When Qi Xia, Doctor Zhao, Old Lu, and Zhang Shan arrived at the “Man-Rabbit” venue, the rabbit was standing outside the door pacing.

She wore an ill-fitting suit and a puffy mask, looking somewhat bizarre.

Seeing four people appear before her at once, she was clearly stunned.

“Where’s Yun Yao?” Qi Xia asked.

The rabbit paused and asked, “Who is Yun Yao?”

Her voice was extremely unpleasant. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, this person was deliberately lowering her voice to make herself sound like someone else.

Old Lu couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, “Stop playing dumb! Where’s the girl who came with me?”

“She hasn’t passed my game yet.” The rabbit slowly moved closer to the door behind her. “Don’t try anything.”

Qi Xia looked the rabbit up and down, his face showing a trace of regret.

“You’ve made a terrible mistake,” Qi Xia said. “Xiao Ran, you’re getting yourself killed.”

The rabbit’s whole body stiffened, and she cried out, “Wh-what Xiao Ran? I’m not Xiao Ran…”

This statement left Zhang Shan and Old Lu completely confused, but made Doctor Zhao show a strange expression.

“Xiao Ran?!” He looked up and down at the rabbit before him, discovering her height did indeed seem shorter now. Her current figure was extremely similar to Xiao Ran’s. “You… why did you put on the rabbit mask?!”

“I said I’m not Xiao Ran!!!” The rabbit shouted. “I… I’m ‘Man-Rabbit’…”

Everyone stared at her intently, as if looking at a clown.

“Fine, Man-Rabbit.” Qi Xia nodded. “I want to participate in your game.”

“What…?” The rabbit was stunned. “Now? Not now…”

“Move aside.” Qi Xia said. “You won’t survive anyway. There’s no need to take Yun Yao with you.”

“Ridiculous… I won’t survive?!” The rabbit sneered maliciously. “I’m the game referee here! I’m a rabbit! How could I not survive?”

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Qi Xia sighed helplessly.

If this woman had shown even a shred of sincerity during all this time, her fate wouldn’t be like this.

Old Lu stood there for a long while and finally understood.

“Young Qi… you’re saying this girl in front of us… is an imposter?!” he asked incredulously.

“That’s right.” Qi Xia nodded. “No need to worry about it anymore. Pull her away. We’re going to save Yun Yao.”

Without a second word, Old Lu rushed forward and directly grabbed the rabbit’s arm, pulling her aside. “You little girl, why don’t you learn to behave?!”

“Ah! What are you doing? Who told you to touch me?!” The rabbit shouted. “Don’t try anything!”

Qi Xia took a deep breath and walked forward to push open the door, only to find it wouldn’t budge.

He looked through the glass window of the door into the room.

The scene inside was no different from the descriptions he’d heard before. On one side was a shattered fish tank. Yun Yao was currently handcuffed to an iron pillar on the other side, unable to move.

What was distressing was that the shattered fish tank was still overflowing with water.

This room was actually completely sealed. The accumulated water had already filled the entire room and was now up to Yun Yao’s neck.

And Yun Yao, being handcuffed, couldn’t straighten up at all. It wouldn’t be long before she drowned.

“Hey!!” The rabbit ran over at this moment, eyes full of panic. “The game isn’t over yet. Are you going to interrupt the game midway?”

Interrupt the game…?

Qi Xia slowly furrowed his brow.

Although Xiao Ran was bluffing, she had indeed reminded him.

Now that she was wearing this mask, did she count as a “Zodiac” or not?

Did the game she designed count as a game or not?

If simply putting on a mask could make one a “Zodiac,” then Qi Xia really couldn’t rashly rescue Yun Yao.

He would be breaking the rules and forcibly interrupting the game, thereby summoning higher-level figures.

But could Yun Yao wait?

Qi Xia looked at the rabbit’s eyes and, after a long silence, said, “We forfeit.”

“For-forfeit?” The rabbit didn’t seem to expect Qi Xia to give this answer and didn’t know what to do for a moment.

“Yes, we forfeit.” Qi Xia nodded. “Aren’t you ‘Man-Rabbit’? Losing a ‘Man-level’ game means losing ‘Dao.’ How many ‘Dao’ do you collect? I’ll give them to you right now.”

The rabbit thought for a moment and said, “Aren’t you very smart? I don’t accept ‘forfeiture.’ Think of a way to save her. If you can’t save her, wait for her to die.”

Qi Xia looked at the situation inside the room again and turned back to ask, “Then if you don’t let me in, how can I save her?”

“What? Someone as smart as you can’t save someone without going in? Save her from outside!” Man-Rabbit mocked.

Everyone was somewhat troubled at this point. They looked at each other and thought about countermeasures.

But Qi Xia seemed confident. He said to the rabbit, “Actually, I’ve already guessed it. The key isn’t inside the room but outside, right?”

“Outside…” The rabbit held back her mockery and asked, “Where outside?”

“Very simple. There’s a withered shrub nearby.” Qi Xia pointed to the dried shrub by the road. “The key is placed there.”

“Pfft…” The rabbit was stunned for a few seconds before finally being amused by this statement. She covered her stomach, laughing so hard she doubled over. “Hahahaha! Qi Xia, how ugly! The way you so confidently stated a wrong answer is truly ugly!”

“Ugly?” Qi Xia asked expressionlessly. “How is it ugly?”

“What ‘the key is outside,’ what ‘shrub,’ this is really hilarious!” She covered her stomach and said, “Qi Xia, you have this day too… The key was broken and thrown away by me long ago!! Just watch Yun Yao die!!”

Hearing this, everyone showed troubled expressions, but Qi Xia’s lips curved up slightly.

“Xiao Ran, you’ve ‘violated the rules.'”

As soon as the words fell, a tall figure suddenly appeared in midair.

He was naked, with pale skin, wearing a cape made of feathers.

This figure startled everyone.

“I say…” the tall figure slowly spoke, “so the ‘game’ you designed has no solution?”

Looking at this man floating in midair like a deity, Xiao Ran collapsed to the ground with a “thump.”

This person’s gaze was neither like a police officer nor like a thug.

Like a god looking down from on high.

“You… who are you?”

“I am ‘Zhu Que.'” The man smiled and landed on the ground behind Xiao Ran, slowly helping her up, then gently embracing her from behind. “I say… I’ve been watching you all along. I thought I’d found a decent rabbit, but how could you not leave the ‘Participants’ a way out?”

Xiao Ran felt the man beside her was ice-cold all over, emanating a rotting stench from his body.

“If word spreads that ‘the game is certain death’… who else will participate in games? What about the ‘Zodiacs” reputation?” Zhu Que slowly sniffed Xiao Ran’s scent and said, “Xiao Ran, you missed the chance to ‘become a god.’ What a pity… such a pity…”

Zhu Que slowly reached out his hand, removed Xiao Ran’s mask and tossed it to the ground, then stood behind her, putting his face close to hers, and spoke to the four men before him.

“Good girl, say goodbye to these four. Otherwise, you won’t have another chance.”

Xiao Ran suddenly showed a terrified expression. She turned to look at the man before her, voice trembling as she asked, “Brother… do you… do you need a woman? I can do anything…”
