Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 190: Detective Agency (18)

"How interesting, I didn't expect someone to willingly seek death," the young man, recovering his senses, sneered.

"Allow me to correct you, you are the one seeking death," Bai Liang looked down on him, his eyes never showing the panic that others displayed when faced with something strange.

"Hehehe~"

Hearing Bai Liang's words, the young man burst into sharp, piercing laughter, his expression gradually growing more sinister.

He simply waved his hand, and countless shadows emerged from the darkness, just like the ones Will summoned.

Bai Liang watched this, and his conjectures about the content of the book he had seen during the day became even more certain. The events were real, and the shadows described in the book must be just like these.

However, this was not within Bai Liang's scope of interest; right now, he only wanted to find the Silver Item.

Click!

With the click of the stopwatch, the shadows that had just risen, before they could even make a single move, scattered and dissolved like bubbles!

"I gave you the chance to speak so you could tell me where the Silver Item is, not for you to waste time on such actions," Bai Liang said coldly.

The young man, looking at what was happening, was utterly bewildered.

What just happened?

Swish!

Before he could recover, Bai Liang suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him in the back!

Boom!

In an instant, the young man shot forward like a projectile, half of his body crashing into the wall, only his lower half remaining outside.

When he painstakingly pulled his head out and emerged from the wall, half of his head was caved in, his face bloody, bones visible, yet he seemed to feel no pain.

Only one of his eyes glowed with a red light, and his expression was terrifying: "You've angered me, damn it...!"

Thud!

Before he could finish speaking, a foot struck him again from the left side, knocking him down, and then his head was pressed into the floor.

Bai Liang, stepping on his head, let one arm hang freely while the other, bent at the elbow, rested on his knee: "I don't want to waste time talking. Tell me where the Silver Item is, and I'll grant you a swift death."

The young man slowly raised his hand and pointed a finger at Bai Liang's foot.

Bai Liang raised an eyebrow: "Still stubborn, even now you won't speak?"

He slowly lifted his foot, then brought it down with force!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After several thuds, the young man was completely embedded in the floor, and just as Bai Liang was about to deliver a few more blows, he suddenly saw him raise a hand, making a stopping gesture.

Only then did Bai Liang withdraw his foot and stare at him in silence.

The young man painstakingly crawled out of the hole, lying on the floor like a dead dog, his gaze, full of fear, fixed on Bai Liang.

What kind of person is this, anyway?

Didn't I say? I asked you to remove your foot; how can I speak if you don't!

"The Silver Item is under the seat," the young man said faintly, as if he were about to die.

Though he had no strength even to speak, he was afraid that if he didn't, he would receive another blow from Bai Liang, so he couldn't help but speak.

Death itself isn't terrifying; what's more terrifying is living a life worse than death.

Bai Liang glanced at him, then went to where the seat was, lifted the cushion, and found a silver dagger underneath.

The dagger looked ordinary, but it had patterns etched onto it, one of which resembled an eye, very realistic, as if a real eye was staring at you.

After putting the dagger away, Bai Liang returned to the young man and asked: "Do you know where that big Eye is?"

"Why do you need it?" the young man's chest heaved, bewildered.

Bai Liang replied straightforwardly: "To kill it."

"Why?"

The young man was shocked: "You might not be able to handle it, and it seems you two have no conflict, so why bother fighting it?"

"If everything is done only for a reason, then this world is too boring," Bai Liang shook his head.

The young man pondered for a moment, then replied: "You're right, not everything needs a reason. For example, returning homethat's not a reason, but something that must be done."

He suddenly stood up, brushed the dust from his clothes, and sneeringly said to Bai Liang: "Then come on, I'll be waiting for you."

"Of course, provided you find me!"

Listening to him, Bai Liang wasn't surprised in the slightest; it wasn't the young man speaking to him now, but that unknown It.

"I will find you, and very soon."

Click!

The world froze again. Bai Liang, looking at the young man with his frozen, sinister smile, raised his hand and annihilated him.

Then he turned and left.

Soon after Bai Liang left, time flowed as usual once more.

At this time, in the cinema corridor, Chen Hong came to his senses; he was still running desperately towards the exit.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Chen Hong ran out of the cinema and stopped on the brightly lit street, breathing heavily, he looked back at the cinema.

Nothing unusual.

"I survived!"

Feeling his heartbeat, Chen Hong was filled with joy.

Just a little, a very little bit, and he would have died. Fortunately, that Anomaly didn't pursue him.

How smart he was; noticing something was amiss, he immediately ran.

"This level is so dangerous, others must be having a tough time too; this time, many will probably die."

Chen Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice full of solemnity.

【Streamer, it looks like he avoided danger?】

【Just now I almost turned gray with fear, I thought Chen Hong would die, but in the end, he managed to run out.】

【That's luck; luck is also a part of skill.】

【Saved another Voodoo Doll; it looks like this level is almost complete.】

【This level looks very dangerous; even the streamer almost died. Other Players must be having a tough time too.】

However, soon one comment broke this harmony.

【What luck? The Anomaly was already killed by Bai Liang, so how could he not survive?】

【Bai Liang? That cheater? Is he on this level too?】

【Who are you talking about?】

【Just a cheater. I watched a few of his streams; this guy is different from other Players. You can't learn how to play in his chat; it's all just "Wow!"

【Hahaha, funny, I watched too. This guy really doesn't fit the usual standards. Others enter a level to complete it, but he's just there to relax!】

【I just came from there; since the start of this level, the frames keep jumping around; even movies don't jump like that!】

Achoo!

"Is someone talking about me?" at the crime scene, Bai Liang, who had just retrieved the Silver Item from the cabinet, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.
