They declined to reveal the details of any two additional children.

They said they were afraid that if Cheng Shuang left too quickly, they would go without food and drink for a long time.

The girl wasn't disappointed about this; she wasn't always so lucky to encounter an NPC who had awakened their own consciousness and didn't harbor much malice towards her when entering a dungeon.

Du Jun was waiting at the gate of the courtyard on time. When the boy noticed his arrival, he opened the gate.

Cheng Shuang left the block toy gun behind as a small token of gratitude, and before leaving, she taught them how to assemble the blocks.

Just before closing the door, a serious look appeared on the boy's blank face. "Old Zhu said you'd better leave quickly! Last night, the village chief was so angry with you that he ate three extra bowls of rice. Food is rationed in our village; three less bowls means three less people's rations..."

Du Jun's cold, sharp eyebrows twitched slightly. Seeing the little girl staring with wide, round eyes, he suddenly realized that he must have missed something exciting.

Cheng Shuang: "Didn't you all not want me to leave quickly?"

"That's just polite talk, like someone who's been paid to do something nice!" The boy finished speaking, slammed the door shut, and locked it, leaving Du Jun and Cheng Shuang staring at each other, especially the little girl who looked utterly bewildered. Seriously, how can someone be so insincere?!

Along the way, Cheng Shuang recounted all the information she had gathered in great detail. Now, she needed to analyze not only the current situation but also how much of Xiao Zhu Jun's words were true and how much was false.

“It’s probably true, at least most of it.” Du Jun’s brows furrowed after hearing this. “I ran into that old man and his granddaughter again at the ancestral hall. His granddaughter went down into the stream and touched a lot of bones.”

"Aren't the villagers used to bury bodies at the bottom of the cliff?"

“Those bones are fragmented and very old, and they look like babies.” Du Jun pulled out a notebook about the size of a palm from his pocket. “It was found in an empty ancestral hall and was left behind by a journalist who was out gathering information.”

Cheng Shuang took it and flipped through it as she walked.

The above timeframes shouldn't be examined too closely, since if the dungeon refreshes, the timeframes shouldn't exceed this range.

The story is that a reporter learned of the existence of Phoenix Twin Mountain through some means. Initially, he wanted to praise the beauty of the mountain village and its waters, and also wanted to uncover the secret of how Twin Village could produce twins (or twin girls). However, as time went on, he didn't find out the secret, but instead fell in love with a sixteen-year-old girl.

Unfortunately, the girl was initially hot and cold towards him, shy and timid during the day, but cold and indifferent at night. However, the reporter was a passionate young man and felt that he should face his feelings and boldly pursue her. Eventually, the girl was moved by his devotion and they started dating.

In those days, any relationship not aimed at marriage was considered immoral.

When the reporter wanted to discuss marriage, the girl hesitated.

That night, the reporter wanted to talk to the girl about her mindset and why she agreed to date him if she didn't want to get married.

But he was attacked when he went out. In the instant he fell, he saw a figure from behind. This figure was extremely similar to the girl he loved. The disdain in her eyes seemed to bring back the night when she scoffed at him.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Shuang pinched the bridge of her nose. "He came here to dig into the origins of twins, so why didn't he realize that the girl he likes has twin sisters?"

"He probably thought of this before he died. There are many places where the probability of twins is high, but it is not possible for every family to have twins. This reporter may have been assuming that the person he liked never mentioned his sister, so he didn't have any sisters." Du Jun added coldly, "The sourness of being in love plus blindness."

The girl glanced at him sideways and said, "It's just jealousy from a single guy!"

Du Jun choked, glaring at her, "You've been a bit mischievous lately!"

The little girl raised her head and exclaimed, "We're so crispy!"

After exchanging a few jokes, Du Jun returned to the main topic, "This diary was left by the reporter's sweetheart. It contains love letters that the reporter gave her. The love letters were soaked in tears, and the paper is as fragile as you. After I finished reading them, I left them in the ancestral hall."

Cheng Shuang has chubby cheeks; this young man has been quite mischievous lately.

Then I heard him say, "The woman who was in love with him discovered that her lover had died tragically and was determined to die. Before the curse of her eighteenth birthday took effect, she took the initiative to find Zhu Jun and hoped to become the bride in the underworld."

As he spoke, she turned to the last page of Cheng's diary, which had somewhat immature handwriting and a few typos, and was roughly the meaning of a suicide note.

The above content is exactly the same as what Du Jun described, the most important thing being that Cheng Shuang had the word "underworld bride" locked in her eyes.

The main road was just ahead. After more than an hour, the villagers who had gone up the mountain had returned to the village.

Sun Han followed behind the villagers, with Han Meimei, who was pale-faced, and Li Lei, who was full of indignation, beside him. Qingyun was nowhere to be seen. As soon as Li Lei saw Cheng Shuang and the other two, he rattled off all of Qingyun's actions.

Seeing that Sun Han was unharmed, Cheng Shuang and Du Jun were able to patiently listen to Li Lei recount the events through gritted teeth.

When Qingyun realized that her companions were doomed, she secretly harbored resentment and attempted to push all the temporary team members off the cliff. Sun Han was already on guard against her, Li Lei was quite skilled, and Han Meimei was not a protector. She had little experience with such dark matters and was caught off guard. Fortunately, Li Lei was preoccupied with his girlfriend and managed to stop her in time with Sun Han.

When the truth came out, Qingyun was ruthless enough to risk his life to take Han Meimei down with him, which is how Han Meimei got her injuries.

"Where is Qingyun?" Du Jun asked.

“They fell down!” Sun Han shrugged. “This is suspicious.” Instead of focusing on escaping the Gate of Reincarnation, why would the maintainers want to argue with a native who has no conflict with them?

They are clearly from two different worlds.

Cheng Shuang looked at Han Meimei. The petite woman had a pale face, clutching her waist and abdomen. She was also limping because of an injured ankle, but she insisted on walking on her own so as not to burden Li Lei.

"Didn't you give Sister Han her medicine?" The little girl looked at Li Lei again.

Li Lei's expression worsened. "It didn't work."

"The injuries from the dungeon will heal once we get out," Han Meimei said, shaking her head indifferently.

“She can’t stand seeing others do well just because her teammate failed…” Li Lei clenched his fists; the pain of his girlfriend hurt him more than his anger.

Cheng Shuang saw that he didn't seem to be faking it, and wondered if he still wanted to stay in the Land of Death? Or did he have a way to bring his girlfriend back to the rest stop?

This thought was fleeting; the girl felt the key was Han Meimei, and Qingyun seemed to be targeting her particularly.

"Are there any enemies in the instance?" she asked casually.

Han Meimei was taken aback because she realized that the little girl was looking at her when she asked the question. She did not deny it, "Yes, it is possible, but the chances are very small, and you will get a hint when you first enter the dungeon."

Cheng Shuang lowered her eyes. Han Meimei knew their identities, or perhaps she should say she knew they were unfamiliar with the dungeon, otherwise how could she have answered without any doubt?

Han Meimei doesn't seem to have an overly naive and kind personality.

The little girl rubbed her nose and changed the subject, "Any new discoveries?"
