I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Lin Yan still carried the pearl given to her by the mermaid.

Beneath this pedestrian street lies a complex network of municipal pipes. As long as he crushes the pearl, the mermaid can instantly descend, and even a demon-level killing formation can forcefully create a path for him to survive.

Lin Yan walked up to the iron platform, and the two officers looked him up and down.

"You know the rules of the challenge, right? Hang it up, hold it for 100 seconds, and you get a million."

"If you can't hold on, just jump down; there's no punishment."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get on it."

The officer on the left was getting impatient. Looking at Lin Yan's delicate skin, he didn't think he could last more than a few seconds.

"I know, it's just hanging there."

Lin Yan smiled and immediately stretched out both hands to grip the horizontal bar.

"Start the timer." The officer pressed the stopwatch.

Lin Yan's feet were off the ground, and his body was hanging in mid-air.

For the first thirty seconds, everything was normal. Apart from his arm feeling a little sore, Lin Yan did not feel anything unusual.

The onlookers below were still laughing and recording videos.

Fifty seconds.

Sixty seconds.

Lin Yan gradually began to feel the strain. He had never done strength training before, and even just hanging on the horizontal bar for a long time was a considerable burden for him.

But he still gritted his teeth and stared intently at the stopwatch directly in front of him.

Eighty seconds.

Just as the countdown broke the 80-second mark.

Lin Yan keenly noticed that there were subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly had changed, but after experiencing so many bizarre events, he had developed a kind of intuition.

Immediately afterwards, a kind of viscous malice seeped into Lin Yan's palm through the steel pipe.

coming!

Lin Yan's vision suddenly went black, and when his vision returned, he found that he was no longer on the pedestrian street.

Blood rushed into the sky, and the surroundings were enveloped by an endless expanse of corpses.

The next moment he felt a chill on his ankle, and when he looked down, he saw several fleshless, skeletal hands tightly clamping him.

But beneath his feet lay a deep abyss of bones, with countless withered skeletons extending their claws, layer upon layer reaching upwards to drag him in.

Fear and pain crashed against Lin Yan's mental defenses like waves.

"Let go...you're tired~just let go and you'll feel relieved..."

A voice suddenly came from all around, and Lin Yan felt an urge to end it all.

"Let go, this place is terrifying, I'm really tired."

Lin Yan seemed to really hear his own voice.

However, everything was interrupted by a ding.

[Ding! Passive skill "Bizarre Gaze" has been activated.]

The moment the notification sound rang, Lin Yan immediately became a little more alert.

The illusions around me no longer seemed so overwhelming.

Lin Yan remembered that he obtained this passive skill after his first date with Saya, but it only works on monsters of the Wanderer level and below.

It seems this time the bizarre thing is at least demonic.

After a while, Lin Yan gradually became familiar with the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but sneer.

That's it?

Is this what you call fear? Is this what you call despair?

You cultists probably haven't seen real terror before.

"Every day I'm acting alongside several high-level freaks who could eat me alive at any moment, and there's always the risk of something going wrong!"

"Now there's another Slit-Mouthed Woman whose affection level suddenly jumps to 100 for no apparent reason."

"You bunch of broken bones, you dare call yourselves fear?!"

Faced with Lin Yan's strong nerves, honed by years of training with fellow group members, the illusions created by this cult device were as laughable as a cheap haunted house in a park!

In reality, the stopwatch has already jumped to 95.

The eyes of the two officers in black changed.

They watched as the young man on the horizontal bar, though covered in sweat, had increasingly clear eyes.

"They've held on for 90 seconds... and their mental defenses haven't collapsed at all!" the officer on the left whispered to his colleague.

"Top-tier! This is a rare find, one in tens of thousands! If he falls, the bones extracted will definitely satisfy His Holiness the Bishop!"

"He won't last 100 seconds. He's definitely reached his limit now. Get ready to collect!" The officer on the right quietly reached into his pocket and pinched a rune.

【00:98】

【00:99】

Lin Yan's hands were completely numb, but he had broken free of the illusion and was staring at the two officers below who were preparing to receive the goods.

He knew that if he let go now and fell, the device would lock onto him instantly.

【00:00】!

"Time's up! Challenge successful!" The machine's notification sounded over the square.

A deafening cheer erupted from the crowd.

The two officers in black instantly turned pale.

The challenge was a success? This seemingly ordinary young man actually withstood the bishop's device and lasted for 100 seconds?!

According to their stated rules, the reward for a successful challenge is one million.

But they hadn't prepared any bonuses at all, and they would never let go of such a top-quality offering!

Lin Yan released his grip and landed steadily on the ground.

He stretched his aching arms, looked at the two men with ashen faces, and his smile grew wider.

"Gentlemen, 100 seconds are up. One million, will you be paying by QR code or cash?"

The officer on the left suddenly took a step forward, pulled his hand out of his pocket, and held a rune between his fingers.

"Bonus? You'll get your life for it!"

Since the formation failed to remove his bones, then we'll have to take drastic measures!

This is a rare gem; it's worth it even if it means killing someone in the street and exposing this little hideout!

However, just as the officer was about to slap the rune at Lin Yan...

Lin Yan not only didn't back down, but looked at him with great pity.

"Take action? Are you sure?"

Lin Yan appeared passive at the moment, but his words were full of mockery, as if he were the one in control of the whole situation.

He didn't even use the frog brooch or the pearl.

Because he knew there were people more anxious than him.

Just as the clerk's hand was about to touch Lin Yan's clothes...

With a "bang".

A bullet with anti-magic properties instantly traveled hundreds of meters.

The next second, before the officer holding the rune could even scream, his entire right arm, along with half of his shoulder, was blasted into a cloud of blood mist right in front of everyone!

"ah!!!"

This guy is no ordinary person; he can still let out a wail in this situation.

The surrounding onlookers panicked instantly after realizing what had happened, screams erupted and people scattered and fled.

Lin Yan stood still, blocking the remaining person's escape route, and smiled slightly:

"Sorry, I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, so I usually carry a sniper rifle with me when I go out."

Then, Lin Yan raised his hand and made a tactical gesture, then muttered to himself:

"Seal off the square."

In less than half a minute, several special police vehicles disguised as civilian vans were scattered around the edge of the square.

More than a dozen fully armed agents descended like divine soldiers, quickly setting up a cordon and carrying the officer with the severed arm onto an ambulance.

Another black-clad agent, who had been terrified, was about to draw his gun to fight back when he was immediately tackled by two tactical agents, who pinned his hands behind his back to the metal frame.

"Brother Lin! This kid had poison in his mouth, and I've already dislocated his jaw!" an officer reported loudly to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan slowly walked to the iron frame, took out his phone from his pocket, found an angle to take a picture of the black-clad officer who was being held down.

He joined the "High-Quality Non-Human Dating Group" and posted his photos.
