When Qiqi opened the door, Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi noticed that she was not in a wheelchair at this time.

She's doing just fine now, as lively and energetic as any other child.

After observing the entire room, Jiang Qi lowered his head and pondered why Qi Qi was in a wheelchair. If they could find out the reason, they would surely be able to clear the dungeon even further.

Just then, the woman's busy figure disappeared from the kitchen, and she placed two bowls of fragrant dishes on the table.

Jiang Qi got up to help, but the woman quickly pressed down on his shoulder.

The hand pressing on Jiang Qi's shoulder was icy cold. Although the woman still had a gentle smile on her face, her tone left no room for refusal.

"Please sit still, guests. You don't need any help with this small matter."

The warm light overhead made the woman's face appear even paler and slightly distorted.

It was as if she would kill Jiang Qi if he didn't listen to her.

Jiang Qi had no choice but to agree. The woman was very satisfied and quickly moved back to the kitchen.

Lu Zhi's gaze unconsciously lingered on the woman's back.

The woman's back was twisted like a black hole, and her hair had become transparent as it clung to her back.

So that's how it is; this woman wasn't their real mother after all.

These are just illusions created by the two little girls; they just don't know where their real mother is now.

Lu Zhi quietly told Jiang Qi what he had seen and what he thought, and Jiang Qi frowned upon hearing this.

He also saw the woman's back when she turned around, but unlike what Lu Zhi saw, he saw a normal human figure.

Seeing is not always believing, and this can deceive ordinary players.

Unfortunately, Jiang Qi has Lu Zhi, who is no ordinary player.

The monster could see much more and much deeper than he, a human. If it weren't for Lu Zhi, it would probably have taken him much longer to figure these things out.

Jiang Qi can now vaguely glean the whole story and what their wishes are.

The woman they were tasked with rescuing during the mission was this one, but unfortunately, the woman they were referring to wasn't the real one.

Knowing they couldn't help their mother, the two little girls tidied themselves up, ran to wash their hands, and then returned to the table.

Qiqi flashed that innocent smile again and sweetly handed her painting to Jiang Qi.

"Big brother, I drew a picture for you, I'm sure you'll like it!"

Jiang Qi took the drawing paper, wondering what the painting would depict.

While observing the two sisters, Lu Zhi had already noticed Qi Qi's little actions and naturally guessed what the painting would be about.

Children's drawings are inevitably immature. At the very bottom of the drawing paper, a very simple stick figure was drawn, with his surname, Jiang, written on his head with a horizontal and a vertical line.

The background is all red and black, which inevitably makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

The entire area was covered with roses, each one painted so realistically.

Behind the stick figure of Jiang Qi stands Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi is not drawn in human form; his entire body is covered in black, making it almost impossible to tell whether it is Lu Zhi or the background.

Many tentacles emerged from beneath him, one of which was covered with eyes, and each tentacle was decorated with red markings, like bleeding scars.

A red moon hangs at the very top left, and Jiang Qi doesn't quite understand why Qi Qi drew it this way.

However, he also learned about Lu Zhi's true form from this, realizing that he was this type of monster.

Seeing that Jiang Qi didn't show any fear on his face, Qi Qi pouted and her interest immediately waned.

Seeing this, Qiqi comforted her older sister. Soon, Qiqi's attention was diverted, and they started giggling again, probably thinking of something fun.

The moment Lu Zhi saw the painting, his pupils contracted, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions so that Jiang Qi would not notice anything amiss.

Lu Zhi didn't know what Jiang Qi was thinking, but he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Lu Zhi knew Jiang Qi very well. He knew that Jiang Qi wouldn't be afraid of his true form, but he was afraid that Jiang Qi would realize something.

Jiang Qi carefully folded the drawing paper and put it into his pocket.

Another thing that Jiang Qi found strange was that he felt the scene in the painting was very familiar.

However, he could not find such a scene in his memory, and he had no idea why he felt this familiarity.

Just as Jiang Qi was about to ask Lu Zhi a question, the woman had already brought out all the food.

She filled everyone's bowl with rice and placed it in front of them before sitting down.

"Alright, dinner's ready!! Please enjoy your meal, both of you. There's nothing fancy, just some simple dishes."

Throughout the entire process, the woman's husband never appeared.

The clock in the room had already struck 9:30, and Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi nodded and began to eat.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of five people eating, creating an extremely warm and cozy atmosphere.

The two sisters were the happiest at the table, their mouths covered in oil.

There were no problems with the meal this time, so Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi ate without worry.

Occasionally, Qiqi would deliberately place her chopsticks next to Lu Zhi's as they picked up food, and the two of them would fight over that piece of meat.

In the end, the woman chose another type of meat and put it in Qiqi's bowl before Qiqi let go.

During this time, the woman gently reminded Qiqi to be more polite, and soon all the dishes on the table were gone.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi wanted to stay and help, but the woman refused.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi returned to the front of door 205. The door could no longer be opened, and the lights inside were off.

As soon as Jiang Qi turned his head, he saw Cheng Cuo leaning against the wall at the top of the stairs with his arms crossed. When Cheng Cuo saw that the two of them had noticed him, he spoke up.

"How about we exchange clues? I've also found some important clues about the dungeon."

Jiang Qi didn't say anything, and pulled Lu Zhi away from Cheng Cuo and left the second floor.

Cheng Cuo wasn't angry; he had long anticipated this outcome.

However, he was also very curious to know what clues Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi had found in room 205.

At ten o'clock, a sudden system announcement interrupted all players' actions.

Players outside the live stream also saw white static appear on their screens, and they all thought there was some glitch in the Nightmare game, so they were all complaining.

Before long, the screen returned to normal.

All players heard the mechanical system voice, but this time it wasn't the female voice as before, but a male voice.

[Ding-dong, the new system update is complete. I am System 001, and I will now be at your service.]

The players outside the live stream fell silent upon hearing this announcement. Some were bewildered, but most sensed something unusual about it.

Inside the [Twins] instance, Jiang Qi was taken aback when he heard the announcement. Had Nightmare Games become so advanced that they were even doing system updates?

It seems that clearing dungeons will be even more difficult in the future, but it doesn't matter, Jiang Qi has never been afraid of these things.

After the system update notification, the death announcements for players inside the instance also began.

[System announcement: Players Xiao Ning and Lin Ming are completely dead. Their bodies have been cleaned up, and their souls have been fully recovered. Good luck to the remaining players.]
