Lin Qinfeng stared at Alex's aggrieved face without responding to Lin Shou's question.
She hoped this was nothing more than an accident as well.
But with incidents occurring one after another, Mr. Lu Li was already stretched thin.
They could not afford any more trouble.
So, to be safe, it was better to handle things strictly.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Qinfeng gave her order:
"This incident is unusual. Take Alex back and keep him under strict guard for now."
"The guards responsible for their posts will have all of today's contribution points deducted. Let this serve as a warning!"
The guards surrounding Alex all wore bitter expressions upon hearing this.
A few of them even intended to secretly kick Alex a couple of times to vent their frustration.
But Lin Qinfeng noticed and stopped them in time:
"Enough. Letting him approach the Black Ice Pool was already your dereliction of duty."
"You're lucky no disaster occurred. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be contribution points you'd lose—you might have lost your lives here as well!"
The guards all lowered their heads, not daring to make any further moves.
Naked, Alex was quickly taken away.
Once the disturbance subsided, calm returned to the area around the Black Ice Pool.
However, the Flame-Shelled Geoduck's spiritual infusion did not last much longer either.
After the last batch of players by the Black Ice Pool woke from their slumber, the Flame-Shelled Geoduck gradually turned into black mist, merging back into the air and vanishing completely.
Since she sensed nothing unusual, Lin Qinfeng did not pay it much mind.
After confirming that all the players who had received the infusion were in good condition, she lifted the lockdown around the Black Ice Pool and headed with Chen Hao to the medical area of Frost Territory
