When the four of them ran to the corner of the stairs, they found that there was no staircase leading upwards.

There was only a concrete wall covered in bloodstains. The four men looked at the wall with grim expressions.

Bai Xue knew about Number One's power; without him, she might die mysteriously the next moment, not to mention there were three other newcomers with better physical abilities than her.

The other three newcomers were separated from the only seemingly reliable person, Number One, and they only had this seemingly weak woman by their side.

The three of them were unaware that Bai Xue was not as simple as she appeared.

At this moment, Bai Xue turned to look at Bai Jin and the other two, and said in a serious tone:

"Brother Li has lost contact with us. What do you think we should do now, continue on this level, or explore downwards?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three also looked towards the staircase leading down the other side of the wall.

The downward passage was filled with a strange aura, and the three of them shivered as they sensed it.

"Why don't we just stay here and wait for Brother Li to come back? I've seen those horror movies where the main characters get into trouble because they wander around aimlessly."

Bai Jin turned away from the eerie stairwell and spoke to Bai Xue with some uncertainty in her voice.

Upon hearing Bai Jin's words, Bai Xue outwardly feigned a submissive tone and spoke:

"In that case, let's wait in this passage until the mission time is up..."

Although she said that, what Bai Xue was really thinking was:

Hmph! How could I possibly let you live to see the end of this world? Two of my lord's men are enough. Even one more might be eliminated by my lord without his knowledge because of the sheer number of people.

Bai Xue's confidence stemmed from the purification talisman she exchanged for with 50 points in the Main God Space.

Purification Talisman: When an evil entity attacks the host, it is automatically activated, gathering a transparent barrier on the host's physical surface, which can temporarily block the evil entity's perception for one hour.

Redeem points: 50

The protective talisman, crafted by Golden Core cultivators in the cultivation world, is inexpensive yet surprisingly effective.

Feeling the purification talisman in the inside pocket of her shirt, Bai Xue sneered inwardly, having already sentenced the three newcomers to death without their knowledge.

Bai Jin, the leader of the three, nodded slightly when he saw that Bai Xue agreed with his opinion, and then signaled to his two companions to follow him closely.

When Bai Xue saw the triangular formation the three of them had arranged, although it seemed on the surface that they were being wary of unknown dangers, it was also a way of protecting themselves.

Seeing this, Bai Xue smiled to herself. No matter how much you guard up, you are still just ordinary people. How can you deal with those strange creatures?

Just as the three of them carefully opened a dusty door, Bai Xue's enhanced mind sensed a fleeting killing intent.

Although it was only for a moment, Bai Xue tensed up and secretly prepared to turn around and run away. She did not say anything to warn the three people who were observing the scene in the room.

Platinum, who led the way in opening the door, did not have the same enhanced spirit as Snow White, and inhaled a large amount of dust the moment she opened the door.

However, since the situation here was still unclear, Bai Jin just suppressed the urge to cough and only coughed lightly twice before stopping.

When Platinum gently waved his hand, clearing away the large amount of dust obscuring their view, the scene inside the room was revealed to the four of them.

Contrary to what the four had expected, the room was no different from an ordinary single room, except for the dim lighting.

The room seemed to be regularly cleaned; the large white bed on the left was spotless, as clean as a vast, white earth that had just been painted by snow.

Opposite the pristine white bed was a simple dark wood desk, so simple that it didn't even have drawers.

There seemed to be something on the table, but due to the distance, the three of them couldn't see it clearly, only knowing that it was an item inside a piece of paper.

Although Bai Jin and the other two didn't know what was on the table, Bai Xue did. Just as they had guessed, it was a note and a pen.

The contents of the note were clearly visible to Bai Xue's pure eyes, which had been enhanced by the main god.

"If you see this message, it means you've also entered this room. Believe me, end it now, or you'll end up like me..."

As for what he said, the following words were deliberately obscured with ink, and the content below was completely black, so even Bai Xue did not know what the following content was.

Now, Bai Xue has two choices: one is to believe the information on the note, find an excuse to leave the three of them, and not enter the room.

If what's on the note is true, then Bai Xue wouldn't need to use the purification talisman; she could simply use the room to kill the three of them.

The second option is to disbelieve the information on the note and follow Platinum and the other two into the room.

The advantage of this is that all three people's actions are under their control, and there will be no unforeseen accidents. The disadvantage is that if the information on the note is true, then even with a purification talisman, they might still find themselves in trouble in this unknown room.

Just as Bai Xue lowered her head in thought, Bai Jin turned around and looked at her.

Bai Jin looked at Bai Xue, who had her head down, and didn't know what she was thinking. She just assumed that she was looking down because of the dust.

"Miss Bai Xue, we are about to enter the room. Please follow behind us and remember to close the door halfway after we come in."

Bai Jin spoke softly to Bai Xue, then turned her head back. As for why it was half-closed, one reason was to make it easier for them to escape the room more quickly in case of an emergency, and the other reason was to block the view from the corridor and prevent unknown entities from discovering them in the room.

Bai Xue gently agreed. After some internal struggle, she finally decided to enter the room with Bai Jin and the other two, since she liked to have everything under her control.

Without even turning around to look at Bai Xue who had agreed, Bai Jin strode directly into the extremely ordinary room.

The two people behind him held tightly to the back of Platinum's clothes as he stepped into the room. Having been trained, they were already familiar with the most basic coordination. If there was any danger in the room, the two people behind him could quickly pull Platinum's clothes to get him out of the room.

Bai Xue watched the three work together seamlessly and secretly became wary.

They are definitely not as simple as they were when they first entered. At the very least, they are top-tier experts among ordinary people, Bai Xue thought to herself.

Just as Bai Jin stepped into the room, Bai Xue caught a glimpse of his ankle through the gap between them. Unlike most people, his ankle wasn't a full size smaller than his leg diameter.

Platinum's ankles were the same width as her thighs, as if she had no ankles at all.
