After confirming Gu Xinghe's identity as the unlucky bartender.
Blake never mentioned Carol's instruction to take him to the solitary confinement room.
At this moment, he led Gu Xinghe directly into his security room.
After entering Blake's security room.
Gu Xinghe watched as he swiftly and methodically took out a number of bartending tools from the cabinet in the room.
The variety of base spirits and other ingredients for cocktails is quite comprehensive.
Seeing the signs of repeated use on all the utensils, Gu Xinghe guessed that the other party must have mixed and drunk drinks here quite often.
Meanwhile, thanks to Blake's skillful movements, a temporary bar counter was set up in the security room.
Then, Blake extended his hand to Gu Xinghe, indicating that he could use it as he pleased.
Although he hadn't mixed drinks for several days, Gu Xinghe had clearly developed his own unique insights into the preparation of "Misfortune".
Under Blake's somewhat excited gaze, Gu Xinghe's operation was extremely skillful.
After adding the liquor and ingredients one by one, he shook the cocktail bottle in his hand, making it fly up and down in the air.
Finally, under the cover of the makeshift bar, he dripped his mission reward—a special spice liquid.
In fact, Gu Xinghe could remove various medicinal liquids from the mirror space without taking them out along with their containers.
They only extract the liquid from inside and "take" it out.
However, locking onto more precise targets would consume more of his mental energy.
Meanwhile, the cocktail was finished, and Gu Xinghe handed the prepared glass of "Misfortune" to Blake.
But after receiving it, Blake did not drink it immediately.
He placed the wine glass inside a red food box and then carefully closed the box again.
Holding the food box in his hand, Blake looked up at Gu Xinghe and said.
"I'd like to take this glass of wine to Camo first, and then bring back lunch for the two of us."
"For the second drink, please wait until I get back before mixing it."
Seeing Blake wanting to give the first drink to Camo, Gu Xinghe smiled and nodded in agreement.
Watching Blake walk towards the cafeteria after leaving the security room.
Gu Xinghe sat in the security room, using information gleaned from viewers in the live stream to gauge the current situation of other players—
I'm dying of laughter, hahaha!
Watching Brother Gu run dungeons, I always witness the immense power of his connections time and time again.
[Elena: Did you take Gu Xinghe to the solitary confinement room?]
[Blake (with a serious expression): Brought it.]
[When you say "brought it," do you mean that Brother Gu bribed you with two drinks, and then you brought him food and "brought it"?]
Not only did they not mention sending Brother Gu to the solitary confinement room, they even took care of his lunch.
In stark contrast were the expressions on the other players' faces that said, "Gu Xinghe, you died a terrible death."
Listening to the audience's discussion, which was almost like a live broadcast, Gu Xinghe soon saw Blake return from "delivering takeout".
After the two ate the lunch that Blake had secretly prepared for the chef, Camo, they found out.
Gu Xinghe then prepared another drink called "Misfortune" for Blake and handed it to him.
"Mr. Black, about the solitary confinement room..."
Before Gu Xinghe could finish speaking, Blake simply waved his hand and said...
"It's okay, just pretend you were in solitary confinement for an hour."
When it's almost time, go back to your dorm and rest.
"Thank you, but I'm actually quite curious about the solitary confinement cell. I wonder if I could take a look at its layout?"
Instead of immediately accepting Blake's suggestion, Gu Xinghe gradually tested his limits.
After thinking for a while, Blake nodded.
"Okay, but don't go in. Just stand outside and look around."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Blake."
In fact, Blake's suggestion was exactly what Gu Xinghe wanted to hear.
But at this moment, Blake continued to look at Gu Xinghe and said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, those two kids, Carol and Lekaya, really like you quite a bit."
His gaze was fixed on the two dolls that Gu Xinghe had casually placed to the side.
"In that case, even if you were to go directly into the solitary confinement room, you would most likely be fine."
At this moment, Blake was not showing the same excitement he had shown before when "chasing stars".
Instead, it was as if she were mocking Gu Xinghe as an elder of Carol and Rekaya.
...
The security room, the solitary confinement room, and the student dormitory are all very close to each other.
From a normal perspective...
Initially, Gu Xinghe thought this was to bring the security room closer to the student dormitories in order to protect the already small number of students in the school.
In retrospect, the very close security room seems more like a means to better monitor the solitary confinement cells.
Aside from a quick glance when I passed by with Tao Changyi and the others on the first day.
And I would glance at this very imposing building whenever I entered or left the dormitory.
This was the first time Gu Xinghe had observed this facility so carefully.
The door to the solitary confinement cell was still locked, preventing him from seeing what was inside.
At the same time, black iron chains surrounded the gate, making it look dangerous and cold.
At that moment, Blake used the key hanging from his waist to unlock the iron lock on the door.
"Whoosh—"
The sound of the chains being stretched out gave one the feeling of a venomous snake crawling and twisting on their body.
“Squeaky—”
After the chains were removed, the two iron doors of the solitary confinement cell were pushed open, and a grinding sound, almost like teeth grinding, was heard.
From the outside, the solitary confinement cell appears as a black, seamless cube.
Only after careful observation can you see a tiny air vent at each of its four corners.
However, when Gu Xinghe stood outside the door and peered inside, the four extremely tiny ventilation openings were completely invisible from the inside.
Apart from the small patch of light that shone through when the door opened.
The space inside the confinement room is always in absolute darkness and silence.
However, at this moment, Gu Xinghe suddenly saw pale hands reaching out from the corner of the solitary confinement cell.
Those hands, which only reached up to the forearms, were completely bloodless, so pale it was as if all the blood had been drained from them.
But then, in the blink of an eye, Gu Xinghe quickly discovered that all the pale arms had disappeared.
The solitary confinement cell remained shrouded in absolute darkness, a darkness that could not be broken.
It was as if everything he had just seen was just his illusion.
