Seeing All Under Heaven Returns to Fire and Yuanshi Tianzun look grim, with the latter even swearing, Sun Miaomiao approached with her little face taut and a slightly solemn expression.

"Let me see."

After reading the item information, Sun Miaomiao's round little face immediately fell. "The door can only be opened once every half hour. To open David's door, we'll have to wait until night falls."

After Zhao Chenghuang and Zhai Cai read the lock's information, both turned into statues, their faces stiff and motionless.

During the first half hour, they had opened Mage Dong's door. Then night fell, Bigfoot Red Chicken Bro died and was eliminated, and during the second half hour, they opened the Single-Heir Knight's door.

To open David's door, they would have to wait for the third half hour. But before then, night would fall once more.

And when night fell, someone was bound to die. The clues in the dead person's room would be sealed away forever.

After a long silence, Zhao Chenghuang said through gritted teeth:

"I suddenly think Red Chicken Bro was right! Would choosing the combat instance have been better?"

When the next night fell, no matter who died, the team would lose some crucial clues, making it infinitely harder to identify the killer.

Zhai Cai sighed, then smiled.

"No. If we'd chosen the combat painting, someone in the team would definitely have died. Trust me—in an eighth-level difficulty stage, Ju Mang and I could only guarantee clearing it. We couldn't guarantee that the team would make it through unscathed. But by choosing the mystery case, although we might all be wiped out, it's also the only chance we have of clearing it without losses.

"Isn't there an old saying in China? Take a gamble, and your bicycle becomes a motorcycle."
