A starless night is like thick, still ink, drowning out all colors.

The snake's body, which had been gliding parallel to the ground, lifted upwards, and Sheh raised its head to look at Shi Jinzhe, who was about twenty meters above the ground.

"This is it."

Fold the paper airplane to lower its height and look down.

A very fine ray of reflected light flashed by, and upon closer inspection, a piece of glass-like material lay there, from which the reflection originated.

He adjusted his angle and flew around the transparent glass-like object once.

Shekh's head followed his flight path and said, "When I was upstairs at Gofi, I saw that she had placed similar shards of glass in her room, which look a lot like this."

She made Shi Jinzhe look up at the sky. "Only at certain angles can you see a faint reflection, but there's no light source here. Where does the reflection come from?"

"You mean... this thing connects to another dimension or hides some scene?"

"Yes, do you remember when we discussed why there are invisible walls in dungeons?"

Shi Jinzhe's expression turned serious. "To prevent players from getting stuck in the dungeon world due to a bug..."

"In the world we live in, there are already three known anomalies: the haunted high school, the chain-reaction car accident Jiang experienced, and the ghosts in the tunnel. Although they did not happen at the same time, they prove that there is not just one instance in a world. If there are instances running at the same time, the game will definitely isolate the scene."

Shi Jinzhe fell again, hovering at a distance of about two meters, cautiously staring at the beam of light.

"If the auxiliary items are the same as those used by Gao Fei when she uses her skills, does that mean that the game system can also use her skills, or that her skills come from the system?"

Shekh said, "I lean towards the former. Skills that can isolate space are very powerful. We've gone through so many dungeons, and we've only encountered one dungeon that gives you a space ring. The system wouldn't be willing to give away such a skill."

She bluntly mocked, "It's unwilling to even give players disqualified cards, let alone such a powerful card, so the latter is unlikely. I guess the system can also use the skills that players possess."

"Then we need to know how Gao Fei obtained this card. When Mom was alive, she could travel between different worlds. If what you said is true, this card must have existed for a long time, as early as the early stages of the game, or it must be an essential part of the game's creation."

Shi Jinzhe gazed at the city, now reduced to dust, though it was actually quite far from where he had started. In this strange, black abyss, he could see nothing.

But he knew that Gao Fei and Building B were hidden there.

The fact that they can still play the game normally even though the instance's anchor point has been destroyed is itself very illogical.

Gao Fei's suggestion to destroy half of it was risky, but the fact that she dared to say it shows that she understood the uniqueness of her skills.

He had never seen anyone mention such a powerful skill on the forum.

It's not that Gao Fei hasn't had the card for long and hasn't been known by many people yet, or it's that she intentionally hid it.

It's unclear whether it's Gao Fei herself or someone else, but the system must be taking this skill card, which may involve space, very seriously.

Shi Jinzhe pondered for a moment, then sent a highly valued skill into this dungeon...

“Shekh, I think we need to go back and see Gao Fei to confirm some things.”

"Okay, let's go back."

Without hesitation, the man and the snake turned back to where they had started.

…

Late at night, only half of the enclosed Building B remained.

Liang Fengzhi wrapped himself tightly in a blanket and nestled on the single sofa, while the scratching sound from the wooden planks across the door went on for a long time.

She wanted to go and see what was going on, but the idea was rejected by herself a second later; she didn't have the ability.

Her right hand was moving incessantly, as if she had ADHD, and she had been practicing for half the night how Lin Xian had taught her to quickly switch skill cards.

It will get harder and harder from here on out. Lin Xian has been crammed on the sofa for the first three nights. Liang Fengzhi is giving up his bed today so that he can get a better rest for the next three days.

It was dark outside. She leaned her head against the back of the sofa, wondering how Shekh was doing.

They didn't leave after the teleportation ended. The city's edge must be such an unknown place, it must be very dangerous.

However, she couldn't help in any way to deal with the danger. Thinking this, Liang Fengzhi closed her eyes, deciding that getting a good night's sleep and being in the best mental state to face tomorrow was the most important thing.

Three seconds later.

Thump, thump, thump.

Three light taps of fingers on glass were heard.

Liang Fengzhi subconsciously closed his eyes even tighter.

She lives on the seventh floor. Only a fool would knock on a window from that height. Don't even think about fooling her.

"Liang Fengzhi".

Liang Fengzhi was instantly awakened by the sound.

"Tell me which room Gao Fei is in."

She looked outside and her eyes met those giant vertical pupils that were emitting a purple glow.

Her upper body was reflected in her crystal-clear pupils, and the scattering pinkish-purple patterns resembled the underwater cliffs and waterfalls she had visited before, giving the visual illusion that the sea of ​​sand was flowing backwards into her vertical pupils.

"Liang Fengzhi".

Shekh called again, and Liang Fengzhi shuddered, finally snapping out of his daze from the gaze of that pupil.

"She's in room 502."

"Okay, go back to sleep."

Sheh swam downstream, and Shi Jinzhe asked her, "Of the four rooms you can't see through, which one is Gao Fei in?"

"502".

The eyes, seeking the truth, penetrate the first layer of concealment and arrive at window 502.

Gao Fei and Shi Yan were sitting on the sofa playing chess and keeping watch when they were suddenly startled by the two men.

She asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "...You can see it."

Could it be that the monsters in this building have some hallucinogenic ability and are trying to trick her?

Shekh: "I can see some."

Gao Fei took a few steps back, moving away from the snake head that filled the entire window. "This building is sealed off and can't be opened again, so I can't let you in."

"I just have a few questions for you."

"Sure, go ahead and ask."

"Is your skill card related to space? When did you get this card? Where did you get this card from?"

“…”

Gao Fei really wanted to say that none of these three questions were polite.

These are all questions that cannot be asked.

But those glowing purple vertical pupils stared at her silently, and she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Mainly because I don't dare...

Only by facing those eyes up close could she feel that unspeakable fear, so she chose to follow her heart.
