Lu Shi admired Chen Xin quite a bit. Her fearless attitude towards pain was very suitable for arduous cultivation in the world of cultivation, and she had a bright future.
This time, Lu Shi volunteered to go first: "Let me go. I have a very useful escape tool. If there is danger, I can definitely run away."
At that moment, Ye Bugui, who was following behind Lu Shi, coughed loudly. He knew what the prop was—it was that banana peel!
Well, it was indeed amazing that it escaped.
The others obviously didn't know what it was, but since Lu Shi was so confident, they naturally had no objections.
Sherry, relying on her skills, was responsible for covering the rear.
Clearly, their seven-person team was working together very well.
When Lu Shi reached the third floor, he realized that the ground beneath their feet was different.
The second floor has wooden flooring, while the third floor has a carpet on top of it.
Aside from the bright red carpet, there are very few rooms on the third floor, only four in total.
A suite, of course, must be quite large. Lu Shi still remembered the presidential suite that Ye Bugui had booked for him.
The only downside is that the third floor is very dark.
The lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and the only sound throughout the entire floor was their footsteps; the atmosphere of terror was much stronger than on the second floor.
However, none of these seven players were newcomers; they were already immune to this terrifying atmosphere.
They reached the first door, and Lu Shi turned around and asked softly, "Then I'll knock."
"Wait a minute," Ye Bugui suddenly stretched out his hand, "I'll do it. I'm the worst at it. If I get into danger, you guys will have to help me!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement. In their eyes, Ye Bugui was a boss who was quite self-aware.
When Ye Bugui's hand touched the door with its engraved patterns, he discovered that the door was not locked at all.
He actually pushed it away.
But the moment he pushed it away, Ye Bugui realized something was wrong.
Because there is nothing in this room.
His feet were dangling in the air, and due to inertia, his body almost instinctively fell inward.
At that moment, Lu Shi swiftly grabbed Ye Bugui and pulled him back.
Ye Bugui bumped into Lu Shi, and because of the height difference, Lu Shi's head landed directly on Ye Bugui's neck.
This awkward action left both of them with somewhat strange expressions.
Fortunately, the other players weren't paying attention to the two of them, but instead saw what was happening inside the room and gasped in shock.
What's going on?
That's right, just as Ye Bugui saw, the room was empty. Not that there was nothing inside, but that there wasn't even a floor, a ceiling, or anything at all.
There was only darkness and nothingness, like a black hole.
“It’s like an abandoned abyss,” Lu Shi said softly. “I have something I can test.”
Lu Shi found a paper figure in his pocket.
Before entering the dungeon, Lu Shi cut out several impressive paper figures.
But who would have thought that when he brought these paper figures into the copy, they would turn back into their most ordinary form?
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, he blew a breath into the paper figure in his palm, and the light paper figure came to life.
Seeing the surprised looks on the players' faces, Ye Bugui felt a strange sense of superiority.
Haha, he's someone who's seen the paper phoenix!
After bowing to Lu Shi, the paper figure followed his instructions and walked towards the empty room.
Once their bodies were all inside the room, they were instantly swallowed up.
Lu Shi's expression was somewhat grim: "I've lost contact with them."
"What do you mean?" Sherry asked, then immediately added, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."
“There’s nothing wrong with talking about it,” Lu Shi explained. “The paper figure contained my spiritual energy. Even if it were torn apart by the monster, the spiritual energy would return to my body. But now, that spiritual energy is gone too. This room is dangerous; let’s stay away from it!”
Hearing Lu Shi say this, everyone left, and then Lu Shi closed the door.
At this point, although the other players didn't say anything, their expressions showed that none of them really wanted to explore the next room.
Lu Shi thought so too; the power behind that door was far greater than that waiter, or even the demons in the plague prison.
This was the first time he had ever felt pressure.
Who knows what might be hiding behind the other three doors!
"Let's go downstairs first!" Zi Ling went along with it. "They're about to get off work anyway."
Before she could finish speaking, the door at the far end of the corridor opened by itself.
From the entrance, countless black handprints spread across the blood-red carpet...
"They're coming, they're coming!" Han Baobao screamed.

"Hold on tight to me!"
The black palm print crawled at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye it had reached their feet.
No one knows what the consequences will be if they catch you, but just thinking about it makes it clear that it will not be a good thing.
Besides revealing the black handprints crawling all over the floor, the automatically opening door also emitted the voice of a child:
"Big brothers and sisters, don't run away, play with us!"
"We just wanted to play hide-and-seek with you, why are you rejecting us!"
"Hehe, I'm going to catch you, don't you dare run away!"
The voices that should have symbolized innocence and purity of children now sounded chilling to the ears of these seven players.
Except for Lu Shi, almost everyone's sanity was decreasing, with only Ye Bugui's decreasing rate being slower.
Like Han Baobao, her breathing became rapid, and her pupils dilated quickly, almost bursting out of her eyes.
This was a sign of the critical value increasing. It wasn't until Cao Ran grabbed Han Baobao's hand that she calmed down a bit.
At that moment, everyone who heard Lu Shi's words grabbed him without hesitation, even if it was just a corner of his clothes.
"The cunning banana peel!"
Yes, Lu Shi took out his prop and placed the banana peel, which he used to make the monster fall, at his feet.
Lu Shi then experienced a speed even more thrilling than flying on a sword. The banana peel propelled Lu Shi flying, and the person holding him also soared up with the unnatural force.
Upon landing, they tumbled down the stairs like a derailed train.
The banana peel lived up to its word, sliding ten meters, exactly ten meters.
The seven people rolled down the stairs, suffering minor injuries, but fortunately escaped the black handprints that were trying to play hide-and-seek with them.
Just as Lu Shi had guessed, the palm print could only move on the third floor and couldn't go downstairs.
At this moment, Zi Ling glared fiercely at Chen Xin and said angrily:
"Are you trying to kill us? You call this not dangerous? If it weren't for Brother Demon Lord, we'd all be dead!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Chen Xin leaned against the wall, catching her breath as she explained, "My divination can only predict things within my capabilities. I can only say that what's behind these doors is too powerful."
“It’s no use talking about this now.” Lu Shi interrupted their conversation, brushing the dust off his clothes as he did so. “It’s getting late, let’s go back to our rooms first, so our roommates don’t find out. Even though we can’t go out after midnight, remember to check your roommates’ phones.”
Everyone agreed and then dispersed, returning to their rooms.
When Sherry got back to her room, the first thing she did was turn on the light and check her heels.
She was walking at the very back when she fell and accidentally bumped into the stairs. She's worried she might bleed.
With the help of the light inside the room, Sherry breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was just a bruise.
Thankfully, nothing went wrong and everything is normal.
But Shirley didn't know that when she grabbed Lu Shi's clothes and flew away, a black palm print touched her heel at the last moment.
The palm print entered Sherry's body without leaving a trace.
...
Lu Shi returned to his room, then glanced at Ye Bugui standing at the door gazing down the corridor, and asked earnestly:
"Is there enough room for both of us under this bed?"
"It should be fine." Ye Bugui patted his chest to assure him, "Although I look tall, I'm not fat and won't take up your space."
"Okay, come on over quickly." Lu Shi had already lain down on the floor. Actually, after getting used to sleeping here, Lu Shi no longer felt it was oppressive. "Gao Yang gets off work quite early every day."
Ye Bugui, who had been so poised and confident just moments before, hesitated when he actually had to lie down on the floor.
Looking back on his past years, it seems that Ye Bugui really hasn't had any intimate contact with any man.
Not to mention sleeping together. The only person Ye Bugui ever slept in the same bed with was a stray dog he picked up when he was a child.
He slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "Why am I being so coy about sleeping with Lu Shi, two straight men?"
Isn't it often said online that it's normal for guys to sleep together in a male dormitory?
Having mentally prepared himself, Ye Bugui finally lay down and hid with Lu Shi under the dark, narrow bed, which was just big enough for two people.
Lu Shi had lain here all night, and there wasn't much dust left in the air, only the faint scent that Lu Shi himself carried.
Ye Bugui had smelled it before, but it was always fleeting. But now, just as they were landing, he finally recognized the scent lingering around his nose.
