How could this be?!

Black Swan panicked instantly. All she wanted to do was sever the mental connection with Huang Quan, withdraw her hand, and leave immediately.

But it's no use.

The ethereal power floating around Huang Quan's body gripped the point of contact between her hands, giving her no chance whatsoever.

You can't run away.

I want to break it off, but I can't.

An indescribable feeling of emptiness and coolness suddenly enveloped her entire body.

She froze instantly, her body stiff as a log. Her dance steps, which had been moving to the rhythm, completely went awry. Her feet were rooted to the ground, and she didn't dare to move a single finger.

The gentle smile that had been on her face just moments before vanished instantly.

There was no trace of composure left in his eyes; all that remained was genuine fear and a sense of utter helplessness.

Only at this moment did the black swan truly understand.

All those thoughts she had before, that she had only made a mistake or was not well prepared, were just self-comfort.

That's not the case at all.

Whether it was the person she had secretly tested before, or Huang Quan, who looked ordinary and didn't exude any aura, neither of them were people she could easily provoke.

Her most prized ability, the ability to secretly peer into other people's memories and see through their past, is utterly useless trash in front of these two.

For several seconds, the two of them remained frozen in place.

Huang Quan's face remained unchanged from beginning to end, his eyes were calm and indifferent, as if he had not noticed that she had been secretly making small moves.

But the ethereal power surrounding her never stopped.

Slowly and gradually, it erodes the spirit of the black swan.

This kind of torture is painless, leaves no wounds, and doesn't bleed.

It makes you feel uneasy and your mind goes blank, which is even worse than being beaten up and injured.

The black swan event simply couldn't withstand the onslaught.

She gritted her teeth, used all her strength, and suddenly pulled her hand out of the restraint. Because of the force, she took half a step back.

She doesn't dare stay in this place for even a second longer.

Immediately suppress all outward aura, forcefully suppress the chill and emptiness churning in your mind, and forcibly steady your swaying body.

Her face turned deathly pale once again.

Although this time I wasn't so shocked that I vomited blood like last time, it didn't look as terrible.

But she was in very poor spirits, feeling panicked and scared, and was no less relaxed than last time.

She originally planned to secretly probe and try to get some useful information.

The results of it.

Not to mention getting any of the other party's memories, they couldn't even figure out what the other party's strength was, and they were also mentally suppressed for nothing.

He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

The black swan felt both frustrated and regretful; all the arrogance and confidence she had just displayed had vanished.

The music from the ball was still playing in my ears, and the people around me were still drinking, chatting, dancing, and having a lively time. The entire banquet hall was still bustling with activity.

But having suffered losses twice from black swan events, they now have no interest in watching the spectacle anymore.

She doesn't even dare to think about gathering information or secretly observing anymore.

She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Huang Quan, who was standing motionless in place.

There was only one thought in my mind.

This person is terrifying.

She secretly vowed that no matter where she was in the future, if she saw Huang Quan or that person again, she would turn around and leave without saying a word.

These two people are simply not people she can touch.

Meanwhile, Huang Quan on the other side was completely bewildered throughout the entire process.

She had no idea that the Black Swan had been having so much internal monologue.

She had just felt a strange itch all over her body, like a tiny bug crawling on her.

Then, in the next second, the beautiful woman opposite him turned pale instantly, and her whole demeanor changed drastically.

Huang Quan stood there, staring at her for a few seconds, completely bewildered.

"A strange person."

She muttered something casually.

The black swan dared not linger for even half a second longer. After adjusting its posture, it turned around and quickly left the dance floor area, disappearing completely into the distance.

Huang Quan watched her figure disappear, still looking bewildered, unable to figure out what had just happened, and simply gave up trying to think about it.

……

Lu Feng wandered around the area for quite a while.

The scene here is indeed magnificent, with beautiful decorations everywhere, dazzling lights, and many people coming and going.

But he genuinely finds it meaningless now.

It was incredibly boring the whole time.

By the end of the walk, Lu Feng had lost all interest and just wanted to get back to his room as soon as possible.

But just as he was about to turn back, an embarrassing thing happened.

He... got lost.

Lu Feng stood in the long corridor, stunned.

"Holy crap? I've never gotten lost before."

He followed his memory from when he first arrived, walking back step by step.

But the layout of this hotel is really outrageous.

Every corridor looked exactly the same, and every floor looked identical. The surrounding buildings were layered upon each other, stretching as far as the eye could see, making it look particularly grand and confusing.

No matter which way he went, he couldn't find the way back to his room.

Lu Feng stared blankly at the densely packed floors and corridors before him, so indistinguishable from one another.

"Why build something so big? It's just making things difficult for people, isn't it?"

He stood there, completely unsure of where to go.

But in the shadows, where he couldn't see, several people were secretly observing him.

One of them spoke in a low voice, his tone full of doubt.

"Old Wang, what's he doing? He's been standing there for ages without moving."

The man called Old Wang stared at Lu Feng, who was lost in thought in the distance, shook his head, and looked on with an unfathomable confusion in his eyes.

"I don't understand, I can't comprehend his actions."

"So what do we do now? Keep watching?"

Old Wang thought for two seconds in silence, then made the arrangements in a low voice.

"You don't need to keep watching anymore. Go and call a hotel waiter over."

The person in the shadows quietly retreated to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, Lu Feng was still stuck in the same place, having a headache.

He had already asked the system.

The map the system provided this time was extremely perfunctory. The entire map only showed the user as a single point of light, surrounded by darkness, with no routes or markers whatsoever—it was as if the map hadn't been provided at all.

It's like asking a pointless question.

Just as he was wondering whether he should randomly choose a path and try his luck, a soft, youthful voice came from beside him.

"Excuse me, sir, do you need any help?"

Lu Feng turned his head to look over.

What came into view was a very small boy, whose height barely reached his waist, looking up at him with his face upturned.
