After searching room 12, there were still ten minutes before the downpour began.
That's enough.
Su Bai carefully pushed open the door to check if Lou Wei was still at the door.
Judging from the sound, it should have already gone back upstairs.
Su Bai immediately slipped out the door. There was still a sticky, black mark on the corridor floor. He avoided it to prevent slipping and quickly walked up the stairs.
At the corner of the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor.
Su Bai took a look.
really.
Let him find an unexpected gain in an inconspicuous corner.
[Obtained: Blue Crystal Marble!]
...
Crystal marbles are the same size as ordinary children's toy marbles, fluorescent blue, and crystal clear.
These marbles come in seven colors.
After collecting them all.
You can recycle them at the mysterious merchant who randomly appears in the Chaotic Streets.
A set of colorful marbles can be exchanged for a permanent skill point.
If you come across it, take it.
The spot at the top of the stairs has a very low chance of spawning crystal marbles; it's not a rare spawn point. It's just that it's easy to remember because you pass by it every time you go up or down the stairs.
We arrived at the second floor.
Su Bai stood at the top of the stairs and listened intently for a few seconds.
Lou Wei wasn't on the second floor, but judging from the sound, he seemed to be lingering in the corridor on the third floor, which was the place he was heading to.
He confirmed this after going up to the corner on the second floor.
Lou Wei is on the third floor.
Su Bai glanced at the system time in the upper right corner of his vision.
[Rainstorm Countdown: 9m37s!]
...
The time the guards spent searching each floor was not fixed.
I might stay for a long time, or I might leave immediately.
But Su Bai didn't want to wait passively.
Click!
A wooden dog tag in his belt shattered into powder.
A large dog, its tendons exposed and covered in blood, slowly emerged beside him.
"Go, lead it upstairs."
Su Bai issued the order.
"Woof!"
The Bloodhound barked loudly, its voice echoing throughout the entire building, and the dragging sound from the third floor immediately stopped.
The next second.
He ran towards the stairwell!
bass!
Upon receiving the order, the Bloodhound darted out of the stairwell first, paused for a few seconds in the guard's sight, and then continued running upstairs.
"stop...!"
Lou Wei let out a terrifying roar and chased after him with thunderous footsteps.
Once it reached the upper floor, Su Bai immediately went out.
The decoration of the third-floor corridor is the same as that of the first floor.
Nothing special.
But one of the doors standing on either side of the corridor was a glaringly bright red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
As Su Bai walked toward the room, he took out two props from his backpack.
The key to room 16.
And an exquisite pocket watch.
Soon, he stood in front of the bright red wooden door, gently adjusted his pocket watch, and set a six-minute timer.
Squeak...
Just as he was about to take action, a soft sound came from the door behind him.
He suddenly turned around.
Then, through the crack in the open, dark door, a pair of scarlet eyes could be faintly seen.
"Don't go into that room!"
It warned in a hoarse voice.
"What's up?"
Su Bai remained calm. Of course, there was something in room 16, but compared to the danger inside, for which he already possessed detailed information, he had never met the owner of room 15 in his previous life.
"I'm just reminding you..."
The owner of room number 15 had a red glint in his eyes. "If we anger the guy in that room, none of us will be happy."
So they were worried about the monster in room 16 going berserk?
Su Bai suddenly realized.
Indeed, once that guy goes berserk, he'll be far more terrifying than the guards on this floor.
In this area, only the Demon Flower can suppress it.
but...
"None of my business."
Su Bai stared at the figure through the crack in the door with hostility, his expression growing increasingly dangerous. He said coldly, "I'm going in now. If you dare to cause trouble outside, I'll kill you."
The eyes in room 15 darted away for a moment.
"You're the one who's going to your death, I was just kindly reminding you..." it said sheepishly, then its tone turned greedy, "If you can come out, could you help me bring something back?"
"Oh."
Su Bai sneered, thinking to himself, "This is your main purpose, isn't it?"
"What is that?"
"Your heart... If you go in and survive, you'll understand what I'm talking about."
It said softly.
"Get ready what you want to exchange with me."
Su Bai left out a sentence.
He turned around.
As he picked up the key to room 16 and inserted it into the lock, he simultaneously pressed the button on his pocket watch, starting the countdown.
Thump.
The door opened.
A blinding crimson light suddenly erupted inside the door.
A powerful suction force came, and Su Bai, who was prepared, did not resist and was instantly swallowed into the door.
Thump!
The door was slammed shut.
The third-floor corridor was once again empty. The door to room 15 had been closed at some point, and the silence was as if it had never been opened.
...
After regaining his footing, Su Bai looked around.
This is a living room, decorated and laid out almost exactly like the rooms downstairs.
But there was no expensive furniture.
Instead, a huge rectangular dining table was placed in the center of the living room.
A corpse lay on the dining table.
The body had not yet decomposed.
His clothes were removed, leaving him completely naked. His skin was deathly pale, and he appeared to be a young man in his early twenties.
