At the entrance to the Dormitory Room.
After Ren Ye gave the correct answer, he heard the Heavenly Dao's notification.
[You are the first Player on Song Mingzhe's investigation route to clear the Zoo. You have obtained the one and only Song Mingzhe Autobiography Fragment numbered "1."] [Please reach Room 501 of the Zoo's Main Building within ten minutes and complete the Rewind for the mission target, "Song Yi."] [If you fail to reach Room 501 and successfully collect Song Mingzhe's Autobiography Fragment No. "1" within ten minutes, this fragment will disappear completely, making it forever impossible to assemble the complete work.] [At 15:00 this afternoon, once all Players have reached the Main Building, you may leave this Secret Realm together.]
A cold wind brushed his face, and Ren Ye slowly came back to his senses.
Holy shit, if I don't collect it within ten minutes, it'll disappear automatically?
He instantly broke into a cold sweat and charged toward the Main Building without a second thought.
The Heavenly Dao's suppression had now vanished, and all his supernatural powers had returned. He ran at an astonishing speed.
He had wandered around the Park District quite a bit tonight and checked the map several times, so he was familiar with the Main Building's location.
It took Ren Ye roughly four minutes to find Room 501 in the Main Building. He had run so fast that he had not even gotten a clear look at the interior. All he remembered was that it was dark and spacious, and when his footsteps repeatedly struck the corridor, the echoes seemed to fill the entire building.
The corridor was pitch-black. Ren Ye used a light source to confirm the room number, 501, then tried pushing the door open.
Creak!
A teeth-grating sound rang out.
