Wow, a Golden Legendary!!

Accompanied by Plaza dance music, and after a little effort, Fireworks of Romance, with a dark expression, used a frying pan to take down a certain imposter.

"... This thing is indestructible, isn't it?"

Seeing the Specter that had returned to its Ghost State and was floating back and forth in the living room, Fireworks of Romance's lips twitched as she turned to look at Bai Zhi.

"Was doing this even helpful? I feel like I was a Fool just now..."

"But a switch was turned on."

Bai Zhi calmly closed the empty Instant Noodle Box, grabbed a tissue from the side to wipe his mouth, and spoke.

"Based on the previous clues, each Player will be trapped in an Anomaly Scenario. Only by solving the Anomaly within this Anomaly Scenario can they leave and move on to the next Anomaly Scenario."

"... Anomaly Scenario?"

The Fireworks of Romance seemed slightly puzzling.

"Don't you remember? It seems you've never stepped out of this room. It's not that you don't want to, it's that you simply can't."

Bai Zhi reached out and turned off the Radio next to him, then picked up a notebook and waved it.

"Furthermore, there's the story you wrote... ten Player, ten Anomaly Scenario, all connected in a nested doll-like fashion."

At this point, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.

Because his memories were not sealed from the beginning, he may have missed some crucial clues in the first Anomaly Scenario, which was the subway.

Ten Anomaly Scenario, ten nested doll-like connections—do they progress from top to bottom, or are they like Ouroboros, endlessly unfolding?

If it's the former, it's alright. But if it's the latter, then all of them might be trapped and die in this Dungeon, because they are destined to find no way out.

This should have been a straightforward question once all ten Player were identified, but due to his Special, he underwent that unusual change at the very beginning, which could very likely have caused him to miss some important clues.

With gain comes loss, and with loss comes deficiency.

If he had also been in a state of sealed memories from the beginning, he might have been able to deduce more conclusions than he is now...

Is there also a nested Anomaly Scenario in that subway car that relates to a certain Player?

Perhaps it was a video being watched by the Passenger sitting next to you, or a piece of music playing over the subway's loudspeakers, or even the books you had placed under your bottom at the beginning?

... He missed this crucial clue.

However, this clue can still be salvaged later, as long as we keep following the trail.

After all, even if he had discovered it, he might not have recognized the unfamiliar Player.

Closed Loop and non- Closed Loop are two different concepts.

Player whose Sanity is constantly decreasing don't have much time left.

Hopefully, this isn't a Closed Loop...

Bai Zhi sighed slightly in his heart.

"Matryoshka dolls?"

Her gaze fell on the manuscript that Bai Zhi was holding up. After a slight pause, Fireworks of Romance reacted and spoke with a hint of disbelief.

"So, in my dream... the Passenger who was eaten by those cannibalistic Evil Spirit was you?"

"A dream? I thought it was a novel... Yes, because of your intervention, I was almost eaten."

He glared at the other person, Bai Zhi stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.

"Alright, let's hurry, we need to get to the next Anomaly Scenario. If I'm not mistaken, this should be... a Horror Movie or something."

During a brief pause, Bai Zhi glanced at the Specter wandering in the messy living room.

"A slovenly female writer living alone is haunted by Specter, leading to a series of bizarre and unbelievable events... a low-budget Horror Movie."

Fireworks of Romance: "..."

Just like the feeling when they stepped out of the subway, everything went black, and Bai Zhi and Fireworks of Romance found themselves in an empty Men's Dormitory.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly.

The Dormitory door was half open, and the Dormitory was empty.

On the Notebook on the table, a Game had already started, showing a score of 10:95. The seven opponents were beginning a brutal fountain camping attack...

"Is this the next Anomaly Scenario?"

Looking around, Fireworks of Romance, still wearing her Pikachu Pajamas, looked puzzled.

"No, it should be the previous one."

With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi walked over to the computer on his desk and glanced at it.

"The Player ID is [The World’s Seven Deadly Sins], so he must be the Player in this Anomaly Scenario... Let's go, let's continue to the previous one."

"Aren't we going to find this Player?"

Looking back at Bai Zhi walking towards the Dormitory entrance, Fireworks of Romance seemed slightly confused.

"And if the Anomaly here aren't resolved, we won't be able to move on to the next... no, the previous Anomaly Scenario, right?"

"You think everyone else is as useless as you? He's already gone to the previous Anomaly Scenario."

Bai Zhi glanced back at the Fireworks of Romance, his face full of disdain.

"And hey, I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from me. I don't want to try anything like this [Team Wipe Engine]..."

"Hey, don't you think this Title is pretty cool?"

Fireworks of Romance spoke up, somewhat indignantly.

"This is Elite Level Title. How many Elite Level Title are there these days? You only have a Rare Level Title, right? Why..."

"Being strong is a matter of one version, but being handsome is a matter of a lifetime!!"

"..."

Just a door separates them, turning day into Hei Ye.

When Bai Zhi and Fireworks of Romance came to their senses, they found themselves and Tu Shu in the middle of a school campus at night.

The Teaching Building on campus were completely dark, with only a faint glow from the streetlights along the roadside.

"Are we... at a school?"

Looking back at the rows of bicycle sheds behind him, used for students to park their bicycles, Fireworks of Romance asked with a hint of surprise.

"This is Anomaly Scenario, probably set in a high school."

With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi turned and glanced back at the school gate.

"This Anomaly Scenario is considerably larger than the previous two... Let's go to the entrance and see if we can leave."

"Uh... I think we don't need to go see it."

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Fireworks of Romance poked Bai Zhi, who had just turned around, with his finger.

"Look over there, there's a Golden Light Streetlight King..."
