Xu Xi was thinking of telling the Tattooed Man that she wasn't good at direct combat, but could assist from the sidelines, hoping that the other man could hold off the first fight.

Before he could even speak, the person beside him rushed forward without saying a word.

He didn't know the Tattooed Man was testing him, and after a moment of hesitation, he quickly pulled out a fruit knife to help.

The Tattooed Man stabbed the Blonde Woman decisively as he subdued her.

Xu Xi admitted that he did have some personal motives behind that strike.

Itanu, who overestimated his role, admitted that he did feel awkward for a second.

I thought he was going to take care of the Blonde Woman, but it turns out he was just used as a shield to hold her back.

On the other end.

"Manya's " already mangled body now lay sprawled on the ground, her head almost completely separated from her torso, with only a few strands of flesh barely connecting them.

Yansheng stood to the side, expressionless, and flicked the blood off his hands.

Flight Attendant Percy was trembling behind him.

At the same time, the turbulence gradually stopped, and the cabin returned to calm, but also became more fragmented.

The incident happened very suddenly, but fortunately, there was no serious harm.

But... no one showed any sign of relaxation.

Both the announcement and the duration of the final turbulence were much faster than in the previous cycle.

The time left for them is rapidly dwindling, and at this rate, it's uncertain whether there will be another cycle.

Not to mention, at such a critical juncture, they even lost another teammate.

Itanu frowned.

He suddenly realized that their previous assumptions seemed to be wrong.

Time did not stop at the moment before the crash.

Or rather, with each cycle, the plane is irreversibly and gradually falling.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the figure beside him.

He suddenly remembered that the black-haired youth had never responded to their opinions and speculations.

Even if they misunderstood each other's hints.

Xu Xi never imagined that her simple opening remarks would be interpreted in several different ways by outsiders and her teammates.

He looked at the lifeless Blonde Woman on the ground and silently apologized in his heart.

After seeing those translucent, Ghostly Shadows heading towards the first-class cabin, he felt that the other party was probably in grave danger.

Although the Blonde Woman had long since lost her mind, this was still the first time he had truly killed someone.

Perhaps because so many people have died, he felt nothing beyond a sense of apology.

There wasn't even a hint of remorse; after all, the other person had stabbed him to death once, so it was only fair that he stabbed them back, wasn't it?

"What... what's going on?!"

Hearing Percy's tearful voice, Xu Xi and Itanu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the Flight Attendant looked like she was about to collapse.

"As you can see from the current state of the aircraft," Yansheng said, standing to the side as if he were an ordinary passenger. "Ma'am, didn't your emergency drills include a contingency plan for this kind of situation?"

Percy's sobs paused for a moment.

Her expression made it clear.

Are you kidding me? What company would prepare a contingency plan for this kind of situation?

Yansheng ignored him and continued to press, "Madam, for everyone's safety, please think carefully about whether there's a way to resolve our current dangerous situation, even if it's only remotely related. We're willing to try anything that can be of use."

The three of them caught a fleeting moment of hesitation on Percy's face.

"Time is of the essence. The plane could experience turbulence again at any moment, and we don't know when those special figures will return, including you. When that happens, none of us will be able to escape."

Percy finally spoke, "There... there is one."

"In an emergency, there's something in the cockpit that... something left over from the modifications."

Yansheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately asked, "Oh? What is it?"

Percy took a deep breath and told him everything he knew, "It's an emergency ejection system that can take people off the plane."

Itanu's brow remained furrowed.

He knew that this type of ejection device was something only equipped on military or experimental aircraft, and it was abnormal for it to appear on a civilian airliner.

Modifications... so this plane is not a regular commercial airliner at all.

Xu Xi, however, thought about it more deeply.

The airline's illegal operation of repeatedly putting crashed aircraft into service may be hiding a deeper secret.

But how would Percy, an ordinary Flight Attendant, know about this?

How much does the other party know?

"That's wonderful!" Yansheng's face lit up with joy. "Please take us there."

Itanu, however, hesitated.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but it just felt a little too smooth.

So he questioned, "Don't forget, those things might still be in the passageway over there. Besides, ejection systems can usually only save one person at a time, right?"

Unexpectedly, the Bangs Man had previously appeared exceptionally shrewd, now asked in a completely different tone, "Do you have any other leads right now, or... do you have any other clues?"

Itanu's voice went hoarse.

He was truly at a loss.

But... he stared intently at Yansheng, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He remembered that the other person hadn't drunk the beverage.

Seeing that no one spoke, Percy whispered, "Then... shall we go?"

Yansheng nodded. "Please lead the way."

Seeing that the black-haired youth beside him did not follow, Itanu stayed behind as well.

As he watched the two figures gradually disappear behind the curtain, he realized that the Bangs Man had been affected mentally at some point.

That drink... no wonder it had to be drunk on the spot.

Now, the Bangs Man who likes to manipulate others has his own mind being manipulated.

As Itanu's thoughts raced, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the person beside him.

During this Dungeon, he lost count of how many times he looked at the other person.

He felt both relieved and terrified.

He was relieved that he had made the right choices every time, but he was also alarmed by the difficulty of this Dungeon, which made him feel a sense of powerlessness he had never felt before.

If it weren't for the black-haired youth, even if he had drunk the beverage and resisted the mental erosion, he probably would have followed Percy to the Cockpit in this situation where he was completely helpless.

After all, their initial thought was to escape before the plane crashed.

As for breaking the loop and preventing the crash?

A line of thought without any clues is ultimately just a direction.

However... luckily, there's another expert in this Dungeon!

--

Did Xu Xi die again?

The answer is no.

He had originally intended to go with Percy and the Bangs Man to take a look, but when he saw the Tattooed Man standing still, he silently stood still.

Compared to those two, he still felt the Tattooed Man was more reliable.

Even if that device really works, we can just Rollback the previous save file after the Bangs Man finishes the game.
