Chapter 45: Level End (2/2)

He was never the one to hold grudges.

But in the first place, he wouldn’t have shared any clues with him, so it was all good.

Su Yize only realized that Bai Yan was walking past him, and just when Bai Yan was about to pass through the exit, he abruptly came over, “F*ck! You come back here!”

“Why are you leaving?”

Su Yize wasn’t a dunce. Seeing that Bai Yan didn’t inform him that he was leaving, he instantly knew that this guy somehow figured it out.

The players who have reached the fourth level had average IQs, so it was impossible for them to die of ignorance. The disappearances were according to their order of entering the haunted house, so the next one to go away would be Bai Yan. If he dared to go in, it meant that he had a grasp of the situation and was quietly slipping away because he held a grudge about what had happened earlier…

If he had known before that Bai Yan wouldn’t die, Su Yize would’ve lent a hand!

Su Yize was full of regrets, but it was too late.

“Well, in any case, the one who’s in greater danger isn’t me. Even if you weren’t here, I can still think of a way out of here. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just stay behind here for a while with a foolish expression on my face.

Su Yize’s plan consisted of just continuing to stand by the exit, waiting for him to solidify a plan to get out of here alive. Unfortunately, after he waited for two full minutes, he saw Wang Ziwen and Xu Xiaojing’s tongues out and were walking towards him, hand in hand, slowly drawing near the exit.

Seeing the two people fast approaching with the hovering rope right above their head, they seemed to be trying to find a third person to join them as ghosts who died from hanging. Su Yize cursed under his breath, turned around, and dashed towards the exit, entering his fourth-round inside the haunted house.

…

Bai Yan stood by the entrance he knew so well and opened his phone. He quickly swept a glance across the entrance and made sure that there weren’t any missed clues near it. He then quickly made a break for the exit’s direction.

Compared to his third round in the haunted house, the fourth round’s environment was even more dangerous.

Other than the small area near the entrance, the path in front was densely packed with hair. Bai Yan stepped on it, leading the ghostly hair to start winding around his legs and feet.

Under the obstruction of the ghostly hairs, Bai Yan’s speed was basically as slow as their first round. Just as long as there were no unexpected incidents, he would surely reach the exit within 10 minutes and maybe even with time to spare.

Bai Yan carefully evaded the walls to avoid wasting time getting pulled in. He skillfully dodged ghost hands protruding out of the wall and completely ignored the corpse and the note by the corner as well as any kind of enticing clues that fell on his path, focusing his attention on rushing forward.

After reaching a third of the way, a frightened youth came across his path, and when he saw Bai Yan, the youth’s expression brightened up. He quickly stopped in his tracks and asked, “Hello, are you also a trapped player in this place? I’ve also walked around here quite a few times…”

“You’ve been walking around here in circles. Leave me the f*ck alone!”

The young man didn’t move and blocked the path. Bai Yan exerted his strength and pushed the man away, not caring that the youth fell to the ground, even stepping on his body as he continued to sprint forward.

As Bai Yan went straight ahead, the youth turned into a dried-up skeleton and was quickly dragged into the wall, its limbs instantly joining the sets on the wall.

Once he knew how to clear this level, it didn’t matter what monster Bai Yan faced because he would stop at nothing to reach the exit.

‘Crash!’

Up above him, the ceiling began to rain blood, and along with those warm red raindrops, an endless storm of broken arms fell from the sky, colliding onto Bai Yan’s body.

Bai Yan tore away the broken hands plastered on his face and threw them aside without a second thought, not caring that there were also others attached to his body. He did his best to maintain his fastest speed to continue going forward.

As he was nearing the exit, Bai Yan saw a wall of human heads, standing in front of him and blocking his way.

Looking at the time, the 10 minutes was about to be up.

Bai Yan immediately faced the wall full of heads with ruthless eyes and used his legs that were previously entangled by the ghost hair to kick them away.

The human heads were kicked to the side and produced bitter roars as they landed on the ground. In response, Bai Yan covered his ears to block the irritating sound and ran across the heads, going through the exit.

The haunted house’s exit led to the store’s cashier, where they had bought their tickets. Bai Yan probed his head and scouted around but didn’t see a single sight of Su Yize, not knowing where he had run off to or if he was still inside the haunted house.

Outside the exit, the previously possessed guide on the pager was standing outside the door, putting on a full smile as she saw him go out.

When he heard someone exit, the acting boss had also come over, “How was it? Was my haunted house good?”

“It was good, but there could still be improvements. I suggest that the boss should also have a go and play.”

Bai Yan flashed him a sincere smile, while at the same time, quickly pushing the return button.

As if it were an inside-joke from the game, the boss’s sister was still hanging on the beam, and right now, it seemed like it didn’t move for a very long time.
