Why Is It Always You?!

Why Is It Always You?!

The moment Luo Jun spoke to the front desk, he sensed killing intent so tangible it felt real!

It was actually guaranteed to fail!

There was no way he could check out normally. That was what the dice had been trying to tell him!

"Sir, please hand over your liver!" The female receptionist's expression grew increasingly twisted. Her colleague beside her also turned to look at Luo Jun, grinning so widely that her mouth stretched to her ears, exposing the sharp teeth inside.

"Run!"

Without another word, Luo Jun turned and sprinted toward the elevators. The sound of the floor cracking rang out behind him, but he did not dare look back. He rushed to the elevator doors at top speed and frantically pressed the button.

Taking that chance, he finally saw what the lobby looked like.

A massive slug-like creature was crawling out from behind the front desk. Its body was covered in rubble and dust, and the two antennae above its head were those two beautiful receptionists!

No wonder those two receptionists had not changed shifts from last night until now. They were merely the antennae of a monster hiding underground!

The monster was enormous. After burrowing out of the floor, it occupied nearly half the lobby. It had crushed several guests who had been handling business at the front desk, yet the remaining people turned a blind eye to it and continued doing whatever they had been doing, without a trace of panic.

Cognitive distortion!

Old Yuan had mentioned during their chat last night that there were Ordinary People in Chaos Missions as well. They were not game NPCs, but living, breathing people. Ordinary People were easily influenced and controlled. The strange entities in missions were not very interested in these insignificant Ordinary People either. They preferred Vital Energy Cultivators with powerful Life Energy!

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

Luo Jun hammered the elevator button frantically. Just as the monster drew closer and closer, the elevator doors finally opened!

Luo Jun slipped into the car in a flash and immediately shut the doors. The Dice of Heavenly Secrets appeared before his eyes!

Go to the first basement floor!

"Ding, this Event Complexity is too high. Unable to determine!"

Too high?

Luo Jun froze, but as the elevator doors closed and the Large Monster outside approached, he decisively pressed the button for the first basement floor anyway!

The elevator began descending, and the sound of the monster slamming into the elevator doors came from above.

But Luo Jun did not relax. The dice result from earlier had told him that reaching the first basement floor would not be smooth.

On the LED display, the downward arrow kept flashing. Luo Jun could feel the elevator moving, but the floor indicator still showed the first floor.

How deep was the first basement floor? Why had it not arrived after so long?

Unease filled Luo Jun's heart when a Loud Noise suddenly came from above. The elevator car shook slightly with it.

Something was coming...

Vital Energy accelerated through Luo Jun's body, and the Dice of Heavenly Secrets was ready to act.

With a bang, the maintenance hatch on the elevator ceiling was violently torn open. Then, a petite figure dropped inside.

"Big Brother, we meet again."

A chill ran down Luo Jun's back. This was the Monster Little Girl who had chased him last night!

He had not expected her to follow him here!

"Ding!"

"New Mission discovered."

"Mission Target: Hold out against the Cannibal Ogre until reaching the first basement floor."

"Mission Difficulty: 45."

"Severity Coefficient: 12 times."

"Mission Consume: Three Usable Times."

"Mission Quota: Seven Usable Times."

"Accept?"

The mission had activated? And the Severity Coefficient was twelve times!

It made sense. If he could not hold out, he would die, just like when he had fallen from upstairs before!

Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, then chose yes without hesitation!

His remaining three Usable Times were exhausted. In the mission panel, the Dice of Heavenly Secrets' Usable Times became seven!

Luo Jun immediately felt emboldened. I'm not the same person I was yesterday. Since you insist on delivering yourself to me, let me show you what the first level of the Body Refinement Realm can do!

With that thought, Luo Jun threw a punch without another word!

The Little Girl seemed not to have expected the "prey" before her to dare take the initiative and attack.

The Girl extended a slender hand and caught Luo Jun's fist with a smack. At the same time, her bangs shifted, and her tongue shot out with a whoosh!

The dice flashed through his mind. Luo Jun barely dodged the attack, then suddenly threw his other fist!

Smack. The Little Girl caught that fist with her other hand.

"Your speed and strength are both inferior to mine. In this cramped space, you have no room to resist." The Girl retracted her tongue, and her two mouths spoke at once.

"Is that so?" The corner of Luo Jun's mouth curled up slightly. His hands suddenly moved, Vital Energy pouring into them as he grabbed the Girl's wrists instead!

The Girl was startled and instinctively tried to break free, only to discover that Luo Jun's strength was several times greater than it had been last night!

"How—" Before she could react, Luo Jun had already made a judgment in his mind. He exerted force with both arms and flung the Girl upward, then raised a leg and kicked her squarely in the face!

Bang!

The kick sent the Girl flying upward, straight out through the maintenance hatch!

"Go back where you came from!"

Listening to the furious curses from above the elevator, Luo Jun pursed his lips disdainfully.

The mission only required him to hold out. It did not require him to win. Against a monster like this, sending it away was naturally the best option. Still, it had gone unexpectedly smoothly. He had only used the dice twice in total. What a waste...

Just as he was feeling a little pained over it, Luo Jun suddenly noticed that the mission had not been completed, and his heart tightened.

Sure enough, a Loud Noise suddenly came from the ceiling. This time, the elevator car shook far more violently. Whatever had fallen onto it was clearly much heavier than before!

The corner of Luo Jun's eye twitched as several sounds of something being severed came from above. Then the entire elevator jolted. Accompanied by the piercing screech of brakes, Luo Jun felt a force pressing down on him, as though gravity had suddenly multiplied several times over!

The elevator had activated its emergency brakes!

Luo Jun had only just steadied himself against the wall when several more strange sounds came from above. The elevator, which had just come to a stop, began moving downward again!

This time, an intense sensation of weightlessness washed over him. Panic rose in Luo Jun's heart. The elevator was practically in Freefall!

The monster on top of the elevator had cut the cables and destroyed the braking system. It wanted Luo Jun to fall to his death!

"Damn it, are you trying to die with me?" Luo Jun cursed angrily. He pressed himself tightly against the wall, doing his best to keep his balance. Suddenly, several tentacles drilled through the maintenance hatch, found their direction, and stabbed toward him!

A judgment passed through his mind, and Luo Jun barely evaded the attack. Then he saw a huge mass of flesh-colored tissue squeezing down through the narrow maintenance hatch right after the tentacles. The disgusting sight made his scalp tingle, reminding him of the terror he had faced last night.

What can I do... Luo Jun scanned the cramped elevator car. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He turned around, shoved his fingers into the gaps between the elevator doors, and forced them apart!

With strength more than ten times that of an ordinary person, aided by Vital Energy, he easily pried open the elevator doors, revealing the walls of the Elevator Shaft racing upward outside.

At this speed, it really was in Freefall!

At that moment, a terrifying roar came from behind him. The Tentacle Monster had already crawled through the maintenance hatch and was now trapped in the cramped elevator car with Luo Jun!
