The bodies were in the wardrobe in He Pu's bedroom," Xu Huo said.
"How do you know that?" Fly asked, looking at him in surprise. "You went upstairs yesterday and said you hadn't found anything."
"He Pu came back too quickly. I really didn't have time to check then. I found it last night, and I got hurt in the process." Xu Huo pointed to himself.
"You fought He Pu?" You Qiwen asked in shock.
"Of course not. Do you think I'd have come away unscathed if I'd faced He Pu head-on?" Xu Huo asked.
You Qiwen's expression grew serious. "Did you complete the first task?"
Xu Huo nodded. With the players watching him, their expressions varied, he said, "I can't tell you how I found out, but the information is true."
"But completing the first task won't let us clear the instance. I'm sharing this because I want to know the truth behind the guests' disappearance."
"Isn't it just the people in the Ancient Castle killing them?" Wei Landeng frowned. "At most, the Dungeon Boss is exploiting a loophole in the game to go after the players. What's wrong with that?"
"If that were the case, he wouldn't still be here," Liu Zheng Ping said, irritably raking a hand through his hair. "I thought this would be a simple D-class instance. I didn't expect it to be this difficult."
"It's not just a matter of difficulty," Fly said gravely. "The Dungeon Boss never intended to let the players leave alive."
"We don't need to be so pessimistic," Chen Nan said. "Don't we already know where the bodies are?"
"Knowing where they are is one thing. With He Pu around, we won't even get a chance to approach the bedroom. Once we make a move, there'll be no turning back,"
