Atmosphere? No Big Deal!!

If we don't know how to solve some problems, then dealing with the person who raised the problem is also a good solution.

The Shadow Guard were quite adept at concealment, especially given Bai Zhi's statement that whoever resisted first was an imposter, and his sincere demeanor that convinced the two Fireworks of Romance to believe him...

He pulled out a thick, long rope from his Inventory and tied up the two Fireworks of Romance in front of him.

To describe the process in detail...

"Holy crap!! The Shadowkhan!?!"

"Where on earth did you come from, Shendu???"

"No... since you already know who the imposter is, why did you tie us all up?"

"Also, why do you carry hemp rope in your Inventory? How many times have you done this before?"

"How come you're so skilled at this?!"

"Yes, I believe you, but your current actions make it hard for me to believe you... What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Imitation... I'm not an imposter!! I'm the Guild Master of [Big Bird Spinning Bar]!!"

"It's not that I don't trust you, but your actions... well, I'll trust you this once..."

"... Tying their hands is enough, why tie their feet?"

"Tying our feet together is one thing, but why tie us to the table too?!"

"Wait, what exactly did you take out???"

"This stuff... it can Dead Person, it really can Dead Person!!"

"Don't Come Over Here!!! do, I'll scream!! I really will scream!!"

"Wait, what are you wearing???"

"You're kidding me! What do you mean it won't hurt much? Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm going to die... Help!! Murder!!"

Bai Zhi: "..."

"... Do you know how annoying you two are?"

Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly. With a black Bai Zhi covering his eyes, he raised the Handgun in his hand and fired a shot in front of him without thinking.

With a muffled "bang," a woman known for her Fireworks of Romance was cleanly and decisively blown to the head by the Bullet.

Fireworks of Romance: "..."

"A whole 2000 points of Spiritual Energy...?"

Bai Zhi pulled off the Black Eye Mask from his face and looked at the ghost that had turned into a white light and drifted away in the room, as well as Fireworks of Romance, who was tied to the table and seemed to be a little frightened. He couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Skill he acquired from that Hell Town [Failed Writer], was an invincible weapon when used in matters of pure probability. However, even with so many methods to increase randomness, the Spiritual Energy Value consumed by that shot just now reached a terrifying 2000 points.

It's just a simple choice between two options... does it really consume that much Spiritual Energy?

For some unknown reason, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You really scared me to death just now. I almost thought I was going to die at your hands... You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

After being put down from the table, Fireworks of Romance looked shaken, her wrist still a little sore from moving it.

"Since you recognized me all along, why bother with all this..."

"Now is not the time to explain these things."

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi walked to the window and glanced outside.

"Check your Sanity Value to see if there's been any change. Hurry up, we're in a rush."

"You were in a rush just now..."

While muttering to himself, Fireworks of Romance reached out and opened his Attribute Panel.

However, when she saw a certain option on her Attribute Panel, her expression changed slightly.

"My Sanity Value is constantly decreasing... Is there Dungeon like Rose Manor that reduces Player's Sanity Value?"

"It's different. At least there were safe places in that Dungeon, but in this Dungeon, there are no safe places at all, from the moment you Dungeon..."

Bai Zhi turned his gaze away from the window and shook his head.

"How long can your Sanity Value last before it drops to the danger level?"

"... at most one day."

After doing a quick mental calculation, Fireworks of Romance's expression became slightly solemn.

Looking back at the Specter floating in the room, she asked Bai Zhi four questions in one breath.

"What do we do now? Is this thing unkillable? How did you get here? Where are your Teammate?"

"I'm not Blue Cat Naughty 3000 Questions, nor am I 100,000 Whys, but please hurry, we're in a rush."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi reached out and pulled over a chair, then sat down quite readily.

"See that Specter? That thing is indestructible. You'll have to defeat Anomaly using common methods before we can move on to the next location."

"The way of common... is this what the Ordinary World means?"

After a slight pause, Fireworks of Romance quickly realized what was going on.

"If we defeat the Anomaly stories using common methods, then we've cleared this Dungeon?"

"Things aren't as simple as you think, and they might even be worse. There are some things I haven't figured out yet, and if we don't figure them out, we could very well be wiped out here... Let's wait until we find more clues."

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi took out a can of Herbal Tea from his Inventory and drank it.

"Hurry up, I can't get involved in this."

"Uh... so do I still have to let this guy run onto my back?"

Looking up at the Specter drifting aimlessly in the living room, Fireworks of Romance's lips twitched slightly.

"Then common fight common other? But she clearly copy my Equipment, Skill, etc..."

"You were the one who used those Equipment and Skill first, weren't you?"

Bai Zhi got up at some point and brought a kettle of boiling water from the kitchen. He took out a cup of instant noodles from his Inventory and started making the noodles while calmly speaking.

"You'd better hurry, because your Sanity Value won't last much longer. Even without that music, the Player's memories will gradually return; that music just accelerated the process."

What's the use of premature memory recovery?

While forcing herself to stop goosebumps, Fireworks of Romance touched the Specter with her hand and asked with some confusion.

"Yes, for example, some people deal with Anomaly inappropriately. Before their memories are restored, they are very likely to be killed by the rampaging Anomaly. The early restoration of memories can ensure the Player's survival rate..."

Bai Zhi closed the lid of the instant noodle container and stuck his fork on the edge of the container.

"Furthermore, our Sanity Value is constantly decreasing within this Dungeon. Given that we can't access the System Interface, we don't actually have much time left."

"So, the real meaning of this Dungeon is to clear the Anomaly like common?"

With a bitter face, he watched the Young Girl who was exactly like him gradually materialize before him. He gathered up the table, chairs, pots and pans, Kitchen Knife and other things that could be used as weapons in advance and grabbed a Fireworks of Romance pan.

"Not only were all our memories sealed from the very beginning, but there's also the Sanity Value condition of sacrificing sanity... Hey, are you really going to start eating instant noodles like nobody's around? You're completely ruining the atmosphere!!"

Seeing Bai Zhi engrossed in eating instant noodles, Fireworks of Romance, who was preparing for battle, suddenly felt a little foolish.

Simply put, because of the presence of a certain man beside her, she felt the entire atmosphere of the Dungeon had changed, turning into a farcical comedy...

"Atmosphere? That's a minor thing."

Without looking up, Bai Zhi pulled out one of those Radio commonly used by middle-aged women doing Plaza dancing, and then pressed the switch.

"No matter how hard I try, I can't fly out of this colorful world."

"Turns out, I'm a Drunk Butterfly."

In an instant, the melodious music echoed throughout the living room.

Fireworks of Romance: "..."
