'Congratulations, your judgnt is correct.'
'Temptation dragged him from the hopeful heaven into the dark hell.'
Xu Xi just glanced at it casually, not even pausing his steps.
Floor 5.
The man who had been kneeling at the supermarket entrance, along with that contract and that bundle of paper money, had completely vanished. The bloodstains on the ground also seed as if they had never existed.
Huh?
Xu Xi walked to the spot where the man had been kneeling earlier and looked up. He saw that the sign above the supermarket had changed from the original 'Huarong Supermarket' to 'Juxing Supermarket'.
Did the supermarket change owners?
He recalled the initial hint, "So interesting things happened here," and vaguely guessed that the successive abnormal phenona seed to be gradually revealing so unknown past events of this street?
Just as he was lost in thought, the sign above suddenly loosened.
[Ahhhhhh get out of the way!!]
[It's gonna hit it's gonna hit it's gonna... uh]
Before the live stream comnts could continue their fuss, the young man on the screen calmly took a step back the mont the sign was about to fall.
The heavy and huge sign just grazed past his body as it fell, kicking up a cloud of dust the instant it hit the ground.
Seeing the young man completely unhard, the live stream comnts' suddenly tense hearts quietly relaxed.
[Does Xu Xi the master have to be so extre? Grabbing the paper money earlier was also like that, a feint move, scared to death]
[Maybe this is just the master's mischievous sense of humor?]
At this mont, Xu Xi lowered his head to stare at the sign by his feet, feeling sowhat helpless.
The killing moves of this instance felt strangely familiar to him, making him recall the first instance—similarly absurd, similarly attacking when least expected, similarly dying if you weren't careful.
Bad news: Ran into another unreasonable instance.
Good news: He counters it.
If it were the reasoning-type instances like the last one and the one before that, he would need to expend more brainpower gathering clues.
However, this instance was different. Only needing to constantly judge the left and right intersections precisely amplified the advantage of his reload ability.
Although dangers might co without warning midway, he could avoid them as long as he died once. To him, it wasn't a big deal at all, and it even saved a lot of ti.
Xu Xi suddenly realized that this so-called high-difficulty instance... actually seed simpler for him?
Of course, the premise was that the rules wouldn't change.
This ti's slogan he did understand.
'Congratulations, your judgnt is correct.'
'The situation he couldn't change was like a massive mountain, crushing him until he couldn't breathe.'
The "he" in this sentence clearly referred to the man who mortgaged the supermarket and then knelt kowtowing at its entrance.
Floor 6.
Everything normal, no abnormalities.
Floor 7.
"Wuwuwu——"
As soon as Xu Xi entered the street, he heard faint, broken sobs.
The sobbing wantonly echoed on the silent late-night street, sharp and high-pitched, as if carrying endless despair and pain, piercing straight into his eardrums.
To be honest, it was a bit creepy.
What was even creepier was a woman in a dress standing all alone by the roadside, tightly covering her face with both hands, weeping softly and mournfully.
The originally sowhat normal street instantly turned eerie and terrifying.
Xu Xi hesitated for a mont, didn't choose to approach and test her, but directly walked around her.
Nothing to test, it's an anomaly!
Xu Xi kept an eye on her as he walked, afraid she might suddenly look up at him.
Fortunately, by the ti he turned into the alley, she had only maintained her weeping posture, not moving an inch.
'Congratulations, your judgnt is correct.'
'Her world was torn into countless fragnts, each piece stabbing her soul.'
Xu Xi stopped walking.
He suddenly had a guess.
Could this man and woman be that pair of embracing figures by the window on the second floor of Sunny Day Departnt Store on Floor 1?
A couple or a married couple?
Felt more like a married couple.
The husband had to mortgage his family's supermarket because he owed so debt, so the wife fell into despair and broke down?
As for what kind of debt... Xu Xi imdiately thought of loans or gambling, possibly both.
Since it had reached the point of needing to mortgage the business, that proved the money the husband owed was a huge, gaping hole.
He originally hadn't figured out what the tal clinking sound on Floor 3 was, but when he thought in this direction, he suddenly felt that sound was very similar to chips made of so material.
Xu Xi didn't know if his guess was correct, but he always felt it wasn't that simple.
Would the cycle end so easily?
He didn't believe it.
Arriving at Floor 8.
As soon as Xu Xi exited the alley, a round paper coin with a square hole drifted towards his face.
He tilted his head slightly to avoid it, looked up, and saw paper money fluttering down from above, making the street appear much more desolate and bleak.
A faint, indistinct sound of opera singing broke this deathly silence.
The sound was initially faint and elusive, as if drifting from an extrely distant place. Gradually, it beca clearer and clearer.
The singing was lodious and graceful, the opera voice seeming to carry sorrow and resentnt within it. The unfamiliar tune sent chills down Xu Xi's spine.
As the opera singing rose and fell, the surrounding temperature also dropped. A wave of coldness washed over him, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
Strangely, no matter how attentively Xu Xi listened, he couldn't make out what was being sung.
Damn, don't do this.
He'd rather have another pitch-black humanoid figure appear behind him than face this kind of invisible, intangible existence.
Xu Xi hesitated for a mont, then resignedly walked forward.
It's fine, at worst, he just dies in a not-so-dignified way.
Thinking this, he relaxed a bit again.
Walking in the middle of the street, surrounded by paper money drifting down everywhere, his ears filled with the eerie opera singing that pierced his eardrums.
Just as he passed the supermarket that had changed its na, a female corpse suddenly dropped down from the sign.
Her face showed a terrifying bluish-gray hue, eyes wide open, bloodshot eyeballs bulging, almost falling out of their sockets. Lips were dark purple and cracked, slightly parted. A rope was tightly wound around her neck, deeply embedded into her flesh, leaving purplish-black bruise marks.
The female corpse hung stiffly in the air, that familiar dress swaying slightly with each swing of the body.
She just stared fixedly at the young man before her, simultaneously seeming to pierce through space and the screen. That gaze, as if containing boundless resentnt and unwillingness, left countless netizens outside with blank minds.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[Stop 'ah'-ing, it's disturbing my eyes (shivering and pulling the blanket tight)]
[F*ck why is there no blurring function, I'm kneeling and begging with my blood for one to be added]
[Where are my live stream comnt troops! Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!!!]
[Back off! Back off! Back off!]
[Sis, do you know how much damage you've done to my young, fragile heart? I'll forgive you if you just pull back up again]
[Don't worry, these few floors are just purely trying to scare you]
[So? Person earlier, you an there are heavier hitters later?]
[Of course]
[To be honest, the mont she looked at , I almost thought I was going to see my great-grandma]
[Master Xu Xi is so calm, his expression hasn't even changed]
[Although the scene is a bit terrifying, but sohow, seeing Master Xu Xi gives a strange sense of security]
