The two ran three laps in the same environment before they caught up with the change in the wall and noticed a crack.

Su Deng pulled Qin Xian straight in.

Sure enough, we've entered a new space!

It was a dark red, circular room. A half-meter-tall wooden puppet, standing upright and held up by strings, circled the wall.

Hehehehe~

The eerie, ethereal laughter came out without any warning, sending chills down one's spine and giving one goosebumps.

At the same moment, all the puppets around them opened their eyes, and beams of red and green light shone on the two of them.

Qin Xian crouched behind Su Deng, his face pale with fright. "Su Deng... are we surrounded by ghosts...?"

Su Deng: "..."

"Children, open your eyes!" The ethereal voice turned shrill and drawn out. "Find the three real children hidden here to pass the level, or you'll become puppets!"

If it were just Su Deng himself, given Su Deng's method of game hacking, he would simply cut everything down.

But she's with Qin Xian now.

She could fully bear the consequences of cutting everything down, but Qin Xian might not be so sure...

Su Deng could only use her long-dormant brain to study the marionettes around her, while instructing Qin Xian, "If you're too scared to go by yourself, just stay with me and don't wander off."

This ancient castle is strange, and the BOSS monster behind it is also strange. You might disappear if you take one wrong step.

Without her prompting, Qin Xian followed her closely.

The puppets here, judging from their clothing, include both men and women. They have wooden bodies that make a banging sound when struck, and their green eyes remain fixed, like lifeless objects.

There are no traces on the surface that can be distinguished.

Are you suggesting we take off their clothes?

It doesn't seem very elegant.

But what does it have to do with her?

Su Deng called out to Qin Xian and began to undress the puppets.
