Among these four people, the one leading them was Su Xiaoyue, who seemed somewhat helpless. Beside Su Xiaoyue was BeiDou, who always gave Zhou Xian a headache whenever he saw him. As soon as BeiDou saw Zhou Xian, he enthusiastically greeted him. Following these two was Zhang Taihao, who wore glasses. "—Wait, Old Zhang, what's the deal with the maid in the maid outfit behind you!" The fact that Su Xiaoyue and BeiDou were here did not surprise the members of the Dragon Tomb Society at all. However, the maid in the maid outfit behind Zhang Taihao was a different story. Was it a cosplay? However, Zhang Taihao did not answer Xu Tianyun, and the maid ignored him as well. "Ahem," Lai Yiming glanced at the maid and said, "She is the organizer of Zhang Taihao's support team. During the competition, she was always waving flags and cheering for him." "Old Lai, how do you know that?" Tao Shan leaned over to Lai Yiming and asked in a low voice. "This—It's a painful memory..." Lai Yiming's lips twitched when he saw the cold-faced girl who looked just like Zhang Taihao. Back when the middle school gaming competition was still ongoing, Lai Yiming saw a peculiar girl in a maid outfit suddenly appear on campus and couldn't help but approach her. As a result, Lai Yiming was mistaken for a pervert and was beaten up by the maid girl using anti-wolf techniques... In short, it was definitely not a pleasant memory. "The things written on this wall, if I'm not mistaken, should be the invisible spell of a game's Taoist priest, right?" After arriving, Zhang Taihao immediately focused his attention on the wall. The array and text on the wall had long since dried up and were not very noticeable, looking more like random graffiti. Therefore, no one noticed it at first. However, Zhang Taihao immediately recognized what these things were. "I was once ambushed in a game, and I saw something like this. Later, I learned that it was one of the arrays used by Taoist priests." Zhang Taihao squinted as he examined the text on the wall. "This is an array?!" After Zhang Tianhao's reminder, the others naturally also noticed this. The things on the wall seemed to resemble the arrays used by Taoist priests in the game. "That's right, this is the array used for invisibility in the game." Zhou Xian answered truthfully. The array itself looked incredibly complex, and it would not be easy for an ordinary person to draw it. However, Zhou Xian had learned about arrays in the game, and perhaps because of this, his movements were very smooth when writing the array, and he effortlessly wrote the text on the wall without any breaks. "Can this thing be used?" Xu Tianyun approached the wall. "I'll show you. But you won't see anything from inside, so stand outside the door." After hearing Zhou Xian's words, everyone stood outside the door. At this moment, Zhou Xian immediately channeled his Taoist power into the wall. After Zhou Xian channeled his Taoist power, the wall seemed to come alive, with the text twisting and turning like living creatures. At the same time, the entire courtyard seemed to be enveloped by a strange presence. For those standing outside the room, what they saw was even more astonishing. Standing outside the door, they could only see Zhou Xian and the things around him inside the room. However, as the array activated, Zhou Xian and the things on the ground seemed to be erased by an eraser, and in an instant, Zhou Xian disappeared! "Are you kidding me?" Xu Tianyun was startled and immediately stepped into the array. In front of him, the previously disappeared Zhou Xian suddenly reappeared! And for the others still standing outside, Xu Tianyun also instantly disappeared when he stepped into the array! "...It's definitely the array from the game... Liuli, use the thermal imaging device to check." "Okay." The maid standing behind Zhang Taihao immediately stepped forward and picked up her personal terminal. "Thermal imaging mode activated." Following the maid's command, a series of data began to flash on the personal terminal. The personal terminal was a high-tech product that had emerged in recent years. It combined the functions of a mobile phone, personal computer, bank card, identity verification system, and more into a powerful device. Of course, the more functions a product had, the higher its price. The personal terminal with thermal imaging capabilities even made Su Xiaoyue, who was standing nearby, feel surprised. "Old Zhang, who is this girl?" Lai Yiming finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and approached Zhang Taihao. "My personal maid, Liuli." Zhang Taihao's answer was brief but made the others' jaws drop. "Personal maid..." Lai Yiming looked at Zhang Taihao with a peculiar expression. "Your family must be really something to have a personal maid." Such a thing, which only existed in Western countries in the last century, now appeared before him, and Lai Yiming felt a bit bewildered. "Hey, what are you talking about!" The originally cold-faced maid finally exploded after hearing Lai Yiming's comment. "...I didn't say anything." Lai Yiming touched his cheek. Arguing with such a violent girl was definitely not a wise choice. "Ah, maid, Su Xiaoyue, speaking of which, don't you have maids at home too?" BeiDou approached Su Xiaoyue. "And if we gather the members of the e-sports club, we could definitely crush the cold-faced glasses guy, right?" Cold-faced glasses guy... Lai Yiming looked at the naive BeiDou and inwardly praised her. Yes, that's exactly what we, the Dragon Tomb Society, have been thinking! Cold-faced glasses guy, what a perfect nickname. Of course, no one dared to call Zhang Taihao that. "Uh—" Su Xiaoyue glanced at Zhang Taihao and, seeing no reaction from him, said, "The maids at my house are more like nannies, quite different from Zhang Taihao's personal maid." Not just quite different. Zhang Taihao, who spent money like water, made even Su Xiaoyue, the daughter of a school trustee, feel intimidated. "Young master..." At this moment, Liuli presented the display screen to Zhang Taihao. "There's nothing on this?" Tao Shan, who was closest, leaned in and found that there was no trace of anyone on the screen. Zhang Taihao thought for a moment and said, "Go inside the array and check." "Okay." Liuli walked into the array, and the others followed her. After entering the array, Zhou Xian quickly appeared in the view. "—What are you all doing?" Zhou Xian, seeing their strange actions, walked over and found a group of shocked faces. "Radar... and sonar, let's test them together." Zhang Taihao pushed his glasses. "Okay." Liuli then walked out again. At this moment, Su Xiaoyue couldn't help but look at her. "Zhang Taihao, how many functions does your maid's personal terminal have? How can it even have a radar?" "…I'm not quite sure. My sister bought it, and it's called the TX-800 model." "Are you kidding? The super personal terminal TX-800, which is only equipped by special forces?!" Tao Shan, who had a slight interest in military affairs, immediately thought of the origin of the TX-800 upon hearing this. "What's that?" Lai Yiming turned to ask Tao Shan. "Well, the TX-800 is the most advanced personal terminal in the world. It has always been equipped for special forces in the military. It can reportedly maintain normal operation for ten minutes at a depth of 10,000 meters underwater and in 2,000-degree molten steel. It also uses very advanced technology, making it impossible to track or interfere with. No way, Old Zhang, the one your maid is holding... is that the legendary TX-800?" Tao Shan's words left everyone around him in shock. Except for Zhou Xian, who was still a bit confused. "So that thing has such a function." Zhang Taihao seemed to really not know. "Hey! Can someone tell me what you're all doing?" Zhou Xian couldn't help but ask. "It's simple, we're testing whether your array is just optical camouflage or something supernatural." Su Xiaoyue answered Zhou Xian while looking at the text on the wall. Unlike its unremarkable appearance at first, after the array was activated, the text on the wall became impossible to ignore, with the strange characters now so prominent that they were unforgettable. "Young master," Liuli, who had just come in from outside, said, "I have determined that neither radar nor sonar can detect anything inside... This array seems to really make this place invisible!" At this moment, everyone's attention was on the wall covered with text. The array actually had such an effect! "But inside the array, everything seems to work normally." Liuli looked at her personal terminal in confusion and then at Zhang Taihao. "Okay, for the last test, let's see how the view of the outside world from inside the array works..."
