Chapter 631 BOSS
Zhou You still has a lot of faith in his sixth sense.

The little girl in front of me was indeed fair-skinned and chubby, the kind of girl that would make any older neighbor feel sorry for her.
Faced with that beautiful face, he only had the urge to punch it and smash it to pieces.

The girl was still looking at him with a smile. Zhou You took a deep breath, calmed his desire to slay demons, and then asked softly.

"You've been here for so long. What have you been eating to survive?"

However, the little girl tilted her head, seemingly puzzled.

"What do you want to eat? You can eat anything here."

After a brief silence, Zhou You continued, "Then why did you suddenly appear in front of me?"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately beamed with joy.

"Of course we're playing!"

Zhou You pursed his lips, his words sharp and confrontational.

"Isn't this much food enough for you to play with?"

The girl paused for a moment, then said with dissatisfaction.

"After playing something hundreds or thousands of times, even the most fun things lose their appeal."

At this moment, Wang Xiaoer tugged at his clothes.

"Brother Zhou, maybe..."

However, Zhou You shook his head.

His mouth opened and closed slightly, without uttering a sound, but the shape of his mouth conveyed only one sentence.

"You can't afford to play this game."

After stopping his teammates, Zhou You asked the girl a question.

So what are you planning to play?

The girl suddenly showed an excited expression.

"Since you agreed, let's play."

At this point, the girl hesitated.

After a while, she clapped her hands and spoke.

"Let's play house then! But the three of us don't seem to be enough."

Zhou You shrugged.

"There are only two of us, so don't expect us to bring anyone else. What about you?"

“I have quite a few friends, but... never mind, let Mr. Babu do it.”

The little girl took off her teddy bear backpack, unzipped it, and seemed to be looking for something inside.

"I remember leaving Mr. Bob here, but he's not here anymore. I hope I didn't leave him at home."

Normally, 'Mr. Bob' would definitely be the name of a doll. That's how little girls this age are; a few dolls and toys can keep them entertained all day.

But here's the thing.

Is this the script, or a world within the script that has already been completely corrupted?

Basically, anything associated with it is unlikely to be normal.

Soon, the little girl took something out of her bag.

Upon seeing that thing, Wang Xiaoer's eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to scream.

Zhou You immediately covered his mouth.

Of course, you can't blame him; anyone who saw that thing would be startled.

The left half of this thing is a doll, which looks quite old. Most of its original blond hair has fallen out, and its bald scalp is exposed, making it look particularly creepy.

But on the other side...
That was a human body.

The human body.

Although it has shrunk considerably, it is clearly a person, a living person, half a body.

The man was dressed in the camouflage clothing commonly seen by scavengers, as if he had been split in two, with the ends haphazardly sewn together with crude stitches. Only his slightly rising and falling chest revealed that he was still alive, but he could no longer speak. He could only look at Zhou You and the others with terrified eyes, large tears sliding down his cheeks.

Seeing this terrifying thing, Zhou You felt somewhat relieved.

—I knew it! This place, or rather, this script, is devoid of anything normal.

Looking at the two of them, the little girl laughed even more happily.

"Mr. Babu barged in not long ago. It seems he ate at Uncle Hu's place and didn't pay. Mom kept telling me that this was wrong, so I gave him a little punishment on Uncle Hu's behalf."

Zhou You squinted.

You're saying this is a slight punishment?

The little girl remained as pure and innocent as ever, like a child who knew nothing of the world.

It held the terrifying doll high in a showy manner and laughed boastfully.

"It was just a little punishment, of course—look how ugly he used to be, I just changed him a bit. Now Mr. Babu is so handsome, he can play with me too."

Before he could finish speaking, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
When they looked again, a dagger was already embedded in the throat of 'Mr. Babu'.

Blood gushed from his mouth, and his chest groaned as if breaking a gong—yet even so, a smile of gratitude and relief still shone in his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

The little girl's voice suddenly turned cold.

Zhou You, however, spoke as if nothing had happened.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally slipped. Sorry."

Seeing the hand from which Zhou You had just thrown the dagger, the little girl finally stopped hiding and opened her mouth, revealing a gaping maw.

“It’s alright, Mr. Bob, if it’s ruined, we can just make another one. Besides, I prefer you to that ugly thing.”

Zhou You smiled.

"This seems to be the first time someone has complimented my appearance. But thank you for your kind words, I'm not so desperate for love that I would accept a monster."

At the same time, he also tugged at Wang Xiaoer.

"Boy."

"Zhou, Brother Zhou?"

"Get ready, we're leaving."

The door was not far behind us. In any case, judging from the third floor, these monsters could not leave their floor. Although we were carrying a burden, it was troublesome, so we could retreat to a relatively safe floor and think of another way.

Unfortunately, the severed finger can never be recovered.

In those few breaths, countless laughs suddenly rang out in the amusement park.

Between the slides and the toy houses, one little head after another popped out, each child holding a severed limb in their arms, and each face bearing an expectant and joyful smile.

"A new toy!"

"A new game!"

A new beginning!

"Happiness every day, fun every day, the revelry never ends, the parade will continue!"

Upon seeing those innocent yet bloodthirsty faces, Wang Xiao'er's legs went weak, but he was immediately pulled up by Zhou You.

He looked up and saw only a calm and indifferent face.

"Tsk, the plan has changed. Our retreat is a bit blocked. Let's kill a few to set an example first."

Before they knew it, Wan Ren was already in their hands.

However, just as the two sides were about to clash and begin their battle—the disturbing music suddenly stopped without anyone noticing.

What's so special about this? Are you planning to change the background music before you start playing?

Zhou You was somewhat confused—but when he looked at the little girl, her reaction was even more intense than his.

"Here we go again, here we go again, here we go again, here we go again! How many times have you done this? Do you have to get in my way???"

No one answered.

After the music stopped, silence fell over the surroundings.

The singing demons stopped for a moment, leaving only the little girl screaming hysterically.

Neither Zhou You nor his companion understood what had happened. He had intended to take this opportunity to run away—but when he looked back, a bitter smile immediately appeared on his face.

There was only a huge wall in front of me, completely empty. Where was the door?

But at that moment, the little girl suddenly raised her head.

Its once fair skin was torn into strips, revealing not muscle and fat beneath, but rotting, blackened human tissue—it looked at Zhou You and suddenly revealed a ferocious smile.

"Looks like he's trying to get you out of trouble. But it doesn't matter, we'll kill you before that happens."

As soon as the words were spoken, the still ghosts and monsters surged forth.

Zhou You sighed, shielded Wang Xiaoer behind him, and then flicked his sword.

The throat of one of the ghost children was pierced in an instant, but the sword's momentum did not stop. It changed from a thrust to a sweep, and in a moment, it severed another head.

Then, without even sheathing his sword, he slammed his elbow down.

The creature that tried to sneak over using its height advantage instantly fell to the ground. When you looked again, its head was almost level with your shoulder.

Honestly, even in his most desperate situation, Zhou You wouldn't have to exert much effort to deal with these small fry.

The only problem now is, how do we get Wang Xiaoer out of here?

The elevator entrance? That's one way out. He can't go up, but he can jump down. The distance between the two floors isn't high; he can use his sword as a cushion to land safely. He just doesn't know when that girl will make her move—unlike these small fry, just by looking at her, he knows she's a huge problem.
However, someone quickly provided an answer for him.

Instantly, a feeling of weightlessness came over him. Zhou You looked down and saw that the giant balloon on the second floor had come to his feet and was carrying him and Wang Xiaoer upwards.

The little girl's scream instantly echoed throughout the entire hall.

"you dare!"

The balloon ignored them and slowly floated up with Zhou You and his companion until it reached the rooftop. The bricks and stones seemed to be made of water, and with a ripple of light, they were easily carried through.

Then, we arrived at the fifth floor.

Wang Xiaoer was still confused, while Zhou You patted himself and jumped off the balloon.

Looking around, all that could be seen was ruins.

It looked as if a great battle had taken place here, with broken traces everywhere, and even half of the roof had been torn off—the laughing blood moon hung high in the sky, looking down indiscriminately at all living beings.

Zhou You tapped Wang Xiaoer on the back of the head and then asked.

"Kid, are you familiar with this place?"

The slight pain finally brought Wang Xiaoer back to his senses. He looked around, a look of astonishment on his face.

Zhou You asked casually, "What, has something changed here too?"

Wang Xiaoer shook his head and said blankly.

"No, this place is just as I remember it. Strange, how come the whole mall is having problems, but this most dangerous place hasn't changed?"

"Most dangerous?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Xiaoer realized he had used a terrible word and quickly explained.

"It's not the most dangerous, but before the anomaly, even if someone broke the rules on other floors, they could still come back. But on the 5th floor, if someone made a mistake, no one could come back."

"What are the rules on the fifth floor?"

"No matter what, you must not go into the office."

Zhou You raised his head.

Three faded characters immediately came into view.

"."

After thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips and actually grabbed the doorknob.

"Brother Zhou, what are you doing—"

Before Wang Xiaoer could stop him in a panic, Zhou You had already opened the door.

Nothing happens.

There were no monsters rushing out, nor any strange mutations; only moonlight shone down, illuminating the quiet room.

"Wait a minute... that shouldn't be the case. I remember the people who opened the doors always disappeared into thin air."

Wang Xiaoer was still rambling incoherently, but Zhou You had already patted him on the shoulder.

"Although I don't know why, the fact that he specifically brought us up here means he probably didn't go to great lengths to kill us. Since we're not enemies, he must have something he wants to talk to us about."

"Talking to a weirdo? Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

Before Wang Xiaoer could even say "forgive me for pressing you," Zhou You pursed his lips and gestured behind him.

This time, it wasn't just the stairwell; they even blocked off the elevator side with a wall.

Unless he carries a complete set of tools with him, getting out of there is practically impossible.

His broken leg couldn't support him if he jumped off the roof, so now there was only one way out.

Pulling along the still somewhat frightened Wang Xiaoer, Zhou You walked into the office.

The interior and exterior are similar, so there's no need to describe them in detail. The only complete set is a desk and a few chairs.

At that moment, a man dressed in a black suit sat behind a desk, seemingly gazing up at the night sky.

When Zhou You entered, he didn't conceal his footsteps; in fact, he could be described as carefree. However, he didn't pay attention to him immediately—it wasn't until after a while that he turned his chair and faced the two of them.

Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly.

The thing that rescued them wasn't exactly a monster, but it couldn't really be called human—it wasn't even a living thing.

Right before their eyes was only a wrinkled suit jacket—with nothing underneath.

Zhou You thought for a moment, picked up a small stone from the ground, and casually tossed it in that direction.

The next second, the pebble passed through the gap in the suit compartment and fell to the ground.

"Brother Zhou!!!"

This time, the exclamation consisted of only two words. Looking at Wang Xiaoer's desperate eyes, Zhou You shrugged and then said...

"I just wanted to see if this guy was invisible, but based on the experiment, it seems he isn't."

If possible, Wang Xiaoer really wanted to bite him hard, but the situation was beyond his control. After hesitating for a long time, he could only hold back.

Instead, Zhou You smiled at the man in the suit.

"Thanks a lot for earlier. I don't know what's wrong with that little girl. Doesn't she have any parents to keep an eye on her? By the way, who are you, bro?"

The man in the suit stood with his hands in his pockets for a while before speaking.

Although there was no mouth, a sound still came from that empty place.

"Nice to meet you. My surname is Lu. As for my identity..."

"I am the owner of this shopping mall. To put it simply, I am the boss of this entire shopping mall."

Oops.

We've met the big boss right now, huh?
