The sounds of the killer clown opening and closing doors echoed outside, accompanied by the clown's shrill, off-key singing. Yin Zhu turned to look at Wei Chuxing:
What do we do next?
"I have no idea."
Wei Chuxing shook his head, insisting on staying put for a hundred years and offering Yin Zhu no help whatsoever.
"He'll come looking for us sooner or later... Ugh!"
In a panic, Mu Yunsheng subconsciously raised his voice, but Yin Zhu quickly covered his mouth: "Keep it down."
Mu Yunsheng blinked, indicating to Yin Zhu that she had calmed down. After the latter took her hand down, she immediately took out her phone and turned on the flashlight: "Luckily, I didn't use my phone while queuing, and it still has 89% battery left."
"Hmm!"
Upon seeing the surroundings, Mu Yunsheng instinctively covered her mouth to prevent her screams from escaping.
The room was filled with small beds. Even though a long time had passed, the sheets were a grayish-yellow color in the dim light, which still made people imagine how clean and white this place used to be.
However, this place was similar to the previous chapel, also sprayed with dark red liquid, but the amount of bleeding was much less.
"We can hide first."
This time, Wei Chuxing spoke the lines that Yin Zhu wanted to say first, and was glared at by Yin Zhu.
Mu Yunsheng didn't notice the two's subtle actions. After hearing Wei Chuxing's words, he immediately began looking for a place to hide.
The children's bed is too small to fit a person completely underneath. A person could hide in the closet, but once discovered, escape would be difficult. Another hiding place in the room is the toy box; the rubber toys inside might be a bit sticky from age, but in a life-or-death situation, no one cares about the rubber aging.
"What can we do? There are only two spots available..."
Mu Yunsheng looked at Yin Zhu and Wei Chuxing with a troubled and aggrieved expression. His wet eyes inexplicably reminded Yin Zhu of some cute little animals.
Wei Chuxing didn't answer, and also looked at Yin Zhu, passing the buck to her.
"……No."
Yin Zhu lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and raised her face: "There are three spots—you can hide behind the door, but that's a blind spot. I'll hide behind the door."
"That position is too dangerous, and you might get hit when the door is opened."
The reason Mu Yunsheng said this was because the clown outside the door would make two loud noises every time he opened the door: one was the sound of the door being kicked open, and the other was the sound of the door hitting the wall after it opened.
If there's someone behind the door, the killer clown couldn't possibly fail to recognize it.
Yin Zhu nodded: "That's true, but it also means that he won't look behind the door after he goes inside. I can stand next to the dark side first, and then hide behind the door after it opens. Once he takes a few more steps into the house, I'll run out of the house. He probably won't continue searching the house, but will chase after me instead."
Wei Chuxing's expression immediately became somewhat subtle, while Mu Yunsheng was genuinely moved: "You're so kind..."
Yin Zhu nodded to herself: Praise me more, I love to hear it.
“However, once you run out, you can’t do the same thing again when you enter another room. He’ll definitely be on guard,” Mu Yunsheng added. The worry in her eyes was palpable. If she could stop Yin Zhu from taking any more risks, Yin Zhu would probably be even happier.
This aligns with Yin Zhu's consistent impression of her; she has humanity, but not much of it.
Compared to Yin Zhu's life, Mu Yunsheng naturally cared more about her own. So when they watched the performance of "It" in the square, she also tried to make Yin Zhu the first to face the killer clown.
Everyone was trying to survive, so Yin Zhu didn't blame her for being selfish too much—after all, for most people, nothing is more important than their own lives.
Moreover, Yin Zhu had just thought that if there was really no other way, she would just push Wei Chuxing out. Could the extras really kill the supervisor?
If Wei Chuxing is really dead, then I'm very sorry. After I get out, I will definitely buy you a paper villa and a paper sports car to burn for you.
On this point, while Mu Yunsheng might feel guilty, Yin Zhu felt nothing at all—after all, she couldn't die. As for the natives? Let them die! No, they themselves lived in a cycle of death replays; in a sense, it was thanks to the Chosen Ones of Earth that they were given a "second life."
This mental state is exactly what the Dragon Kingdom's think tank is worried about. The Chosen Ones' will to survive can bring victory to all countries in the dungeon, but there will always be powerful people who disregard life and bring disaster to the planet.
At this moment, Wei Chuxing suddenly stepped forward: "I'll distract the clown. We can't let you women do everything."
Yin Zhu glanced at him sideways, thinking: You little brat, are you trying to use this opportunity to leave the team?
Wei Chuxing wasn't the head of the General Office and didn't have any mind-reading abilities, but his intuition told him that Yin Zhu's eyes weren't friendly.
As for Mu Yunsheng, he had always assumed that he would hide and not be the one taking the risks, so he didn't care whether Yin Zhu or Wei Chuxing would be the one "hiding behind the door." However, he still symbolically tried to stop them: "Brother Chuxing, isn't this too dangerous?"
"I'll be fine," Wei Chuxing assured him confidently.
Even though she had some doubts about Wei Chuxing's motives, Yin Zhu ultimately did not refute him, nor did she even make any sarcastic remarks about him "looking down on women".
Yin Zhu has always respected other people's choices.
Having Wei Chuxing do this is indeed safe and reliable. Unless absolutely necessary, Yin Zhu really doesn't want to take too much risk for these two people.
With the plan finalized, the three hid as footsteps drew closer at the door.
