C8

Before he could kiss her, she disappeared with a whoosh. Wu Qiong looked around in confusion, but before he could regain his senses, the System's cold voice rang in his ears once again.

"Congratulations to the Host for completing the Main Mission [Resentment Bypass]! Received LV1 Ghost Actor: Ming Wan! Level 1 Live Actor: Xiang Bing! Reward Screaming Value 100.

Evaluation of Quest Completion: [Perfect], Additional Reward: 1 ticket for Sense Mode usage. "The team module opens."

Wu Qiong sat up, looked around and found himself back home.

As the bloody words in front of his eyes throbbed, a new 'Team' module appeared in the system. Next to it, a number '2' appeared.

Opening up the team, only the cast column was lit.

"Host, please take note. The main task [Burning Room] has been activated. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible!"

"The System is treating me like a pig to be chased away, I can't even afford to be lazy!" Wu Qiong was lying on the sofa, twisting his neck. "I still haven't fully understood this team system!"

Fortunately, this task was to find the entrance and the script in his rented house. I don't think there's any danger, hmm … Maybe.

However, Wu Qiong knew that this so-called mysterious entrance could not be judged by common sense. After all, the system itself was an evil object.

The main door led to the corridor, but aside from the whistling wind, Wu Qiong found nothing else.

It was even more impossible for him to look out of the window because there were so many people gathered outside. Wu Qiong took a deep breath as he looked at his sister who was familiar with sex appeal under the street light. Once again, he closed the window tightly.

The old color TV screen, which had been broken for so many years, glowed with a sinister light. The mirror in the sink reflected Wu Qiong's tired and pale face, and the dark hole in the toilet emitted a faint and strange smell. From the bedroom to the living room, Wu Qiong searched the entire rented room, but he couldn't find the entrance to the system's notice.

"I almost forgot I have a flashlight!" It was only then that Wu Qiong remembered that he still had something he could look at with his own eyes.

The green light of the flashlight swept across the mirror.

Under the strange illumination of the dim light from the flashlight, the scene inside the mirror gradually changed.

The charred and mottled walls were full of cracks, and the charred frame of the door had traces of sparks on it. The entire scene was shrouded in smoke, as if a fire had just broken out.

He turned off the flashlight and the scene returned to normal. The mirror reflected everything as usual.

Wu Qiong even felt that he could smell the burnt smell coming from the mirror. He reached out his hand to touch the surface of the mirror, and the strange burning sensation made him quickly withdraw his hand.

The mission name was [Burned Room].

The mirror was definitely the mysterious entrance to the quest prompt, so there was no doubt that there was a charred room behind it. But how was he to get in?

He turned off the flashlight and turned on the toilet light. Wu Qiong was banging on the cold mirror. Behind the mirror, there was a solid wall.

What the flashlight revealed was the equivalent of another space! The conventional way was definitely impossible.

Sense Mode! Wu Qiong recalled that he still had another ticket!

After trying out the sensing mode once, Wu Qiong had a rough understanding of the functions of this mode. After activating it, he would be able to enter a space that ordinary people were unable to enter and see things that were impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Activate sensing mode!" Wu Qiong softly called out.

"The activation of sensing mode requires a screech value of 100 points, or 1 ticket for the activation of sensing mode. Please confirm the activation method."

No way! He had just received 100 Screaming Points from the previous mission and was going to squander it for the next one. It was really a good plan, but luckily, he had a usage ticket. He helplessly closed his eyes: "Using Sense Mode to use the skill book!"

The bright world in front of him immediately turned gray, and the light from the light bulb became especially dim.

The surrounding sounds were all filtered out, leaving a deathly silence.

The only thing Wu Qiong could hear was a weak sound coming from the mirror.

It was the sound of breathing.

It was as if he was breathing heavily in a space sealed by scorching heat, repressed and despairing at the same time.

The smoke in the mirror seemed to extend in front of Wu Qiong, and he had no choice but to extend his hand to drive away the pungent smell.

This was a room that had been set ablaze by fire. The embers sparkled scarlet, and the heat that flowed in the darkness made Wu Qiong's mouth go dry.

With a crunching sound, the charred wooden floor was crushed by Wu Qiong's foot. A wave of heat seeped through the soles of his shoes, making Wu Qiong feel as if his sneakers were going to melt.

No... Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Wu Qiong felt as though he was going to melt into mush. This stuffy and dry space made it hard for people to breathe.

The green light of the flashlight illuminated the dull, hot, and still space.

Only now did Wu Qiong realize that the stifled breathing he heard was the result of the heat wave rampaging through the room.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, he heard a crisp sound. A blood-red shadow fell at the door, breaking into pieces on the floor. A burnt hand landed in front of Wu Qiong, scaring him into retreat.

It was a charred human figure lying on the ground, its neck twisted and distorted under the scorching heat. Its shrivelled face looked as if it had been bitten by a monster, and its only good eye remained motionless as it stared at Wu Qiong, adding a hint of chilliness to the scorching air.

He walked out of the room with trepidation. The scene in the living room made Wu Qiong even more terrified.

Dozens of human models were placed at their respective positions, some with charred bodies, some with twisted shapes, some sitting on their legs, and some standing on their legs. Strangely, their stiff eyes were all staring at Wu Qiong's location, as if they were silently observing this intruder.

There was nothing abnormal under the flashlight's light. Wu Qiong swallowed his saliva and reminded himself that these things were just human figures.

Script... Probably at the desk in the bedroom. Wu Qiong carefully walked through the space the model occupied and into the bedroom.

The desk had been burnt down with a foot. A model was sitting on the chair, sprawled on the desk, its head half melted in the heat. A hand was pressing down on a pile of papers.

It seemed like … You don't need to worry about it? Wu Qiong carefully made his way over.
