In the twilight night, the moon is embedded in black velvet, hundreds of rows of red brick and tile houses are scattered along the streets, and the copper-yellow glazed tiles of the tall towers are glowing with a clear color.

Su Mingan jumped onto the window railing. Nuoer, dressed in silk, stood beside him.

At this moment, the world in front of Su Mingan suddenly slowed down a bit, including Noel's opening and closing eyelids and the silk fluttering in the wind, all of which were still under the white and moist moonlight.

[Are you really going to go with Noel? ]

The triangular pattern points out the window: [Follow Noel].

The square pattern remains still at the head of the bed in the window: [Stay].

Su Mingan's gaze stayed on the triangular pattern for a few seconds, and he chose [Follow Noel].

The next moment, he felt his body being lifted up by an invisible force. A force pushed his right foot forward, and in an instant, his figure fell straight down from the sky, his hair hanging high in the night wind, and his black clothes fluttering.

This was not an action he controlled himself. The moment he selected the option, his hands and feet moved on their own, as if he had turned on the automatic path-finding system in the game, or entered a plot CG.

His right hand automatically raised up, and the puppet thread wrapped around a tall building next to him. He twisted his body, and with extremely smooth movements, he stopped his falling momentum and leaped towards the nearby tall building.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

When his feet stepped onto the tiles of the tall building, the silk thread in Su Ming'an's left hand wrapped around the eaves of another tall building. Like a knight who could fly and walk on walls, he kicked his right leg and swung towards another tall building, as smooth and light as a horse stepping on a flying swallow.

This scene was full of the beauty of Qinggong. Under the moonlight, a young man in a black double-breasted robe flew between tall buildings. The candlelight of the capital was hidden under his feet. The thick clouds in the night sky seemed to be one with him. Only the puppet silk threads between the towers carried the bright moonlight.

Noel stood on the window sill, looking at Su Mingan's back.

"So skilled... Is Su Mingan's puppet thread that skilled?" Noel muttered to himself, "It's clearly a skill copied from the late Ninth World. It's only been a few days, and he's using it more skillfully than I am?"

He leaned forward and followed Su Mingan's back.

"despair."

Su Mingan landed on his feet and stood in the alley. The moment he touched the ground, he regained control of his limbs.

...It's really like watching a plot CG. After choosing an option, the player will watch the entire set of actions. During this period, he cannot control his own actions.

After Su Ming'an landed, he used the puppet thread again, trying to recreate the perfect set of light-hearted skills between buildings, but failed and almost fell off the roof.

——That must be the most perfect puppet thread control technology, which can only be completed by system control. His own proficiency is not enough to do that scene. Unless the option is triggered, he can hand over his body to the system.

Thinking about it this way, if there is a battle option later, wouldn’t it be equivalent to turning on automatic battle?

Su Mingan looked up and saw that the tower where the eldest prince was imprisoned was already very far away from him. It went straight into the sky and penetrated the thick clouds. At such a height, if he used the puppet silk to land without injury, he might not succeed.

The night in the capital was quiet. Apart from the night watchmen and the Xiangyunfu guards, no civilians were walking on the streets. The chirping of birds was faint, and the sounds of gongs and wooden clappers could be heard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"It's dry—be careful with fire—!"

The lights held by the soldiers from the capital shone from the alley entrance. After everyone left, Su Mingan walked out from the shadows.

He had noticed that when he selected those options, not only Noel, but even the bullet comments in the live broadcast room were sped up by 0.5 times, which meant that time was not really slowed down, but his own perception was accelerated. After all, the time pause in the dungeon could not affect the audience outside the dungeon, and it was his own senses that were lengthened.

"Su Ming'an." Noel landed beside him: "Follow me to a place."

"Didn't you say to blow up the palace?"

"Not now." Noel straightened his ribbon and said in a serious tone, "From what I understand, the night phase of the Tenth World is very dangerous. Most of the 'abnormalities' occur at night, just like the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"I flipped through some books before, and these 'abnormalities' sound like ghost stories. For example, someone who looks into a bronze mirror in the middle of the night will see a bleeding woman. For example, someone who digs a well to get water in the middle of the night will get bloody water. For example, someone who lies under the bed to sleep at five o'clock will have his head eaten by a ghost who jumped off a cliff and died." Su Mingan thought, "It's just like a supernatural event. For players who are afraid of ghosts, these things are probably more terrifying than monsters... What are you doing?"

Under Su Ming'an's slightly horrified gaze, Noel began to take off his clothes.

"This dress is a little inconvenient, I'll take off the ribbons." Noel explained as he took it off.

"Why are you wearing women's clothes?" Su Mingan asked.

"It's related to 'abnormality'." Noel said, "I possessed the foreign stargazer in General Yang's mansion, and heard from the attendant who was sweeping the court that if a foreigner walks around in the capital late at night, he must be a woman or someone who looks like a woman, otherwise he will attract 'abnormality'. I have heard of many similar rules, such as wearing a brown felt hat when fetching water, otherwise he will be dragged into the well by 'abnormality'. For example, if you kneel in front of the mirror at midnight, you must stand up for a moment, otherwise you will suddenly burst into blood and die. The people of the world have their own set of rules to prevent the appearance of 'abnormality'."

"Instant death rule?" Su Mingan's heart was filled with alarm.

Noel removed the ribbons, leaving only a long dress with gold thread.

"I'm going to take you to get some information tonight." Noel curled his lips and said, "Follow me to a place."

…

The moonlight is bright and the lanterns are colorful.
