After giving a verbal “okay,” Lu Ce took a deep breath and stepped into the room once more.
Earlier, he had suddenly felt a bit bored. The scenes before him hadn’t brought even a trace of crisis. Every ti he entered a corresponding Horror Mystery, it was just an outlet for his Rage.
But just now, after Xie Antong finished telling him her conditions, he suddenly had a gut feeling—like sothing interesting might happen.
That Park Bu Seong, he couldn’t possibly just keep handing out wins like this level by level. Surely sothing a bit more exciting would co later.
Hope you can give pleasure and thrill.
Otherwise, my Wrath will have no choice but to rain down on you...
Walking into the room, seeing the spacious Art Classroom, and the two-hundred-square-ter space filled with famous paintings, Lu Ce knew he had arrived at the corresponding location.
He relaxed his tense mind, letting the raging beast inside his heart slowly co out of its cage, ready to begin a new round of invasion.
The pale green Mask began to shimr with a different light, slowly revealing a face that looked sowhere between angry and compassionate, with a strange smile.
He clenched his fists tightly, the knuckles cracking loudly in the empty room.
“This is the Art Classroom, right?”
“Anyone feel like crying? We’re on a tight schedule.”
......
Outside the classroom, the dark gold tallic sphere of the All-Seeing Eye hovered for a couple of circles. Once it confird Lu Ce had entered, the light within the classroom began to twist, becoming nearly impossible to penetrate.
She knew that “Sin’s” Ga had already begun.
So she guided her All-Seeing Eye back to her and took out sothing resembling an insulin injector, stabbing it into her temple.
The scene looked pretty terrifying—such a big syringe made all the Spectators watching the Ga feel their teeth ache.
But she didn’t seem to feel any pain. In fact, once the drug was injected, her expression looked almost... satisfied.
Her eyes opened wide, pupils turning into a beautiful deep blue—like sapphires buried deep under the sea. There was also a strange confidence shining in her gaze.
She was also a d-Popped War God!
The difference was, Lu Ce’s dication was for healing his body—so he could fight wildly without worries.
But hers worked on the brain—pure brainwave amplifiers.
The All-Seeing Eye would drain her ntally, and the stronger her brain, the more developed it was, the more she could pull off.
At that mont, thanks to forced ntal developnt and the drugs, her brain’s capacity had reached 25%. As she lifted her head, the entire classroom—no, the entire world—seed different.
Everything around her wasn’t just objects. They reflected not just light, but information—their “past and present.”
In other words, she herself was no longer the sa as she was a few minutes ago.
Having spent enough ti in this classroom, this second Horror Mystery that had been hidden here all along and hadn’t been triggered yet—it was starting to feel too simple.
It was just reenacting a Clearance sequence she had already ntally simulated ten thousand tis.
Standing up, she walked over to a set of Sketch Sculptures that had already been arranged, and picked out a David bust.
It was the standard handso European male—chiseled features, lifelike carving. Even though it was a statue, it still carried so spark of “human” expression.
Xie Antong smiled. Compared to her usual calmness, she now looked slightly unhinged. She reached out and touched the David head gently, her tone soft, as if coaxing a child.
“He’s already started over there. I’ve got a feeling... he’ll be fast.”
“So... shall we begin too?”
“Why aren’t you smiling? Co on, give a smile.”
“I rember when you were behind earlier... you smiled four tis~.”
Xie Antong caressed the statue’s head, smiling at it, as the room fell into a strange, eerie silence.
The next second, all the Sketch Sculptures in the room began to violently tremble—as if an earthquake had hit.
The David statue, held down by Xie Antong’s hand, began to distort, its expression growing twisted and angry.
“Aww, you mad?”
“Told you to smile and you still won’t... I should introduce you to that guy, then maybe you’d behave....”
With that, Xie Antong grabbed the David statue and smashed it to the floor.
Both of them were now operating simultaneously, starting a new round of Ga Clearance—one forcing a Portrait to cry, the other forcing a Statue to laugh.
......
anwhile, Park Bu Seong’s lips curled slightly upward as he looked at the scene in front of him in mild surprise.
Even though he was completely in the dark about the state of the two Black Side players after his teammates exited, he still understood the triggers of the Horror Mystery Ga well.
Right now, both “The Portrait’s Tears” and “The Walking Statue” mysteries had entered a triggered state.
He didn’t really care about “The Portrait’s Tears.” That was the only Ga Scene without any of his teammates stationed—just pure gaplay content.
Initially, when matching teams, the White Side had five players in total including himself. Of course, three had already exited now.
There weren’t enough people to cover all the levels, and he hadn’t pinned high hopes on this one. Considering “Sin” had steamrolled every Ga Level so far, this one probably wouldn’t be too hard either.
The key problem was—The Walking Statue!
That was a scenario he’d designed from the beginning—set in the sa scene as the first Horror Mystery to avoid suspicion, and to forcibly split up the two players.
In his design, the weaker one—Blank—would likely stay behind and end up triggering the Ga Scene.
And now that this scene was active—it proved his judgnt had been right.
Park Bu Seong was very pleased. This was the first good news he’d received since the Ga began.
He’d originally planned to wait until “Sin” was more or less worn down, and then hit him with the strongest Horror Mystery to take him out directly.
And the mystery on Blank’s side was more like a trump card—a Plan B. If it turned out that “Sin” was completely untouchable, then use the Horror Mystery to stall him.
While he was trapped, unable to escape or assist, Park would go in personally and deal with the woman himself. Sa outco, right?
He didn’t expect it to trigger this early. Seems like the woman’s luck wasn’t too great after all...
Good thing he had the foresight to prepare for all possibilities—setting up the Ga Restriction that counted either Black Side player’s death or exit as a Challenge Mode failure.
She probably still hasn’t realized she’s already inside the trap...
