Chapter 376: 176: Respect for the elderly and love for the young Zhou Baiyu
In the countdown time of the little boy, Zhou Baiyu quickly scanned the crowd.
Huang Miu stared at him, and so did the cart-pushing attendant.
The other rule-abiding passengers were also looking at him.
The kind old granny had a pear in her hand just moments before.
The lady named Carolyn folded her alluring legs and slowly sat on the outside of the seating area, revealing half of her heavily made-up face, which was extremely seductive.
The baby's cries also stopped abruptly.
"After touching the little boy, I quickly unlocked many new rules."
"So if I interact with these rule passengers again, perhaps I can unlock rules related to them too."
"But what I might need to be wary of is one key rule among those of the little boy—Rule Five, don't refuse the little child's game requests."
"Judging from the fact that everyone is staring at me right now... is it possible that the rules of the little boy actually affect them too?"
"They can't interfere with the little kid's demands."
Countless thoughts and deductions surfaced in Zhou Baiyu's mind, and at this moment, the countdown had only five seconds left.
But he was still not panicked.
This scare Huang Miu, who had never felt his bladder so full.
Having met Jiang Xianwu, it hadn't been long before they had experienced a few frightening incidents that provoked the urge to urinate.
Zhou Baiyu remained calm and simply found a nearby empty seat to sit down.
"The rules on this train are actually quite manageable, what can be confirmed now is that they are highly misleading, but if you can find loopholes, the rules also encourage exploiting them."
"Moreover, after some testing in the first train carriage, I found that my professional ability was still functional."
"However, if I use the Corruption Tentacles to construct barriers, it might be identified as having offensive potential, which could very likely attract unnecessary trouble."
Zhou Baiyu sat peacefully, choosing a very comfortable position, as if he could stay in trance for a long time.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
The little boy bit through the lollipop, and in an instant, his innocent face turned crimson, as if a childish kid had transformed into a malevolent spirit seeking souls. He looked excitedly at the quietly sitting Zhou Baiyu not far away:
"Big brother, I found you!"
Huang Miu was so frightened that his legs gave out, and he collapsed on the ground.
"Damn it, turns out you wanted to die, shit, why didn't you say so earlier? I still want to live! I haven't even had my fill of indulgence yet!"
The little boy excitedly drooled,
but Zhou Baiyu was still unmoved.
In an instant, many of the rules and folklore creatures also took note of this.
They were all corrupted beings, each with their own domain of corruption.
Some liked to give, some liked to make requests. Some liked to play games.
These rules were their domains.
And now, it seemed the corrupted beings couldn't sense—Zhou Baiyu's existence.
Surprised, the little boy tilted his head, sensing something was off.
He walked over to Zhou Baiyu, trying to pat his shoulder.
The normal process was that after patting the shoulder, they would swap roles in hide and seek, starting the next round of the game.
But being patted on the shoulder by the little boy meant the game was over.
Huang Miu's eyes widened; he had thought Jiang Xianwu was as good as dead, but then he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
The little boy's hand... went straight through Zhou Baiyu's shoulder.
As if Zhou Baiyu didn't exist.
"Found you!"
The little boy shouted the line again, and his hand passed through Zhou Baiyu's shoulder once more.
"Found you!"
"Found you!"
"Found you!"
The atmosphere in the train carriage became eerie for a moment.
It was as if it had encountered a bug.
The little boy began repeating this phrase every so often.
His expression grew more and more irate, and the drool trickling from the corner of his mouth even emitted a nauseating stench due to the high temperature.
"Found you!!!"
He struck at Zhou Baiyu's shoulder with increasing force, but he didn't dare to damage the train.
And Zhou Baiyu?
As regulated, he remained motionless.
As mentioned before, he chose a very comfortable position to sit in. This position allowed Zhou Baiyu to enjoy everything before him with ease.
There was no expression on his face.
As if he was a passenger who wanted peace and didn't wish to be disturbed.
Watching the little boy's expression grow increasingly distorted and angry, Zhou Baiyu felt completely unperturbed inside.
Because when he used this tactic, he had already confirmed that the duration of the skill would outlast the game's end time.
Yes, Zhou Baiyu's key was that he had cheated.
Ability·Moment of Nihility.
It was another ability from the All Gods' Treasure Void Dream.
This ability could render Zhou Baiyu non-existent for a brief period, but during this process, he could hardly move.
If he moved, it would break the state of non-existence.
Additionally, once this ability was activated, it couldn't be used again for a short period.
In real combat, aside from avoiding a fatal strike, it had little significance.
But in this scenario, the skill was a perfect counter for the little boy.
Of course, he also knew that avoiding the little boy's pat on the shoulder might not be the only way to glitch out, but Zhou Baiyu couldn't be bothered to think more about it. Since he had a ready-to-use skill, why not use it?
Huang Miu, who had originally thought Jiang Xianwu was doomed, nearly couldn't hold back a laugh when he saw this scene unfold.
"Clever boy! That's downright filthy cheating, but I love it!"
He still didn't dare to say it out loud, though.
The other rule passengers quietly returned to their seats. Lady Carolyn continued to take out her compact mirror, and began to touch up her makeup.
The old granny was rummaging through her carry bag, searching for something.
The baby was still silent, but it probably wanted to laugh.
