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

As soon as the door opened, Feng Tianlan retreated in terror.

Take another look at the house number, 206, that's right!

It can't be that he's still half asleep!

"You... Lu Tiannan, what are you doing in Brother Gu's room?" Feng Tianlan stammered, only managing to stand still after retreating to the wall.

Lu Tiannan sized up Feng Tianlan with unfriendly eyes, but remembering that this person was a healer, he didn't make a move.

His tone was icy as he spoke, "We've changed rooms. Find someone to go to 303."

With a bang, the door was closed.

Despite the commotion, Xi Mingzhu remained awake, so Lu Tiannan, who had gone back to sleep, confidently held her and continued sleeping.

Lu Tiannan himself didn't understand why he liked to sleep while holding the other person; he just felt safe and comfortable when he was holding the other person.

Feeling comfortable.

Feng Tianlan twitched her lips and took out her phone to frantically send messages to Gu Junbai.

"Ah! Brother Gu!! You've ruined me!!!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were changing rooms?! I almost died from Lu Tiannan's morning grumpiness."

The reaction was strong, and the level of anger was very high.

The only response I received was, "Forgot."

An angry expression appeared on Feng Tianlan's usually chubby face as she stormed upstairs to find someone in room 303.

As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Gu Junbo standing outside room 301 waiting for him.

Feng Tianlan suddenly stopped being angry. He hadn't forgotten the important matter, so he hesitated before speaking.

"Brother Gu... were you and Brother Qi alright last night?"

Qi Rang is dead.

"What?!" Feng Tianlan exclaimed in disbelief. Just one night?

Gu Junbo silently raised his hand and pointed to the room card reader, "Let's go inside and talk."

After Feng Tianlan swiped his room card, his teammate Zhang Rong immediately greeted Gu Junbo with a smile.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean by 'dead'? Wasn't Brother Qi with you? How could he..." Feng Tianlan spoke very quickly, conveying a great deal of information.

Zhang Rong, stunned by the shock, stood frozen in place, his smile vanishing instantly.

Gu Junbo calmly recounted what happened last night—

"The lantern drove away three different monsters corresponding to the three rooms three times. The monsters entered the rooms in order from upstairs to downstairs. The two people in room 303 first dealt with the woman who was knocking on the door, and then dodged the shadowy figure climbing up the glass. The shadowy figure was confined to the room, and they ran to the corridor and accidentally avoided the rat that entered the room through the bathroom pipe."

Feng Tianlan was speechless with surprise. No wonder they were so tired. They had survived unharmed last night under the protection of the lanterns, but the others hadn't been so lucky.

Facing three types of monsters head-on, the two players who originally lived in room 303 were no ordinary players.

"Qi Rang and I found a way to avoid the shadows and left the room. In the corridor, Lu Tiannan and his teammates approached us, saying they wanted to cooperate to kill them once and for all."

"After considering it, I agreed to their proposal. Lu Tiannan and his teammates were responsible for dealing with the shadowy figure. Qi Rang and I made a mistake while dealing with the rat..."

Zhang Rong opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself. A rat? What kind of rat could kill a person?!

Feng Tianlan's eyes were red and she was very angry.

"What about the mouse?"

Gu Junbai pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice, "Kill him. I'm sorry I couldn't protect Qi Rang."

Feng Tianlan's expression softened slightly upon hearing that the rat had been killed, and he let out a sigh of self-reproach upon hearing Gu Junbai's words.

"Brother Gu, this isn't your fault. This dungeon is just too difficult..."

“If Brother Zhang and I had seen this scene last night, Brother Gu, you would be the only survivor in our four-person team today.”

Feng Tianlan's words failed to ease the atmosphere, and silence fell.

Zhang Rong also knew that he couldn't blame anyone for this.

The moment he first entered this hellish place and witnessed an old woman and her young granddaughter die on the first floor, he understood—no one could be blamed for the deaths here.

The only thing to blame is that monstrous thing that dragged them into this dungeon game. Forcing everyone to gamble their lives on an uncertain seven-level clear is absurd and cruel.

After considering all aspects, Gu Junbo concluded that given the difficulty of the dungeon and their team composition, it wouldn't be easy for everyone to clear it.

Teaming up with those two guarantees a high level of combat effectiveness. Even if there are mistakes along the way, as long as you persevere to the end and clear the game, everything can be reversed.

"I'd like to cooperate with Lu Tiannan and his team. What do you think?"

Feng Tianlan froze, licked his teeth, and shook his head.

"I'll listen to you. I didn't have any particular ideas to begin with."

Zhang Rong quickly followed up with her statement, "I decided to follow Brother Gu before I came in, and we have no objection to your decision."

Gu Junbai led his teammates to the first floor, where the NPC receptionist was sitting there, exactly the same as yesterday.

Lu Tiannan was woken up by Xi Mingzhu at 8:42. Xi Mingzhu knew that he shouldn't have any expectations for this person's sleeping posture.

If it weren't for the excessive energy expenditure yesterday, Lu Tiannan wouldn't have had a third opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

An octopus that doesn't behave should be tied up and put to sleep.

Lu Tiannan rubbed his stomach in a daze, feeling a sudden, sharp pain from the other person's elbow.

"Brother, good morning."

0561 also popped its head out of the space. After a fierce battle last night, it returned to the space and stayed up all night watching a short movie. Now it is very excited.

Xi Mingzhu never had the habit of greeting people in the morning, but Lu Tiannan would greet him with a smile every morning, so it was impolite of him to ignore him.

So Xi Mingzhu decided to give a dry reply, "Good morning."

After a quick wash, the two found the food on the table and divided it equally. Lu Tiannan then took out his phone, and a message from Gu Junbai caught his eye.

"Continue to cooperate? As long as you put in the effort, I guarantee that everyone will get out alive in the end."

Lu Tiannan raised an eyebrow and sneered with interest.

That's too arrogant of him. Are you just making empty promises?

They're not afraid of choking people to death.

He's absolutely certain of surviving in time-limited survival dungeons; even he wouldn't dare say that much.

Lu Tiannan's changing expression puzzled Xi Mingzhu.

"?"

Lu Tiannan also noticed Shen Yi's gaze and spoke slowly and lazily.

"Brother, Gu Junbo wants to cooperate with us. Should we continue?"

Xi Mingzhu pondered, recalling the golden finger talent that 0561 mentioned, and how cooperating with Gu Junbai would guarantee someone's safety.

It's a good idea.

"can."

Lu Tiannan narrowed his eyes, propped his chin on his elbow on the table, and tilted his head to look at Shen Yi.

"Why do you trust Gu Junbo so much? I've known my brother longer. My brother's behavior puts me in a difficult position; it's hard not to be jealous."

"Jealous?"

In Xi Mingzhu's mind, their relationship was merely a temporary partnership, and there was no need to use more intimate terms like jealousy.

"I'm so jealous. I want my brother to try trusting me too~" The last syllable of her voice was teasing and had a playful undertone.

Xi Mingzhu glanced indifferently at Lu Tiannan's face, chewing on his bread as he asked, "You trust me?"

Lu Tiannan's smile deepened. "Brother's words really hurt me. Haven't I made it obvious enough?"

Do you expect sincerity in return for sincerity? That won't do.

He, Lu Tiannan, would never give away his true feelings.
