I am a max-level Celestial Master, and you're throwing me into a Rule-Based Urban Legend?
Chapter 29: Weren't you just laughing so happily? Now, look at you
As the Goblin Security Guard passed through the hall, he discovered several wax figures shattered on the ground.
Seeing this, he swallowed hard.
He thought to himself: *No wonder the hall was so quiet; it turns out someone had already cleaned up some blind nuisances before I arrived.*
However, despite his submissive appearance, the Goblin Security Guard was as steady as an old dog at heart.
He had his own arrangements; he was planning to give Zhang Yangqing a surprise.
At 6:30 AM, the temperature control system in the wax museum would shut down for a period of time.
While this duration wasn't long enough to melt the wax figures, it would break the seals on all the eerie wax figures.
The Goblin Security Guard had not mentioned this to Zhang Yangqing.
In any case, he had only told him what the treasure inside was and revealed his own identity and the identity of the female entity in the staff lounge—you didn't ask about anything else!
Since you didn't ask, I can't exactly say I'm intentionally withholding information, can I?
Furthermore, after the beating Zhang Yangqing had given him, and considering the time needed to explain everything, if he wasn't mistaken, the time was almost upon them.
Meanwhile, the other Chosen Ones were also prepared.
Rahman mustered his courage and went to Room 3-2, where he discovered that the ice wax figure in the cryogenic sleep chamber had no intention of attacking him.
This was indeed the perfect hiding spot.
Before long, he heard a series of footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps were chaotic; they had opened every door they could reach in the vicinity, yet they dared not enter this specific room.
They feared the freezing cold, and they feared the ice wax figure.
Thus, they could only search the various corners for the silhouettes of the Chosen Ones.
Although Rahman was feeling a bit cold now, his life was safe.
In fact, he had just gathered some intelligence from the female entity in the second-floor staff lounge.
However, the information might be false; what if the "switch" the female entity mentioned was actually for increasing the temperature?
That would mean he would destroy the wax figures and be eliminated immediately.
But it could also be true; however, Rahman saw no need to gamble with his life when he could just play it safe here.
If all else failed, he still had the wax mask; he could just find a way to sneak out.
The first to die was Rossi, a Chosen One from Ramen Land.
When the eerie wax figure burst through the window, he was exhausted and hungry, and his screen went black without him having any ability to resist.
This was within everyone's expectations.
Aside from him, five Chosen Ones had destroyed the cryogenic sleep chambers of the ice entities.
Three Chosen Ones had managed to hide in Room 3-2, but because the ice entity could not replenish its energy, they were soon breached by the ferocious wax figures.
Even though the ice entity tried its best to resist, it was powerless to change the outcome.
Lee Jeong-pi from Korea realized he had caused trouble; at the critical moment, he relied on his speed to run out, opened the main doors of the wax museum, and sought help from the Goblin Security Guard.
Who would have thought that this man was the real heavy hitter? Despite his submissive behavior toward Zhang Yangqing, the Goblin Security Guard crushed Lee Jeong-pi to death with a single hand.
A trace of bloodlust and mockery flickered across his face.
Before dying, Lee Jeong-pi struggled to say, "I let you in, so why are you killing me?"
The Goblin Security Guard said disdainfully, "If you had let me in from the start, I might have considered not killing you if I was in a good mood. But you made me wait at the door for over half an hour; I've lost my patience to play with you!"
The large screen in Korea went black, and the viewers could finally feast.
They were simultaneously heartbroken and weeping as they devoured two large bowls of food.
At this stage, the number of survivors had plummeted from 14 to 8.
While the other seven were enduring the cold and seeking a chance to survive, Zhang Yangqing was already searching for the final treasure.
He was the only Chosen One who dared not hide.
He was also the only one capable of seeing exactly what was happening outside.
Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on his screen.
But this time, even the viewers from the Dragon Kingdom began to feel a sense of dread.
Before Zhang Yangqing and the Goblin Security Guard could even reach the second floor, they were surrounded by eerie wax figures at the stairwell.
The wax figures participating in this large-scale riot in the museum did not look like easy targets.
The masked slasher from horror movies in the exhibition room, the black-robed Grim Reaper with a scythe, the terrifying water ghost Jason, the smiling clown with crimson liquid on its teeth, the stinking zombie in long robes, and the strangely posed two-headed zombie had all appeared, blocking the path of Zhang Yangqing and the Goblin Security Guard.
The Goblin Security Guard was not panicking because he wasn't actually a guard; he was in a semi-wax state. As long as he didn't provoke the eerie wax figures, they wouldn't attack him.
Therefore, these powerful eerie wax figures had only one target: the current "guard," Zhang Yangqing.
The eerie wax figures before them emitted waves of black mist, surging forward like a massive, terrifying army of darkness, intent on swallowing all living things.
Without the freezing seals, their strength was at its peak.
Even the ice wax figure could only hide in its room, releasing cold air to block the door.
Seeing this, the corners of the Goblin Security Guard's mouth began to curl upward.
His plan had succeeded. Was it a surprise? Was it unexpected?
*This is the gift I prepared for you!*
On the large screen, seeing this overwhelming mass of darkness, the Dragon Kingdom viewers were breaking into a cold sweat for Zhang Yangqing.
Even the experts couldn't sit still. There were over a hundred of these eerie wax figures, and most of them were heavy hitters.
Each one looked ferocious; this was going to be a disaster.
[My god, how can he fight so many? They could wear him down to death just by attrition!]
[Big Brother is being too reckless. He should be more cautious at a time like this and learn from the others by hiding in 3-2.]
[Don't say that, Big Brother probably didn't expect there to be this many.]
[What should we do? Big Brother, run! Reaching 3-2 is victory!]
[Don't panic, Big Brother is very fast. He just needs to dodge until the time runs out.]
Many viewers had already stood up, clenching their fists with nervous expressions.
If anything happened to Zhang Yangqing, the entire Dragon Kingdom would face the descent of the Weirdness.
However, no one understood why, even at this moment, Zhang Yangqing remained standing still. Were you really not afraid?
Inside the wax museum, looking at the multitude of entities, Zhang Yangqing nodded and said, "You've all come, then? Saves me the trouble of dealing with you one by one."
Before anyone could understand what he was saying...
In the next second.
Thunder roared around Zhang Yangqing, and purple lightning swirled about him.
The lightning power within him roared, seeking to devour everything.
The lightning illuminated the pitch-black wax museum, making the hearts of all the eerie wax figures tremble.
As Zhang Yangqing raised his hand, the thunder shook the heavens as if it were about to tear the wax museum apart!
The lightning struck out violently, and that vast surge of spiritual energy instantly pierced through all the eerie wax figures.
In an instant, the surrounding army of darkness was shattered!
The speed of the lightning was so great that even the eerie wax figures had no time to react before they were turned into nothingness.
They didn't even have the chance to wail or flee.
And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, only Zhang Yangqing and the Goblin Security Guard remained near the stairs.
As the Goblin Security Guard stood in disbelief at what had just occurred, a large hand patted him on the shoulder.
The Goblin Security Guard shuddered from head to toe, his legs turning weak.
A voice reached his ears, sounding like that of a deity.
"You just thought of something funny, didn't you? Why don't you tell me about it too?"
*You were laughing so happily just now; why don't you laugh now?*
