Chapter 255 Do you know him?

Yu Chen walked beside Su Wuli.

He wasn't walking fast, but everyone unconsciously made half a step to the side.

When Chen Kairang stepped on his own official robe, he stumbled and had to hold onto the wall to steady himself.

Sun Yanbai leaned against the wall and followed after Yu Chen walked past.

They didn't know why; he was clearly just an ordinary NPC, yet they suddenly started making way for him for no reason.

After walking for a while, we came across a broken bridge, which wasn't really a bridge.

Between the two stone walls was a narrow crack, the bottom of which was dark and its depth was unknown.

There was the sound of water, dripping.

Several wooden planks lay across the crack; some were broken, and some were crooked.

The widest part is wide enough for one person to step across.

But you have to jump, and if you don't jump well, you might fall into a hole.

Lin Luchi was the first to go, and the process was nerve-wracking but ultimately safe.

Wen Yan stood at the edge of the crack and looked down, her legs went weak.

Chen Kai urged her from behind, and she gritted her teeth and stepped forward, her body swaying slightly as she stepped onto a wobbly wooden plank.

Lin Luchi reached out and pulled her from the other side, and Wen Yan scrambled up to the other side.

Then he squatted on the ground, panting.

Chen Kai took large strides, crossing the widest opening in one step.

When he stepped onto the plank, it sank a bit, and his face stiffened. He lost all interest in joking.

Sun Yanbai was the fourth, Liu Yanfei the fifth...

When Su Wuli arrived, she stood at the edge of the crack and looked down.

"Don't be afraid, Pear, we'll catch you," Wen Yan reassured her from the other side.

"Hmm." Su Wuli nodded slightly, raised her head, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and took a step forward.

However, the next second, a large hand reached out and grabbed her waist, lifting her off the ground.

Yu Chen wrapped one arm around her waist and carried her from one side of the crack to the other.

The movement was so fast that before her gasp could even fully escape her throat, her foot had already landed on the opposite stone slab.

The man withdrew his arm from behind her waist without changing his expression.

Even his breathing was steady.

Wen Yan squatted on the ground, her mouth agape in shock.

From the moment I saw Su Wuli being put down in Yu Chen's arms and standing firmly.

Then the man withdrew his hand.

Wen Yan stood up, her knees not yet fully straight.

He took two steps toward Su Wuli, then stopped.

He opened his mouth in astonishment, "You can do that?"

She turned and looked at the crack she had just climbed over.

His gaze lingered on Su Wuli's face for a moment, then shifted to the masked man in black behind her.

The man stood half a step behind Su Wuli, silent, his posture like a shadow.

Wen Yan couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

I just find it strange that Su Wuli was picked up by a strange man...

The reaction was too mild, too natural.

The screen exploded with comments the moment Yu Chen picked up Su Wuli with one hand.

Holy crap, he's carrying her with one hand?!

That was so fast! I didn't even see how he bent over.

[That sense of power, he's holding a person, a person.]

[That waist strength, that arm strength—even professional martial arts actors wouldn't be able to match that.]

[Where did the production team find this NPC? I'd like to invite one too.]

Don't overthink it, they might just be a family member.

[It's practically unspoken, this is just too good to be true.]

[They're probably just an ordinary person; they only spoke at the beginning, and then barely said anything.]

[It seems like he only has eyes for Su Wuli, haha.]

Lin Luchi stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching Yu Chen put Su Wuli down.

Turning to look at Chen Kai, she found that Chen Kai was also looking.

The two exchanged a glance, and Lin Luchi moved his lips but held back from making a sound.

Chen Kai asked on his behalf, "Which martial arts company borrowed this NPC? Introduce him to me."

Hahaha, let me know if you find it, I want one too!

[Queuing up to register, hahaha.]

The group continued forward, with Wen Yan following behind Su Wuli.

As they walked, he suddenly quickened his pace and walked alongside Su Wuli.

He covered the microphone and leaned close to Su Wuli's ear, lowering his voice to ask, "Do you know him?"

Su Wuli turned her head to look at her, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Given the current situation, he could only deny it for now, and then shook his head at Wen Yan.

Considering it was a live broadcast, Wen Yan didn't ask any further questions.

The entrance to the passage was very dark.

Chen Kai was the first to walk in, and the statue had just stepped inside.

It was swallowed by darkness.

The sound came from inside, muffled.

"I can't see anything..." The last syllable circled twice inside.

Lin Luchi was the second. He reached out and touched the ground, then probed forward with his foot before taking a step.

Sun Yanbai followed behind, his hand on the wall as he slowly felt along the cracks in the brickwork.

Liu Yanfei walked behind him.

Wen Yan stood at the entrance of the passage and glanced inside twice. She then took half a step back and turned to look for Su Wuli.

"Remember to stay close..." Wen Yan paused as she spoke, glancing at the tall figure standing behind Su Wuli, as if she herself needed to be more careful.

Su Wuli was standing by the wall next to the entrance of the passage, raising her hand to touch the wall.

Yu Chen stood half a step behind her, his gaze fixed on the point where her fingertips met the wall.

The All-Black Challenge is here! This level is the scariest; they don't even give you glow sticks.

[You can't see anything; the NPCs can come out wherever they want.]

【Wen Yan, you've retreated again, hahaha.】

Chen Kai was the first to go in; his courage is commendable.

The NPCs are already in place, they'll pop up when the guests arrive.

[So naughty, I love it, hahaha!]

Su Wuli took a step forward tentatively.

Yu Chen followed behind her, his footsteps very soft.

So soft it was almost inaudible.

Su Wuli sometimes even wondered if he had disappeared back at some point.

The passage was so dark she couldn't even see her own hand. She took two steps forward and her foot bumped into something.

I subconsciously looked down, but couldn't see anything.

Yu Chen's voice came from behind, "Left."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli moved her foot half an inch to the left and stepped down.

It's firmly planted.

Did this NPC just say something?

[Was it "left" or "right"? I didn't hear clearly.]

How can he see the road when he's so dark-skinned?

The group walked a little further on.

In the darkness, someone bumped into something, and there was a muffled thud.

Then came Lin Luchi's voice, which sounded a little ethereal, "Something...something crawled across the back of my hand..."

His voice changed as he spoke.

Sun Yanbai added, "He's a bit more steady than him."

"It's a prop, it's fluffy."

Wen Yan's voice came from the middle of the group, tinged with tears.

"I'm not leaving, I really'm not leaving..."

Chen Kai's voice came from the front, a few steps away, "What are you doing in the back? There's nothing in front."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a scream erupted in the passageway.

But it wasn't any of them.

The sound came from directly in front, crashing and jolting in the darkness.

I can't tell which way is which at all.

Wen Yan screamed in panic.

Su Wuli subconsciously shrank her shoulders, and Yu Chen's hand reached out from behind her and covered her head with his palm.

The warmth seeped down from the top of her head and then lingered on her eyelids.

Su Wuli leaned against the man's chest, which made him feel at ease.
