I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 243, page 1.17, 20: A Night of Madness
"Can I trust you?" Dao Lin turned to look at Ling Tong, who remained silent, and asked softly.

With a slight flicker in her narrow, golden-orange eyes, Ling Tong suddenly turned to look at Dao Lin, seemingly with a hint of inquiry, but still did not speak.

Dao Lin pursed his thin lips, and as if giving himself a warning, he murmured, "I can trust you." With that, he ran out first.

"Probably..." Ling Tong subconsciously stroked the single tassel earring that dangled from one side, muttering to herself. Her grip on the longsword tightened slightly, and she turned and walked in the opposite direction. Thirty-five gas canisters were no small number, but they certainly wouldn't be hidden in a very conspicuous way.

Mu Yegui held a short sword shaped like a snake in one hand, the blade of which had a cold, vertical pupil.

Under this starlight, only the nearby streetlights dispel the darkness.

“You didn’t say how long it would take for the gas canisters to fully release,” Mu Yegui said after carefully observing the clown’s movements.

"Oh? Didn't I say that? I'm so sorry~ The fastest it takes is 30 minutes, the slowest is 8 hours. But standing in air with a toxic gas concentration of over 60% will cause signs of poisoning even without breathing."

It will adhere to the skin and seep in little by little. Based on the fastest dose, it only takes 15 minutes for the surrounding gas concentration to reach over 60%. I wonder who will be so lucky~ Hahahahaha!" That exaggerated and eerie smile, painted with white greasepaint, also revealed the ugliness of human nature.

"Even if I weren't human, I couldn't help but marvel at your madness." Mu Yegui sighed softly. She didn't really have any sympathy for him, but if you treated it as a game with Fish, she would be quite interested.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and the building not far away began to move.

Mu Yegui suddenly turned to look at the clown and said, "You didn't say that anyone else was involved."

"You have your helpers, and of course I'll have mine." The clown brandished his sword and stab at Mu Yegui, his exaggerated smile instilling fear in everyone.

She took a step to the side to avoid the clown's attack, and raised her left hand into the air, where a black book floated above it.

His cool, silver eyes glanced at the contents of the Nightmare Book, his short sword pressed against the hilt, and his other hand moved across the Nightmare Book.

The Nightmare Book remained suspended in the air and did not fall to the ground when she let go. As her left hand moved, a figure suddenly fell from mid-air.

"Ouch!" Koya rubbed her sore bottom, her brows furrowing. She had almost been stabbed in the chest by Ferna, then was pulled away by an inexplicable force. Although she was saved, her bottom suffered.

Before she could react, she saw a flash of silver sword light rushing towards her, followed by a crisp sound of weapons clashing. Mu Yegui stood in front of Ke Ya, blocking the clown's deadly attack for her.

"Koya, go kill the magician. He's on the moving area plate." Mu Yegui didn't turn around, but said while fighting the clown.

"Huh? Killed the magician? I can't beat the dungeon master. Do you think I'm not human like you?" Koya stood up, her lips twitching slightly, and thought to herself.

"He's stopping Dao Lin and Ling Tong from dismantling the gas canisters. If you don't kill him within half an hour, you'll still die..." Before Mu Yegui could finish speaking, she was slammed against the wall, followed by a sword dart aimed at her throat.

"It's not good to slack off~ Do you want to die?" the clown said sarcastically, showing no mercy in his attack.

Ke Ya watched in alarm as Mu Yegui dodged the most direct attack by tilting his head. While cheering Mu Yegui on in her heart, she began to consider the feasibility of killing the magician.

Mu Yegui braced himself against the ruins with one hand, swept his leg to kick the clown, and then stabbed the clown in the eye with his short sword. "Are you alright..." Ke Ya frowned, "I don't know where the magician is, and if you said he's in the moving area, there's no way I can find him no matter how hard I look."

"According to the puzzle rules, only one piece is missing; the others can be moved. The magician is scrambling the map. Kill him before it's completely scrambled, then go find Daolin."

"The more I talk about it, the more confused I get..." Koya murmured, then suddenly remembered that Fernana was being controlled. She took out a round compass and looked down at it.

【65】Half-size compass (inferior product)

Introduction: There are only two answers in this world: yes and no.

Grade: A (Special)

Active: Select the question; the pointer pointing to the green area indicates yes, and the pointer pointing to the red area indicates no.

Cooldown time: 3/3
Comment: This is probably a blessing for those who have difficulty making choices, but wouldn't being in the middle of red and green drive people crazy?
-
The compass is divided into ten equal sections, with red and green alternating.

Ke Ya looked at the compass and said something in a low voice. Then she saw the pointer on the compass spin rapidly, then slowly stop, and finally land in the green area.

The tension suddenly eased, and green indicated the presence of a musical score that could control others.

The one-in-half probability of this compass is really exciting; once it points to the red area, it's all hopeless. Someone as unlucky as her really doesn't want to use this item she got from the surprise box.

It can reverse possibilities; what doesn't exist can become something, and what exists can become nothing.

Once you point to the exact opposite answer in your mind, it's all over.

"One last question, who is Dao Lin?" Ke Ya suddenly asked Mu Ye Gui before leaving.

She had never met Dao Lin, and didn't even know what he looked like.

"White hair, blue eyes, looks like a minor but is surprisingly calm, extremely confident, incredibly lucky, glowing white skin, very smart, straight engineering guy..."

"Stop! I understand..." Ke Ya's lips twitched slightly as she immediately stopped Mu Yegui's description, feeling that if she continued listening, her impression of Dao Lin would completely change.

In short, he's a wise white-haired boy, right? I think we'll be able to find him. Hopefully, my luck won't be too bad.

As Ke Ya thought this, she took only a few steps forward when she noticed the ground rapidly shifting, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself in an extremely unfamiliar place. Mu Yegui and the clown, who should have been nearby, were completely gone, replaced by a small garden piled high with all sorts of gift boxes.

A faint greenish gas permeated the air, giving her a very bad feeling.

On the other side, while fighting the clown, Mu Yegui suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, I forgot to tell Koya about the gas canisters. It shouldn't be such a coincidence that we ran into them."
