The next day.

Shekh opened his eyes early.

The room was dark, and the daylight was not obvious. She turned her head to look at the head of the bed; it was 7:52 a.m.

His writhing body snapped him awake. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost eight o'clock. Should we get up after eleven o'clock in the morning to make it a twelve-hour period?"

"Let's just go with it." Shi Jinzhe also felt it was better to be on the safe side.

Shekh suppressed his worries and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

Three hours later, she woke up again. This time, instead of waiting for the time to pass, she turned on the light and went to the window to look out.

A "person" dragged their weary body past on the road, their figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

The sky was still dark, with thick clouds and no sun. The sky was filled with black ash, and it was lifeless.

Schech glanced at the blurry reflection on the glass, turned around, and saw Shijin sitting up in bed.

"Yesterday I first heard a sound of wood rattling, and when I woke up I found you were gone."

He got out of bed and walked to the window, coming to Shekh's side. "A ghost came in through the window, pretending to look like you, and I strangled it."

Did you hesitate when you pinched him?

"Yes, having a face like yours can be a bit distracting, but a fake is a fake, and there's no need to be soft-hearted."

Shekh nodded in agreement. "Don't hesitate next time. I hate fakes."

Shi Jinzhe smiled and said, "Okay, there's only one of you, there won't be a second one."

"What happened next?"

"After that, I waited in the room for fifteen minutes and used the Golden Vine to probe your location. The Golden Vine showed that you were on the sixth floor, so I went to the sixth floor, but the corridor there was not quite right."

Shi Jinzhe told Shehe about the human bone corridor and the charred corpses hanging upside down that he had seen, and even the quarrel between the couple in 602.

After hearing his story, Shekh began to recount his own experience: "The road I walked was normal all along, the fifth, sixth and seventh floors were all normal floors, there were no human bones."

"Maybe it's because I overthink things and become mentally unstable that I'm more likely to be pulled into another dimension."

Shi Jinzhe said, "At first I thought the human bone corridor was the real thing, but that dilapidated scene made me realize that what you see is not necessarily the truth. You said the high heels were at the balcony door, but until I stepped onto the balcony, the high heels were still left at the door of the room."

"It's a bit like spatial displacement. You think your shoes are still at the door, far from the balcony, but in reality you're already standing on the edge of the balcony, ready to fall at any moment."

Schech extended his two index fingers, placing them side by side, one in front of the other, with the tip of his left finger at the level of the second knuckle of his right finger.

She moved her right index finger, which was positioned higher up, and said, "What you see is this long distance."

Shi Jinzhe watched her demonstration and replied, "Actually, the space I'm in is the short distance on the left."

Shekh: "That's right."

"The false space successfully deceived my senses; in my perception, it was still within the room. Especially since before I saw the high heels, I also saw the woman screaming for help at me in the fire."

As time passed, he turned the ring around and mentally reviewed the events.

By comparing the information with that of Shekh, he found some clues.

"Based on the premise that the human bone corridor is real, I saw a charred corpse and successfully injured it, so I firmly believe that these two points are real. Therefore, when I see a woman in a fire, I will only think that she is a hallucination."

The combination of a rope that wasn't long enough and a woman who failed to escape made me assume this was a scene from the past.

With Jin Teng's timely dispelling of the illusion, I became even more certain that it was a hallucination.

So when I saw the high heels that inexplicably appeared at the door, I still assumed they were fake because their appearance was illogical. In this situation, my impression that the bedroom was real was reinforced for the third time.

“It was four times,” Shekh added, “and there was also the argument between the couple in apartment 602 next door.”

"Yes, four times. Under this suggestion, I became convinced that the scene I saw from the moment I entered the sixth-floor corridor was real."

"You fooled yourself, that's why the invisible wall is useless against you."

Shi Jinzhe pressed his hand against the balcony glass: "Yes, it's like two documents. I delete the correct one, and the system wants to run it, but it's left with only the wrong one to choose from. It operates on the wrong conclusion, so its logic will also be wrong. That's why I can jump out."

The bug involving the virtual and real spaces was exploited so well that it's no wonder some players managed to get lost in the dungeon world.

Shi Jinzhe thought for a moment and then said, "Do you think this vulnerability was created by the boss in the dungeon, or is it inherent to this abnormal world?"

"World, do you remember the crystal that fell from the sky in Block City? They all came from somewhere else. The same goes for this world. There is a reason why it has become like this. This reason also comes from the outside world, and it is powerful enough to turn a world upside down."

Shech's attitude was as usual, dismissing the system with disdain: "The system can't be fully controlled, so these forces can exploit loopholes to take lives. In the end, it's just too useless."

Shi Jinzhe gave a long "hmm": "That makes some sense."

With the problem in my mind having a general direction for resolution, and my mood relaxing, the feeling of hunger immediately arose from my stomach.

As Shi Jinzhe walked towards the table, he said, "Let's eat something first."

Shehe followed him to the table and saw Shi Jinzhe taking out food one by one. When she felt it wasn't enough, she took out two more desserts from her spatial ring.

Sher picked up a piece of mango milk cake and said regretfully, "The Golden Vine was cut into pieces by the two spaces. It was really not easy."

"It can be restored." Shi Jin rubbed the ring back and forth with his fingers, comforting Jin Teng: "By the way, when you passed by 602, did you hear what that couple was saying when they were arguing?"

Shekh nodded and swallowed what was in his mouth. "A man tried to take advantage of Xiao Zhao. She made six phone calls to her husband while she was in hiding, but the artsy young man didn't answer. They were arguing about this."

"Just like what I heard, this should be true information."

Shekh ate faster than usual. "Let's go out and look for clues after we finish eating."

Shi Jin thinks too much, and being apart will increase his anxiety. This copy is very much suited to his personality, and she doesn't like it.
