Led by Bai Shuang, the group walked along the street.
Beside them were the city's residents, whose eyes were lifeless, faces expressionless, and who walked with ghostly stillness.
They were all soulless zombies, and the whole city was full of people like that.
Seeing this eerie scene, everyone was very careful, not daring to speak or look around, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
City residents would occasionally brush past them. At first, a few of them were a little nervous, but after getting used to it, they gradually relaxed.
After observing for so long, they concluded that these residents were not very intelligent and could be easily fooled as long as they acted naturally.
As long as the residents here perceive you as one of them, you will not be in any danger in this city.
After gradually getting used to it, everyone felt almost no tension anymore, and they all understood why it was considered a very fun Instance.
Unfortunately, there was a terrifying woman in their group.
If it weren't for this woman, they could have had a lot of fun in this Instance.
Although it was her first time here, Bai Shuang already had the city map memorized clearly in her mind.
She can find it anywhere instantly.
The location of the Instance boss was, of course, also in her mind.
She understood that to clear this Instance and break through the final Formation Eye to the formation, she had to kill the Instance's boss and obtain his blood.
This is the key to breaking through the last Formation Eye.
This wasn't a difficult task for her.
The boss itself isn't particularly strong; the reason other teams failed to clear it is mainly because the boss can summon the city's residents.
Although these residents are mindless zombies, their sheer number makes them an absolutely terrifying force when gathered together.
They can easily defeat the BOSS, but they can't deal with the surging tide of residents at the same time.
However, this problem is not unsolvable. As long as there is an Ability User to create a Boundary System, the people inside can be cut off from the outside world.
In this way, the BOSS will be unable to summon the residents outside.
As long as there is a Boundary System Ability User here, the BOSS becomes useless.
Although she is not a Boundary System Ability User, she has other ways to do this.
She had made many preparations for this Instance, and now she was getting closer and closer to her goal.
By completing the task, she will have the opportunity to make a pact with the gods.
To wield the power of the gods is an incredibly tempting prospect.
No one can resist this temptation.
As they continued forward, the number of people around them gradually decreased, and they turned left again, ending up on a deserted path.
Once they arrived, everyone completely relaxed. Now that the citizen was gone, they no longer needed to pretend.
You can do whatever you want.
An Qian looked at Bai Shuang and asked, "Miss Bai, where are we going? How much further? Is there anything we should be careful about?"
Bai Shuang glanced at them and said, "Let's go find the BOSS here."
He's the key to destroying the last Formation Eye, but he's not very strong. Just be careful not to attract the attention of the residents here and get us surrounded.
Everyone nodded to indicate that they understood.
They all knew very well that if they accidentally dragged Bai Shuang down, they would probably be beaten to death.
But those who tried to leave the group and go solo also ended up in equally dire straits.
They had only one choice: to obey this woman and do their best to complete the tasks she assigned.
Although they were very unhappy about it, they had no choice but to accept it now.
Bai Shuang glanced ahead and said, "We're almost there. The house ahead is the BOSS's residence."
Looking ahead, everyone saw a green belt with many trees, and some villas could be seen hidden among them.
Bai Shuang was pointing to a villa in front of them; that was the BOSS's residence.
Bai Shuang looked at An Qian and said, "You stay here and keep an eye on the surroundings. If any residents approach, signal us immediately."
"Okay," An Qian agreed.
Bai Shuang gave him a string of helium balloons, which she had bought from the resident she had just met.
If anything unusual happens, An Qian uses these balloons to notify them.
Bai Shuang glanced at the other three men and said, "Come with me, we're going to kill the Instance boss."
We only have one chance; if we fail, we will never have another.
If we fail even once, and we encounter these villagers again, no matter how well we pretend, they will still hunt us down.
Therefore, it must be successful on the first try.
After hearing Bai Shuang's words, everyone perked up.
They knew that if things went smoothly, all would be well, but if things failed because of them, Bai Shuang would definitely not let them off easily.
"This BOSS, like the residents here, has a fixed pattern of behavior and is not difficult to deal with."
It should be his mealtime now; he should be at the restaurant.
Bai Shuang drew a floor plan of the house and marked the location of the BOSS.
She explained the plan to everyone, assigned tasks to each person, and the group began to take action.
They approached the villa cautiously, without making a sound.
Yang Hua is Control-type Ability User. He was assigned to pick locks, and he can use his mental power to open locks without touching the doors.
The lock was opened successfully without making a sound, which shows that Yang Hua's skills are really good.
The group carefully pushed open the door and entered the room, then hurriedly rushed towards the dining area.
According to their intelligence, the BOSS is currently inside the restaurant.
However, upon entering the restaurant, the group was dumbfounded, as it was completely empty.
The three of them looked at Bai Shuang, their eyes seeming to say, "This isn't our fault. We did exactly as you said, without making a single mistake."
Bai Shuang knew, of course, that although she was controlling, she wasn't the type to stubbornly refuse to admit her mistakes.
The fact that we didn't see the BOSS can only mean that their intelligence was wrong.
"Go upstairs, he should be in his bedroom upstairs now!"
Everyone rushed upstairs, with Bai Shuang still at the front, heading straight into the BOSS's room.
This time she was right; there was indeed someone in the room, sitting in a chair with their back to her, looking out the window.
This must be the Instance boss. Bai Shuang was quite excited. Although there had been a small hiccup, she was now very close to success.
This brought a surge of joy to her, even though she was usually calm.
If she kills this boss, she will have a chance to complete the Instance and become Contractor.
Now, we're just one small step away!
