Message from Night Evolution Breath

"What comes next...?"

Bai Zhi thought the notes in the Notebook had ended there, but after turning a few more pages, new handwriting appeared on the blank pages.

However, compared to the previous handwriting, the handwriting that appeared on the paper later was clearly written by someone else.

As for why Bai Zhi was so certain, it was because it was written in the very first line...

[The following information will be recorded by Senior Investigator "Night Evolution Breath," a member of the Relevant Department. Other Player are requested to bring this information back upon seeing it.]

"Night Evolution Breath?"

Upon seeing this sentence, Steel Bones couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm".

"What, do you know him?"

Bai Zhi's brows twitched slightly. He turned to look at Steel Bones beside him, but considering that the other party was a Military Player, he was probably a member of the Relevant Department, so it was not unreasonable for him to know him.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know it. Although the Military Player structure is also under the jurisdiction of the Relevant Department, our Military has an independent system."

Looking at the contents of the Notebook, Steel Bones spoke in a deep voice.

"Night Evolution Breath, that system belongs to the Investigator Sector. The Investigator section is specifically responsible for searching for information and patterns in Anomaly, and it's a very dangerous system. Night Evolution Breath is one of the best in this system. His individual Player strength path follows the stealthy assassination style. He's very intelligent and has had the experience of exploring Type Anomaly alone, not only surviving unscathed but also rescuing his three Teammate who were trapped in them... I never expected him to come here too."

"Really? But it seems he didn't manage to get out of this Dungeon, otherwise he wouldn't have left that message..."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhi continued to look at the Notebook in front of him.

[I've named this Dungeon "Anna's Gift," as the main theme of the Anomaly is Anna herself. The entire Rose Manor consists of the outermost Mirror Maze, the central Bushes, the Forest of Mannequins, the open Plaza Castle Perimeter, and the castle itself.]

Compared to the previous notes, which were more like casual essays, the style changed noticeably after a change of recorder.

[Within the castle, several hidden rules exist. If these Rule 1 are violated, and Survival Ability are insufficient, the consequence will be death. The hidden rules I have currently discovered are as follows.]

[①: The principle of Equivalent Exchange. Everything within the castle follows the principle of Equivalent Exchange, so it's best to be cautious in everything you say and do. Fortunately, Anna will remind you before any exchange, but there have been instances where exchanges have been made without prior warning.]

[PS: The first unmentioned principle of Equivalent Exchange is when Tourist arrive at the castle and Anna invites them to choose a room to stay in. If Players actually choose a room at this point, they have already paid the price of the principle of Equivalent Exchange, and are now burdened with the Curse of not being able to leave the Castle Perimeter; if they do, they will turn into Doll.]

[②: Maid and guards within the Rose Manor are prohibited from meeting Tourist. Due to Anna's orders, the Maid and servants are invisible to Player. They primarily appear at night, but during the day, after Player leave their rooms, Player Maid will enter to clean them. Two points need to be considered to prevent this.]

[PS: Don't worry about running into the Maid or guards during the day, as they will actively avoid guests. It's best not to go out at night, because you might encounter Maid or guards wandering the castle. To obey Anna's orders, they will kill anything else they encounter. Of course, you can choose to fight back, but it's very dangerous because they move in groups.]

[③: Anna is immortal. All known attacks are ineffective against Anna. Even if you kill Anna completely and burn her to ashes, Anna will simply reappear. Attacking Anna is not recommended, as it may provoke Anna malice.]

[PS: Anna isn't particularly strong; her overall average attributes are estimated to be around 30 points. However, she possesses the ability to turn people into dolls. Once captured in battle, their bodies will uncontrollably transform into doll-like forms.]

[④: Anna's Gift. Every morning, Anna will select one wish from those written by each Tourist the previous night and grant it. This is currently the Unique known chance to safely escape this Dungeon, because you can write down your wish to leave Rose Manor, and that wish can be granted.]

[PS: Anna's Gift offer many powerful Equipment and Item, but the level limit is limited to Elite Level. Items or Skill that grant resurrection are also unavailable. Be careful not to be too greedy, such as asking for three wishes, as this can lead to dire consequences. If it weren't for the daily, dangerous Anna's Game, this would be a good place to farm various Skill and Equipment.]

[⑤: Conditions for leaving the manor. There are three conditions for leaving this manor. You can leave as long as you meet one of them. However, without exception, all three conditions are very difficult to meet. Often, you will die here before you can meet the conditions.]

[First condition: Leave via Anna's Gift. This is the easiest; if you're lucky enough that your written wish, "I hope to leave the manor safely," is selected, you can leave the Dungeon unharmed. However, this depends on luck.]

[The second condition: Kill Anna. This was stated by Anna herself; if she can be killed, this Dungeon will cease to exist. However, facing Anna's immortality, no one can succeed.]

[The third condition: Stay in the castle for Seven Days. If you're confident you can survive Anna's Game for Seven Days consecutive days, this is actually a very good option... but it's difficult.]

[PS: The difficulty of "Anna's Game" gradually increases over time. Often, more than half the players will die in a single Game, making it extremely difficult to survive for Seven Days. It is recommended to leave after meeting the first condition.]

"What? If that's the case, there should clearly be a fourth condition."

After reading through the long record in front of him, written by [Night Evolution Breath], Bai Zhi couldn't help but purse his lips.

"A fourth one? There are only three recorded here, and Anna herself said there were only three conditions."

Turning his head, Fireworks of Romance looked at him with some confusion.

"It's simple. The fourth condition is to kill everyone except yourself, leaving only yourself, right?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the people around him and smiled nonchalantly.

"In that case, wouldn't he be the one 100% guaranteed to have his wish fulfilled in 'Anna's Gift'?"
