The "Black Box" held by the Key Bearer had an Internal Space. When Han Dong reached inside, it felt like rummaging through a pile of corpses heaped with severed Abyssal Demon arms.
Though it felt strange, Han Dong quickly accepted the arrangement.
Lingering too long or using any ability to investigate counted as a violation. His arm would be permanently severed by the Key Bearer... the only thing he could rely on was intuition.

"Ta-da~ I've made my choice!"
When he pulled his hand out of the Black Box, he held a red key with square teeth.

"Green, no rush~ We should be able to stay in this area for a while, right? If we remain too long, will the Key Bearer attack us?"
"In theory, we're allowed to rest here for up to One Hour. After all, some of the parties tied to these keys can be extremely dangerous, so Father kindly allowed a period of stay when he designed this place."
"One Hour? Green, why don't you explain in detail how the keys are related to the parties?"
"Oh, right~ I forgot to explain the rules
