Si Mingye finally snapped out of his pain and hurriedly got up to help Yang Xiaoxiao: "Sister Yang, are you alright?"
"This BOSS is so unpredictable. Why does it have to change the map for no reason? It's terrifying."
His words jolted Yang Xiaoxiao awake, and the woman, still shaken, straightened up.
The image of Si Jin's ten-minute kissing punishment kept flashing through his mind, as well as the strange 60-second BOSS channel question.
Suddenly, she spoke up: "Xiao Ye, I have a thought that's not quite right yet. Do you think that white lotus flower next to Luo Sijin... might actually be the BOSS?"
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoxiao immediately took out her phone and called the toy store owner.
… …
On the other side, Si Jin and the other two hadn't walked far when they came across two shops. One was a puppet factory, and outside were guards full of those strange puppets.
The other one... is a toy store.
The three walked a few steps straight toward the puppet factory, but before they could attract the attention of the puppets, they heard a soft voice calling out, "Everyone, come quick! It's dangerous over there! Come quick!"
The three turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties waving at them. He looked anxious and genuine.
But because of his shifty-looking face, he never gets the kind of good impression people have of him.
Hu Weiyan's intuition was always accurate. He gripped his life-saving charm tightly and stood behind Si Jin: "Why do I feel like it's more dangerous over there than over here?"
Si Jin thought for a moment, then replied loudly, "Wait a moment, I have a small matter to attend to."
Then, he turned around and released a divine power out of thin air, booming—
A second later, he smashed the entire puppet factory beside him into dust.
[...] Xiao Yao hissed softly, asking in confusion, "Sir, is this a small matter?"
Yes. Compared to He A Yuan's fermented sauce, it's indeed a small matter.
Moreover, now that we've found this place, there's no need to keep this factory, which is only trying to cover up its true nature, here.
Toy store owner: "..."
Holy crap! It's a factory where they store basic puppets!
A flicker of heartache crossed the man's eyes. He gritted his teeth, remembering the task his boss had given him, and put on a worried expression again: "Everyone, come over here quickly."
Once I use the settings given by the boss to turn you all into toys, I won't have to worry about anything else.
I will definitely finish the task before Yang Xiaoxiao.
As Si Jin walked into the toy store, the owner's smile grew wider and wider: "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know, those puppets over there are very eerie, they're said to eat people."
"Really?" Si Jin asked with a light smile, "This place is full of desperados, nobody buys toys here. Are you sure the toys in your shop won't eat people?"
The shopkeeper was taken aback, thinking this person was a bit too insightful, and replied with a smile, "This toy contains a life-saving charm, everyone buys it, why don't you get a couple?"
"real?"
"Really!" The boss smiled and stared at Si Jin: "I think this young man is quite capable. How about I give you a few? It's almost night, and there are ghosts and monsters everywhere at night. It's very dangerous. If you want to do a mission, you should wait until tomorrow."
Si Jin stared at the toy for a while, her eyes flickering with emotions, and finally, she chuckled and said, "Okay."
Seeing "Squad Leader Si" nod, Hu Weiyan, still somewhat doubtful, took a small toy and went upstairs to his room.
At midnight, all the toys started playing eerie music again.
"Ding-dong, I have a secret to tell you quietly: welcome to the entrance to heaven."
Hu Weiyan was jolted awake. In the blink of an eye, by the dim light of the monitoring system, he saw the blood and tears flowing from the doll beside him.
Just then, someone rang the doorbell a second time, followed by a frantic banging on the door.
Hu Weiyan was so frightened that he turned pale and didn't dare to go out.
The music was too loud, and he couldn't call out to Si Jin next door. With no other choice, he followed his instincts and jumped out of the third-floor window.
Even if I fall to my death, it's better than being eaten by a ghost!
But the pain he had imagined didn't come; instead, he... fell into a slightly cool embrace.

My darlings, let me talk about the secondary couples. I didn't write much about them, and they weren't in every dimension. For example, the couples Sheng Yu and Mo Qi from the previous dimension, and the two couples from the dating reality show dimension, were just to complete the story. You can't expect me to write a dating reality show dimension where everyone watches the two main characters fall in love, right? That's unrealistic.
The only two secondary couples I really want to write about are Jin Fu and Gu Qingfei, and Shen Lu and Xingzhou. The others are just to advance the plot, and the full description of them probably won't exceed 10,000 words.
The secondary couple, Hu Weiyan, was created because a friend left me a message saying that a couple he knew had a tragic ending, so he asked me to give them a happy ending. At the same time, there are plot points that require Hu Weiyan to uncover, so they won't appear much.
What I'm trying to say is this: My book has 1.56 million words, and the word count for the secondary couple is at most 80,000 words. The rest of the descriptions are all about Yuan Jin. If you don't like the secondary couple, you can skip their story.
There's really no need to criticize the author for this QAQ.
