Xiao Yi wanted to know what happened next, but there was nothing next.

 He pocketed the note and began his search again.

 Nothing of value was found afterwards.

 Xiao Yi and Lin Lingniao searched the entire second floor together, but apart from finding some bloodstains, they found no other information.

 The presence of blood means someone was killed, but if we don’t know how the person died, it cannot be considered valuable intelligence.

 Xiao Yi and Lin Lingniao went downstairs.

 After a while, the others also finished their search one after another and gathered in the hall.

 "What information did you find?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "There's a big guy imprisoned in the basement. He's very powerful. The force with which he pounded on the door was enough to shake the entire corridor. His strength is probably stronger than that of an elephant. If he rushes out, I'm afraid no one can defeat him." Wang Renming said.

 He played with his gray baseball cap, twirling it around his fingertips, but his face didn't show much fear.

 "I found this in the kitchen."

 Bai Yanjing took out something.

 It was a briefcase, the kind office workers use to carry documents.

 Xiao Yi looked at the briefcase for a few times, but didn't find anything special about it. The briefcase was black and square, just like the briefcase that office workers used to carry documents.

 "This looks like a briefcase. What's so special about it?" Zhou Wanwan asked.

 "This is not an ordinary briefcase. Just now, this thing can kill people. It opened the bag and put the person's head inside in an instant. Zhao Shaofu was almost killed." Bai Yanjing said.

 "It's so fierce."

 When Zhou Wanwan looked at the briefcase, she was immediately filled with fear and involuntarily moved closer to Wang Renming.

 Zhao Shaofu saw Zhou Wanwan's expression and said, "Bai Yanjing slashed the briefcase with his sword. The special properties inside have disappeared. Now it's just an ordinary briefcase. You don't have to be afraid."

 "Well, thank you."

 Zhou Wanwan thanked him and the fear on her face lessened a lot.

 Bai Yanjing continued, "I think this thing corresponds to Rule 3 and Rule 5. It's something that will harm us and needs to be thrown into the trash."

 After hearing what Bai Yanjing said, everyone remembered the rules.

 Rule 3: The house will no longer be safe after midnight. The only safe place is your room. Each room can only shelter one person. You need to sleep in bed. Ignore any abnormalities. As long as you ignore them, they cannot hurt you.

 Rule 5: Except for humans, the words of all living creatures cannot be trusted. Don’t believe them. If you find a creature that is not a human, please throw it into the trash can.

 Both of these rules indicate that something harmful is in the house.

 Xiao Yi said: "I also found some things on the second floor."

 He recounted what happened on the second floor and showed everyone the fragment of the note.

 There were actually blood words appearing, saying don’t believe in the rules.

 When everyone heard what Xiao Yi said, surprise appeared on their faces.

 "Who should we believe, the blood words or the rules?"

 Zhao Shaofu asked everyone, her face full of anxiety and she was undecided.

 "Need I say more? Of course I believe in the rules. A briefcase that can kill people and a teddy bear arm that wants to kill people, these two things are not good things. Only a mentally ill person would believe in these things." Wang Ren Ming said.

 "I also believe that we should trust the rules. The rules say that the person in the basement has a strong tendency to kill, so we shouldn't let him out. Wang Renming has proven this to be correct. The thing in the basement is a monster with immense power. If we let it out, no one will be happy.

 The briefcase and the teddy bear's arm are clearly ghostly, and they appear hostile. They are untrustworthy."

 Luhei agreed with what Wang Renming said.

 At this time, Zhou Hongzhuan said: "The diary mentioned that someone died. How did she die? Doesn't it say that as long as you follow the rules, you won't die?"

 There was uneasiness on his face.

 He just asked other people, and the senior one said that as long as you follow the rules, you won't die, but the diary shows that someone died the next day.

 They were now on the first day of moving into the house, and the second day would arrive soon.

 "I probably broke the rules without realizing it. There are teddy bears and briefcases here. The danger must be from ghosts. These things are very good at playing tricks, using illusions, and surprising people. I guess they killed me.

 Judging from the current situation

 The ghosts aren't very strong. After twelve o'clock, just remember the rules and be careful, and you should be fine."

 Wang Renming looked natural, without a trace of fear on his face, and he didn't care about what was said in the diary.

 He has seen many dead people. Even with the protection of rules, some people will still die.

 If following the rules would ensure absolute safety, then why would he pursue power?

 He paused and said, "I'm actually very interested in the third floor. The rules say it doesn't exist and we shouldn't go there, but the bloody words say there's something there. I have a feeling there might be a big secret there, so we can go explore it."

 "You believe in rules, don't do anything that goes against the rules."

 Zhou Hongzhuan looked uneasy and interrupted Wang Renming.

 "I didn't say I wanted to break the rules." Wang Renming said.

 When Zhou Hongzhuan heard Wang Renming's words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

 Wang Renming continued, "We can let the newcomers go to the third floor. Perhaps we'll get some unexpected rewards."

 After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yi, Lin Lingniao, Lu Hei, and Bai Yanjing.

 These people are powerful people, and only they can have an equal dialogue with him. If these people agree with him, the matter will be settled.

 The bullying of newcomers has indeed begun. I knew this would happen.

 Zhou Hongzhuan's face suddenly turned gloomy. He just wanted to stop Wang Renming from proposing the plan of sending the newcomer to his death, but this plan was still proposed.

 "Everyone is new here, which is not good."

 "What's wrong with that? Newcomers have no strength and no experience. They are just expendable. If they die, they die. We are not related to each other, so there is no need to feel sorry. But if they are not dead, they may bring extremely valuable information. This is a profitable business. It is a matter of life and death. It is better for others to die than yourself." Wang Ren Mingdao.

 Lu Hei and Wang Renming looked at each other, neither giving in.

 Bai Yanjing looked at the two of them and said, "Let's vote. The minority obeys the majority, and the weak obeys the strong."

 Volume 1: Chapter 79: Meat

 "Human lives cannot be used for voting." Lu Gangdao.

 "Being too merciful is not a good thing. This is the most reasonable solution to the conflict at the moment." Bai Yanjing said.

 Lu Hei looked at Bai Yanjing, the man with white glasses, who was determined and had no intention of compromising.

 So Lu Hei Dao said: "Okay, then let's vote."

 After that, he said, "I vote against it. I'm against using newcomers as cannon fodder."

 Wang Ren Ming said: "I agree to select new people to explore the third floor."

 One person is against and one person is in favor, it's a draw.

 Bai Yanjing looked at Xiao Yi and Lin Lingniao.

 Xiao Yi said, "I abstain."

 Lin Lingniao said weakly, "I also give up."

 Bai Yanjing was the only one left on the field, and everyone looked at Bai Yanjing.

 "I'm against letting newcomers go to the third floor."

 Bai Yanjing voted against it.

 With two votes against and one vote in favor, the opponents hold the majority.

 Seeing this result, the three newcomers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

 Wang Renming looked at Xiao Yi and Lin Lingniao and said, "Why did you give up? It would be better to let Zhou Hongzhuan take the risk for us."

 Xiao Yi said, "I feel like it doesn't matter whether we do this or not. With the newcomer's limited strength, he'll probably die if he goes up there, and the chances of him bringing back any intelligence are slim."

 Lin Lingniao said, "I feel both sides have their reasons, so I abstained."

 "Okay, then don't do it. Let's go eat and go to bed after dinner. We've been working on this for so long, I'm hungry."

 Wang Renming looked depressed when he saw that he had no support. He stood up, turned around and left.

 Seeing that the matter was over, Xiao Yi stood up and walked towards the refrigerator. He also felt a little hungry.

 When Lin Lingniao saw Xiao Yi leaving, she left too.

 Zhou Hongzhuan, who was standing behind him, lowered his head, his face full of anger, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

 Just now, Wang Renming specifically asked him to go to the third floor, which clearly meant he wanted him to die.

 I need strength.

 He calmed down his emotions, looked up at Bai Yanjing, and asked, "Brother Bai, how did you get that ability to kill ghosts with one sword?"

 Bai Yanjing looked up at Zhou Hongzhuan with a half-smile on his face.

 "Brother Bai, just tell me. I know you're a good person. I promise that I'll always follow your lead. If you say east, I won't go west."

 Zhou Hongzhuan looked serious and made a solemn vow.

 "Everyone has different ways of gaining power. I saw a secret teaching and gained power from it. Lu Hei saw flames burning a building and gained power from the flames."

 After Bai Yanjing finished speaking, he opened his five fingers, and suddenly, a circle of pure white ring emerged from his palm, with pure white energy like light flowing inside. He concentrated his will, and the pure white light circle stretched out into a secret passage, which he presented in front of Zhou Hongzhuan.

 Zhou Hongzhuan opened his eyes wide and stared intently at the pure white text, but he could not understand anything from it.

 What? Suddenly, an anxious look appeared on his face.

 Upon seeing this, Bai Yanjing clasped his five fingers together and put away the secret message.

 "No, I haven't finished reading it yet." Zhou Hongzhuan said.

 "It's useless even if you read it. There's no illusion before your eyes, so it's useless."

 "What is an illusion? Why does it have to appear?"

 Zhou Hongzhuan looked anxious.

 "For newcomers, seeing the illusion is a necessary condition for gaining power. Newcomers must sense their own souls in the illusion. Only when the souls are awakened can they use the secret teachings. Without the soul, people are just mortals and cannot use power.

 You see, my secret teachings didn't produce any illusions, which means they're not suitable for you. It's useless to read them. You can ask other people."

 After Bai Yanjing finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Hongzhuan. He looked at the ceiling, thinking about what to do next.

 Zhou Hongzhuan turned his gaze towards Luhei.

 Luhei didn't waste any words. He opened his hand, and suddenly, a circle of fire appeared in his palm. The flames formed words and opened like an article.

 Zhou Hongzhuan stared at the flaming words in front of him. He could understand the words, but he did not see any illusion at all.

 Put away the secret message of Lu Hei Ba.

 Zhou Hongzhuan's face was full of frustration.

 The power was right before his eyes, but he couldn't get it.

 Lu Hei patted Zhou Hongzhuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. I can't tell anything from Bai Yanjing's secret teachings. There are many kinds of power in this world. The same power is not suitable for everyone. You will definitely find the power that suits you in the future."

 "How to find it?" Zhou Hongzhuan asked.

 "It's very simple. Every strange place has power. Just come into contact with that power. Some powers are ownerless. They are like flames scattered throughout the world. Whoever finds them owns them. If you're lucky, you can awaken your spirit once you come into contact with them."

 "What is the form of ownerless power? Is it like flame?" Zhou Hongzhuan asked.

 "It doesn't have to be flames; it can take many forms. My power is flame, while Bai Yanjing's is a beam of light. He gained power by gazing at the sun. I've heard that some people gain power just by eating at a fast food restaurant. In this strange world, there are many ways to gain power."

 The path to power.

 Zhou Hongzhuan lowered his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

 At this moment, a serious look emerged on Lu Hei's face. He said, "Although there are many ways to gain power, the power of this strange world is like fire. It is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be burned and become part of the monster. You don't have the power of the Yuan Shen, and you are as fragile as a paper man. You will be ignited at the slightest touch. If you are lucky, you can directly awaken your Yuan Shen. If you are unlucky, you will become a monster. You must be cautious."

 This is Xiao Yi's side.

 Xiao Yi and his group came to the refrigerator.

 It was a huge refrigerator, almost reaching the top of the hall and also very wide.

 But everyone's eyes were not on the refrigerator, but on the wall next to it.
