The Escape Begins

A few hours ago:

Bai Yang finished making the third Weird Doll, which was a beautiful black Little Cat.

After the black kitten was born, it stretched on the table, its tail held high, and its expensive gem-like eyes made its fur look clean and noble.

Bai Yang merged the Parasitic Spirit into it, and soon the cat's round pupils were half-open, turning into an expression of disdain and speechlessness.

"Are you done?" Qin Rang walked over with a property ownership certificate in his hand, staring curiously at the Little Cat with its eyes half-open on the table.

He had intended to say something complimentary, but seeing its expression, he couldn't help but remark, "Why does this cat have such a smug look on its face?"

Bai Yang picked up the Little Cat, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly very cute."

"... She is quite cute." But she looks so smug.

"Let's go, you can leave now."

They changed the name on the property certificate to Wang Yan, which was also the name of the shop owner. After leaving the Tailor Shop, the two coincidentally encountered some children on the street.

Seeing that their companions were located not far away, they followed the Rules and brought their children to their companions' location, where they happened to encounter Tao Yuan carrying a huge Chainsaw and sawing the Security Room door in half.

"Go! The Security Guards are catching up!"

Sheng Qingqiao and An Ying rushed out after Tao Yuan. Their eyes lit up when they saw the two of them, and they each grabbed one and ran away.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Bai Yang was being dragged along by Sheng Qingqiao by the collar, staggering as he was forced to move.

Qin Rang was being led away by An Ying as they fled, but he didn't forget to look back at her along the way.

Inside the Security Room, countless eerie black shadows squeezed out from the narrow crack in the door, their charred bodies and withered heads emitting a pungent, acrid smell of burnt and rotting flesh.

"Boom!"

The door frame was torn apart by the frenzied Security Guards, and a dense horde of eerie creatures surged in like a zombie horde; a quick scan revealed at least a hundred. The strange child they had just brought with them had long since vanished.

Even Qin Rang felt a chill run down his spine, and his speed suddenly increased.

"What did you do? You've stirred up trouble here?!" Bai Yang stared incredulously at Sheng Qingqiao was holding on, otherwise, at his speed, he would already be in the Security Guards' mouths.

"Who knew it would turn out like this!" Sheng Qingqiao cried out, "We didn't trigger any Rules at all! It's this weirdo who's so unethical!"

"Careful!"

Bamboo Umbrella drifted by, deflecting a ghostly hand that reached out to grab it. The Security Guards flew past Bai Yang's cheek in a bizarre manner. An Ying pulled the energy lines, closed the umbrella, and retaliated, the Umbrella Sword piercing through the eerie arm.

Thank you.

Bai Yang quickly took out the Little Bear and placed it on his shoulder. The plush teddy Little Bear was almost blown away by the wind as soon as it appeared. It quickly grabbed the clothes on his shoulder to steady itself. The fur on its face was blown messily by the wind.

"Get out of here!"

Sheng Qingqiao's Broadsword also burst into flames, and with a single strike, several of the Security Guards behind him were burned to ashes. His Broadsword was always incredibly effective at eliminating monsters.

"Go to the stalls ahead and shake them off!" Tao Yuan kept hacking away at the monsters that pounced on him with his Chainsaw, but there were too many of them. They kept popping up one after another, and if you weren't careful, one of them would seize an opening and tear a piece of flesh from your arm.

She hissed; the Chainsaw, such a heavy weapon, was still too disadvantageous when facing a large group of monsters, and it was a bit clumsy to swing it.

"Good!"

The group changed direction, and the first wave of Security Guards who had emerged from behind them had already caught up with them.

"Roar!"

The Charred Corpse Weird roar, and the Electric Baton in its hand erupted with a powerful electric current, sending blue-purple lightning bolts striking the crowd.

"Zzz--"

Bai Yang, who was at the back, felt a chill run down his spine. An Ying was beside him, released Qin Rang without hesitation, opened her Bamboo Umbrella, and blocked Bai Yang under the umbrella.

The electric light fell on the Bamboo Umbrella, but instead of being absorbed, it was absorbed.

An Ying dragged Bai Yang to Sheng Qingqiao's side. "Be careful, the Security Guards' Rules is to expel Outsiders. If their Electric Baton hit you, you'll definitely be seriously injured."

As they were talking, An Ying's Bamboo Umbrella was struck by several Electric Batons, and the umbrella surface made an overloaded creaking sound.

Sheng Qingqiao pulled Bai Yang up again, An Ying also closed her umbrella, repelling the several strange creatures behind them, and then increased their speed again.

"These strange Rules are a bit like the Diamonds Weird," Bai Yang asked.

"We also suspect they're related to the eerie nighttime occurrences; maybe they're the Diamonds Weird of the night!" Tao Yuan's cheek was pierced by the eerie claws, blood streaming down her face. But she felt no pain at all, and continued to wield the Chainsaw with practiced ease.

The eerie creature caught up with Bai Yang once again. Just as its claws touched Bai Yang's hair, it was punched by the Little Bear on his shoulder, its head and body being shattered into pieces by the powerful force.

The Little Bear grabbed Bai Yang's clothes with one paw and kept punching with the other, crushing any approaching eeriness with its furry fists.

Although the two were at the back, Sheng Qingqiao's pressure was actually reduced a lot because of Little Bear's efficiency.

The group plunged into the Snack Stall, instantly blocking the eerie, densely packed group that surrounded them from all sides. The pressure around them eased, and they immediately sped up.

"This can't go on. These strange creatures are relentlessly pursuing us; we'll eventually exhaust ourselves." Qin Rang, panting, turned to Sheng Qingqiao and asked, "What have you done?"

"We didn't do anything. These Security Guards locked us in the room. We were waiting for Security Guards to return, but then we found a note on the floor that said anyone locked in the Security Guard Room was Outsider."

"The Street Rules seem to portray the Security Guards as people who help us, but they're really just trying to trick us into locking us up so they can get rid of us. So we tore down the buildings where the Security Room were holding people."

"Back then, some of them called us 'Outsiders,' 'child thieves,' 'Fake Guests,' and things like that."

While fighting, Sheng Qingqiao spoke without interruption, saying angrily, "We had just opened the first door when these things suddenly appeared. We rushed out and saw you."

Bai Yang, breathless from running, exclaimed, "Great... great! If I'd known... I would have come later!"

Qin Rang gritted his teeth. "It seems this monster is desperate. We must have found something it cares about, which is why it's willing to kill us at all costs."

"Bang!"

The Electric Baton was knocked away, and the strange creature pounced and stuck to Sheng Qingqiao's back. Its sharp claws pierced through Sheng Qingqiao's body. Sheng Qingqiao felt a pain in his abdomen, and before he could draw his knife, the strange creature was kicked away by the Little Bear on Bai Yang's shoulder.

"Thank you." Sheng Qingqiao grimaced as she pressed her bleeding abdomen. "This has really turned into Battle Royale."

"You still have the nerve to joke around?"

The narrow streets made it difficult for the eerie creatures to keep up, but that didn't mean they could get rid of the trouble. There were no shops open nearby, so they had nowhere to hide.

They dragged the Security Guards around the street for more than ten minutes, killing more than a dozen monsters, but the number of monsters behind them did not decrease at all; instead, the group became covered in wounds.
