Chapter 525: Chapter 201: Insect God Shell, Breaking Through Containment!

The black goat saw the door being opened and instantly understood Li Changhe’s intentions.

As it cursed aloud, it saw a very tall, slender figure appear at the door.

It was a scarecrow, wearing a red and white checkered shirt and blue work pants.

The scarecrow’s face was a childish doodle of eyes and a mouth on a paper mask.

At this moment, the expression on the paper had completely twisted, revealing murderous intent.

It angrily waved its slender arms and emitted a piercing sound.

"Wait, I’m not the one who killed the Tin Man!" The black goat’s face changed drastically. Having spent so much time on the Dream Cruise, it naturally recognized this Abnormality as Scarecrow 317.

Being made of straw itself, energy-disrupting abilities had no effect on it. And even if it was chopped in half, it could quickly recover. It was a difficult opponent to deal with.

But would the furious scarecrow listen to his excuses?

It was an Abnormality that was hostile to humans. When faced with the special squad trying to stop it before, it had used its abilities to kill several squad members on the spot.

So now, it didn’t hesitate to attack.

Its arms quickly extended like a spear, stabbing towards the black goat. It would not kill him, as a [Player]’s attributes were higher than ordinary people, so evading such an attack wasn’t too difficult.

But the black goat’s mood became even darker.

Having handed over its room card, it now had no place to hide on the cruise ship.

Even if it escaped Room 313, it had nowhere left to go, and fighting was inevitable.

It was being forced to fight the Abnormalities!

"Damn it!" The black goat quickly dodged and did not forget to curse someone.

Li Changhe intended to use him to incite chaos.

After learning that the Tin Man and two other Abnormalities had a good relationship, Li Changhe realized that any person or Abnormality entering Room 313 would be targeted by them.

And the untrustworthy black goat was perfect for this role.

All Li Changhe had to do was open the door in front of the scarecrow.

Wanting to stay out of trouble? Ugly intentions, but pretty thoughts.

Meanwhile, the [Players] gathered in the stairwell of the fourth floor.

"It hasn’t caused much chaos. Although the fight is lively, the other Abnormalities are just watching and doing nothing." Smoke Rising said, with a view of the battle inside Room 313 from this angle.

The scarecrow had strong regeneration abilities. Even if its arms were severed by the black goat, it could quickly grow new ones from the stumps.

Its method of attack was simple and crude. It could control the toughness of its straw body, transforming its hands into weapons. If someone was hit by it, its straw would burst out from the victim’s body.

At the beginning, the player from Hua Country who entered with Earth Knight died because of this strange ability.

It was one of those Abnormalities that had bizarre combat abilities and were hard to kill.

The black goat took out a short knife, dodged like a shuttle, and cut off the scarecrow’s limbs and head several times, but still could not kill it.

Instead, it ended up with several new wounds on its body.

The other Abnormalities merely watched from a distance, not even approaching Room 313.

This could hardly be called chaos.

"Hmm...not enough came out. Or rather, the black goat is too weak. It can’t force the scarecrow to the point of calling for help." Li Changhe glanced at the various floors. The ones on the second floor didn’t move at all. Most of them were object-type Abnormalities and couldn’t freely enter or leave rooms. Another part of them was locked in their rooms.

As for the third floor, there were about ten anomalies that came out.

Besides that, there was no movement on the fourth and fifth floors.

Li Changhe originally thought that when the scarecrow discovered the enemy who killed the Tin Man, it would call out the Lion from the fourth floor to help.

That way, he could take advantage of the situation to execute their next move. It seemed he had overestimated the black goat.

"Sigh. He’s the kind of player who’s willing to stay on the Dream Cruise to avoid danger." Earth Knight shook his head, "As a player, he can’t help but want to escape reality. He won’t get very far. It was a miscalculation."

"What should we do now?" Smoke Rising asked, "Do we help the black goat force the scarecrow to call out the lion? Or do we attack the other Abnormalities to draw out even more of them?"

"Dealing with one scarecrow is easy, but we can hardly survive against the fourth floor anomalies. If the black goat could force the scarecrow to call out the lion, it would be best. We could use the lion’s abilities to cause trouble. This way, we could avoid being targeted as much as possible." Earth Knight said, "It would have been a good plan to begin with. Who could have known the black goat would be this pathetic?"

Though the scarecrow’s abilities were strange, they weren’t completely unstoppable.

The most terrifying aspect of Abnormalities was the unknown nature of their powers.

Many high-level players died at the hands of Abnormalities due to so-called "first encounter kills."

But Li Changhe and the others already knew about many of the Abnormalities’ abilities here. Dealing with the scarecrow on the third floor wouldn’t take much effort.

Of course, using Big Lead might be faster.

Li Changhe and the others discussed trying to get as many Abnormalities as possible to leave their rooms.

From the information obtained from Gray Wolf, many of the third and fourth-floor Abnormalities had at least some kind of connection.

For example, the deceased Tin Man and the currently fighting scarecrow had an unusually close relationship with the lion on the fourth floor.

The lion in room 420 on the fourth floor had the ability to cause any human or Abnormality hearing its roar to fall into a panic.

It was a direct physical effect. No matter how brave or strong the target, their body would display a state of fear.

It was a perverted ability. During combat, a sudden roar would cause the opponent to lose any advantage.

In The Wizard of Oz, it was a cowardly lion that wanted courage.

After turning into an Abnormality, it wasn’t known whether it had grown braver, but it could at least make others afraid as well.

Li Changhe planned to use its ability to plunge the Abnormalities here into terror, hoping to bring out more from the fourth floor.

Unfortunately, the first move had already failed.

They simply wouldn’t come out. They had no choice but to take a stronger approach.

"No matter, I initially thought of using this move after confirming their departure. We would be safer that way, but now...let’s use it ahead of schedule. Everyone, be careful. Retreat to room 409 if you can’t hold on...if you get the chance."

"Wait, why would we be safer when they come out? What exactly is your plan to deal with the Abnormalities?" Smoke Rising frowned, he didn’t understand the reasoning.

"We’re not the ones attacking the Abnormalities."

Li Changhe raised his hand slightly, "On the contrary, we and the Abnormalities are the ones trying to survive."

At the same time, the door of Room 308 slowly opened.

"So, Insect God Shell, breach containment. Abnormalities, prepare to fight for your lives."
