Yang Xinxin's suggestion was very rational. After thinking it over for a moment, Lancelot nodded in agreement.

They exchanged contact information, and then Yang Xinxin began asking Lancelot about what he had learned so far, especially regarding those rules.

Zhang Yi noticed that while they were talking, the Lhamin family's private soldiers behind Lancelot were nervously watching their surroundings, as if afraid something might leap out from the darkness.

Lancelot said, "Let's talk inside the house first!"

Everyone entered an empty room nearby. After closing the door, Lancelot slowly recounted what they had experienced.

"There's a very strange creature here, just like the rules we saw when we first arrived. It actively attacks people. We've already had over a dozen people fall victim to it."

Lancelot said flatly.

Zhang Yi frowned slightly. "Even with you here, you couldn't protect them?"

Lancelot's gaze grew deep.

He lowered his voice and said, "There's simply no way to deal with it. That thing... it's unkillable!"

"So far, the only method that works is staring at it. When someone keeps their eyes on it, it doesn't move. But the moment it loses human sight, it closes in on you at an unimaginable speed."

"We've tried all kinds of methods, but none of them worked."

"Just now, when I heard the loud noise from here, I thought there might be clues, so I came to check it out."

The loud noise earlier had naturally been caused by Zhang Yi's attack.

Lancelot hadn't been there long, and what he said basically covered everything he knew.

Yang Xinxin nodded. "It seems that to clear this game, we have to take the initiative and try to understand the NPCs' rules. So, let's split up!"

"Just like when players play a game, only through constant trial and error can you find the best way to clear it."

Yang Xinxin's words were somewhat cold.

Even Fatty Xu couldn't help shrinking his shoulders when he heard that.

Because when players clear a game, they can revive after dying.

But they were all living people. If they died, they were really dead.

So, it was clear that they would need to let the private soldiers following them rush forward in waves to test things out and understand the game's rules.

Looking at Lancelot's group, not a single member of the Knights of the Round Table had been lost. Obviously, they had been using the Lhamin family's private soldiers to stall those NPCs.

"Alright then, let's stay in touch at all times. For everyone's sake, I hope we don't have any ulterior motives."

Lancelot warned.

Yang Xinxin nodded. "Of course. Right now, our interests are aligned."

"The one saving grace is that there aren't many of those things. We only encountered two or three of them. So, as long as we find a way to kill them, it should be resolved quickly."

Lancelot added.

After reaching their agreement, they filed out of the dim room and into the dimly lit hallway.

Lancelot's group went left, Zhang Yi's group went right.

They were still wondering when they would encounter the mental patients mentioned in the game's rules.

Just as they were passing a cramped corner, they saw a humanoid shape appear in the shadows in the distance.

It stood motionless behind a door about ten meters away, looking eerie.

Judging by the door's proportions, it was at least two meters tall, its body as gaunt as a mummified corpse. It hunched over, its long arms hanging limply at its sides.

But what was most unsettling was where its head should be. Instead of a skull, there was a massive sphere completely disproportionate to its body.

It stood there abruptly, unmoving, like a specimen, blocking half the passageway.

Fatty Xu nearly screamed from fright, but Old You timely covered his mouth.

Zhang Yi had already drawn his gun and stepped forward, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

Unless it was a top-tier superhuman skilled at concealing its aura, any creature appearing within his range would be detected by his Mind Domain through subtle spatial fluctuations.

But Zhang Yi felt absolutely nothing from this thing.

It was just standing there, having never moved at all.

"Bang!"

The Sacred Silver bullet shot straight toward it, but passed through its body like water through ripples, having no effect at all.

Yang Xinxin said, "It looks like this is the mental patient Lancelot was talking about!"

Zhang Yi's eyes turned cold. White Owl in his right hand condensed terrifying Void Power, black energy writhing like thunder serpents.

The second attack still had no effect.

Zhang Yi refused to give up. He directly opened a Dimensional Gate beneath its feet, trying to suck it into his Dimensional Space.

But the dark shadow was completely unaffected, standing quietly on the gate.

Since even this attack couldn't affect it, Zhang Yi, who had been planning to toss it into his dimensional space, had to give up.

This scene was too bizarre to explain with common sense.

But Yang Xinxin grabbed Zhang Yi's arm and said softly, "Don't bother trying anymore, brother. Lancelot said this kind of thing is immune to attacks."

Zhang Yi thought about this eerie space and how it had rendered his attacks completely helpless.

He had no choice but to lower his gun. "Xinxin, what do you think we should do?"

Yang Xinxin looked behind her and said to one of the soldiers, "You stand right here and keep your eyes fixed on it."

The soldiers following Zhang Yi were all the Pagyi family's most loyal warriors, unafraid of death.

Hearing Yang Xinxin's order, the man immediately stepped forward, glaring at the motionless, big-headed dark shadow in the distance.

Yang Xinxin, meanwhile, gestured for the group to slowly retreat until the bizarre creature was no longer in sight.

She didn't leave. Instead, she stopped not far away, staring intently at what was happening over there.

The soldier kept his eyes wide open, but human eyes grow tired. Before long, he blinked involuntarily.

Suddenly, Yang Xinxin, Zhang Yi, and the others clearly saw that, the moment the soldier blinked, the eerie dark shadow appeared right in front of him!

So it wasn't that it was black because of the shadows. It was a genuine, pitch-black monster from head to toe!

Though it had human limbs and torso, it looked more like a gaunt, giant ape, with a pitch-black sphere on its head, no facial features, as if wearing a dark, lamp-like orb.

The soldier's blink took less than 0.1 seconds, and in that instant, it was right in front of him.

At that very moment, goosebumps rose on Zhang Yi's arms.

"It didn't move. It just teleported right in front of that soldier."

Any movement would create spatial fluctuations, disturbing the air like ripples, impossible to hide from Zhang Yi's perception.

But just now, he had felt absolutely nothing!

This eerie phenomenon made even Zhang Yi feel a chill in his heart.

This thing couldn't be killed. If it targeted him, even if his life wasn't in danger, it was still creepy enough.

If even he felt this way, then Zhou Ke'er and the others behind him had fear-stricken faces, pale with dread.

The eerie dark shadow looked down at the soldier from its height, not saying a word, not making any move.

But the soldier's body had already stiffened from fear, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

He didn't dare to make any move, instinctively wanting to turn back and beg Zhang Yi and the others for help.

"Don't look away!!"

Zhang Yi shouted urgently, but by then, it was already too late.
