Chapter 38 Who Am I? 37

His movements were slow and easy to avoid, but he seemed impossible to kill. Despite his sluggish movements, he possessed immense strength. Being pinned down by Patrick Star and unable to reach Lin Xiangjun and Wang Min, he viciously began to tear at Patrick Star.

He didn't have many teeth in his mouth, yet his biting motions were crisp and decisive. His trembling, withered-branch-like hands were like an eagle's talons, gripping Patrick Star's waist, his fingers digging forcefully into Patrick Star's body. His head moved with each bite, and in just a few mouthfuls, he tore a large hole in Patrick Star's body!

Lin Xiangjun was burning with anxiety.

How could she let this old thing torture her employee like this? At this moment, she wished she could chop this old thing into pieces!

But the sharp knife, which had always been effective, had pierced through the security guard's chest, waist, abdomen, and neck. She had even gritted her teeth and forcefully stabbed through the security guard's forehead, piercing his brain, yet he simply would not die!

How could this be? How? Where was his fatal weakness?!

Lin Xiangjun's hands were trembling uncontrollably from overexertion. She stopped her movements and forced herself to calm down.

This is a beginner instance, Lin Xiangjun told herself. In a beginner instance, everyone has a way to survive, or rather, every instance has a method for everyone to survive; it just varies in difficulty.

She already possessed the paper figure and high-level items. Even if her own strength was lacking, relying on these items, she was definitely ranked among the strong in this beginner instance.

If there were five people in the instance, and the clues for clearing it were in five places, then the clues in these five places must be obtainable; even if it was difficult, it couldn't be a dead end.

It is impossible for there to be an unkillable monster in a beginner instance.

Think, Lin Xiangjun, think carefully. Where is his weakness?

This anomaly is the security guard, responsible for containing players who use foul language. He also has another identity: a black trash can.

A black trash can.

There are no black trash cans in the residential complex.

Then he does not belong to the residential complex. The security guard is an outsider, and he is excessively strong. As long as the rules are violated, he is invincible, and even if injured, he can heal infinitely and simply cannot be killed.

With the players' abilities, it is impossible to clean him up.

A flash of inspiration struck, and Lin Xiangjun's eyes suddenly lit up.

She knew it!

Over there, the old man was biting off nearly half of Patrick Star's arm, mouthful by mouthful. His eyes were filled with malice, and his mouth was almost stuffed full of layers of paper.

It tasted terrible!

Just wait. Once he finishes eating this ghostly thing, let's see what tricks those two little girls have left!

Seeing that the monster's arm was already dangling and only needed one last bite to be severed, a glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He opened his mouth wide and was about to bite down—

"Patrick Star! Roll to the side!"

The ghostly thing that had been lying motionless on top of him heard the command, hesitated for a second, and rolled its body half a turn to the left.

Patrick Star's movements were slow, and the old man wasn't much faster. So, as the old man stretched his neck to bite, Patrick Star's body happened to have rolled halfway, and its fingertips slapped the old man right in the face with a "slap."

The old man was stunned by this slap.

Then came a surge of wild joy.

This damn little girl was actually quite soft-hearted, afraid that the monster's arm would really be bitten off, so she made it dodge. Haha, it was as if even the heavens wanted him to have a full meal!

"Wang Min, pull Patrick Star and retreat to the side!"

Patrick Star could not continue to be injured, and Wang Min herself couldn't help much. Lin Xiangjun still had a layer of chocolate shell on her; this thing was almost invincible within ten minutes, and the wrist area where the old man had grabbed it was now also well covered.

Lin Xiangjun took a deep breath. This time, when the old man stood up, she did not choose to attack actively, but instead shouted loudly: "Cleaner! I have some trash here that I can't dispose of!"

The eerie, sinister smile on the old man's face suddenly froze.

This damn little girl!

"Are you the one who needs a Cleaner?"

Two overlapping voices came from behind her again.

Lin Xiangjun was currently facing the old man. If she turned around, she would be exposing her back to him, which was basically equivalent to seeking death.

But she had no other choice.

Lin Xiangjun turned around abruptly.

There were still two men, identical in clothing, height, and appearance, wearing yellow vests and green shoes, holding a dustpan in their left hands and a broom in their right hands.

Behind her, heavy breathing was getting closer. Lin Xiangjun suppressed her instinctive urge to turn around and focused her gaze on the two Cleaners.

It was not night time now, so using a Flashlight to shine on their shoes was no longer a way to distinguish them. Moreover, both of them were wearing camouflage green shoes today; clearly, the difference between today and yesterday was no longer the same.

The old man's cold, powerful, withered-branch-like palm had already grabbed Lin Xiangjun's arm. Goosebumps rose all over her body, and the familiar feeling of being controlled surged up again.

Lin Xiangjun tried hard to ignore the foul-smelling, rotting breath that was gradually approaching from behind, and she strained to distinguish any differences in the two men's clothing.

Yellow vest, no difference; green shoes, no difference...

The old man's deep breathing was already against her neck, and then he bit down hard!

"Pop!"

The chocolate shell shattered, and the old man's mouth was filled with chocolate crumbs.

He viciously and forcefully tugged at Lin Xiangjun's arm, but no matter how the security guard grabbed, he could only grab the chocolate shell on her arm, ending up with a handful of chocolate crumbs himself.

However, this item was not invincible. Lin Xiangjun could feel the chocolate shell on her body getting thinner and thinner, until it was so thin that she could feel the old man's cold hand gripping her arm.

The old man gradually went crazy, scratching frantically with his hands and biting wildly at Lin Xiangjun's neck.

What should she do?

Being controlled, Lin Xiangjun was unable to use any items. Her eyes darted frantically between the two, trying to discern any slight difference!

"Pop!"

The last layer of the chocolate shell shattered, and the system notification sound and Lin Xiangjun's shout rang out at the same time.

"Item [Jin Baogui's Chocolate Candy] has expired."

"Right! The one on the right with maggots on the broom is the real Cleaner!!!"

Lin Xiangjun almost screamed until her voice broke.

The Cleaner on the right took a step forward unhurriedly.

The security guard's mouth stopped one centimeter from the back of Lin Xiangjun's neck. Without the chocolate shell, his saliva had already dripped onto Lin Xiangjun's neck.

However, this one-centimeter distance was like a chasm he would never be able to cross again in his life.

The Cleaner raised the broom and tapped it lightly on his head, then swept it backward casually.

The security guard, who had seemed indestructible and invincible just a moment ago, suddenly collapsed under this force, which felt as light as cleaning up dust, and flowed down from Lin Xiangjun's body like water.

The Cleaner swept a few more times, and that black liquid, wrapped in chocolate crumbs and pale pink paper scraps, consciously flowed toward the Cleaner's trash can, eventually flowing into it without spilling a drop.

Something fell from Lin Xiangjun's back.

Lin Xiangjun reached behind her and grabbed, catching a pair of hands.
