Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Lu Tiannan saw the broken Bodhi bead string left on the bedside table, picked it up and fiddled with it.

After a moment's thought, he took out an item he had obtained from a previous dungeon from his pocket: a golden rope.

It is a rope that can be detached and lengthened.

Lu Tiannan carefully strung the Bodhi seeds one by one onto the rope, very seriously.

Mission accomplished, now waiting for Shen Yi to come out and ask for praise.

Instead of praise, I received a perfunctory thank you.

Not satisfied.

It was 11:13 PM.

Lu Tiannan, wearing a black hoodie, lay on the bed with Xi Mingzhu.

Neither of them slept.

Everyone's waiting for the window-climbing monster to leave its black handprint today.

Lu Tiannan muttered irritably, "I'm about to fall asleep if they don't come soon."

Xi Mingzhu didn't think Lu Tiannan showed any signs of drowsiness; this man always carried an indelible air of laziness.

But it was definitely not the kind of drowsiness that makes you want to fall asleep.

Twelve o'clock.

All the lights in the room went out instantly.

A sinister black shadow climbed onto the window.

In a flash...

The shadows completely covered the windows, and darkness enveloped the room.

0561 emitted a sharp popping sound.

"Host!! I'm afraid of the dark! Help! Waaaaaah!!!"

Xi Mingzhu's ears hurt from the screams, so he told 0561 to go back to his space to rest.

After struggling with the decision, 0561, despite not being able to help, remained loyal and stayed.

And forcibly suppressing her fear, she curled up next to Xi Mingzhu.

Only Lu Tiannan and Xi Mingzhu remained in the room, shrouded in darkness.

Fortunately, both of them had excellent eyesight, so it wasn't pitch black.

"Ah...very punctual." Lu Tiannan looked at the dark figure moving on the glass window with interest.

Xi Mingzhu's attention was also drawn, and soon he heard 0561 stammer in terror, "Host... Host. Look at that black handprint..."

The black handprint is expanding, and the area where the shadow passed is being swallowed up.

Lu Tiannan noticed that Shen Yi was pulling him, and was initially a little surprised, wanting to tease her.

The result was that the dark shadow had expanded into a ring shape.

The playfulness in his eyes was completely replaced by seriousness.

A shadowy figure with the ability to devour, a supernatural entity without a physical form.

How to deal with it?

light source?

Thinking about it, I took out the flashlight I got from the previous dungeon, and the spread of darkness stopped.

The flashlight only stayed on for less than a minute before being extinguished by the shadow.

The prop malfunctioned and was directly destroyed.

The darkness expanded and grew wildly once again.

An atmosphere that most easily breeds fear.

"Eat...eat it." A hoarse murmur drifted in from outside the window, like the whisper of a demon.

So easily swallowed up... and merged into the darkness?

The question arose in Lu Tiannan's mind.

The answer came soon.

He would never do something so pathetic.

We might be able to kill it by breaking the window.

When Xi Mingzhu saw Lu Tiannan take out a flashlight, she realized that the thing she couldn't quite make out was afraid of light.

Using the Soul Fire can provide illumination, but it requires spending the entire night in the room, and his energy and spirit the next day are hard to guarantee.

So Xi Mingzhu looked at Lu Tiannan and reached out to grab Lu Tiannan's arm.

"go out?"

The warmth emanating from his sleeve calmed Lu Tiannan down.

In an instant, I understood—it was fire.

Light and warmth.

Strange, this person is so cold, how could they awaken such a talent? It's really incomprehensible.

But at this moment, it is thanks to this talent that my life can be saved.

Seeing the flame burning in Xi Mingzhu's palm, the flame flickered inside the room.

Sensing the threat, the shadow accelerated its spread, attempting to devour and grow stronger.

Lu Tiannan looked down at the arm that was being held, and slowly said in a low voice, "Brother, you're not planning to abandon me? This is a good opportunity."

It doesn't matter if the other person abandons him; at most, they've only spent two days together. Besides, he didn't even give his heart, so how could he expect the other person's sincerity?

Fake teammates, insincere concern.

Even the initial approach was driven by curiosity, sensing that Shen Yi was full of secrets.

Lu Tiannan didn't know why, but he just wanted Shen Yi to leave him, and he hoped that she was the same kind of person as him.

But the other party didn't. Shen Yi grabbed his arm, and the flames on his body spread to the soles of his feet, driving away the darkness.

A cold voice objectively stated his thoughts: "Abandoning you will not bring me any benefit."

Lu Tiannan also got off the bed and followed Shen Yi toward the door.

"Should I be glad I still have some use?"

"..." Xi Mingzhu wasn't acting out of kindness; he always remembered what 0561 had said.

According to the original plot, Lu Tiannan could have died on the seventh floor by his own actions, but he should never have died on the second floor alongside this character who had been resurrected.

Besides, to be fair, Lu Tiannan's performance was not bad.

At least he didn't do anything to harm him.

The fire beneath their feet burned fiercely, its light brightly enveloping the two in the room.

Lu Tiannan looked down and saw the fine sweat on Shen Yi's forehead. Using one's talent always comes at a price.

This is also why he doesn't use his talent unless it's a matter of life and death.

The person who was being saved and enveloped in light was experiencing something like this for the first time, and felt this way.

It seems not bad.

The moment Xi Mingzhu opened the door, she heard Lu Tiannan, whom she was pulling, ask in a puzzled voice, "Brother, aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of your weakness and kill you?"

Xi Mingzhu pulled the person out, let go, and immediately closed the door.

Standing in the corridor, the shadowy figure inside the room failed to follow.

It was indeed something that climbed up from outside the window; there were markings inside the room but not in the hallway.

I don’t know if anything else will appear in the corridor, but it’s better to face it head-on and fight than to be swallowed up by something unseen.

Lu Tiannan handed over a tissue, which Xi Mingzhu took to wipe his sweat.

"Why do something if there's no benefit to it?"

Lu Tiannan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.

"Brother, what if I just enjoy hurting others without benefiting myself?"

Xi Mingzhu knew that Lu Tiannan's fighting skills were not low, but he might not necessarily be completely defeated in a real fight.

Still calm and indifferent, she said, "You can give it a try."

"Ha... just kidding. But I hope I'll always be of use to my brother."

I really want to find out how many secrets this person hides beneath his cold exterior.

Room 206 was not plunged into darkness until 12:18.

The shadows on the window blocked out the light inside the room, and the sudden extinguishing of the lights startled the man with the buzz cut and Gu Junbai.

After quickly testing the waters and realizing that the creature was photophobic, the two took action.

Fortunately, he had plenty of supplies, including a tinderbox, matchbox, and lighter.

One is extinguished, then the other is quickly ignited, engaging in a war of attrition.

The stalemate continued until 2 a.m., when a squeaking sound came from inside the room.

The man with the buzz cut froze, barely concealing his panic. "Brother Gu, what's that noise...?"

Gu Junbai was puzzled as to why the thing that was knocking on the door hadn't come; instead, a dark figure had arrived first.

During the use of the prop, a guess suddenly occurred to him.

These things first went to 303, so how did 303 manage to escape or even kill one of the monsters?

Since the shadowy figure has come knocking, there must be a way to escape.

We shouldn't be dragging things out and wasting time.
