Wang Chengren shrank back, as if he had finally recognized his situation. He was alive only because Wang Xiaohui had a kind heart. Now that she was trapped in the Dungeon, he had blocked Wei Mang and the others from rescuing her. When she got out, she would probably settle the score with him!
Xu Huo paid him no more attention and instead pondered the Dungeon.
The Dungeon had appeared in the Wang Family Manor, so it was probably connected to the Wang family somehow. But what had truly brought it into being was likely the manor's history. In the language of the game, ghosts and monsters were closer to some kind of energy being. There were so many reflective objects in the manor, yet no shadows seemed to have appeared apart from those of the people trapped inside. Otherwise, this place would have been overrun with shadows long ago.
Could it have something to do with how long someone spent looking in a mirror?
That didn't seem right, either. Ever since they entered the manor, reflective objects had been everywhere. People could see their shadows in different objects almost every moment, and the amount of time was the same for everyone.
But if it depended entirely on mental strength, Wang Chengren wouldn't have made it to him alive.
"Pop!" The painted woman tossed a little snack into the fish tank outside. The fish swimming in the water scrambled for it. They could tell where the food had come from, so they gathered in the direction of the painted woman and refused to leave.
The painted woman ate the rest of the snack in one bite. Her gaze fell on a painting hanging on the wall. She walked over and tapped it, then took it down and turned it around.
