[Happy Kids Swimming Pool 6] The older woman's scheme, a supernatural threat approaches!
When Blondie heard the older woman say that, his gaze toward Chen Han began to turn hostile too.
"If he tries to sell us out, I'll be the first to kill him!"
The corners of the older woman's lips lifted when she heard Blondie say that.
But her eyes shifted several times, as though she had come up with another nasty scheme.
"Honestly, in the world of rules-based horror, you can never guard against some people enough."
"Young man, of course I want everyone to make it through alive."
After hearing what the older woman said, Blondie merely shrugged indifferently.
As far as he was concerned, his life wasn't worth much anyway. Whatever came his way, he'd just go for it.
The girl with the high ponytail said nothing. She just stared silently at the bottom of the pool.
There was no telling what she was thinking.
The older woman gave a cold snort, its meaning unclear.
When she entered the rules-based horror scenario, she had already figured one thing out.
Rather than standing united, it was better to split apart and establish a common enemy.
That way, she could secure the greatest benefit for herself.
The livestream showed everyone's perspectives, laying the evil in human nature bare before the audience.
The bullet comments were now engaged in heated discussion too.
"Holy shit, what's wrong with this woman? She's stirring up so much drama!"
"Unreasonable older women like her are the worst..."
"She'd be annoying even if she weren't an older woman, wouldn't she? She's just like one of those malicious senior employees at work, always screwing over newcomers without a shred of conscience!"
"Exactly, exactly."
"I feel like Chen Han's in danger now. Hypocrites like her are the scariest."
Naturally, Fang Lei had also noticed the older woman's hostile gaze.
He had even heard a few of her remarks outright.
Fang Lei glanced at Chen Han and found his face expressionless.
He couldn't help marveling inwardly. Badass.
Even being slandered like this hadn't changed his expression. As expected of a big shot, his mental fortitude was impressive.
Fang Lei said, "Boss, you already knew they were that sort of people, so that's why you chose me, right?"
Chen Han scratched his head.
"I think you have a lot of potential."
Hearing Chen Han say that immediately put Fang Lei much more at ease.
He had a big shot backing him now. Why should he fear those small fry?
The vast majority of the bullet comments on Chen Han's side supported him.
"This side actually knows how to play."
"Chen Han can't even be bothered to argue with those people!"
"This Fang Lei has a good eye!"
"Why is everyone watching Chen Han's perspective a brainless fan?"
"There are way too many mediocre people with inflated egos in this stream. He's a nobody with nothing going for him, but after this middle-aged man flatters him a little, he actually thinks he's going to soar?"
"Agreed. I feel like Chen Han's supporters haven't even graduated elementary school!"
Of course, Chen Han had no idea what Fang Lei had imagined this time.
But since he had asked sincerely, Chen Han had simply given him a random answer.
After all, Fang Lei was currently the contender he had high hopes for.
Perhaps Fang Lei could even carry Chen Han to success.
Chen Han now continued analyzing the remaining rules.
Only rules 5 and 9 remained unresolved.
The other rules had all reached preliminary conclusions, either through Chen Han's own analysis or Fang Lei's.
Rule 5 said that the supernatural entities were highly likely to invite players to compete, and the players could not refuse.
When Chen Han read this rule, he also glanced toward the deep end, where most of the supernatural entities were.
Wait!
When did so many black, ribbon-like objects appear in the deep end?
These black, ribbon-like objects were most visible around the drains.
They were not very obvious elsewhere.
Fang Lei had been carefully observing Chen Han's every move all along.
Seeing Chen Han examining the newly appeared black, ribbon-like objects, he froze too.
Then he said tentatively, "We didn't seem to see those earlier. It looks like these black, ribbon-like objects increase over time."
Hearing Fang Lei say that, Chen Han nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had no idea how Fang Lei had reached that conclusion, he had to maintain his big-shot persona.
He couldn't look surprised, or how would Fang Lei respect him?
Seeing Chen Han nod in approval made Fang Lei feel very proud too.
After all, he had received the approval of the big shot Chen Han.
The bullet comments started pouring in too.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Fang Lei really knows how to suck up."
"Fang Lei's genuinely capable. He's so good at bootlicking the boss."
"How is this bootlicking? It's called catering to someone's tastes, get it?"
"These black ribbon-like things look dangerous."
"A rules-based horror scenario with a swimming pool is bound to involve drowning."
This seemingly uneventful situation, in which everyone actually harbored their own schemes, did not last long.
The supernatural entities had, in fact, been playing in the pool in a mechanical fashion all along.
But anyone with eyes could tell that their every move was predictable, like programmed code.
One man among these supernatural entities moved, swimming stiffly straight toward the players.
Previously, he had been floating in the deep end, doing the backstroke.
But now, summoned by who knew what, he swam over just like that.
He swam from the deep end into the shallow end and would soon reach the players.
Fang Lei immediately grew nervous.
"Fuck, please don't come over..."
"If you come over to race me, I'll fight you to the death!"
Chen Han's hands were trembling slightly underwater too.
He had only taken swimming lessons for a while as a child. Other than being able to swim, he had no advantages now.
If he encountered a supernatural entity that could really swim, he would be eliminated for certain.
The supernatural entity did not swim toward Chen Han's side. Instead, he swam toward the older woman's group.
Just before he came within three meters of the older woman, the supernatural entity suddenly stopped again.
Now, he looked at the older woman, Blondie, and the girl with the high ponytail.
"Which of you wants to race me?"
As he spoke, he revealed a chilling smile.
The corners of his mouth kept rising and rising.
Until they stretched all the way to his temples.
At the same time, the moment he asked that question, every supernatural entity present except the lifeguard...
Turned to look in the older woman's direction.
They also revealed identical eerie smiles, though theirs remained mere smiles, without undergoing a monstrous transformation.
For a moment, the older woman, Blondie, and the girl with the high ponytail said nothing.
Blondie was simply scared, while the girl with the high ponytail was observing something.
As for the older woman, she was cooking up another nasty scheme.
Because he received no answer for so long...
His form began to twist.
Black sludge began dripping from his head and face, drop by drop.
At the same time, he gave off a strong, nauseating smell of asphalt.
The bullet comments exploded.
"Why is he starting to transform without another word?"
"Who's going to race him, then?"
"I feel like if they don't race him, once he finishes transforming, he'll kill everyone here!"
"Weren't they running their mouths just now? The moment something happens, they chicken out. I'm dying, hahaha!"
"The older woman's charging up her ultimate."
