Chapter 35: I Quit!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“As expected.”

The corners of Chen Yilang’s mouth curled slightly upwards.

The system’s [ Highlight ] feature was definitely a useful feature that was worth calling a bug.

Within Chen Yilang’s vision, the table lamp seemed to be enveloped in a golden glow, making it easily distinguishable from the other objects in the area.

After all, how could anyone miss something that’s clearly glowing within a dark room?

Chen Yilang walked to the floor lamp and studied it for a long time. Finally, he found its switch and pressed it.

“Click.”

Under the illumination provided by the lamp, a shadow of a key was projected onto the floor.

Chen Yilang immediately turned off the light. Then, he reached under the lampshade and took out a key.

[ Ding! ]

[ Item obtained: Old Bronze Key X 1]

…

Chen Yilang’s intuition told him that the key would come in handy later.

After a quick glance at his surroundings, Chen Yilang noticed that there was no one else present.

With that in mind, he then carefully searched through the hall again. After confirming that there were no other clues, he quickly and decisively left the area, catching up with the rest of the tourists before long.

Around twenty minutes later.

Chen Yilang arrived before an arched door on the second floor.

A group of tourists were gathered in front of the door, talking to one another.

Chen Yilang soon spotted Chen Jiahui and the other two.

“What’s going on here?” Chen Yilang asked.

“You’re finally here, huh? Why are you so slow!?”

Jiang Lingguo continued, “Walk through this arched door and you’ll find a corridor called the Netherworld Corridor.”

“The Netherworld Corridor is the only path to the exit.”

“But since the corridor is long and scary, no one dares to enter it, and as a result, we’re all stuck here.”

“Then why don’t you go?” Chen Yilang asked.

“I’ve never seen it before!” Jiang Linguo snapped with a bit of frustration, “The guide I read a few days ago made no mentions of this corridor! It’s probably a newly implemented section. How annoying.”

“Then why don’t we go in and take a look?” Chen Yilang said. “It’s better than loitering here.”

“But…” Jiang Lingguo hesitated. “There’s no guide for this corridor. I don’t know what’s inside…”

“There’s no set paths in this world too, y’know. Someone has to be the trailblazer.”

Jiang Lingguo did not respond to Chen Yilang’s statement.

Chen Yilang noticed that a new status had appeared above her head.

[ Debuff: Fearful ]

[ Fearful: Under this status, the target’s reaction speed and their mobility will be reduced, whereas their Mind attribute will be greatly reduced. ]

…

Wow.

Chen Yilang wanted to laugh a little.

To think that the fearless [ Level 5 Precious ] was starting to feel afraid!

In that case…

Now’s a good time as any to whittle down her health!

“What?”

“Do my ears deceive me?”

“Don’t tell me that the Fearless Lady Jiang is starting to have second thoughts?”

Chen Yilang said jokingly.

[ Ding! ]

[ You used [ Merciless Insult ] and [ Tit for Tat ] on [ Level 5 Precious ], dealing massive mental damage to it! ]

[ Obtained: 1. Gold Coin + 166 2. Experience + 89 ]

…

“Who said I was afraid?!”

Jiang Linguo’s face flushed red. She could not control her tone and shouted loudly, “Let’s go together, whoever cowers first will have to call the winner their parent!”

Chen Yilang did not know whether to laugh or cry at the declaration.

However, from the looks of it, Jiang Linguo seemed to be dead serious.

Naturally, Chen Yilang remained silent and followed Jiang Linguo into the Netherworld Corridor.

The other two quietly trailed behind.

They were not stupid. After all, they could smell the gunpowder between Jiang Linguo and Chen Yilang from afar.

[ You have entered the Netherworld Corridor ]

The system’s notification box appeared in front of Chen Yilang.

Since there was a system prompt, there was a high likelihood that he had taken the right path.

However, the moment he walked in, Chen Yilang felt something was amiss.

The background music of the corridor was much more ominous, and not just that, the temperature was also lower, which served to further enhance the ambience.

It was on a completely different level compared to the other places in the castle.

The corridor felt like a path to the boss of the dungeon.

As he walked, Chen Yilang realized that Jiang Linguo was lagging behind.

He turned around and looked.

Jiang Linguo had a [ Decelerated ] debuff above her head.

[ Due to the [ Fearful ] status, the target’s Agility attribute has decreased, and she has now entered the [ Decelerated ] state. ]

In truth, Chen Yilang did not even need the system’s help on this one.

Just by looking at her blanched expression, Chen Yilang knew that the girl was starting to to succumb to fear.

“All bark no bite, huh?”

“W-Why a-are you looking at me?!” Jiang Linguo stuttered, “H-Hurry up and keep going forward…”

Jiang Linguo had not even finished her sentence, when suddenly, a secret passage suddenly revealed itself from the side of the Netherworld Corridor.

An evil spirit with disheveled hair and a terrifying appearance broke out from the door and pounced towards Jiang Linguo!

“Ahhh!!!”

Jiang Lingguo’s body trembled violently. Her face turned pale as she fell to the ground in fright.

Reflexively, she crawled on the ground and retreated.

However, due to the darkness of the corridor, she crashed into a wall on the other side with a thud.

Just like that, Chen Yilang watched as her HP dropped twice in a row.

The first was due to the mental damage she had received after being frightened by the ghost, and the second, was due to her crashing into the wall.

Chen Yilang nearly burst out laughing.

If he had known that the [ Level 5 Precious ] would inflict injuries to herself, he would not have been so worried in the first place.

Just like a certain archer who flits around the battlefield during team fights, she would likely kill herself even without any interference from Chen Yilang’s end.

However, while it was fun watching Jiang Linguo make a fool of herself, Chen Yilang also had to admit that, he had received quite a fright from the ghost’s sudden appearance as well.

Fortunately, the ghost that appeared out of nowhere did not pounce on him. Otherwise, his reaction would likely be similar to Jiang Linguo’s.

He reached out and grabbed his chest to feel his own heartbeat.

His heartbeat had risen rapidly due to the fright he had received. However, it was gradually returning to its normal state.

[ You have received 68 points of mental damage due to the attack from [ Evil Spirit ] ]

…

“Huff…”

“Calm down, calm down.”

Chen Yilang took a deep breath and gradually calmed himself down.

He had to admit.

This [ City of Terror ] was truly something.

It could indeed create a feeling of fear that words could not describe.

Upon the appearance of the ghost, the number of tourists who had ventured into the Netherworld Corridor immediately plummeted.

Chen Yilang and the other three walked had only gone ten or so meters into the corridor.

However, the deeper they went, the scarier the scares were, and the appearance of scary ghosts became even more frequent.

Chen Yilang started to worry about the lives of the staff members who were pretending to be ghosts…

After all, if this continued, they might really get their living daylights punched out by muscle-headed scaredy cats.

“I quit!”

She screamed.
