Chen Junnan and Cui Fourteen walked out of the room holding the item. The route they chose was “Five,” “Six,” “Seven,” “Eight.” When they reached the easternmost side of the building in a straight line, they would then head south through “Twelve” to reach “Sixteen,” requiring a total of five turns.

Now the two were standing in Room “Six,” about to head to Room “Seven.” When they opened the door to “Seven” somewhat anxiously, they felt puzzled again.

This room was completely empty. There was no small table or any items in the center. It looked like an ordinary room. The walls here were stained with much dried, blackened blood, and the ground could barely show the blue-green reflective paint.

“There’s nothing here?” Chen Junnan looked around and found it was indeed an ordinary room. “Could that tuft of black hair be there to mislead us?”

“Leader, we can’t think that way,” Cui Fourteen shook her head. “Including the ‘starting point,’ we’ve only entered four rooms in total. There’s still more than half the rooms we haven’t been to yet.”

“That’s true,” Chen Junnan also nodded. The two waited for the turn to end, then continued forward.

At this time, in a place separated by several rooms, Earth-Rabbit standing at the starting point was already somewhat unable to stay put.

He had opened the room door twice in succession and could only see Jiang Shi’s very sleepy eyes.

“No… are you sick?” Earth-Rabbit asked irritably. “Who taught you to play the game like this?”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Shi tucked both hands together, squatting on the ground and looking at Earth-Rabbit lazily. “Can’t I… *yawn*… lock the door?”

“No… if you keep locking the door, how will you leave in the end?!” Earth-Rabbit’s voice gradually grew louder. “Aren’t you seeking death?”

“I’m not leaving,” Jiang Shi answered honestly. “I’m a ‘closed-door disciple,’ responsible for closing doors.”

“You…?” Earth-Rabbit was momentarily speechless. “No way? Is this the tactic you discussed?”

“Yes,” Jiang Shi nodded. “Isn’t it good?”

“Foolish child, you’ve been deceived!” Earth-Rabbit looked into Jiang Shi’s eyes. “They want you to die. If you stay here, you’ll die!”

“So what?” Jiang Shi said indifferently. “As long as my teammates can escape, I’m willing to die.”

“You…!” Earth-Rabbit sighed. “Fine, fine, fine. You’re not afraid of death, right? I won’t bother with you. I’ll go to the other side.”

Another turn passed, and Earth-Rabbit opened the room door on the east side of the starting point. On the other side was Room “Two.” What made him feel extremely speechless was that there was also a person staring at him here.

“What are you doing?” Earth-Rabbit was so angry that even his accent became somewhat uncontrolled. “What are you doing? Won’t let me pass?”

Song Qi nodded: “Sorry, my leader told me I’m a ‘closed-door disciple,’ responsible for closing doors.”

“No, do you all have some serious problem?!” Earth-Rabbit pointed at Song Qi. “If you keep closing doors like this, what will happen to you two?! In the end, you two will die here!”

“For my teammates to live, I’m willing to die,” Song Qi smiled. “Sorry to trouble you.”

At this moment, Earth-Rabbit looked like he had completely run out of options. He stepped back a few paces and returned to the center of the room.

“Sigh…” Earth-Rabbit shook his head and raised his voice. “You two are really too foolish.”

“How so?” Song Qi looked at Earth-Rabbit through the open door. “Because we chose to die ourselves, so we’re too foolish?”

“Not exactly,” Earth-Rabbit shook his head, his expression becoming more profound. “I just want to say… if the situation is completely different from what you think… what will you do?”

“The situation is different?” When Song Qi heard these four words, he directly frowned. “Forgive my dullness, but what does ‘the situation is different’ mean?”

“I can’t say,” Earth-Rabbit sneered. “We’re in an adversarial relationship. Why would I need to reveal it to you?”

“Then can I understand that you’re bluffing?” Song Qi had also met quite a few people and naturally wouldn’t easily believe Earth-Rabbit’s words. “Could it be that you lied in the rules? The room in the furthest corner can’t be escaped from?”

“You’re overthinking it,” Earth-Rabbit supported his knees with both hands and squatted down on the spot. “We came in together from that room. How could that room not lead outside?”

After speaking, he pointed at the wall where Chen Junnan had carved the map.

“The Room ‘Sixteen’ drawn here is indeed the exit,” Earth-Rabbit said. “It’s just that the situation will be somewhat different.”

“Ha,” Song Qi nodded. “As long as Room ‘Sixteen’ is the exit, that’s enough. As long as my teammates can reach the exit, I don’t care about anything else.”

“Is that so?” Earth-Rabbit gradually revealed a cold and stern expression, as if all the panic from before was something he had faked. “Then guess… will there be such a moment… when you’ll actively open the door and let me out?”

“Will there be?” Song Qi asked ambiguously in return. “If necessary.”

Earth-Rabbit slowly closed those blood-red eyes, then made no further movement.

Chen Junnan and Cui Fourteen opened Room “Eight.” As expected, there was another table here.

This time, a lotus flower was placed on the table.

“What the hell?!” Chen Junnan walked forward to touch it and discovered that this wasn’t actually a fake flower, but a real lotus flower with water droplets on it, as if it had just been picked from a pond not long ago.

This ghostly place, let alone a pond, didn’t even have living plants. How did this lotus flower appear?

Cui Fourteen walked forward and flipped through the lotus petals. Sure enough, near the innermost stamen, she discovered that someone had carved two small characters in advance.

“Divine Power.”

“Leader…” Cui Fourteen awkwardly scratched her head. “If you say that tuft of black hair is the Monkey King’s monkey hair, then this lotus flower…”

“Third Lotus Prince,” Chen Junnan said without hesitation. “Doesn’t this confirm my idea? This lotus flower is Nezha, that black hair is Sun Wukong… we might even discover the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade or the Giant Spirit God’s hammer in other rooms…”

“Is it really like this?” Cui Fourteen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Is this… Havoc in Heaven?”

“Hiss…” Chen Junnan also felt that his train of thought was a bit too jumpy. But what magic could a lotus flower have?

“Should we bring the lotus flower too?” Cui Fourteen asked tentatively.

“We’re already bringing the monkey hair, so let’s bring the lotus flower too…” Chen Junnan answered with some uncertainty. “Having more skills doesn’t weigh you down, and having more items doesn’t feel heavy either.”

The two of them, one person holding the black hair and one person holding a lotus flower, waited for the turn to begin. When they opened the south door of the room leading to Room “Twelve,” both of them immediately showed speechless expressions.

“This is bad…” Chen Junnan looked at Room “Twelve.” There was another table here.

In the center of the table was placed something they had never seen before. It was as flat as a wooden piece, jade-like throughout, and covered with incomprehensible writing. The only thing that could be made out were two small characters in the lower right corner of the jade piece.

“Divine Power.”
