Su Bai simply responded without explaining further, as he himself was unaware of what kind of "ghost wall" situation he had encountered.

"Brother Hyman, come in quickly."

The little girl urged softly.

Su Bai glanced at her warily, but remained unmoved.

He was about to do something, but it seemed that he was 'out of strength'. After letting go of one hand, he could no longer hold onto the rope, and his other hand suddenly slipped, causing him to fall straight down from the sixth floor!

"elder brother!!!"

The little girl let out an incredibly piercing scream from above.

Darkness then descended.

...

"Brother Hyman?"

"Brother Hyman!"

A little girl's weak voice reached my ears.

Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene before him immediately sent a chill down his spine.

That's right.

He was back to square one.

"Falling down will reset the progress of the illusion... Does that mean I can't even give up now?"

"Does failing to complete this illusion mean we'll be trapped here forever?"

Thinking about this...

Su Bai wasn't actually that nervous.

The illusion could trap his consciousness, but could it also prevent him from escaping the secret realm? But this is a last resort, and we certainly can't try it lightly now.

"Time did indeed rewind a few seconds."

I glanced at the system time.

Immediately afterwards.

Su Bai then opened the team channel.

The chat history between the group is still there.

It seems that this illusion only affected his perception, making him mistakenly believe that a long time had passed... rather than being powerful enough to directly interfere with the flow of time.

—If it's the latter, Su Bai really has to worry about how he can escape this terrible time loop.

"We still need to take extra precautions."

Su Bai thought to himself.

He wanted to take out the mechanical pocket watch that was unaffected by energy to keep track of time.

However, he had only been holding his hand for a moment when he fell from above, so Su Bai quickly dismissed the dangerous thought.

"Brother Hyman, come in quickly, don't let anyone find out!"

The little girl urged in a low voice.

"……good."

Realizing there was no way to escape, Su Bai accepted reality and rolled over to enter the house smoothly.

An opportunity has arisen.

He immediately took the mechanical pocket watch out of his backpack.

Click...

Click...

Su Bai turned the hands to align the pocket watch with the system time, then wound it up a few times before hanging it around his neck.

At this time.

After cleaning up all the traces, the little girl asked the same question as before.

"Brother Hyman, are you all alone today? Where's Sister Via?"

"She has something to do."

Su Bai turned around and looked her over.

His extraordinary memory immediately made him notice something different; the little girl's lines had changed slightly from before... But she wasn't a machine with a pre-programmed script, so changes were to be expected.

in addition.

She seems to have become even weaker...

Su Bai paid attention to every detail, and before the little girl could speak, he took the initiative to say, "I brought you a gift."

As he spoke.

He took a shiny gem out of his backpack.

Wow, what beautiful stones!

The little girl was immediately drawn to the sparkling gem, her face lighting up with delight. But then she asked with concern, "This must be a very, very precious gem! I remember my mother had one on her necklace, but it was much smaller than this... Brother Hyman, where did you get it?!"

"It was a gift from a kind person."

Su Bai said casually.

What he gave away was just a fine-quality gem, which was worth a few gold coins, but it wasn't anything particularly precious to him.

Unlike before, she didn't give him amber eyes.

Su Bai wanted to see if giving the little girl a gift would affect the subsequent developments.

"But this gift is too precious."

The little girl hesitated and dared not accept it.

"Just think of it as an ordinary stone that shines."

Su Bai only said.

"Demi!?"

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"Is anyone in your room? I can hear other people's voices!"

She asked sternly.

Su Bai turned to look at the doorway. Just like last time, the woman's voice was right next to him, as if it had never left. The shadows peeking through the crack in the door confirmed his guess.

"Mom, I... I was just talking to Britney..."

The little girl hurriedly tried to cover it up.

She quickly picked up a delicate rag doll from beside the bed, which must be the Britney she had mentioned, then hurriedly stuffed the jewels under her pillow and whispered to Su Bai, urging him to hurry.

"Quick, hide under the bed and don't make a sound!"

"...It's not safe under the bed."

Su Bai slowly shook his head.

His recent experience made him absolutely certain that even if the things under the bed were hallucinations, they could still pose a deadly threat to him.

Hiding under the bed is a trap!

But where else can he hide?

Wardrobe!

He looked around.

There was also a wardrobe in the little girl's room, big enough to accommodate him. Without hesitation, Su Bai went to the wardrobe, opened the door, and crawled inside.

Thump!

The next moment.

The door to the room was violently pushed open.

A woman in a long black dress stormed into the house, her voice trembling with anger: "Britney? You're lying! Are you still in contact with those bad kids outside? I warned you, they only bring misfortune to our family!"
