This drum tower is about five meters tall and is painted with dark red paint all over. Many parts of it have faded and it looks very old and dilapidated, as if it might collapse at any moment.
At the very top of the Drum Tower stands a huge, red-lacquered, white-faced drum, which is equally dilapidated.
The booming drumbeats came from this large drum. Beside the drum stood a figure, a very slender figure, almost like a bamboo pole. Most strangely, its head was enormous, five times the size of a normal human head.
It looks just like a big-headed doll.
This big-headed doll is constantly hitting a large drum with its big head, producing a dull drumbeat.
Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, accompanied by eerie drumming, everyone felt a sudden difficulty breathing.
Just then, the sound of gears turning came from the neck of the big-headed doll. Its head suddenly rotated 180 degrees, facing the crowd, and its face was completely exposed to everyone's eyes.
Its face was incredibly round, like a perfect circle, covered with thick white powder and eerie blush. Its eyes were the size of an adult's fist. It had no nose, but its mouth was a small cherry-like mouth painted with red lips.
Its eyes were wide open like copper bells, but they were completely empty, like a soulless puppet.
"Wow, there are so many people! Let's play together, hehehe..."
A chilling, shrill laugh emanated from that small, scarlet cherry-red mouth, like a fingernail scratching a blackboard, piercing the eardrums.
"I love playing 'Red Light, Green Light' the most. I'll knock on the drum three times and then turn around. Don't let me see anyone move, or you'll die. If you can get to the top of the drum tower, you win."
After saying that, the big-headed doll didn't wait for anyone to react before turning its head around and starting to beat the drum.
"Leave it to me," Bai Qi said, stepping forward. He was quite confident in his speed. At a distance of over five meters, let alone hitting the drum three times, even if the big-headed doll could only manage half a hit, he would consider himself a loser.
With a light tap of his feet, Bai Qi unleashed his incredible speed, charging towards the giant doll like an arrow.
But when he rushed into the air, thud!
A deep, muffled drumbeat sounded.
Bai Qi's expression changed drastically in an instant. He felt as if his bones were dislocated and his muscles were out of balance. He froze and fell directly from the sky.
