Unfortunately, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, and no shadows were cast on the ground.

Young Li Yue did not map the reversed dot matrix onto the special text.

She tore off the paper from the window one by one. There were six pieces of paper, most of which were blank, except for one piece which had half of the character "同" on it.

For young Li Yue, this wasn't a valuable clue. Nevertheless, she took the piece of paper downstairs with the old man.

“The light suddenly disappeared, and she didn’t recognize me, or maybe she didn’t recognize me at all,” Li Yue explained to the others, gesturing as she spoke.

Xia Chuhe made a eating gesture: "Put it straight, use rice grains."

Li Yue's eyes lit up. If once didn't work, she'd try a few more times; she was sure she could get her attention.

The young Wang Yan pointed to Xia Chuhe and Li Yue, who were talking, and asked, "What are they doing?"

"It looks like they're threatening each other." Li Qiusheng stroked his chin. "Behave yourself, or I'll eat you up..." and so on.

None of them knew how Li Qiusheng translated it, but one of them did make a eating gesture.

Young Li Qiusheng had a good idea today. She wanted to test whether she could use a thin strip of soil as a medium to pass through the door crack and enter the memorial room by blocking the crack with soil.

Li Qiusheng first tried it on the bluestone bricks in the living area.

She spread a very thin, fine layer of soil on the ground and touched the soil with her fingers. Then, starting from her fingers, Li Qiusheng's body gradually turned into sand, and the soilification slowly spread to Li Qiusheng's arms.

Li Qiusheng frowned, withdrew his supernatural power, and his arm recovered: "No, it's too slow."

This time, Li Qiusheng sped up, but the soil fertilization only reached the shoulder and neck area.

Too few parts of the body are in contact with the soil.

Li Qiusheng lay down, bringing his entire leg close to the ground to increase the contact area. This time, Li Qiusheng was halfway to success.

Xia Chuhe gave Li Qiusheng an idea: "Why don't you roll around in the soil first? That way you'll have more soil on you, and the soilification process might be faster."

Even with the issue of soil stabilization speed resolved, sifting through thin soil remains a difficult task; a slight misstep could cause Li Qiusheng to miss some body parts. Fortunately, rapid soil stabilization reduced the damage Li Qiusheng suffered.

As the number of practice sessions increased, Li Qiusheng's movements became faster and faster, and the problems he encountered became fewer and fewer.

Xia Chuhe stayed by Li Qiusheng's side to prevent any accidents or attacks. The others were responsible for looking after the elderly man and searching for valuable resources.

Time passed second by second, and the dim sun moved to the center of the sky.

Xia Chuhe said, "Let's go eat first, and practice again this afternoon. Judging from the progress, we should be able to succeed today. I have a feeling that as long as we enter the memorial room and solve the name problem, we won't be far from the core of the instance."

Li Qiusheng shook his head: "You guys go first. I feel great right now. I'll practice a few more times, and once I'm done, I'll go straight to the memorial room to avoid any more accidents."

In the end, Xia Chuhe stayed behind to act as Li Qiusheng's protector, while the others took the old man to the canteen first.

Sitting in her wheelchair, elderly Li Yue kept repeating the dot matrix of "I am you" in her mind. After receiving her food, Li Yue didn't eat a bite, but instead used grains of rice to spell out "I am you" on the table.

No one looked at her, no one read the words.

Li Yue banged on the table, pointing to the area where the rice was.

Wang Yan replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I'll clean it for you after dinner."

Young Li Yue finally noticed the grains of rice on the table. She stared at them for a while before moving to a seat behind older Li Yue.

Li Yue slowly said, "I think... I know what she means."

On the other hand, thanks to Li Qiusheng's unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in moving the location via a dirt road.

Li Qiusheng, without even having time to eat, excitedly carried soil to the funeral area.

Unsurprisingly, the two encountered Bao Huo at the entrance of the funeral area.

Bao Huo saw the two of them and said impatiently, "Why do you two keep coming over these past few days? Don't you find it unlucky?"

Xia Chuhe said with a forced smile, "The three people who died yesterday were from our hometown. We wanted to go and pay our respects."

Bao Huo narrowed his eyes: "Sure, go register with Sister Ye first, and come back after the review is approved."

"How long does it typically take to pass the review?"

Bao Huo yawned: "About ten days."

Xia Chuhe: "..."

It was absolutely intentional!

Xia Chuhe winked at Li Qiusheng, then continued chatting and joking with Bao Huo: "Can I go to the crematorium? You know, the old man I'm taking care of..."

The crematorium seemed to have no secrets, and Bao Huo didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll take you there."

While muttering "What a hassle," Bao Huo led the way for Xia Chuhe.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Qiusheng piled the soil he had carried into the crack of the memorial room door, and using the soil as a means to crawl into the memorial room with his soil-transforming supernatural ability.

Li Qiusheng glanced at the photo wall, but it was so dazzling that he couldn't make out anything.

Fortunately, Xia Chuhe had mentioned that we could directly search for the names we had obtained so far.

The certificates bear the names of Zhou Mei and Zhao Dazhuang.

Yu Cheng'an in his diary.

Peng Wei on her work ID.

The computer screen is always on, and the interface looks very simple.

Li Qiusheng found the name and search bar and entered Zhou Mei.

Status: Dead

Date: December 31, 754 AD

Enter Zhao Dazhuang —

Status: Dead

Date: December 31, 758 AD

Entered in Cheng'an —

Status: Dead

Date: August 9, 758 AD

Enter Peng Wei —

Status: Dead

Date: April 29, 759 AD

The entered names were those of caregivers, but they were all listed as deceased, and their times of death were surprisingly consistent with the elderly people they were caring for!

Li Qiusheng felt a chill run down her spine. She finally abandoned the unrealistic idea of ​​"killing the old man to escape the instance" and faced reality.

"I am you."

Li Yue frowned as she read those three words aloud.

"What?" The three seemingly random words left Lu Dangui and the others confused.

Li Yue explained the existence of dot matrix characters to Lu Danggui and the others. She pointed to the grains of rice on the table: "If we consider the grains of rice as the protrusions in the dot matrix, these grains of rice just happen to form the meaning of 'I am you'."

Li Yue shifted her plate uneasily: "I'm overthinking it. It's probably just a coincidence, right?"

Lu Dangui did not take this as a coincidence. She looked at the elderly Li Yue and asked, "Are you Li Yue?"

The elderly Li Yue nodded vigorously, and fearing that the copy might misinterpret her actions, she added another "Yes."

Lu Dangui then asked, "Are your lives related to ours?"

"yes."

"If you die, we will die too?"

"yes."

The elderly Li Yue tapped "Yes" twice in succession, then her bent fingers suddenly paused and disappeared from the spot.

Young Li Yue looked at the empty wheelchair with a complicated expression, a piece of paper left on it.
