Pi Peng looked surprised. "Boss, where did you hear about this? I had no idea about these things."

Bai Yuhu touched his waist. "Nonsense, how could something like this be public knowledge? It definitely has to be kept under wraps; the slightest disclosure could cause panic."

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and continued, "So, all we need to do is kill the one on the wanted list, and we'll gain a massive amount of resources—even more than what our brothers have earned after anxiously completing dozens of instances."

At this point, Number Two suddenly leaned over. "We're almost there, it's just ahead... It seems to be in that large building."

Bai Yuhu looked up and saw a two-story building in the distance, the type of architecture often seen in period dramas.

"A brothel?" Pi Peng blurted out, suddenly realizing.

Perhaps he had seen numerous brothels in TV dramas, so he naturally voiced his thought.

The few men behind them also looked curiously at the two-story building ahead.

"There definitely won't be any girls in there…"

"Is he going in there to fulfill the conditions of the lantern riddle?"

At this point, Pi Peng looked anxiously towards Bai Yuhu. "Boss, this man is the only one on the wanted list. Although he might not have a team, I think even if he's alone, he could give us a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry," Bai Yuhu said, striding forward. "I've been informed that Gu Mian has a big reputation, but in reality, he's weak... at least weaker than us."

He paused, then lowered his voice. "It seems his physical attributes can't be improved, so it's only a matter of time before he's killed. The game has just started, so the difference isn't very apparent yet. But as time goes on, anyone will be able to deal with this wanted man."

Bai Yuhu continued walking. "That's why we have to act quickly; otherwise, this prize will go to someone else."

Hearing Bai Yuhu's words, Pi Peng looked somewhat perplexed. He knew a mysterious person had informed their boss about Gu Mian.

But the mysterious person only contacted Bai Yuhu directly, so the others had never seen him.

Pi Peng couldn't help but express his doubt. "Boss, don't get tricked. This doesn't sound very reliable."

Bai Yuhu smiled. "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry. Even if Gu Mian really is invincible and we can't handle him, I have a way to escape."

「 」

Currently, Fatty was timidly tailing the group from behind.

He saw that their target seemed to be the two-story building ahead, which made him uneasy.

The Doctor might be in that building ahead, the one that looks like a brothel... I need to warn him... Fatty muttered to himself, adjusting the Night of Roses on his back. I'll take a shortcut. I'll try to cut through and see if I can get there first.

Just as he was hesitating and planning to go in another direction, his arm was suddenly patted.

Fatty shrank back and immediately turned to look.

After seeing the person behind him, he let out a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Han Shan.

Behind Han Shan was Guigu, who was also cowering and looking around nervously. Guigu appeared reluctant, his expression hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Han Shan didn't waste any time. He pointed to the two-story building not far away. "You want to go there?"

Fatty nodded. "To avoid the group ahead."

Han Shan glanced at Bai Yuhu and his men ahead, then turned around. "Follow me."

「Meanwhile.」

Chu Changge and Mr. Green were standing in a corridor. Gu Mian had found a room with a bright mirror.

Other than an eerie mirror, there was nothing else in the room.

The mirror in this room was quite large, not some small, square makeup mirror.

It was a huge full-length mirror, like the mirrors in the fitting rooms of clothing stores.

A mirror this big... it's clearly meant to make it easy for whatever's inside to come out.

"In an empty room with a bright mirror, extinguish all light sources, turn your back to the mirror for one minute. What will you see when you look back?"

Chu Changge still remembered the riddle on that lantern.

Gu Mian had only just gone inside, and the two of them were standing not far from the door, quietly listening for any sound.

For some reason, Mr. Green seemed very nervous.

"He's been in there for so long, and there's no sound! Is everything alright inside?" Mr. Green's hand was clenched into a fist.

Chu Changge checked the time; Gu Mian had only been in for about ten seconds. The time wasn't up yet.

He looked down at Mr. Green beside him. "Who are you worried about?"

Mr. Green was taken aback.

Chu Changge was standing by the railing, looking at the ground below. He paused for a moment, then turned to the green-clad man beside him. "Will you be able to return this time?"

Mr. Green was somewhat wary. "As long as that fellow Gu Mian doesn't cause any more trouble, I can go back."

As he said this, he seemed to recall something. "You people…"

But just then, Chu Changge suddenly interrupted Mr. Green. "There seems to be someone down below."

Mr. Green stood on tiptoe to look down. Indeed, a group of people was approaching from below. He made a quick count. "That's a big group! There must be five or six of them, right?"

Chu Changge nodded. "They're here for us. Given the current situation, it seems we can't avoid stirring up trouble now."

Mr. Green called out anxiously, "Wait—"

But just as he spoke, Chu Changge suddenly grabbed his arm. "Let's go."

Below, Bai Yuhu heard the sound.

Several people looked up. On the second-floor corridor, they saw a green figure being pulled into the shadows by another figure before vanishing.

Pi Peng was startled. "Is that Gu Mian?"

Bai Yuhu shook his head. "No, that's Four-Eyed Boy. I don't recognize the green one."

At this point, Number Two, who was holding the tracking device, looked up. "The precise location is in this building. Gu Mian and Four-Eyed Boy are often together. As long as Four-Eyed Boy is here, Gu Mian can't have gone far."

Bai Yuhu looked at the spot on the second floor where the two had disappeared and smiled. "We're going to the second floor. Quickly."

Pi Peng looked puzzled. "Boss, what if the Doctor is on the first floor? If we go straight up, won't we let him escape?"

"Of course, we'll leave a few men on the first floor to guard. But he's most likely in that room on the second floor." Bai Yuhu gestured with his chin towards a specific room.

Pi Peng followed his boss's gaze and saw a room that was different from the others.

The doors of the surrounding rooms were all slightly ajar, but that particular one was shut tight, so securely that not even a breeze could slip through.

"Gu Mian is probably in there playing some lantern riddle game. We'll go up, interrupt him, and then trap him in that room," Bai Yuhu declared.

Mr. Green had been pulled into a corner by Chu Changge. He struggled briefly. "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly pull me here? Shouldn't you stop them from entering the room? That Doctor is in there working on the lantern riddle task!"

Chu Changge shook his head slightly. "I've calculated it. This group will enter the room roughly one minute after Gu Mian does."

One minute later, something that shouldn't appear will materialize in the mirror. And whoever enters then will run right into it. Gu Mian, the ghost, and the pursuers coming to kill him. At that moment, these three types of beings will all converge in one place.
