There were many rooms on the second floor, and the corridor was also very long. At this time, Zhang Jing was still talking outside her door. The voice was very vague, but Ruan Jiyan was still a little aroused.

The footsteps were getting heavier and closer, and Zhang Jing was still crying outside. Ruan Jiyan froze for two seconds, then suddenly opened the door, stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Jing twice, speaking in an unhappy tone.

"Stop crying. If you want to live, go back to your room and lock the door. Don't make any noise." She said to Zhang Jing viciously. Zhang Jing, who was crying a second ago, was frightened by her attitude and looked at her with wide eyes.

Seeing her pitiful look, Ruan Jiyan was filled with depression. Finally, he held back his impatience and said to her, "It's late at night. I won't switch with you. It's not safe for you to cry here. You'd better go back to your room and lock the door."

Because Ruan Jiyan was the only one who specialized in water, his ears were more sensitive than other skill players, so Zhang Jing couldn't hear it, but Ruan Jiyan could clearly distinguish the position of that step.

The footsteps seemed to know that the two were still talking outside the door, and they slowed down, becoming slow and heavy.

Ruan Jiyan didn't care what the footsteps were trying to do, he just wanted to rush Zhang Jing back to his room.

Finally, seeing that Ruan Jiyan was not moved by her persuasion, Zhang Jing had no choice but to prepare to return to her room in despair.

Ruan Jiyan had no idea what this bug was, which was equivalent to a passive state where the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light. Ruan Jiyan did not have a good way to deal with it at this time and could only try his best to protect himself.

Watching Zhang Jing walking back to her room, Ruan Jiyan glanced at the staircase and quickly closed the door.

It was pitch black outside the room, and there was only a burning candle in the room, the candlelight flickering in the dimness.

After Ruan Jiyan locked the door, he took out a talisman and stuck it on the door, then walked to the bed, lay down, and blew out the candle.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and after walking up the stairs, the footsteps stopped.

Then the familiar little girl's singing was heard again.

"I was walking alone on a small road in the suburbs. The fog was so thick that I couldn't see the direction clearly..." The girl's strange singing penetrated Ruan Jiyan's ears. In an instant, goose bumps spread from the soles of his feet to his scalp.

The sound echoed throughout the werewolf castle, and the ethereal voice seemed particularly eerie and strange at this moment.

Suddenly, the girl's voice became intermittent, like the sound of an old radio, with electric current sound in each frame.

Finally, it seemed as if it ran out of power, and after it stopped at “very foggy”, there was no sound anymore.

Ruan Jiyan reached out and removed the quilt covering his body, then gently poked his head out to take a look, and finally got up and walked towards the door.

The players in her online streaming room were even more nervous, and some were even scared silly.

[Fuck, this instance takes so long, this is so perverted!]

[Is this a repeat? Why does it feel like we've returned to the beginning?]

[Warrior! I haven't figured out the situation yet, but I'm ready to go out and look for clues. I apologize for speaking too loudly to her before.]

[No way, are you going out to die at this time? Don't go, I'm scared.]

Many people suddenly poured into Ruan Jiyan's live broadcast room, all of them were studying this copy seriously... and her.

The number of bets on the cloud broadcast room is increasing, and the popularity is rising. It is already ranked 18th on the newcomer list.

But Ruan Jiyan had no idea. Her cloud streaming room was forced to open by the system and she couldn't feel it.

When the system tasks were first assigned, there was a task to start live streaming, but with so many things happening in the game, Ruan Jiyan had long forgotten about it.

Therefore, the bets they placed in the cloud broadcast room could not be converted into life points for Ruan Jiyan to use.

She continued walking towards the door step by step, then stood straight in front of the door, slowly raised her hand to the door handle, opened a crack and looked out.

It was still pitch black outside the door and nothing could be seen.

She took two looks and made sure there was nothing inside before she slowly closed the door and put the talisman back on.

However, Yunbojian seemed to have seen something incredible and was furious.

[Holy shit! Holy shit! Does anyone see those two red dots on the wall?]

[Fuck, I saw it. I thought I was seeing things.]

[No, you are lying, there is no red dot.]

[I really saw it upstairs. It looks like a human eye, but it’s blood red!]

[Fuck, is this dungeon so perverted now? Death elements plus horror elements, a rookie dungeon with lots of buffs?]

The barrage of comments flashed across Red Eyes again and again. The atmosphere in the cloud broadcast room had become a little tense. Everyone was nervous about Ruan Ji Yan, but she had no idea.

She is still confirming the information with the system.

[Are you sure that this game allows you to exit the game instance after completing the mission?]

[This is inevitable. The host can rest assured. After the task is completed, the system will count the task progress and task rewards. After the count is completed, the host can exit the instance and wait for the next instance to start.] The system's emotionless mechanical voice sounded, coldly answering Ruan Jiyan.

Why does she feel like she'll never be able to leave this world?

And... at the moment the door was closed, blocking out the faint light, a person walked down from the wall at the end of the corridor, vaguely a little darker than the night.

There was no movement the whole night after that. The night was unnaturally quiet and probably only a few people could sleep peacefully.

Time passed by unknowingly. I didn't know how much time had passed before the sky suddenly brightened up without any buffer time.

It was a long time before Ruan Jiyan opened his eyes.

Fortunately, this time the system did not have any task reminders, so she was able to sleep until she woke up naturally.

"Ah..." Ruan Jiyan struggled to open his eyes and stretched his waist.

Her movements woke the system up.

[Did the host sleep well? 】

"Not bad." Ruan Jiyan actually answered it seriously.

【……】

[You are so careless. You slept so hard that you almost drooled in the horror dungeon without knowing whether it was absolutely safe...]

Ruan Jiyan was listening and interrupted the system's voice of disgust: "What do you mean by drooling? I'm not. Besides, we're all going to die anyway, so what's wrong with me taking a nap?"

【……】

The system felt bored and fell silent.

Ruan Jiyan stood up, opened the door, stuck his head out to look, and walked out after finding that there was nothing unusual in the corridor.

At this time, there was no one sitting at the table at the entrance of the second floor stairs. Ruan Jiyan hesitated for a moment, then went to knock on other people's doors one by one.

As soon as she knocked on the door, Yin An walked out of the first room that was knocked, with a confused look in his eyes and messy hair.

Then several people came out one after another, with some emotions on their faces, some were panic, some were confused, and some were doubtful.

After everyone sat down at the table, someone finally spoke up: "No mission reminders for today?"

"Yes, there were no tasks released in the system this morning!" Chen Xin replied.

Yin An pushed up his glasses, squinted his eyes, and thought, "Maybe... there are no more missions?"

"Without the mission, we are still trapped in this dungeon. What's the point of having fun?" Chen Xin sneered at his ridiculous words.

Li Mingyue pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe..."

"Not sure what?"

"Maybe Yin An's guess is right. Our previous mission was not completed 100%, or there are still some things that have not been found, so we are still trapped here." Li Mingyue analyzed and said in a deep voice.

The mocking expression on Chen Xin's face froze, and he just kept listening to her, with his facial expression changing several times.

Ruan Jiyan widened his eyes slightly in the corner, and felt grateful to these people for finally having the ability to think independently.

Li Mingyue and Yin An's guesses were similar to hers. They both thought that perhaps they were trapped in this copy and had other tasks. And this task might require them to reason or search to find out.

Although Chen Xin's level was not low, he had never been one to rely on his brain to pass levels, so he could understand what the others said but he couldn't quite comprehend it.

In order to avoid embarrassing himself, he turned his head to look at Zhang Jing, and asked her in a frivolous tone: "Zhang Jing, what do you think?"

His tone and attitude clearly showed that he wanted to see Zhang Jing look embarrassed. If it were before, Zhang Jing might have already started to talk back at him.

However, Zhang Jing did not. She still kept her head down and remained silent, not saying a word.

Seeing that Zhang Jing ignored him, Chen Xin frowned in dissatisfaction, patted the table in front of her, and then said "Hello".

"I'm asking you a question, why are you so dumb?" Chen Xin was extremely arrogant. He thought Zhang Jing was afraid of him.

Ruan Jiyan glanced in her direction and saw that although Zhang Jing lowered her head, a little of her forehead was exposed and it was a little pale.

She sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Zhang Jing, and watched Chen Xin finally couldn't help but poke her with his elbow.

She suddenly jumped up as if awakened from a nightmare, took a long breath, and then came to her senses and looked at them.

Several people were frightened by Zhang Jing's appearance and were confused.

"Did you see a ghost last night?" Chen Xin looked at her speechlessly and said with disgust.

Zhang slowly raised his eyes to look at him, then answered him word by word: "No."

Ruan Jiyan was still observing Zhang Jing when her system reminded her: [Host, this person is very strange, as if he has been taken away.]

Ruan Jiyan lowered his head slightly, looked at Zhang Jing with a hidden gaze, and then replied to the system while observing.

[I also think that this person is very strange today. ]

It had been like this since she opened the door and came out to sit here. It was exceptionally quiet, and indeed very different from usual.

Ruan Jiyan suddenly remembered that last night she had pitifully begged him to exchange rooms with her in front of his room.

And the footsteps last night were also like this. At the beginning, they kept going up, but after she drove Zhang Jing back to her room, the footsteps stopped.

So, are these two things connected?
