Deep into the Main Room, Selling Out to Survive

Judging by the timing, Timid Ghoul's "Adaptive Privilege" should have been triggered.

Given enough time, Ji Yan used [Omniscient Understanding] to thoroughly analyze the [Main Room] and [East Wing Room].

Two of the "hidden Easter eggs" within would be of considerable benefit to him.

Of course, he could not reach those two Easter eggs on his own. He had to rely on Timid Ghoul's "Know-it-all" setting.

"Where are you going?"

Timid Ghoul was clearly afraid and spoke in a low voice. "Don't... There are some really fierce ones in there..."

Ji Yan smiled. "What are you afraid of? You have me, your second sister, and your third sister backing you up. No one in this house can bully you."

"I need to go in and retrieve a few things. They're meant to save lives."

"Are you really going to stand by and watch your little brother die?"

Timid Ghoul froze for a moment, then shook his head and said seriously, "No way. I'll take you in!"

The corridor deep within the [Main Room] was a restricted area. Players needed to clear the corresponding stage before they could unlock it.

"Could you... let us in?"

The gatekeeping ghost stared at Timid Ghoul in silence for a moment before
