There were only three sheets of paper folded together inside, and not much content, so Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi finished reading them quickly.

The content of the third sheet was very similar to that of the second sheet, except that the person who was hurt was their mother.

The whole family is broken and filled with hurt.

Perhaps this ending was destined from the moment they got married.

The entire sheet of paper was crumpled up by Jiang Qi.

If a woman didn't marry a man like that, perhaps her life would be much happier. No, why must a woman get married? She can be happy without marriage.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and she and her daughter can never go back to the way things were.

Since we can't change the past, let's change the present.

Where Sun Yu found these things is unknown since he died.

The light disappeared, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness.

Lu Zhi put away his phone, and Jiang Qi put away the clues, quietly disappearing into the darkness.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, as if they were coming straight for them.

We've now reached the third floor. The footsteps aren't coming slowly from downstairs, but rather directly from the corridor.

Jiang Qi held his breath, trying to see the source of the footsteps through the darkness.

The clattering footsteps seemed to be right next to my ears.

With a click, the door opened.

It turned out that Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi were near a room at the end of the corridor, and the tension finally eased.

When the footsteps sounded, none of the motion-activated lights in the third-floor corridor turned on.

Now, only the room with the open door slowly lights up with warm yellow light.

Through the crack in the door, a strange man could be seen anxiously searching for something.

Jiang Qi looked up and found that the house number was 304.

They found a blank letter with a room number on it in the mailbox.

It seems that they found far more clues in this alternate dimension than other players, and were able to break through the impasse and leave the instance much faster.

I wonder if any players other than those two would have thought of the elevator.

Jiang Qi squinted, carefully observing the situation inside the door.

Fortunately, they carried the clues that had not yet been fully investigated with them.

When Lu Zhi took out the blank paper, words began to slowly appear on it.

Jiang Qi noticed that the stranger seemed to pause for a moment the instant the letter was taken out.

Then, the man slowly turned his head to look at them through the light shining through the crack in the door.

They've been discovered!

Without time to think, Jiang Qi knew they were about to face a chase.

Jiang Qi suddenly disappeared into the darkness, with Lu Zhi following closely behind.

A strange man poked his head out from under the door, following the direction Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi had fled.

They possess what they are searching for.

Lu Zhi had already read through the entire contents of the letter. Jiang Qi understood that keeping the letter on his person was like having a locator; they would be found no matter where they hid.

However, he didn't intend to simply run away. After all, they were going to explore the entire alternate dimension, and it was impossible for them to leave behind something that was dangerous to them.

Jiang Qi couldn't possibly stop to discuss things with Lu Zhi, and he also had to guard against any danger that might come at any moment, which would be too much of a loss for Jiang Qi.

So he came up with another fun idea.

Logically speaking, he and Lu Zhi would encounter a specific event or danger on each floor they reached.

For example, on this floor, danger and clues coexist.

If they hadn't taken out the letter, perhaps it wouldn't have attracted his attention.

However, they might miss a clue, and then the subsequent clues would inevitably be missed and wouldn't connect.

And on the upper floors, there must be other ghosts like the strange man.

It would be better to lure them together and see if we can make their ghosts fight each other.

If a fight doesn't break out, then Jiang Qi will have to add fuel to the fire.

The more chaotic the better, so that he can easily find clues.

Jiang Qi curled his lips slightly and silently, his smile cold and malicious.

In the darkness, his eyes gleamed with an unusual light—the excitement of hunting down his prey who was about to fall into his trap.
