"By the way, you are not allowed to change your name again within three days!" Yuan Qingli reminded him.

It was more of a threat than a warning.

The mayor felt that the gleaming silver knife should not be placed against his neck.

Even after confirming the name change was successful, Fang Zhiyou remained vigilant. The blade was still pointed at the mayor.

The group exchanged glances and suddenly wondered what would happen if their names were changed back after they left.

"It looks like we'll have to stay here for the next few days," Yuan Qingli said with a smile.

"What about the delivery?"

“Let him call the constables to deliver it. We’ll just stay here for a couple of days.” Fang Zhiyou’s hands never trembled.

"Catch, catch quickly, what does 'quickly' mean?" the mayor stammered.

No one responded.

Bo Zijin remained silent, recalling and reorganizing the rules he had heard since entering the game.

Wen Yuning lay down on the soft sofa: "Okay, then we'll stay here for the next few days and help the mayor with his work."

"Dear Mayor, you can finally get some rest these next couple of days." Yuan Qingli gently patted the skull's face with a pair of scissors.

The mayor's silence was deafening once again.

Two days later, with the mayor's help, all four food deliveries were successfully delivered.

Yuan Qingli sighed, "If only I had come on the first day, it would have been so much easier."

However, it's just talk. If they don't figure out the pattern of the lights and the letters, it's useless.

Wen Yuning raised her head and snorted, "I already knew, but none of you asked me."

Everyone: ...

"So, what's next?" The butler had just come from the Dead Company and confirmed that all ten lights were on, but there seemed to be no information about the next step.

Just as the group was wondering why there was no movement, the wall clock struck noon.

"Clang!" A simple, ancient sound rang out.

[Congratulations to the player... NPC... Zi... Jia... for clearing the game instance and exiting the instance "Die Order"...]

[Dungeon rewards are being settled]

Everyone's faces lit up with joy; the settlement was finally about to begin!

However, Yuan Qingli, who had been gazing out the window, suddenly felt a sense of fear for no apparent reason, a warning from the depths of her heart.

She shouted a warning: "Get out of the way!"

Without giving it much thought, everyone quickly dispersed around the office following Yuan Qingli's shout.

A black beam of light, about a meter thick, descended from the sky and struck the spot where the mayor had been sitting.

The black pillar of light had no luster whatsoever; its profound blackness seemed to tear through space and absorb everything.

The beam of light lasted only a short time, about ten seconds, before disappearing without a trace.

Fang Zhiyou approached with curiosity and saw a circular sky above the ceiling, while the floor below was bottomless, and he could vaguely see the cold wind cutting across his face.

"Damn it, they launched a surprise attack right after the settlement, I almost got wiped out on the eve of victory."

The dungeon points are calculated based on the completion rate and player performance, and a total of 1500 points can be earned.

Points are used in the "Damn Strength Ranking" list, which changes in real time.

Player Yuan Qingli's current ranking is:

[Clear the dungeon and receive 50 Death Tickets. Trigger the hidden altar quest and receive an additional 30 Death Tickets, for a total of 230 Death Tickets.]

Before everyone slowly turned transparent and disappeared, Wen Yuning suddenly shouted, "I hope I can meet you guys again in the next dungeon! Hmph, I don't particularly want to team up with you guys, I just think you guys are kind of fun."

Bo Zijin: "I politely declined."

Lu Xingyun: "Don't be so cold, Mr. President. We'll meet again someday."

Fang Zhiyou turned around without looking back: "Never again."

Yuan Qingli looked up at the sky, wondering where she would go next.

Should I go back to the circus and become an NPC? Or...?
