"Never believe a clown."
At that moment, a huge grin suddenly broke out across the clown's comically exaggerated painted face. "Perfect timing! Congratulations to the two lucky players for successfully completing the game!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bells of the clock tower not far away rang out, announcing the hour.
"Bang!"
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian subconsciously looked up and saw that the hour hand on the clock tower was pointing to six.
It's dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the Death Playground that was originally shrouded in darkness, they finally saw the entire picture of the playground. At the same time, everything in the playground decayed and disappeared in an instant, turning into dust.
The clown's body also disappeared in an instant, and only a colorful funny mask remained: "...Welcome to visit us next time."
At the same time, a familiar system sound rang in the ears of Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian at the same time.
"Congratulations, dear player, for completing the D-rank mission [Death Playground]. The mission objective [Escape from the Death Playground] has been achieved. The time limit is 1 day, and the player receives 500 points..."
"Mission completed, about to leave the dungeon..."
When Xiao Tangqiu woke up from the teleportation cabin, he was so excited that he forgot to press the exit button first. As a result, he bumped his head against the door of the teleportation cabin and almost knocked his brains out. He rubbed his dull and painful head and quickly pressed the button.
When he climbed out of the transport cabin, he happened to meet Tang Mianmian's eyes, who had also climbed out at the same time. The two of them immediately hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was so close! It was so close that both of them would not be able to come back!
Tang Mianmian, a guy with well-developed tear glands, burst into tears instantly: "Wow, wow, wow, I was so scared! I thought we were both dead this time! I thought we were both going to be blown to death!"
Xiao Tangqiu was also frightened and worried. When the clown said that there were two bombs among the three Easter eggs, he thought that one of him and Tang Mianmian would die today. When the otaku snatched the Easter egg from his arms, he also thought that he would die for sure. Otherwise, why would the otaku snatch his Easter egg?
But he never expected that the Easter egg that the otaku snatched away contained a bomb, and the Easter egg that the otaku forced into his arms contained the key. If the otaku had not been deceived by the clown's guidance, he would probably be the one who was blown to pieces now.
If that otaku knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would die!
By the way, that otaku was really blessed with good luck. Not only did he get the Easter egg on his first try, but the key happened to be inside the Easter egg. Moreover, he had dodged it perfectly three times in a row... Such luck is really enviable!
However, Xiao Tangqiu thought again and realized that no matter how lucky the otaku was, he was now blown to pieces, so he calmed down.
Although luck is also a kind of strength, luck alone is obviously not enough. It is absolutely unacceptable to be complacent just because you are lucky. Otherwise, the fate of that otaku will serve as a lesson for them.
The two hugged each other and cried for a while, then went back to Area D arm in arm.
As soon as he entered the house, Tang Mianmian immediately rushed to the sofa in the living room. He couldn't even wait to enter the bedroom and buried his head in sleep. "I'm so tired, I want to sleep for ten days and ten nights..."
Xiao Tangqiu reminded Tang Mianmian: "After completing a D-level mission, we only have seven days of rest."
Tang Mianmian closed her eyes and hummed, "Then let's do three days and three nights... huhu..."
Seeing Tang Mianmian fall asleep while talking, Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, but his situation was not much better. His nerves had been highly tense all day, and now that he could finally relax, he was almost unable to hold on.
A wave of sleepiness came over him and he couldn't help yawning, but he still planned to take a hot bath before going to bed, so he turned and went into the bathroom, ready to take a nice hot bath.
Xiao Tangqiu was halfway through taking a shower when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the bathroom door.
At first, he thought it was Tang Mianmian, so he shouted outside: "I'm still taking a shower, wait a few minutes."
However, the knocking did not stop, and even became more urgent.
"What are you doing? I haven't even rinsed my shampoo yet! Wait a moment!"
Xiao Tangqiu was a little angry, but just as he finished speaking, the bathroom door suddenly broke into pieces with a loud bang!
He was stunned for a moment and the shower head in his hand fell to the ground.
Duan Hongzhen stood at the bathroom door and said impatiently, "Follow me."
Xiao Tangqiu fell silent. He looked at the bathroom door with a big hole in it, then looked down at the foam on his body that had not yet been rinsed off. He said with humiliation, "I haven't finished my shower yet..."
Duan Hongzhen's tone became even more impatient: "Stop talking nonsense and follow me."
Looking at the knife in his hand, Xiao Tangqiu asked weakly, "Then at least... at least let me put on my clothes?"
Duan Hongzhen tutted his words and looked Xiao Tangqiu over with a critical look. "There's nothing to see. I'll give you three seconds to get dressed."
Xiao Tangqiu: "..."
What's with that look of disdain?
What's wrong with him being a homebody? What's wrong with him not having abs?
However, after looking at the knife in Duan Hongzhen's hand, he could only swallow his pride and quickly put on his clothes. Then he was grabbed by Duan Hongzhen and dragged out of the bathroom.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned: "Wait, where are we going?"
Duan Hongzhen said coldly: "Don't ask anything!"
When he came to the living room, Xiao Tangqiu found that the door of the living room had been blown open by Duan Hongzhen, and Tang Mianmian was still lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly!
"Wait a minute, our door..."
Duan Hongzhen ignored Xiao Tangqiu's weak protests and struggles and took him all the way to the teleportation array in Area D.
Before Xiao Tangqiu could figure out what was going on, Duan Hongzhen took him to Area S, the headquarters of the Samsara Squad.
What happened? What happened?
Xiao Tangqiu was confused, but Duan Hongzhen's gloomy expression and terrifying aura made him want to ask but dare not ask, so he could only guess silently.
