The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 177: Hysterical Experiments On The Brink Of Death

Facing Qi Ming, an extremely talented person, Frozen suddenly had an impulse to take him under his command.

After all, there were not many men with such talents in all of Beiqi. Being a man with a great vision, Frozen was as joyful as a hunter who had just found his next prey.

“You want me to join the Ice Snow Clan?” Qi Ming was stunned.

He instinctively took a glance at the list of quests. Noticing that there was no notification, he shook his head.

“Why? You’re looking down on the Ice Snow Clan?” Frozen suddenly looked mad as he rolled up his sleeves.

“No, no, no. I’m a member of the army of Beiqi. Besides, I am not one of your original members. How can I join the Ice Snow Clan?”

“So, what? You can swear by your soul, pledge your allegiance and loyalty to the Ice Snow Clan. You would immediately become one of us.”

Hearing this, Qi Ming stared at them with his widened eyes. Swearing on my soul is too wicked.

Although this was a game, Qi Ming dared not take this risk. After all, he knew how cult-like the game was, and he did not want to imagine the consequences he would have to face if the pledge came true.

Frozen was so aggressive, though, and Qi Ming had no idea how to deal with him.

After giving it another thought, he replied, “Clan leader, how about I kill those two first, before we discuss this matter again?”

After a few seconds of silence, Frozen nodded. He vanished and reappeared behind Qi Ming before he slapped him on the back.

“I have injected soul-eating worms into your body. I will remove them once you finish the task. Otherwise, seven days later, your soul will be eaten, and you will definitely die.”

When Frozen finished talking, Qi Ming felt a burn behind him, and then a notification appeared.

[Notification: You have been invaded by soul-eating worms and your soul has been infested with parasites.]

[Notification: Failed infestation. The soul-eating worms are gradually dying. Ten minutes until their death.]

Seeing the two notifications, Qi Ming grimaced as he looked at Frozen’s gloating face.

“Well, do you feel the pain from the burning of your soul? Now, the pain is still mild. If you kill those two people as soon as possible and bring their heads to me, I will resolve it for you. Otherwise, the pain will continue to intensify and you will suffer!”

Glowering, Qi Ming nodded. He threw a glance at the clock before he spoke nervously, “Clan leader, then I shall not delay. I’ll start at once, and will soon return with two heads!”

“Good! I’ll walk you there!”

In the blink of an eye, Frozen grabbed Qi Ming by his shoulder, and flew him away before they appeared at the entrance of Ice Snow Village.

After landing, Qi Ming cupped his hands together and bid adieu to Frozen, “Farewell, clan leader!”

Frozen nodded arrogantly and flew back into Ice Snow Village.

After Frozen left, Qi Ming immediately activated the Netherworld Ghost Step and ran toward the Arctic Abyss.

The soul-eating worms were about to die. He was afraid that Frozen could sense the worms’ death and capture him again. Without a second thought, he sprinted away from Ice Snow Village.

With a speed bonus of 500%, Qi Ming, who was in phantom mode, acted like a ghost as he shuttled quickly through the ice and snow.

Ten minutes later…

Another notification popped up in Qi Ming’s head.

[Notification: The soul-eating worms are dead!]

At the same time, standing at the top of the ice crystal cliff and admiring the ice sculpture below, Frozen shuddered before he revealed his ferocious face. All of a sudden, he rose in the air and swooshed toward the edge of the Arctic Abyss.

That was when he sensed the death of the soul-eating worms. He did not know how Qi Ming did it, but at the moment, he could not allow him to escape from the Arctic Abyss. Otherwise, he would not be able to guarantee that Qi Ming would obey him.

At that time, Qi Ming had run to the border of the Arctic Abyss. Looking at the outer world which was only less than a hundred yards away, Qi Ming accelerated his pace.

“Stop running!” an enraged voice rumbled behind his back.

Hearing the roar that was coming at him, Qi Ming sped up.

Just as Qi Ming crossed the border, Frozen appeared at the border.

Looking at Qi Ming who continued to sprint forward, Frozen paused in his tracks.

He stared at the blue ice crystal line that separated the Arctic Abyss from the outer world. Frozen grimaced as his subconscious told him to take a step forward and cross the line. However, he quickly retreated before he could even land his foot.

He only needed a few seconds to capture Qi Ming, but he knew the price he would have to pay for leaving the Arctic Abyss.

The last time he tried to leave, he was warned and threatened, saying that his legs would be fractured if he ever stepped out of the Arctic Abyss. Knowing North Sea, he instinctively knew that if he left, he would be killed, not just have his legs broken.

“Ahhhhh!” Frozen was so mad at the moment and he let out a cry angrily.

As he cried, the ice spikes around him were removed from the ground and turned the area into an ice prison.

Hearing the loud noise coming from behind, Qi Ming turned around, only to find an angry Frozen glaring at him from afar. Yet, he was thankfully not following him.

This puzzled Qi Ming, but he stopped and eyed Frozen up.

“Come back to me!” looking at Qi Ming, Frozen became furious again.

“Can’t you get out of that place?” Qi Ming asked curiously.

“Come back now!” Frozen did not answer his question. Instead, he shouted in fury.

“No way!”

After he learned that Frozen could not leave the Arctic Abyss, Qi Ming was immediately put at ease. He put on a smile.

“You ungrateful fellow, I gave you this inheritance!” there was hate in Frozen’s eyes.

“You have beaten me up, and I took a share of your inheritance, which makes us even. Besides, the two people you told me about were actually kind to me. How could I bite the hand that feeds me!?” Qi Ming said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Frozen was extremely upset. After all the time he had spent with these men, they were actually a group of people who came to steal his own inheritance. They are so shameless.

“Are you coming back or not?”

“No!”

“Do you believe that I’m going to come out and beat you to death?”

“I don’t believe you’ll do that!”

“Well, in that case, I will get you now!”

Angrily, he lifted his foot, intending to step out of the border. However, before his foot hit the ground, he quickly pulled it back, and he quickly checked his surroundings, as if to see if anyone was watching him.

After confirming that there was no one around, he raised his foot again and timidly extended it a little. But soon, he nervously pulled it back again.

Qi Ming was once again rendered speechless.

Frozen’s expression reminded Qi Ming of a picture posted by the players in the forum labeled with hysterical experiments on the brink of death.

Frozen now looked exactly like the man in the picture.

After five or six attempts, Frozen grit his teeth, and recklessly crossed the line, galloping toward Qi Ming.

Startled, Qi Ming quickly turned and sprinted.

Meanwhile, the smile on Frozen’s face slowly turned ruthless and ferocious…

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, Frozen was thrown back into the Arctic Abyss at a speed three times faster than the current land speed record.
