Chapter 5: Surviving Under Pressure
What is a random BOSS?
What does “ensure your survival” mean?!
Although she didn’t understand anything, Rong Yi’s survival instincts prompted two words in her mind:
RUN AWAY!!!
“Quick, quick, add as friends! How do we add? Hurry!” She frantically operated her floating screen.
T, sensing the dangerous situation, quietly approached Rong Yi from behind, with a gleaming blade sprung out from his jump knife.
Both he and Rong Yi had the same thought: escape quickly!
T had another card in his hand, a blue card named “Forceful Ejection Card” for D-grade or lower instances.
He didn’t really care about clearing the instance. For him, the instance was just a marvelous stage to observe the unique innate abilities of the three newcomers.
He was like a picky judge sitting beneath the stage, scrutinizing and selecting.
He put the unused Forceful Ejection Card back into his system’s inventory.
Suddenly, his neck was gripped by a hand.
It was a hand wearing white gloves, slender and graceful.
T broke out in cold sweat, even without looking, he knew who it was.
The random BOSS.
The Lucky Carnival features an extremely powerful and elusive random BOSS, with an incredibly low appearance rate and terrifying combat strength. Its related data remains an unsolved mystery on player forums to this day.
T widened his eyes, frozen on the spot, cold sweat dripping from his chin.
No one knows the rules or motives behind the random BOSS’s killings. All they know is that once it appears, no one survives.
The mannequin-like beautiful male doll seemed to be puzzled by the sudden appearance of the muscular man. His flawless skin reflected an eerie shine, and his stunning eyes behind the single-lens glasses blinked unnaturally. His wooden head tilted slightly, making a strange clicking sound.
T, witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but shudder. He realized that the mannequin doll was not a simple decoration but another mysterious entity in this unpredictable place. The situation had escalated beyond his control, and fear gripped him tightly.
Meanwhile, the random BOSS’s presence lingered in the background, making the atmosphere even more tense and ominous. With his escape route blocked and a powerful opponent before him, T found himself trapped in a life-or-death situation, realizing that the chances of survival were slim.
In the face of the unknown, all he could do was brace himself for the upcoming battle, trying his best to stay alive in this perilous Lucky Carnival.
During the last ten seconds of the [Meet the Parents] skill, Rong Yi finally added the cannibal monster as a friend. She was afraid that after the skill expired, the monster would not recognize them and hinder their progress, so she waved to it, “Go back to the restaurant!”
However, the cannibal monster shook its head, pointing outside at the mannequin currently patting the muscular man’s shoulder, showing a frightened expression. It insisted on squeezing into the cramped snack shop with Rong Yi and the girl with twin ponytails.
The girl with twin ponytails screamed in fear and hid behind the counter.
Rong Yi was getting a headache, “You are also a BOSS, you are all colleagues, what are you afraid of?”
The cannibal monster shook its head like a tambourine, looking nervous, “N-n-n-no, sister-in-law, you don’t understand, it, it, it, it”
The cannibal monster kept stuttering, and Rong Yi’s screen displayed a notification that the [Meet the Parents] skill had reached its usage limit for the day.
Its eyes flickered, and suddenly it let out a roar and opened its huge mouth in anger.
Rong Yi: … Died from a BOSS’s stuttering.
She kicked off her high heels and led the cannibal monster towards the restaurant!
As they left the snack shop, she heard the muscular man’s screams, “Ah! No, please, don’t kill those women, they, they’re easy to kill ah ah ah ah!”
The mannequin effortlessly snapped his thick, sturdy thighs like sugar canes, causing him so much pain that he nearly passed out.
However, the mannequin didn’t kill him. It only watched him writhing in agony on the ground, its wooden face revealing a hint of pleasure.
Rong Yi glanced at the gruesome scene and suddenly had an idea. The cannibal monster was afraid of the random boss, so instead of leading it until the last second, why not go directly to confront the random boss and intimidate it?
This time, she would BOSS the BOSS!
She changed her direction and ran towards the muscular man who was crying out in pain.
The mannequin noticed her movement but didn’t react much. It continued to torture the muscular man by stepping on his broken leg while attempting to wipe the blood off its white gloves.
As Rong Yi heard the footsteps behind her gradually fade away, she realized that the cannibal monster indeed didn’t dare to chase after her.
She sighed with relief.
Suddenly, a chilling sensation ran down her neck. She lowered her head and saw a gleaming switchblade.
Behind her, T’s voice sounded low and sinister, like a hissing snake, “Activate, See and Share.”
Only then did Rong Yi remember what her boyfriend had mentioned earlier – “Newbie Killer.”
She had been careless, too focused on completing the level that she had forgotten about this danger.
She wrapped her shirt sleeve around her palm and held onto the blade, trying to push it away.
But T applied pressure from the other end of the blade, pushing it closer to her throat!
The blade cut deeper, slicing through her shirt and directly into her palm.
