"Keep it here for now, just return it to me before this cycle of reincarnation ends!" Hei Zishan said to Du Jun.

Du Jun did not refuse and nodded to put the card away.

Cheng Shuang then understood why Lie Fu and Hei Zi Shan, who were running around separately, could still know everything even though they never had the chance to communicate face-to-face.

Their risky decision to act so immediately, killing the rotting monster and pushing it off the tree to successfully divert the enemy team's attention, suggests they had learned the key points of her and her boyfriend's analysis and summarized the ultimate objective of the mission.

The little girl scratched her face shyly. She had once thought that the tacit understanding between the four of them had reached the point where silence spoke louder than words. Fortunately, she did not make the foolish mistake of asking.

"I wonder what Aona and the others' mission is? Why are they attacking us of all people!"

It's not surprising that Hei Zi Shan can't see through the truth of the matter; this isn't the first time his friends have been so foolish.

"It should be to prevent the competitors from rescuing us, that is, to prevent us from successfully completing the mission. Perhaps the room has also imposed certain restrictions on them, such as not being able to overstep their bounds and take over our mission, leaving us with no missions to take on!" In fact, as long as Aona and the other three hid the rotten monster, they would definitely not have a chance of winning. However, Aona and Motoko Kai are both proud and cold-blooded people, and they used a simple and brutal method, directly solving the problem with force.

"I see. So killing us is equivalent to them winning the mission, a one-time victory." Kuroko Fan pondered for a moment, her expression displeased. "Are they even human? The survivors' lives are already difficult enough!"

There was really no need to discuss the good and evil of human nature in an already cold and cruel world, so the group didn't continue the conversation on that topic.

Cheng Shuang's character, Sang Sang Guai, contributed the most this time, and was seriously injured while saving Lie Fu, so the biggest winner naturally belonged to her.

This time, each box contains two cards and two pills (one red, one blue, one green, and one white). Considering the number of people, the harvest is no worse than the previous room.

Cheng Shuang picked out a green pill and a card.

Timely feedback of card information:

Alice's Red Cloak: Alice is a very pretty and popular little girl. She has long, silky red hair. Every time her hair reaches her waist, Alice's mother will trim it for her. Over the years, the amount of hair she has accumulated is enough for her mother to braid a red cloak for her.

The red cloak gave the little girl unparalleled charm, making Alice increasingly popular with her neighbors in town. However, it also made her mother more and more worried that she would be targeted by bad people. One day, after Alice left home, she never returned. The wolf in the woods also disappeared with her.

Note: The red cloak can increase the favorability of the natives at the Gate of Reincarnation, but be careful, the big boss is also secretly watching you!

Seeing this card, Cheng Shuang was torn; whether to use it or not was a big question.

Everyone else chose one card and one pill, and the empty green box disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Next room?" the girl asked.

The three nodded.

Pushing open the door, Kuroko Fan, who had stepped out first, froze at the doorway. The little girl curiously peeked out from behind him and saw four people standing in a row outside the door.

"Huh?" Cheng Shuang muttered in surprise, "No way! Why are you still here?"

Du Jun picked up the little girl and placed her behind him, while Lie Fu blocked Hei Zishan's path. The two men stepped forward with cold expressions, ready to negotiate.

As a result, the four of them, including Qingnai, remained motionless, their eyes darting around.

"Three hours in the dark!" Kuroko Sen snapped his fingers, letting out a gloating laugh. Although he was unhappy with what Aona and the others had done, Kuroko Sen wouldn't take advantage of their misfortune to retaliate.

He simply circled the four of them, chuckling as he looked them over, then pulled Lie Fu away.

Cheng Shuang's gaze lingered between Hu Zi and Tie Lang, because the two had completely different expressions. Hu Zi was filled with indignation, but there was also a hint of worry that was hard to detect. Tie Lang's expression was empty, as if he didn't care at all about the outcome of his team's victory or defeat.

The little girl observed the two of them closely. She was very curious as to why anyone would choose to team up with Qingnai. The fact that he had taken people to the extreme was something that no one would forget after last night.

The little girl's gaze was so clear and open that even Tiger, who was trying to glare fiercely to drive her away, began to feel a little embarrassed. As his emotions relaxed, his gaze inevitably wandered.

Following his gaze, Cheng Shuang saw an inconspicuous object behind a vase in the corner. She ran over, picked it up, and discovered it was a one-inch photo of a little girl.

The girl was only three or four years old. She had a dark, tiger-like face, just like Hu Zi. She had two pigtails sticking up in the air and was smiling so hard that her eyes disappeared. She was very happy.

Cheng Shuang subconsciously looked at Hu Zi and saw a tall, imposing uncle staring at the photo in her hand with tears in his eyes.

Despite knowing that the two sides were enemies and that Qingnai had bullied her and their team more than once, Cheng Shuang still felt a pang of sympathy.

She deliberately glanced at Du Jun, who had walked to the front, and then at Qing Nai and Jie Suzi, who were out of sight. Tie Lang, who was next to Hu Zi, had his eyes half-closed and seemed to be half asleep, and didn't seem like a talkative person.

The little girl moved nimbly towards Hu Zi. Under his fierce yet outwardly tough gaze, she opened his stiff hand, placed the photo on it, and then closed it again. Ignoring his bewildered expression, she waved and ran towards the older boy who was already waiting for her.

Du Jun patted the little girl's head and bluntly advised, "Stay away from those bad people who don't value human life."

Cheng Shuang nodded obediently without hesitation. She only went to the trouble of doing so because of the little girl in the photo; that child was so young and had lost news of her father, she must be heartbroken.

The four of them broke into several more houses in succession. Lie Fu and Du Jun had both been injured before, and they didn't find many cards, but they did get a lot of red and white pills, which healed their injuries immediately.

Kuroko was relatively lucky and had no problems throughout the entire process.

Unfortunately, Cheng Shuang sprained her ankle, which swelled up and was beyond the help of Bai Wan.

The little girl limped and gave up on trying to enter the house and pass through the obstacle course.

Lunchtime had long passed, and the three of them felt no hunger. After taking the little girl to Si Rui's room, they decided to continue their adventure.

The others had not yet returned, and Si Rui was still fast asleep, unaware of anyone coming and going in the room.

Unlike her previous pale complexion, perhaps due to her body repairing itself, Si Rui is now sleeping soundly, with a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead and rosy cheeks.

Cheng Shuang bid farewell to her three older brothers, took out her textbooks, and obediently sat on the sofa to wait for them to return. Anyway, her dress was in her spatial storage, so she could change and attend tonight's banquet anytime.

The little girl was scribbling on the coffee table when her stomach rumbled. She suddenly remembered the planetary reward card and the hamburger that had automatically disappeared into an empty storage slot after she picked it up. She'd fallen asleep as soon as she got home yesterday; she wondered if the hamburger had dropped any stamina-boosting skills.

The little girl was eagerly anticipating the taste.
