The rewards were indeed generous.

The first flower seeds looked impressive but had a 24-hour time limit, meaning that if seeds were scattered now, it would take up to a day for them to grow into a flower sea.

The second invitation card was confusing, its actual use temporarily unclear. If they’re areas where one isn’t invited, wouldn’t it be fine just not to go? Why would they need to enter?

The last doll was impressive—its use was incredibly significant. In an extremely dangerous game, who knew how many times one could die in 36 hours!

Bai Youwei sorted through her thoughts, roughly understanding their uses, and put the rewards one by one into her bag.

Her canvas bag was already very full.

The Inspector escorted her and Wu Lili out. Coming to the courtyard, they only needed to walk out to return to the real world.

Bai Youwei suddenly remembered something. Her footsteps stopped as she asked the Inspector: “By the way, you said earlier we were the first to win the game. Does that mean no one has ever cleared this game before?”

“That’s right.” The Inspector replied. “Never.”

“Then do you know someone called Uncle Zhao?” she asked again.

The Inspector raised an eyebrow slightly. “Uncle Zhao?”

Wu Lili quickly added: “His full name is Zhao Jiantao! Around sixty years old, short in height, but very sturdy!”

“Oh… that player.” The Inspector nodded lightly. “He also attended the party and eventually left here using a puzzle piece.”

Bai Youwei was somewhat surprised: “He also entered the maze?”

“No.” The Inspector smiled. “People who’ve entered the maze carry a special scent on them. I wouldn’t be mistaken.”

Bai Youwei understood.

Never entered the maze yet possessed a puzzle piece—either someone gave it to him, or he stole or robbed it himself.

Would anyone be willing to give away such a precious item?

The answer was self-evident.

“Well then, ladies, farewell.” The Inspector escorted them to the courtyard gate, looking deeply at Bai Youwei. “I will remember you.”

These words sounded familiar—she couldn’t immediately recall who had said them.

Bai Youwei surveyed the large man-eating flowers in the courtyard, her eyes flickering slightly: “How about… I make your memory even deeper?”

The Inspector looked at her, puzzled, raising an eyebrow.

Bai Youwei pulled out a large grayish mushroom from her bag and suddenly threw it into the courtyard!

—BOOM!

Wu Lili was shocked: “What happened?!”

“Quick, go!” Bai Youwei slapped her hard, rapidly wheeling her wheelchair out of the courtyard!

Behind them, the mushroom exploded!

Exploding into a sky full of spores!

Gray-white spores covered the roof, ground, fence, and man-eating flowers, instantly swelling and growing! The entire forest cottage grew full of mushrooms large and small!

And they kept growing!

Continuously growing!

Crushing the flowers, breaking the stems, the mushroom cluster frantically seized air and moisture, squeezing all the flowers and plants in the courtyard to death!

**[Mushroom Bomb: Releases massive spores after landing, rapidly growing into mushroom clusters. Clusters breed new spores, difficult to eliminate in short time.]**

The Inspector squeezed among the mushrooms: “…I will definitely remember you!”

…

After leaving the game, Bai Youwei and Wu Lili found themselves back at the original hillside.

Zhang Qi’s doll lay not far away.

But the other people’s dolls were nowhere to be seen.

Wu Lili walked to Zhang Qi’s side and squatted down, unable to hold back tears again. Looking around, she choked out: “Everyone’s gone, and the luggage is gone too.”

Bai Youwei frowned as she looked around, calling out loudly: “Shen Mo!—”

Shen Mo came out early—he should be nearby.

But where was he?

He couldn’t possibly leave her alone!
