Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

The arrival of Lu Tiannan and Xi Mingzhu brought the total number of people to ten, and the door to the haunted house opened automatically.

The first person to walk in was a bald, burly man. As soon as he entered, he bumped into a female NPC. The burly man shoved the NPC aside and cursed.

"What the hell is that?"

The female NPC fell to the ground and didn't react in any other way.

Once all the players entered the haunted house, the NPCs immediately knelt down before them and cried pitifully.

"Are you our helpers? Please save my child, he's gone. My poor Peter has been separated from his mother's arms for a week, kind people, please help me."

One of the players muttered under his breath, "Looking for a child in a haunted house? That's insane."

Some players also think this is part of the game, "Maybe helping her find the child will allow us to pass the level?"

Lu Tiannan snapped his fingers loudly in front of Shen Yi, and Xi Mingzhu responded calmly and glanced at him indifferently.

Timid players weren't so lucky; they were startled by the snap of their fingers.

"Brother~ Giving six entrances isn't the setup for a haunted house. It's too obvious. They're trying to scatter the players so they can do bad things."

Lu Tiannan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear, and many people began to frown and observe the six entrances.

Some players tried to get information from the NPC, but the NPC at the entrance kept asking players to help her find her child Peter without revealing any other information.

The door to the haunted house has disappeared, leaving players with no way out until they clear the level. These are players who have experienced many levels, even multiple levels, of the dungeon, and they all have their own judgment.

"Should we help her find her child first? She can't get out now anyway."

"I think it's okay."

As they spoke, some players left, choosing one of the directions to go. With a one-sixth dispersion rate, it was indeed impossible for ten people to all take the same path.

One by one, players made their choices, some in groups and some alone, until only Yan Qing, Liu Ya, Lu Tiannan and Shen Yi remained.

"Brother, which way do you want to go?"

Lu Tiannan was wearing a black shirt and suit pants, along with plain black-rimmed glasses without lenses. He looked every bit the industry elite, practically ready to step into a dungeon in his suit jacket.

Originally, Lu Tiannan wanted Shen Yi to wear a white shirt with him, but Xi Mingzhu felt uncomfortable wearing it, so this time she just wore a white T-shirt and casual pants and went into the dungeon.

In Xi Mingzhu's eyes, the six roads were indistinguishable from each other in appearance.

So he calmly replied, "Either is fine."

Lu Tiannan pushed up his glasses and looked at Shen Yi with a smile: "Then come with me?"

After saying that, he walked towards the rightmost path.

This is the one that the other six people didn't choose.

Seeing the two of them leave together, Yan Qing asked Liu Ya, "Aya, which way should we go?"

Liu Ya pursed her lips and spoke after a long while: "If the haunted house is a realistic story, there must be only one exit, so there must be a connection point between the six paths. Otherwise, it's unfair to decide life or death based on luck in choosing the entrance."

Yan Qing sighed helplessly and said gently, "Aya, where is there any fairness in a place like this? In reality, everyone we're going through would be considered crazy. In a place like this, luck is also a kind of strength."

Liu Ya was perplexed by the six entrances and shook her arm, which was linked with Yan Qing's.

"Honey, you've always been lucky. You choose. I'll definitely protect you."

Yan Qing was bewildered. "Where have I ever had good luck?"

Liu Ya said softly, "You are my lucky star, my wife."

Yan Qing smiled gently, unable to resist Liu Ya's charm, and ultimately chose the second entrance on the right.

No player chose this path just now; all the other paths have been chosen by players to varying degrees. This is why Yan Qing chose this path – at least it avoids a situation where players fight each other.

It has to be said that clothes make the man. Lu Tiannan was dressed formally, which concealed much of his lazyness.

There were many human bones lying by the roadside as they walked, but neither of them cared whether they were real or fake.

On both sides are old, dilapidated walls with peeling paint, which look not very sturdy and could easily be punched into a hole.

Dolls are hanging from above, and different kinds of dolls appear every so often, with their expressions changing as well.

At first, she smiled, then her smile faded, and finally, her lips drooped, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

Lu Tiannan glanced at the unhappy dolls, casually pulled one off, hooked the string around his fingertip and spun it around, the doll spinning rapidly around his finger.

After playing for a while, he got bored and casually tossed the doll against the wall. Lu Tiannan, with his hands in his pockets, couldn't stay idle for long and muttered, "So boring."

Xi Mingzhu asked coolly, "You remember all the symbols on the wall?"

As they walked along, the doll's expression didn't matter; what mattered were the symbols on the wall, all of them blood-red horizontal dots.

0561 is said to be Morse code.

"It's good that you remember, brother. I dressed up so handsomely because I wanted to be a useless pretty face and be protected by you, brother." Lu Tiannan smiled and tilted his head to look at Shen Yi.

A useless vase... Xi Mingzhu really couldn't understand Lu Tiannan's thought process. What was this guy thinking all day long?

While others enter dungeons with trepidation, Lu Tiannan enters them as casually as if he were strolling through the streets.

Xi Mingzhu said coldly, "I don't know him."

"What should we do then? I don't understand Morse code either." Lu Tiannan's tone didn't show any worry at all.

To be fair, Lu Tiannan was a bit better than Xi Mingzhu; at least he knew it was Morse code, something Xi Mingzhu had never even seen before.

0561 volunteered, "Host, I can translate for you!"

"..." Xi Mingzhu originally thought Lu Tiannan was confident, but it turns out this guy is really carefree.

0561, who was analyzing the data, noted that the three large Morse code sequences that had just passed by were—

[Please run faster; the central hall is safe. You might run into someone you know before you reach the hall.]

[Choose your favorite doll, or don't worry if you don't have one. The doll you like will protect you.]

[The false terror will gradually become real, and through certain means you will obtain the key to escape.]

After 0561 finished analyzing the data, he told Xi Mingzhu, who had no clue about the information.

Lu Tiannan noticed Shen Yi staring blankly at the wall and leaned closer, saying, "What are you thinking about so intently? Are you more captivating than me?"

Before Xi Mingzhu could speak, he heard rustling sounds coming from behind them, like fabric rubbing against the ground... and there seemed to be a faint sound of stitching.

Lu Tiannan turned around and saw a pile of smiley face dolls in the distance still moving towards them.

The surprise quickly turned into a soft click of the tongue, followed by an exclamation.

"Living toys, there was no such thing as this in the past, children are really well treated now."

Lu Tiannan watched as a group of dolls on the ground moved closer and closer. Two skeletons followed at the very back… it was a little comical.

Seeing that they were only two meters away from the smiling doll in front, Xi Mingzhu coldly reminded them, "Aren't you going to run?"

Lu Tiannan chuckled slowly, "I'm an obedient pretty face. If my brother doesn't tell me to run, how dare I run away on my own?"

Without a second thought, Xi Mingzhu turned and ran, leaving behind the words, "Stand here and wait to die."
