The Bathroom

"Eldest Sister, are we really being live-streamed...? Why does this person want us to do this?" The man next to Wen Keke couldn't help but ask.

Wen Keke looked at Liang Xinjin, the archer she had recently recruited, who was quite talented. Although he wasn't very brave, he was capable, and his status was still useful to her.

Thinking about the live stream she was still connected to, Wen Keke softened her expression and smiled at Liang Xinjin, saying, "What he said is very likely true."

"That's outrageous! Why are they livestreaming our Instance run?!" another person protested. They had been hiding in this Instance for so many days, and if others saw this, he would have to take back all the boasting he had made!

"Don't say that. As the Authorities representative team, the Calamity Crossing Squad definitely needs to sacrifice for everyone and obtain more Rules and methods to fight against the supernatural," Wen Keke said tolerantly. "Even if it might have some impact on us, it's not a big deal when it comes to people's survival."

Liang Xinjin sighed, "Eldest Sister is indeed kind-hearted. It's only because of the bad reputation your Older Sister left behind that I think the Calamity Crossing Squad would understand you."

"I dare not hope to be forgiven." Wen Keke looked up, her eyes filled with worry. "I only hope that the Authorities will stop pressing us and leave us a way out."

[Holy crap, I just really disliked her, but why do I feel a little sorry for her after she said that?]

[Me too, I actually think what she said makes some sense!]

[You've been influenced by some kind of mind-controlling Weird Object, haven't you?]

[This is from the Authorities Logistics Department. Most of those who agree with Wen Keke's words are under the mental control of Weird Object. We suggest you stop watching the live stream or wear Weird Object to remove negative influences while watching.]

[I'm from the Authorities Logistics Department, I approve...]

[I'm from the Authorities Logistics Department, approved... continue watching]

[This is the first time I've seen Authorities news flooding social media; this Wen Keke is truly terrifying.]

The Protagonist Group are growing rapidly, and the villains can't afford to lose face. If they can't keep up with the Protagonist Group, what's the point of being a villain?

Lin Nieran didn't want to be both a good guy and a villain; it was too tiring.

Half of the Calamity Crossing Squad had just been drawn back into the game, leaving behind Mi Chuchu and Sheng Qingqiao, who were mentally exhausted. Bai Yang was also selected for the Instance game. Lin Nieran would occasionally go to the snack area to buy something to eat, making some noise.

He got up and walked around as usual until he reached a blind spot where no one could see him, then took out a card and summoned Night Moon again.

The sword under the Moonlit Night can break through boundaries, and naturally it can move freely in the Dark Side. However, if it walks in directly, it will be too conspicuous, so it can only be summoned by him.

"My Master, everything is going well." Night Moon bowed her head.

Lin Nieran smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Before I draw the next card, I'll need you to deal with Wen Keke a bit more."

"It's what I should do." Night Moon looked at Lin Nieran, her voice very soft. "My Master, you don't need the other cards; you can give them to me from now on."

"I have more important things to entrust to you in the future."

"Is it more important than my brother's mission?" Night Moon stared intently at Lin Nieran, her pupils widening, her expression carrying a strong sense of inhumanity.

Lin Nieran didn't fall into the trap, but instead kept saying, "Everyone's task was important, and you all did a great job."

"It was I who overstepped my bounds."

The night passed without incident, and when Qin Rang returned home to rest, his wife stopped him.

His wife asked curiously, "Why haven't you taken a bath these past few days? Go wash up and change your clothes."

His daughter also shouted, "Dad, you stink! You stink!"

Qin Rang: "..."

He's killed countless monsters; how could he possibly be clean?

Besides, it's winter now. Even if he hasn't showered for a few days, it wouldn't be this exaggerated. This is deliberately making him go to the Bathroom.

"Can't I not take a bath?" Sheng Qingqiao stared blankly at the Weird Baby her strange husband handed her, her face full of rejection.

"That won't do. Children need to be kept clean, otherwise they'll easily get sick."

Sheng Qingqiao argued logically, "What if we catch a cold and get sick from washing in the middle of winter?"

"No, you washed it perfectly fine before."

"Since I washed it last time, it's your turn this time." Sheng Qingqiao handed the child forward. "You can't always make me do things, right?"

The strange husband was speechless.

Sheng Qingqiao finally found a chance to go out last night. A single Dad chose him as a relative. When he arrived today, before he could even figure out the Rules, a child was strangely stuffed into his arms.

He could never agree to go to such a high-risk place as Bathroom.

But despite his refusal, after the eerie husband was rendered speechless and hurriedly left, he still had no choice but to stare at the ghost baby with a grim expression, looking towards the Bathroom.

This is terrible! He couldn't tell whether the Weird Baby in his arms or the Bathroom was more dangerous.

Sheng Qingqiao didn't want to go, but the strange child in her arms seemed to sense her "mother's" laziness and began a noisy attack of crying.

The baby's cries were loud and clear. He could only endure it for less than a minute before he began to hallucinate. The house in front of him began to flicker between light and darkness, and strange, eerie figures appeared in the room.

Sheng Qingqiao immediately got up and walked resolutely towards the Bathroom.

"You're the one who asked me to help you take a bath, so it's not my fault what the result is," he said to the eerie figure before going inside.

Meanwhile, early this morning, Lin Nieran was dragged out of bed by her Weird Mother.

Today is Monday, and some people in the community have already set up stalls to sell lanterns. The Weird Mother suggested taking Lin Nieran to the supermarket outside the community to buy fruit, but Lin Nieran refused, saying she didn't want to eat any.

He's currently in Instance within the neighborhood, and even if he could follow the Weird Mother out, he wouldn't be sure which door he'd exited through. He can't take that risk.

Fortunately, his mother spoiled him and went along with his wishes, only buying things at the community store. When they returned, they bumped into a pregnant woman in the neighborhood, and the two started chatting about the baby in her belly.

"Wow, how many months pregnant is this baby? The belly's quite big."

Lin Nieran idly observed the pregnant woman. How long had this strange creature been pregnant? Two or three years at most. The child should have been born long ago, but this pregnant woman was reluctant to let the child be born, which was why she kept pregnant.

The pregnant woman's strange behavior is normal most of the time, but she goes berserk when she's around children, and he usually avoids her.

Thinking this, he stared at the lantern his mother had bought for him again and again, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure quietly making his way to the North Gate.

The North Gate next to the community is open all year round, but there is a fence blocking the way so cars can't get in, but people can squeeze through the gaps.

Lin Nieran quietly turned his head to look. What were Mi Chuchu and An Ying doing here?
