"?"

Confused, it asked, "Who turned off the outside lights?"

The door opened, but only a dark figure blocked everything.

Then a thick, strong hand suddenly reached out and grabbed its neck.

Then another dizzying sensation.

It was brought out, and a bunch of dangerous eyes were fixed on it.

And then a Minion walked over, holding a watch, and coughed:

"Want to join the Three Watchers? Nod for yes, shake for die."

?

Half a minute later.

The number of people in the Midnight Squad has increased by 1 again.

The deeper you go into the corridor, the faster the recruitment process becomes.

Watching this scene, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Really..."

"I've never seen anything like this before."

He used to grind dungeons, but it wasn't this easy. He always had to be fully prepared and extremely careful.

Things wouldn't be like they are now.

There's no need to lift a finger. The team simply stands at the entrance, their aura spreading out, and whether the contained creatures inside resist or not, the only outcome is surrender, and they pack their bags and join the team.

Those who stubbornly resist will only get beaten up.

Shen Ye barely made a move throughout the entire process, simply walking at the front of the group and constantly observing his surroundings.

Lin Xiaoyu and Lu Yuan went from being shocked at first to gradually becoming numb. Now they can even skillfully go forward to register the information of new members. Lu Yuan even carries cigarettes with him and offers one to every new member he meets. He is as skilled as someone who has been doing human resources for more than ten years.

The long procession grew longer and longer, gradually expanding from the initial eight contained objects to more than twenty, thirty, and so on... More than half of the containment chambers on the third floor were completely cleared.

They also encountered some pollutants that could be used as ordinary tools, which posed no threat as they were just common items. Lu Yuan and Lin Xiaoyu were extremely excited.

The line stopped when they reached the door of containment cell number 009.

The room was filled with dull thuds, "thump, thump, thump," each one causing the walls to crumble slightly, accompanied by the creaking of metal straining under the weight, as if something inside was frantically attacking something.

“Those inside are from Magic Shield.” Lu Yuan’s gaze flickered as he looked at the information on his bracelet.

......

Meanwhile, inside the containment chamber, a completely different scene unfolded.

The two members of the Magic Shield were standing back to back, supporting a black circular light shield with a diameter of two meters.

The shield had a dark, matte finish and looked incredibly heavy, but its surface was covered with dense cracks, like glass that could shatter at any moment.

"Boom!"

Another heavy blow slammed into the shield, and the two men groaned in unison, staggering back half a step, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.

"Damn it... why is this containment object so troublesome?" Aga gritted his teeth, the muscles in his arms trembling.

Pu An, who was holding the shield, also looked very bad, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat: "The difficulty of the Divine Cube dungeon is dynamically matched... It will adjust the difficulty based on the total number of people entering the dungeon, their average strength, and even the pollution value they bring. This time, four teams have entered, so there must be too many people, so the difficulty has naturally increased."

"That's an outrageous claim!" Aga exclaimed urgently. "Our Black Yuan Shield is a perfect quality item. If we keep ramming it like that, it will shatter in a minute at most!"

They're barely holding on thanks to the Black Yuan Shield. They thought they could hold out until the captain came to their rescue, but the monster just kept getting stronger, and the shield's energy was being consumed much faster than expected.

"Where did the captain and the others go..." Aga's voice tightened, "Could something have happened to them too?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Pu An interrupted him in a deep voice, "The captain, along with Raven and the captain of Tianfang, went to find the mortal items they need. The signal must have been blocked. Let's hold on a little longer until they find us..."

"Boom!"

Another loud bang rang out, this time the terrifying force causing even more obvious cracks to appear in the Black Yuan Shield, and both of their expressions darkened.

"Get ready."

Knowing they couldn't hold out much longer, they prepared for a desperate fight to see if they could escape from the room.

And just as the cracks were multiplying and it was about to break apart.

The sounds of impact outside suddenly stopped.

The sudden silence startled both of them.

The room was instantly filled only with the heavy breathing of the two people. The monster that had been frantically smashing its shield just moments before vanished without a trace, leaving no sound whatsoever.

"Why did it stop?" Aga tensed up. "Did that monster run out of energy?"

“Impossible.” Pu An frowned deeply, his eyes filled with vigilance. “Could it be a feint, waiting for us to withdraw our shields and launch a sneak attack?”

“But our shield energy is almost depleted…” Aga smiled bitterly. “Even if it doesn’t attack, it won’t be able to hold out for another minute.”

Pu An remained silent, staring intently at the dark shield and listening to the sounds outside.

Just then.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Three steady taps came from outside the shield.

The force was not strong, and the rhythm was slow. It didn't feel like a monster's frantic ramming; rather, it felt like someone knocking on a door.

Both of them felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

Aga gripped the short knife at his waist, his muscles tense.

A voice came from outside the shield, clearly transmitted even through a layer of light:

"You two are safe now, stop hiding."

Aga was stunned: "It's Lu Yuan! I recognized his voice!"

"We've received reinforcements!"

Pu An also breathed a sigh of relief. They had previously agreed that whoever obtained the mortal item first would immediately support the others.

“It shouldn’t just be Lu Yuan. I heard other noises too. It seems everyone else has finished, and we’re the only ones stuck in danger.” Pu An gave a wry smile.

The fact that the people from Tianfang were able to come and resolve the dangerous containment object so quickly can only mean that everyone was mobilized for the battle.

"Release it."

The light shield slightly opened, allowing outside light to filter in.

The first thing they saw was Lu Yuan's face; he was smiling and waving at them.

The two had just breathed a sigh of relief when, a second later, their gazes passed over Lu Yuan and fell upon the scene behind him. Their hearts, which had just settled, instantly leaped into their throats again, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.

The entrance was completely blocked.

A three-meter-tall, bluish-white giant; a rock-like, muscular man; a white-dressed female ghost floating in mid-air; a multi-armed monster crawling on the ceiling; floating eyeballs the size of washbasins...

A vast, swarming mass of creatures, each emanating a thick, polluted aura and revealing their menacing nature.

At the very front, leaning against the doorframe, stood a strange Minion holding a pack of cigarettes.

Do you smoke?

Chapter 101 Everyone Has Their Own Hidden agendas!

By this time, the team of the Three Watchers had expanded, so they immediately began to divide into groups of ten containment objects to increase efficiency.

The people from Magic Shield and Sky Cube followed at the back of the Minions.

And it took almost five minutes to walk.

Pu An was still a little dazed.

All around were containment objects of various shapes and sizes. Some were crawling on the ceiling, some were floating in mid-air, and others were following on both sides with heavy steps, but they did not cause any disturbance and were all unusually well-behaved.

As the group moved forward, monsters from the containment rooms along the way were pulled out one by one, either nodding to join or being beaten up before joining.

This is all too exaggerated.

Aga raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead; his fingertips were still trembling slightly.

Not a buddy.

"Did I really survive that battle?"

Lu Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "You'll get used to it."

"Can you really get used to this?"

Aga's lips twitched as he looked at the scene before him.

A faint female voice drifted from mid-air: "Is there any more smoke?"

Lu Yuan smiled broadly, immediately pulled out a slim menthol cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to her: "Here you go, sis! You still smoke slim cigarettes, right? I specially saved this for you."

The cigarette automatically hovered to the ghost's lips, a faint spark igniting as it exhaled a pale white smoke ring.

Aga and Puan: "..."

As the group moved forward, a rustling crawling sound suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

Everyone looked up and saw a black hairy spider, as big as a minivan, carrying two people on its back, crawling rapidly toward them. The two people were covered in white spider silk, wrapped up like dumplings, with only their eyes showing.

The spider crawled up to the group and gently set them down with a soft thud.

"Um... I'm a new member, I've already registered."

The black spider had obvious signs of being beaten, indicating it had already gone through the induction process. With a bruised and swollen face, it grinned obsequiously at the Minion and said:

"Team leader."

"I did not know that these two were the captain's teammates. I have been negligent in my duties. Please forgive me, captain."

The Minion glanced at the two people who were tightly bound together, and confirmed that they were indeed the team members Shen Ye had mentioned: "It's alright, as long as you haven't made any major mistakes, untie them."

"Hey!"

The two Raven team members fell to the ground. Although they had been untied, they still dared not move. They looked around at everything, their faces still showing shock.
