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

The little girl sat in the center, and the others sat in a circle around her.

"I'm going to start dropping the handkerchief now!" The little girl giggled and disappeared.

The other two little boys started singing, clapping their hands as they sang.

"Drop the handkerchief~ Drop the handkerchief~ Gently place it behind the child."

"Don't tell him, everyone!"

"Hurry, hurry, catch him! Hurry, hurry, catch him..."

While Feng Tianlan was still in a daze, he saw Zhang Rong winking at him from the opposite side.

Realizing what was happening, Feng Tianlan grabbed the handkerchief behind her and ran off to chase after the little girl.

Feng Tianlan wasn't slow, but he couldn't outrun the little girl.

He had only run two steps when he noticed the little girl had floated back to his original spot and sat down obediently.

"..." Feng Tianlan gritted his teeth. This is too much!

Zhang Rong covered her eyes, unable to bear to look.

The children started singing again, "Drop the handkerchief~ Drop the handkerchief~"

"Place it gently behind the child, and don't tell him."

"Hurry, hurry, catch him! Hurry, hurry, catch him!"

Feng Tianlan had just placed the handkerchief behind the little boy when it was grabbed by the little hand.

Feng Tianlan silently picked up the handkerchief, his inner turmoil escaping.

Can you guys even play this game?!

One uses teleportation! The other uses X-ray vision!

This is cheating! I'm reporting you!

Even knowing that the three kids were cheating, Feng Tianlan was stubborn and insisted on throwing them behind the children.

So much so that the ten-minute game was basically just the three kids messing with Feng Tianlan.

"Time is up."

As soon as Gu Junbo spoke, the three children looked at them with reluctance.

Despite my reluctance, I kept my promise and let them go.

As I was leaving, I heard the three children's innocent voices say, "Thank you, brothers, for playing games with us. Good luck!"

Another burst of laughter followed, and the three children completely disappeared.

Back in their room, only Feng Tianlan breathed a sigh of relief. "What's this? Will we run into them again tomorrow?"

Gu Junbo calmly stated the truth, "There is no solution. We can't touch them, and in fact, under the constraints of the rules, they can't touch us either."

Lu Tiannan and Xi Mingzhu, who were standing outside the door, immediately saw the three people who had returned to the room.

Xi Mingzhu was the first to enter room 304.

Feng Tianlan originally wanted to ask them if they were alright, but when he saw the teeth marks on Shen Yi's neck, he suddenly fell silent.

Then his gaze fell on Lu Tiannan, who was covered in blood, his black hoodie stained with blood.

Hmm... Shen Yi's white hoodie also had bloodstains, but it was obviously not from a splash; it was just smeared.

It has to be said that the stains on their clothes are quite symmetrical.

It seems he understood instantly without needing to worry too much.

Feng Tianlan was immediately overwhelmed with the emotion of discovering an incredible truth.

Before Gu Junbai could speak, Shen Yi coldly said, "We got the room key for the fourth floor. According to our guess—that room is either the exit or an absolutely safe room in a time-limited dungeon. Do you want to leave?"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood. The two people could have easily cleared the level, but they were still waiting for them here, showing great respect for the contract.

Gu Junbai didn't know what had happened during this time, but he was certain that each of the two of them had the ability to fight against the dungeon monsters on their own.

Lu Tiannan, who was standing in front of them, was not a person who respected contracts, so the one who could have prompted these two to wait for them here was Shen Yi.

Now that the impasse has been broken, he must use his talent to save Qi Rang. However, the method to break the impasse is in the hands of the other party, and there are too many variables for him to start over. He is unsure whether it is feasible, and he may not be able to bring everyone out of the instance.

Asking Lu Tiannan is unreliable; asking Shen Yi might be a better option...

Thinking this, Gu Junbo looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Shen Yi, can I have a chat with you alone for a few minutes?"

Xi Mingzhu lowered her eyes, but before she could answer, Lu Tiannan blocked her behind him.

"Can't we talk here?"

"There are some things that are inconvenient to say in front of so many people." Gu Junbo made it clear that he didn't want others to hear, and Zhang Rong and Feng Tianlan had no objections.

Lu Tiannan, however, looked unfriendly, as if he were about to have his position compromised.

"Are you going to confess your feelings? Why do you have to say it in private? What are you up to?"

Feng Tianlan muttered under his breath, "Damn, I feel like I've been watching a lot of drama in this instance." But Gu Ge isn't gay, so why would he confess? If anyone's going to confess, it should be Zhai Ge first.

Xi Mingzhu knew what Gu Junbai wanted to say to him. Gu Junbai did not intend to give up on the person who died on the other side, but this dungeon was mostly about finding a breakthrough by relying on Lu Tiannan. Gu Junbai's talent alone was not enough to guarantee the survival rate.

As mentioned in 0561, Gu Junbai's talent—【Reset Archive】—allows the game to save at a specific point within the instance and archive it before the instance ends. This can be used once per instance.

It's nothing more than cooperation; we'll use him to get through the dungeon with Lu Tiannan's help.

"Lu Tiannan, wait for me here."

Upon hearing Xi Mingzhu's words, Lu Tiannan squinted and looked down at him.

"Brother, you're too good at ordering me around. You want me to obey you even when you're having a secret rendezvous with someone?"

His tone subtly revealed a dangerous and menacing aura.

Why not do what's in your best interest?

Lu Tiannan smiled knowingly and stepped aside to make room for Lu Tiannan.

"Oh? I'm really looking forward to it. I hope you're not lying to me, brother."

Gu Junbo and Xi Mingzhu were talking on the stairs, which was quite far from room 304.

"Shen Yi, I need to use my talent to save my teammates. I hope you can help me. If you ever need anything in the future, Shence will help you unconditionally."

0561 thoughtfully explained from the side: "Host, Shence is the guild to which the main characters belong, and the guild leader is Gu Junbai."

Xi Mingzhu didn't ask any further questions, "How can I help?"

The unexpected ease of the situation startled Gu Junbo. "I can go back to the first day I entered the dungeon, but I need your cooperation. Even if I can guarantee that Qi Rang won't be bitten to death by the rats, I'm not familiar with the other monsters tonight, so I still can't guarantee that all my teammates will survive to the end."

Xi Mingzhu showed no surprise and said coldly, "You're overthinking it. The room cards you drew are safe. Tonight, each monster is a specific target: Lu Tiannan, me, and you, who all drew room cards. Adding Qi Rang won't affect the situation."

"Is that really the case?" Gu Junbai had also thought about this, but he didn't dare to gamble. The thought of betting his teammates' lives made him hesitant.

"If you're really worried, you can work with me to reset the time period. Just tell me the truth, and I'll trust you."

"..." Gu Junbai didn't think they could build such a strong sense of trust.

In the past, after the reset, even if you found a teammate to join a dungeon but didn't know your talents, you would be treated as a joke.

Even when Zhai Mingxu first learned of his talent, he was no exception.

"There's one more thing, remember to tell me—Lu Tiannan, who has been assimilated, will bite me."

Gu Junbai wasn't blind; he knew this bite was a real bite, but he didn't understand why Lu Tiannan wanted to bite Shen Yi.

And it bit so hard.

"Don't you need to tell me how to fight the monster?" Gu Junbai had unknowingly come to believe that Shen Yi would definitely cooperate with him, and even asked such a question.

"No need, just let nature take its course." Xi Mingzhu firmly believed that he would not be trapped in the illusion after the reset. He was originally a solitary person, and those illusions could not trap him.
