TTAETSC Chapter 34.3 - Turn Human!

But Wei Jing didn't have time to go get it then, as he knew Yuan Ye was right behind him. Otherwise, he would have stepped forward and twisted off this loathsome little demon's* neck.

*Referring to Jon

Now, the most precious thing was time. Every minute and every second was a struggle with death. Being able to run for one more second was another second gained.

Although Wei Jing had never had direct contact with the dismissed chief, the organization had always ordered him to secretly gather various information about the other party. So Wei Jing was very familiar with Yuan Ye's terrifying combat power.

He knew that once the other party caught up, it would be hard to say if he would even have a complete corpse left.

After getting rid of the loathsome little demon with a gun, Wei Jing quickly grabbed the rope and climbed up. He had not deactivated his skill yet, so his speed and strength were in a non-human state, making him extremely fast.

Jon forcefully wiped the corner of his mouth and quickly caught up again.

Not long after, Yuan Ye quickly caught up to the elevator entrance.

Looking up, he saw Jon grabbing the rope, chasing after the guy who had made the sneak attack.

Yuan Ye clearly saw the face of that guy and felt it was vaguely familiar, but he didn't delve deeper into it, and also grabbed the rope and chased after him.

The little octopus was very curious about what this rope was made of, as it could actually withstand the weight of four people at the same time.

He took a closer look and found that it seemed to be made up of many fine metal wires of various kinds, overlaying and intertwined with some special materials.

No wonder it was so sturdy.

Yuan Ye's speed was incredibly fast as he quickly caught up with Jon. He inserted his long knife into the wall, flipped over Jon, and swiftly chased upward.

"Officer Yuan Ye... go on..."

After the initial burst of adrenaline, Jon was truly a bit exhausted. He gripped the rope tightly, using his hands that were already worn out, slowly carrying the captain upward, bit by bit.

Yuan Ye looked at the figure a hundred meters above. The other party's speed was incredibly fast, as agile as a monkey.

He would soon reach the top and escape alive.

—Sure enough, this gifted individual seemed familiar to him.

So that meant the other party was definitely related to the Main City.

A gifted individual who should have been under the command of the Main City was now controlled by other unknown forces. There was a lot of information to be obtained from this situation. Although it may not be a big fish, Yuan Ye intended to capture the person alive this time.

Swoosh—

Yuan Ye gathered his strength and threw his long knife, nailing the man's left arm to the side wall.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Wei Jing let out a miserable scream once again. Caught off guard, he could only use his right hand with difficulty to tightly grip the rope to stabilize himself.

It wasn't a fatal blow; he was only impaled in the arm.

The little octopus also clearly saw Yuan Ye's intention.

However, he was thinking, although this person also possessed a supernatural ability, was the other party a gifted individual like Yuan Ye, or a player like himself?

Just as Ye Yunfan was lost in thought, a yellow notification panel popped up out of nowhere.

[Friendly Reminder: Mental attack skill detected. Since the player is not the main target of the attack and the mental power value exceeds 100, triggering immunity effect.]

[Immune.]

The little octopus suddenly looked up, "...?!!"

Mental power attack skill?!

Skill?!!

Ye Yunfan had only seen this word in his own data panel and when he killed the player Zhang Nan, and now it had suddenly popped up here, which meant...

—There was a player here!

At the same moment, Yuan Ye's body suddenly shook, and his pupils contracted sharply as if he had suffered a serious injury.

His hand suddenly released the rope, and his body fell rapidly, like a bird whose wings were suddenly snapped off in mid-air.

"Officer...Officer Yuan Ye!!!"

Jon saw him falling from above, his expression stunned. He quickly wrapped the rope around his left hand a few times before reaching out with his right hand.

Clasp—!

He firmly grabbed the scabbard strap hanging on Yuan Ye's body.

The sudden addition of weight caused Jon to plummet half a meter, with the metal wires intertwining and tightening around his palm. They rubbed and crushed the flesh, resulting in a deep, bone-visible wound.

"Ah..."

The terrifying pain made Jon's face instantly lose all color.

The weight of three people was now all on him, specifically on one of his hands. It was challenging to maintain the current state, let alone continue climbing up with them.

"Officer... Officer Yuan Ye?"

Jon's breath was weak, but he stubbornly refused to let go.

However, misfortune never comes alone, as there was a slight tremor in the elevator shaft.

At this moment, the little octopus had quickly slipped out of Yuan Ye's collar. He was extremely anxious and worried, wanting to carefully check on the young man's condition.

But at this moment, he once again heard the sound of countless tentacles wriggling rapidly.

The little octopus lowered its head and saw a sticky crimson color. His pupils suddenly dilated—

Those tentacled otherworldly creatures turned out to be chasing after them!!!

"..."

Yuan Ye was breathing rapidly and heavily, his pupils dilated sharply, his hands tightly covering his head as if enduring some extremely intense pain.

At this moment, countless broken fragments seemed to flash through Yuan Ye's mind, but he couldn't grasp any of them, nor could he see any of them clearly.

In the end, he only heard a very gentle sigh.

In that split second, Yuan Ye unconsciously clenched his chest tightly.

Who...

Who was sighing?

Fear, anger, panic, and resentment... These negative emotions, once erased by medicine, seemed to engulf him once again.

His Adam's apple moved stiffly, and he spoke hoarsely.

"Let go..."

Buzz—

Yuan Ye didn't wait for Jon's reply. Faint lines began to appear all over his body, not pure white, but somewhere between white and transparent.

The surrounding space seemed to have turned into glass, and those lines were like cracks before the glass shattered.

Let go?

The little octopus instinctively felt that Yuan Ye was not in the right state. He quickly extended his mental tentacles to check on the other party's condition, but the next second, the little octopus was caught by Yuan Ye's outstretched hand.

His grip was a little tighter, completely different from his usual gentle and careful touch. This made the little octopus feel uncomfortable under the pressure, causing him to immediately shrink his size a bit and struggle to breathe in the palm of the young man's hand.

Bang—

That was the sound of something breaking.

"Officer Yuan Ye—"

"Deacon Fang—!"

At the same time, from above came the man's exclamation of surprise and joy. Wei Jing gritted his teeth, pulled out the long knife, threw it down, and endured the intense pain as he continued to climb up.

At this moment, a man wearing a black cloak appeared at the opening of the corridor on the side wall above the elevator.

He squatted at the edge of the opening, maliciously and joyfully watching this scene.

At that moment, the little octopus felt a strong feeling of plummeting amidst Jon's frightened scream.

Although unable to see, he quickly guessed what was happening then.

—Yuan Ye fell.

They both fell together.

However, in the next second, the little octopus's pitch-dark vision suddenly brightened, and the intense sensation of plummeting abruptly shifted to the opposite extreme.

He saw Jon's flustered and fearful face getting closer and closer as the rope descended rapidly.

The little octopus realized that he was ascending rapidly. His blue pupils gradually widened, overflowing with shock.

Yuan Ye had forcefully thrown him up.

Ye Yunfan suddenly turned around.

The scene was like a slow-motion shot in a movie.

He saw the powerless falling youth, saw the countless scarlet tentacles behind that person, dancing wildly, swinging the densely packed eggs covered in bloody mucus.

The monsters were excited and ecstatic, eagerly preparing to compete for this newly arrived container from the sky.

The moment Yuan Ye was engulfed by countless blood-red tentacles, the fine threads between white and transparent solidified into a tangible form.

Countless white lines expanded horizontally and vertically, so densely packed that they even covered the piled blood-red heads of numerous otherworldly creatures, and then they extended toward the wall.

Crack, crack—

The sound of the building walls breaking rang out in succession, and the entire space began to violently tremble.

Grab.

The little octopus felt that he was caught by a hand, which had a cold and slightly slippery touch of scales on it, and this touch prevented him from breaking free immediately.

—This is not Jon's hand!

Ye Yunfan's expression was slightly blank, and in the next second, he met Captain Chen's clear and bright eyes. He didn't know when she had used a dagger to cut the rope that bound her to Jon, and she had even climbed onto the rope above him.

"I'm fine."

Captain Chen's voice was very steady, as if the fatal blow that had just hit her heart was just an illusion.

Ye Yunfan's mind went blank for a moment, but it seemed like he had figured something out.

But he had no intention of staying with the safe Captain Chen. Instead, he quickly slipped out of her palm, disregarding everything, and jumped in the direction of the falling Yuan Ye.

"!!!"

Captain Chen was shocked, seemingly not expecting the little jellyfish to follow and jump down. She instinctively tried to catch it but failed to grab hold, and could only give it up.

Because there were more important matters to attend to at the moment.

She looked up.

Without even having time to explain to Jon, she promptly grabbed the rope and swiftly ascended. Just when the man was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, thinking he had finally been rescued by a powerful ally, Chen Xinyue decisively used a dagger to stab his right arm, then tied and secured him with the rope.

The first live captive was captured.

Wei Jing's mind was blanked by the intense pain, causing him to scream nonstop.

"Ahhh...ugh."

But halfway through the scream, Captain Chen firmly pressed a hemostatic wrap onto him.

Yes, it's the one Jon stuck to her chest before.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

You... you...

His eyes widened in alarm, as if in disbelief.

But Captain Chen had no intention of explaining anything to him. She stepped directly on the man, swiftly ascending toward the top of the wall in the shaking and trembling passage.

But the cloaked figure that was crouching in place just half a minute ago was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it!"

Captain Chen gritted her teeth, clutching her chest.

Still a step too slow.

However, between chasing out to search everywhere and coming back to help Jon and guard the captured live captive, Chen Xinyue chose the latter.
