Given his current situation, the latter's speculation seems more reasonable, but Su Bai couldn't help but wonder, if the people he killed weren't illusions, could they actually be living people...?

He had previously made this judgment.

After the illusion of the six buildings was formed, many people were mistakenly trapped in it and lost their lives.

Among them are some formidable church hunters, like the two he just killed, who both had clear markings of being hunters.

If they were still alive...

And who is it that keeps them in captivity in this way?

Thinking to himself, Su Bai didn't stop walking. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the next intersection. What appeared in front of him made him stop and interrupted his train of thought.

A seven or eight-year-old boy was squatting in the middle of the corridor with his back to him.

Hearing footsteps, the little boy turned to look at Su Bai, revealing an innocent face. He handed over an item in his hand and asked with a naive expression:

"Brother, can you play a game with me?"

What was bound to happen has finally happened.

Su Bai thought to himself.

He looked at what the little boy handed him, a palm-sized cloth bag stuffed full of fillings, quite substantial.

Look ahead again.

The ground in front of the corridor has been replaced with square tiles, some black and some white.

Different colored floor tiles are arranged in an orderly manner.

To form a pattern.

It looks like a childhood game we played as kids: hopscotch.

"Okay." Su Bai didn't refuse, nor could he refuse. This little brat was the third unsolvable rule monster in the building. To ensure safety, he could only defeat him head-on in the game. Whether he failed or tried to escape, he would trigger the death mechanism.

The victory only resulted in him being forced to retreat temporarily.

It was mentioned in the guide.

A single victory can only buy you a maximum of ten minutes of safety before it comes back to haunt you.

The good news is that during the time he is in a game, he will not be harassed by other monsters, which can be considered as a guarantee of his safety.

Thinking about it this way, the 'Wooden Man' probably didn't chase after him immediately because he had already defeated him once?

It wasn't that Su Bai intentionally overlooked such crucial information.

Rather, he was unsure.

No,

It should be said that it is certain.

He was certain that the movement patterns of the three monsters in the illusion were completely different from those mentioned in the strategy guide. Su Bai did not want to fall into habitual thinking in advance and cause himself to make a fatal oversight.

The little boy smiled happily after hearing that he had accepted his invitation.

He stretched out a hand.

Let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes first!

"OK."

Su Bai nodded slightly.

He didn't know if the other two monsters would take advantage of this moment to catch up, break the original rules of the strategy guide, and kill him outright.

But upon closer reflection...

Anyway, he can't run away now.

Triggering the instant-death mechanic of one monster or triggering the instant-death mechanic of three monsters makes no difference; you're going to die either way. So you might as well calm down and focus on winning the game at hand.

That's what I thought.

His already limited anxiety was immediately replaced by complete rationality.

'That little brat will definitely choose paper in the first round. I just need to choose scissors to gain the first turn, but I don't know if his game rules will change...'

Su Bai recalled the rules of the hopscotch game.

It's very simple.

The pattern formed by white bricks on the ground in front of the stairwell is as follows:

After the game starts, he needs to throw the beanbag in his hand into square 1, and then hop across all the squares on one leg in order. When he reaches square 10, he has to turn back. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he can 'level up' and throw the beanbag into square 2, and then repeat the operation.

Once the sandbag is transported into square 10, also known as 'Heaven', he will gain possession and claim one of the squares as his 'home'.

The next player is not allowed to jump into their "home" when starting the game.

at last.

Whoever occupies the most 'homes' wins.

Without a doubt, this game is not difficult for an adult like him, and whoever plays first will gain an advantage.

It's his turn to go first.

He could even send that little brat away in one round.

If we follow the original strategy...

That's how it should be.

But now that they are in an illusion, and the other two monsters have gained unparalleled power enhancements, Su Bai can't guarantee that his decision to take the first move won't cause any problems.

'Let him go first; he can't win everything in one round anyway.'

Thinking to myself.

Su Bai's hand, which had been holding scissors, turned into a rock.

Then, looking at the scissors the little boy had drawn, his expression froze slightly, and the boy said with regret, "What a pity!"

That little rascal...

Su Bai glared at him with hostility.

He couldn't help but wonder if his knowledge of the six buildings and three phantom gods was limited to the strategy guides, and whether they could actually be killed in the illusion.

The dangerous thought flashed through my mind in an instant.

Su Bai took the sandbag.

"I'm starting."

As he spoke, he threw the sandbag in his hand onto the first white tile, then stood up on one leg and jumped steadily onto it.

No traps...

Su Bai was mentally prepared for sharp spikes to emerge from under the floor tiles or for them to be covered in grease, but the first step went very smoothly without any problems.
