Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 222 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (7)

Zhang Cheng's lips were clenched, and his brain was racing.

Given the uncertainty of Gu Nian's strength, Jiang Jiadong could protect himself, but the situation of the new team member, Xiao Wang, was worrying.

What's worse is that this person, like Gu Nian, is very uncontrollable, you could say inexplicable, and not very bright.

It's probably not realistic to run away with these few people.

Xu Zhongtian is currently positioned between the stairwell and the elevator, making it difficult for him to escape no matter which way he runs.

While he was pondering, Xu Zhongtian pounced on Shi Qi.

Gu Shijiu felt a burning sensation when she absorbed energy with her hands and didn't want to touch the ghost again.

He had no choice but to grab Jiang Jiadong with one hand and push him forward forcefully, blocking Shi Qi's way.

"Gu Nian, do you have any humanity?!" Why would a core member like him take the fall for a newbie?

Jiang Jiadong roared inwardly.

It was too late to stop him; Xu Zhongtian had already grabbed him while yelling, and Jiang Jiadong was being beaten on the ground.

If it weren't for a special defensive item he had, he would probably be dead by now.

With Jiang Jiadong taking the beating in front, Zhang Cheng had a chance to pull Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi back to room 1686.

"Alright, it's safe for now." Zhang Cheng quickly closed the door and drew a few lines on the inside of it.

Gu Shijiu hesitated, as if to say something but then asked, "Aren't you going to do anything about that man?"

Zhang Cheng nearly choked on his breath. Did he think he hadn't seen how Jiang Jiadong was sent flying...?

"It's alright, he won't die." Fortunately, he remembered his role as a protector of the people and didn't lose his temper on the spot.

"Oh, that's really impressive." Gu Shijiu rubbed her slightly reddened hands, which had been burned by the energy emanating from Xu Zhongtian.

Shi Qi pulled out a medicine box from somewhere and applied medicine to her recovering wounds, which made Zhang Cheng's teeth ache.

Seeing that the three were safe, Jiang Jiadong, who was being beaten, turned into a wisp of green smoke and then appeared in the living room of 1686.

Xu Zhongtian, who had lost sight of his target, looked quite confused and stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.

Jiang Jiadong not only escaped into the house, but also emerged completely unharmed.

Gu Shijiu watched the whole process on the display screen of the smart doorbell and was immediately amazed: "What kind of skill is this?"

"This is Jiang Jiadong's ability: atomization and recombination. Aren't you also an ability user? You should know this very well."

Zhang Cheng felt that something was wrong. This Gu Nian didn't even have basic common sense, yet she dared to come to such a dangerous place.

Ordinary people come here to explore and seek thrills because they are unaware of the level of danger.

However, those with abilities could clearly sense that the entire building was filled with negative energy, making it impossible to enter.

However, Gu Nian not only lived inside for two days, but was also completely unaffected, which was very strange.

"What are your abilities?" Zhang Cheng asked Gu Shijiu calmly.

"I don't have any special abilities, but I recover relatively quickly."

As cultivators, their physical strength is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Zhang Cheng neither said he believed it nor he didn't.

Gu Shijiu kept staring at Jiang Jiadong's head: "Didn't your head just now go flat? I thought you were dead."

Moreover, because he withstood Xu Zhongtian's attack for several dozen seconds, he should still have several wounds on his body.

Now, looking at it again, there isn't a trace left.

Jiang Jiadong got angry at this point: "You have the nerve to say that? Didn't you throw me out just now?"

Gu Shijiu said matter-of-factly, "He's too hot."

"You betrayed your teammates and you still have the nerve to talk back?" Jiang Jiadong was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

Gu Shijiu naturally denied it: "How did you become my teammate? My only teammate is him."

She pointed at Shi Qi.

Shi Qi was focused on applying the medicine to her, without even looking up.

"This is simply outrageous." Jiang Jiadong couldn't understand how a new employee who had just joined the organization had become Gu Nian's teammate.

Zhang Cheng pulled back his subordinate, who was yelling angrily, and said with a serious expression, "Stop arguing, let's think of a way to deal with that thing outside first."

"What's that outside? Is it Xu Zhongtian's ghost?" Shi Qi asked, seizing the opportunity.

“To be precise, he’s not a ghost, he’s a courier.” Zhang Cheng stared at the door of the room, his body blocking the way.

This touched on a blind spot in Gu Shijiu's knowledge: "What is a 'chang'?"

She asked Shi Qi in a low voice, but it was still overheard by the two sharp-eyed people next to her.

Jiang Jiadong scoffed: "Illiterate."

"It's probably something that follows the ghost, is controlled by him, and does things for him." Shi Qi guessed pretty accurately.

Zhang Cheng added, "Before the ghost controlling him is destroyed, the courier can be resurrected indefinitely. Even if we deal with Xu Zhongtian now, it won't help. We need to figure out what's behind him."

The screen showed Xu Zhongtian wandering alone in the corridor, seemingly searching for something.

"Team leader, what do we do now?"

Zhang Cheng didn't have any good ideas either. He looked at the special items in the room and thought about which one to use in the current situation.

Gu Shijiu also saw them: "Hey, these things look just like the ones in my room."

Their auras were consistent.

When she first arrived, she thought that all the items in the script had that strange aura, but now she realizes that only a small portion of them do.

"Where did these unusual items come from in your room?"

Jiang Jiadong was extremely envious; they needed to submit reports and applications to obtain approval for the temporary use of special items.

If this place weren't so dangerous, we'd be lucky to get approval for one or two items at most.

Gu Shijiu recalled: "It was there when I moved in. I was wondering why they were making such a fuss every night. Turns out it was equipment."

"What props? These are called special items. Each one has a different function and can be used to deal with ghosts and monsters," Jiang Jiadong said with dissatisfaction.

Gu Shijiu said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

Seeing her casually pick up a rocking horse and play with it, Zhang Cheng quickly stopped her: "It's very dangerous to touch these spiritual objects with your bare hands without permission."

"Huh?" Gu Shijiu looked up.

Zhang Cheng looked at the unusual item that appeared perfectly normal and shut his mouth.

Jiang Jiadong watched in amazement.

"Since these can deal with that ghost outside, why not throw them out?"

Gu Shijiu was very curious and placed her hand on the doorknob.

Zhang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling: "Don't open the door!"

Gu Shijiu lowered her hand with some regret: "Then opening the window shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zhang Cheng and Jiang Jiadong didn't hear those words because Xu Zhongtian outside suddenly started attacking the gate.

The talisman drawn on the door was clearly not holding up; the red light flickered for a moment before dimming again.

Seeing that no one spoke, Gu Shijiu assumed it was okay to open the window and quickly threw out a few special items from the small window in the living room that faced the hallway.

"Puppet! Carousel! Snow Princess!!!" Jiang Jiadong's heart was bleeding.

"No!!" Zhang Cheng exclaimed incredulously.

As things gradually quieted down outside, Gu Shijiu turned to look at the two of them: "I told you it would work."

They are useful, and they are all priceless treasures.

Zhang Cheng was speechless.

Those special items that Gu Shijiu had dug out were also in a bad situation.

These spirits possess the ability to think.

They realized that the human in front of them was going to throw everyone out to deplete the firepower of that terrifying-looking behemoth outside.

That's really unfair.

An old-fashioned dressing case was quietly hidden behind a teddy bear as tall as a person, trying to conceal its body;

The teddy bear quietly moved two steps to the side, revealing the dressing case behind it;

A mirror was placed nearby, its surface aligned with the kitchen knife diagonally opposite, ensuring that Gu Shijiu could see the knife in the mirror whenever she looked up...

Gu Shijiu wanted to continue throwing things out, but Zhang Cheng quickly stopped her: "Our reinforcements will be here soon, so there's no need to use any more special items."

Even if an organization is large and powerful, it can't withstand such turmoil.

"Aren't you the best in your group?" Gu Shijiu remembered that he was the team leader.

“Everyone’s abilities are different. Jiang Jiadong’s abilities are all related to space.”

Zhang Cheng explained in detail: "The marks left by capable people in the corridors will form an independent space as long as the marks are triggered at numbers 14 and 24."

Once Xu Zhongtian is led into the stairwell, he'll just wander around aimlessly; he'll disappear on his own after the dangerous period ends.

At this point, his phone beeped twice.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, reinforcements will be here soon. Now we just need to wait for Xu Zhongtian to be led into the stairwell."

He paused abruptly as he finished speaking.
