Chapter 286: 286: It’s Not Over Yet

Its colossal head floated on the surface of the water, revealing a grotesque, terrifying half-face, protruding fiendish teeth, and a thin, curved fin spine.

A small glob of black, meaty substance hung off the pointed end of the fin spine.

No one had noticed this before. Even when it had appeared numerous times in front of them, they had never associated it with a light bulb.

Even now, it was hard to think of a connection between a light bulb and this glob.

This time  could they be wrong again?

They couldn’t afford to be wrong again.

If they continued to be wrong, all those who were unable to solve the puzzles would be eliminated!

Shen Mo jumped into the water with the light bulb in his hand.

Everyone’s nerves were on edge, anxiously watching the human and fish in the water, only one question on their mind: is this right, or wrong?

The anglerfish monster in the water was as quiet as ever.

It had been so the previous two times as well. It would stay stationary before going berserk, as if waiting for something.

However, the calmer it was, the more uneasy people felt. They feared it would suddenly leap up and swallow all the players alive!

Yet, Shen Mo’s movements were decisive and swift.

After he jumped into the water, he raised his hand to grab the fin spine, presenting the light bulb!

He did it in one swift, unhesitating motion!

Everyone held their breath for a moment.

The glob of meat-like substance stretched out like tiny claws, securing the light bulb tightly!

Zzzt, Zzzt

The light bulb flickered twice, then lit up!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

The fish monster seemed pleased, grinning widely.

Then, it blew out a string of large bubbles, sank slowly into the water, swayed its tail, and swam away

Everyone:

They felt a bewildering sense of relief as if they had finally sent away a plague.

The water level was falling.

It dropped rapidly, revealing the floor, the stairs, the wallpaper on the second floor. Looking out of the window, they could see the clouds dispersing, the rain stopping, and the hillside and forest gradually emerging from the water.

What was more surprising was that the receding tide not only took away the water but also restored the building’s structure.

All the stairs and furniture that had been bitten and damaged were restored to their original state.

Everyone came down to the first floor and found many shiny beads on the floor – not just 33, but at least a hundred at first glance!

Shen Mo picked up one.

[Rejected Egg of Water Monster: It stings when you’re hit and there’s a 20% chance of triggering the Thunder Blast Effect.]

These descriptions were not present when they picked up the beads just now. Now, however, they floated into their minds. It seemed that only after passing the level could the rewards genuinely become rewards.

As everyone was being attracted by the shiny beads scattered on the ground, a surprised and high-pitched voice sounded—

“You guys actually survived?!”

The Crystal Ball couldn’t help but hop up from the music box, whizzing in front of them! It seemed incredulous, circling around them twice before stopping:

“How is this possible?!! You guys actually survived the summer without losing anyone?!! No  impossible! Is there an error in the data? I’m going to recheck the information!”

It flew back to the music box and stood still, seemingly processing internal information.

There was silence for no more than two seconds when the Crystal Ball screamed again!

“You guys really passed the summer! Just a bit more! Ahhhh just a tad more, and the Water Monster would have swallowed you whole! What a pity!!!”

Everyone:

Bai Youwei gave it a tired glance, then said to Shen Mo, “Let’s clean up the beads on the floor first. Even though they are rewards, if we trip on them and fall, we might get hurt.”

Yan Qingwen also heard her and nodded, “Let’s clean up together, watch your step.”

Having barely escaped with their lives, it would be a real pity if they were to die due to the reward items.

Everyone took this seriously and started picking up the scattered beads on the floor.

No one paid any attention to the Inspector.

Unwilling to be left out, the Crystal Ball flew over again, swayed around, and finally settled in front of Shen Mo and Bai Youwei:

“Hmph! Don’t be high and mighty! It’s not over yet! You won’t escape from the Nail Tooth Monster in the fall! You’ll never get out of this game!!!”
