Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 162: Haste breeds chaos
To rule out a problem with the instance itself, Jiang Ran even opened the skill page and found that all the skills were working fine and there was no indication that they couldn't be opened.

So what exactly happened to Xiaobai?
Considering the restriction that the puppet cannot leave its master by 100 meters, if he was indeed forcibly taken away by the Holy Maiden and her group, Jiang Ran would definitely be pulled along as well, unless they were nearby.

Since she's perfectly fine, it means that Xiaobai has either completely disappeared or is nearby.

She tried calling out twice: "Xiaobai? Are you nearby? If so, give me a hint."

But the air was silent, and no one responded to Jiang Ran's words.

She thought for a moment, then took out paper and pen and placed them on the table in the room: "Can I write here?"

The pen suddenly hovered in mid-air and slowly wrote on the paper: "Master, I seem to be... becoming a little strange."

Jiang Ran's eyes lit up: There's hope.

But what does it mean to become a little strange?
Xiaobai continued writing: "I feel like I'm not myself anymore... My actions are somewhat out of control."

Jiang Ran asked in confusion, "How could the puppet be out of control? Did you encounter any unusual situations when you entered the dungeon?"

The words on the paper, written stroke by stroke, read: "I keep thinking... I want to bite you, to eat you up piece by piece. It's terrifying, but I can't control myself. I try to talk to you, but you can't see me or hear my voice."

“I dare not get too close to you, I’m afraid I’ll lose control.”

Upon seeing what Xiaobai said, Jiang Ran's face flushed with anger.

She was certain that Big Eyes was responsible for this!
Jiang Ran had some idea of ​​why the previous instance ended inexplicably; it was simply because she had exposed Big Eyeball's weakness, and it was angry.

Despite bearing the title of a god, it's unclear how much influence the giant eyeball has on the game. Although it is subject to rules in dungeons, when it truly becomes enraged, the game world seems to tremble.

Jiang Ran suddenly realized that the reason why the big eyeball was willing to abide by the rules of the instance was probably simply because forcibly interfering with the operation of the rules would require it to pay a considerable price.

But it is unwilling to pay that price.

But when Jiang Ran completely threatens what it cares about most, those costs may not be so important compared to getting rid of Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran's only question was, if it wanted to deal with her directly, why didn't it target her directly? Instead, it went after Xiao Bai.

Is it because they think she won't be wary of newbies? Or is it simply a result of game balancing?

No one could answer these questions for Jiang Ran, but she couldn't keep such an invisible threat as Xiao Bai by her side.

She naturally believed that Xiaobai would not betray her willingly, but no one could say for sure whether he could remain conscious forever.

Jiang Ran tried using flour or paint to make Xiaobai visible, but clearly, Xiaobai's invisibility was not what she had imagined.

Little White seemed to have transformed into a true ghost...

Jiang Ran suddenly realized that this might also be related to the content of this instance?
What we can see now is that the dungeon will likely contain a lot of content related to the supernatural.

As for Xiaobai's state, it may have been directly changed to a bizarre design, so he cannot touch himself, but he can touch what he wants to touch.

To be honest, this tactic really seems like a last resort.

She didn't know how Big Eyes had managed to target Little White so precisely, and she wasn't even sure if her identity had been completely exposed.

Or perhaps this move was originally intended for the "young lady"?

After all, when Jiang Ran opened the world channel, she didn't find anyone discussing the relationship between "Miss" and "Jiang Ran".

If Big Eyes truly saw through her identity, the Holy Maiden wouldn't let the news go. In any case, Little White has likely shielded Jiang Ran from another disaster.

"Master, please lock me up. I don't want to hurt you."

Xiao Bai quickly wrote another sentence.

He seemed to be enduring something, and his handwriting changed from being neat and orderly to being somewhat hurried and messy.

Jiang Ran wanted to lock him up, but she couldn't even touch him, so where could she lock him up?
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ran suddenly asked, "Xiao Bai, when I went into the consciousness space to deal with Xu Tian and the others, did you go in with me?"

Two words appeared on the paper: "No".

But he quickly understood Jiang Ran's meaning: "Master, do you want to put me into your consciousness space? But I'm worried that they've planted something on me. What if their real purpose is to corrupt your consciousness space with me?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback.

From the moment she entered this instance, she encountered Jiang Man, Xu Tian, ​​and two others, which inevitably affected her emotions.

Especially the appearance of Jiang Man...

She is a human being, not a machine. Even though those experiences have made her unable to easily trust others, the person standing there is her mother.

How could there be no fluctuations at all?

When she discovered that Xiaobai had mysteriously disappeared, she panicked and panicked.

If it weren't for Xiaobai's reminder, she would have rashly thrown Xiaobai into the consciousness space. With the pollution ability of the big eyeball, even with resistance, this place is directly connected to Jiang Ran's mental level, and no one can guarantee whether she can resist it.

As a puppet, Xiaobai doesn't have many emotions, which makes it easier for her to see things she might overlook.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ran finally realized the viciousness of the interconnected scheme.

The big eyeball might not know Xiaobai's identity, but it knew that Xiaobai was the closest to Jiang Ran.

He was even the one she trusted most.

Such a trusted partner struggles to say that he is out of control, yet he has no physical form, cannot be seen or touched, and has no way to defend himself.

The best solution, then, is exactly what Jiang Ran thought: try to lock it in the consciousness space.
Even with this in mind, the problem at hand remains unsolved.

Suddenly, Xiaobai wrote a message: "Master, perhaps I can try to crawl into the bodies of those dark figures outside."

Upon seeing Xiaobai's words, Jiang Ran's first reaction was to object.

Who knows what those shadowy figures are made of? If we rashly go in, and Xiaobai loses his self-awareness and gets mixed up with the shadowy figures, Jiang Ran will have no way to find him.

But Xiaobai said, "Master, I sensed a familiar scent on those dark figures. I feel that their bodies... seem somewhat similar to mine."

Jiang Ran suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai's body was made from a lump of bouncy material.

According to Xiaobai, he would also find it difficult to die.

As long as Jiang Ran is still alive, his body can be repaired, and the puppet will not truly die.

This does resemble those dark figures.
