Chapter 003: Earning a Pension is Also Difficult

This is the reasoning behind it, where those who are nominally on standby at the branch are actually drinking and playing cards, leading the overall team to make a wasted trip, which will certainly result in being treated unfairly and subsequently affect their retirement benefits

The hand, which had been beaten to a pulp, writhed and twisted, its flesh dissolving into flesh-colored appendages, covered with mouthparts resembling squid tentacles. In an instant, the tentacles, in the literal sense, extended outwards, wrapping around Gaode's neck and lifting him high up.

Soon, Gao De discovered an anomaly; a bottle of wine emitted a slight chill that penetrated to his heart, reminiscent of the unusual sensation he felt when the cloaked figure passed by him

Gao De gritted his teeth and ran away, in such an atmosphere it was naturally impossible to say the words "I will take care of your wife," and even any words would be superfluous, yet he still hoped that the old man would have no regrets

The dark elves swooped and rolled, encircling from both sides and even from behind, as the two stood back to back, providing mutual cover. Gao De, with a bitter taste in his mouth, contemplated an escape route when the old man suddenly let out a terrible scream

He casually turned the wine bottle and said to the old man: "It seems like here..."

We must manage to get out and claim the compensation! At this moment, the old man entered a peak state, scolding Gao De while aiming with his one eye, taking down one with a single shot, hitting the target every time.

"Not just good, it's truly thoughtful." Having seen Gaode clearly, the slender pointed ears of the dark elf stood upright and trembled rapidly. She reached out to grab Gaode, her mouth continuously murmuring sweetly. "Young man, we complement each other in black and white, harmonizing yin and yang, perfectly creating a joy that even the gods would envy. At that time, you will be in me and I will be in you, never to be separated"

Thus, it can be said that my abilities are not suited for being the protagonist; it is indeed correct to just scrape by and earn a pension, yet the heavens simply do not allow it!

Surrender to the resistance, hold me, and move...

A commendable offering

He shouted, but the old man angrily roared: "You are not allowed to seduce Lingling!"

Before the words were finished, darkness enveloped me, and the world spun around.

At a critical moment, this thing indeed cannot be relied upon, the old man put down the communicator, turned on the flashlight, and was met with a sight of layers upon layers of corpses, at least a hundred of them

The chill swirling in his mind and heart whispered softly to Gao De, a force that he could not resist at all, causing him to involuntarily lower his arms and take a step forward

The old man kicked him, sending him tumbling, as a cold wind whistled past his head

Black-skinned bean sprouts belong to a matriarchal society, where female bean sprouts are inherently promiscuous and crave flesh and desire. They have heard many rumors about capturing male creatures for flesh sacrifices, followed by jokes like, "If you bind you to the black-skinned bean sprouts, it could fetch a high price." The corpses seen earlier all died in extreme pleasure and pain, and after the act, the tools must be confiscated and archived.

Hurry up

Still no signal

Gao De was about to press the button on the communicator when the old man stopped him, saying, "No rush, let's look for it first; we need to find something like a secret door."

A string in his mind twanged like a piano string, the oscillation suddenly displacing his sense of reality. The icy power from the dark elf slid off his mind and body, falling into the gaps of dislocation.

Why is this happening

This is by no means the meaning of his life in coming to this world

The old man raised his gun and fired, the gunshot echoing deafeningly in the vast underground cavern. The green light flickered and swayed, dimming in pairs, while the other points of light did not disappear, nor did they retreat.

This is a big deal now, the old man rubbed his waist and complained, and Gaode understood very well what it meant

"It was you who did it, right!" the old man exclaimed from behind, "You always have such good luck! But your hands are always so unscrupulous!"

The ten-millimeter bullet, engraved with a cross, was discharged, shattering the dark elf's palm with one shot, and entering through the left eye, exiting through the back of the head. The next five shots struck the chest and abdomen, transforming what was once a fine sight into a mass of flesh on a butcher's block.

"What the hell," the old man was also startled, nearly dropping his flashlight, "it's one of the four great bandits..."

The dark elf's body swayed continuously with the gunfire, yet when the pistol emitted a clicking sound, she remained standing firmly.

Master, I will take good care of Lingling

Before he could react, he and the old man were rapidly sliding down the narrow spiral pipe. The pipe was slick and offered no grip, making it impossible to stop.

Old He is very satisfied with his apprentice Gao De, but he is quite uneasy about this pretty boy Gao De. Not only does he have no intention of bringing him and Ling Ling together, but he also never allows the two to have any contact.

In the dim light of the flashlight, a flying knife was seen embedded in the old man's left eye socket, causing Gao De's chest and abdomen to spasm, and he felt the urge to vomit again

"Take care of your sister!" Then the old man changed his tune, and when he heard him shouting, "Just a few days left until retirement, damn it!" he was already far away

The flickering candlelight suddenly brightened, casting a dim glow in the hall. The shadow was the cloaked figure seen earlier, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down the spine. A low yet distinctly feminine voice, akin to the cold, damp flicker of a serpent's tongue, caressed Gaode's eardrum.

Run fast! The old man's voice had never been so loud and powerful, Run up high! Go call for reinforcements, quickly!

Although he did not find it useful, Gao De still instantly entered a state of out-of-body experience, detaching his perception, which was the only thing he could do.

At the end of the cave, a passage emerged, winding upward in several loops. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet changed from dirt to artificially carved stone slabs, and Gao De ran into an underground hall that was at least the size of a basketball court

The events that followed were so bizarre that his sense of reality kept oscillating between dislocation and reorganization.

Gao De shot towards the green light that was clearly the light of the pupil, and in the moment the gunfire erupted, it faintly illuminated the slender and short figure of the other party, as well as his colorless cheeks

This must be a cave, pitch black with nothing visible. The temperature is very low, and a faint smell of blood and even decay is quite familiar, reminiscent of a morgue.

With a slight pull of the trigger, Gao De was filled with a torrent of bitterness. Why does this damned world harbor such malice towards him? Is it really so difficult to even earn a pension?

Gao De and the old man observed the foreign wines on the shelf separately, examining each bottle carefully. If there were a hidden door, it should have a switch like this

One must be grateful that the black-skinned bean sprouts are stubbornly resistant, always rejecting firearms; otherwise, their master and apprentice would have long since turned into sieves. However, the continuous soft whistling sound persists, as hidden weapons like blow darts and flying knives shoot towards them, which cannot be stopped by the silk armor worn underneath.

Gao De was filled with deep sorrow and despair, and when he catches up with his master later, he truly feels ashamed to face him

Gao De's heartbeat indeed doubled, but it was out of fear

It won't do, we need to think of a solution

Gao De intended to run, but this shout made him unable to move his legs instead, "Master!"

The cloak fell to the ground, revealing a voluptuous figure, with dark skin shimmering in a kaleidoscope of colors, and the alluringly exaggerated curves made one's heart race.

The peculiar croaking of frogs echoed from a distance, one after another, gradually drawing closer, accompanied by faint glimmers of green light. Gao De felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Gao De quickly regained control of his body, halted, raised his hand, and pulled the trigger

The last sounds were the old man's screams and the shrill cries of the black-skinned bean sprouts, along with the rustling footsteps trailing behind. Gao De struggled to suppress the tears in his eyes, otherwise he would not be able to see the path illuminated by the flashlight

Gao De almost vomited; these corpses were completely naked, their chests were cut open, and their hearts had been removed. The upper halves of their heads were also missing, leaving them hollow inside. Even more horrifying was that all the bodies were male, and they were completely devoid of their lower parts

This is the dark elf commonly known as "Black-Skinned Bean Sprout," characterized by brutality and depravity. Alongside vampires, ratmen, and orcs, they are referred to as the Four Great Bandits. Throughout the history of the Shenzhou continent spanning tens of thousands of years, the Four Great Bandits have been intertwined with various dynasties, and they are even the main culprits behind the downfall of many dynasties

As he raised his head, a sudden shadow appeared before him, startling him to the point that he jumped back several steps.

Her hand was several meters away from Gaode, yet an invisible chill, like intangible tendrils, penetrated into Gaode's mind and heart, binding his blood vessels and tendons, constraining his thoughts and emotions, causing him to rapidly lose control over his body and even his spirit

Gao De felt himself getting wet, this guy is truly a supernatural being! A powerful one at that, so strong that he cannot even detect any traces, capable of invading the mind and controlling the body of others!

Gao De found himself suspended in mid-air, with no support whatsoever, gripping the pistol tightly, yet unable to change the magazine.

Black-skinned bean sprouts

It actually works

The wine cellar is not large, with wine racks arranged along three walls, leaving only a narrow space in the middle for two people to stand side by side. The shelves are filled with various colored foreign wines, and the rich aroma of the wine makes Gao De feel somewhat dizzy.

The footsteps behind him faded away, Gao De stopped to catch his breath and quickly checked the communicator

Gao De instinctively raised the gun, yet the other party not only did not dodge, but also forced out a nauseating smile from that long, narrow face as dark as ink

The path from the workshop to the wine cellar is a dead end, yet I did not see that guy; things are becoming increasingly clear.

After a long time of spinning, just when Gao De was beginning to suspect he was about to reach the Earth's core, he finally flew out of the pipe and landed on something cold, hard, yet somewhat elastic. Then, the old man flew out and kicked him against the earthen wall.

I also do not want this! Gao De is exceptionally frustrated, wondering why he cannot control his own hands!

Seven bullets were fired in the blink of an eye. With the accuracy honed from frequent visits to the shooting range, at least three shots hit their mark, but the black-skinned bean sprouts were as numerous as the henchmen in Hong Kong films. The old man discarded the revolver and used a Jinyiwei sidearm to fire another magazine, yet he still could not prevent the enemy from closing in.

Damn it! It is the Exile!" She was exceptionally furious, "I will devour your soul!"
