Chapter 359 Assessment Task 9
However, in Yu Muhuai's view, with those guests who could control the entire venue, there was no need for security guards at all.

The presence of these people seems somewhat superfluous; they're probably just there for show.

That's what it means to go all the way in a performance.

However, this did inspire Yu Muhuai.

The atmosphere of this bar now feels like a stage that has been set up.

Those guests were not only the audience, but also the actors involved, the director who held the power of life and death, and the producer who selected the participants.
Multiple identities are integrated into one, and one becomes so engrossed in them that one cannot extricate oneself.

He directed and starred in his own play, enjoying his masterpiece immensely.

What a magical world.

But right now, what Yu Muhuai wants to figure out most is the world outside the bar.

If he could open the door and look outside, Yu Muhuai was 80% certain that he would be able to understand the truth of this world more clearly.

She lay half-reclined on the sofa, feigning drunkenness and incoherence, like a cheetah concealing its purpose, quietly waiting for its prey to arrive.

Finally, she saw her target.

When Hu Miaotong opened the door to one of the bathroom stalls and stepped inside, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck.

In desperation, Hu Miaotong didn't care about pretense anymore. She lunged at the wall in front of her, pushed her body with both hands, and prepared to use the rebound force to turn around and strike backward with her elbow.

However, the other person reacted much faster than her, grabbing her before Hu Miaotong could resist.

Yu Muhuai grabbed Hu Miaotong's neck from behind with both hands, and no matter how much Hu Miaotong struggled, he kept his grip tight.

Gradually, Hu Miaotong's struggles lessened.

Finally, her hands fell limply to her sides, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Yu Muhuai carefully knocked Hu Miaotong to the ground.

The members of the agency are indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary people.

The initial chop to the neck struck Hu Miaotong hard, but she managed to endure it and didn't faint.

The strangulation technique is extremely dangerous; a slight mishap can easily cause the victim to suffocate.

Yu Muhuai was a little worried, afraid that he might accidentally send the other party back to the firm.

However, it seems that the members of the agency are indeed more resilient. Hu Miaotong only fainted, but her breathing was still stable.

Seeing this, Yu Muhuai didn't waste any time, quickly stripped off her clothes, and then put them on himself.

Finally, he didn't forget to bring the other person's nameplate.

20. Hu Miaotong

The reason Yu Muhuai chose to attack members of the agency and then disguise himself as a waiter was because...

It was because she was certain that even if Hu Miaotong had been attacked, she would not publicize it.

In this world, if you want to conceal your identity, you must keep a low profile.

If Hu Miaotong does anything that the guests notice, she will not only be unable to continue her mission, but her soul may also be destroyed.

Compared to that, being knocked unconscious by her, who was also a member of the agency, was a minor matter.

At worst, someone will find out Hu Miaotong's identity and write it on their panel. As long as all the other members are found, Hu Miaotong still has a chance to win.

Moreover, Yu Muhuai observed that the bar did not have any surveillance cameras.

They can do whatever they want in secret, as long as they don't attract the attention of the guests or reveal their identities.

The guests' main purpose was to have fun; everything around them was just an accessory.

As long as you don't do anything outrageous in public or disobey them, you'll be fine.

Yu Muhuai quickly swapped clothes with Hu Miaotong, even changing their name tags. Then she removed Hu Miaotong's hair tie, combed her own hair back, and tied it into a simple low ponytail. Next, she opened the door, picked up Hu Miaotong's mop, and walked out of the cubicle with her head down.

Yu Muhuai pretended to clean, starting by mopping the bathroom floor and continuing until he reached the area near the door.

To reach the corridor leading to the entrance, you need to pass the bar.

At this moment, there were two bartenders busy at the bar, while the other three were gathered in a booth drinking and chatting.

All staff members have their own shift schedule, which is very orderly.

There are no foremen or work schedules for any of the jobs here, but everyone works according to unspoken rules.

Yu Muhuai acted as if he was working very diligently and conscientiously, keeping his head down and carefully mopping the floor.

Although someone had just cleaned the ground, traces of skeletons being dragged across the surface were still visible.

There were long red marks on the ground, but they have faded considerably now.

Yu Muhuai pretended to clean up the remaining dirt and dragged it all the way into the corridor.

This is a somewhat winding corridor, shaped like an S inside. Standing at one end, you can't see what's happening at the other end.

Yu Muhuai dared not let her guard down. She continued mopping the floor, walked through the S-shaped corridor, and arrived at the door.

Although he kept his head down, his eyes kept darting around, wary of anyone else coming into the corridor.

When she finally reached the end of the corridor, the door was right in front of her.

This is a very ordinary double door.

A standard L-shaped door handle can be pulled down to reveal the outside.

Yu Muhuai's throat bobbed; she couldn't wait to find out what was behind the door.

Is it on a bustling, vibrant bar street, or in a quiet, empty alley?
Is the outside world a bizarre and unseen world, or a post-apocalyptic scene that has mutated and collapsed?

While conceiving the idea in his mind, Yu Muhuai did not hesitate for a moment, directly turning down the door and pulling it inward.

Gray fog.

A gray fog.

A gray fog with no end in sight.

Yu Muhuai had never seen such a sight before.

Looking around, all you could see was gray fog.

There was nothing else around.

The same applies to the ground beneath our feet.

The bar she was currently in was like a speck of dust floating in a gray fog. Yet, those within it felt no sense of weightlessness.

Yu Muhuai looked down at the boundless gray mist below, but not a single trace of it drifted into the doorway.

It was as if there was a barrier at the gate, separating the inside from the outside, forming two different worlds.

She longed to try going out, but she didn't dare.

She wasn't just afraid that if she went outside, she would fall into an abyss, leaving no trace. She was also afraid that the gray fog outside was harmful, and that any contact with it would damage her current body.

The outside world is completely unknown, and she is even more afraid that if she is not careful, she may fail the assessment.

It's even possible that, as Big White warned, they could be trapped here forever, until their soul and will dissipate.

Yu Muhuai stared intently at the gray fog outside, trying to figure out what kind of substance it was within the limited time available.
