Puppy Plush Toy

"Knock knock!"

The piercing knocking made both of their hearts leap into their throats. The sound was very close; it must have been—knocking on Bai Yang's door.

Bai Yang looked at Qin Rang, and although he didn't say anything, Qin Rang understood his retort.

He's saying that nothing good comes from getting involved with him.

Qin Rang rolled his eyes in annoyance. How could this be blamed on him?

"Knock knock--"

Three more sounds rang out, and the thing that received no response began to walk away into the distance.

Only after the sound completely disappeared did Qin Rang's tense expression relax slightly, and he and Bai Yang let out a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, his hand touched a damp spot under the door. He put it to his fingertip and smelled it; a strong, pungent smell of blood hit him.

"Outside, someone has died."

He said softly.

Bai Yang frowned. "You saw that banquet, didn't you?"

Qin Rang nodded. "So you also think that the people who die are very important in this Instance?"

Bai Yang nodded. "Find the murderer who killed these people, kill him, resolve the crisis at the banquet, and we can avoid that outcome."

"But now we don't know who the deceased is, nor who the murderer is, so even if we wanted to stop the killer, we couldn't."

Qin Rang asked, "Are you the only one from your organization?"

Bai Yang did the math and shook his head. "They've come... I'd say five."

Where are they?

"The Writer's special status prevented them from coming out, and some of you have probably already encountered the other two," Bai Yang said, suddenly feeling a chill run down his spine. "Don't you feel like there's something blocking our doorway?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Rang looked at the increasing bloodstains flowing through the crack in the door, slowly took out the Evil Ghost Mask from his pocket, and gestured for Bai Yang to step aside.

Bai Yang stepped aside to make room for him, Qin Rang quietly opened the door.

He had barely opened the door a crack when he was horrified by a bloodshot eye peering through the gap.

It was a person with their head drooping and their body twisted, leaning against the crack in the door.

His head was facing the crack in the door, deliberately positioned so that whenever someone opened the door from the inside, the corpse would fall face-to-face onto him.

"Bai Yang, hold the door open."

"Okay." The Little Rabbit next to Bai Yang grew to be as tall as a person and used its cotton body to firmly block the door.

Qin Rang reached out and caught the falling body, thinking he should ask Bai Yang to open the door wider so he could drag the body in. But just as he turned to look at Bai Yang, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.

It was just a moment of panic, but he quickly recovered. Qin Rang blinked, and before he could think any further, his eyes met a strange face.

That face was the face of the corpse that had just been in his arms.

His gaze shifted downwards, and the corpse in his arms was now just a headless body.

Qin Rang instantly released his grip and kicked the headless corpse away, while simultaneously bending down to dodge the head's bite and quickly shoving the Evil Ghost Mask onto his face.

At the same time, Bai Yang also released the Puppy Plush Toy.

The Puppy Plush Toy instantly swelled up and bit Qin Rang.

Qin Rang, wearing Evil Ghost Mask:...

He turned to look at Bai Yang: "What are you doing?"

"This puppy can boost your energy by biting people," Bai Yang laughed.

Qin Rang: Why don't you go sit at the same table as Sheng Qingqiao? What kind of strange Rules and side effects are these?

The strangely shaped head rolled a long distance on the ground after being slapped twice by Qin Rang, whimpering, "Ouch, ouch--"

The eerie corpse circled several times before finally touching its own head. It placed the severed head on its skull wound, its murky eyes fixed on the two men. "You... killed me?"

Bai Yang waved his hand. "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing to it!"

"Let's go!" Qin Rang irritably, pulling Bai Yang towards the door. "Didn't you feel the Rules emanating from him? Why waste your breath on them! Be careful, don't let them touch you, or you'll violate a serious death Rules!"

Bai Yang asked curiously, "How do you know? When did the Evil Ghost Mask develop the ability to recognize Rules?"

"It's available after the energy upgrade!" Qin Rang said as he ran, "But it's not very accurate; the recognition Rules are quite broad, so it's best to be cautious."

"Your Weird Object abilities are truly unfair!"

Qin Rang said incredulously, "You have the nerve to say I fouled?"

Every single one of those guys in your organization is more foul-breaking than him? Are you kidding me?

The two ran wildly down the Corridor, exchanging sharp words without holding back.

The Castle Corridors were very long, and despite their fast running, the two could not shake off the eerie, severed head chasing after them.

Thump!

Suddenly, the wind behind them changed, and the two instinctively bent down and lunged forward, as a round object flew out from above their heads.

Bai Yang looked up and saw a familiar head flying in front of them.

The two were blocked by heads in front of them, and behind them were headless corpses stumbling and chasing after them.

Qin Rang's Evil Ghost Mask ignited with a ghostly blue light, and the ferocious flames had already spread to the edges of the mask.

He turned around, clenched his fist, and slammed it down hard on the headless corpse that was running towards him!

"Pfft--!"

The fist pierced through his body, Qin Rang's arm was embedded in the bloody hole, and his entire hand protruded.

The headless, eerie body twisted and struggled, its two hands gripping Qin Rang's neck. Where its skin touched Qin Rang's skin, the color slowly spread to a deathly bluish-gray.

Instead, the headless, eerie neck slowly regained its fleshy color, seemingly replacing him as a human.

However, this flesh color didn't last long before it was neutralized by the Rules of the Evil Ghost Mask, and Qin Rang's skin returned to normal.

Having experienced the Rules, Qin Rang understood them. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he opened his hand, which had pierced through the strange body, and pulled it back sharply with his five fingers forming a claw!

"Hiss--!"

A gaping hole, the size of a palm, was torn open in the flesh, and the headless creature staggered backward several steps, unable to recover.

Qin Rang glanced at the scattered pieces of flesh and blood on his palm, puzzled that the corpse had no internal organs; it was completely empty inside, as if everything inside had been completely corroded away, leaving only an empty shell.

The question flashed through his mind, and he quickly raised his head again, staring at the headless monster, a murderous intent rising in his heart.

Meanwhile, Bai Yang, accompanied by a dog and a Little Rabbit, began to catch the lively human head.

Seeing the head lunging at him with its mouth wide open, Bai Yang raised his leg and delivered a precise kick.

Thump!

The man's head slammed into a door in the distance, cracking it open a crack. Bai Yang vaguely glimpsed what appeared to be light and a fleeting figure inside.

"Pain..."

The man, seeing stars from the impact to his head, cried out in pain while biting Bai Yang with even greater speed.

Bai Yang pulled the Little Rabbit over and used it as a shield in front of him, causing the human head to bite into a piece of cotton.

The Rabbit Plush Toy grabbed the person's head to control their movements. Seeing this, Bai Yang immediately shouted to the dog, "Dog, catch it!"

"Woof!"

The Puppy Plush Toy saw a ball flying towards it from afar and excitedly jumped into the air with its mouth open.

"Ahhh--!"

Wow, even toy dogs are playing with balls!

[The scene that was just terrifying has suddenly become humorous!]

[Haha, this is so funny!]

[Strange: For my peanuts, for my peanuts!]
