After bypassing the lobby layout, the two arrived at the large door at the far end.

Dr. Truth tried to open the door, but then said helplessly:

"……etc."

"What, did you come to the wrong door?" Sand Gold asked from behind.

"We didn't go to the wrong place." Dr. Truth looked at the door in front of him and said helplessly:

"But the door is locked."

"..."

Sand Gold couldn't help but speak up:

"Friend, have you really made plans with him?"

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Truth came to a conclusion.

"It seems this is a test."

"You have to prove your worth to Sunday before you can have a formal conversation."

“If I’m not mistaken, we need to find a way to open the door in this hall, otherwise this place will be our prison.”

"Oh?" Sand Gold looked around in surprise.

"Escape room? I like it."

Immediately, Sand Gold stepped forward, plopped down on the ground, leaned against the door, and looked at Dr. Truth with a smile:

"Then, Professor, I'll leave this mystery of the ruins to you."

"Be serious, what are you doing sitting down?"

Dr. Truth was somewhat dissatisfied:

"It's you who wants to see Sunday, not me."

"But aren't we in the same boat?" Sand Gold said with a slight smile.

“Our Professor Ladio is incredibly capable; he shouldn’t need me to solve this kind of puzzle.”

"Besides... there doesn't seem to be any need to show value to Sundays."

"If he still wants to interrogate me."

"..."

"Tsk."

Dr. Truth turned around and walked towards the town model in the center of the lobby, cursing:

"You should get rid of your laziness."

"It's obvious that the puzzle is in the sand table. Don't lie there, come over here."

Hearing Dr. Truth's shouts, Sand Gold reluctantly got up and walked with him to the sand table.

"Wow, what a huge sand table!"

"Once I've saved enough money, I want to build myself a building that tall."

After observing the surroundings, Dr. Truth suddenly said:

“When I came last time, there were things here, but now there aren’t.”

"Obviously, we need to find it."

"Oh, I see, there's a gap, right?"

Sand Gold looked at the gap in the sand table and joked:

"Let me see if I can buy some glue to fix it."

"You can use the water in your brain," Dr. Truth said calmly, then walked towards the room on the side.

Sand Gold followed with a smile.

The two searched the space to the side and finally found the missing component.

It was a door-shaped component.

"Oh? It says 'Gulliver's Arch' on it?"

Sand Gold recalled:

"Gulliver's Travels, this thing's appearance reminds me of a tunnel that shrinks you when you pass through it..."

The two returned to the original lobby and placed the components into the slots.

Clearly, this is indeed the archway of this model town.

"It's like building with blocks."

Sha Jin smiled slightly and said:

"I've never built with blocks before, so I don't know which is more fun, stacking chips or building blocks."

"Look, now it fits perfectly, it's flawless."

"But what's next?"

Even after placing the components, the door at the end of the lobby still couldn't be opened.

It seems that things are not over yet.

"Why don't you try touching it again? Maybe tapping it a bit will fix it," Dr. Truth suggested.

"Oh?"

Sand Gold obediently touched the sand table.

In an instant, a strange power enveloped the entire sand table, and a flash of pinkish-white light passed by.

Immediately... the door at the end of the hall slowly opened.

"Ok?"

Dr. Zhenli was somewhat puzzled to see that the door had opened so easily.

"What's wrong, Professor? Isn't that how it's supposed to be driven?" Sand Gold asked.

"how could I know."

Dr. Truth silently walked towards the open door. "Hurry up, Sunday's probably getting impatient."

The two continued forward, passing through the long corridor, and arrived at the last door.

He's right behind this door.

Doctor Truth stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice:

"In my humble opinion, he's not someone to be trifled with. Are you ready?"

"Yes, of course." Sand Gold maintained his smile.

"I believe he is the one who needs to be prepared."

Doctor Truth turned around and looked at Sand Gold:

"Tell me your plan."

"No plans," Sand Gold said, shrugging.

"According to circumstances."

"There are only two kinds of bargaining chips when dealing with people: interests or fear."

Doctor Truth's gaze was indifferent:

"It seems you truly don't understand [sincerity]."

"Am I not sincere enough?" Sand Gold opened his arms wide:

"No need to emphasize it."

“We should make good use of death. The man’s sister is dead, he’s definitely not going to sit still, that’s [fear].

"And I will help him find the murderer."

"Because of his status and position, he can't do it himself, but I can, and that's [the benefit]."

Dr. Truth frowned and said:

"What makes you think he can't do it, and that you have to entrust it to someone from a company with an opposing stance?"

“It’s very simple,” Sand Gold replied calmly.

"Because the murderer is very likely a traitor lurking within the family."

Doctor Truth asked again:

"The person you accused earlier was that sea patrolman."

"That's just an excuse, Professor." Sand Gold smiled calmly.

"That woman is acting strangely; I need someone to keep her in check."

"The fewer variables outside our field of vision we have when we take action, the better."

"Of course, I also need to know who she is."

"If my good luck is genuine, she will definitely become an important piece in the game."

"And the more 'friends' who can help me with this, the better~"

Sand Gold sighed:

"But to be honest, the murder case is mostly unrelated to her, and Mr. Yan Huan has always firmly believed this, which is correct."

"I still hold the same view: there must be a problem within the family."

Doctor Truth: “…”

"It better be this way."
