Strange Rules of the Game: Starting with Playing Little Grey Wolf!

Allen is a ruthless guy. Since he's going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble.

He suddenly pointed to the other side of the laboratory and shouted:

"Village Chief! Your petri dish is leaking! The most important experimental subject is about to escape!"

Slow Sheep was startled and subconsciously turned around.

In that very instant.

Allen suddenly grabbed a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid from the lab table and smashed it hard at the two mechanical sheep guards.

"Bang!"

The bottle shattered, and sulfuric acid splashed out.

Although it wouldn't cause fatal damage to the mechanical sheep, it was enough to temporarily paralyze their visual system.

"Run!"

Allen roared and dragged Su Mu into the secret chamber inside.

"Catch...they..."

Slow Sheep realized what was happening and roared angrily.

But it was too slow. By the time it turned around, the two of them had already slipped into the half-open door to the secret chamber.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The two rushed into the secret room and immediately locked the door.

It was a smaller laboratory, but what was inside caught Su Mu's eye.

In the center of the room stood a huge computer, its screen flashing with complex data streams. Beside the computer sat a silver briefcase.

The suitcase had a red skull logo printed on it, along with a line of small print:

[The ultimate weapon design blueprint, a fusion of Grey Wolf Technology and Sheep Village Biotechnology.]

"Found it!"

Su Mu was overjoyed.

Isn't this the hidden reward the system was hinting at? As long as I get this, I can not only complete the mission, but also take it back to change the fate of the country!

But just as he reached out to take the box...

Allen, who had always been taciturn, suddenly stood in front of him.

At this moment, Allen held a scalpel that he had somehow found, and looked at Su Mu with icy eyes.

"Little Grey... no, Su Mu."

Allen called out that name, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"This thing is mine now."

Su Mu's hand, which had been hovering in mid-air, froze.

He looked at Allen, not angry at all, but with a playful smile on his face.

"Oh? You know who I am too?"

"certainly."

Allen said coldly

"I've had my suspicions ever since you saved me in my dream. How could a wolf possibly have human logic? That 'agent' thing you said just now gave you away."

"I was originally planning to use you to prolong my life, but now that the ultimate reward is right in front of me..."

Allen gripped the scalpel tightly.

"In this game, there can only be one winner. That's me, the Royal Agent of the British Empire, Number 007."

Su Mu sighed.

"Did you know that villains usually die from talking too much?"

"and……"

Su Mu pointed behind Allen

"Are you sure it's just the two of us here?"

Allen was startled and turned around abruptly.

From the shadows of the secret room, a huge figure slowly emerged.

It was... a creature whose entire body was made of machinery, and whose eyes glowed red...

Mechanical Sheep Captain.

"Intruder... detected. Execution... erasure procedure."

The mechanical sheep raised its arm, which was a laser cannon brimming with energy.

"boom!"

A blinding white light instantly filled the entire room.

A split second before the light burst forth, Su Mu had already rolled under the table and grabbed the silver briefcase.

As for Allen...

"ah--!!!"

After a scream, the world fell silent again.

Su Mu hugged the box, looked at the pile of still-smoking ashes on the ground, and shook his head helplessly.

"I've already told you, you only get the spoils if you cooperate with me. Why are you so stubborn and insist on taking it all for yourself?"

"That's good, they can just cremate him."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for eliminating the British Empire player (Allen).]

[Rewards: All attributes +20, Special item: Ultimate Weapon Blueprint (Fragment).]

[Current exploration progress of the Sheep Village instance: 80%]

"Sizzle—"

The residual heat of the laser cannon still lingered in the air, and the pile of ashes that originally belonged to Alan, the top agent of the British Empire, was now emitting a foul, burnt smell.

Su Mu, clutching the heavy silver briefcase, huddled in a corner of the metal lab table, his heart pounding.

If it weren't for his quick reaction and that unlucky Allen drawing the fire, there would be a lot more ashes now.

"Intruder...deleted...re-scanning..."

The mechanical sheep captain's electronic eyes emitted red fan-shaped beams, sweeping back and forth across the room. The cold, mechanical voice was devoid of any emotion, carrying only pure commands of killing.

Su Mu held his breath and pressed himself tightly against the cold ground.

This mechanical sheep captain is clearly far superior to the ordinary ones out there. Its outer shell is made of some kind of dark gold alloy, which is not only bulletproof but also probably immune to ordinary electric shocks.

"Vital signs detected... under the table..."

The red light stopped at the edge of the table where Su Mu was hiding.

"We've been discovered!"

Su Mu was startled. The mechanical eye's penetrating power was too strong!

"Execute... Annihilation!"

The mechanical sheep captain raised his arm, and the cannon muzzle once again flashed a blinding white light.

At this critical moment.

Su Mu suddenly pulled out the "Pretty Sheep's Makeup Setting Spray" that he had taken from art class earlier from his schoolbag and sprayed it hard on the mechanical sheep's joints.

"Let you taste the price of beauty!"

"laugh--!"

White glue instantly covered the mechanical sheep's arm joints.

"Click... System error... Joint stuck..."

The mechanical sheep's movements suddenly froze. Although the cannon shot was fired, it slammed directly onto the floor because its arm couldn't be raised.

"boom!"

The ground was blasted into a large crater, and debris flew everywhere.

Taking advantage of the gap, Su Mu, carrying the box, sprang out from under the table like a cannonball and rushed toward the only ventilation duct in the secret room.

Goodbye!

Su Mu used both hands and feet to nimbly crawl into the ventilation duct.

But before he could even catch his breath, alarms suddenly blared throughout the entire sheep village.

"Waaaaah—waaaah—"

The sound was shrill and piercing, and the red alarm light shone through the gaps in the ventilation openings, turning the entire duct a blood-red hue.

The exasperated voice of Village Chief Slow Sheep came over the loudspeaker:

"Alarm! Alarm! Core laboratory stolen! Level 1 lockdown activated!"

"Close all exits! Release...poison gas! Release...hunter drones!"

"Catch that... thief! I'm going to... turn him into a specimen!"

Su Mu cursed under his breath.

That old man reacted really quickly!

A faint green smoke began to rise from the ventilation duct. Su Mu took a sniff and felt dizzy.

Nerve gas!

"Damn it, this sheep village leaves no way for people to survive!"

Su Mu quickly pulled a wet towel out of his backpack, covered his mouth and nose, and frantically crawled through the pipe.

Ahead lies a fork in the road.

The roar of a fan came from the left, while there was deathly silence on the right.

Which side should I choose?

Su Mu hesitated for a second.

As is typical in horror movies, quiet places are usually haunted.

"Let's take a gamble! Go left!"
