Thump!
Yukino's righteous sneak attack did not succeed; instead, Bai Yuze twisted her joints and pinned her to the ground.
Although he could smell Yukino's body fragrance up close, he was not in the mood to enjoy it at the moment.
"Big sister, it's not very nice to launch a sneak attack while someone else is talking."
"Shameless scoundrel, how did you sneak into the apartment?"
"I don't have time to argue with you about this and that. Believe it or not."
Yukino tried to struggle in the gaps of Bai Yuze's words, but she underestimated the difference in strength between men and women, and Bai Yuze also realized her intention.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't beat me. I have something to show you now. I'll let go of you, and you won't attack me, okay? If you agree, just nod."
Yukino was silent for a moment. She knew she was at a disadvantage now, so she could only agree to Bai Yuze's proposal.
The two instantly distanced themselves, and Bai Yuze threw the note to Yukino.
"Heh, to carry out the plan, you've certainly prepared your props thoroughly!"
Yukino still looked unconvinced. Just then, a scream came from next door!
"This is... Yui Yuigahama!"
After hearing the scream, Yukino's calm and composed mind suddenly fell into chaos.
"Aren't you going to go out and see?"
Bai Yuze stepped aside, exposing the exit to Yukino's view.
After sensing that Bai Yuze had no obvious malicious intent, Yukino faced Bai Yuze, carefully pushed the door open with her hand, and walked out.
As soon as Yukino left, Bai Yuze chuckled.
"Worrying truly makes one confused. She doesn't even consider her own capabilities."
Bai Yuze considered his situation. The details in the room had been collected, and there was no point in staying here. The most important thing now was to go out and gather information.
He looked at the ajar door, hesitated for a moment, then chose to follow her.
Stepping out the door, Bai Yuze looked back at the room number, which read Room 104.
"If I heard correctly, the sound came from the left."
Bai Yuze looked to the left. There were 101 and 102 on the left, and 103 was opposite Bai Yuze's room.
At this time, the door to 102 was open, and Yukino was standing at the entrance, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Bai Yuze tried his best not to alarm Yukino. Due to their height difference, Bai Yuze's line of sight could easily pass over Yukino and look into Room 102.
Inside Room 102, a man lay on the bed. The wound on his neck was splattered, leaving an unsettling bloodstain on the wall.
And a knife was clearly embedded in the man's neck.
In the corner of the room, a pink-haired girl was trembling, clearly having made the scream just now.
The pink-haired girl saw Yukino standing at the door and immediately rushed towards her.
"Wuwuwu, Yukino, where are we? Is this some kind of prank?"
Yukino knew that she couldn't break down in the current situation. If she were to break down, then her and Youbihama's situation would become even more dangerous.
Yukino remained silent, simply patting Youbihama's back to comfort her, and Youbihama also noticed Bai Yuze watching from the side.
"Um, who is this man? Yukino, did you make a new friend?"
Youbihama's words struck Yukino like lightning. She turned her body and stared at Bai Yuze warily.
Bai Yuze was too lazy to bother with the two of them. The most important thing now was to observe and gather information.
Bai Yuze also didn't need to prove himself.
The man's corpse in the room would help Bai Yuze prove himself. The man's wound was on his neck, and the blood was splattered. If Bai Yuze had really done it, then he should have been covered in blood.
Of course, the most important point was that kidnapping and murder were two different things. If Bai Yuze was only after money, there was no need to kill anyone.
Could it be that he felt his crime was too minor and specifically killed someone to add some excitement?
Although Bai Yuze's suspicion was reduced, for safety reasons, Yukino and Tuanzi still kept a safe distance from him.
Seeing this, Bai Yuze shrugged. He walked into 102 and began to examine the man's body, attempting to find anything useful on him.
The handle of the surgical knife, embedded in the man's carotid artery, gleamed coldly. Bai Yuze decided to deal with this knife last. He focused his gaze on the man's palm.
The man's right hand was tightly gripping something. After Bai Yuze pried the man's hand open, he obtained two things.
A milk candy and a piece of paper.
"Hello, dear player, I don't know if I should call you that, but let me introduce myself first. My name is Yang Peng, twenty years old. As for other details, I won't go into too much. I know you're very confused because I was the same when I first arrived in this ghostly place. This ghostly place is full of dangers, but as long as you follow the rules, you can barely survive here. There are some things I can't tell you directly, It will modify and mess things up, like a child. I don't want to help with good intentions but make things worse, so I've scattered information in various corners of the residential houses, hoping it can help you. Good luck."
"Yang Peng? It seems this dungeon isn't entirely new."
Now there are two pieces of news: good news, there are hints and help left by someone in the dungeon. Bad news, you can't tell if the hints are real or fake.
There are people in the world who are selfless and great, daring to pave the way for future generations, but Bai Yuze could not confirm whether this person named "Yang Peng" was trustworthy.
And it's unclear if the man's corpse in front of him is Yang Peng himself. If it is Yang Peng himself, does that mean there were errors in the hints he gave? If he himself died here, then perhaps there were mistakes in his hints, which led to his demise here.
"Um... shouldn't we call the police... and let them handle it?"
Tuanzi watched Bai Yuze rummaging through the corpse and couldn't help but remind him, as to outsiders, Bai Yuze's actions were undoubtedly destroying the crime scene.
Bai Yuze chuckled a few times and smiled at Tuanzi.
"A very smart decision, but I think phones are useless here."
Tuanzi's words also reminded Bai Yuze; he only now noticed that his phone was missing.
"Do you have a phone?"
Tuanzi was slightly stunned when she heard Bai Yuze's words.
"Don't you? Or was your phone taken by the killer?"
After Tuanzi finished speaking, she took out her phone from her skirt pocket and dialed the emergency number. However, just as Bai Yuze had said, the phone's signal was full, but for some reason, she just couldn't make the call.
Bai Yuze stared at the phone in Tuanzi's hand, stunned for a moment. He guessed that the reason Tuanzi's phone was still there was because this dungeon deliberately intended it. The phone had a full signal but couldn't make an emergency call; this scene exuded an aura of despair.
