At that moment, it was not the right time to dance, and Lin Yu felt frustrated. She had asked Amy to stop, thinking that Wu Yi was just joking with her, never realizing he was serious.
Just as the incendiary grenade was launched, in a moment of panic, she instinctively raised her palm in a futile attempt to block it. Deep down, she knew she was doomed this time, but she never expected—
She looked at her palm and then at Wu Yi, who stood frozen in place with a face full of terror. "Why do you want to kill me?"
In Wu Yi's eyes, Lin Yu appeared as a terrifying Skeleton Mutant. However, he didn’t expect that the powerful Laser Flame Gun would have little effect on this Skeleton Mutant. For a brief moment of daze, he saw the Skeleton Mutant not only unafraid but also slowly approaching him, opening its gaping maw and roaring something.
"What the hell are you? I'll fight you!" he shouted madly, raising the Laser Flame Gun again and spraying bullets at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu nimbly dodged, the incendiary grenade missing its target and illuminating half of the corridor... She was drenched in sweat from shock and yelled, "Wu Yi, are you crazy?"
Amy was also anxious, swinging her iron arm and murmuring to Lin Yu, "He’s suffering from carbon fiber poisoning; his brain has lost its rationality."
Seeing the Skeleton Mutant retreating as if it were scared, Wu Yi laughed triumphantly. "Hahaha! You ghostly thing, come and try to eat your grandpa Wu!"
While dodging, Lin Yu stepped back and thought urgently, "What should I do? How can I stop him?"
"Channel your energy," Amy said slowly as she rolled along behind her.
"Energy?" Lin Yu hesitated and glanced at her palm. "What energy do I have?" As she spoke those words, she remembered that she had indeed felt superhuman just moments ago when Wu Yi fired the incendiary grenade—
With determination, Lin Yu raised her palm again, mimicking what she had done before...
Wu Yi was closing in...
Amy watched Lin Yu, who was dumbfounded, raise his palm towards Wu Yi and shouted, "Run!"
"Uh..."
Lin Yu felt helpless. What was going on? She ran for her life. Behind her, Wu Yi unknowingly chased after her, moving away from the control room. The corridor was cold and eerie, and in an instant, it felt as if he had applied a refreshing ointment.
He stared at Lin Yu running ahead and then glanced at Amy, who was sliding closely behind.
"Amy?"
Amy ignored Wu Yi's call and slid past him. Her round head kept turning as she muttered, "You're a bad person, you're a bad person."
After running for a while and realizing that Wu Yi wasn't chasing her anymore, Lin Yu finally stopped to catch her breath. As she leaned on her waist, she felt something hard in her pocket. Slowly reaching in to check, she pulled out the Spherical Plant she had taken from the A2 Cultivation Room. It had already wilted and looked far less fresh than when she first saw it.
With a sigh, she tossed the Spherical Plant aside and started running again. She wanted to find Xiao Qiang as soon as possible to clarify what was going on with Wu Yi.

The Eye Patch Man squinted his single eye, for the first time revealing a glimpse of humanity. He looked at the Little Skeleton Mutant and reached out his hand—
Xiao Qiang and Wen Kai arrived just in time. Xiao Qiang shouted, "Eye Patch Man!"
The Eye Patch Man straightened up and smiled at Xiao Qiang, saying, "I knew you would come back for me."
The Little Skeleton Mutant showed no fear towards the three of them. Like an innocent child, it tilted its head with its crimson eyes reflecting a sense of helplessness and loneliness that made one reluctant to harm it.
"Didn’t expect Eye Patch Man to have a kind side? Feeling pity for a demon that kills without blinking," Wen Kai said with an evil grin.
"Eye Patch Man, don’t let appearances fool you. It’s a descendant of the bloodthirsty Skeleton Mutant!" As he spoke, Xiao Qiang raised his dagger, ready to end the Little Skeleton Mutant with a single strike.
"Stop." Eye Patch Man cast a deep glance at the Little Skeleton Mutant and blocked Xiao Qiang and Wen Kai, saying, "It looks quite pitiful. No one can change the course of fate, nor can anyone choose the family or environment they are born into. Let’s just go! Give it a chance to live."
Xiao Qiang and Wen Kai were persuaded by Eye Patch Man and continued on their way.
As they walked, Xiao Qiang felt increasingly uneasy. The appearance of the Little Skeleton Mutant must have a reason... What could that reason be? He pondered deeply.
Typically, adult Skeleton Mutants appeared in groups, yet this Little Skeleton Mutant was alone? He turned back to look again, but the Little Skeleton Mutant had vanished.
"Are we going the wrong way?" Wen Kai asked impatiently.
"I think so too," Xiao Qiang replied, glancing at Eye Patch Man.
Eye Patch Man, seemingly distracted, told them both, "No, just keep going straight." He feigned indifference to them while secretly thinking: Young ones, for your own sake, it’s better to listen to me, Old Eye Mask!
Eye Patch Man was familiar with every passage and every Gate. He led Xiao Qiang and Wen Kai, wandering aimlessly without finding the lair of the Skeleton Mutants.
However, half an hour later, as Lin Yu returned to the main control room passage, Wen Kai and Xiao Qiang simultaneously confronted Eye Patch Man. The latter first let out a cold laugh before saying to them, "You should worry more about yourselves! Go check on your companions and see what their situation is. Then come back if you want to settle scores..."
Hearing this from Eye Patch Man, Xiao Qiang recalled his earlier doubts. "You still haven’t told me the truth."
Wen Kai shot a disdainful glance at Eye Patch Man, his grip on the Steel Bar tightening until his palms began to sweat.
"I'm only going to say this to you; no one else can hear." It was unclear whether Eye Patch Man was deliberately being cryptic or if there was a genuine need for such mystery.
If it weren't for Xiao Qiang constantly suppressing Wen Kai, that Steel Bar guy might have already thrown his weapon and stabbed Eye Patch Man in the chest. Seriously, what was he thinking? Even now, he was still putting on an act.
Wen Kai, visibly angry and breathing heavily, snapped, "You all talk. I'm going ahead to take a look." He really left Xiao Qiang and Eye Patch Man behind, walking off on his own.
"Now that it's just the two of us, you should reveal the truth."
"Before I tell you the truth, you need to agree to one condition."
Xiao Qiang could clearly sense that Eye Patch Man had ulterior motives. As he stated this condition, a greedy glint flashed in his single eye.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Qiang chose not to directly refute him. Instead, he feigned indifference and said, "Forget it; you might as well not say anything. I'll find out the truth myself." With that, he strode away from Eye Patch Man to catch up with Wen Kai.
"Wait..." Eye Patch Man shouted...
"Stop messing around; I'm not interested." Xiao Qiang continued walking—when suddenly a scream pierced the air, causing him to tense up. He quickly turned back to see a dagger protruding from Eye Patch Man's body. Blood gushed from his mouth in torrents. Not far away stood the Little Skeleton Mutant, whom Old Eye Mask had hesitated to kill, believing it to be innocent.
