Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

At that moment, a cold, metallic glint emanated from Bai Xi's body.

In just a moment, the metal covered Bai Xi's body, and then the colorful blade swept across, sparking electric arcs in the air and making a crackling sound.

The Icarus, combined.

The wooden figure standing to the side stared in astonishment at this scene, and after a long while, finally managed to stammer out:

"Holy shit! He's dead!"

The two rabbits' actions were more direct.

"Wow! Bro, where did you buy that mech? Do you still have any left? Can someone else pilot it?"

He rushed forward, touching Bai Xi's silver-white armor with his hand, feeling the unique coldness of steel. He clicked his tongue in amazement, rattling off a string of questions, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

Even Bai Xi felt a little uneasy watching it.

"Uh, it's not for sale, it's an exhibit, you know?"

In an instant, the two rabbits understood: "Was it a gift from the unique title?"

"Ah, I guess so..."

Bai Xi glanced at the sacrificial knife of Serpes in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to reveal the truth for now.

Isn't it fine as it is now...?

You can't exactly tell Shuangtu that this benefit was directly obtained from Serpes, or that it was a little gift that Serpes gave you, can you?

"Ahem, anyway, let's keep going in."

Beneath the armor, an electronic-sounding voice rang out, and Bai Xi unfurled wings of light, instantly flying inward.

At the same time, a relaxed and happy smile appeared on his face.

Previously, when he fought these ghouls, there was a slight possibility that he would get scratched, but he managed to withstand it thanks to the Icarus's high defense stats...

But alas, things are different now!

After the upgrade bonus increased the value of all his melee attacks to 90 points, his failure rate is now ridiculously low.

Moreover, as long as it hits, unless you really encounter that one-tenth of a percent chance, most ghouls will be killed in one hit!

This isn't Clash of Clans!

This is like mowing down enemies in Musou mode!

In an instant, a joyful smile appeared on Bai Xi's face, and driven by the light wings, he accelerated once again!

The multicolored blade flashed an arc of light through the dark haunted house, instantly slicing down two ghouls. In a flash, the silver-white machine was stained with blood, and Bai Xi turned again, beginning high-speed maneuvers throughout the haunted house!

Half a minute later, all fourteen ghouls in the room were cleared out.

"Let's go, next room."

Bai Xi spoke calmly, the mecha's green-glowing pupils looking at the two rabbits and the wooden man.

"...So, I remember the description of this instance said something like, 'This is an authentic escape room experience,' right?"

The wooden figure stared at Bai Xi for a long time before finally uttering this heartfelt question.

Bai Xi was slightly taken aback, then gave an awkward smile:

"Oh... don't worry about it. When did what the module said ever really happen?"

He said confidently, "That's exactly right. I wouldn't understand any of that nonsense you're spouting to a nobody like me!"

He spoke with conviction, but the wooden man, seeing Bai Xi's expression, was speechless and decided to simply skip the topic.

Forget it, it's not worth it.

Every time I talk to this troublesome person about these things, I feel a deep sense of mental exhaustion.

"Alright, if there are no problems, let's clear this place out now."

So Bai Xi turned around, swept his colorful blade, and strode into the next room.

And so, once again, it turned into a completely one-sided massacre.

It only takes a minute to clear out an entire room of ghouls...

The only cost is losing five or six points of health when you're unlucky, and if you're a little lucky, you can get out without taking any damage.

Even Bai Xi himself was starting to lose count of how many ghouls he had killed in this instance.

All he knew was that his ridiculously long experience bar had started to fluctuate and was growing again.

This time, Bai Xi's experience bar had reached about halfway through level seven.

If another hundred or so ghouls were to appear, Bai Xi might just reach level eight...

Of course, Bai Xi didn't take this experience too seriously.

If we can restart the "Final Agreement Vetoer," everything will be alright!

Bai Xi still vividly remembers the feeling of her experience growing exponentially back then.

After walking for about ten more minutes, Bai Xi's eyes were starting to ache from all the chopping, but he finally saw the end of the endless ghouls and went up to the second floor.

On the second floor was an extremely spacious room, resembling a large hall. Bai Xi blinked, as if she could see some phantom images appearing on the floor before her...

"What's the price, Chlorine?"

In the center of the arena, a phantom figure posed a question to another. The phantom figure being questioned simply lowered its head and calmly replied:

"The price is... an abandoned world."

Then, in the next instant, Bai Xi came back to his senses, and all the illusions before his eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only three fragments of pages shimmering with golden light.

"Did you see anything just now?"

The usage time of the Icarus was over, and Bai Xi shook his hair before asking the two rabbits and the wooden figure beside him.

"I saw something...? What is it?"

The wooden figure asked, completely bewildered. Bai Xi shook her head and said:

"Never mind then. I guess it's some kind of personal task for me."

Was that phantom just now meant for me, the last chief of the Myth Processing Bureau?

Bai Xi scratched his head, and at this moment, he finally began to seriously consider the words of the riddle-maker in front of him.

What is the price...? The price is an abandoned world?

Is this the place?

In other words, is this world a place that the Mythology Disposal Bureau discarded for some purpose?

After briefly connecting the current clues and reasoning to the above conclusion, Bai Xi chose to pause.

The current clues are still insufficient. That's about enough for now.

He stepped forward and took one of the three golden fragments.

Then, in the next moment, the scene flashed before his eyes, and Bai Xi reappeared at the entrance of the ghoul haunted house. He blinked and saw the subtitles in front of him.

[The Ghoul Haunted House has been cleared]

Current progress: 1

Keep up the good work!

Shaking his head, Bai Xi saw the two rabbits and the wooden figure that had also come out beside him.

But before he could even rejoice, he heard the wooden figure's terrified scream:

"Holy crap! Someone's coming!"
