Destroying His Own Way Out

The flute melodies went back and forth, forming a two-way conversation.

Teng Shan gripped the flute, a sharp gleam in his eyes. Unconsciously following the sound, he arrived before a door that felt immensely familiar.

1307.

Still Room 1307, still in the same place, yet in another world.

Teng Shan had not fared well in Act One, or he would not have fallen so far behind.

His choice to knock on the door had caused him considerable trouble. He had barely managed to pass with Li Guanqi's guidance.

It could be said that the clue to Act Two had been within reach, and he had played a major role in obtaining it.

For a "newcomer" in a Manager Mission, that was already an exceptionally good performance.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Teng Shan turned around with a smile and said eagerly,

"Manager Ji, what we're looking for is inside!"

Ji Li glanced at him without saying anything, placing his hand on the door to Room 1307 just as he had before.

Feeling its icy surface, he slowly pushed it open.

It was exactly the same as before.

The same pale hand knocked against the door, opening the long-sealed door.

Opening it from within led to death, while opening it from outside revealed a clue.

Everything in Room 1307 was finally laid bare.

Under the dark red light, the mysterious room remained completely empty.

However, Ji Li spotted something unusual this time.

A cardboard box resembling a delivery package lay quietly in the middle of the Living Room, as though waiting for someone to open it.

Standing behind the door, Teng Shan blew the flute once more, its melodious sound echoing through the room.

The cardboard box immediately responded. He played the first phrase, and it answered with the second.
