Mo Shuwan immediately pulled Liu Dongcheng back to where they had been standing, and shone a flashlight on the red mark. After about two minutes, the bloodstains slowly disappeared under their watchful eyes.
Mo Shuwan sighed, "No trace will be left... which means that even if someone dies here, we will have no way of knowing."
As she spoke, Mo Shuwan looked through several passageways. They were spotless, without a trace, and without even the slightest odor. The tranquility was unsettling.
Liu Dongcheng was a man of few words. He opened his mouth but felt he didn't need to offer any opinion, so he just grunted and stood behind Mo Shuwan waiting for her decision. It wasn't until he followed her into a passage that he suddenly realized how dangerous his decision had been.
I've never trusted anyone this much before, even if her choice is wrong...
Liu Dongcheng looked at Mo Shuwan walking ahead with a flashlight, his gaze lingering on the top of her head for a few seconds. He couldn't help but reach out and vaguely compare the height difference between Mo Shuwan and himself.
Hmm... the difference is quite large...
He could hardly believe that he would subconsciously trust a woman, especially one he wasn't even close enough to entrust his back to!
Unaware of what Liu Dongcheng was thinking, Mo Shuwan quickened her pace and walked forward through the passage. The further she went, the more terrifying she would find this place, where no trace could be left, because you had no idea whether you had walked this path before.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the crossroads again. Mo Shuwan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Do you think we're choosing a path we've never taken before, or are we going back to where we started?"
Before Mo Shuwan could speak, Liu Dongcheng had already looked through all the passages and shook his head helplessly, "I can't see anything, there's no trace at all."
This is the scariest part.
No matter how far or how long they travel, they will always have to make this choice every now and then. And so far, they haven't even encountered a single person. The frustration of not being able to see the end in sight is bound to well up in their hearts.
"We only have the leftmost passage left to choose from, right?"
"Um."
"Let's go."
In the secret room, the cloaked figure, still in the same pose as before, held a pen and paper and drew an "X" after Mo Shuwan's name. He was about to leave when he noticed a scene on the other side out of the corner of his eye: Zhou Quansheng had his face pressed tightly against the wall with a blank expression. A moment later, Zhou Quansheng disappeared into the passage.
The cloaked figure seemed to pause for a moment, then wrote Zhou Quansheng's name below Mo Shuwan's.
He abandoned his plan to leave and continued to observe from the center of the secret room.
Zhou Quansheng, who emerged from the wall, looked at the room before him and smiled, "I see."
He looked at the wall he had just come from, patted it, and then began to search the room. Although there seemed to be a lot of things inside, they were almost all junk. Zhou Quansheng didn't care about these things at all. After searching and finding no clues, he simply opened the door and prepared to leave.
Seeing Lin Guaiji standing at the door, Zhou Quansheng shrugged. "What a coincidence."
Lin Guaiji remained silent.
After glancing at him for a few seconds, Zhou Quansheng voluntarily gave up his spot by the door so that Lin Guaiji could enter the room. He had no interest in acting with Lin Guaiji and did not want to waste any more time here. He planned to leave after Lin Guaiji entered the room.
When a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, Zhou Quansheng's face turned extremely pale. He reacted quickly and grabbed the hand, but he still couldn't stop it from burrowing into his stomach.
Lin Guaiji turned his head to look at Zhou Quansheng, his eyes calm.
Zhou Quansheng's breathing grew weaker and weaker, and his legs gradually went limp. However, Lin Guaiji seemed to have no intention of killing him at all. He spared Zhou Quansheng's breath, withdrew his hand, wiped the blood off his hands on Zhou Quansheng's clothes, and stepped out of the room into the dark passage.
The cloaked figure in the secret room crossed out Zhou Quansheng's name and turned his gaze back to where Mo Shuwan and Liu Dongcheng were.
"Hold this for me."
Liu Dongcheng reached out and took the flashlight from Mo Shuwan. Seeing her anxious expression, he also looked at the wall she was looking at. "What did you find?"
“This wall is softer than the one we just saw.” Mo Shuwan walked back and forth in the passage, patting the wall with her palms. She wasn’t tall enough, so she didn’t touch the higher parts. She checked all the parts she could reach. “Take a look at the wall above. Is it this soft too?”
Liu Dongcheng walked over and patted the wall. "It's hard."
Mo Shuwan nodded and stood facing the wall without saying anything more. She suddenly thought of the passage she had come in through. At that time, her attention was completely focused on leaving no trace around her, but she had overlooked the things that made all traces disappear.
Rewards Bureau —
Since the game rules clearly state that it is a reward game, then letting them into this place should be a treasure hunt-like place. If they just keep going forward as usual, they will probably wander around in these passages forever.
"They're all hard."
“Let’s try it first. I think these walls and floors are the key this time.” After saying that, Mo Shuwan pinched the wound on her arm hard, dipped her finger in some blood and smeared it on the wall. “I now suspect that we haven’t even entered the real place since we came in.”
"Regardless of whether this is really the Rewards Bureau or not, we've been in here for so long, we can't have gone without encountering anything. The other passengers are nowhere to be seen either. No matter how fast they are, they can't just disappear completely. We weren't slow just now, with so many people, we're bound to run into one or two, right?"
Indeed, since they came in, apart from walking around in these passages, nothing good or bad has happened to them, which is quite unusual when you think about it.
Liu Dongcheng still didn't quite understand. "You think these walls are the keys to the real place?"
Mo Shuwan nodded, "That's a possibility."
Mo Shuwan stared intently at the wall in front of her. After a few minutes, she saw the blood seep into the wall. When she reached out to touch it, the area seemed much softer than before. She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and pushed her palm inward forcefully.
Liu Dongcheng, who was standing next to her with a flashlight, watched as Mo Shuwan's hand was swallowed—oh, no, she herself pressed her hand into the wall.
Mo Shuwan was stunned for two seconds, then turned to look at Liu Dongcheng with a look of surprise and said very quickly, "It really works! Quick, hurry up!"
Seeing that Mo Shuwan had entered the wall and was about to disappear, Liu Dongcheng quickly reached out and pressed his hand against the wall. When he felt a suction force pulling him, he instinctively tried to struggle, but Mo Shuwan, who had already gone out, reached out and pulled him back.
