When Zhou Hu opened his eyes, the dark moon hanging in the sky and the dim manor came into view. Seeing the scene before him, Zhou Hu's pupils tightened. Just moments ago, the black mist beside the campfire suddenly enveloped him, and then he lost consciousness. When he awoke, he was already in the manor.

"Is the black mist a hallucinogenic substance?" Zhou Hu wondered silently. However, now was not the time to ponder how he got here. Looking around nervously, Zhou Hu found that Henry, who was behind him, was also looking around in confusion. Upon seeing Zhou Hu, Henry quickly moved forward. "Zhou, this...where is this?" 

"Don't panic," Zhou Hu replied. "It seems we are very fortunate to be able to act together from the start."

After saying that, Zhou Hu looked around and noticed a generator next to a small slope not far away. "Come on, let's repair it together!" Without any hesitation, Zhou Hu ran towards the generator. Seeing this, Henry hurriedly followed him to the generator.

As Zhou Hu tried to reach into the generator, he saw a QTE device. The method to repair a generator was straightforward. There were four QTE devices next to a generator, and you only needed to turn the wrench next to the QTE to repair it. Of course, when the pointer of the QTE device lights up, you must press the button below the QTE; otherwise, the generator will explode and the progress will be reversed. These were the rules Yang Chi had told him, and Zhou Hu kept them in mind.

But Zhou Hu didn't expect that before he could put his hand on the motor, Henry suddenly exclaimed, and then the generator made a loud bang with sparks exploding from it. Startled by the sudden explosion, Zhou Hu's face instantly turned grim. "Henry, what are you doing?" Zhou Hu didn't expect the machine would explode right at the start. Feeling confused and a bit aggrieved by Zhou Hu's scolding, Henry responded, "Zhou, you can't blame me. The generator QTE device lit up as soon as I touched it. I...I couldn't react."

"Stop talking nonsense and run away." Zhou Hu knew the sound of the explosion would definitely attract the butcher. Sure enough, before Zhou Hu could finish his words, heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance. Looking in the direction of the footsteps, he saw a strong man holding a machete in one hand and a bear trap in the other striding towards them. Zhou Hu's eyelids twitched upon seeing the man's head. "Good grief, he's stronger than a black bear. Is this the butcher Chen Erlong met before?"

Zhou Hu understood that there were two butchers: one was a strong man with a machete, and the other was a female ghost dressed as a nurse. It seemed they had encountered the former. Looking at Henry beside him, Zhou Hu said loudly, "Act as planned! Henry, go and lure him away!" 

"Alright," Henry responded. After hearing Zhou Hu's words, he recovered from the shock. Zhou Hu didn't need to say more. Seeing the bloody butcher knife in the man's hand, Henry ran faster than anyone else. As expected of someone with a parkour background, Henry rushed toward the nearest wall area, using his hands to propel himself through a low wall window smoothly.

Observing this scene, Yang Chi, who controlled the butcher, couldn't help but be intrigued. "A master indeed, worthy of being a parkour anchor. His movements are incredibly smooth." After taking a glance at Zhou Hu, who had already fled, Yang Chi decided not to chase him but went after Henry instead.

Out of confidence in his own strength, Yang Chi wanted to show off with his master first! However, Yang Chi intended to confront him head-on, but for Henry, who was hiding in the wall area, it was a life-and-death crisis. Hearing heavy footsteps approaching from behind, Henry's heart nearly leapt into his throat. 

"What to do?" 

His heart was beating wildly, and at that moment, what Zhou Hu had said before flashed through Henry's mind: "Use the position of the window and the board to link up and give your teammates as much time as possible!" Knowing that staying was not an option, Henry gritted his teeth and ran toward the board area not far from the wall. There, a board leaned against a gasoline barrel.

What Henry didn't expect was that just as he was about to rush out of the wall area, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Before Henry could react, searing pain shot from his chest. 

"Ah!" 

At that moment, adrenaline surged through Henry, making his legs feel stronger. Ignoring the injury in his chest, Henry increased his speed and ran behind the board. Staring at Yang Chi from behind the board, Henry's hands tightly grasped the edge. Henry already had a plan. If the other party dared to come over, he would cover the opponent's head with the board!

Meanwhile, Yang Chi, who had finished wiping the knife, controlled the butcher and strode towards Henry. Seeing Henry standing behind the board with gritted teeth, Yang Chi couldn't help but laugh. This reminded him of when he first played Dead by Daylight and stood behind a board, waiting foolishly for the butcher, who turned out to be a rabbit mother. Shaking off those bad memories, Yang Chi looked humorously at Henry as if he were a big bad wolf eyeing a little white rabbit.

Henry was sweating profusely as he saw Yang Chi standing on the other side of the board, holding a butcher knife and staring at him. At this moment, Henry couldn't help but roar in his heart, "Come here, Shet, why don't you come over?" The situation made him very uncomfortable. It was neither a matter of running nor staying. What should he do? 

Just as Henry was thinking, he saw the butcher in front suddenly lower his head and place a bear trap on the ground. Seeing this, Henry was momentarily stunned, then his expression changed drastically. Was this butcher planning to block his path with a bear trap? Realizing this, Henry turned around and ran away without hesitation because he understood that if the road was blocked, staying would mean a slow death!

But as Henry turned and tried to flee, heavy footsteps suddenly resounded from behind again. Quickly looking back, he saw the tall figure had passed through the board and was behind him. The bear trap had been a fake action to deceive him! 

It was over. Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Henry's face suddenly turned pale. Then, the butcher knife fell.
