[Happy Kids Swimming Pool 14] The children approached the players. Should they go or stay?

Chen Han was still puzzled.

The girl with the high ponytail could make all the threats she wanted, but why had she thrashed around like that?

She had made Chen Han choke on water when he wasn't paying attention.

For a long time after the middle-aged woman's death,

Fang Lei hadn't said a word.

Chen Han observed Fang Lei's current reaction and discovered that the guy was actually shaking like a leaf.

The girl with the high ponytail was deathly pale, and she kept glancing at Chen Han.

Her face was full of disbelief.

Chen Han was confused. Hadn't the girl with the high ponytail killed her?

Why were they acting as though he had caused her death?

These two were even bigger cowards than he was.

Unbelievable.

Even though Chen Han's hands were still shaking inside his trouser pockets,

that didn't stop him from inwardly mocking the two of them.

The children's figures appeared again this time.

And they were clearer than before.

They could make out what colors the children were wearing.

The children were whispering about something.

"Do you think that brat will bring the top student over?"

"If he dares not to, I'll beat him to death!"

"True. Just looking at him pisses me off. That brat hasn't had any money at all lately..."

The viewers each had their own thoughts about the children's conversation.

"This is definitely a school bullying dungeon."

"I'm guessing the kid Chen Han saw earlier with blood all over his face was the one getting beaten."

"That raises a question: who's the top student?"

"This dungeon doesn't feel as simple as it looks."

"Children's malice is the scariest. No reason behind it, just pure evil!"

Soon, the third power outage ended.

It was exactly 3:10 a.m.

All that remained was to keep waiting out the time.

After the power returned, everyone was surprised to discover that the middle-aged woman's body had vanished.

Just like the blond guy's corpse, it had disappeared without a sound.

However, some of the middle-aged woman's bodily tissue remained in the pool.

It gave off a foul stench.

Chen Han had mixed feelings too, but he also understood that death was commonplace in the world of rules horror.

They had all died once anyway. It was no big deal!

Throughout the wait, the girl with the high ponytail and Fang Lei kept wearing strange expressions.

Chen Han paid them no mind, simply assuming they had been scared witless.

Soon, the fourth power outage arrived, and the time reached four in the morning.

This time, the circle of light appeared even later.

Even someone like Chen Han almost failed to reach it in time.

It was truly unsettling.

Wasn't this forcing their hand?

At the same time, the circle of light had shrunk even further.

Its diameter was no more than a meter.

It was rather cramped for three people.

If it was the fourth power outage, Chen Han reckoned it might not even fit all three of them.

Someone would definitely be shut out then.

The only question was who.

The children appeared again this time, and they were even clearer.

Their faces were perfectly visible.

There was a huge change in them this time.

The children no longer whispered among themselves as though they couldn't see the players.

Instead, they deliberately walked over to stand directly opposite Chen Han and the others.

The child in red at the front

crouched down.

He shouted at the players.

"Hey, you over there! Can you hear me?"

Chen Han said nothing.

The others wore differing expressions, but none chose to respond to the children either.

After all, they were supernatural entities. The biggest difference between them and the entities in the pool might have been that one group could talk while the other could only grin stupidly.

With nobody responding to him, he suddenly looked somewhat embarrassed.

But then he continued.

"The lifeguard's asleep now. You can leave the pool."

"I can take you out!"

After the child finished speaking,

he watched Chen Han and the others' reactions intently.

He seemed eager to read joy in their expressions.

The livestream chat was buzzing with discussion too.

"They don't seem to have good intentions!"

"I think they can go with them. Didn't rule seven say they could trust what children said during a power outage?"

"Agreed. I think the players should go with them now too."

"If they keep staying in the pool, there's a very good chance the entities will catch them next time!"

"The lifeguard really is asleep!"

Fang Lei had been watching Chen Han's reactions all along. If the big shot Chen Han decided to go with them,

then he would follow Chen Han without hesitation too.

After all, Chen Han's earlier acting, intelligence, and mastery of the rules had completely won him over.

But a long time passed, and Chen Han still didn't react.

"I'll go with you!"

At that moment, the girl with the high ponytail spoke to the children at the poolside.

Her teeth were chattering uncontrollably now.

The main reason was that an ordinary person couldn't endure staying in a pool for four hours.

Especially on a night with a cool breeze blowing.

The physical and mental toll were both enormous.

The girl with the high ponytail was certain she had only made it into the circle of light this time through sheer luck.

This was the closest the circle of light had ever spawned to her.

But she might not be so lucky next time.

So this time, she was going to leave the pool.

She would die either way, so she might as well choose an unknown path. There might still be a slim chance of survival.

The child in red at the poolside was clearly delighted to hear this.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

The three children behind him didn't look like normal people either.

They exuded a sinister aura.

"I could take you with me."

"But do you have any candy?"

"I haven't had candy in ages."

Candy?

The girl with the high ponytail instantly grew nervous when she heard the child in red say this.

Did he mean candy as she understood it?

Where was she supposed to find candy for them now? Wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for her?

The girl with the high ponytail scratched hard at her neck, unconsciously scratching it bloody.

Why?

Why couldn't she survive, even after trying so hard?

The child in red pursed his lips.

"Forget it..."

"I have candy."

The child in red heard another person's voice and turned toward it. It was Chen Han.

Chen Han had kept his hands in his pockets.

Naturally, he kept touching the candy he had swiped from the pool's front desk earlier.

He hadn't expected the candy to come in handy here.

Chen Han took a piece of candy from his pocket, but he didn't hand it directly to the child at the poolside.

Instead, he tossed it up.

When the child in red saw the candy,

his mood naturally lifted. Originally, he had only mentioned it in passing.

He hadn't expected to actually get any candy.

This was an unexpected delight for him!

He stuffed the candy into his pocket.

When the children behind him saw that the child in red had gotten candy,

they stared greedily at Chen Han, seemingly demanding in silence that he produce more candy for them.

Chen Han naturally felt their burning gazes.

Then he shrugged.

"I only had that one."
