Chapter 28: To be humiliated like this, he's probably the only one!

“Can’t you just speak without me asking?”

Regardless, Zhang Yangqing would only say it once per strike.

Weren't you acting quite arrogant when you first walked through the door?

I actually prefer that high-and-mighty attitude you had just now.

Zhang Yangqing had a sense of scale; he beat him with exactly enough force to ensure the Goblin Security Guard wouldn't die, but wouldn't stop until he was broken.

This was what they called "living is worse than death"—making you wish for death but not even granting you the mercy of a quick end.

Eventually, even the Goblin Security Guard felt that this new guard was going too far.

Earlier, you were talking while hitting, which could be considered looking for excuses to beat me.

But now, you aren't even looking for excuses; you're just hitting me directly, right?

Zhang Yangqing certainly didn't care about his thoughts. Did he need a reason to hit him?

It wasn't as if he just hit people whenever he felt like it.

If I tell you to speak, you speak. You dare talk back?

This dramatic scene stood in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere felt by the other Chosen Ones.

While everyone else was nervously trying to please the Goblin Security Guard in hopes of gaining more intelligence, the Chosen One from Dragon Country was being direct: he was dragged in for a beating.

Zhang Yangqing's final sentence made people gasp.

"I'll give you one last chance. Guess for yourself what I want to ask, and then figure out how to answer me."

This sentence was so incredibly arrogant that the audience watching the big screen couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

[Comment: Holy crap, he's just straight up skipping the questions! Big Brother is too lazy to even ask, he just gives you a chance. If you speak, you speak; if you don't, he doesn't care. You think he needs your intel to clear the stage?]

[Comment: Other Chosen Ones go in and get bullied by the anomalies, but this guy goes in and bullies the anomalies, doesn't he?]

[Comment: To torture an anomaly like this, he's probably the only one. I love it!]

[Comment: I feel sorry for the anomaly that got matched with him, but this is so satisfying to watch!]

[Comment: Big Brother is venting our frustrations for us. These anomalies bully us every day; they deserve this.]

[Comment: Just beat him to death already. He's disgusting. I heard the analysis next door saying he preys on beautiful women—that's an extra crime.]

[Comment: Big Brother gave you a chance, just speak!]

[Comment: Big Brother dared to let you in, and you actually dared to enter? Consider this a lesson; be more careful in your next life.]

[Comment: You can actually tell one thing: this Goblin Security Guard is very strong. He hasn't died even after being beaten like that by Big Brother; he's much stronger than that Fierce Ghost.]

[Comment: Is it possible that Big Brother isn't even using his full strength?]

[Comment: My mom is asking why I'm watching the screen on my knees! Big Brother is just too powerful!]

It was unknown how the audiences from other countries were feeling, or if they were worrying about their own Chosen Ones.

But the Dragon Country audience was incredibly relaxed, even starting to snack on melon seeds.

The Dragon Country expert group had already deduced that the Goblin Security Guard was definitely one of the top combatants in this Weird Tale instance.

If such a powerful existence was being bloodily suppressed by their own Chosen One, what was there left to fear?

Hu Liuxi even noticed a detail, recalling when their Chosen One greeted that anomalous Ice Wax Statue.

Their Chosen One had merely raised a hand, but the Ice Wax Statue responded by bowing its head and raising its hand.

From this, it could be seen that the Ice Wax Statue seemed to realize the Chosen One was stronger than him and had lowered its posture.

This was easy to understand. Judging from the shattered wax statues found during the Ice Wax Statue's patrol, it was clear that the new guard was strong—perhaps even absurdly strong.

Hu Liuxi sighed, "As expected, strength commands respect everywhere, even in the world of Weird Tales."

This Goblin Security Guard was also incredibly unlucky; he had entered the moment the door opened without observing whether the person opening it was dangerous.

Zhang Yangqing didn't know what people were thinking outside. He currently had little interest in the concept of "clearing the stage," because even if the anomalies went berserk in the final stage, he wouldn't care.

What he was considering was how to clear the stage perfectly to obtain the maximum rewards.

This was a problem the other Chosen Ones wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Even someone as strong as Rahman, the Chosen One from the Pyramid Country, could only think of two ways to clear the stage.

He had deduced from the letters that there was treasure in the staff lounge, but so what?

That was no longer something he could touch. He wouldn't even consider how to obtain hidden treasures; wasn't staying alive enough?

Moreover, whether people like Li Zhenpi could even stay alive right now was a question in itself.

While all the other Goblin Security Guards were waiting anxiously at the door, the one with Zhang Yangqing knew what it meant that "in this world, everything comes with a price."

He thought to himself: *No wonder this guy dared to let me in; he's truly fearless.*

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I'll talk, alright?!"

The Goblin Security Guard basically said everything he could.

He had come here to work as a guard specifically to obtain the secret of the Wax Museum, which was an item.

This item was hidden in a cabinet within the staff lounge.

That cabinet had a secret compartment that required a password to open.

Last time, he had stolen the Ice Wax Statue's access card. Just as he was about to open the cabinet, the Ice Wax Statue discovered the card was missing, and the two of them had fought.

The female anomaly in the staff lounge was simply unlucky; she had accidentally witnessed the fight between the two guards, learned the secret of the Wax Museum, and was subsequently turned into a wax statue and locked in the staff lounge.

In reality, both guards here were in a semi-wax state.

Their internal structure was flesh, but their exterior was a special attribute wax that granted them unique abilities.

The ability granted by the Ice Wax Statue's skin was freezing, while the Goblin Security Guard's ability was hardness.

This was also why Li Zhenpi could kill the Ice Wax Statue with a red dagger.

The red dagger was originally a tool for carving wax, so it could ignore the wax skin.

"Big Brother, I've told you everything I know. Please, I beg you to let me go. As long as you let me out, I promise I'll never bother you again."

The Goblin Security Guard was telling the absolute truth this time, without a single lie.

He knew that facing such a powerful new guard, trying to steal an item would be harder than ascending to heaven.

The access card was in this guy's hands; how could he steal it? By risking his life?

If he didn't have his hardened skin, those few strikes from this new guard would have sent him straight to the afterlife.

Facing Zhang Yangqing, a sense of powerlessness welled up in the Goblin Security Guard's heart.

This was no longer an existence he could shake.

It was better to just confess everything and pray the other side would let him go.

Seeing the boss begging for his life so humbly, the audience sighed.

It felt exactly like an adult beating a child; the anomaly boss had no power to fight back at all.

Just who was this Chosen One from Dragon Country?

This mystery continued to linger in everyone's minds.

Zhang Yangqing didn't care about his feelings. Looking at him with a cold gaze, he said, "You're quite sensible, kid. I'm in a good mood right now. Go open the treasure, and I'll try my best to spare your life."

Hearing this, the Goblin Security Guard froze.

Why did this sentence sound so familiar?

Suddenly, he remembered—wasn't this exactly what he had said when he first entered?

So, this guy was throwing his own words back at him.

Truly, the tables have turned; no one escapes fate.

He was probably the only one who could be humiliated like this.

But he had no choice. He couldn't win a fight, and he couldn't run, so he could only lead the way.

Because he could see exactly what the new guard meant.

It seemed to say: *I am not negotiating with you; I am simply telling you to do this. That is all.*
