Clearing the "Survivor" Instance
Two staff members slowly pushed open the Camp gate, revealing a dilapidated and gloomy foyer to all the players and viewers in the Livestream Room.
While Winniever and the others were still mentally preparing themselves, they saw the Huaguo man take the lead and step into the crowd without hesitation, which was particularly eye-catching.
After they all followed them inside, the other person had already disappeared into the complex passageway.
"Looks like we've encountered a daring friend," Briman remarked casually, concealing the curiosity in his eyes.
Saha crossed his arms, and it was unclear whether his assessment was genuine. "Just reckless."
Daisy chuckled softly, "Wrong. Reckless people wouldn't have survived this long."
Winniever seized the opportunity and said, "Regarding my cooperation proposal, are you all really not going to reconsider?"
Polina stepped inside, and as she passed Winniever, she casually tossed out, "You could try going to him; maybe he'd be willing to work with you."
Winniever immediately understood who the other person was referring to, and shrugged helplessly. "Fine, I'll take that as a sarcastic remark."
The remaining players gradually chose a direction and left.
Before leaving, Yurien whispered, "People can cooperate, but not everyone can."
Winniever paused for a moment, looking at the empty foyer where he was now alone, and couldn't help but smile.

Livestream Room.
In each split screen, players are observing the Camp environment and collecting clues, but there's only one split screen where the scene is quite different.
[Where is this Huaguo player going? (IP Maple Leaf Country)]
[Could it be Dungeon? (IP Garden Country)]
[That Rebel Army Leader sounds like a big boss, and you can tell from his toes that the Dungeon where he committed suicide is incredibly dangerous. Why is this Huaguo player in such a hurry? (IP: Rouguo)]
Unlike the other players who cautiously explored the open area, the young man on the screen seemed to be heading in a certain direction with a clear goal, his steps quick and steady.
The other party stopped inside a passageway.
It didn't stop on its own; rather, it was blocked by dozens of blue figures in front of it.
[Oh my god! What are these weird things?! (IP Coffee Country)]
[I already said the Dungeon is dangerous, this Huaguo player is in trouble (IP: Rouguo)]
[How can there be so many strange things? Is this normal? What are our players supposed to do? (IP Grease Country)]
[The Huaguo have ultimately paid the price for their arrogance (IP Beautiful Country)]
Everyone thought that this young Huaguo player's journey was over.
However, the next second, they heard the young man suddenly speak:
"I'd like to visit the Archives. Could you show me the way?"
??
They swore they saw utter bewilderment on that strange face.

Xu Xi originally intended to head straight to the Archives after entering, but he suddenly realized that he didn't know exactly where that special Blue Entity was at that moment.
Should we walk around shouting to lure the other person out?
He gave up on the idea in less than two seconds.
He decided to replicate the previous move and first go to the Dungeon to catch the other party.
Same location, same group of Blue Entity, same way of blocking the road.
Xu Xi looked at the Blue Entity at the front and asked, "I'd like to visit the Archives. Could you show me the way?"
Blue Entity paused noticeably, his dark eyes widening slightly.
Xu Xi immediately added, "I'll leave after the tour."
Blue Entity stared at him silently, as if assessing the intention behind the request.
Xu Xi waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, he saw the other person leap past him, turning his head slightly as if signaling him to follow.
Indeed, this rhetoric is quite effective.
He had wondered before why this Blue Entity treated him so differently, even offering to guide him in finding the Skull Symbol.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the other party's attitude became friendly after he said that he was just there to visit.
Visitors...?
Xu Xi recalled the background information provided by the slovenly man: this Camp had once been built as an exhibition hall, but was later abandoned for unknown reasons.
Hmm, that seems to make sense now.
*
Billions of viewers in the Livestream Room stared blankly at the split screen belonging to Huaguo.
On the screen, the young man strolled leisurely behind the Blue Entity, appearing remarkably composed.
[Two sentences and that's it... solved? (IP Kangaroo Country)]
They were all prepared to witness the defeat of this Huaguo player, but instead of being attacked, he was actually led the way by a strange entity!
[What's he doing in the Archives? Wasn't he going to the Dungeon? (ip Hans Country)]
Suddenly, some viewers in the live chat noticed this.
The young man was heading straight for the Dungeon, so why is he suddenly going to the Archives?
[I don't understand, not at all, I have a headache (IP Windmill Country)]
They really don't understand.
All of this Huaguo player's actions were completely inexplicable.
However, the other party's demeanor always exuded a sense of ease and confidence.
[Sorry Dana, since you're resting now, I'll check what that Huaguo player (IP: Maple Leaf Country) is up to.]
It has to be said that the vast majority of netizens were captivated by that composed figure.
The last time I encountered a move that I couldn't understand from beginning to end was...
Oh no, forgive them, they've never seen it before.
*
Xu Xi didn't think his actions were strange at all; he thought they were very logical and secretly gave himself a thumbs up for accidentally matching the identity of a tourist.
Upon arriving at the Archives, Blue Entity was hanging from the ceiling, as if to indicate that it had been brought.
Xu Xi pulled out the Victim Dossier, flipped through it casually, and came to the page that recorded information about the Blue Entity.
Then he took out the phone he had tricked from the wizard man from his pocket and started the live stream as instructed.
Yes, that's right, he decided to go big.
Since we don't know who to prove it to, how to prove it, or what the valid standard of proof is, let's just make a big fuss!
What could better fulfill all the elements required for "proof" than a live-streamed "truth reveal"?
The audience is a natural witness, and the real-time nature of the information ensures its immediacy and immutability, making it far more reliable than Production Team that can't even finish recording all the challenges.
Xu Xi knew that his method of clearing the Dungeon was actually a heretical cultivation practice, and there must be other more reasonable ways to do this.
But who can blame him for not being able to think of that?
He quickly set the title: [Shocking! The abandoned Fitali Camp Memorial Museum, once plagued by strange occurrences? The truth is...!]
Yes, very good, straightforward and eye-catching.
Whether the Camp was abandoned due to hauntings is irrelevant.
Xu Xi started the live stream with satisfaction.
This is actually his first time being a live Streamer. How should he start?
Before he could even think of what to say, a number of people had already entered the live Livestream Room, all of them die-hard fans of the "Wizard Man" account.
Why isn't it Weite?
Who are you? Where is Weite?
[Could Weite have been murdered? I told you these rituals were dangerous, and we'd all be doomed sooner or later, but he wouldn't believe me.]
Xu Xi cleared her throat lightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, time is of the essence, please hear me out."
He adjusted the camera angle, pointing it at the ceiling.
The Blue Entity ghost was clinging to him with its limbs, tilting its head to look at him.
Just as it cannot be seen from the monitoring room, it cannot be captured by this phone.
But that still doesn't matter.
"I am currently at Camp Fitali, a site on Tanersheng Island that was once converted into a memorial hall but was eventually abandoned."
"There is a historical truth here that has been deliberately buried."
"Xinli, 19 years old, is one of the victims of that massacre. Her file number is G-1179. She was initially identified as a 'Spy,' but this has been proven wrong by the victim herself. This live broadcast will clear her name."
Evidence? No.
Anyway, the victim insisted that he was innocent.
Xu Xi looked down at the sudden flash of white light beneath her feet and breathed a sigh of relief.
It really works.
Who says unorthodox cultivation is bad? Didn't he clear the level?
He's a true genius.
Suddenly, the door to the Archives was pushed open forcefully.
A disheveled man stormed in, followed by several staff members.
"Who gave you permission to bring your phone into the Camp without permission! And even livestream it! You...!"
Xu Xi casually stuffed her phone into her pocket, interrupting the other person's questioning.
"Could you please tell that wizard that I'm quite comfortable with his phone and won't be returning it to him for now? Thank you."
A split second before he disappeared, he waved to the crowd.
"In addition--"
Good luck to you.
