"It's you." Xu Huo didn't rush to submit the truth. Instead, he thrust his sword forward, hauled the half-kneeling man upright, and pinned him to the wall. Then he smiled. "I was wondering why you'd disappeared in broad daylight. Turns out you'd hidden yourself away."
Yu Shuai's lips twitched with pain, but he couldn't break free, so he said, "I found the Vanishing Guest. Let me go, and I'll tell you!"
"Lying?" Xu Huo raised his sword.
Yu Shuai quickly pressed down on it and hurriedly said, "I'm not lying. I've already completed Task One!"
"Then why didn't I get a notification?" Xu Huo didn't ease his grip.

Xu Huo decided to take him at his word. "Where is the Vanishing Guest?"
"Most of them are just bones in the pond, but a few were preserved really well. They're inside the wardrobe built into the wall of He Pu's bedroom. He made them into puppets." Yu Shuai said, "Go check if you don't believe me!"
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Going to look for He Pu now would be suicide." Xu Huo sneered. "You've cleared the dungeon, haven't you? Why are you still here?"
"I haven't passed Task Two!" Yu Shuai had realized just how bad this dungeon's boss was as soon as he'd entered He Pu's bedroom. "Of course I want to finish the task and leave as soon as possible, but none of my submissions have worked."
"What's your truth?" Xu Huo asked.
Yu Shuai didn't hide it. He told him everything, because there was no point hiding it. This wasn't the
