Su Jiu, Li Jin, Big Elephant Jin, and others found trash bags from the mall and securely tied up the collected body parts. They then brought them to the first-floor plaza, attempting to piece them together.

Normally, curious passersby would have stopped to watch what these people were doing. However, at this moment, most people in the mall were trapped in a state of paralyzing fear and paid them no mind.

All the body parts were placed together, forming a complete body, with only the head missing.

Just then, Shata, who was still standing in the center of the plaza, did something that surprised everyone.

She walked directly towards the giant GG Sign. Then, she placed her hands on the iron pillars below and began to exert force with her arms. Accompanied by the terrifying sound of metal being stretched, creak, creak, she managed to uproot the entire GG Sign from the ground, bit by bit.

This was too exaggerated.

It was even more exaggerated than Lu Zhishen uprooting a willow tree with one hand.

Shata was only about 1.6 meters tall. Standing beneath the dozens of meters tall GG Sign, she looked as small as an ant. She never expected that she would actually grab the GG Sign and pull it up, little by little!

Big Elephant Jin and the others on the opposite side of the plaza stared in disbelief. Was this still human? This was Superwoman.

Gao Tian was even more astonished. He knew Shata was very strong, having obtained a Supernatural Item that increased her strength after a certain Green Text Mission. But he had never imagined that this young girl's strength would be this immense.

Many passersby, whose attention had been on the mall entrance, were stunned into silence by this unbelievable sight and began taking out their phones to record.

Amidst this bizarre scene, most people failed to notice that even though the GG Screen had been uprooted and the connecting wires were being torn apart, the giant face of the Female Star on the GG Screen did not disappear after losing power. It mechanically repeated the action of applying makeup.

This GG Screen was abnormal; it did not rely on power to play!

Jiangyang was the first to react. He grabbed two body parts, one in each hand:

"Shata believes the head of the corpse is the head of the Female Star on the GG Screen!

"Let's hurry over and place the complete headless body under the GG Screen!"

This was too damn ridiculous.

Why would the face of the Female Star on the GG Screen serve as the sixth piece, the head?

But Gao Tian and the others had no time to ask questions. In the distance, Shata, a tiny black dot beneath the giant GG Screen, walked unsteadily. It seemed lifting the GG Screen, which was dozens of times larger than her, was a huge burden. She was struggling to support it.

Gao Tian, Big Elephant Jin, and the others each grabbed a leg and rushed under Shata at top speed. They reassembled the headless body, and then Shata, with a loud bang, placed the GG Sign directly above the headless body.

She was covered in sweat, clearly having exhausted most of her strength pulling down the GG Sign.

After completing this, everyone began to retreat in the opposite direction of the corpse, putting distance between themselves and the body parts. They observed what would happen next.

This was also the advice of an Apartment Old Resident: when a mission is nearing completion and participants' attention is most scattered, Green Text Missions often like to perform a Face Jump Kill, killing participants who are full of hope and waiting for reward settlement.

Gao Tian and the others looked at the "complete" body. The body was clearly male, but the head was that of the Female Star on the GG Screen. They wondered if this counted as fulfilling the requirements of the Green Text Mission.

It had only been a few seconds, but in their perception, it felt like a century.

A moment later, Gao Tian and the others witnessed an unbelievable scene. The corpse fragments that were originally scattered in the black bags began to move, drawing closer to each other like magnetic tape, piecing themselves together.

Rotten flesh gnawed through the black bags, and the corpse fragments connected, reforming into a new body.

Especially the female star on the GG sign. She had stopped applying makeup on the screen and slowly turned her head. Her deep-set eye sockets began to bleed bright red blood.

Immediately after, the GG screen went black. Then, from the neck area of the previously incomplete body, countless thick black hairs began to sprout. A round head seemed to be struggling to emerge from it.

This incomplete corpse had recognized the female star on the GG sign, becoming its final puzzle piece.

"This is f***ing fake."

Li Jin couldn't help but complain.

"With this kind of completion method, how can ordinary people ever pass?"

Shata and Jiangyang's expressions remained tense. Although they had indeed met the requirements of the Green Text Mission, this mission was truly absurd.

Beneath the corpse, countless filthy black blood flowed. As the head grew, its hands and feet began to tremble as if electrocuted, their movements strange and twisted, as if struggling desperately to climb up from the ground.

The six corpse fragments had already been sewn together, so why hadn't the Green Text Mission prompted them that the mission was over?

Gao Tian looked at the trembling corpse lying on the ground, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

If the original owner of this corpse was Xu Yuan, then it must be extremely displeased right now.

Because this head wasn't his; it belonged to some inexplicable woman. Anyone would be unhappy about that.

But Gao Tian and the others couldn't possibly retrieve his original head for him, as Xu Yuan's true head had already been taken by that Vengeful Ghost who enjoyed collecting. That Vengeful Ghost was most likely not in the mall right now, so how could Gao Tian find it?

At some point, a female voice among the onlookers screamed, "Is that black, gooey thing... standing up?"

The corpse, which Gao Tian and the others had painstakingly assembled, did not end just because the mission requirements were met. On the contrary, after gaining a complete body, the indescribable, rotten object slowly seeped through the black bags that had contained its shattered body and actually crawled up from the ground, as if it had gained new life.

The first thing the corpse did after getting up was to run towards Shata, Gao Tian, and the others. Its stance was wobbly at first, and it fell to the ground after a couple of steps. After getting up again, its control over the body had clearly improved, and its running speed increased.

What a bizarre sight. The head of the rotten body had completely transformed into the beautiful, radiant face of the female star. Yet, black fluid continued to ooze from its body, emitting a nauseating stench. The female star's face smiled like a robot's as it relentlessly approached the Apartment Residents.

The distance between them began to shrink.

"What in the world is going on?"

"Didn't the mission end already?"

Su Jiu, clearly participating in a mission for the first time, had completely broken down upon seeing this bizarre scene. He sat down on the ground, staring in shock at the approaching corpse.

Boss Jin, who looked plump and stout, was the most pragmatic. Seeing that the situation was dire, he turned and fled.

Shata remained in place, muttering to himself:

"We were tricked.

"The Green Text Mission said that at precisely nine o'clock, the corpse pieces would undergo Corpse Transformation.

"But it never mentioned that after the corpse pieces were assembled, it wouldn't transform.

"By putting these six pieces of corpse together, we actually accelerated its Corpse Transformation process. It fully awakened before nine o'clock."

Jiangyang's jaw nearly hit the floor:

"What?

"That's possible?"

No matter how hard it was to accept, watching the approaching female corpse, everyone knew they had to face reality. They had cursed Living Person Apartment ten thousand times in their hearts.

Su Jiu's mind was also collapsing:

"What should we do now? I don't want to die. This is unfair, I clearly completed the complete corpse according to the apartment's requirements..."

Li Jin was so furious he cursed loudly:

"Living Person Apartment, I (censored) your mother!"

Shata stood coldly before everyone:

"I'll find a way to stall it for a while.

"If any of you have the ability, find your own way to escape."

She and Jiangyang had each taken five million from Boss Jin. Having failed the Green Text Mission, they could only resort to this method to mitigate their losses as much as possible.

But how long could they stall?

Ghosts were immortal. Even though Shata's physique was extraordinary and she had a few Supernatural Items to back her up, she couldn't possibly hold off the female corpse indefinitely.

She and Jiangyang could stall for a bit. Once Shata was powerless to turn the tide, they would directly activate their Black Cards and return to Living Person Apartment, abandoning Boss Jin and the other participants.

But in that short time, where could Boss Jin and the others escape to?

Sapphire Mall was already sealed off by this eerie white mist, making escape impossible. Playing hide-and-seek with this complete corpse inside the mall meant that all participants would eventually be found one by one and brutally killed.

It was decided from the very beginning. This mission seemed to have no intention of letting the participants survive. Die if you can't find the corpse pieces; die early if you find all of them.

In the blink of an eye, the female corpse arrived before Shata, wearing a mechanical, eerie smile. Shata clenched her fists tightly, ready to fight the Vengeful Ghost. However, the female corpse twisted its body in an unbelievable posture in mid-air, completely ignoring Shata and lunging towards Su Jiu, who was closest.

The complete female corpse was only interested in the participants of the Green Text Mission. It didn't want to kill bystanders like Shata for the moment.

Accompanied by Su Jiu's scream and the gasps of the surrounding bystanders, Gao Tian, who had been silent for a long time, finally seized this golden opportunity. He suddenly burst forth, his Ghost Transformation Spear turning into a white light that pierced the sun, directly penetrating the corpse's spine. The power that erupted instantly pinned her to the ground.

A strange scene occurred. The moment it was pierced by the Spear in Gao Tian's hand, the corpse seemed to freeze like a malfunctioning machine. It lay on the ground, showing no signs of moving.

"Congratulations to everyone, the second Green Text Mission is complete."
