Worries

He decided to ignore the broken Instance for now—a mess full of loopholes that relied entirely on patches slapped on by generations of members.

He also set aside the thought of Lord Cha, that liability who was better at ruining things than helping.

What Ren Yi cared about most right now wasn't whether the Instance was up to standard or if the rules were flawed.

His true concern was whether Zhang Qiuqiu being trapped in a human body would cause any lasting issues.

Others might not understand the danger, but Ren Yi knew it all too well; he had gone through the exact same experience himself.

The feeling of being locked tightly within a human shell while one's essence was being constantly eroded was anything but friendly—it was, in fact, extremely perilous.

Seeing the group chat still filled with bickering, Ren Yi frowned and immediately spoke up to stop the pointless argument.

【Stop arguing. This isn't the time for petty squabbles. I've seen the class monitor's situation before, and it's no joke.】

As soon as Ren Yi's message was sent, the lively chat fell silent. Everyone was stunned and filled with confusion.

In their understanding, Anomalies were not ordinary living beings; even the concept of "death" was distorted for them.

Ordinary injuries and rule restrictions couldn't harm their foundation; at most, they were a bit of a nuisance. They truly couldn't understand how being trapped in a human body could be considered dangerous.

【Anomalies aren't invincible. This kind of physical imprisonment isn't as simple as you think.】

Seeing their reaction, Ren Yi could only briefly describe his encounter in the Three Cities World, omitting key details and focusing only on the main points.

【Back in the Three Cities World, I was also forcibly trapped in a human shell.】

【At the time, the opponent wanted to use a world's will fragment combined with soul fusion to forcibly possess my True Form.】

【This kind of seal doesn't just block your abilities. If you're not careful, you'll be exploited.】

As soon as those words were posted, the atmosphere in the group chat turned tense, and the previous casualness vanished instantly.

Lu Zihan sent an emoji that looked like it was gasping for air.

He had vaguely heard about Ren Yi's experiences in the Three Cities World, but he didn't know the specifics, let alone the hidden dangers involved. He panicked immediately.

【That actually happens? But what's the situation now? There aren't any masterminds like that here, right?】

Zhang Qiuqiu also went silent. Originally, she had just felt frustrated and uncomfortable.

Ren Yi hesitated for a moment: 【Don't panic too much. It shouldn't be a huge deal.】

【Even if that guy had succeeded back then, he probably would've been dusted the moment he entered the Alliance...】

Ren Yi added silently in his heart.

Given that Ren Man was the one who handled the aftermath, the guy probably wouldn't have even made it to the Alliance before being erased...

【For some reason, I feel like even if I really get into trouble, the Alliance definitely has a way to handle it.】

At this moment, Zhang Qiuqiu seemed to remember something and spoke up to ease the tension.

【I think I understand now. I remember my mom telling me about this kind of situation.】

【My ability is Possession, and I need to digest the original soul of the body before I can perform the next one.】

【So, during this cooldown, it's pretty much the same as my current situation—being trapped inside a body.】

【It's fine. I'll just go back and ask my Parent to fix it. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my Parent's Parent.】

Right, besides her Parent, Ms. Zhang, the class monitor also had her Parent's Parent.

The problem was that since they were currently inside an Instance, she couldn't reach her backers.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Ren Yi suddenly paused.

Wait, a backer... It's not like there isn't one available, right?

In the group chat, Lord Cha was starting to panic.

【I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! Once we get out, I'll serve you all hand and foot, no questions asked!】

Lord Cha sent three messages in a row.

【How about this? Although I can't adjust the rules from the backend, the ownership of this Instance is in my hands. I'm the one in charge!】

【I'll terminate the Instance right now, take the loss, and forcibly send you all out. I'll bear the consequences myself.】

That was a straightforward solution, but Ren Yi stopped him directly.

【Don't be in such a hurry to terminate it. There's no need for that much trouble. We can ask our backer first.】

【Backer? What backer?】

A string of question marks instantly popped up in the chat as Lu Zihan, Zhang Qiuqiu, and Lord Cha were all filled with confusion.

Ren Yi didn't answer their question. The next second, a system notification appeared at the top of the group chat interface.

【"Slime Flight Edition" has invited "File Transfer Assistant" to the group chat】

【"File Transfer Assistant" is already friends with the 3 Anomalies in the group】

Looking at the new member who had suddenly joined, the three Anomalies in the group were completely stunned, unable to react for a long time.

File Transfer Assistant?

They stared at that familiar yet strange green avatar in the member list, utterly bewildered, even thinking they had seen it wrong.

Wasn't this thing the most useless default friend on the Anomaly Web?

As everyone knew, the File Transfer Assistant was a default system friend.

Usually, it was used for temporary file transfers or for drafting messages and storing notes.

To put it bluntly, it was just a convenient tool; you could send any random thing to it.

But this thing could actually be pulled into a group chat? What kind of move was this?

Ren Yi ignored their shock. His fingers flew across the screen as he tagged the File Transfer Assistant in the group.

【Hello, transfer to human customer service.】

After typing that, he clearly and logically described their current predicament in detail.

【A member of our party is in a club Instance monitored by the Alliance and has encountered an abnormal situation outside the established rules.】

【After an Anomaly possessed a human Participant, they were forcibly imprisoned within the human shell. Their essence is bound, and their abilities are completely lost.】

【The previous Instance rules provided no relevant explanation. This is an accident caused by a rule loophole. We kindly request the authorities to verify the situation, provide assistance, and investigate the potential hazard.】

Once the message was sent, the group chat fell silent for a moment. The File Transfer Assistant gave no response, its avatar remaining a cold, static green, as if it were truly just an emotionless tool.

Zhang Qiuqiu, Lu Zihan, and Lord Cha remained silent.

Of course there was no response! It was just a File Transfer Assistant! What kind of response could it possibly give?!
