Chapter 122 121. I Can Help You!
Sam wasn\'t surprised by the structure of the room. It was a typical monitor with several screens, keyboards, wires, and a chair on which someone seemed to be sleeping. Since that person\'s back was facing him, he couldn\'t tell who it was at the moment.
But he was confident of one thing. It was a woman.
He narrowed his eyes and continued to walk onward without turning back. His steps paused just beside the chair as he glanced at the woman.
It was Nao.
His eyes opened wide in surprise. He knew it could be one among those people, but he didn\'t want Nao! Why was she torturing herself and others at the same time? And why was she here and inside the game at the same time?
Could it be the thing inside the game was a virtual game, and they had to be attached to the system by sleeping? He could see several wires attached to her body from head to toe.
If his hypothesis was true, then what about other people? What about the body of the teenager called Sam?
Sam frowned as he looked around. It could be seen that this room wasn\'t cleaned in a while. The dust had settled everywhere, but there weren\'t cobwebs anymore. So it could mean that even though the place wasn\'t clean, it at least wasn\'t abandoned.
Wasn\'t he supposed to destroy this place? He quickly took out a few bombs and placed them beneath the table full of screens. Then he stood up and pulled out the wires.
Since he was going to end this, he might as well get answers.
As soon as he pulled it all out, he saw Nao blinking as she frowned. She looked like her head was full of confusion as she glanced around only to find Sam in front of her eyes.
Her eyes visibly opened wide in shock. Then she recovered her wits soon enough as she jumped to her feet.
"You got out?"
Sam raised his brows. "What do you mean you got out? Don\'t try to fool me. I\'m not like those people inside that thing anymore. Now speak. Who are you? And why are you doing this?"
"Sam, please don\'t blame me indiscriminately for something I never did."
Sam sneered. "Sure. Prove me wrong then."
"Why are you hell-bent on blaming me? Do you think I can do this alone?"
"Women can do many things alone today. In what era are you living?"
Shane sighed and said, "Just bomb it. I\'m not curious anymore."
"But I\'m, so shut up."
Shane raised his brows. Why did he feel like Sam acted like a lady just now? A man like himself wouldn\'t involve himself in gossip. If he could solve the world faster, he would choose to do so. Since this was the monitor room, it goes without saying that destroying this place would be beneficial.
Sam stared coldly at the woman who was pretending to be innocent. Then he glanced at the screens that went blank all of a sudden. He sneered.
"Do you really want me to believe that? Just look at those screens. I could see the scene inside the game clearly before. But when you woke up, it was all blank. Do you take me for a fool?"
Nao\'s expression froze for a moment before she relaxed. A twisted smile formed on her lips. She leaned back on the table and tilted her head.
"Fine. I admit it was my doing, but what can you do?" She paused dramatically, glanced at the place where bombs were placed, and said, "Ah, you\'re not thinking of blowing this place, are you? Too bad. It\'s a fire relief room. Nothing can burn it."
Sam continued to stare at the woman with an \'I knew it\' kind of expression on his face.
"Tch, act like a teenager, will you?"
"But I don\'t think I was supposed to be a teenager in the first place."
Shane raised his brows again. It seemed like his host still had a hint that he wasn\'t actually Sam. Good. this person was interesting.
Ah, he wished he could get intelligent people every time he went on a job.
Nao ignored those words as she walked around the room. "Well, this place is mine. What right do you have to destroy it? In fact, you were also created by me. I made several characters and attached the souls of dead people from this place to make things more realistic. Then I\'d kill them all several times in that game. Oh, you know? Once you jumped to your death. How entertaining was that cycle!"
"You\'re sick," said Sam having a disgusted expression on his face. "You need medical help."
"That I do, but where will you find me a doctor? Hmm? Little boy?"
Sam just looked at her for a while before he sighed. "I have gotten my explanation. Time for you to die."
When Nao heard that, she let out a laugh. "Sure, sure. Burn me to death. What else can you do? That reminds me, how did you find yourself a bomb at that place? Huh? Got a secret? Tell me!"
Sam said nothing as he silently pulled out a sword from his inventory. He had purchased it earlier, along with other things. Back then, he knew this thing would be of some use. He was glad he got this.
He stared at the overconfident woman and sneered. "Are you ready?"
She looked at the sword that came out of nowhere in amazement. "Where did you take this out from? Do you have a hidden packet or something? Like Doraemon?"
Sam frowned. It seemed not everyone was a host here. Or maybe Nao, being a villain, was the only normal person without a system. He didn\'t reply to her anymore.
He simply stepped a few steps back and thrust the sword to the ground with force. Then he muttered a spell under his breath.
Nao, who was watching this, scoffed. "What nonsense! You\'ve got to be kidding me. You think you can make a crack here? Just like that? PFFT!!!!"
Sam didn\'t even spare her a glance as the sword\'s metal started glowing brightly.
When Nao saw that, her eyes widened. Even though the technology of this world had increased, she had never seen something like this before. How can there be magic present in this world?
That\'s right. This young man must be using some trick!
Nao\'s face turned cold as she stared at Sam\'s face. "You-"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt the ground beneath her feet trembling. She frowned and glanced at her feet.
The entire place looked normal at first until ripples appeared beneath her feet. The ripples kept growing until she started slipping inside the ground as if it had suddenly turned liquid.
Her eyes widened after seeing this. "You…. What the hell did you do to me?!"
"I didn\'t do anything," said Sam as he turned toward her. "Do you want to know my secret? Are you curious?"
Nao nodded subconsciously.
"I\'m not telling you."
Before the woman could reply, the ground suddenly turned into water, and the two fell inside. Then Sam uttered another spell through his mind. The whole place started glowing. The liquid metal glowed so much that it became hot as boiling water, burning their skin. Sam didn\'t even flinch as he saw Nao struggling. She tried to swim upward but failed because the metal was still heavier than normal water after transforming into liquid.
It was pretty challenging to swim freely without professional help.
Sam could feel his chest hurting. His body yearned to breathe, but he continued to be inside the metal as he watched everything related to metal turning into liquid.
What he did was simple: he only used a sword with a metal attribute and used the relative spell he had purchased to convert the metal into liquid. Not only that, but he also used another spell to make it boil so that it can destroy the entire place.
Sam knew that the entire world or realm was this tiny room floating in space. The world had been mostly destroyed, but this portion should remain.
How did Sam know these things? Good question.
Before losing consciousness, he smiled as he seemed to be in a good mood.
Shane, who was inside his host\'s mind, quickly kicked his partner\'s legs, who was still sleeping. Heck, why did she even bother to come here?! This woman was too much!
Then, the two of them soon returned to the system space. The hooded woman blinked as she glanced around. She yawned.
"What time is it?"
Shane narrowed his eyes. "Let\'s get out of here first."
The hooded woman nodded, and the two quickly got out of the system space. As soon as they got out, Shane quickly grabbed the hooded woman\'s arms and dragged her out. The woman was probably shocked after seeing this. She didn\'t react for a moment.
It wasn\'t until they were surrounded by the woods that Shane let go and glared at the hooded woman. "Let\'s break off the partnership. I\'m better off alone."
The hooded woman suddenly smiled as she leaned against the tree. "Ah, so this day has come. Mr. Shane Cooper, you\'re already in so much trouble with no one to back you up. Are you sure you want to break it off? I can help you, you know?"
