When Si Yehan arrived at the restaurant entrance, he happened to run into Su Wei had just finished eating.
Su Wei smiled at Si Yehan and said, "You're only eating now? The other six will probably be done eating in a while. You can join them. The food in the cafeteria here is pretty good; you can try it out. I have to go back to my dorm first."
Si Yehan did not respond to Su Wei, walking past her as if she were not there, his expression indifferent.
Su Wei's smile froze, clearly embarrassed, but no resentment appeared in her eyes. Instead, she patted her chest and comforted herself, "There's no need to take it to heart. Everyone has their own temper. But this is the first time I've encountered someone like this. Even my teammates in previous dungeons, who were veterans, weren't this difficult to get along with. Once I show my strength and save his life, he'll definitely thank me and apologize for not doing so now."
She let out a long breath, concealing her embarrassment, and hurriedly ran towards the dormitory building.
In Si Yehan's view, there weren't many truly threatening people among his teammates. Even Xia Yuanhou, who was slightly taller than him, could be defeated within five moves in a bare-handed fight. Therefore, there was no need to pay him any attention; he only needed to speak when necessary.
Thoughts flashed through his mind as Si Yehan entered the cafeteria. It was surprisingly spacious inside. He walked to the window and ordered some decent-looking dishes. The food here was free; he didn't need to pay.
During the meal, Si Yehan found a seat close to the door.
Perhaps it was because the cafeteria had two entrances that they didn't run into Zhuang Xiaosheng and his group. That was fine, as it saved them from being disturbed.
Although he had killed the one-armed old man not long ago, Si Yehan was still hoping that time would pass quickly so that he could carry out the next killing.
The ghost in this instance hasn't appeared yet, nor has the pattern of its killings been revealed. We can only speculate based on the envelopes. However, the useful information inside the envelopes is too little, making them no different from riddles. Therefore, we can only explore with the help of our teammates.
The ghosts tonight are difficult to deal with; I'm completely on the defensive. Perhaps there's some information in the vigil hall. While thinking and eating, Si Yehan suppressed his thoughts, leaving the food in his bowl untouched on the table.
She got up and walked out of the cafeteria, back to the dormitory building. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she ran into Zhuang Xiaosheng, Ge Congze, and others. Su Wei's hair was a little wet at the ends and was temporarily disheveled, obviously because she had mentioned earlier that she was rushing back to the dormitory to take a shower.
Upon encountering Si Yehan, Zhuang Xiaosheng called out softly, "Brother, are you busy right now? If not, we were just about to take a look around this staff dormitory. Do you want to come along?"
Si Yehan's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded, saying, "Alright."
Going back to the dorm is pointless now, so I might as well follow those seven people and see if I can find anything useful. I can also use this opportunity to assess their methods and capabilities to ensure that nothing unexpected happens during the hunt.
When Su Wei saw Si Yehan reply, she suddenly realized that the reason he had ignored her earlier was probably because he was much taller than her and hadn't seen her or paid attention to the sounds around him.
She casually tied her hair up. In the past, she was used to trying her best to make a good impression on everyone, so she took the initiative to greet people. There was nothing embarrassing about it being forced.
Qianjing Youhui fiddled with her bangs and said, "Let's take the elevator to the sixth floor first, then go down the stairs to observe the area. After we've explored the entire dormitory building, we can go back to our room and wait for the staff to call us for Night Watch."
Xia Yuanhou yawned and said, "Maybe the staff will come to notify us when we get downstairs, saving us from having to make another trip. Although the elevator isn't tiring, the appearance of this dormitory building is honestly quite unlucky."
Ge Congze stepped into the elevator, and when he looked at Xia Yuanhou, a mocking expression appeared on his face. "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Xia Yuanhou immediately patted his chest and said in a very deep voice, "How could I be afraid of ghosts? If such a terrifying appearance suddenly appeared in my face, I would at most be startled, but I wouldn't make a sound. I'm not only strong, but also handsome. How could I have poor mental fortitude? Don't look down on me. Maybe you're not as brave as me."
The others entered the elevator at that moment, leaving only Xia Yuanhou outside. Ge Congze rolled his eyes, seemingly speechless at Xia Yuanhou: "Alright, how have you survived to this point with your personality? Stop talking nonsense and get in the elevator."
Xia Yuanhou agreed and strode into the elevator, nearly getting his foot caught in the door. "Okay."
Si Yehan leaned against the handrail in the corner of the elevator, his gaze indifferent. These two would certainly liven up the atmosphere in a dungeon, and the further you progress in these dungeons, the more interesting it becomes to see these teammates as prey.
Unfortunately, I'm not a ghost in this instance who holds absolute power of life and death, able to hunt indiscriminately as long as the killing pattern is triggered.
As participants, they also need to deal with Vengeful Ghosts, preventing them from fully immersing themselves in the hunt.
Si Yehan felt a slight pang of regret, but he didn't show it. The elevator doors opened slowly with a creak.
But what came into view was a sealed-off exit, an iron gate blocking the way, a lock hanging on it, covered with yellow prohibition tapes, and the words "Do Not Enter" written in bright red letters.
But there's a key hanging right next to it, clearly designed to provoke a negative reaction and lure people into the sixth floor! It's almost as if they're changing "Do Not Enter" to "Must Enter".
Even Zhuang Xiaosheng was at a loss for what to do at this moment.
Ge Congze's face was somewhat stiff as he exchanged a bewildered glance with Xia Yuanhou, who was standing not far away.
Xie Fei's already icy expression darkened further. She stared coldly at the "Do Not Enter" sign on the railing, the crimson characters particularly glaring, as if stained with blood. Her amber eyes reflected this clearly as she whispered, "Let's go. This place looks ominous."
Su Wei looked at the blocked intersection and took a deep breath.
Su Qing said in a low voice, "Should we leave?"
Qianjing Youhui's eyes shifted slightly, and she analyzed in a deep voice, "The original intention behind this door might have been exactly what it sounds like—to prevent outsiders from entering! But some people are just too stubborn, so they put up a key to scare people away, thus achieving the goal of keeping them out. But we can only gamble; the cost of trial and error is too low now."
For a moment, everyone was unsure whether to advance or retreat, but Si Yehan remained calm. He didn't suggest whether to advance or retreat, and said in a composed tone, "The only solution now is to capture a native, throw that person in, and see if he lives or dies."
Those who have reached this level naturally wouldn't consider the lives of the natives extremely important, so Si Yehan's plan was instantly approved as soon as it was proposed.
A hint of pity flashed across Su Wei's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She knew what was more important. These natives had worked at this funeral home for so many years; they certainly weren't innocent. Even if they were innocent, they weren't human beings of the same species as her.
Her kindness towards other species was only based on her own comfortable circumstances.
Zhuang Xiaosheng looked at Xia Yuanhou and said, "Brother Xia, you and Brother Ge... why don't you two go find a local? We're waiting for you on the fifth floor."
This time, naturally, no one objected.
Si Yehan fell silent again and followed Zhuang Xiaosheng and the others to the fifth floor. This time, there was no sixth floor.
