Xiao Tangqiu paused and said, "It's Lep."

Tang Mianmian's eyes widened. "Lapp? Lap! Holy shit! The guy in the photo is Lap!"

The others came over to identify him, and the man in the windbreaker said with a smile, "It is indeed Lap. It seems that this child is Lap Norbert himself."

"Fuck! How is this possible?" Tang Mianmian said with a look of inability to accept it. "You told me that the beautiful boy in the photo is actually that gloomy middle-aged man from Lepnobet? Even if time is a butcher's knife, this is a bit too cruel!"

Xiao Tangqiu was not very surprised. He stared at the photo of the teenage Lepnobet and suddenly found that Lepnobet's eyebrows and eyes were actually somewhat similar to Lili Marlene. But this was natural. After all, Laura in the photo should be his mother, and his mother looked so much like Lili Marlene.

When Xiao Tangqiu looked up, he found that Shen Yuan was also staring at the photo. His expression was as calm as water, and it was unclear whether he had discovered anything.

Tang Mianmian had already recovered from the shock of discovering that the handsome boy in the photo was actually Lepnobet. He murmured in disbelief, "The woman in the photo isn't Lili Marlene? Her name is Laura? Who is this Laura? Lepnobet's mother?"

"No..." He suddenly realized, his face filled with horror. "Why does Lepnobet's mother look so much like Lili Marlene? This, this, this...it's terrifying when you think about it!"

"No, you have the order of cause and effect reversed. You should say that Lili Marlene looks like Laura, not Laura looks like Lili Marlene." Xiao Tangqiu reminded Tang Mianmian calmly.

Tang Mianmian's expression suddenly became even more terrified: "Then...then Lepnobet fell in love with Lilimaren, could it be because..." He suddenly remembered the painting of "Oedipus and the Sphinx" outside, and was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything further.

Xiao Tangqiu nodded, looking serious: "Maybe it's because of the Oedipus complex, or maybe it's because of... the Narcissus complex."

Tang Mianmian: "...Meow meow meow? What the hell is this Narcissus complex?"

"That's narcissism," Xiao Tangqiu explained casually. He pointed to the third photo and said, "Don't you notice that Lepnobet looks a bit like Lili Marlene?"

Tang Mianmian took a closer look and was stunned again: "Holy crap! It really is!"

The man in the windbreaker was listening to their conversation. He was playing with a scalpel and said with a smile, "Interesting, really interesting. This dungeon mission is really interesting."

At this moment, Shen Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "There's one photo missing."

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned: "A photo is missing? What does that mean?"

Shen Yuan raised his head, his gaze passing through the mountain of puppets on the floor and landing on the wall he had started with. His voice was cold and emotionless: "The marks on the wall indicate there should be four photos, but there are only three here... one is missing."

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "Where is the fourth photo?"

Shen Yuan said calmly, "I don't know."

“But there are no other photos in the room,” one girl said, frowning. “All the photos we found are here, just these three.”

Tang Mianmian touched his chin: "Could it be on that monster?"

"But the monster has disappeared," Xiao Tangqiu thought for a moment and said, "Could it be in another room?"

"Then we can only look for it tomorrow. We don't have enough time today. It's almost midnight." The man in the windbreaker lifted his sleeves and looked at his watch. "According to the rules, we must be back in the room at midnight."

Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but ask, "I've wanted to ask this before... What exactly are these so-called 'rules'?"

The man in the windbreaker raised an eyebrow. "It's okay to tell you, but in this horror game world, NPCs can tell the truth or lie. The 'rules' are hidden in their truths. The so-called 'rules' are something you absolutely cannot break... You can think of them as the rules of the game. If you break them, you'll be instantly eliminated by the system."

"I see. How do you judge that?" Xiao Tangqiu became even more curious.

The man in the windbreaker smiled nonchalantly: "You'll understand when you become a veteran player."

Xiao Tangqiu had to suppress his curiosity, but he remembered the words of the man in the windbreaker - they must not disobey, otherwise they would be directly wiped out. It seemed that they had to return to the room before midnight and must not go out after returning to the room.

After Shen Yuan had the three photo fragments put away, he glanced at Xiao Tangqiu calmly and asked, "Do you have any medicine?"

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at the wounds on his body. He had just been pecked by the flock of birds, leaving many wounds. His exposed skin was covered with bloody wounds of various sizes, which looked very scary.

"I have a hemostatic agent..."

Before Xiao Tangqiu could finish, Shen Yuan interrupted him: "Fuling, give him a special hemostatic agent."

The aloof girl paused, looked at Xiao Tangqiu coldly, took out a black spray from her pocket and threw it to Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously caught the spray, but before he could thank Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan had already turned and left, leaving only his back.

As soon as Shen Yuan left, the others followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were left in the secret room. Xiao Tangqiu looked down at the special-effect hemostatic agent in his hand with a slightly complicated look. He had seen this special-effect hemostatic agent in a vending machine before, and it required a lot of points. He and Tang Mianmian's points combined couldn't afford it, but Shen Yuan just gave it to him.

"Special-effect hemostatic agent!" Tang Mianmian exclaimed in amazement. "Ordinary hemostatic agents work so well, how much better must this special-effect hemostatic agent be? Come on, try it!"
