Hey! Bastard! Get Back Here

Yu Ba understood what he meant.

After all, as a newcomer, especially one assigned to Mi Lan, Lu Zhe didn't have much time for leisure.

They're either training or on a mission.

I stayed up all night last night writing the previous task report.

"Now, you have your chance."

After sensing the eerie energy here, Yu Ba said this.

Lu Zhe looked disgusted. "No, what I want is a safe yet exciting tabletop role-playing game where I can participate with others."

Yu Ba took out a device and threw it on the ground. "Safe."

This device is Time Rewind device.

Then he pointed inside. "Exciting."

The setting of the escape room already has some horror elements, and the dark environment amplifies people's fear, so it is very dark inside.

Then Yu Ba pointed to himself, "Let's go, the three-person tabletop role-playing game is about to begin. Lu Zhe, now let's find the team leader who's disappeared somewhere."

Yu Ba stepped into the secret room first.

Lu Zhe was on the verge of tears, but could only follow along. "That was truly a terrible start. Wait for me Yu Ba, to Supervisor."

Although this building is large and clearly cost a lot of money, it will likely suffer significant losses during the period of closure.

However, it was still within a kilometer range. Based on the location, Lu Zhe quickly found Mi Lan standing in a room.

The walls of this room are covered with many human bone artifacts.

Yu Ba breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mi Lan.

"What did you find?" He walked over and stood in the center of the room.

Mi Lan rested her chin on one hand, with the other in her pocket, her gaze fixed on a plaster statue on the altar.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Yu Ba turned his gaze to the plaster statue.

This statue was created by the society based on the image of a terrifying monster that was fictionalized online, and then modified.

It has a huge head, a body covered in scales, a powerful physique, and twisted limbs.

The person who made it is quite skilled; they combined the absurd and the terrifying very well.

They also aged the statue considerably.

Placing it in this environment, along with the surrounding furnishings and the dimly lit room, truly gives it the feel of a terrifying, evil stone statue.

When Mi Lan saw him staring at the stone statue, she immediately looked away.

Whistling, he went to investigate other parts of the room.

That expression, that behavior...

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the back of Yu Ba's head.

Absolutely, he definitely stepped into some kind of trap, that wretched kid!

"Hello..."

Just as he was about to look away to question Mi Lan...

The stone statue's eyes suddenly shifted, and the next moment, Yu Ba felt a gaze lock onto him.

That gaze was like a knife piercing my body, and at the same time, my body grew heavier and heavier, and my breathing became heavy.

It was as if... he was being watched by some extraordinary being.

A thought arose in his mind: he absolutely must not look directly at it; if their eyes met, he absolutely must not look away, otherwise... he would die!

A powerful energy descended.

Based on his Yu Ba years of experience dealing with strange occurrences, Yu immediately and instantly determined the situation he was in.

Yu Ba quickly shifted his gaze back to the stone statue, which looked like just an ordinary prop.

The next moment, the gaze that seemed to be watching him vanished.

The oppressive force also subsided.

Yu Ba didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Who could understand the feeling of almost dying?

And... he finally understood why, with Mi Lan's willful personality, she would obediently wait for them to come looking for her.

So it wasn't that I didn't want to move, it was that I simply couldn't move, you bastard!

So you're going to use this trick on him?!

A scapegoat, huh?

Why didn't you give him a hint...? No, if you had given him a hint, he probably would have refused to help because he wanted to see Mi Lan make a fool of herself. Did you even consider that?

Seeing that he had fallen for it, Mi Lan stretched and rubbed her eyes. "Ugh, I'm so tired. Why are there these cheating gadgets? You die if you look away from them?"

"Whoa, I almost died here!"

"We shouldn't do this before we turn our Bai Zuo predecessors into toys."

"Oh dear, Mr. Yu Ba, I'll have to stand here for a bit. I'll come rescue you after I've dealt with that monster. Good luck!"

After saying all that, Mi Lan slipped away as fast as she could.

[Ding! Mi Lan's Character Perfection increased by 2%!]

"Hey! You bastard! Come back here!"

"Explain this to me clearly. Why would ordinary props have rules?"

Hey! Don't run away!

Yu Ba's defenses were completely breached.

But his shouts didn't stop Mi Lan Mi Lan; instead, they made her run even faster.

"Wait... Senior Mi Lan..."

Lu Zhe stared at Mi Lan, who had vanished from sight, and at Yu Ba, who stood there motionless, still confused as to what had happened.

"W-what's wrong?"

"Lu Zhe, are you still there?"

"I'm here, I've always been here. I was just looking at the White Bone hanging on the wall, the models here are so realistic."

Lu Zhe sighed, and before he could continue observing, something he didn't understand was clearly happening behind him.

"Okay, it's good that you're here. Don't touch those things on the wall; it's not certain if they're props."

Yu Ba couldn't look away now; he found that as long as he slowed down his blinking or stared at the stone statue with one eye open and one eye closed, he could achieve the same results.

That oppressive force would not befall him.

But who knows how long he'll be standing there?

"Not a prop? Then what could it be?" Lu Zhe's brain hadn't even started thinking.

Only after he finished speaking did he realize what he meant.

It wasn't a prop; it was incredibly realistic. The Supervisor told him not to touch it.

Lu Zhe froze. To observe the White Bone, he was now very close to White Bone, almost pressed against the wall.

He stared at the White Bone hanging on the wall for a long time, then slowly, very slowly, backed away.

"Alright, help me see if there's anything strange in this room."

Yu Ba cannot look away now.

Then we can only let Lu Zhe, who is agile and free, go and explore.

"Isn't everything here... weird?" Lu Zhe looked at the White Bone hanging all over the walls, with some Spider and dust on them. He had just been thinking that this gang was really dedicated, even paying attention to these details.

I never imagined it was all true!

Hanging real human bones here, how many people are they trying to scare to death randomly?

"..." Yu Ba fell silent.

"Sigh, why haven't you become any braver?"

In order not to disappoint the Supervisor, Lu Zhe could only proceed with his investigation in the room with trepidation.
