After sharing their experiences, everyone stopped talking and took turns resting. The latter half of the night passed very quickly.
No one spoke for a long time, and the night passed in a flash.
As dawn broke, light streamed through the window and into the room. The old woman, who had been standing upright on the ice coffin, let out a low growl, like a wild beast. Her flesh and blood underwent a rapid transformation before she lay back down in the ice coffin.
Si Yehan opened his eyelids. He had slept quite a long time tonight and wasn't sleepy at all. These people, who worked in shifts, hadn't woken him up, perhaps because they found it tiring to accompany Su Wei in trying to figure out the killing patterns.
Looking at the four people around him who were clearly sleepy, Si Yehan rubbed his fingers, pondering who he should kill today, not forgetting his plans from last night.
The Luo brothers, Luo Tian and Luo Hai, were also to be knocked unconscious and moved into the auditorium.
Given the lack of anesthetic, it would be best to knock these two unconscious and take them to the auditorium in the afternoon.
After Xia Yuanhou woke up, he rubbed his face to dispel the drowsiness. A cold and solemn aura enveloped him, and his strong body stood out even more. He walked straight forward and pushed open the door to go out.
As night passed, Ge Congze's solemn expression lessened somewhat. He called out to Xia Yuanhou's departing figure, "Are you planning to find a way to avenge Ning Qian today?"
Xia Yuanhou didn't turn around. After a night of recuperation, his voice was slightly hoarse. "Yes, I'll eat first to recover my strength, and then I'll begin the investigation."
Qianjing Youhui and Xie Fei had both recovered. The former looked at Xia Yuanhou with a somewhat complicated expression, but it soon returned to its previous calm, as elegant and gentle as before. As for the latter, apart from showing a different expression when recounting her experiences last night, she maintained a cold attitude the rest of the time.
Si Yehan, with his hands in the outer pockets of his trench coat and an indifferent expression, strolled out of the hall as if it were a leisurely stroll. Since this Xia Yuanhou was so eager to die, then so be it.
When they arrived at the front desk, Luo Tian and Luo Hai were standing there, looking quite energetic! They offered their blessings as everyone left.
As soon as I stepped out of the auditorium, I saw a gloomy sky. The light that fell from it also had a gloomy feel to it. Apart from the clouds, the sky was pure white, giving off a rather oppressive feeling, as if it was about to rain at any moment.
Recalling the rainy day he experienced in the previous instance, Si Yehan smiled and chuckled softly, "Today is a fine day, though."
Qianjing Youhui's gaze shifted from the sky back to the ground. A fleeting look of suspicion crossed her eyes as she glanced at Si Yehan. After all, thinking it over, Su Wei's death yesterday was too suspicious, as was Su Qing.
Si Yehan has never been a sociable person. Every time Xia Yuanhou faces him and Ge Congze, he feels threatened. It is highly likely that Su Qing did not leave on her own yesterday, but was taken away by someone.
All three of them are definitely not weak in combat, and all of them could be, but Qianjing Youhui's intuition leans more towards Ge Congze and Si Yehan. Considering their physical differences, she is more suspicious of Si Yehan.
However, it cannot be ruled out that Xie Fei, who was by her side, had been playing dumb all along. After all, when she entered the instance, her self-introduction of "being good at analyzing murder patterns" was never demonstrated, so the possibility of her hiding her true abilities is not low. It is also possible that she was just making up a story to get through her self-introduction.
Despite the turmoil in her mind, Qianjing Youhui thoughtfully agreed, "Neither too hot nor too cold, it's definitely more suitable for exploration."
They chatted casually for a while, keeping the atmosphere from getting too boring. All five of them returned to their dormitory building, and since they weren't too far apart, they all entered the elevator together. Xia Yuanhou walked in front and entered the elevator first, immediately pressing the buttons for the third and fourth floors.
Xia Yuanhou exited the elevator on the third floor. Si Yehan didn't rush to follow him out of the elevator; that would be too obvious. If he killed Xia Yuanhou, it would be difficult not to arouse suspicion.
He went back to the fourth floor with the other three.
Before they went inside, Ge Congze paused slightly, called out to the three of them, and said with a smile, "After we wake up, let's explore this funeral home more this afternoon, and help Xia Yuanhou find the culprit while we're at it."
After a moment's thought, Qianjing Youhui nodded and said, "Okay. Go to sleep, everyone. Good morning, sweet dreams."
Xie Fei didn't say anything, but simply made a gesture of agreement. She had Night Watch for quite some time last night, and now her already aloof face showed signs of fatigue and drowsiness.
Si Yehan nodded without speaking. After returning to his room, he locked the door, tore open his clothes, picked up a disposable bathrobe and sweater, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Warm water flowed from the showerhead, running down Si Yehan's hair and over his entire body. His expression was indifferent, and his demeanor exuded a languid air.
The water vapor blurred the glass. Si Yehan slightly moved his joints, knowing that he could start hunting Xia Yuanhou after taking a shower.
In just over ten minutes, Si Yehan had finished showering. After drying himself off, he walked out of the bathroom and put on his clothes.
Perhaps due to the Weird Game, clothes don't need to be changed even if they get dusty, providing great convenience within the dungeon. However, in the face of life-or-death crises, no one cares about such things.
When outside, with supernatural powers by his side, there's even less need to worry about such minor issues. Besides, Si Yehan doesn't care about such trivial matters as long as they don't affect his killing.
After dressing again, Si Yehan took out a baton and weighed it in his hand. After knocking Luo Tian and Luo Hai unconscious with it, he could start preparing to discard them.
Si Yehan pushed open the door and stepped out, raising his eyebrows and glancing over the other closed rooms before his gaze fell once more on the elevator. He pressed the elevator button, waiting for it to ascend from the first floor to the fourth.
The corridor was quiet, though it was daytime, the light and shadows were dappled. The elevator's speed of ascent was reflected on the display screen, the numbers scrolling and mirroring in Si Yehan's eyes, until a slight sound reached his ears and the elevator doors opened by themselves.
Si Yehan stepped inside. The distance of just one floor meant the elevator arrived quite quickly, leaving little time for further thought.
He had already started thinking about who to target after killing Xia Yuanhou.
As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, the moment the elevator doors opened, a face came into view—cold and stern, filled with weariness and anger! His imposing figure cast a shadow; it was Xia Yuanhou. He stood at the elevator door, staring intently at Si Yehan, and asked in a chilling voice, "What are you doing here?"
As soon as he opened the door, someone suddenly appeared in his face. Si Yehan remained completely calm, replying, "I had some business to attend to, and I just happened to come and see what clues you've discovered. After thinking about it last night, I also discovered some things that might be of some help to you, so I thought I'd tell you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanhou's cold expression softened somewhat, and he forced an unnatural smile, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Come inside and tell me, I just found something inside too."
As Xia Yuanhou entered Ning Qian's room, he turned around and said, "If you don't mind the bedding in this room, please sit down and let's talk."
Si Yehan remained silent for a long time, only a smile appeared on his lips.
The more Xia Yuanhou looked, the more uneasy he felt. Even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, driven by rage, he growled in a low voice, "What are you laughing at? Tell me!"
Si Yehan's words echoed softly, reaching Xia Yuanhou's ears and causing his eyes to widen instantly, filled with anger and disbelief:
"Ning Qian was tortured to death by me. She was still thinking about you when she died. She kept saying that you would save her and avenge her, but I think you two will both end up with a tragic death."
