Chapter 57 instance error, forced return!
Chapter 57 instance error, forced return!
Li Ting's face was contorted, her eyes burning with a frenzied rage.
She never imagined that she, a dignified level 3 advanced player, would be defeated by a group of novices and end up being wiped out by the system.
"Damn it...damn it!" She stared intently at Su Jinjin, feeling utterly incredulous.
This lucky person actually has an appraisal skill.
Li Ting felt envy, jealousy, and now even hatred.
Because everything from now on has nothing to do with her.
The system's countdown echoed coldly in her mind: [Violation Warning: Elimination procedure to be executed in 10 seconds...9...8...7...]
I heard the system countdown.
Li Ting suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, looking at Su Jinjin, Zhou Zheng, and the others, a resolute ruthlessness flashing in her eyes: "Since I can't live... then you won't have an easy time either!"
She suddenly turned to Cheng Cheng and Cheng Chi, shouting hysterically, "Haven't you always wanted to know our identities? Let me tell you, the world you're in is just a game instance! And we are the players here to play the game! Hahahaha! You're just NPCs at best! What do I care if you live or die?"
These words exploded like a bomb in the crowd.
Cheng Chi's face turned deathly pale instantly, Cheng Cheng covered her mouth in horror, and the other survivors also showed expressions of disbelief.
Is their world actually a game?
Su Jinjin didn't think of all this as a game; she thought it was just a parallel world that had experienced an apocalypse.
After all, their Blue Star world might also become a dungeon for players.
Now we hear Li Ting shouting without any restraint.
Zhou Zheng was completely stunned.
Zhang Hao, the blond-haired man, suddenly felt like his head was about to explode. His danger premonition warned him that death was imminent.
Su Jinjin felt a chill run through her body, a strong sense of foreboding washing over her.
Li Ting is determined to take everyone down with her!
The system strictly prohibits players from revealing their identity information to the native inhabitants; the consequences of such violations are...
Sure enough, the next second...
The system voice sounded in my mind.
[WARNING! Player violation detected! Revealing player identity to native residents!]
[Ding! Punishment program activated for all players!]
The cold, impersonal system notification exploded in the minds of all players.
At this moment, not only Su Jinjin, Zhou Zheng, and Zhang Hao's expressions changed drastically.
All players in the "Insect Plague" event received this system message.
"No...impossible!" Zhang Hao slumped to the ground, his face ashen. "I didn't do anything! Why am I being punished too?"
Zhou Zheng quickly calmed down, gripped his weapon tightly, and warily looked around: "Prepare for battle! System punishment might very well trigger..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire building suddenly began to shake violently.
The ceiling began to collapse, and countless cracks appeared in the walls. Even more terrifying was...
Countless black insects, each the size of a fist, were surging out of the crevices, their carapaces gleaming with a metallic sheen.
[Punishment Details: Swarm of insects to hunt you down!]
[All insects are locked onto the player]
Duration: 24 hours
Upon seeing this punishment, all the players turned pale.
Being chased by all the bugs in the dungeon!
What's the difference between this and a direct death sentence?
Players cannot fight all the time.
"Run!" Su Jinjin ordered decisively, "Everyone, evacuate from here immediately!"
Cheng Chi reacted quickly and directed the survivors to retreat to the emergency exit.
But it was too late; swarms of insects were pouring in from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the entire floor.
Li Ting stood in the center of the swarm of insects, her body beginning to become transparent.
This is a precursor to system erasure.
But her face twisted with glee: "Hahaha... Let's die together!"
"Even if I, a level 3 player, die, I can drag an entire world's worth of players down with me... Hahaha... Your world is doomed!"
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Her body was like shattered glass, disintegrating inch by inch from her fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the air.
"She...she disappeared?" Cheng Cheng asked, trembling.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone die like this.
No, she was receiving too much information, which made her feel somewhat overwhelmed.
Su Jinjin didn't have time to explain, because something even more terrible happened.
The insects seemed to have been stimulated in some way; their bodies were expanding at a visible rate, and they were becoming even more ferocious!
"Is this the punishment for revealing a player's identity in a dungeon? That's terrifying!"
Su Jinjin gritted her teeth and said, "Now they have an irreconcilable hatred for all players!"
At this moment, Su Jinjin no longer thought about Zhou Zheng, nor about Cheng Chi and his sister.
They were only thinking about how to survive this crisis.
Zhang Hao jumped onto Zhou Zheng, crying and shouting, "Brother Zhou, you have to save me! I'll do anything you say!"
Zhou Zheng: "Isn't it a bit too late to say this now?"
Just as Su Jinjin and Zhou Zheng were worrying, the system's voice rang in their ears again.
[Ding! Detection has confirmed that the player who leaked the information is not a Blue Star player. Penalty suspended!]
[Ding! Warning: The "Crazy Insect Plague" instance has been compromised by a high-level player who has seriously violated regulations. The system has forcibly terminated this "Crazy Insect Plague" game!]
[Ding! The offending player has been removed]
[Ding! Starting to fix instance anomalies]
[Ding! The dungeon "The Plague of Insects" has ended, and the system has forced the player to return!]
[Ding! Player quests are being processed!]
A series of system prompts.
Su Jinjin and the others vanished instantly before Cheng Cheng and Cheng Chi's eyes.
The swarm of insects outside also stopped instantly.
The whole world seemed to be frozen in time.
After Su Jinjin and the other players left.
The system notification sounded again for the Plague of Insects instance.
[Ding! Uncontrollable factors detected. The Level 1 dungeon, "Crazy Insect Plague," has advanced to the Level 2 dungeon, "Crazy Insect Plague," with increased survival difficulty!]
However, no one heard the system's notification.
It seems that Cheng Cheng and her brother have forgotten something?
It was as if something very important had just happened.
Cheng Cheng looked around blankly: "Brother... what just happened? I feel like I've forgotten something important..."
Cheng Chi frowned, equally puzzled: "Strange, why are we standing here? Weren't we just reinforcing our defenses?"
The two looked at each other and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.
Those memories of "players" and "dungeons" are being silently erased by the system...
But a voice in Cheng Chi's mind told him, "Plants have great wisdom; can we use plants to deal with insects?"
"What's going on? I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things?"
Cheng Chi was puzzled.
Cheng Cheng also looked completely bewildered.
On the other side...
At this moment, Su Jinjin was surrounded by darkness, only able to hear the system's settlement notification.
