Bai Shuang immediately took out the item she had prepared from her inventory.
An invisible barrier rose up, enveloping them all within it.
This is an item that Bai Shuang prepared for this mission. It can generate an indestructible barrier that lasts for 3 hours.
Three hours is more than enough time for them to kill the boss in front of them.
That is beyond doubt.
"Let's do it now!" Bai Shuang shouted immediately, a hint of joy already in her eyes.
Her barrier can isolate her from all contact with the outside world.
In this way, the BOSS will not be able to summon those residents, and even if it could, those residents would not be able to enter the barrier.
The BOSS itself is quite weak; facing four Ability Users, it has no chance of surviving.
Just as the four were about to launch their attack, Li Qu suddenly shouted in great shock,
"No, he, he's not the BOSS, he's..."
Li Qu's words also brought Bai Shuang to her senses. She looked at the corpse, and felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
She was so overjoyed that she didn't notice this obvious problem.
The person in front of me is not the Instance boss, but someone who shouldn't be here.
This person was Ma Rui, the one who was killed by Bai Shuang as soon as he entered the Instance.
Upon suddenly seeing the corpse, even the usually composed Bai Shuang found it hard to believe.
She was certain that she had killed this person, and that she had done so in front of everyone.
Everyone can testify that Ma Rui is dead.
But now Ma Rui has appeared at the BOSS's house.
What happened? Did the residents bring him here?
But why would they do that? It makes absolutely no sense.
But everyone had no choice but to accept this fact.
The person in front of me isn't the boss, but a dead man.
Fortunately, Ma Rui appeared here as a dead person; otherwise, it would have been too horrifying for them.
Bai Shuang stepped forward, looking at the person she had killed, and felt a chill run down her spine.
The fact that Ma Rui's body was found in the BOSS's house is highly unusual.
She felt as if the Instance boss had done this on purpose.
However, the Instance boss is just a mindless zombie; how could he do such a thing? It doesn't make any sense.
For a moment, she couldn't reach a definitive conclusion, but it was definitely not a good sign.
The bodies of the people she had killed reappeared before her eyes, likely targeted at her.
Search! Search this entire area!
The group didn't dare to delay and immediately searched the areas they hadn't checked before, but they couldn't find any clues about the BOSS even after searching the entire area covered by the barrier.
The boss doesn't seem to be here at all!
"Miss Bai, what do we do now?" Li Qu asked cautiously, looking at Bai Shuang's extremely pale face.
"Or maybe we should give up on this Instance for now, since we can't even find the boss."
I still suggest we wait until tomorrow during the day, after the teleportation point appears, before exploring the Instance. Then we can decide whether to proceed or retreat.
Strange things are happening in the Instance now. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely accept Li Qu's advice.
Because what Li Qu said makes a lot of sense.
Bai Shuang is not an ordinary person; you could even say she is not a normal person.
Therefore, she resolutely rejected Li Qu's suggestion.
"But, Miss Bai, I can't even find the Instance boss right now, how can I possibly clear the Instance? Or..."
"Stop talking nonsense, my mind is made up."
Three of the four Formation Eye have already been destroyed, and the remaining one is also unable to hold on alone. Even if we do nothing, the fourth Formation Eye will be destroyed anyway.
So even if we really can't find this boss, it's not like we have no way out.
But no one could do anything about it; they couldn't change Bai Shuang's choice.
At that moment, Chen Zhi suddenly exclaimed, "Look, he seems to have moved!"
Everyone looked at the corpse.
The corpse's posture was slightly different from before. Although they didn't see the corpse move, they were certain that Chen Zhi wasn't lying.
The body did move.
The group discovered that Ma Rui's body had been almost completely hollowed out, with strange holes all over his skin.
Inside those holes, insects kept trying to crawl out.
"Stay away from the corpse!" Bai Shuang warned.
The group quickly retreated.
Those insects were clearly not to be trifled with; they didn't want to end up like Ma Rui, so it was better to keep their distance.
But the corpse sitting in the chair suddenly moved.
Ma Rui stood up abruptly and lunged towards the crowd.
The expressions on their faces changed. It wasn't that they hadn't seen similar situations before, but Ma Rui's body was full of those kinds of worms.
They were afraid the insects would enter their bodies.
"It seems that dying only once is not enough for you!" Bai Shuang was furious when she saw this.
The fact that they couldn't find the Instance boss was already frustrating enough.
The corpses of the people she killed were still causing trouble, and of course she couldn't tolerate it.
With a thought from Bai Shuang, Ma Rui's body was immediately blasted away by an invisible force.
She possesses the power of the Defense Type, and her mental strength is very strong, making it entirely possible for her to control a corpse.
Her spiritual power enveloped Ma Rui's corpse, slamming it heavily to the ground. Then she had others set a fire, burning the body.
The flames grew larger and larger, almost burning the entire house down.
Seeing this, Bai Shuang coldly said, "Let's go!"
If they don't leave now, they'll be burned to death.
After leaving, Bai Shuang led them to the roof of a building, where they hid and could secretly watch what was happening outside.
Soon, a group of residents were drawn to the flames, and they stood there, surrounding the area.
They didn't leave until the flames died down.
"Let's go," Bai Shuang said as she went downstairs, and the others had no choice but to follow her.
Li Qu said softly, "Miss Bai, I think we should really consider my suggestion."
Bai Shuang flatly refused, saying, "I can't possibly consider your suggestion, so stop talking. I don't have a very good temper."
Li Qu had no choice but to give up.
It seems that becoming Contractor is indeed a huge attraction, Bai Shuang will spare no effort to complete this task.
At this moment, Chen Zhi suddenly let out a painful cry. He fell to the ground, his body twisting and turning, feeling an unbearable itch.
Chen Zhi frantically scratched at himself, almost tearing his skin to shreds.
A look of fear appeared in everyone's eyes; they increasingly felt that Chen Zhi's experience was the same as Ma Rui's.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Shuang.
Chen Zhi temporarily suppressed the intense itching, looked at Bai Shuang, and pleaded, "Miss Bai, I... what have I done to deserve this?"
Bai Shuang's face was grim, because she hadn't done it at all.
Although she killed Ma Rui, the insects on Chen Zhi's body had nothing to do with her.
She had absolutely no reason to do that.
If she didn't do it, then who did?
She suddenly felt that there seemed to be a powerful force behind them, a force targeting them.
