• Old Yuan investigated the site where the Polluter had sent Luo Jun into a Chaos World and revealed that a Soul-Seeking Compass could let him follow Luo Jun’s trail.

• Luo Jun found the Midnight Hotel’s rules, which warned him to stay in his room and treat humans as safe while regarding other living creatures as dangerous.
• Luo Jun tried to use the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to predict whether following the rules would keep him safe, but the event was too complex for the dice to determine.
• When someone knocked heavily on his door, Luo Jun took a wooden hanger and looked through the peephole, then saw something that made cold sweat pour down his back.

• Luo Jun entered the dark stairwell, where the Tentacle Monster stopped at the entrance and turned away.
• Luo Jun found a notice listing the Corridor's rules, including warnings about endless stairs, vending machines, and the basement.

Luo Jun tried to find a safe route back to the third floor after discovering conflicting rules, but the stairs returned him to the same landing. When a monster appeared, he let it pass and realized something about the rules before heading upstairs.

• Luo Jun studied the printed and handwritten rules, then decided to climb back up rather than risk going down toward the basement.
• He reached another landing instead of the third floor and found the same rules posted there.
• Luo Jun tried to use the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to return to the third floor, but it could not determine the outcome.
• A strange monster descended the stairs, and Luo Jun stepped aside as it passed and bowed to him.
• Luo Jun concluded that the rule about yielding to creatures applied to monsters too, then noticed something about the rules and headed upstairs.

Luo Jun escaped the Endless Corridor by following its rules and using a vending machine, then used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to ride the elevator safely to the First Floor. The elevator’s unusually high danger rating left him wary as he entered the Hotel Lobby.

• After returning to the landing for the fifth time, Luo Jun found a vending machine, bought two packets of Animal Crackers, and left one untouched.
• Luo Jun followed a pajama-clad creature’s hooves up the dark stairs while keeping five steps behind it, then emerged into the hotel corridor on the second floor.
• Luo Jun concluded that Rule Four was false and that buying crackers from the vending machine was the way to escape the Endless Corridor.
• Luo Jun used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets before riding the elevator from the second floor to the First Floor and achieved a Great Success.

• Yuan Shouzhen offered to open Luo Jun's meridians and force a breakthrough into the Body Refinement Realm, warning that failure could badly injure him and leave him certain to die in the mission.

• Luo Jun left his room before the time limit and saw a couple emerge from room 0317, while the door to room 0311 remained shut.
