Around the round table, only about twenty newcomers and 'veterans' sat sparsely, barely able to eat, while the empty chairs around them were filled with line figures.

Laughter and cheerful chatter made the restaurant even more lively than yesterday. At first glance, it looked as if humans were completely surrounded by the line figures.

“They…” The little girl covered the words that were about to come out, her eyes accurately catching sight of a slender guest wearing floral shorts sitting at a round table.

Cheng Shuang recognized the pattern of the underwear very well; it belonged to the 'old man' who had reminded the mother and child on the seventh floor.

The little girl quickly looked at another round table, and sure enough, there were two people sitting in front of it, one big and one small. The big person was wearing a fashionable dress, and the small person was wearing an oversized elementary school uniform...

"Eat something first," Du Jun whispered, glancing at the waiter who was walking towards them. He then led the little girl to the four-person table where they had sat yesterday.

“Let’s go get some food.” Lie Fu grabbed Hei Zi Shan and nodded to Du Jun in a suggestive gesture.

Not to mention the four of them, even the other maintainers were terrified and quickly ate what was on their plates.

Judging from the seating arrangement, the two groups that had briefly allied last night were still operating independently. Xie Xiaoxian and Shao Yang, who came in later, glanced at the situation in the restaurant and then took a closer look at Qing Nai and Jie Suzi, who were engrossed in eating not far away. Instead of choosing their seats from yesterday, they sat at a four-person table behind Cheng Shuang and the others.

Just then, Hei Zishan and Lie Fu returned with a tray. The food was the same as before. The two of them had chosen the same food that Cheng Shuang and Du Jun had eaten yesterday. Regardless of the taste, at least the color was normal, the texture was good, and there were no side effects after eating it.

"Want to do something together today?" Xie Xiaoxian asked as she went to get food, while Shao Yang extended an invitation.

The four friends exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison. Lie Fu explained, "The more people we suspect, the more likely we are to attract the attention of the natives. I asked Xia Guang yesterday, and he and Si Rui didn't team up with anyone temporarily. They were among the first to find the center of the maze." Although the big boss was difficult to defeat, an 'old man' had been hiding in the desert using skill cards and hadn't been discovered by the big boss, managing to survive this ordeal.

Shao Yang didn't mind. The reason he invited Cheng Shuang to join the team was simply because Cheng Shuang was young and he wanted to repay the kindness of saving him last night.

"There's a costume party tonight, and it says the cruise ship owner will be there." Kuroko moved the empty plate aside and placed the cruise ship daily newspaper on it.

Du Jun pointed to a line of small print: "Would you like to participate in the personal itinerary arranged with the distinguished guest?"

Cheng Shuang sighed, resting her chin on her hand, "There were over a hundred new recruits yesterday, and today there are only... ten left?"

"Two-thirds of the old people have been lost, and half of the protectors are gone too." Lie Fu finished the last sip of apple juice, wiped his mouth, and said casually, "I wonder how many of these line-like people are natives and how many are human. Even their souls are toyed with after they die. They're putting constant psychological pressure on humanity!"

The remaining three people didn't say anything, quickly finished their food, and left the restaurant.

They meet here not for a grueling buffet, but to gather and exchange information.

Now that we know everything we need to know, let's leave early to save time.

Although the four did not agree to the team-up request, they tacitly accepted Shao Yang and Xie Xiaoxian's decision to travel together.

Just as the six people reached the stairwell, they heard an urgent male voice, "What are you doing? Stop! She's alright!"

"Xia Guang, save me!" The girl's voice was filled with panic and helplessness.

"Let go of Si Rui! Are you trying to kidnap us? We are guests, and guests are God! What are you doing?!" Perhaps because he was not good at speaking, the man became increasingly flustered and started to ramble incoherently.

"It's Sister Si Rui." Cheng Shuang exclaimed in surprise, tilting her head to see the scene in the corridor on the seventh floor. Xia Guang was clinging tightly to Si Rui's leg, while she herself was sitting on the carpet in the corridor, relying solely on brute force to delay.

The two men in white coats, their smiles unchanged, flanked Si Rui's arms and gently advised, "This distinguished guest is ill. Please do not stop us from treating the patient."

"I'm not going, I'm not going to see a doctor!" Si Rui's pale face was completely bloodless, there was a large patch of blood on her abdomen, and she was listless, as if she had been in a fight.

"Yes, we don't need medical treatment!" Xia Guang shouted. "We are guests, and you shouldn't force guests to seek medical care!"

“You are a distinguished guest, but the other guests are equally distinguished guests. This lady may be injured or infected, and it would be irresponsible of the other guests not to examine her.” The man in the white coat spoke politely, his four eyes fixed on Xia Guang, offering a forced smile. “Or, would you like to accompany this lady?”

Despite asking a question, a figure made of lines reached out to the rosy clouds.

Xia Guang opened her eyes wide, and despite her trembling arms, she stubbornly refused to let go of her companion's body.

"Xia Guang, don't worry about me!" Seeing that things were beyond repair, Si Rui sobbed weakly, "Go away..."

"She's not sick." Suddenly, a clear, childlike voice broke in. The two line figures, as if they could pinpoint the location of the sound, accurately turned their heads 180 degrees to look in the direction of the voice.

Cheng Shuang almost stumbled back because of this scene.

She shook her head with her hands behind her back, stopping the others from coming out together, and said confidently, "Big sister is not sick."

"Little friend, please don't interfere with the work of the medical staff," the linear figure said coldly.

Cheng Shuang grinned, "Big sister isn't sick, she's just on her period!"

Are relatives visiting?

"Yes, yes, I'm on my period, and the blood is from the smear. I'm not sick or injured." Si Rui jumped up suddenly. Even though she couldn't break free from the eagle claw-like restraints of the Line Man, she still symbolically straightened her chest, sweeping away her previous listlessness.

Even if she is seriously injured, she must act as if she is perfectly healthy at this moment.

The linear figure's gaze swept strangely towards Si Rui's abdomen...

"Whoa, I started rolling around in my sleep, whoa!" Si Rui insisted shamelessly, "You guys don't even control women's monthly cycles, do you? Can you even manage that?"

"Guest, there's no proof..."

"Oh, how embarrassing! Doctor, are you going to look at my belly in front of everyone? How embarrassing!" Cheng Shuang covered her eyes like a little adult, peeking through her fingers at the two slender figures. "Doctor, my sister said that girls feel uncomfortable when they have their period. They need to suck on ginger to dispel the cold and drink hot water to warm their uterus. Or could you ask the waitress to get some hot water for me? You must be working hard treating patients. My sister isn't sick. It's not good to take up your time!"

The doctors in white coats exchanged a glance. Their dark features revealed no expression, but their rapidly shifting eyes offered a glimpse into their inner thoughts.

Any hesitation indicates that there is an opportunity to profit from this.

Si Rui straightened her chest, pretending to be calm, but in reality, all her weight was on Xia Guang, and only he could support her so that she wouldn't fall.

Xia Guang dared not interrupt, afraid of saying the wrong thing and messing things up. Her not-so-bright eyes were fixed on the line figure nervously, and she dared not breathe.
