Wrong Door

Luo Jun dared to say this because, with Lao Miao Miao obtaining the hidden Key Fragment, she gained the authority to skip the voting process. As long as she skipped the next two rounds, no one could vote her out, and then she could just focus on passing the levels and wait to collect the rewards.

As for the claim of Hidden Mission, it's only half true. I've confirmed with Lao Miao Miao that such a claim won't trigger any penalties.

The voting results were finalized, and no amount of criticism could change anything; they could only follow the instructions and move on to the next level.

However, as they walked through the corridor, everyone kept a certain distance from Luo Jun. Although the rules prohibited violence, they were still instinctively wary of the person most suspected of being the mole.

"The Mimic Person has been captured," Luo Jun, who was walking at the back, whispered to Lao Miao Miao.

Lao Miao Miao winked at Zhu Sanyang in front of her, seemingly unsure whether the imprisoned Elisa was Mimic Person.

"Don't worry, I'm confident it's Elisa." Luo Jun noticed her worry and reassured her, "I have a Lie-Detecting Treasure Item, Zhu Sanyang can confirm it's true."

Lao Miao Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

"From now on, all you need to do is Key Fragment."

Lao Miao Miao's face darkened again...

Recalling the Second Checkpoint in the previous round, Lao Miao Miao stayed for the full thirty minutes twice before coming out...

Luo Jun frowned. "You don't... know where the fragments for the Second Checkpoint are, do you?"

Lao Miao Miao nodded...

"You've already gone through six cycles. You should be able to enter all seven rooms at least once, and you still haven't found it?"

Lao Miao Miao sighed, took a coin out of her pocket, and tossed it into the air.

Luo Jun understood what she meant. "Random?"

Lao Miao Miao acquiesced.

"Each cycle offers three sorting opportunities. Is each round random?"

Lao Miao Miao shook her head.

"That means the room where the key is located is fixed in each cycle, but you only have a maximum of three chances. If you go to the wrong room three times, you won't get the Key Fragment."

Lao Miao Miao acquiesced.

"And what about the monsters inside each door?" Luo Jun asked. "Do they change with each reincarnation?"

Lao Miao Miao shook her head.

"So you know the correct order to pass the levels? You know all three chances?"

default.

"Then why didn't you deliberately make a mistake in the second round last time and take the third chance to try again?"

Lao Miao Miao glanced at Zheng Ji was walking ahead.

Luo Jun narrowed his eyes, recalling how Zheng Ji had died in the second round last time...

"Once someone dies, the Key Fragment can't be found?" Luo Jun asked.

Lao Miao Miao nodded.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

As they spoke, the group had already passed through the corridor and arrived at the circular room.

Unlike the seven doors last time, this time there are only six.

It seems the number of doors is determined by the number of people who arrive at this level. Throwing one person out in the first round will reduce the difficulty of sorting in the second round.

As for Lao Miao Miao, the search area has been narrowed down.

Watching the others study the rules and discuss countermeasures, Luo Jun asked in a low voice, "Can I find the Hidden Key?"

Lao Miao Miao nodded, meaning that anyone could complete the Hidden Mission, but without any quest hints, even if they saw the hidden Key Fragment, they probably wouldn't know what it was and would just ignore it.

"How do we find it?" Luo Jun asked. "What does it look like? Are there any clues?"

Lao Miao Miao looked troubled; unable to reveal mission information, she didn't know how to describe it.

After thinking for a while, she made a sleeping motion.

"Sleep?" Luo Jun blinked. "Where do monsters sleep? In their lair?"

Lao Miao Miao nodded excitedly.

"But the monsters just appear out of nowhere in each room..." Luo Jun recalled his two experiences from the previous loop, "So after killing the monsters, you need to find a place in the scene that looks like a nest... The key is in there!"

Lao Miao Miao clapped her hands excitedly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Okay..." Luo Jun said, "In that case, once the checkpoints start, we'll each choose a room... As long as no one dies, we should be able to find one in three rounds, six rooms in total."

Lao Miao Miao nodded, hope returning to her eyes.

Soon it was time to choose a room. While everyone was still looking for the number that looked best, Lao Miao Miao had already pushed open a door and gone inside.

She chose door number six.

After Lao Miao Miao entered the room, Luo Jun did not rush to act, but instead observed the situation first.

Zhu Sanyang still chose Gate 3, and Zheng Ji chose Gate 4. Before Cui Zheng Hai and Du Jincai could make their choices, Luo Jun activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

"Push open the door where there are hidden Key Fragment!"

The dice are spinning, which means the key is not inside doors number three, four, and six, which have already been opened!

The two sets of results were 56 points and 24 points respectively.

"Ding, Event Difficulty 67 points, Final Points 56 + 5 points, Event Failed."

It failed...

Although it was a pity, we still gained enough information.

Luo Jun casually pushed open door number five. Behind the door was a huge iron cage, and in the center of the cage stood a naked, voluptuous woman with a hot body.

If Luo Jun had seen such a scene of springtime beauty elsewhere, he might have stolen a glance, but now, his eyes were full of vigilance.

When the woman saw him, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Then, her long hair suddenly stuck together and transformed into sharp blades. Her originally smooth and soft skin also suddenly became deformed, with sharp Bone Blades growing out. Even her eyes were pierced by the Bone Blades, and two thin limbs grew out!

One second she was a stunning beauty, the next she turned into a monster that made people physically uncomfortable.

Is this the monster Du Jincai faced in the last round?

Facing the charging Succubus, Luo Jun drew his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and swung it in a horizontal slash. With a clang, several broken Bone Blades flew up, severing the Succubus's right arm in the process.

The Succubus cried out in pain and turned to flee, but Luo Jun caught up in a flash and, with a few swift strokes, chopped the number one ranked monster of this round into eight pieces.

It is fast and has sharp attacks, but poor defense. It is a typical Assassin -type monster. It is good at dealing with those with many skills but weak bodies. When it encounters a strong man like Luo Jun who can achieve miracles with brute force, it can be said to be perfectly countered.

Although he knew there were no Key Fragment here, Luo Jun was still in no hurry to leave. He wanted to see what exactly this monster's lair that Lao Miao Miao had mentioned was.

The scene takes place inside a massive hemispherical iron cage, thirty meters in diameter. The cage is made of steel bars as thick as a wrist, and a huge searchlight sits atop it, offering a clear view of the interior. However, the outside of the cage is pitch black, and even with Luo Jun's eyesight, he can only vaguely make out a more open area with some strange instruments and equipment.

Luo Jun approached the cage, brandished his Crescent Moon Blade, and with a single stroke, cleaved several steel bars in two.

It's not ordinary steel; it must be some kind of special alloy with extremely high strength!

After all, it was a cage used to trap monsters, and its sturdiness was far beyond that of ordinary materials.

However, even the super-alloy cage couldn't withstand the Unstoppable Crescent Moon Blade and Luo Jun's monstrous strength. With just a few strikes, it cleaved open a gap, allowing Luo Jun to crawl out. He quickly adjusted to the darkness and could see a ring of stands around him, with various experimental instruments below. There was a passageway in one of them, but he didn't know where it led.

Luo Jun walked along the passage and soon saw an iron door. He kicked it open and found a huge laboratory behind it. In the middle of the laboratory stood several thick petri dishes, in which were monsters similar to the women in the iron cages... However, judging from their twisted limbs and crooked Bone Blades, they seemed to be failed experiments.

So that monster was a product of biological experiments... This is her birthplace, or you could say her lair.

However, there were only various instruments here, but no one was seen conducting the experiment, and naturally, no so-called Key Fragment could be found.

Luo Jun circled around, and after confirming that he couldn't reach any other location, he returned to the cage, pushed open the door, and left.
