Soon, the fifth power outage struck!

It was now five in the morning!

Dawn had begun to break, though it was still somewhat dim.

Compared to a whole night of darkness, the faintly brightening sky undoubtedly offered a sense of security.

Chen Han was naturally exhausted by now.

That exhaustion was both physical and mental.

His nerves were stretched to the limit.

This time, the circle of light appeared in a corner.

Fortunately, the circle had always appeared in the shallow end, never in the deep end.

Otherwise, no matter how fast Chen Han swam, he would have been doomed.

Chen Han soon reached his destination, but Fang Lei clearly couldn't keep up physically anymore.

He was a step behind Chen Han.

One look at Fang Lei's deathly pale lips told Chen Han that this guy definitely couldn't hold on any longer.

He reacted quickly and gave him a pull.

If Fang Lei died too, he would be all alone in this instance.

He would have nothing but a bunch of anomalies for company.

He would practically be scared to death.

Anything could change, but Chen Han's fear of anomalies remained as constant as ever.

When the livestream viewers saw Chen Han save someone, comments flooded the screen.

"Wow, Chen Han actually saved someone! He's just cold on the outside and warm on the inside!"

"Chen Han is so charming. He never drops the ball when it counts!"

"Don't get carried away playing saints, people above. From my years of watching rules horror livestreams, I've concluded that no one saves someone for no reason unless that person has value!"

"That's way too cynical, person above!"

"Don't believe me? Then keep watching. That scheming bastard Chen Han definitely found something about Fang Lei he could use!"

When Fang Lei saw that Chen Han had pulled him into the circle of light in one motion.

He nearly burst into tears.

He had actually already had a vague feeling that his stamina might not be enough this time.

And at the very instant Chen Han pulled him over.

He distinctly felt a hand brush lightly across his back.

Needless to say, that hand definitely belonged to an anomaly!

He had already resigned himself to certain death.

But he had never expected Chen Han to actually save him!

The feeling of coming back from the dead left him unable to put his emotions into words!

It was like finally managing to let go of something, knowing there was no hope left, and constantly telling yourself to accept it.

Only for the damn thing to actually come back to life!

Naturally, Fang Lei also understood that Chen Han wouldn't keep saving him forever.

Chen Han had saved him because he definitely thought he had potential, that he was someone worth cultivating.

But in what area could Big Boss Chen Han cultivate him?

Fang Lei fell into thought, his thinking slowed by his physical exhaustion.

Why not have a candy?

Fang Lei took a candy out of his back pocket.

He had picked up these candies at the front desk while following Big Boss Chen Han.

They really had come in handy.

He soon swallowed the candy.

Instantly, he felt completely refreshed.

Wait!

This candy definitely wasn't an ordinary candy!

Even if he ate an ordinary candy, he wouldn't recover this quickly.

This candy was very likely a stamina supplement the instance had specifically provided for players!

It just depended on whether the players could discover it.

At that thought, Fang Lei looked at Chen Han in shock.

Chen Han was perfectly composed.

He seemed utterly unconcerned with anything in the world.

He looked like a transcendent master detached from worldly affairs.

Fang Lei gave a bitter smile.

Fuck, had Big Boss Chen Han already thought of this...?

Well, that made sense. Sometimes, the gap between people already crossed the boundaries between species.

In front of Chen Han, everyone automatically became an idiot.

Since Big Boss Chen Han had already thought everything through, what the hell was the point of keeping him around?

Suddenly, a timid voice came from beside Chen Han.

It broke the silence.

Although Chen Han already knew this bastard was definitely that child whose head was covered in blood.

He still turned his head with extreme reluctance.

Previously, he had been able to ignore his presence the whole time.

But he hadn't expected this bastard to strike up conversations with players too, just like that earlier group of children in red.

Who could have expected that?!

"Big brother, I'd like a candy too. Could you give me one?"

At that moment, blood from the child's face dripped onto the ground.

He looked both miserable and pitiful.

The livestream chat immediately changed its tune.

"Why not just give this child a candy?"

"He looks so pitiful."

"Boohoo, why did they beat him up like this?"

"Are you nuts?! This child obviously isn't anything good either."

"Why bother with him? Aren't you afraid he'll turn out to be black beneath that innocent exterior?"

Chen Han fell silent for a moment before taking a candy out of his pocket anyway.

He didn't hand it to him, once again choosing to leave it at the poolside.

The child looked delighted and immediately picked it up.

It was as though no one had been willing to give him anything this nice in a long time.

Chen Han had originally thought that would be the end of it.

He hadn't given this child candy out of pity, but because-fuck, could he please just hurry up and leave?!

Right now, out of sight, his hands were practically shaking as though he had Parkinson's.

No matter how pitiful he was, he was still an anomaly!

But what he never could have expected was.

Fang Lei suddenly spoke.

"Little bro, how about taking us out of here?"

The child froze.

Chen Han froze too.

Fuck!

Bro, don't court death!

Then the child seemed to make some sort of decision.

"I can take you big brothers out, but we absolutely can't let them find out!"

A question surfaced in Chen Han's mind.

Who were they?

"They hit people. Before, whenever they couldn't find any money on me, they would beat me within an inch of my life!"

At that point, his glistening tears fell drop by drop.

They streamed down the wounds covering his face.

It was extremely convincing!

Fang Lei nodded.

"Okay, Big Boss Chen Han and I won't let them find you. Take us out of here."

Fang Lei soon climbed out of the swimming pool.

All the while, he kept looking at Chen Han with a very strange gaze.

Chen Han genuinely couldn't figure out what Fang Lei was playing at.

But since Fang Lei had chosen to leave now.

He might as well leave too.

It definitely wasn't because he was afraid of staying in the same pool as the anomalies.

After Chen Han got out.

His watch suddenly lit up.

Puzzled, he looked at the electronic screen that had appeared before him.

Holy shit, these were new rules!

[1. Please do not let the child walk behind you. If you accidentally walk ahead of the child, please give him what he wants most.] [2. A child's world is very pure. Good and evil are only an instant apart. Please keep him happy, and watch your words at all times.] [3. Please find the child's corpse.] [4. Please trust the child. The child will lead you to the truly correct path.] [5. Do not let them catch you!] [6. Nights are very cold. Those who lose their towels will freeze to death. Please drape your towel over yourself.] [7. Do not refuse any of the child's requests.] [8. Do not believe anything the child says.] [9. The child likes staying in places where flowers are in full bloom.] [10. When you encounter danger, perhaps they can save your life.]
