Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"Main quest updated: Containment breach. All personnel must re-contain at least ten escaped entities (8/10)"

Xu Tong had to admit one thing.

Zhen Yi’s hints were actually quite useful.

Although Zhen Yi’s hint seemed simple—that "even killing a containment entity counts as successful containment"—it made things much easier for Xu Tong and Pei Wenyu.

They no longer needed to provide complex processes like when containing the door panel, saving time and effort.

Now, whenever they saw a containment entity, they would just attack without hesitation.

If they won, containment was successful, and everyone was happy.

If they lost, they could just run away, at zero cost and zero risk.

Xu Tong thought that if he had known this ten minutes earlier, the main quest would have been completed long ago. Why did it have to be so troublesome?

Now, with only two containment entities left, the main quest was almost complete. The only remaining problem was the content of the final horror story.

Also, why couldn’t his identity as a containment specialist be known? Was it related to the final horror story?

While advancing and completing the main quest, Xu Tong pondered this question.

If each player's identity was related to the content of the final horror story, what kind of story would require players to specifically hide their identities?

Stroking his chin, Xu Tong walked ahead of Pei Wenyu, scouting the way, and suddenly stopped.

Pei Wenyu reacted quickly and didn't bump into his back. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Tong raised his head and looked straight ahead, only to find a dead end.

To call it a dead end wasn't quite accurate. To be precise, it was the innermost space of the containment facility. Before Xu Tong and Pei Wenyu was a tightly closed door with a line of text written on it.

[Only members of the council may open this door]

Council members were the highest authority in this containment facility. Since only council members could open this door, Xu Tong's authority was definitely not enough.

Pei Wenyu immediately realized and asked Xu Tong, "Your real rank isn't actually council member, is it?"

Xu Tong chuckled. "I don't think anyone has revealed their true rank, right?"

"Indeed," Pei Wenyu frankly shared her information. "The message I received is that my identity cannot be revealed to others, although I don't know exactly why."

Xu Tong nodded. "Then we're in the same situation."

Since they couldn't know each other's identities, both sides tacitly avoided asking what the other's identity was.

However, they were still hesitant in front of the door.

Xu Tong certainly couldn't open the door. Although he claimed to be a council member, he didn't have the authority as a containment specialist.

Judging from Xu Tong's performance, Pei Wenyu roughly guessed that Xu Tong's identity was definitely not a council member.

And Pei Wenyu didn't act either, probably because she wasn't a council member. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have already opened the door.

The two of them were stuck here. If they went forward, the door couldn't be opened. If they stayed here... there was nothing to talk about, just wasting time.

"How about... we turn back?"

Pei Wenyu nodded. "Okay."

As soon as the two turned around, Xu Tong's expression became serious.

Because a huge sound was approaching him.

Clang—Clang—Clang—

The sound, like metal colliding, was ringing in his ears, like a metal band performing a fierce show, almost knocking Xu Tong's brain out.

Not long after he awakened his superb perception ability, Xu Tong had already heard this sound, but before, these sounds were basically separated by a wall, maintaining a relatively safe distance from Xu Tong.

But this time, the sound was not blocked by a wall.

It was truly right in front of him!

Hearing the huge sound, Pei Wenyu also gripped her long knife. She would react as soon as anything unexpected happened.

Clang—Clang—Clang—

The huge sound was getting closer and closer, but the thing never appeared in Xu Tong's field of vision.

Clang!

With a loud bang almost directly in his ear, the sound of metal collision suddenly stopped.

Huh?

Xu Tong was a little hesitant. The sound disappeared a little too abruptly, as if it had stopped directly, like a statue, not moving at all.

Xu Tong took a step forward.

The sound of metal collision did not ring again.

But at the end of Xu Tong's field of vision, he vaguely saw the outline of something.

A few more steps forward.

The sound of metal collision still did not ring, but a certain object, the source of the sound, had appeared in Xu Tong's sight.

It was a distorted object similar to a human figure. At first glance, it looked like an enlarged sketch mannequin, but every part of its body was made of metal.

The tissues used to connect the body were made of metal springs. The reason why there was a constant sound of metal collision was because the ghost's body collided with itself when moving at high speed.

And this ghost had no head.

Only a spring serving as a neck was swaying precariously.

[Danger is approaching. Your brain quickly dispatches corresponding information. The one moving in the ventilation duct should be number A-102. The preceding number represents the danger level of the containment entity. A-level is extremely dangerous. This entity collects other people's heads to install on its neck. When you stare at it with your eyes, it will not move. Any other method will cause it to act and take your head from your body. This entity cannot be killed. Please take it to a specific room for containment, otherwise it will continue to hunt a single target]

It was a containment entity that one had to keep looking at, otherwise it would move at high speed and kill the player?

Now that there were Xu Tong and Pei Wenyu here, it wasn't that difficult to deal with a containment entity that had to be watched.

"Pei..."

Before Xu Tong could finish speaking, another loud noise suddenly came from above!

A black figure, the size of a hyena, fell from the sky, blocking the only retreat for Xu Tong and Pei Wenyu!

Xu Tong didn't even need to look with his eyes to be sure what it was.

Number A-324, the containment entity that had been wandering in the ventilation duct!

When this containment entity appeared, one must not move, otherwise one would be killed!

"Don't move!"

Damn it, how can I run if I don't move?

You've been jumping around in the ventilation duct for so long, and you just happen to fall down at this time?

Your timing is impeccable!
