Number One was lying face up on the white floor of the room, listening to the red-clad figure outside the door banging on the door and making a tearing roar as if prey had been snatched away.

He lay there on the floor, still reeling from the forceful tugging by the middle-aged man, unable to process what had just happened.

Why is this person so strong? They're almost as strong as me in my werewolf form.

At this moment, Number One felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he had risked his life in the Main God Space to obtain this power, but now a random person had power similar to his own, and it seemed that this power was not even the full strength of that person.

While Number One was still staring blankly at the ceiling, the middle-aged man ignored the shouts from the red-clad figure outside the door and turned to Number One, who was lying on the ground, and said:

"Did you attack that aggregate of resentment on your own initiative? Don't you know that as long as you don't attack her, she won't pose any threat to anyone?"

Number One, who was lying on the ground, also came to his senses because of the middle-aged man's words.

A collection of resentment? Don't attack first.

He recalled that when he first encountered the figure in red, he had thought that it was best to strike first, so he transformed into a werewolf and punched her invisible body. Later, thanks to the power provided by the bread, he was able to fight her.

No wonder she relentlessly pursued me; so that's why. And the middle-aged man in front of me, who seemed to call her a collection of resentment, probably knows quite a bit about this place.

Number One couldn't help but think this, and his gaze towards that person also changed somewhat.

If that person is really familiar with this building, and as he said, this room is safe, then wouldn't I be able to hide here and return to the Main God Space after the mission is over?

Thinking of this, Number One calmed the stiff expression on his face and said to the middle-aged man in front of him:

Who are you? How do you know this place is safe?

The middle-aged man, upon seeing the person before him, not only failed to thank him for saving his life, but instead asked him who he was.

However, he showed no signs of anger and simply introduced himself in a calm tone.

"That's right, I forgot to mention it. After all, it's quite difficult to trust a stranger in this dangerous building."

Without waiting for Number One's reply, the middle-aged man continued:

"My name is Li An, and I am the captain of the exploration team of the Bureau of Mystery Investigation. This time, I am accompanying Lord 13 and working with your Imperial Institute of Mystery to explore this building together."

The Bureau of Mystery Investigation Number One knew this, and so did Number Thirteen, because when they first entered the room in this mission world, they found this information on a note in a drawer.

But what is the Empire? Since he was exploring with our Empire's Institute of Mysteries, how did he know? Even I didn't know I was a member of the Empire's Institute of Mysteries.

These thoughts flashed through Number One's mind in an instant. To avoid arousing Li An's suspicion, he feigned composure and said:

"How did you know I was from the Imperial Institute of Mysteries?"

"Ah, of course it's the logo on your shirt cuff."

The middle-aged man didn't doubt Number One's question; he simply pointed to the pattern on the left side of Number One's shirt and answered his question.

Number One also secretly glanced at his cuff, at the symbol that had appeared there at some unknown time.

Number One clearly remembered that his shirt originally did not have this mark, so it must have been added by the God Space when it descended.

Since he had just entered this mission world and was either exploring or running for his life, he naturally ignored the small mark on his cuff.

However, to avoid arousing Ang Lee's suspicion, Number One pretended to understand, nodded slightly, and said:

"Since you're the captain of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation's exploration team, where are all the other members?"

I don't know if the note was written by Li An. The note said that he was the only one left in the entire exploration team. But Li An has such great power, he shouldn't have died so easily. Besides, his current personality is completely different from the person who wrote the note.

Ang Lee, unaware of what Number One was thinking, simply answered his question in a casual tone, as if engaging in conversation.

"Oh, what a pity. I was actually trapped in this seemingly endless floor. As the leader of the exploration team, I naturally had to explore the floor myself first before I could lead the rest of the team to explore together."

At this point, Number One looked at Li An, who was speaking in front of him, with some doubt. He didn't understand how the captain could personally explore the area. If something went wrong, who would take command of the team?

However, Number One still kept these thoughts in mind, and on the surface, he still pretended to be listening attentively.

"Unsurprisingly, an accident occurred just as I stepped onto this floor."

Ang Lee seemed to be joking when he said something, but seeing that Number One's face was covered in bandages and he wasn't making a sound, he immediately lost his joking tone.

It seemed that Ang Lee felt uncomfortable standing for so long, so he lay down on his back on the white floor, just like Number One, and then spoke again:

"As soon as I stepped onto this floor, the staircase entrance behind me suddenly disappeared and turned into a wall that looked like part of the passageway."
