Jiang Qi raised his eyes and gazed calmly at Lu Zhi, while Lu Zhi looked into his eyes as well.

They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity before Lu Zhi finally looked away with difficulty, barely managing to conceal the complex emotions and restrained love in his eyes.

Jiang Qi didn't miss the emotions in Lu Zhi's eyes either, but he didn't break the delicate balance that belonged only to them.

Both of them tacitly agreed that their priority was to leave the instance.

For the rest of the time, no one mentioned that heart-warming hug again.

Some players have also begun to grasp some clues about this dungeon through scene recreation, but they don't know as much as Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi do.

The scene wasn't recreated for very long today, so several players returned empty-handed.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi would occasionally pass by one or two dejected players, but they didn't have time to tell them any clues.

After all, you have to rely on yourself to get through the dungeon. Even if you can find a strong support for a while, who can save you when you have to clear the dungeon on your own later?

After the scene reenactment ended, all the players gathered back at the starting point. They looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

Fortunately, Cheng Cuo was a well-known and skilled player. As soon as he spoke, all the players' eyes were on him.

Including Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi, Jiang Qi was well aware of Cheng Cuo's terrifying strength in reaching the top of the newcomer list, so if he could get some information from him that he didn't know, it would be of great help to him.

Cheng Cuo coughed first to attract the players' attention before speaking.

"Everyone, it's already the second day of the dungeon. I can only give you one piece of advice: I believe the windows in your rooms are all sealed up."

Cheng Cuo seemed a little unaccustomed to speaking so much at once, so he paused, cleared his throat, and waited for the player's response.

He only began to speak again after seeing that all the players nodded without exception.

"I advise you not to try to pry open the windows, or you'll end up like that woman, Xiao Ning."

"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's go back to our rooms."

After saying that, Cheng Cuo left without caring whether they cared or not.

Before leaving, Cheng Cuo glanced at Jiang Qi with a subtle look in his eyes.

Cheng Cuo was an extreme egoist who never cared about the lives of others. This advice was only to encourage them to test other conditions of death.

Lu Zhi was not unaware of Cheng Cuo's gaze; his eyes narrowed and he became wary.

Jiang Qi noticed Cheng Cuo's gaze and Lu Zhi's actions, but pretended not to see anything, patted Lu Zhi on the shoulder, and left on his own.

Jiang Qi left, and Lu Zhi followed him eagerly. Soon they returned to their room.

Looking at the time again, it was already 11:30. I knew I couldn't leave the room in half an hour.

The old-fashioned clock in the room ticked away.

Even in a quiet space, the ticking sound creates an unusual sense of tension.

Jiang Qi still didn't voice the question he wanted to ask. Perhaps he would understand everything in the future, so there was no need to rush.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi did nothing but quietly wait for midnight to arrive.

They knew the two sisters would come looking for them; it was only a matter of time.

Tick-tock—time quickly reached twelve o'clock.

The lights in the room went out, plunging the entire residential building into darkness.

In the pitch-black darkness, something seemed to be lurking in the shadows, watching intently.

A faint nursery rhyme drifted from outside the room, and then there was a knock on the door of room 404.

A childish voice called from outside the door, "Brother, let's play hide-and-seek together!"
