The "Survivor" Was Probably Already Dead

Inside the Dungeon.

The ground was a mixture of uneven, hard soil and broken flagstones, with dark, unrecognizable grime accumulating in the cracks.

Most of the gates were open, with the iron chains hanging limply to the ground.

The silence was amplified here; Xu Xi could even clearly hear her own breathing.

But these are not the main points.

The key question is, where are the clues?

He looked at the abandoned prison again, somewhat bewildered.

Still nothing.

That shouldn't be the case.

How could a place so heavily guarded by those Blue Entity be completely devoid of clues?

Xu Xi, unwilling to give up, began to wander around the Dungeon.

About ten minutes later, he finally found something unusual in one of the cells.

"A hidden Underground Passage...?"

Xu Xi stared thoughtfully at the seemingly smooth stone slab.

Regardless of how this passage came about, he certainly didn't believe it was a hidden passage for escape.

How can one escape from a secluded island surrounded by the sea? By escaping into the ocean?

It is worth noting that he felt a familiar chill around the stone slab.

A suspicion suddenly formed in his mind.

Just as Xu Xi was about to lift the stone slab to go down and verify her idea, the Blue Entity that had disappeared reappeared.

There's only one this time.

The other party stood in front of the stone slab, clearly refusing Xu Xi's approach.

Seeing this, Xu Xi understood that this was the extent of the visit.

Okay.

Under the watchful eye of the Blue Entity, Xu Xi left the Dungeon and returned the way she came.

The Huaguo Production Team, along with all the viewers worldwide watching the God Hunt Livestream Room, were convinced that a crucial clue, vital to the entire Dungeon, must be hidden beneath that stone slab.

Huaguo netizens were quite disappointed that the young man couldn't get in, while netizens from other participating countries were relieved and hoped that their own contestants could find the place and get clues as soon as possible.

Inside the monitoring room.

The disheveled man stared intently at the screen until the figure of the East Asia youth on the screen finally returned to the room and closed the door. Only then did his tense shoulders relax almost imperceptibly, and he slowly released his fingers, which had been hovering over the Camp's broadcast button.

He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his face vigorously.

The slovenly man never expected that one of the contestants would have such a strong desire for adventure.

Instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, they were just wandering around the Camp.

If the other person lingers for a few more minutes, he will be unable to resist making them go back to rest via the public address system.

Several staff members on duty nearby whispered among themselves.

"Hey, did he just say something to thin air?"

"It seems so, as if there's something in front of him."

The slovenly man frowned slightly upon hearing this, but relaxed his expression after a moment.

Perhaps that East Asia youth can bring him a different kind of attention?

Xu Xi randomly chose a single room that looked barely acceptable.

He didn't care whether the bed was dirty or not; he closed his eyes and lay down on it.

Anyway, I've already slept on the stone steps in the space, so why care about this or that? I'm just glad I have something to sleep on, not to mention that the sheets have already been changed by the staff in the Dungeon.

In fact, Xu Xi was also feeling somewhat mentally exhausted at this moment.

His physical functions could be maintained at their peak in the space, but not in the Dungeon.

After exploring the Camp for more than half an hour, I was really quite tired.

Just as he was about to take a short nap, he suddenly remembered something.

The Mixed-Team Competition... I bet a lot of people will watch it, right?

Hiss--

Xu Xi had been drowsy, suddenly woke up.

How many people will watch? Will any foreigners watch him? He shouldn't have done anything outrageous, right?

After thinking it over carefully for a while, Xu Xi felt relieved and went back to sleep.

I almost forgot, everything has Rollback, so no one will remember what he did.

In the past, he might have been more concerned about his appearance.

Now? Rollback.

Little did he know that his nonchalant attitude of lying down and falling asleep whenever he wanted, without any fear of being ambushed, once again sparked a heated discussion in the Livestream Room.

Especially after the stark contrast with the other ten players.

Most netizens who don't know much about this Huaguo player are confused: how can he be so careless?

First floor lobby.

Ten players gathered around the dining table.

"One person is missing." Daisy leaned back in her chair, twirling her fingers through her red curly hair, and casually remarked after glancing around at everyone.

Briman, with his brown hair and blue eyes, glanced at the empty seat and said in an ambiguous tone, "That player who seems to be from Huaguo? Maybe he didn't sleep well last night and overslept."

Saha, whose darkest skin was the most noticeable, curled his lip.

Who would actually sleep in Dungeon, let alone take a nap? Only someone fearless would dare to do that.

He's probably already dead.

He asked directly, "Who was the last person to see him last night? Do you know which room he stayed in?"

The group exchanged glances, making the already tense atmosphere even more stagnant.

Winniever's eyes flickered slightly.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was probably the last person to see the other person last night.

After seeing the short-haired woman being attacked, the young man turned and left, disappearing without a trace.

But he didn't speak; he just listened quietly.

Polina slowly wiped her dagger, not looking up, and simply said, "I didn't hear anything unusual last night."

The implication is that there wasn't even a struggle or scream before death, which is unusual.

In fact, she suspected that the Huaguo player had encountered the same attack, but the other party hadn't made a sound, which was really strange.

Dana lowered her head and silently chewed the bread in her hand.

Her thoughts were similar to Polina's.

Just then, the sound of unhurried footsteps came from around the corner.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The rhythm was steady, even a bit loose.

Everyone stopped instantly, their eyes all turning towards the corner, some even preparing for a fight.

The footsteps drew closer, and a tall figure emerged unhurriedly from the shadows.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of sneakers with a little dust on them, then long blue wide-leg pants, and finally the young man's expressionless face, which even carries a hint of morning languor.

As he walked downstairs, he casually raised his hand to smooth his slightly long bangs back, revealing his smooth forehead.

Xu Xi hadn't expected to sleep so comfortably; when he woke up, he realized he seemed to have overslept.

However, he hadn't heard the Production Team's announcement start yet, so he hadn't overslept.

But when he arrived at the front hall to have breakfast, he looked up and met ten pairs of different eyes, and his steps immediately faltered.

"..." Xu Xi's gaze swept over the only empty chair.

Okay, he's the last one.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xi nodded to everyone. "Good morning."

Then, under the silent gaze of everyone, he walked straight to an empty seat and sat down.
