The young Xia Chuhe soon returned, and just like the Xia Chuhe of yesterday, she set up a small table and served meals to the elderly.

Xia Chuhe struggled to pick up food with her chopsticks. She wanted to speak, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

Xia Chuhe couldn't help but wonder what kind of mood she was in yesterday when she helped other elderly people bring them meals.

It's not about pity, it's not about sympathy.

She clearly distinguished between the fictional world and reality. She knew that even the elderly people in the fictional world hadn't necessarily done everything good when they were young. She simply wanted to use a legitimate reason to search everyone's closets for clues.

What about today?

Why did this young Xia Chuhe do good deeds? Was he imitating himself?

Xia Chuhe dipped his chopsticks in the sauce and wrote "Who are you?" on the table.

After watching the old man finish his meal, the young Xia Chuhe casually wiped the dirt off the table with a rag and put the small table away.

Xia Chuhe recalled the scene from yesterday. Did the old man leave a message on the small table? She couldn't remember and hadn't paid any attention to it.

Fortunately, the young Xia Chuhe still took her out of the building today.

The bad news was that all his companions had also turned into old people. Although they looked old, Xia Chuhe knew that they were his companions.

"Ahhh—" Wang Yan cried out anxiously.

“Boss, I can speak, but they can’t understand me.” Li Qiusheng almost stood up from his wheelchair.

The young Xia Chuhe pointed at Li Qiusheng and asked, "What is she saying?"

Young Li Qiusheng tilted his head: "Uh... damn toad, I curse you to never be able to eat swan meat or something, curse? She's been muttering curses since this morning."

Regardless of the true identities of these young people, they followed the approach of Xia Chuhe and others, and did not rashly harm the elderly.

The other four members of the group who entered the instance fared much worse; three of them eventually decided to make their move, while only one hesitated and dared not act.

Young Xia Chuhe used hummingbirds to broadcast a program, which the elderly watched.

"Zhao Huan, we're waiting for you outside. Give them a sweet dream, so we don't have to suffer." The person speaking also noticed the connection between the elderly and the caregiver.

Zhao Huan said, "Are you really sure? I'm worried that besides feelings, life and death are also intertwined."

"It's alright, let my puppet make the first move, let's begin."

The speaker patted the man on the right shoulder, and the puppet that was patted attacked the old man without hesitation, without even needing Zhao Huan to weave a beautiful dream.

The old man died, and the puppet left the instance. Before leaving, he whispered, "Safe."

"See, I told you it would be fine. I've tested danger with my puppet ability countless times, and I've never failed. Besides, you saw it yourself; Xiao Shu stole the documents from the archives himself. There's no doubt about them. Zhao Huan, are you really not coming with us?"

Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid of pain, and I'm still a little scared when I think about it. I'll wait seven days for it to heal naturally."

"Okay, see you at the usual place after we get out."

Zhao Huan raised his hand, and the old people fell into a deep sleep, with strange smiles on their faces.

The other two swiftly struck, severing throats with a single blow. Immediately, their faces lit up with ecstatic joy as they exited the instance. Judging from their expressions alone, they had obtained a very valuable reward.

The young Li Qiusheng said, "What concerns do you still have? If it really doesn't work, I'll be the first to try."

The elderly Li Qiusheng exclaimed, "Ahhhhh, I'm such an idiot! How could I be so stupid! I'll never speak carelessly again!"

Young Li Qiusheng frowned: "She really loves to swear. Can I shut her up?"

Young Li Yue advised her, "Forget it, she can't walk, she has no strength in her hands, and she can't speak either, she'll suffocate."

...

To the older generation, the Hummingbird broadcast looked completely different.

Beside a pale-faced corpse lay three elderly people struggling frantically. However, the three young people ignored the old people's struggles.

When the corpse's neck was slit open, despair crossed the old man's face. Overwhelmed by sheer physical strength and ability, death was all that awaited them.

Two of the elderly people had their necks slashed open, and the moment the blood gushed out, their bodies strangely exhibited a rejuvenating state.

The silvery-white, dry hair gradually became soft and shiny black, the wrinkles on the skin were gradually smoothed out, the blemishes on the face faded and disappeared, and the cloudy eyes gradually became clear—without light.

Those were the eyes of a young, dead man.

The young evolved beings were completely unaware of this, including Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan simply muttered, "Strange, why is there so little blood?"

...

The young evolved individuals found another way. They decided to cooperate with Zhao Huan to send the bodies of the elderly to the burial area and search for clues about their names again.

This attempt, naturally, ended in failure once again.

The evolved beings were at a stalemate for a time.

However, after seeing the blood splattered on the window in the video, the elderly Li Yue had an idea to pass on a message.

Previously, her sugar daddy, whether out of a perverse sense of humor or for some other reason, would occasionally use a less direct method of communication.

For example, by using the lights projected into the rooms within the base.

A thin sheet of paper was pasted on the windows of Sister Li's food shop, preventing weak light from entering while allowing strong light to shine through and create bright spots on the ground. Her sugar daddy would sometimes directly control the lights in the base, using the changes in light to project dots into the shop, and these dots could be translated into text.

It is said that this is a form of communication simplified from the old Braille. Although it can represent a limited number of characters, it is sufficient for daily communication.

It is currently confirmed that the copy will block conversations and text between the elderly; perhaps passwords or other unique communication methods will be useful.

Li Yue prayed for only one thing—that the young person had truly copied everything about her, otherwise even if she pieced together the message, no one would be able to understand it.

After a brief exchange, Li Yue determined that they urgently needed to convey two messages—

I am you.

If you kill me, you will die too.

Li Yue decided to stick the pieces of paper on the window to cast shadows on the floor. This wasn't an easy task; the caregiver would lull her to sleep at night, leaving her with only a short period of freedom in the early morning.

Since the dot matrix is ​​the shadow created by light passing through the part of the window that is covered, the older Li Yue needs to paste small pieces of paper in a flipped format so that the younger Li Yue can easily identify them.

She used the rice grains she had hidden the night before as adhesive to stick six dots on the window, signifying "I am you".

Li Yue prayed that the young evolved beings would recognize these words.

On the fifth day of the dungeon's progress, the young Li Yue pushed open the door and immediately noticed something stuck to the window.
