I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 615, Sections 2, 3, and 4: Guess Who I Am
Mingxi sat cross-legged on a large rock in the ruins, her hands clasped in front of her chest, staring down at the small stones at her feet. Although she was thinking, she didn't miss the questions from Bertias and Shui Qi.
Suddenly he remembered something and took out the only envelope that hadn't disappeared since entering the dungeon.
"Ling Tong, let me see yours." Dao Lin stretched out his hand to Ling Tong, who glanced at the wax seal on the envelope and then took out his own envelope.
Dao Lin compared the two envelopes, frowned slightly, and said, "Something's not right. Could it be that I'm mistaken? Or perhaps..."
No, that's not right, there are still clues.
The sealing wax stamp is a circle, but the rim is not smooth and may even have a gap. Starting from the gap in the upper left corner, you can read the circle as '..|.|.|——', which in Morse code is 'prey', meaning 'prey'.
From the very beginning, the envelopes had already given hints about everyone's identity. Although he noticed this at first, he didn't pay much attention to it until the moment the dungeon rules appeared.
But since it happened so suddenly, he couldn't say anything, and now it was too late to check other people's envelopes. Rather than alerting them, he decided to probe step by step.
"Ling Tong, how is it?" Dao Lin asked.
“No abnormalities for now,” Ling Tong shook her head and said softly.
"We still need more information..." Dao Lin murmured, looking up at Shui Qi who was asking questions.
Shui Qi looked quietly at the girl standing in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with interest, "What's your name?"
"My name is Sanyi," she said innocently, rubbing her little hands together cutely.
His narrow blue eyes gazed at Sanyi, then he chuckled and extended a hand toward her.
Sanyi rubbed its paws on its clothes, looking particularly helpless, and then grabbed it.
"This doesn't seem to be your real name," Shui Qi said with a light laugh, his eyes fixed on her face, the smile not reaching his eyes.
Sanyi glanced at it discreetly, then quickly lowered his head and said, "This is my real name. I said it is, it's just a little strange."
“A relaxed and carefree name, indeed.” Shui Qi held her hand without letting go, his tone somewhat unfathomable, making it impossible for anyone to guess his thoughts at that moment.
His narrow eyes stared silently at the head below her, a hint of coldness and calculation in them.
"Ah, that's what it means. You're so clever. I'm just a bit lazy, so I chose this name." San Yi secretly squeezed his hand, wiped it, and chuckled to himself.
Shui Qi glanced at the hand, his smile vanished in an instant, and then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly let go of her hand.
"You chose the name yourself... It's great, it suits you very well."
Before Sanyi could make a move, he felt a warm touch on his left ear, followed by Shui Qi's deep, alluring voice, "When I go out later, remember to follow me quietly. Don't let anyone see you, otherwise..."
He chuckled softly at the end, then turned and left, ignoring the latter's reaction.
After the questioning, the two walked up to Daolin.
“It’s over. There were no suspicious individuals. Perhaps some ghosts aren’t hiding among the players but are lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike,” Bertias shook his head regretfully. Shui Qi pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, “Speaking of which, I actually found someone who seems a bit suspicious.”
"Hmm?" Dao Lin raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me you're being petty and deliberately trying to cause trouble."
"How could that be? I'm always serious when gathering intelligence. This person calls herself Sanyi, and she's attracted a lot of attention since she appeared. She says it's her real name, but she also says she chose the name herself. Don't you think that's contradictory?" Shui Qi said with a smile, spreading her hands.
“It is indeed quite suspicious, so? What did you do?” Bertias thought for a second, looked up at Shui Qi, and asked.
"I said I'd go gather intelligence by myself later. Do you think if she's a ghost, she might secretly follow me and attack me?" He said softly, his narrow blue eyes carrying a hint of a smile.
“I understand, I’ll keep an eye on her movements,” Bertias nodded and said.
"Anything else?" Daolin asked.
“She’s the only one lying; the others are all very well-behaved,” Shui Qi said with a smile.
He glanced at Shui Qi with his icy blue eyes, then nodded, looked up and gestured toward the distance, saying, "That's true, but the timing is perfect, they've returned too."
"Have you been waiting long?" Mingjin and Mingxi asked as they put down the three-meter-tall box.
“No, it’s perfect that we’ve been waiting for you. Let’s open the crates and distribute the supplies.” Daolin gave the twins a deep look, then said, “Just give me a pistol.”
after an hour.
"You two both have guns?" Dao Lin raised an eyebrow as he looked at the twins, each holding a pistol.
"It's been a long time since I've handled a gun. Actually, I'm a sharpshooter." Mingxi touched the black pistol in his hand and smiled at Daolin.
"Is that so?" Dao Lin frowned. He had never heard of this before. After all, the two brothers had always used cold weapons and he had never seen them use firearms. He found it a bit strange.
Ming Jin raised the pistol, her lake-blue eyes gazing at it quietly, a thoughtful expression on her face. With a slight movement of her sleeve, the white bracelet on her wrist was faintly revealed.
"Give me a pair of gloves. I prefer to start the game while wearing gloves," Mingxi said, pointing to the black gloves next to Daolin.
"Give me one too," Ming Jin nodded and said.
Shui Qi picked up two pairs of gloves and threw them to them, saying, "You two are so demanding."
Ling Tong fiddled with a horizontal sword. Although it was different from the one he always used, it was still a cold weapon, so he was quite used to it.
Fei received the same weapon as before—a black stick that turned out to be a sword when drawn. In addition, he was given a pistol, which Chloe insisted on giving him, saying it would protect him, though Fei didn't quite understand Chloe's motives.
“If there’s only one ghost on a map, then the ghost is with Ye Gui, so we’re safe here. Of course, that’s not absolute, so it’s always better to stay vigilant.” Dao Lin pondered, his brows furrowed, feeling like he was overlooking something.
"I'm going to scout the area with Fei. I'll be back soon," Ling Tong said in a low voice, then left before anyone else could speak.
