It shattered Liu Jingqing's reflection in the window glass, and then she cleared the game...
I get it.
Su Yu pulled Xia Nan, who was hanging outside the window, back into the room. Xia Nan untied the rope and said:

"The second route to death: if no player dies because of the light and the number of people, the curse's accompanying entities will come after us in order, based on how many people are nearby and how strong the light is. First they'll lure us, then they'll attack."
Su Yu nodded and picked up where Xia Nan left off:
"The solution to the first route to death lies in controlling the light and the number of people around us. As long as we can reduce the number of people nearby or dim the lights, at least we won't die outright, and we'll have room to escape."
"As for the second... if the curse fails to determine our status as dead through light and numbers, they'll use illusions, enticement, or intimidation to make us go somewhere bright and crowded. If we don't fall for it, their attempts to lure us will turn into attacks, and that's when we have room to act."
