When spies from other countries arrived at the Dragon Kingdom's live stream and saw Gwen behind Jiang Ran, they all speculated that Jiang Ran's talent was something like being able to make a contract with strange creatures, which might be an important reason why he was able to defeat Arceus!
Soon, the sounds outside the door stopped. After confirming that it was safe, Jiang Ran and Gwen left the room, which had no clues.
A light bulb hangs every five meters along the corridor, its light flickering. On both sides are identical doors. Jiang Ran looks across the street through the window; there are the same tall buildings, stretching upwards into the distance and downwards into the abyss.
"If you want to survive, you should just stay in the room. Coming outside is just too dangerous." Jiang Ran stroked his chin. "So, are there any items we absolutely have to come out to find?"
"Gwen, can you sense any important items nearby?"
Gwen shook her head: "Not at the moment. How about we check other floors?"
Jiang Ran had the same idea. Just as he was thinking about it, he looked up and saw a figure appear in the darkness directly in front of him!
He instinctively took a step back and saw that the man's clothes were tattered and that he was wearing a dog-head mask that covered his entire face.
"I am a dog, and 'they' are coming. Come with me to escape."
The kobold spoke, sounding somewhat anxious!
"Them?" Jiang Ran immediately pressed, "Who are they?"
"There's no time to explain, come with me!" the kobold beckoned. "Otherwise, you'll all die here!"
Gwen was about to follow, but Jiang Ran stopped her!
"What's wrong? He's a dog, which means he only tells the truth. Why can't we follow him?"
Why do people think he's a "dog"? Just because he's wearing a dog mask?
Jiang Ran's question really stumped Gwen!
Right, is the person in front of us really a "dog"? We can't jump to conclusions based on just a mask!
"Hurry up! We're going to be late!" The kobold was getting more and more anxious. He kept moving away, but kept staying within their sight!
“I remember the rules said that a red light would turn on in the corridor when we were about to encounter a creature that doesn’t belong to the Zodiac or the Great Sin,” Jiang Ran stepped forward. “I don’t see any red lights right now, don’t you think, Mr. Sheep?”
The kobold was silent for a moment, then said again, "No, I am a dog."
"Perhaps we can have a talk."
“Yes, we can certainly talk. I am the dog, guiding you to the right place.”
Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers in the live stream, Jiang Ran suddenly swung a huge fist at [Sheep]!
Snap!
The sheep was dumbfounded, Gwen was dumbfounded, and netizens were silent.
"Is Brother Jiang... finally letting loose his true nature?"
"Is this even possible? Won't that kobold fight back? When did these bizarre creatures become so easy to bully?"
Spies from other countries were gleaming. Didn't the rules say you couldn't attack the "Zodiac" without permission? Was Jiang Ran really going to dig his own grave like this?
[Sheep] came to his senses, gave Jiang Ran a deep look, and then neither got angry nor made a move, but sat down on the spot.
"Can we talk now?"
"Sorry, no."
This sheep is just being cheeky; just interpret it the other way around!
"What do we need to look for? What is the key to passing the level?"
Seeing Jiang Ran directly question the "sheep" in front of him, a netizen from Japan laughed out loud and then typed a comment: "Are you stupid?! Do you really expect these things to tell you the answer? Besides, it's a 'sheep,' it can only lie!"
He was about to continue his taunts when he saw that the dog-headed man actually spoke!
"The key to clearing the game is not the [Great Sin], and you don't need to get anything from them. The nearest [Great Sin] is not in the third room from the left upstairs; he has a very good personality."
The viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded. Could someone really do that?!
The kobold stood up and walked into the darkness.
"Wait! There must be other [great sins]! Where are they?"
The kobold turned around and stared at Jiang Ran: "I can say more than this. You can continue to tell me. If you keep asking, I will never fight you to the death."
It seemed that the information that could be obtained from the [Zodiac] was limited, and they were also bound by the rules. Jiang Ran did not continue to ask questions and let the dog-headed man leave.
We've at least obtained information on the first "major crime"—is it the third room from the left upstairs?
The lights suddenly went out, and the next moment a blinding red light flashed!
Jiang Ran opened the nearest room door and went inside with Gwen. After closing the door, they could not see a single ray of light from the corridor, which was why they hadn't noticed the red light when the person knocked on the door.
"So, the only way to survive is to hide in the room, but if you hide in the room, you can't see what that thing outside is."
If possible, Jiang Ran wasn't particularly interested in knowing what that thing outside looked like.
The Panasonic handbrake from the land of cherry blossoms has entered the world of ghost stories. Just from the name, you can tell that he must have a close relationship with Koji Gojiro!
"Dr. Ke, I will protect our bond and avenge you!"
By copying Jiang Ran's homework, he successfully overcame the first hurdle. Then he entered the corridor and decided to proceed steadily, searching each room one by one!
The room next door is a large toilet.
Upon entering the restroom, his expression changed visibly as he released the handbrake. He felt there was something strange about this place, as if a curse was hanging over his head.
"Forget it, let's just leave quickly."
A minute later, he was back there.
"We can't just leave like this! Maybe there really is some clue inside!"
Just as he was searching around the toilet, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, I am [Dog], those ghostly things are about to catch up! There's no time to explain! Let's run away together!"
He was initially suspicious after releasing the handbrake. He first drilled a hole in the door to peek at the person outside, and only when he saw the dog-head mask did he finally feel relieved.
There were no red lights outside, and this person was indeed wearing a dog mask, so it seems he really is "Dog"!
Dogs only tell the truth! Therefore, they are trustworthy!
After hesitating for a moment, he released the handbrake and remembered the urgent tone of the kobold outside. He knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the door and went out!
"That idiot!"
The observer from the Sakura Kingdom knew something bad was going to happen. Since he took over the position, he felt like he had faced the danger of a heart attack countless times. Although he had seen many people die, the new ones all seemed to be the same!
Before he could release the handbrake and follow the kobold to his death, he quickly used his second prompt!
