the end objective must be completed within the time limit, otherwise it will be automatically invalidated]

[The current replica has been running for three days, and the remaining time limit: 4 days]

"I see, thanks for informing me."
