Shino raised her gun and fired, with Yago following closely behind. The two continuously forced Yulia's movement, but Yulia dodged and weaved, unable to find an opportunity to inject the vial.
Just as the standoff continued, Lily had already reached her, still unleashing a full-force heavy punch.
It was only then that the players finally reacted.
Damn it, counterattack! The counterattack starts now!
"Lily, I'm here to help you!"
"Go, Lily!"
At this moment, what could be more exhilarating and moving than seeing Lily break through skill control and send the seemingly invincible Yulia flying?
A large group of players rushed towards Yulia.
Cornered, Yulia suddenly opened her mouth and let out a sharp, piercing shriek from her throat.
Those further away were fine, but those closer felt themselves instantly sinking into a quagmire.
[You suffered a mental shock and are in a stunned state.]
Now is the time.
While everyone around was stunned, Yulia turned and tried to escape.
But Yago, who had been frustrated for so long, wouldn't let her escape so easily. He raised his gun, aimed, and with one shot, Yulia's left calf was pierced.
"-19"
Bang!
She tilted and fell to the ground.
"Don't let her run!"
Yago shouted.
In this situation, it seemed she truly couldn't escape, and as for experimental verification, there would be even less time to complete it.
After realizing this, Yulia gave up on escaping. She rolled over, her face showing neither despair nor anger.
Something's not right!
Lily heightened her vigilance. Against this type of skill-based BOSS, she couldn't relax for a moment, or she didn't know when the tables would turn.
She noticed Yulia was looking at her.
"You're Lily?"
Lily didn't reply, but instead gathered her strength, preparing to knock Yulia down with one punch.
"I don't have any medicine that can curb the insect tide on me. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to stop the insect tide from breaking out, but there's still an induced bait in the laboratory. If that induced bait can be used well, it might be possible to guide the insect tide elsewhere."
"You want to beg for mercy?"
"No." Yulia suddenly smiled, her eyes unusual. "I just hope you can survive, live until the next time I come to find you. I'm very interested in you now. To me, you are the most special one."
Lily felt a chill down her spine.
She began to suspect that this woman had some special preferences; otherwise, why would her gaze become so intensely eager after being thoroughly beaten by her?
Pervert!
What kind of person is this? No wonder she joined a crazy organization like the Truth Society.
She quickly rushed up and gave Yulia a punch.
This time, Yulia didn't resist at all and was directly knocked onto her back.
Yulia seemed even more excited after being hit.
How could she not be happy?
Lily had actually broken free from her control purely through anger. This had never happened since she awakened her ability. If she had the chance, she must capture Lily and study her thoroughly!
After landing three consecutive punches, Lily received a game prompt.
[You killed Yulia (Clone), contribution 69.2%. After correction based on level difference, you gained 15224 experience points.]
[You triggered the quest [Insect Tide Invasion]]
[Quest Description: The induced bait dumped by Aberrant Nine has attracted a tide of amoeba-like insects. If left unchecked, the Abandoned Cooling Plant is very likely to be destroyed by the insect tide.]
[Quest Objective: Find a way to stop the impending insect tide at the Abandoned Cooling Plant.]
[Reward: Rewards are determined by contribution.]
[Accept / Decline]
Lily was startled when she saw the first prompt.
Clone?
No wonder Yulia's reaction was so strange at the end, and no wonder she had never been able to use Spiritual Vision to check Yulia's data. Now she had truly provoked an incredible monster.
However, Lily wasn't too nervous.
She had already passed the most difficult period, raising her level and popularity. No matter how great the danger Yulia posed, could it be greater than when she first arrived in this world, completely clueless?
Instead of worrying about Yulia's revenge, it was better to see how much gold Yulia dropped for her this time.
15224 experience points was exaggerated, but this was clearly not all. There must be many good things hidden in that laboratory.
Lily jumped into the secret door without a word.
The moment her figure disappeared, the players outside cheered loudly.
"Awesome, Lily is awesome!"
"Haha, we won!"
"Lotus Sect forever!"
Excavation Princess didn't shout but quickly returned to her live stream.
The bullet comments were scrutinizing me and Lily, right? Well, this time I must scrutinize them back!
[You're right, but this is Lily, an NPC with a mysterious identity, beautiful appearance, and super strength. She has a heart of justice, always thinking of the players. Even when controlled by a BOSS, she will resist with all her might to avoid harming players. When she sees players injured by a BOSS, she will break free from control due to extreme anger and beat up the BOSS. Just ~ ask ~ who ~ else ~ can ~ do ~ that?!]
The live stream immediately fell silent.
A few seconds later, the entire virtual screen was filled with [Lotus Sect].
