Yang Tao's movements naturally attracted the attention of Mice's companion. Ade ran back, his eyes red, and tears streamed down his face as he looked at Mice, whose expression was extremely painful.
He reached out to touch Mice's body, but his hand passed directly through Mice's soul.
"Mice..."
Ade then turned his head to look at Yang Tao: "I've seen information about you. Thank you for avenging Mice."
"Can you... can you free Mice? Looking at him now, he must be in great pain..."
Ade's voice was choked. Although they had grown accustomed to life and death, it didn't mean they were cold-hearted. It could be said that every human who survived in the Backrooms had rich emotions and a deep love for life.
Those with indifferent emotions or distorted personalities had either become Facelings or Wretches by now. After all, exploring the Backrooms alone and exploring it with a group were two completely different worlds.
Yang Tao reached out and patted Ade's shoulder, comforting him: "Alright, don't be too sad. At least his soul is still here. I'll find a way to make him conscious, which can be considered repaying Your kindness for giving me food earlier."
"You watch over him here."
Yang Tao didn't waste any time. Who knew if Mice's soul would suddenly dissipate? He reached out and summoned the wooden door.
Such soul problems were naturally Elisa's forte.
...
After Yang Tao left.
Ade sat down on the curb of the asphalt road, his eyes red, looking at Mice's painfully distorted soul.
A slender hand rested on his shoulder; it was their other companion.
"Ade..."
She couldn't find any words to comfort Ade. Looking at Mice's soul, she was helpless and could only watch silently.
"What was that man just now? Do you know him?"
Ade nodded gently and said: "A few days ago, when we were resting in the house, I connected to the internet on the room's computer to check for new information."
"I unexpectedly found a new level information."
"Level 9527, and there was also a level-exclusive Entity 9527 'Yang Tao'. At the time, I thought someone was joking, so I didn't pay too much attention to it."
"But now it seems this information is true..."
Ade briefly explained the information he had seen about Yang Tao.
"No wonder... only an Entity would have such strong power."
The woman glanced at Mice's soul and continued: "Are we leaving? Or waiting for him to come back?"
"I want to wait for him to come back. According to the information, Entity 9527 Yang Tao has no ill will towards humans and even helps Wanderers in specific situations. What happened just now also proves that Yang Tao has no ill will towards you and me, otherwise, none of us would have survived in the house just now."
"Although I don't know how he will free Mice, I still want to see him off one last time."
This time, the woman said nothing more, just sat quietly beside Ade.
They didn't wait too long. A wooden door appeared out of thin air where Yang Tao had disappeared earlier.
Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, Yang Tao's figure emerged from the wooden door.
"Elisa, this is it. Can you fix it?"
Elisa, who had followed Yang Tao to Level 9, scanned Ade and the others with indifferent eyes. A strange sense of fear emerged in their hearts; it was the feeling of being watched by a top predator.
Finally, Elisa looked at Mice, observed him for a moment, and said: "This is a curse that goes deep into the soul, but I can solve it."
With that, Elisa reached out her hand, and Mice's soul, which had been standing still, instantly flew in front of Elisa.
Elisa's fair palm directly plunged into Mice's head. Dark power surged into Mice's body, and Mice, who had been like a mime, suddenly let out a piercing scream.
However, the scream did not last too long.
Elisa's palm pulled out a wisp of white light from Mice's head, and then this white light was gently crushed by her, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.
"Alright..."
"Thank you for Your hard work, Elisa."
Elisa's efficiency was simply too high. From her arrival to solving the problem, it didn't even take a minute.
Yang Tao looked at the health bar above Mice's head.
[Health 10/10]
It was like a normal person, but a thought suddenly popped into his mind. He turned to Elisa and said: "That... Elisa, can you make him stronger?"
"I want him to live in this world."
Elisa showed no dissatisfaction with Yang Tao's request. She just nodded gently, and an energy appeared out of thin air, pouring into Mice's body.
10... 20... 50...
The power didn't disappear until Mice's health increased to 100 points.
"This is the most I can do. If I infuse more without him adapting, he will lose his mind, and even his soul will explode like a balloon."
"This is enough."
Yang Tao understood this point.
Even Elisa, who was so strong, could get 'full', let alone Mice's soul, who was just an ordinary person.
He looked at Mice, who had been reborn.
His body had become much more solid than before. Although still translucent, at least it didn't feel like it could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
"Mice, how do you feel now?"
The series of changes had left Mice disoriented. The bone-chilling pain earlier had almost made him collapse. If it weren't for an unknown power protecting him, he might have collapsed long ago.
It wasn't until he heard Yang Tao's voice that he came back to his senses.
"Am I... am I dead?"
Yang Tao smiled when he heard Mice's subconscious words and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, you should be dead."
"Alright, don't mourn. Although Your body is gone, Your soul is still here. You're not completely dead."
Mice smiled bitterly and nodded: "Thank you..."
"Don't rush to thank me."
Looking at the translucent Mice, Yang Tao smiled brightly and said: "Saving Your soul is to repay the food and Almond water you gave me before."
"But giving you great strength and the opportunity to survive in soul form is another matter."
As he spoke, Yang Tao exchanged for a compressed door key and handed it to Mice.
"What you need to do now is to adapt to the power within Your body, and then help me find that blue parrot. Once you find it, just use this item to summon the wooden door and tell me."
"As long as you hold the key and think about opening the wooden door, you can do it."
A wise man submits to circumstances.
Mice felt the surging power within his 'body' and silently reached out to take the key Yang Tao handed him.
The originally solid key also became ethereal after Mice took it.
"I will."
Yang Tao nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly thought of the 'Neighborhood Watch' in this level. He pointed at the giant eyeball and instructed: "Currently, Your strength is still not enough to fight against these ghostly things."
"However, you should be able to deal with ordinary Hounds, Wretches, and Skin Stealers. Heh heh, I'm really looking forward to Your growth. Perhaps in the future, the legend of Ghost Mice will be left behind in Level 9."
Yang Tao patted Mice's shoulder, walked to the side, put the big eyeball into his backpack, and directly summoned the wooden door.
"Alright, farewell everyone. When you find that parrot, don't forget to come and find me."
With that, Yang Tao took Elisa back to the Main World.
