Tzk! Tzk!

When the cinematic began, it was accompanied by this sound. It sounded like something rubbing against the ground. Feng Bujue was first greeted with darkness, and several seconds later, a gap opened in the middle like he was opening his eyes. It expanded until he could see things clearer; however, the scene was still blurry.

A small, slender figure appeared in his sight. The person was turned away from him. From his frame, it looked like a man. He wore a shirt and suspenders dirtied by blood as he walked to Feng Bujue, and Feng Bujue, or rather the character that Feng Bujue was playing, was lying on the ground. The figure was dragging him down a corridor by his leg.

"Don’t worry, everything will be fine... Something must be wrong... but I will figure out a way..." the person before him said as if to himself. Feng Bujue had no control over his body and could not turn the scene around. Since this was just the introductory cinematic, he was watching something someone else had experienced from a first-person perspective. About thirty seconds later, the person stopped before a steel door at the end of the corridor. The scene shook twice before focusing on the ceiling. Then the sound of the small person leaving the room and the door being locked came. The man was repeating the same thing as he left the room.

"Or eat sh*t?"

He shook his head. "None of these seem to have anything to do with Life Points."

With that in mind, his eyes moved back to the small comb he was holding.

"Even though I can’t see the logic in this, the only thing I can do is use the items one by one... starting with the simplest."

He used the comb to comb his hair twice. Before he finished the second comb, the system rang. "Current quest completed. Main quest updated."

The Life Points stopped dropping. Feng Bujue had twenty-six percent of his Life Points left; that was the third time he had started a scenario with only one-third of his Life Points.

There was a tick next to the earlier quest, and the new quest read, "Escape the room."

"Huh?" Feng Bujue looked at the comb he was holding. "Even though this precludes me from trying weird stuff, that is too..."

He suddenly noticed something as he pulled the comb closer to his eyes. Upon closer inspection, he saw two small letters carved into the comb, A.A.

"Hmm... this looks like limited edition," Feng Bujue commented half-jokingly. He took the three items and sat down by the bed. He placed them all on the bed and picked up each one to study them closer.

Following the completion of the earlier quest, Feng Bujue’s pain lessened slightly. Even though there was still pain, it was much better than before. If there was a comparison, it was the difference between hanging and wearing a choker...

He studied the items for six minutes. There was nothing special about the soap; it was plain and did not smell that fancy. It felt like the most primitive kind of soap. The candle was normal top; neither of them were carved.

"Hmm... it seems the only special thing is the comb." He picked up the comb again and looked at it from all angles. Other than the A.A, he noticed something else. There was hair left on the comb. It was blond, short hair.

"The man that dragged me here had brown hair..." Feng Bujue combed his memory. "This has been used by other prisoners in this room..."

His eyes moved around. When his gaze fell on the wall next to the bed, he noticed something else...

"Hmm, looks like this place has kept plenty of people in the past..."
