"Nobody's around..." Jehanne commented as she looked around.
"They must've been sent into another instance of this floor," Yifa mentioned from the side. "It's common in MMO games when multiple parties raid the same place at the same time."
Xu Tao nodded, sharing the same thought as Yifa. "They're probably doing their own trial in a separate pocket dimension. Let's not worry about them and focus on the trial at hand instead."
Although he said that, he wasn't sure what kind of trial awaited them.
Unlike the first floor, there was no monolith to provide riddles—just an empty space with no visible obstacles.
Do we just head onwards...? Xu Tao thought, puzzled. What about the trial?
This was a trial zone, after all. Coming here and doing nothing didn't make any sense.
Just as he was growing worried, a change occurred.
BAM!
The sound of doors slamming open echoed. In the next moment, hurried footsteps and screams of fear followed.
"H-Help! I'm innocent!"
