Ling glanced at the guillotine that had nearly killed her, and said seriously:

“I don’t have any martial arts skills, nor do I have your reflexes. The trap was triggered too suddenly for me to dodge. Now I know what I’m doing. Wenwen, you have to stay close to me from now on. I will protect you with thorns.”

“Sister Ling…” You Wenwen’s face was pale.

She had witnessed the terrifying scene just now, and her heart was still pounding.

"Miao Yin, what are you doing?" Tu Hao asked when he saw that she was still looking at the pressure sensor.

"nothing……"

Miao Yin stood up, a low laugh escaping her lips. She turned to look at him, her face, as beautiful as a painting, filled with excitement.

Upon seeing her expression, Tu Hao's heart pounded, and he asked warily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm so happy!" Miao Yin clapped her hands and said, "Isn't this what they call an escape room in amusement parks? I've never played one before, it's so much fun! This trip was definitely worth it!"

Tu Hao: "..."

He wore a complicated expression, feeling like he had just eaten a bowl of expired rice noodles and now had a stomachache.

"You do your thing, stay away from me, don't get me into trouble."

"What are you talking about? We're a team."

Miao Yin grabbed Tu Hao with one hand and Ling with the other, and said happily, "Play with me! This is definitely going to be very interesting. I've never seen anything like it before, and you've probably never seen anything like it either, right?"

Ling hesitated and shook his head: "Indeed... I've never seen it before."

She'd played escape rooms before, but this was the first time she'd ever seen one that could be so deadly.

Tu Wuwu said speechlessly, "I've seen too much of this, I'm not interested."

As a mercenary, he often received missions to steal information from the heavily guarded vaults of wealthy people, and he had seen all kinds of traps and mechanisms.

I have no interest in playing games or anything like that.

Upon hearing his words, Miao Yin's smile vanished instantly, and she stared at him expressionlessly.

Tu Hao felt a chill run down his spine and immediately realized what was happening.

Sure enough, the next second, the raging fire of the curse ignited in his soul.

Tu Hao fell to the ground in pain, his face drained of color, his body convulsing, unable to even breathe.

His hands trembled as he grabbed Miao Yin's trouser leg, forcing out a voice, "Miao Yin! You...stop...that's enough!"

Ling and You Wenwen were both taken aback by this sudden scene. They looked at Miao Yin with their light purple eyes and asked, "What happened to him?"

"The price of disobedience, huh? Who made me the master of this curse?"

“Wenwen has it too.” Miao Yin looked down at You Wenwen.

Yu Wenwen was startled and shrank behind Ling, her eyelashes trembling with fear like butterfly wings.

Miao Yin slipped her fingers between Ling's, their five fingers intertwined intimately. She shook Ling's hand and leaned closer, saying affectionately:

"Ling is the same."

Looking at the beautiful face so close to his, and those terrifyingly dark eyes, Ling softly replied, "...Mm."

Miao Yin had had her fill of playing before canceling the command to see the curse. Tu Hao lay on the ground, panting heavily, his body covered in cold sweat from the pain.

"Cough cough..." He coughed painfully.

No matter how many times, he couldn't get used to this soul-burning pain, and a certain anxiety began to spread again.

"Tu Hao." Miao Yin squatted down, patted his head, and said, "I've told you before, you have to be obedient and learn from others."

Tu Hao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gritted his teeth to hold back the curse that was already on the tip of his tongue.

He tried to stand up, but the punishment had exhausted all his strength, and he couldn't get up at all.

"Pfft." Miao Yin smiled.

She took out a clean handkerchief from her spatial storage, pinched Tu Hao's chin to make him look up, and slowly wiped the dust off his face.

"If you can't get up, just lie there a little longer. We're not in a hurry to go out. Look at you, you've gotten yourself all dirty."

Tu Hao grabbed her wrist, causing the handkerchief to fall to the ground. His expression was inscrutable, as if dark clouds were gathering.

But soon he let go; his hand, which had the strength to crush iron, didn't even leave a red mark on Miao Yin's wrist.

He took a breath, and with a struggle, finally stood up from the ground, holding onto the door frame for support.

Miao Yin also stood up and looked at him, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Didn't you want me to play with you? What are you waiting for?" he said in a low voice, looking as if he had fully recovered.

"..."

Miao Yin walked to his side, their eyes met, and a cool smile touched her eyebrows: "It's so good that you think that way!"

……

Half an hour earlier, in another passage, Yan Shuzhou helped Ji Yuanzhou sit down against the wall. The two huddled together, wiping away cold sweat, both still shaken.

Just now, a downward passage suddenly appeared in the wall they were leaning against, and the two of them lost their footing and fell.

Fortunately, Ji Yuanzhou withstood the pressure of the mental attack in time. Despite the excruciating pain and dizziness in his head, he used lightning to slow their descent in the passage, preventing them from falling to their deaths.

Electricity has always played a vital role in human life, not only in the effects it brings, but also in the things it produces that are very useful.

Electromagnetic force, electrostatic adsorption, and even bioelectricity—as long as his level is high enough and his skills are properly trained, Ji Yuanzhou can use them all.

"Release a large amount of electricity to generate static electricity and attract yourself to a certain place. This trick was taught to me by Miao Yin. I didn't expect to use it so soon," Ji Yuanzhou said with a wry smile.

Miao Yin is incredibly wicked and constantly causes trouble, but her mastery of supernatural abilities is undeniably high. With just a few words, she opened up new ideas for him to use Lei Ji.

However, he lacks control over his superpowers and finds it difficult to use these skills precisely. He can't sustain them for long, and most of the time he uses the most primitive method, which is to release energy.

Thankfully, they only fell three floors, not more than ten, otherwise they would definitely have died.

He rubbed his head to ease the mental pain.

Although he has escaped those illusions, the psychic abilities clearly still remain in his body, and it will probably take some time for the pain to subside.

"That mental attack just now..." Yan Shuzhou said worriedly.

"Don't worry, since we were able to break free, they'll be fine," Ji Yuanzhou reassured him.

"But where is this place?" He released a white spark of electricity from his palm, illuminating the dilapidated surroundings.

Yan Shuzhou conjured a nine-tasseled rabbit and made it listen to the sounds here.

A short while later, he replied, "We've fallen into the basement of this office building."

"There are places like this?" Ji Yuanzhou asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Something's not right..." Yan Shuzhou suddenly received some information, and his expression changed drastically. "Get up quickly, there are mutants coming!"
