After showering, the group ascended to the second floor of the legendary bathhouse.
In a four-person room, the group lay sprawled on the massage beds, resting. Lü Liang had already fallen asleep due to relaxation.
Meanwhile, Xu Si and Yang Tao chatted idly, playing with each other, with Yang Tao teasing Xu Si with minor things.
As for Zhang Chulan…
Because of his cinnabar mole, Zhang Chulan, that unlucky child, could only choose a male masseur. He was currently sulking in a corner of the room, drawing circles.
Yang Tao had no intention of using milk to remove the 'restriction' on Zhang Chulan. This was an intangible cultural heritage.
"Zhang Chulan, why does your cinnabar mole have 'Visited Here' on it? Is your grandfather too mischievous?"
Hearing Yang Tao's question, Zhang Chulan turned completely ashen.
"It… I asked for it to be added."
Xu Si immediately sprang from the bed and rushed towards Zhang Chulan, revealing a perverted look as he said, "Zhang Chulan, let me take a look, and I'll raise your salary when I get back!!"
"Haha, a cinnabar mole, and one with 'Visited Here' on it. I don't think I'll ever see a second one in my life."
Electric light immediately flickered around Zhang Chulan's body, and he clutched his shorts tightly. Based on his understanding of Xu Si's moral bottom line, Xu Si would definitely try to pull down his underwear.
"Xu Si, I warn you, if you come any closer, I'll fight you!"
Xu Si said with a look that implied he was being stingy, "Alright, alright, can't I just not look? Really, you're too stingy. Be careful, I might make things difficult for you later."
"Even if you make things difficult, I won't let you see!"
Zhang Chulan and Xu Si might be naturally incompatible; whenever they were together, they would start arguing before long.
Yang Tao lay quietly on the massage bed, looking up at the room's ceiling, thinking about the exploration value and the silky smooth stockings of the masseuse from earlier.
After Zhang Chulan and Xu Si's interaction had mostly subsided, he sat up from the massage bed and said, "Time is almost up. I won't be staying overnight here tonight. Xu Si, I'll also go and watch the Grand Luotian Ritual in half a month."
Xu Si nodded slightly, his expression serious, and said, "I've already reported your matter. I hope you won't cause trouble then…"
"Heh heh, Xu Si, oh Xu Si… never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let's meet again at Longhu Mountain, Lü Liang, wake up, it's time to go."
Hearing someone call his name, Lü Liang opened his eyes and said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, I haven't been resting well these past few days."
"Hmm, it's fine, we should go. Go back tonight and get some good rest, and then you can set off for Longhu Mountain. I'll be going there too."
…
Returning to the Overworld from the One Person World, Yang Tao stretched, a smile appearing on his face as he murmured, "Indeed, it's necessary to combine work with rest."
He then looked at the wooden door not far away that led to Level 365. When he was previously searching for the Sightless Seer, he had only found two before being distracted by a Phobic Centipede and running into Level 5, the 'Terror Hotel'.
The moment he appeared in Level 5, he knew that the damned Phobic Centipede must have been a bait intentionally used by the 'Beast' to lure him.
Otherwise, the 'Beast' would not casually allow a powerful Entity with 65,000 health to run rampant in its territory.
He opened the wooden door.
Yang Tao returned to this Mirror World. The slightly pungent smell of paint in the air made him frown slightly. The hallway, which should have been covered in blood graffiti, was now spotless.
The nauseating blood graffiti and dismembered remains had disappeared.
'Indeed, every level has the ability to automatically refresh…'
Looking at the mirror on the wall, a large number of black squares appeared on Yang Tao's body. His body rapidly shrunk, and soon a Sightless Seer, only the size of a palm, appeared in the hallway.
Then Yang Tao's voice echoed from within this Sightless Seer's body.
"My goodness, there's even an oxygen value in the air…"
This Sightless Seer not only looked like a jellyfish but also had similar characteristics.
For a Sightless Seer, the 'Mirror World' was water, and the real world was a beach. They could come out, but they would die if they stayed too long.
Yang Tao controlled the Sightless Seer's body and quickly flew into a mirror.
"Fortunately, the so-called oxygen value isn't consumed much."
From the transformation until he rushed into the Mirror World, the 'oxygen' bubble did not decrease, indicating that these Sightless Seer could still move in the real world for a period without energy.
Yang Tao carefully observed the Mirror World. Aside from being a mirror image, this Mirror World was identical to Level 365.
Just then, he felt a strange fluctuation, and instantly he knew it was a signal from a fellow kind.
'Is it that convenient?'
Flying towards the location of the 'fellow kind,' the Sightless Seer's speed was very slow, but the Sightless Seer Yang Tao transformed into was very unusual.
Although he couldn't use weapons, items, or potions after transforming, the accessory bonuses were still active, which was quite abnormal.
Perhaps he was now the fastest Sightless Seer in the Backrooms.
Soon, he saw the figure of a Sightless Seer, aimlessly wandering in the 'Mirror World' like a true jellyfish in the ocean.
Yang Tao flew beside it, raised his tentacle, aimed at the mirror on the wall connecting to the real world, and pulled hard…
This Sightless Seer, still unaware of what was happening, was sent flying towards the outside world as if hit by a speeding truck.
'Heh heh, this is the power of knockback!'
Yang Tao quickly followed the other party, returning to the real world from the mirror. He canceled his transformation and, while the Sightless Seer was still in a dazed state, immediately took out the [Firefly Jar] from his backpack and put the Sightless Seer inside.
"Another one, I didn't expect it to be this simple!"
Yang Tao transformed back into a Sightless Seer and flew into the 'Mirror World' again, knocking all the Sightless Seer he encountered into the real world using the same method.
Just as Yang Tao had put the 33rd Sightless Seer into a jar and transformed back into a Sightless Seer, preparing to return to the 'Mirror World,' an inexplicable attraction came from afar.
A very fragrant, extremely fragrant smell.
Yang Tao flew in the direction of the 'smell.' By now, three or four Sightless Seer had gathered there, observing a Wanderer in the real world corridor from within the Mirror World.
At this point, Yang Tao also understood the source of the 'smell': it was the negative emotions emanating from the Wanderer.
Sightless Seer themselves fed on various negative emotions, and the more negative the emotion, the more delicious it was to them.
And this Wanderer was emitting the 'fragrance' of fear.
'Should I… try the taste?'
Yang Tao was very curious about what negative emotions tasted like, but before that, he had to collect these Sightless Seer into jars.
He quickly flew behind the four Sightless Seer and immediately canceled his transformation. However, in the Mirror World, his true body would suffer inexplicable suffocation damage.
With extremely fast hand speed, he put the Sightless Seer one by one into the jars.
Then he transformed back into a Sightless Seer. In this short period, he had lost more than ten health points, which was why Yang Tao had to knock the Sightless Seer out.
