Chapter 83: The Legendary Strongest Newcomer

After leaving the slaughterhouse in the basement, the group of people walked along the corridor.

A door stood at the end of a dark corridor, above which was a dimly lit green sign — “Safety Exit”.

Yun Bilan lowered her head and looked at the time.

Only three minutes were left to reach forty-five minutes.

She took a step naturally: “Let’s go, we’d better hurry…”

Suddenly, a slender hand stretched out from the side and abruptly covered the screen of her phone, blocking most of the light.

Yun Bilan was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look.

The young man beside her shook his head slowly.

Her pupils suddenly shrank.

Wait…

Be sure to leave the haunted house within forty-five minutes, it was the green-haired clown who told them! If they leave rashly now, it would be just repeating the old path of Brother Fatty—

Trust the frog.

“Wait!” Yun Bilan’s voice changed a bit, and she grabbed Elise, who was walking out naturally, while Ball next to her was firmly pulled back by Wen Jianyan: “Don’t go out!”

“Forty-five minutes are going to be over soon; we have to leave before it…”

Elise and Ball murmured.

Obviously, they were quite normal before seeing the exit, but now they seem to be trapped, and their bodies were moving uncontrollably. Each muscle in their bodies was tense, trying to break free from the hands of Yun Bilan and Wen Jianyan.

Fortunately, there were two sober people; otherwise, there was really no way to completely hold them down.

Wen Jianyan’s slender arms circled Ball’s neck from behind and strangled him in his arms in a professional posture.

Ball struggled, scratching the young man’s taut arm with his fingers, his eyeballs bursting out from suffocation, but he still tried to walk out unswervingly.

Although his behavior was weird and paranoid, his language function seemed normal, and he seemed to be able to communicate normally:

“Why are you stopping me? Hurry up; we have to leave before forty-five minutes…”

“Fake, that’s bait!”

Yun Bilan was much tougher than Wen Jianyan.

She grabbed Elise’s arm with one hand and slapped the other’s face with the other, making a crisp “snap” sound: “Wake up!”

Wen Jianyan stood in his place, looking thoughtfully at the struggling Ball in his arms.

This was a great opportunity.

When Brother Fatty was confused by the rules just now, both he and Yun Bilan were trapped in the doll’s house, not only unable to stop the other party but also unable to observe the other party’s state and having no way of knowing whether this state could be broken from the outside.

But this time, it was different.

The two were by his side now, giving him an excellent opportunity to observe them closely.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes with a dignified and anxious expression. There was concern hidden in the amber eyes, and he whispered hurriedly: “No matter what method we use, we must wake them up, otherwise…”

Yun Bilan gritted her teeth: “…you’re right.”

She also didn’t want to see what happened to Brother Fatty happen again.

“You can do whatever you want.” Yun Bilan took a deep breath and said firmly, “I’ll take responsibility.”

The young man smiled silently: “Okay.”

In the next three minutes, Wen Jianyan and Yun Bilan tried almost all the methods.

Neither rational persuasion, direct beating, verbal communication, nor painful stimulation could pull these two people out of this irrational state.

Soon, the time limit of forty-five minutes was up.

After the seconds counted down to zero, Wen Jianyan felt that the body he was tightly strangling suddenly softened, and he no longer struggled to walk toward the door.

“Let go, let me go; breathe, I can’t breathe—”

Ball said in a suffocating voice, and he raised his hand with difficulty to pat Wen Jianyan’s arm.

Elise on the side also seemed to have regained her senses: “…What’s wrong? Why is everyone standing here?”

She gasped, “Hiss,” and said:

“It hurts.”

Wen Jianyan loosened his hand.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Ball coughed violently.

He clutched his injured throat and glared at Wen Jianyan: “What are you doing?!”

Ball felt pain everywhere.

His face was hot, and his stomach felt as if he had been hit hard. His insides were twitching, as if someone had beaten him hard.

“Did someone hit me?” He touched the corner of his bleeding mouth. His facial features were slightly distorted, and he asked doubtfully, baring his teeth.

As the culprit, Wen Jianyan raised his hand innocently, indicating that he did not do it.

The crisis was over.

Yun Bilan breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain the current situation to the two people in front of her at the fastest speed.

Wen Jianyan listened intermittently, sorting out the known information in his mind.

Judging from the current situation, people who believed in the wrong rules could not break free from the vicious circle according to their own logic and thinking ability, nor could they be awakened by the words and actions of others. Only when “the required conditions for the wrong rules couldn’t be met” could they restore reason. This kind of rule that used line-of-sight as the main restriction criteria was still okay. If it was the previous rule of Brother Fatty that used a specific action as the main criteria, he was afraid that the only way to crack it would be to drag the other party out of that restricted zone.

After learning what had happened, both Ball and Elise were silent, and fear flashed in their eyes.

If the two of them hadn’t been pulled back just now, they were afraid they would have followed in the footsteps of Brother Fatty and become the target of being parasitized by frog eggs.

Recalling what happened just now, everyone’s scalp tingled.

It was really too dangerous.

“However, unlike the two of them, you woke up very quickly just now.” Wen Jianyan looked at Yun Bilan meaningfully.

Yun Bilan was taken aback.

Indeed.

Although she was confused for a moment at first, Wen Jianyan only made a move to block the phone, which woke her up, which was completely different from the behavior of the other two, who couldn’t be pulled back.

Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes, pondered for two seconds, and took the lead in expressing the conclusion he had been thinking all the way:

“So I suspect that this instance is likely to use a certain degree of mental pollution as the basis of judgment.”

For those with a low degree of pollution, it was possible for them to restore sanity with the help of external forces, but those with high pollution levels could only wake up when the conditions couldn’t be fulfilled.

“It’s probably because of this that the prop you threw out was useless to Brother Fatty.”

The reason why it was ineffective was because this instance was not just a simple “biological parasitism”, but a deeper spiritual pollution.

Wen Jianyan continued to follow this line of thought, slowly perfecting his own thinking:

“If you make a guess based on this theory, even if Brother Fatty had worn gloves when he touched the emergency button, I don’t think it would’ve affected the final result. Or to put it another way, if the two of us directly touch the red emergency button, we won’t fall into the same situation as Brother Fatty—maybe there will be danger, but we won’t die so quickly because we haven’t reached that degree of mental pollution.”

If it would be infected simply by “touching the mucus”, then the solution to this instance was very simple, and there was no need to consider those irregular rules; it was enough to prevent direct contact with the outside world through various methods.

However, Wen Jianyan didn’t think this instance could be cracked so easily.

Its underlying rules were far more complicated than they appeared on the surface.

In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:

[God… this instance has just started for more than an hour, right? The anchor has already found the key point of mental pollution. Awesome!]

[?! Wait, it’s my first time watching Fantasy Amusement Park! So the anchor’s conclusion just now is correct?]

[Yes, the reason for the high mortality rate in the early stage of Fantasy Amusement Park is here. It relies on mental pollution to reduce the number of anchors. As long as the conditions are met, whether you wear gloves and have healing and purification medicines in the backpack, it doesn’t matter.]

[F*ck… If that’s the case, then this instance is really dangerous! My back feels cold.]

[Am I the only one who noticed the words used by the bigshot who explained the rules just now? The reason for the high death rate in the “early stage” is here? Does it mean that there are other reasons in the middle and late stages?]

[Oh my god, I seem to understand the reason why this instance was shut down… This can be an S-level instance!]

Wen Jianyan looked at the others: “Anyway, let’s get out of here first.”

Yun Bilan nodded:

“You’re right.”

Four people walked through the gate of the haunted house together and returned to the thriller zone.

There was no difference between the thriller zone now and before they left. Cheerful music was flowing in the air, and the fragrance of popcorn and candy could be faintly smelled in the nose, but it made people unable to relax at all.

Everyone looked toward the door of the haunted house in unison.

The place where the green-haired clown sat was empty, leaving only an empty table. The entrance to the haunted house was blocked, and it seemed impossible to enter again.

“It seems that if one completes the challenge alive, the park project will be closed automatically.”

Wen Jianyan’s eyes darkened.

No wonder.

In this way, the problem of the exchange of information between the anchors could be solved. Although someone had completed the challenge alive, the project was closed. Even if he told other anchors how he passed the level, the information would be meaningless to them.

This also made time more urgent.

If the number of anchors who passed the level increased, it meant that more and more projects would be closed, and there would be fewer and fewer projects for them to experience. If the main task stipulated that they needed to experience five projects, then the last batch of anchors was definitely the most unfavorable.

“What’s next? Which project are we going to play?”

Yun Bilan turned to look at Wen Jianyan.

Unknowingly, the anchor with the lowest level among them had gradually become the backbone of the entire team and couldn’t be ignored. There always seemed to be a strange power in the other party, which made people believe him from the bottom of their hearts.

They couldn’t resist asking or even listening to the other person’s opinion.

Wen Jianyan fell into deep thought.

Now the best way was, of course, to leave the thriller zone, go to the gift shop to buy clown dolls, and then come back here to play new items. But this would inevitably lead to two problems, whether there would be problems with the dolls purchased for the second time, and whether the projects in the thriller zone would be closed during this time, and whether they would have to go through a long, possibly fruitless waiting period.

More importantly, the staff in different zones should be wearing different clothes. For example, the theme of the thriller zone was obviously clowns, but that was not necessarily the case in other zones.

If the Thriller Zone park project shut down, it wouldn’t matter if they had clown dolls in their hands.

After a short thought, Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and said with certainty:

“Let’s go to the themed roller coaster.”

According to the information on the ticket, 80% of the clowns were problematic, so they could at least have some psychological preparation before entering this project.

“But… our number?” Ball asked hesitantly.

There were only four of them now, so they couldn’t get on the roller coaster. Unless the transparent fifth person was still there, they probably wouldn’t be able to enter the roller coaster project.

“Don’t worry.”

Wen Jianyan pointed outside of the park and saw a team of three anchors approaching in this direction. He smiled:

“I don’t think there will be any problem with the number of people this time.”

*** 

“Thriller zone.”

The anchor with a beautiful face and charming eyes frowned, and a hint of flinching flashed in her eyes: “I still feel that this place is very dangerous…” 

“Indeed.”

The leading man nodded: “However, our purpose is to find props, isn’t it? There is a great possibility of high rarity hidden items here.” 

“That’s right, and we have to meet up with that unknown rookie teammate; he is very likely to be here.”

Wen Ya interjected.

She was sent into this instance by Eternal Day this time, and one of the tasks was to connect with the legendary strongest newcomer and persuade him to join her guild.

Since the other party cooperated with Eternal Day only for props, they would definitely take the initiative to actively search for the existence of props.

Therefore, the possibility of this newcomer in the thriller zone was not small.

At this moment, approaching footsteps were heard not far away.

The three of them stopped talking and turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice.

They saw a slender young man walking toward this direction, his amber eyes narrowed slightly, with a smile on his lips: “He—” 

“……”

Wen Ya’s eyes slowly widened as she stared at the young man in front of her, so shocked that she almost forgot to breathe.

This face.

This smile.

She would never forget!

This was the person who pretended to be an NPC named Lin Qing in the instance of Fukang Private Hospital, not only deceived them all the way to the red side, but he was also the captain of the black side who took away the legendary items when they escaped—

That dog liar!!!!

The author has something to say: 

When enemies meet, they are extremely furious.
