He put the obtained items into his backpack.
Yang Tao looked at the empty, colorful room. Besides some remaining ribbons on the walls, there was nothing else of value.
"Let's go!"
He called out to Yourong and walked towards the door on the other side of the room. After opening it, the outside was still the scene of Level Fun.
However, Yang Tao frowned slightly because he felt that this space seemed to have changed, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.
Walking forward, he soon saw a long, narrow yellow corridor. This corridor was so long that he couldn't see its end.
Some colorful balloons were also floating in the hallway.
Yang Tao felt increasingly uneasy. Just then, a yellow humanoid creature's hand 'walked' out of the wall.
When Yang Tao saw the other party, he felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
"Partier???"
Partiers and Partygoers are essentially Entities, but they belong to different versions of the Backrooms.
Partygoers are generally over two and a half meters tall, while Partiers are typically between one meter seventy and two meters tall, mostly similar to normal adults.
In appearance, Partygoers are closer to the human body, with distinct limbs and heads, while Partiers look as if someone has put a leather raincoat on them, even covering their heads.
Their limbs are hidden within the 'raincoat', making their bodies completely invisible.
They look very much like large checkers.
This Partier clearly saw him. It turned its head to look at Yang Tao, and the smile on its face, which seemed to be drawn with blood, became even more brilliant.
"Hello, Wanderer!"
Yang Tao's expression froze. He hadn't expected this Partier to be able to communicate in Level Fun.
"Hello, Partier."
This Partier was clearly happy to hear Yang Tao respond. It immediately walked towards Yang Tao, saying as it walked, "Are you here to join our party?"
"Hmm, I found a piñata in Level 205. I broke it and came here. I don't know if that counts as an invitation."
"Of course! We welcome everyone who wants to participate in the party. Nothing is more important than a party."
As the other party spoke, it had already reached a short distance from Yang Tao. Then, its body suddenly accelerated, almost at the speed of a human sprinting at full force.
It stretched out its arm and grabbed at Yang Tao. Unlike Partygoers, Partiers have no palms, but they also have a circular mouth at the end of their arms, with a ring of sharp teeth inside that sends shivers down one's spine upon sight.
Yang Tao, who had been on guard.
He took out his Battlesign and slammed it hard against the other party's head.
A dull sound rang out. Yang Tao felt as if he hadn't hit an Entity, but rather a cowhide backpack, as if there was nothing under the Partier's yellow 'raincoat'.
However, the powerful force still made the Partier stumble. If data-based attacks were enabled, it would have flown at this point.
Yang Tao moved forward, reached out, and grabbed the other party's neck. He delivered a heavy punch to its chest.
Then he grabbed the arm that was about to bite him.
He distorted hard.
It turned out that this Partier also had bones in its body.
A crisp sound rang out.
The other party's arm hung limply, but Yang Tao did not directly kill this Partier. After all, this was the first one that had actively spoken.
"Friend, where is the Party Host?"
The Partier was in great pain at this moment...
Yang Tao took out some fire salt and Almond water from his backpack, but his gaze suddenly paused on the milk.
He suddenly remembered the descriptions of Partygoers and Partiers.
They were all controlled by the Party Host...
'I wonder if this Partier can drink milk?'
If not, then it serves the Partiers right to go extinct.
Yang Tao took out the milk and aimed it at the Partier's mouth, but he quickly realized that the mouth on the Partier's face was drawn, and the real mouth was on its hand.
Holding the milk, he silently willed it to be used on the Partier; there was no need to find its real mouth.
"Hey, how do you feel?"
"My body hurts a lot, but my mind is clear now. Thank you, human."
The health bar border above the Partygoer's head turned white:
"I am very sorry for the inconvenience I caused you earlier. I only want to attend parties and do not wish to be an enemy of other Entities or humans."
"This is all the Party Host's conspiracy. Although I don't know what it ultimately wants to do, I think I should go find my true companions."
Partygoers have been proven to have a close relationship with the "Party Host," and their aggression towards humans also stems from the "Party Host's" instigation.
Currently, a small number of Partygoers unaffected by this are distributed across certain loose levels.
A representative example is the neutral Partygoer 'Andy'.
"Wait, before you leave, can you tell me where the Party Host is?"
"It is everywhere. The cakes... those cakes are actually one with it. They have its secretions on them. It can control us through these cakes, and it can also monitor everything in Level Fun."
"I must leave, otherwise I will be controlled by it again. Thank you, human. Do you really not want to go to other levels with me to attend a party?"
When Yang Tao heard what this Partier said, many thoughts popped into his mind. From the moment he arrived at Level Fun, he might have been monitored by the Party Host, but like some special existences, the Party Host's main ability might also be mental.
If it were a 'Beast', he might already be lying in the Overworld loading now.
"You..."
Just as the Partier was about to speak, the surroundings suddenly trembled abnormally.
"The Party Host has noticed this place, an unfamiliar existence. I must go."
"If you want to leave Level Fun, you can keep walking straight. At the end, a green corridor will appear. After entering, you can find a green door on the wall. Through that door, you can return to Level 1."
With that said, this Partier, whose arm was distorted, immediately crashed into the wall beside it. Its body merged into the wall like water.
Yang Tao did not stop it. An uncontrolled Partier had no impact on him.
The tremors grew more intense.
He stretched out his hand and summoned a wooden door, throwing the panicked Xu Yourong behind him inside. In her haste, Xu Yourong felt herself flying, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already fallen onto a patch of grass.
A bucket of milk was thrown onto her.
"Drink it, and stay put for a while. Don't run around."
Bang, the wooden door closed.
Xu Yourong looked at the closed wooden door and the milk in her hand, utterly bewildered.
...
Meanwhile, on Yang Tao's side, as the tremors continued, a room appeared in his line of sight. Inside the room was a giant cake.
A three-tiered fruit cream cake stuck to the wall.
Its lowest layer had a diameter of at least five or six meters, and in its center was a huge humanoid eye, but its pupil was shaped like a plus sign.
"Yang Tao, I don't want to provoke you, but why did you intrude into my Level Fun!"
Yang Tao tilted his head slightly, looked at the Party Host in front of him, and replied with a smile, "Your piñata in Level 205 almost appeared right in front of my face. If I didn't come, it would be too disrespectful to you."
"The appearance of items is a rule, Yang Tao. You are not welcome here..."
Bang...
A gunshot rang out.
But the scene before him changed.
What came into his view was a blood-red maple forest, and children running through the forest.
"Damn, I hate these tasteless Entities the most. If they can't beat you, they expel you. How is that any different from that couch potato in Level 176?"
The blood-red maple trees trembled upon hearing his voice, making way for a small path, a path leading deep into the forest.
