At that moment, Su Kyun had no idea what was happening in the live broadcast room outside.
He didn't know he had been mistaken for a cold-hearted person.
He was still shaken from the sudden electric shock and suddenly found himself in confusion.
Trap after trap.
The time bomb was a trap, and the energized scissors trap had just been sprung.
Seeing the old man's hair standing on end, the thirty-something man's mouth twitched. He ground his teeth and said, "Look around quickly to see if there's any way to free us."
"Otherwise, you definitely won't get out if you're alone."
Su Kyun opened his mouth. Suddenly an idea occurred to him: why not cut the power? Then they could disable the electricity.
He replied, "I'll think of a way."
He didn't dare roam the house. He stood there, scanning for a main switch.
Suddenly his eyes lit up—he really spotted the home circuit breaker box on the second floor. He climbed the stairs immediately.
Since someone else had also come down those stairs, there shouldn't be any traps up there.
"Hey!"
"Where are you going?"
"Save us?" the older man yelled, his face frozen in fear.
The yellow‑haired girl beside him also screamed, "That's it—he wants to leave alone!"
Su Kyun ignored them. He had reached the breaker panel. As he reached out, he froze again, wary of another trap.
He hesitated, unable to move.
The four players still suspended were panicking too, realizing his intent.
"Yes, yes! Turn off the breaker and cut the power!"
"Switch it off. What are you hesitating for?"
"Oh my God!"
Explosions continued in the live broadcast room as well.
["Oh my God, is the breaker still trapped? Why did he stop?"]
One viewer joked, ["Not a real breaker? If he pulls it, everyone dies by electric shock?"]
["I think the coming traps won't be this simple."]
Just as everyone was getting frustrated…
Suddenly, Su Kyun turned and went back down the stairs—he did not cut the power.
This move stunned everyone.
Especially the four trapped players who were on the verge of panic.
"Kid, I warn you, no tricks—I'll kill you when I get down!" the thirty-something man spat harshly.
"Pull that breaker fast for me!"
The boy next to him was more perceptive; he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, save us—this old man is just blowing hot air!"
At those words, the older man glared at him.
Unexpectedly, the other three shot him threatening looks.
Clearly, they thought the old man a fool for asking help while uttering harsh words. Was he seeking death on purpose?
Su Kyun returned to the first floor and headed straight for the prank bomb.
He realized the clown puppet was actually made of wood.
In truth, Su Kyun hadn't overthought it—he feared another electric shock, so he considered using a piece of wood to disable the breaker. The clown puppet came to mind. He grabbed it.
As soon as he lifted it, there was a click.
The entire house went completely dark—every light extinguished.
Suddenly, the live broadcast room exploded with astonishment. Viewer count jumped from over 40,000 to more than 60,000.
["Oh my God, that's brilliant!"]
["Damn, turns out the clown was the real breaker switch!"]
["No wonder he didn't act sooner!"]
This person was terrifyingly smart. I can't imagine people among us think like that.
["He must have faked the actual breaker. Used reverse logic. This guy's too strong."]
["I have a feeling this kid won't be so ordinary in real life."]
Don't say that out loud.
Su Kyun was stunned. He only wanted to use the clown as an insulator to flip the switch.
Unexpectedly, with a strong pull, the power went out for the entire building.
The suspended players swung for a few seconds, then panicked: "Power's out—hurry, hurry, there are scissors!"
Finally, the thirty-year-old man used the scissors to gradually cut the power line. The lights went off.
With a crash, the group fell from above.
It was an embarrassingly clumsy drop.
Then Su Kyun yanked the clown puppet again, and the building returned to light as the auto-lights switched back on.
With one click, the floor was bright and clear.
At that moment, the skirted girl's eyes shone with excitement as she said to Su Kyun, "You're amazing—how did you know the breaker was here?"
The long yellow-haired girl bit her lower lip with a complex expression as she looked at him.
He seemed ordinary, but who knew he was that clever?
Although no one spoke it, they all knew that without Su Kyun, they'd be dead.
Even the thirty-something man became cautious. He hadn't expected this youth's talent. He looked at the faces around him.
"If you really want trouble, you'd be out first."
He cleared his throat twice and said, "You have some skills!"
Meanwhile, the live broadcast continued:
["Hahaha, this rude old man was awesome—but now he looks pathetic!"]
["It's nice to see him realize he must back down now."]
["What a crew of dysfunctional teammates!"]
At that moment, everyone grew extremely cautious, and even the two girls edged closer to Su Kyun, intentionally or not.
It seemed everyone—including the old man—wanted his opinion.
Su Kyun dared not babble; his expression remained cold.
Honestly, he was a bit terrified—it was pure luck.
That's why he pretended to be unfazed, just in case he revealed too much.
...
Now.
Suddenly everyone heard noise again— the bathroom faucet was running.
Water was flooding out.
The two girls were so scared they stepped behind Su Kyun. They clearly felt he could protect them.
Su Kyun trembled. His elbow had brushed against the girl's body—something he shouldn't touch. Out of instinct, he pulled his hand back.
He didn't expect that move to frighten the girls even more.
"Ah—"
They both jumped back, and one of them pulled out a long rope with an apologetic look.
She cried, trembling, "I'm sorry—I just made a small mistake."
"I felt something on your body, so I pulled back my hand."
She hadn't expected to be discovered. She was so panicked her voice shook.
Before, she rarely erred. Her last mistake had been years ago.
Now she was more frightened of the boy in front of her.
Everyone was stunned. Su Kyun looked at her—when had she taken his long rope?
He hadn't noticed at all!
At that moment, the live broadcast chat exploded:
["Damn, this bitch is disgusting!"]
["Fortunately, the kid reacted fast!"]
["Such skill—I didn't catch it until now."]
["Haha, this broadcast is wild. This guy's mind is something else. He told everyone what he saw but hid his rope."]
Su Kyun's face was expressionless—he was floored.
Still wondering how she stole his rope without him feeling it.
But to others, his cold seriousness spoke volumes—a silent judgment stronger than words.
