Excessive ferocity due to caution

beep--

A piercing siren blared throughout the factory.

It is somewhat similar to an air raid siren.

Chen Fei's expression tightened.

"Something's wrong! There's a problem at the factory!"

"All security personnel and those in red uniforms must assemble!"

"Brother, I'm leaving now. Make sure you keep this ledger safe; I need to return it to them later!"

Zhao Yi frowned slightly and said to Chen Fei:

"Don't rush, I'll leave something in your mind."

Chen Fei was stunned.

"What is it?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"Something that can prevent your wound from rusting... Relax."

"Don't resist... Yes, that's it, I'm coming in..."

He met Chen Fei's gaze, and the red light in his eyes gradually intensified. Chen Fei was in a daze, as if he had lost his consciousness. After a few seconds, he recovered.

Zhao Yi said:

"I've left a 'lock' on your mental world. The reason the people in the factory rust is mainly because their minds have been invaded. Now, if you encounter danger, you can go all out and do something big!"

Admiration and gratitude appeared in Chen Fei's eyes. He thanked Zhao Yi and left quickly.

Zhao Yi tidied up the steel sales records, stood at the door, and looked at the tall tower in the center of the factory that was emitting alarms.

"Has anyone already realized that there's a big problem going to happen at the factory?"

"That's good news... There were just too many rusty corpses at the factory today. If someone is willing to help deal with them, it will save me a lot of trouble."

He took out his phone, called the security office, and made the call as described in Rule 10.

...

[10. There are no people wearing black clothes in the factory!!! If you see anyone wearing black clothes in the factory, please call security immediately and stay where you are until security personnel apprehend the person wearing black clothes!]

...

"Hello? This is employee Zhao Yi... Yes, I've encountered someone in black."

"It took me to the factory's underground, and I was so scared! (Powerful and resonant)"

"The entrance is inside the steel smelting chamber, you enter through the mouth of that giant human head."

"Okay... I'll wait for you. Hurry up!"

Zhao Yi hung up the phone.

Then I called Liu Jie.

"The security team might come down sometime today, so find a quiet place to hide."

The background noise on Liu Jie's end was already very serious, and the deep, resonant drumbeats were becoming more and more powerful and the rhythm was getting faster and faster!

"...Sizzle..."

"Big brother... *sizzle*..."

"this……"

It was no longer easy to hear what it was saying.

Left with no other choice, it could only send a message to Zhao Yi.

Those rusty corpses... began to move...

【and……】

Liu Jie didn't know how to describe what he was seeing, so he sent Zhao Yi a short video.

An extremely terrifying video.

In the video, an altar can be seen in the distance.

The surroundings were hollow and completely dark.

Thin chains descended from the sky, hanging from one rusty corpse after another...

Above the altar, three extremely thick iron chains held... a black heart as large as a multi-story building!

It's not hard to guess that the drumming sound Zhao Yi heard earlier came from this heart!

"No...this heart...should be secured by four chains!"

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

The three chains extend in the directions of the three corners of a square.

This suggests that when the builders constructed this altar, they left four chains to bind the heart, but for some unknown reason, one of the chains broke.

This construction method is exactly the same as the abandoned train station in Moye Village.

First, build a super scary thing.

Then use something to restrain it.

The underground warehouse was what originally bound the station ghost.

And this heart is also connected by four chains.

But all of them encountered unexpected problems.

As for whether this accident was caused by human intervention... that's hard to say.

"So, the factory decayed because...one of the chains that once bound this heart was missing!"

...

[Congratulations to player Zhao Yi for completing the main quest "Investigating the Truth Behind the Corruption of the Steel Processing Plant". Rewards will be distributed after the dungeon ends.]

You have triggered a hidden quest – Sealing the 'Blitzcrank's Heart'

[Mission Rewards: Bloodline Crystal (Green), Title 'Steel Straight Man', 30000 points.]

The hidden quest is quite difficult; you can choose to abandon it. Abandoning the hidden quest will teleport you directly out of the instance!

...

"The owner of that heart was named Blitzcrank...that doesn't sound like a human name..."

Zhao Yi stroked his chin.

Then I casually accepted the hidden quest.

I would never back down.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great appetite.

Not taking such a generous reward would be the act of a bastard.

At this moment, Liu Jie sent another message to Zhao Yi.

"Brother...those corpses...they're all moving..."

Zhao Yi replied:

"Find a place to hide, and I'll handle the rest."

After finishing, Zhao Yi quickly sent a message to Chen Fei.

He explained most of the things to Chen Fei and gave him instructions for the next step. Then Zhao Yi returned to the abandoned storage room, locked the door, and sat down quietly.

He had a really fun idea as early as yesterday.

Now... we can finally put it into action.

The sharp scalpel flips at the fingertips.

A wound appeared on Zhao Yi's arm.

Expose it to the air and wait for about half a minute.

In the darkness, a colossal entity set its sights on Zhao Yi.

A terrifying mental force invaded Zhao Yi's mental world, and he gradually relaxed, allowing this force to penetrate.

So rust began to slowly grow on his arm...

...

The outskirts.

This is Zhao Yi's mental world.

Normally, no one pays any attention to it.

The Red Devil, carrying a small basket, wearing a little red hat, humming a nursery rhyme, is picking mushrooms by the abyss.

These are the catalysts of chaos and resentment, which are tonics for her.

Suddenly, she raised her little head and looked up at the giant eye of the storm with a strange expression.

Boom!

A bolt from the blue struck; a red lightning bolt flashed by.

The next moment, countless rusty and dilapidated robots appeared in Zhao Yi's mental world!

It stretches as far as the eye can see!

Their eyes glowed green, and their bodies exuded an extremely terrifying oppressive force!

The dark figures bound to the bronze pillar in the distance trembled with fear!

The robot army was arrayed in formation, seemingly ready to charge at this head of hair at any moment!

Red Devil's face was grave as she hesitated whether to run away when a pair of hands suddenly pressed down on her shoulders.

She looked up and saw a pair of eager eyes and an incredibly excited smile.

"This will be a fierce battle..."

"If you don't want to die... then come with me and fight to the death!"
