Chapter 58 Un Entertainment Jiang Yang shook her head, her tone hesitant and submissive...
Upon hearing Miguel's words, Nan Ke's face turned cold.
Jiang Yang reached out and pressed down on Miguel's hand, which was openly fiddling with the star lines. She looked up at Miguel and asked, feigning ignorance, "Huh? You mean, the Jade Rabbit deliberately told us the wrong rules?"
Miguel scoffed at Jiang Yang's performance, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes.
“How could that be?” He smiled and continued to reveal a new piece of information to the two of them: “There is another door in that room, and behind the door is a huge forest.”
This reminded Jiang Yang of their first day's assessment, which also took place in the forest.
Our mission is to escape the forest.
"Of course, I think the more crucial thing is that after I entered the assessment, I fell into the ambush left by Number One."
As Miguel spoke, he gestured with his chin toward Zhang Qing. Jiang Yang followed his gaze and narrowed her eyes slightly.
If the first wave is like this...
Traps and schemes—wouldn't the first to enter have the greatest advantage?
Jiang Yang turned her gaze back to Miguel, pondering the changes in him, and tentatively asked, "And what about you? Did you leave any ambushes behind?"
"It's a pity, it wasn't in time."
Jiang Yang certainly didn't believe this, but before Ji Yang left, he told him not to worry too much. Miguel's talent was with Little Aka, and there were limitations on how much he could use it; it was estimated that he could only use it about three times.
And if we include the time when Miguel plotted against him in the hall, Miguel's talent should be in a state of complete depletion for the time being.
It's unclear what other tricks Miguel has up his sleeve that allow him to act so recklessly.
...
The office door opened in the twenty-fifth minute of Huang Er's assessment.
As expected, it wasn't Huang Er who came out.
Jade Rabbit stood at the door and personally called out the numbers. Inside the hall, Huang Er's disappearance caused panic. At the other end, a player wearing the number four nameplate walked out with a deathly pale face and unusual hesitation.
Jiang Yang and Nan Ke stood near the office.
While he was dawdling, Jiang Yang took the opportunity to observe the jade rabbit that was not far away.
Whether it's a rabbit mask or a rabbit headgear, all the rabbit heads are made to look lifelike, but it seems that only the Jade Rabbit's head looks like a huge rabbit head is actually growing out of its neck.
The eyes took up almost half of the face, with pupils forming an eerie cross shape. When hiding in dark corners, they flashed with a blood-red light, like some kind of evil force, carrying a malice that would impact everything.
Number Four passed by them, and the two exchanged a glance. Then, the star thread in Nan Ke's hand silently and ghost-like attached itself to Number Four, who was about to take the test.
Jiang Yang only breathed a sigh of relief when Number Four entered the office, the office door closed again, and Nan Ke's smug voice rang out.
Five minutes later, Number Four walked out looking dejected. Jiang Yang, still worried, told Nan Ke, "Be careful of MiG," before striding towards the office.
But none of them noticed that it was Huang Er's cigarette case that Miguel was holding and turning around in his hand.
...
What Jiang Yang really didn't expect was that 007 was also there.
The office layout is simple. Upon entering, there is a white wall with a rabbit mask hanging on the left, and an exquisite tea table on the right.
There was a wooden chair on each side of the tea table. Jade Rabbit and 007 sat in the chairs, creating a... well, indescribable scene.
The reason is simple: one is a rabbit head, and the other, due to the judge's identity, has a face that looks like it's covered with a layer of mosaic, leaving the viewer wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
The unexpected scene froze Jiang Yang's smile, and she temporarily put aside her original idea of talking to the Jade Rabbit. She unconsciously changed direction and walked straight to the white wall with the mask hanging on it.
There were so many masks that they far exceeded the total number of players participating in the trial.
When you get close, you can clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from the masks. Some masks have wide-open mouths revealing sharp fangs, while others are covered with cracks and bloodstains, as if telling those bloody stories of the past.
Some ears twisted into some kind of eerie interaction, sending chills down the spine of the viewer.
The door leading to the forest was inside the mask wall. Jiang Yang lingered in front of the mask wall for a while, glancing back every now and then. Yu Tu sat upright in her chair without reacting, while 007 picked up and put down his teacup, making a crisp sound like ceramics colliding, clearly urging him on, but ultimately said nothing.
Jiang Yang gradually became bolder, and he lowered his head and turned around.
His emotions were already building up when he looked up and focused his gaze on the Jade Rabbit. His eyes were slightly red, and then a touching tear unconsciously slid down his pale cheek. His voice was trembling with sobs, and he looked utterly aggrieved.
Is that all?
Jade Rabbit gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, her three-lobed lips uttering a questioning tone, "What do you mean!"
Jiang Yang shook her head, her tone hesitant, "Teacher Barry, I don't like children like these. I want to be the kind of child you like."
? ? ?
A series of question marks floated through the observation room, and even the discussion about 007 came to a halt.
One observer was exasperated, exclaiming, "Can you please stop being so ambiguous?!"
Yu Tu almost broke down because of Jiang Yang's words. Jiang Yang was thinking that if Barry hadn't died, he would most likely still be in charge of the musical auditions. Now that it was Yu Tu's turn, there must be some kind of connection between the two of them.
However, judging from the Jade Rabbit's appearance, this connection doesn't seem to be very pleasant...
Jiang Yang looked at Yu Tu with heartache, then said regretfully, "We are all children without teachers. I really miss Teacher Barry. If only he were still here."
One observer commented, "He died because of you!"
The Jade Rabbit finally couldn't hold back any longer. It stood up and stretched out its claws to attack Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang dodged to the side at the right moment, silently calculating the distance between the Jade Rabbit and the mask wall, while continuing to provoke it, "Your life must be pretty tough too."
The jade rabbit opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and its ears and fur stood up straight, ready to attack at any moment.
007 was no longer in a spectator's mood. After standing up from his chair, he unleashed a burst of energy along a transparent wall of air around him, separating the man and the rabbit. The shockwave impacted both sides, and the jade rabbit landed right back on the chair, its ears returning to their original droopy state.
Jiang Yang wasn't so lucky. When he crashed into the wall of masks behind him, he felt as if his internal organs were about to be dislocated, and he grimaced in pain.
Damn, what a lousy judge!
"Have you all calmed down?"
"UnEntertainment's examiner, Jade Rabbit, violated regulations; UnEntertainment is judging the player..."
007 looked at Jiang Yang, "What's your name?"
Jiang Yang was sitting by the wall rubbing her chest to relieve the pain when she heard this. Her eyes rolled around, and she said in a coquettish tone, "Sir, have you forgotten about me?"
"Please respect my job," 007 said coldly. "What's your name?"
Jiang Yang's face was filled with displeasure. She slammed her hand on the floor, and in a fit of anger... she gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Yang!"
"UnEntertainment judged player Jiang Yang, violated the rules."
"Based on the violation level assessment, the duration of this Desire Lock restriction is 10 minutes, and it will be automatically lifted after 10 minutes."
After speaking, two black shackle-like bracelets landed on Jiang Yang and Yu Tu's wrists respectively, with black mist flowing and moving on them. Jiang Yang didn't feel anything else for the time being.

Jiang Yang struggled to her feet and rushed to 007, shouting indignantly, "Why! She was the one who hit me!"
"Then you fight back?" 007 glanced sideways, his narrow eyes filled with contempt.
Jiang Yang sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes, "It's just not fair!"
007 took a step forward, leaned down and whispered in Jiang Yang's ear, threateningly saying, "If you keep making trouble, I'll hand over the mask you just stole from the wall."
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - 007 Perspective]
"Brother, are you not planning to date Jiang Yang when you go back to Jiyang?"
"Ahhh, no! Don't break up our couple!"
"Thank you, but our Xiao Jiang is truly beautiful. This kind of man is no good!"
It turned out that when Jiang Yang slammed into the wall, taking advantage of the fact that 007 and Jade Rabbit were not paying attention to her, she endured the pain and rolled up a rabbit mask nearby and threw it into her system inventory.
This incident also led observers to call Jiang Yang the "chosen working class without a master" (crossed out) and the "judgment player".
Unfortunately, the backpack could only hold one mask, which meant that if he took another one, he wouldn't be able to put it in the backpack. He didn't know the function of the mask, nor did he know what would happen if he brought it back to the hall after interrupting the assessment.
"If there are no problems, go choose your mask and prepare for the assessment. You've been delayed for too long."
Jiang Yang's little schemes had nowhere to hide from 007. Knowing when to stop, she retreated from the area covered by 007 and turned to choose the mask she had already picked out on the wall.
007 turned his head to look at the Jade Rabbit, "I'll leave this to you," and then took the lead to walk to the mask wall and push open the door.
Jiang Yang was taken aback. His gaze followed 007's movements to the corridor inside the door. He turned his head in disbelief and bumped into the Jade Rabbit's gloating expression. He felt utterly hopeless.
He finally understood what Nan Ke meant by 007 being a hindrance, and at that moment, a terrifying thought of being played to death arose within him.
One observer couldn't help but comment, "Hmm... Ji Yang probably'd be devastated knowing he went through so much trouble to escape the dance drama just to find Jiang Yang, only to have his hand completely ruined by 007..."
A series of "hahahahaha" comments simultaneously flooded the observation room of 007 and Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yangsheng followed 007's footsteps with a sense of despair. The door behind him slowly closed, and the unknown awaited him at the other end of the corridor.
