That night, neither of them could fall asleep for a long time.
Even if it's possible to sense that 024 suddenly assigning Si Yan a solo mission, the purpose is very likely to try and destroy his will.
In the world of dungeons, the rapidly declining mental strength is more important than the danger to one's life; being assimilated or dying is an outcome that no player wants to face.
"The dog system is the rule-maker, and it must also abide by the rules themselves."
Jiang Nuo nestled sleepily in Si Yan's arms, and after a moment touched his heart, pressing her palm against his.
"It pains me to see your soul imprisoned."
The intimate words were like whispers in his ear. Si Yan hugged his lover tightly, ruffled his slightly long curly hair, gently rubbed the top of his head, and then lowered his head to kiss his forehead.
They are bound by a bond from the soul; neither of them can die.
"Go to sleep, Nuonuo."
It was nearly midnight, on other floors of the hotel.
Security guards in black uniforms and dark blue shirts wandered through different buildings of the hotel, never bumping into each other.
Who opened the door at night?
The footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Hello, hotel security." The security guard turned around and gave the person who opened the door a faint smile.
The young man who opened the door saw the man in dark blue clothes and breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed the security guard's hand anxiously and said, "There's a monster! There's a monster outside the window!"
The hotel's rules state that you can ask for help as long as you can ensure that the security guard is wearing a dark blue uniform!
The monsters in the high-level dungeons are too powerful; he was forced to separate from his teammates, and he definitely couldn't handle it alone!
"Of course, please leave it to me, sir."
The security guard entered the room wielding a stun gun. The player, terrified, hid behind him, following closely behind. The door closed tightly in the darkness.
Minutes later, the smell of blood seeped from the crack in the door and was absorbed by the carpet in the hallway.
The house number, which had been covered in black, was now fully visible.

The next day.
Shortly after dawn, Jiang Nuo woke up with a start and sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.
" Nuonuo, what's wrong?"
Embraced by a warm embrace from behind, Jiang Nuo shook her head, relaxed her tense body, and nestled into Si Yan's arms.
"It's nothing... Oh, right, the cloth bag."
Jiang Nuo suddenly remembered the thing she found by the elevator last night, and took it out to look at it with Si Yan.
The fabric also bore the association's exclusive symbols. Si Yan glanced at it twice, then her gaze focused on the strip of paper that Jiang Nuo had unfolded.
The handwriting was messy, and many meaningless symbols were used to avoid being discovered.
Si Yan observed for a moment, then pondered, "Don't trust humans; players are not allies."
Jiang Nuo nestled in his arms, her heterochromatic eyes blinking repeatedly.
"Is this to define other players as adversaries as well?"
Wouldn't that mean they'd have to fight even more people?
Si Yan couldn't help but recall the memories she had seen in the cage, her voice growing heavy, "In the end, what caused their plan to fail was the players themselves."
Jiang Daoran, Si Xun, and even the entire team members never expected that the player would be the one to betray them in the end.
Why are there so many players unwilling to return to the real world?
They had no answer yet, but from this moment on, the path to the end became a little clearer.
Trust no one but each other and your teammates.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan exchanged a glance and then removed the Spiritual Power barrier.
[ Si Yan!! I finally saw you!!!]
"Holy crap, my heart that was hanging in suspense all night is finally at ease..."
As long as we, as a couple, are doing well, all problems will be solved!
"Is someone dead? Tuoba Hong is knocking on the door so aggressively."
The door opened, and Tuoba Hong and Zhou Ling, who lived on the same floor, stood outside, speaking rapidly.
"A player violated the rules last night."
Zhou Ling: "Ninth floor."
Zhang Quan was listening attentively when he suddenly noticed something strange about Zhao Si's door, which was directly opposite him.
After looking at it for two seconds, he stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"House number."
Following his gaze, the last digit of the previously obscured four-character address appeared.
Jiang Nuo looked back at her own again; nothing had changed.
Si Yan: "Did Zhao Si do something different from you guys last night?"
Zhang Quan frowned as he recalled the events, glancing at the door of Qiu Su's room next door, which remained unchanged.
"Security guard."
Zhang Quan said, "When Brother Nuo came back last night, the security guards in black uniforms conducted a second room check, and only Zhao Si refused to be checked."
Tuoba Hong hissed, unsure, and said, "The player who died on the seventh floor, it seems, was also killed because of the security guards or something."
Jiang Nuo: "Let's go down and take a look."
--
The players were able to communicate quickly, and by the time Jiang Nuo and his group reached the seventh-floor corridor, a large crowd had already gathered.
Feimina went over to them and whispered what she had just heard.
The dead man was a young man with a thick beard. His body was tied to a door panel, his limbs, whose bones had been broken, served as the knots binding his body. His head drooped against the door frame, which could not be closed, and his neck was deeply stuck inside.
Holy crap... what an amazing way to die.
"Humans couldn't have done that, could they really have been killed by monsters?"
