However, thanks to this generational rule, anyone in the earth building who is younger than them cannot refuse their questions, so they don't have to use too much rhetoric to get information.

But at the same time, it would be much more difficult for them to get information from people of higher seniority or from their peers.

Lian Wu asked, "Did you find any electrical appliances in the earthen building?"

Feng Ling shook his head, his brows full of confusion. "No, based on everyone's clothing and appearance when they entered the dungeon, this young man should have electrical appliances. I can't say anything else, but at least there should be lights. But there aren't any exposed wires or switches in the earthen building."

"Well, it seems that the room on the third floor is not an exception. Let's go to the second floor and take a look."

When he reached the stairs, Feng Ling caught a glimpse of something in the angle between the eaves and the wooden beams.

"Wait a moment."

Feng Ling jumped up, grabbed the beam with one hand, and saw the object closer.

It is a bell, hung there by a thin string. Looking forward from this angle, you can see that the thin string is circled along the shape of the earth building.

Feng Ling stretched out his hand to try to take it down, but he found that the entire string would vibrate slightly if he touched it even slightly. If he moved a little more, the bells in the entire circle would ring.

"It's a bell."

"The guide said that when Grandma wakes up from her nap, there's a bell. It seems that's what they're referring to."

The two talked as they walked and soon reached the second floor. At this time, Lian Wu asked a question.

"If there's only a circle of small bells on the third floor, can everyone in the entire building really hear it?"

"Maybe there are bells somewhere else. Let's go and see as we go."

"Ah."

It was not until they reached the door of Xie Ning's room that they remembered that Xie Ning was not in the room. No one responded when they knocked on the door.

The two looked at each other, both embarrassed and at a loss.

Feng Ling pretended to be busy and glanced at the barrage, but was blinded by the ridicule on the screen.

Feng Ling: ...

But the next second, Feng Ling took Lian Wu's hand and said, "It's okay. We are so in sync and can think alike. We are truly a match made in heaven."

The audience, who had been fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason, started to curse and complain, accusing Feng Ling of being an inhuman thing.

Feng Ling naturally didn't care. He was not a human being, so their words couldn't hurt him.

Lian Wu could also tell that Feng Ling was talking to the audience. Driven by curiosity, he wanted to take a look at the comments, but Feng Ling stopped him first.

"Don't look, they are saying bad things about me."

[??? You're still addicted to pretending, aren't you!?]

[How could he be so shameless? Even if he were to be fried in oil, his skin might not even fall off.]

[Damn, you're still framing us!]

[…Upstairs, he doesn’t seem to have made a false accusation.]

[Shut up! I said it myself, how could I not know it? You don't have to say it clearly!]

Lian Wu looked at his expression and knew that this guy was probably not angry. He was just taking the opportunity to coax her so as not to be stuck in the embarrassment just now.

Lian Wu found this trick quite useful, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, "Okay, I won't look at it."

Unable to enter the room on the second floor for the time being, they simply started looking for the bell on the second floor.

The fog had gradually dissipated at this time, and standing in the corridor of the earth building, one could clearly see other people.

A bald player opposite whom he had never seen before knocked on the door twice, but when he got no response, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Xiao Yan was satisfied that there was no one in the room, so he could sneak in to search for clues. Before entering, he noticed that there were two players opposite, one of whom had long hair and kept looking at him.

Xiao Wen thought that the other party wanted to take the clue for free, so he showed a fierce expression, wanting to warn the other party.

But he never thought that Lian Wu was just curious about what would happen if he broke the rules.

At this distance, even if he spoke to remind her, she wouldn't be able to hear him, and it would easily attract other members of the Tao family. Even if he gestured, she might not believe him, especially with the look on her face when she realized she saw him.

So Lian Wu chose to respect the fate of others.

Xiao Wen walked into the dim room. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was neatly arranged, and there was a white porcelain vase on the table with two red plum blossoms in it.

The candlestick next to the vase did not receive his attention. The candle on it was half used, and the wax dripped from the candlestick onto the table, leaving deep and shallow circular marks.

If you look closely, you will find that the wax has not yet completely solidified, and the owner of the room may have left not long ago.

But Xiao Wen's attention has always been on the various drawers. The owner of this room is probably a woman, and most of the drawers contain scissors and needles and thread.

Xiao Wen was so focused on looking for things that he didn't notice that a tall and thin old man was standing at the door.

The bell rang suddenly. Xiao Wen turned around in shock and saw the old man shaking the bell in his hand.

He wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late. The sound of the small bell could echo throughout the earthen building, and many members of the Tao family had rushed over from all directions.

When they saw Xiao Wen in the old man's room, they immediately understood what had happened. A group of people rushed up and wanted to tie him up and take him out to see the grandmother.

Although Xiao Wen was sometimes reckless, he also knew that the more he resisted at this moment, the worse the outcome would be. He was escorted out by two members of the Tao family, and as he left, he subconsciously looked across.

I found that there were five onlookers, and among them was Hua Meng, who was ranked sixth on the list.

Only then did he remember the six-member five-body group that had been very popular on the forum recently. The only long-haired boy in this group seemed to be called Lianwu.

It seemed that he had misunderstood the other party. Xiao Yan felt extremely regretful at this time, but it was of no avail.

After watching for a while, a few people followed him to the first floor.

It was only then that the players saw a large number of Tao family members gathered in the hall, and those they had met on the second floor were just a drop in the bucket.

The main seat in the middle was reserved for the great-grandmother, and the seats on both sides were reserved for her seven children. However, the great-grandmother's eldest son had died, so three people over sixty years old stood on each side.

On both sides, countless people were neatly arranged according to their seniority.

The players couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at the prosperity of this family.

After everyone gathered together, Xie Ning finally found the other five players who he had not seen at first.

They were standing at the end of the team, and if their expressions weren't out of place from the others, they wouldn't have been discovered so easily by Xie Ning.

It seems that because of her low generation, she did not have the opportunity to receive them with her great-grandmother at the beginning.

Xiao Wen knelt in the center, with Lian Wu and Feng Ling just on either side of him.

Soon, the grandmother came in with the support of Zhou Yixi and another girl.

As soon as they reached the stairs, Zhou Yixi was taken away by another woman from the Tao family.

As the grandmother walked forward, she didn't even glance at Xiao Wen who was kneeling on the ground.
