"No!"
A few of his teammates looked at their old comrades, their eyes filled with intense sorrow and pain.
And … a trace of lingering fear.
It turned out that during the previous exploration, that team member had been targeted by the Sly, skinned, and replaced the other's identity, and had been hiding among them!
If this situation continued, not only would it bring huge casualties to the team, it might even affect the entire foundation!
"Normal people, retreat, protect our Arcane Trickster!"
Although Yu Ku was grieving, he could still issue orders according to his tactical knowledge.
All members immediately retreated and formed an encirclement.
Luo Su stepped forward, looked at the rationality testing stone on his wrist, and prepared to use Crafty Approach.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble!"
The next moment, he saw Chung Shen-soo wave the big black umbrella, directly nailing a deep silhouette to the ground.
Chung Shen-soo smiled at them and gestured for them to be quiet.
"Shh … look? What did I find? This is a lone Sly! We can try to capture it … "
"This Sly is rich in nutrients, we can even eat it after skinning it …"
As he spoke, he scratched the back of the silhouette with the tip of the umbrella, as if really cutting through the layer of skin, and took out firefly-like light spots.
"Hmm, crunchy texture, 100 times more protein than beef …"
Chung Shen-soo took out a napkin and elegantly wiped his mouth. "Thank you for your hospitality, thank you very much …"
At this moment, Luo Su and Yu Ku felt a little confused.
Immediately, they developed a strong fear of the person who ate the Sly …
Humans would always be afraid of the unknown.
And this Sly was not like a human at all!
Compared to the Skinning Sly, it was more like a terrifying thing wearing a layer of human skin!
…
At the bus stop.
"Brother Puppet, are you okay …"
Wan Xiaolou saw Chung Shen-soo walking over and immediately asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm quite happy. After eating, someone even took the initiative to send dessert over …"
Chung Shen-soo was still leaning on the big black umbrella, even feeling a little unsatisfied.
Beside him, Angel's expression was pale.
Just now, she had received the order from the Highest Council of the Foundation.
This matter had already been classified as an S-class top secret. Everyone who saw it had to keep their mouths sealed — this was not a matter of signing a confidentiality agreement. Instead, they had to be sent to the headquarters and combined with hypnosis and all kinds of crafty techniques to ensure that the secret would not be leaked.
And its codename was — "The Sly Eater"!
"Then … goodbye. I wish you a happy life in the future … although, that's not very likely."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand and sat in the extended black car given to him by the foundation.
"Why do I feel that … this sentence is very meaningful." Wen Wanqing suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
"Mister Gui Yi is truly wishing you all well. Unfortunately, after experiencing that strange incident, some of your views have been completely changed, and it will be very easy for you all to encounter similar incidents in the future …"
Angel explained, "Next, please follow me to a place to finish the work … Of course, my suggestion for you is to become an employee of our foundation. This way, you won't have your memories erased, and at the same time, you can obtain a certain amount of protection …"
Many ordinary people, as long as they had the ability, would basically be accepted as peripheral members by the foundation.
Otherwise, many of them would meet with misfortune in the future …
…
The extended black car stopped in front of the building where the express delivery company was located. Then, it left as though it was fleeing for its life.
Chung Shen-soo walked into the building and saw that a considerable number of people were waiting in the lobby.
Seeing him, all of them became excited. "Mister Gui, I heard that you are leaving?"
"What should we do?"
"Mister Gui, please save us!"
…
Chu He decided to keep the information regarding the foundation a secret. After all, it was an organization that was powerless against the current situation. Even if he told the people on the other floors about it, it would not be of much use.
In fact, it might even give rise to some ideas that they should not have.
In the end, it was due to his own selfishness.
Be it the secret of the Sly Eater or the contents of the foundation, they were all for the sake of the wealth of the 13th floor. It could increase their chances of escaping this building!
Why should he share it with others?
"Let me correct you. I am not resigning. I am taking a paid leave."
There was a smile on Chung Shen-soo's face. "Additionally … this cannot be changed! Are you trying to stop me from taking a leave? "
When the others thought of what he had done before, they immediately became silent out of fear.
"However … before I leave, the canteen will still be open for business one last time."
At the end, Chung Shen-soo added, "So … hurry up and raise the money. I will sell them out this time … Han Bingjie, you guys come with me."
He pointed at the people on the 13th floor and entered the guard room.
Seeing this, the people on the other floors could not help but reveal expressions of deep envy and jealousy …
…
In the guard room.
This was Han Bingjie's first time here. He was immediately stunned by the magnificent palace. "Brother Puppet … compared to you, even the manager's luxurious villa is like a doghouse."
Everyone else in the company was struggling on the line between life and death, but Brother Puppet was here on vacation.
No wonder he was unwilling to leave.
If it were him, he would not want to leave either!
"This way."
Chung Shen-soo opened the door to a room. Inside was a shelf filled with all sorts of spiritual items.
"On account of our previous friendship, I will let you choose these first."
With a smile on his face, he tossed a piece of skin to Han Bingjie.
"Brother Puppet, what is this?"
Han Bingjie caught it in a hurry. He was a little suspicious.
"This is a piece of skin. It was peeled from a Specter!"
The corners of Chung Shen-soo's mouth curled up. Seeing Han Bingjie's creepy expression, he continued, "After I tanned it, it became a spiritual item that can be used repeatedly. As long as you wear it, you will be treated as a Specter … Specters usually do not attack their own kind, and its aura also has a certain dispelling effect."
Han Bingjie was instantly overjoyed. This was a life-saving talisman that could be used repeatedly.
It was much better than those one-time dispelling items.
As expected, he saw Murong Hong and Yue Shan's extremely envious gazes.
"However, it also has a weakness. It can't be worn for too long, and it can't be used too many times … Otherwise, it can't be taken off. It will truly fuse with you and become your skin … Then, it will continuously revive and corrode you, turning you into a Specter!"
Chung Shen-soo continued to list out the weaknesses, causing Han Bingjie to show a conflicted expression.
Using the power of a Specter with a human body would always pay a price.
…
The next day.
At the entrance of the building.
Han Bingjie and the others stood in a row to send off Chung Shen-soo on his trip.
What was different from before was that each of them seemed to have changed a little.
Among them, the one who changed the most was Chu He.
This wise man was already wearing a white eyepatch. Unlike those pirate captains, he looked more like … a sick two-dimensional monster?
