Chapter 701 The Bracelet of Desire? The Bracelet of Death!

"Wu perished, shouldn't that be written in the contract?"

"The Desire Bracelet will be worn for life after joining the company."

"What makes it so impossible for anyone to remove it? Even you, the Descendants, can't take it off?"

Li Shuang looked at the mark on her bracelet that shimmered with a grayish-white light and asked softly.

Wu Wang merely raised an eyebrow at this.

He already knew the answer to the question.

A few days ago, he stayed up all night researching the bracelet with the artificial intelligence [Bai], and thoroughly figured out how it worked.

"The bracelet is made of some kind of special metal, right? It's probably a local specialty."

"After prolonged contact with the human body, it exhibits a phenomenon of material assimilation, to the point that after wearing the Desire Bracelet for a certain period of time, it is no longer worn on the wrist, but rather becomes a part of the hand."

"Not only that, it seems to be connected to the soul. When I can feel my spiritual energy flowing through my whole body, it will also cover the bracelet."

At this point, Wu Wang reached out and stroked the surface of the bracelet.

Although it still felt metallic, he had a sensation as if he were rubbing his own wrist.

For the NPCs inside the dungeon, wearing this thing might really be a lifelong commitment.

Even from a player's perspective, it's difficult to break free from it, and if you're not careful, there could be long-term consequences. After all, it's intertwined with mental energy, and no one wants to treat their soul roughly.

His words surprised Li Shuang.

I never expected that this guy would have such a thorough understanding of the Desire Bracelet after only a few days on the job.

She only discovered the unique features of the Desire Bracelet after an accident.

Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible to find any information about the production of the bracelet in the factory.

Seeing her expression, Wu Wang smiled.

It's not fair to blame the other person for lacking imagination. Any normal person would probably find it hard to imagine that, in order to research the Desire Bracelet, they had attempted suicide countless times in one night, to the point that the area where the bracelet was worn would have been cut into sashimi.

It's estimated that the bracelet will only automatically fall off after players complete this dungeon.

After all, whether it's taking over the factory or liberating it, it means that the factory no longer poses any threat to the player, so the bracelets it produces will naturally become invalid.

Suddenly, Li Shuang's expression turned ruthless, and she clenched the bracelet tightly around Wu Wang's hand.

"Unfortunately, knowing what it's all about would only make you more desperate now."

"Because you will realize that you have nowhere to escape."

call--

When she said those words, Wu Wang found his breathing became rapid, or more accurately, as if his respiratory system had suddenly stopped working.

It felt like there was a raging fire burning inside my lungs, making it impossible to transport oxygen to other parts of my body.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

His face immediately turned red.

He coughed and staggered a few times, his body extremely unsteady.

Finally, he had to lean against the wall of the ventilation duct to barely keep himself upright.

"Oh~ You self-righteous yet pathetic descendant, didn't expect that, did you?"

"I can control other people's bracelets and make their bodily functions stop working!"

"I forgive you for deceiving me..."

"You'll pay with your life!"

Li Shuang sneered and mocked.

As she closed her hands, she pulled with all her might.

In an instant, Wu Wang felt his vision blur and his blood rush to his head. His eyes began to fill with blood vessels, and traces of blood oozed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

These are symptoms of extreme blood congestion in the brain.

He's about to die suddenly from a cerebral hemorrhage!

"After you die, I will cut open your abdomen and take out the USB drive. You won't be able to protect anything."

Li Shuang walked over and squatted down in front of Wu Wang.

Watching him slowly collapse from his position against the tube wall, until finally his breathing and heartbeat stopped, even the bracelet stopped giving any further feedback.

he died.

There were no tricks or illusions; he died a very thorough death.

At that moment, a three-minute countdown suddenly appeared on Li Shuang's bracelet.

She didn't seem surprised by this, but quickly reached out to snatch the weapon from Wu Wang's hand, wanting to find the USB drive from Wu Wang's body within three minutes.

Snapped--

However, the moment Li Shuang's hand gripped the sharp weapon, she was horrified to find that she couldn't let go.

For no other reason than Wu Wang also gripped her hand tightly.

Then, amidst Li Shuang's incredulous expression, he slowly opened his eyes, maintaining that smug smile, and said, "Unfortunately, it seems you can't take my life. So, I suggest you don't forgive me."

Li Shuang: "!!!"

She was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Only his pupils remained, contracting wildly in terror.

She tried desperately to pull her hand back, but Wu Wang's hand was like an iron clamp, holding her tightly.

"No! How can this be! You're dead! My God! Are you a human or a ghost?"

Wu Wang, standing beside her, jokingly imitated Li Shuang's accent.

He then grabbed the woman's hand and carefully examined the bracelet with the smiling symbol on it, trying to glean some information from it.

Just then, the voice of the artificial intelligence [Bai] rang in Wu Wang's ears.

She said somewhat urgently, "Sir! The elevator and hallway security cameras show smiling people rapidly approaching this way! They'll arrive in no more than three minutes! We need to leave quickly!"

Upon hearing this clever timing, Wu Wang tilted his head and glanced at the other person's bracelet.

Sure enough, the countdown on it was exactly the same as the time when the Smiler arrived here.

“Your actions of manipulating the Desire Bracelet just now were definitely against the rules, weren’t they? And it seems that even using a chip can’t cover up the signal. As long as you use it, the factory will definitely find out and send the Smilers to arrest you,” Wu Wang said, looking into the other’s still bewildered eyes.

"In that case, don't leave. Stay and explain things properly to the real smiley one."

Having said that, he brandished the knife in his hand, dancing as if he were performing.

In the blink of an eye, he cut off Li Shuang's sleeve.

After catching her, Wu Wang quickly used the strips of cloth he had cut off to bind her hands and feet.

In such a confined space, it would be impossible for Li Shuang to escape by jumping or other means while her hands and feet were restrained. Even if she crawled and writhed like a caterpillar, three minutes would not be enough for her to escape to a place where the Smilers could not catch her.

During this process, Wu Wang controlled his strength very well, ensuring that his opponent did not suffer any harm whatsoever.

After all, harming employees is against the rules.

Even though there aren't any security cameras or anything like that here, I'll still be careful just in case.

Otherwise, Wu Wang wouldn't want to be captured by the Smiler at this stage.

"Bastard! You think you can get away!" Li Shuang struggled on the ground and shouted, "The time you wasted on me is enough for the Smilers to surround the passage! Come to hell with me!"

However, Wu Wang simply shrugged in response to her sarcasm.

He stretched a little to loosen his muscles, then bowed slightly to the other person as if it were the end of a stage performance. As he bowed, Xiao Qiu jumped onto his head.

Wu Wang said in a cheeky tone, "I don't think so."

"Didn't you say I know a little bit of sleight of hand?"

So, goodbye.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished into thin air right before Li Shuang's eyes. There was no smoke to conceal him as expected, nor did he produce any special props.

It just disappeared in a flash.

Li Shuang, her eyes filled with resentment and anger, lay on the ground, hearing the footsteps of the smiling man getting closer and closer, but she was completely unable to move.

"I'll remember you... Wu Wang!"

"I will definitely drag you down to hell!"

She cursed viciously.

He then closed his eyes and waited to be arrested.

Using the [Seven Star Steps of Heaven] to teleport away, Wu Wang returned to his room in the blink of an eye.

Just then, someone knocked on his door again.

When he casually opened it, the person who appeared outside the door was somewhat surprised.

It's Wen Xiaolou, the unlucky guy whose computer was shut down by Wu Wang several times before.

"Hey, why aren't you at work in the middle of the day? What are you doing in my room?"

"Let me make it clear first, my sexual orientation is heterosexual."

Wen Xiaolou did not respond to Wu Wang's casual remarks.

He simply said with a worried look on his face, "Um... I want to tell you something."

Before he could continue, Wu Wang waved his hand and said, "You bought some goods last night, right? It's okay, I forgive you. Go downstairs and have some food and drinks."

Even more surprisingly, Wen Xiaolou immediately shook her head.

She firmly replied, "I absolutely did not buy anything!"

Wu Wang could tell that he wasn't lying.

Then Wen Xiaolou quickly added, "What I want to tell you is that those guys really did report you! I overheard them talking to the Smiling One who was patrolling the fourth floor!"

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, revealing a curious expression.

He squinted and asked, "Then what's the point of telling me this?"

These words made Wen Xiaolou look rather embarrassed.

He kept his head down quite low.

He said in a very soft voice, "We...we can't lose you..."

"Why don't you hide first? Hide somewhere the Smiler can't find you?"

Upon hearing his suggestion, Wu Wang's expression became even more satisfied.

He grinned and said, "Very well, you dared to say such treasonous things about the factory and even tipped them off beforehand. If I really get wanted, you'll be the first accomplice! Hahahaha!"

"I hope others can wake up to this realization as you have."

Seeing that Wen Xiaolou was about to say something.

Wu Wang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the Smiler won't cause me any trouble. Trust me."

That's why he dared to make that assertion.

It's because Wu Wang had already thoroughly understood the contract.

Those wish-fulfilled goods were never properly priced in the contract.

To prevent employees from using the price increase of desired goods as leverage to report the factory, the factory deliberately obscured this part of the contract terms.

However, the problem that arises is that the so-called special offers are essentially just the Wish Shop adjusting prices itself, and Wu Wang has not used any illegal or irregular means to interfere.

He was just chatting with the employees.

Surely chatting can't be against the rules too?

Wu Wanglao was adept at skirting the rules; otherwise, he wouldn't have been frequently taken to the police station as a child, only to be picked up by his family and allowed to leave.

Because the things he did were essentially impossible to convict.

Seeing Wu Wang's confident expression, Wen Xiaolou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before leaving, he still said with concern, "That's good. You should still be careful during this time."

"I heard that Smilers has taken a lot of people to the talent incubation center again, which has made everyone very anxious."

Now that things have come to this, these employees realize that the talent incubation center is no longer the path to advancement they once aspired to.

That place will be a hell from which there is no return.

After seeing Wen Xiaolou off, Wu Wang sat on the edge of the bed and summoned the [White] from his bracelet.

The two discussed what had just happened.

Especially the situation where Li Shuang controlled Wu Wang's bodily functions through the bracelet.

He needs to figure out how this was done as soon as possible.

If every Smiler, except for Li Shuang, possessed this ability, then the player's desire to liberate the factory would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Anyone who dares to stand up and resist will be killed immediately.

Even if Wu Wang isn't afraid of death, the other employees aren't!

Even when threatened in the simplest way, the fear of death can easily intimidate most employees, and even players of the Necromancer's Guild.

"Sir, the bracelet seems to work by releasing an electric current at an extremely precise frequency to mimic biological signals, causing the body's organs to misinterpret the signals and damaging certain blood vessels and other parts, resulting in irreversible damage."

[Bai] As an artificial intelligence residing in the bracelet, it naturally quickly figured out how the other party achieved this.

However, her tone then became somewhat strange.

He said uncertainly, "But what's strange is that I don't know how she gave you the instructions to operate your bracelet like that. Even I couldn't stop the bracelet at that time."

"It feels a bit like... I don't have enough permissions?"

This is rather strange.

Li Shuang said she was the former vice president of the Solidarity Union, which means she was one of the initiators of the strike, or at least a core member.

If she truly wields such control over the factory's Desire Bracelet, that thing poses a far greater threat than a worker strike.

Until her problem is resolved, the factory will likely have to compromise with Solidarity on some matters.

However, the fact is that the factory was not threatened at all.

That strike was also gradually dismantled and dealt with from within as some people began to waver.

Throughout the entire process, it was impossible to see that Li Shuang made any contribution.

Where did she get such high authority?

"She previously said that Ke Ming's message indicated that the document was unreliable, so I guess that part of the clue is true, since it's meant to arouse my suspicion of Zhang Mingyuan."

"If that's the case, then the real tamperer is also her. Li Shuang deleted everything about herself from the factory's records."

"But I always feel like something's not right..."

Wu Wang frowned, carefully considering everything that had happened in the ventilation duct.

Every word Li Shuang uttered, every movement she made, every expression she made, and every fluctuation of her emotions...

I heard that Smiley has taken a lot more people to the talent incubation center this time, which has made everyone very anxious.

Suddenly, Wen Xiaolou's words before leaving gave Wu Wang a glimmer of inspiration.

His expression instantly turned serious.

"That's right, that's where the awkwardness comes from!"

"Li Shuang isn't afraid of being taken away by the Smilers like the other employees!"

"Her identity is not just that of the vice president of Solidarity Union!"

"She is the data soul residing within the factory!" (End of Chapter)
