At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"Box number 2?"

Su Che frowned and turned his gaze back to the direction he had just been looking at.

Driven by curiosity, he and UU walked back to the doorway and looked towards the arrangement of props inside—

Sure enough, next to box number one was box number two, which was twice the size of box number one. The former was about 3 cubic meters, while the latter was 6 cubic meters, big enough for two people to stand on.

The magician's voice rang out again: "Alternative plan two can solve Mr. Su's dilemma of not being able to bear it to the greatest extent. This box is enough to support you and Miss UU to go in together, share hardships, and enjoy the mutual appreciation when danger comes."

However, the magician himself will be in charge of inserting the swords. I will give you both a heads-up beforehand, giving you approximately thirty seconds to decide which direction to dodge. The box is spacious enough that, ideally, even if three swords are inserted, you should be able to walk out unharmed.

"..."

The bizarre and twisted project made Su Che feel that he shouldn't stay here any longer. He thought he should leave quickly and find another place for their date.

Even spending one more day with UU would be better than such a scary project.

But looking at UU's expectant eyes, it seemed... she really wanted to experience the feeling of "danger" with him...

Without a doubt, if he really forced her to leave, then no matter where they continued their date, today would be destined to be a failure in her memory...

She likes things that are exciting, special, adrenaline-pumping, and extreme.

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Su Che sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

After careful consideration, I chose to stay.

"UU, if something really happens, I'll tell you everything."

Su Che spoke to her coldly with a stern face.

The witch cat's eyes lit up with joy: "I knew you were the best to me! My little fan, at home you always treat me like a comedian, and you rarely show how much you love me in front of others! Today, finally! You're not pretending anymore, you really, really spoil me! You're even willing to become a pair of star-crossed lovers with me! I understand! I completely understand your love for me!"

In terms of Ah Q mentality, UU is no less capable than anyone else.

"Alright, hurry up, I don't want to stay here any longer. Let's make this clear beforehand, whatever the third project is, I'm not doing it. Well, assuming I'm still alive."

Su Che added, "Being able to play this kind of thing with you is truly the worst luck I've ever had."

"Yay!"

UU tiptoed and happily kissed someone's cheek.

Soon, the two arrived at the box.

Su Che examined the strangely shaped box repeatedly, but he still felt uneasy.

As a magic prop, this box is made up of six small cubes, with a hollowed-out cross-section in the middle, just large enough for two people to stand in.

Moreover, there are several slender diamond-shaped openings in the front, back, left, right, top, middle, and bottom directions, specifically for "inserting knives".

Su Che felt that mentally sound players wouldn't choose to take such risks to experience this thing, but unfortunately, UU wasn't normal.

"Come on, little fan, men on the left, women on the right, I'll stand here, you come and stick close to me! I'm telling you, I've already figured out my tactics for later!"

"...What tactics?"

Su Che followed her into the box.

UU mysteriously placed her small hand near his ear and whispered:

“If you look closely at these insertion holes, you'll notice that the sword blades are all flat and very long and thin. So, considering our height and build, if we insert the sword from the edge, we'll all be squeezed together in the same direction.”

If it's coming from below, we adjust our posture and spread our legs to avoid it; and if it's coming from above, we bend down and squat, which also gets us past those obstacles! Aren't I clever?

"........."

After listening, Su Che seemed to understand, but also seemed to only understand half of it.

"You can guide me when the time comes." He gave up thinking and decided to temporarily hand over the reins to UU.

Anyway, it's just to keep her company. If she's very professional at these kinds of magic tricks, then listening to her is not a bad idea.

Upon hearing this, UU puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips, assuring them, "Leave it to me! I'll definitely get you safely ashore!"

Seeing his confident demeanor, Su Che smiled and felt less nervous than before. "You'd better be."

-

Three minutes later.

The magician suddenly appeared from the dark corner.

Su Che didn't even get a clear look at his face before the man closed the box door from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a click sounded as the door was locked.

Visibility suddenly dimmed.

"Rest assured, both of you, all our equipment is ready. As this is a VIP service, if anyone is injured, they can shout 'It hurts! It hurts so much!' or 'I can't take it anymore!' At that moment, our medical staff will arrive immediately and release you both."

"..."

Su Che couldn't understand how the magician could say such outrageous things so seriously, but in any case, upon hearing the sound of a long sword being drawn outside, his golden ears instantly realized, "That can't be a fake prop."

[! It's the sound of metal.]

Clang!

Very quickly, the game began.

"The first test will be to insert the sword vertically into the middle box at two-thirds of its length. Please be mentally prepared."

The magician's cold voice rang out, and less than 10 seconds later, he began to act.

Su Che cursed inwardly, "Wasn't it supposed to be 30 seconds?!"

But there was no time to think about it.

He instinctively leaned forward, pressing UU against the other end of the box in a "C" shape, so the two were almost completely pressed together, with no room to move.

*Crack!*

The sword blade was sharp, going straight in and out, lying across the inside of the box!

The chill down his spine made Su Che break out in a cold sweat.

He glanced at the gleaming sword out of the corner of his eye. He knew that if he didn't move for a few seconds, he would be impaled and have no way out.

"UU, do you usually play this exciting games by yourself?"

"Hehe, how could that be? I wouldn't come here by myself! I only come with my dear little fans!"

The witch cat's blissful expression held a unique charm in the darkness.

Before she could even finish speaking, Su Che had already prepared his second sword strike.

"Attack the feet from three feet below the left box."

"Damn, that's so shady."

Su Che knew that the left box was where UU was standing, and if the sword came from below, then the person would have to be suspended in the air to avoid being hurt.

But how can it be suspended in such a limited space?

Is this really possible?

Unfortunately, 10 seconds was simply not enough time for Su Che to figure it out.

As the sword entered her mouth, UU narrowed her eyes, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, and immediately hugged Su Che, shifting her weight onto his waist—!

It rode directly on his waist and abdomen, just like a koala bear.

"! You can do that?!"

Su Che was truly amazed. He sensed that UU had completely entrusted her weight to him, so he dared not be negligent and immediately concentrated all his strength to support her weight.

"You've got some skills." The magician gave a perfunctory compliment, then sneered as if he was about to unleash a special technique!

"The ultimate test is here. Four longswords will now pierce the box above from the front, back, left, and right in a 'well' shape. Gentlemen, if you're not careful, you might end up as headless knights!"

He gave a strange smile, and then proceeded to draw four prop swords with a series of clanging sounds.

"I'm speechless. How am I supposed to dodge a headshot attack?!"

Su Che quickly surveyed his surroundings. Since the sword wouldn't be pulled out after being inserted, the area controlled by the sword was unusable.

Even the slightest accidental movement could result in the two being cut to death.

Therefore, while maintaining the current posture, we still need to consider how to make minor adjustments to resolve the danger above.

UU gave him this opportunity.

He picked up the game quite quickly; when the first sword pierced through, he knew he should lean forward and get closer to UU to avoid the attack on the back of her head.

When the second sword came in, UU also bent over, shifted her center of gravity downward, and moved even closer to him, as if their bodies were about to merge together;

The third sword was slightly higher, forcing Su Che to lower his head, forehead to forehead with the girl in front of him, nose to nose, their breaths naturally entering each other's mouths.

As for the final sword—

He lifted UU up from behind her neck, and she seized the opportunity to lean forward and was "forced" to meet Su Che's lips and teeth, and was completely fixed in place, unable to move an inch.

"!!"

In the darkness, Su Che opened his eyes wide, never expecting that the magic trick's ultimate move could forcibly lock him and UU in a confined space, allowing them to perform high-difficulty actions that would be impossible under normal circumstances.

Ten seconds passed, then thirty seconds passed. With the longsword pointed at their heads, no one dared to make a move.

Just as Su Che was feeling aches and pains and was about to give up, a cracking sound came from inside the box.

He glanced to the side and saw that the flash of the hidden camera inside the box was so bright it was almost blinding...

"Your wonderful performance has truly amazed me, so our establishment has specially prepared Polaroid photos for you two distinguished guests to preserve this precious memory. Congratulations on reaching the final step—"

"Huh? There's more??"

Su Che almost laughed out of anger, but he was helpless.

"Yes. Your final challenge is to get out of this box. To leave, you need the power of your hearts, which is the power of love! So, for the last challenge, we will remove all the swords from the box and turn off all the monitors, leaving only a 'hormone detector'."

When the "concentration of love" emanating from the two within the space reaches the standard, the detector will issue a warning, and the two will successfully pass the level and escape! However, if the two do not begin to form a "contract of love" within 30 minutes, then Mr. Su's love for Ms. UU will be considered false. At that time, I will exercise the right of elimination according to the game rules, simultaneously piercing the box with 36 long swords from 8 directions and releasing a high concentration of poison gas sufficient to corrode a corpse inside the box. Please cherish your lives.

"Alright, let the countdown begin!"
