Human fear stems from the unknown.

Once the veil of mystery is removed from the unknown, what difference is there between the so-called unknown and a dog?

Night Owl put the pendant back on her neck and exhaled.

Overall, her adventure was worthwhile.

Every Player who completes the Novice Quest will have their own initial Skill. Although Player can acquire other Skill later, the importance of the initial Skill to each Player is undeniable.

The Night Owl's initial Skill is [Back!!].

You have only one chance per day to turn back time by one minute, and this Skill refreshes precisely at midnight every day.

As long as she isn't killed immediately and as long as she retains some consciousness, she can activate this Skill unconditionally.

While this Skill may not be very useful in certain situations or when facing certain death, Skill has a unique advantage in gathering intelligence.

"Anomaly that ran out from the door shown in the poster on the wall...?"

Looking at the still motionless Weather Doll, Night Owl was filled with lingering fear. Although she still couldn't see it, she clearly understood that the room was almost completely filled with people.

The reason the room temperature kept dropping was because people kept entering. The [Weather Doll], which should have been spinning rapidly like a top, was firmly fixed in place by a Girl clinging to the wall like a spider. The reason the light emitted by the [Street Lamp Flower] kept shifting between light and dark was because someone walked past it... The whole truth was revealed.

These humanoid figures that she couldn't see were intelligent beings. The chill she felt on the back of her neck at the very beginning was brought by the beings that first emerged from the poster.

The first thing the other person did after coming out was to fix the [Weather Doll] there, and there was no reason for them to attack her afterwards, probably because of the pendant she was wearing around her neck.

If nothing unexpected happens, the guys who've been knocking on her door for the past few days are probably from the same group.

So what exactly are these Eerie Thing that almost fill the entire room?

Staring into the dark room that seemed empty but was actually filled with people, the Night Owl, wrapped in her blanket, drifted into a daze, lost in a philosophical state of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

Now that I know the truth behind the strange things that happened in the room, what's next?

So what do I need to do now?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Pushing a cart, after quickly replenishing their supplies, Zither-Drum Harmony maintained a leisurely pace and made their way towards the elevator.

Since there were no notes today, and she deliberately sped up, her actions were quite rapid, making her one of the first Floor Administrator to evacuate.

Although a "Big Light Bulb" was knocked down here yesterday, when she came here today, she found that the thing she didn't even know what it was had been put back in place.

After getting off the elevator, Black&White had already separated from her and was now nowhere to be found in the lobby. If she didn't want to see any rather graphic scenes, Zither-Drum Harmony felt it was essential to make a hasty retreat.

Just imagine: in a vast hall filled with all sorts of ingredients, what if at some point all of these ingredients suddenly transformed into some indescribable substance? How terrifying and indescribable that would be...

Fortunately, I didn't have to face this Hell scene.

Hearing the faint commotion coming from not far behind, a sense of relief Zither-Drum Harmony relief swept through my heart as I stepped into the elevator to go home.

This was a catastrophe that is almost impossible to describe in words.

The various rare ingredients piled high on the shelves, the rice and flour on the carts, the stacks of fresh fruits and vegetables... all of it turned into a yellowish-brown torrent in an instant.

The luckier ones only got a tiny bit on them, while the unlucky ones were completely buried by these falling things...

"Hmm... the damage caused by this Skill is far more severe than I imagined..."

Looking at the Hell scene before him, a mountain of dung Sea of Excrement, where everyone was working hard to produce dung, a criminal suspect who had taken cover in the Safe Zone looked thoughtful.

Chaos erupted. The once deathly silent hall was now in complete disarray, filled with screams and retching sounds. The Floor Administrator who had escaped from the hazard zone had caused chaos on a new floor.

Faced with those guys covered in yellowish-brown excrement stumbling and running past their Safe Zone, the Floor Administrator in these unaffected Safe Zone turned green instantly. They yelled, "Don't Come Over Here!!!!" while turning around and pushing their carts, fleeing for their lives as if a dozen man-eating dogs were chasing them.

Unfortunately, it seems those who escaped from the danger zone brought a new Curse, because wherever they went, the mountains of food began to change instantly, the shelves collapsed, and the fleeing creatures were drenched in a cold sweat...

In this day and age, who has the time or inclination to care about the rules that must be followed in this hall?

Seemingly completely unprepared for such a strange occurrence right under their noses, the "Big Light Bulb" that covered the entire hall remained motionless for a moment before finally starting to move.

Within a short time, the "Big Light Bulb" that had been evenly distributed above every corner of the hall gradually converged, and if you looked up from below, you could see that the light sources had begun to move spontaneously... but no one cared about that anymore.

Although these "Big Light Bulb"Big Light Bulb (humans) were willing to control the chaotic situation and even considered eating a few humans to establish their authority and control the scene, they hesitated for a long time, unable to bring themselves to eat the stench below...

Taking advantage of the current chaotic situation and the fact that those troublesome "Big Light Bulb" above were too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else, Bai Zhi, who had already lurked to the edge of the hall, seized the best opportunity.
