Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 43

decisive battle (1)

The moment Jiang Lingyi couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to fall, many strong arms or shoulders supported him from all directions.

“Store manager…!”

“Store manager, are you okay?!”

“The store manager is dead! Wuwuwuwu!”

“Why are you panicking? Don’t scream!” Brother Bandage scolded, reaching out to touch Jiang Lingyi’s breath, “…there’s still energy.”

“…Why do you look a little regretful?” Hidden Fox Fairy complained.

“She must be overworked.” The Ripper Woman was a little worried, “The store manager has been staying up late almost every day this week. It’s really reached his limit.”

Everyone hurriedly carried him to the sofa in the lobby of the store, covered him with a blanket, and made sure that he was indeed fine, so they felt relieved a little.

Jiang Lingyi came to the familiar subway station again in her dream. A silver-green giant snake was entangled in the center, but it looked even more lethargic than last time. Her head hung on the ground, motionless.

He walked up to the snake’s head and stroked it gently.He felt the temperature and his pupils opened a slit.

“Sorry, I can’t help you with anything…”

Jiang Lingyi sat next to him.

“It doesn’t matter, you have the right to be as coquettish as you like to me.”

“Actually… I am very happy to have someone that I will risk everything to protect. Although you are a great evil spirit, many times more powerful than me, a man’s desire to protect his lover has nothing to do with the disparity in power.”

“Haha, this is the first time someone said they want to protect me… I’m very happy too.”

With a clang, something fell to his hand.

Jiang Lingyi picked it up and saw that it was a silver-green scale, about the size of a shell, with beautiful pearlescent light flowing around it.

“Please accept it. As long as I have these scales, I can find you no matter where you are.”

The giant snake resisted its instinctive urge to devour its lover and only touched him lightly with its snout.

Jiang Lingyi put the scales close to her body, slid them down a little, lay on the warm body, and slowly closed her eyes.

When he woke up, it was already the evening of the next day.

According to the plan, the employees will use the moment when Luo Su lands on the earth to expand the gap in time and space, and use part of his power to send Pang Mei back to his original place. This will ensure the minimum consumption and use all the magic power to deal with the battle.

The way he came must be through the curse on Jiang Lingyi, which was attached to him, so that his location could be confirmed and controlled.

Therefore, while Jiang Lingyi was asleep, the employees arranged layers of formations in the secret room, some of which were used to trap him; some of which could directly attack Luo Su’s spirit body without harming Jiang Lingyi’s body and force him out of the host; others were enchantment spells to ensure that all conflicts occurred within the illusory realm and would not affect the outside world, and so on.

Jiang Lingyi was eating the hamburgers bought from KFC downstairs while watching them busy around, closing the sliding door of the store early, and all of them had solemn expressions. He could clearly feel that after the parade, their bodies seemed to be bigger and their auras were stronger than before. This was undoubtedly a sign of increased strength.

“Store manager, please go to the formation to make preparations.” The Ripper came to him.

Under the worried expressions of the wandering souls, Jiang Lingyi entered the “battlefield” agreed with everyone in advance, a copy of “The Secret of Love”.

The reason why I chose this place is because it is an indoor map constructed in a hotel. It has a complex structure and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has a geographical advantage for employees who are familiar with the terrain.

Around 8:30 p.m.

“Buzz————!!!”

There was an earthquake-like vibration in the secret room, the lights flickered violently, and a crack was torn out of thin air in the hotel lobby. A low hum came from the depths of the crack, accompanied by the sound of rustling crawling and the sound of some kind of sticky substance squirming and flowing.

“It’s coming! Everyone be alert!”

The three leaders of the sales team, actor team and logistics team acted as battle commanders and warned everyone through the headsets.

Dozens of grotesque monsters gushed out from the cracks like vomiting. Some looked like skinned beasts, with dark green venom dripping from their sharp teeth. Some lay on the ground. At first glance, they looked like big worms or shrimps. After a closer look, they realized that their limbs were spliced ​​into a centipede-like slender torso, with insect-like tentacles sticking out to sniff around. Some were like mud-like slimes, with no facial features or shapes, but their movements were extremely fast.

It was so disgusting that Jiang Lingyi didn’t want to take a closer look. In comparison, all of his employees were as beautiful as gods.

As soon as they landed, they rushed towards Jiang Lingyi with the same goal.

“Activate the defensive formation and execute the first phase of the battle plan!” Brother Bandage calmly ordered.

The floor and walls of the lobby lit up with formations that had been arranged in advance, forming a translucent shield that covered Jiang Lingyi. Several monsters rushing at the front collided with the shield. Jiang Lingyi felt the shield shake inside, just like the transparent ball rides in the movie “Jurassic Park”, but the monsters playing with this ball were much scarier than the dinosaurs.

They hit the wall and were bruised, but they still kept going.

All thirty-two demon employees who had been ambushing everywhere were dispatched to fight with the alien monsters that descended on the earth.

Needless to say, the best partners are Feitou Man and the Puppet Master, the Big Octopus and the Ghost Bride. Black and White Impermanence usually always quarrel with each other, but at this moment they work together seamlessly, like two whirlwinds entering the battlefield, causing a bloody storm.

However, the defensive cover was not indestructible under such a dense raindrop attack, and it was almost shattered soon.

“Roar——!!”

A smaller skinned beast roared and rushed toward Jiang Lingyi’s face.

He sided to avoid the sharp claws, holding in his hand a special short knife that the Ripper gave to him in advance. Without hesitation, he stabbed the knife into its soft side with his backhand. The smelly liquid splashed out, and the monster wailed and dissipated into black smoke.

He wiped the stains on his face and continued to rush towards the next formation launch location. He also defeated several monsters on the way and finally arrived at the largest presidential suite.

Thanks to the careful preparations and the energy accumulated from the parade, the first wave of monsters was quickly cleared away. There were also support staff in the corridor. Although there was consumption, no one was seriously injured, and the large barrier was basically intact.

As soon as Jiang Lingyi entered the suite, he felt a pain in his waist that was so hot that it seemed to burn him through. He groaned, knelt on one knee on the ground, and took off his dagger with a clang.

A will that was as cold as ice and full of endless resentment, like a flood that broke a dam, arbitrarily washed away the strength of his consciousness and instantly drowned his thinking.

“Uh-huh-!!!”

Jiang Lingyi let out a roar that didn’t sound like a human voice, and her body trembled violently.

His eyes suddenly opened, and the whites in his pupils had been dyed pitch black. Luo Su’s twisted expression appeared on his face. Every inch of his skin from head to toe was covered with living curse lines, and blue-black blood vessels bulged ferociously, as if some kind of poisonous insect was spreading under his skin.

“Activate the binding formation and execute the second phase of the battle plan!” the Ripper woman ordered, and then added, “Be careful not to hurt the store manager!”

“Jiang Lingyi”, who was possessed by Luo Su’s resentful spirit, stood up unsteadily, looked down at his trembling hands with exposed veins, and burst into crazy laughter.

“Haha…hahaha! This body…is finally mine!!!”

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the employees who were surrounded by enemies. His eyes finally fell on the short knife on the ground. He immediately picked it up, turned the tip of the knife, and stabbed his heart fiercely!

All this is just between lightning and flint.

He wanted to repeat the scene in the apartment that morning in front of everyone and use Jiang Lingyi’s body to commit suicide!

“Store manager——!” everyone exclaimed.

Just when the tip of the knife is about to touch the skin——

Buzz!

Jiang Lingyi’s body surface suddenly lit up with a soft shimmer. This light seemed to be woven from countless small spells, forming a personal shield that firmly resisted the blade.

This was the last line of defense insurance built in Jiang Lingyi’s body when the employees each contributed part of their strength when the formation was disconnected.

“What?! You ants… how dare you—!”

Luo Su found that he could not move at all, and then he noticed the restraint array on the roof. He became more and more furious and used his strength crazily. Black resentment enveloped his whole body, exuding terrifying pressure.

“Now, attack the spirit body! Force him out!”

Pang Mei shouted, he had raised his arms high, lightning and thunder gathered in his palms.

“Thunder and Lightning——Imperial Law!!”

At the same time, other employees also launched attack spells, and countless impacts hit Jiang Lingyi from all directions!

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Luo Su let out a scream of pain. Although these attacks were weakened in order not to harm Jiang Lingyi’s physical body, when concentrated, the damage to the resentful spirit in his state was still huge, not to mention that there were also imperial laws that conflicted with evil laws.

His control over Jiang Lingyi’s body became unstable, and Jiang Lingyi’s own consciousness, stimulated by protective spells and external attacks, struggled violently and fought back.

“Get…out…!”

Jiang Lingyi squeezed out sounds from his throat intermittently.

“Don’t even think about it!! I will support you even if I die!!”

“Don’t ever think about being with Lou Xian!!!!”

Luo Su was almost at the end of his strength, and burst out with even more intense black mist-like resentment, instantly engulfing the entire room and the corridor on the entire floor. All attacks were softly absorbed by it and disappeared.

At this critical moment of stalemate, Jiang Lingyi’s eyes flashed with determination.

He used all his willpower to temporarily regain control of his vocal cords and shouted to Pang Mei and all the employees:

“Stop…stop attacking——!!!”

Everyone was stunned.

“Just, just… keep him… in my body!”

Jiang Lingyi was sweating like rain, and his facial features were distorted by extreme pain.

“Pangmei, I’ll take him…and, with you…through the crack-!”

“Are you crazy?!” Pang Mei shouted, “You can’t adapt to the air over there at all. If you go there, you will die!”

“No time!!” Jiang Lingyi felt that Luo Su was occupying his consciousness, “Hurry up!!!”

He began to take the initiative to restrain his resistance, and even accepted Luo Su’s resentment, trying to forcibly lock the spreading resentment in his body. This was tantamount to setting himself on fire. The violent tearing feeling made him almost faint, but he gritted his teeth.

“Pangmei——!!!”

Pang Mei looked at Jiang Lingyi’s determined eyes, then glanced at the shrinking space-time rift in the lobby below, and stamped her foot fiercely: “It’s hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with good intentions! I don’t care anymore!!”

He made a hand seal and recited a complex incantation, directing all the energy in the formation to be injected into the cracks.

“The name of Thunder Prison guides the way home——”

The crack vibrated violently, constantly changing its shape, and finally turned into a large bottomless hole. The sound of howling wind and strong spatial turbulence constantly came from the hole.

“Let’s go!” Pang Mei pulled Jiang Lingyi out of the black mist, jumped off the guardrail of the corridor with him, and fell vertically into the hole.
