so.

Su Bai was more inclined to believe another reasonable guess.

The ability to 'play hide-and-seek' becomes even more terrifying in this illusion!

Being found by her will not only trigger instant death.

Moreover, the area around her, or any hiding place in this building, has become a deadly trap that will devour anyone who dares to provoke her!

The good news is...

Based on his personal experience.

At least, the trap's deadly mechanism won't be triggered immediately, and it can provide him with some protection, as long as he doesn't linger in one place for an extended period.

"So the other two monsters must have become stronger as well."

Su Bai secretly became alert.

Time is limited.

He quickly searched the entire room.

With his detection abilities, he is very efficient. He can see the attributes and rank of different items at a glance, quickly filter out useless junk, and find the items he needs.

Less than three minutes.

Su Bai then ended the search.

Turning his head, he held three items in his hands: a childish doodle, a broken bird-shaped puppet, and a rusty key.

The reason these three items are considered special is because of their descriptions.

Sunflower

[Time-telling bird]

The Key to Nightmare of Fear

...

Even in the illusion, the items that Su Bai sees through his detection spell will present complete information, just like the potions he examined earlier.

But these three items only show one name.

There is no question mark indicating unknown information.

There is nothing else.

It's so rudimentary, it's like a bug that unexpectedly appears during system operation.

Su Bai collected them all, not knowing what they were for. Just then, the sound of high heels echoed outside the door; the woman was coming back to change the little girl's dressing.

Whoosh!

Su Bai resorted to the same old trick.

The Devil Mask's effects were still cooling down, but don't forget, Su Bai always carried a second Blood Shadow Gem, which came in handy now.

Before the woman entered the room, the Blood Shadow Clone had just managed to hide under the bed.

Su Bai retreated behind the door.

They disappeared back into the shadows.

He didn't forget to observe the situation for a moment.

The second Blood Shadow clone quickly provided him with valuable intelligence.

"...The danger progress at the hideout doesn't seem to accumulate; it resets as soon as you leave once...but it could also be because it's already been successfully triggered once."

Su Bai crammed as much information as he could into his head.

With an exceptional memory.

He is not afraid of being forgotten.

And any tiny bit of information could save his life at a critical moment.

After glancing at the woman, Su Bai naturally opened the door and walked out in front of her.

The living room is right outside the door.

Families living in affluent neighborhoods are undoubtedly wealthy and powerful, and the little girl's family is no exception. Without the filter of the Lost City, Su Bai truly experienced the glory of that era.

The high ceiling is inlaid with exquisite patterns, and a huge chandelier hangs in the center, emitting a dim and soft light. The entire living room is filled with a faint fragrance, which comes from the flowers and aromatherapy placed on the carved coffee table. The walls are covered with wallpaper with exquisite patterns and bright colors, and not far away, there are oil paintings framed in expensive frames.

The only strange thing is...

The portraits or scenes depicted in those oil paintings seem to be seen through layers of gauze, making them blurry and indistinct.

Clack...

Clack...

As soon as Su Bai stepped out of the room, a strange, soft sound began to echo in his ears. He followed the sound and looked at an old-fashioned wall clock hanging in front of the living room.

The pointer is spinning.

The sounds, which were unsettling, echoed in Su Bai's ears.

The time displayed above is:

11:57 AM.

This time clearly doesn't match either his system clock or the time on his pocket watch.

It must have a special meaning.

Thinking it over, Su Bai took a step forward, intending to get closer and observe more carefully.

Sudden.

A deep darkness then enveloped everything from all directions.

...

Without any warning.

Su Bai returned to the moment when the timeline began to rotate.

"Brother Hyman, cough cough..."

The pale-faced little girl stood inside the window, weakly calling out, before she couldn't help but cough.

"..."

Su Bai's breathing became heavier.

The last scene before his death kept repeating in his mind, but he was unaware of any impending terror.

Why?

What fatal taboo did he trigger?!

Su Bai wasn't afraid of failure, but this kind of clueless failure made him experience the emotion called 'despair' for the first time.

"call……"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Su Bai calmed down a little.

He nimbly climbed through the window.

Before the little girl could say anything, he took the initiative to take in and hide the rope hanging outside the window.

Having learned from his previous experiences, he stopped wasting time and casually picked out a gift from his backpack that she wouldn't refuse to send her away. He also took the opportunity to collect the three items he had found earlier.

"Brother Hyman, do you like my drawing?"

The little girl turned her head and asked.

"certainly."

Su Bai forced a smile and casually praised, "You drew very well."

"Great, Brother Hyman, then this painting is your gift!"

The little girl was also very happy to be recognized.
