Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Su Bai said, "This is a reasonable interpretation based on normal reasoning, but don't forget what happened in the last alternate realm. Always following the rules was actually a dead end."

Luo Zheng pursed his lips.

He clearly recalled what happened back then.

Huang Xiang felt that Su Bai was deliberately being mysterious and disapproving. She asked Luo Zheng, "Is following the rules a dead end? Is not following them also a dead end? So how do we break this deadlock? Isn't there no way out?"

Su Bai ignored Huang Xiang, making Huang Xiang feel somewhat embarrassed.

Naturally, some people were willing to stand up for her, such as Xu Chen, who was glaring at Su Bai at this moment. He sneered, "I think you're just trying to scare us, aren't you?"

Zheng Ge coldly replied, "You don't have to believe us."

Normally, Zheng Ge rarely speaks.

If it were Lao Zhou refuting, Xu Chen would definitely disagree and argue. But if it were Zheng Ge, Xu Chen just snorted and didn't say anything more.

Luo Zheng was also annoyed by Huang Xiang and the others' attitude. He said, "There was a rule in the previous alternate realm: 'Those who sleep are sacrificed, those who speak are buried with them.' Literally, it means you can't sleep, or you'll die. But we later discovered that only the first person to fall asleep will die; the others are fine."

Huang Xiang asked, "How did you find out?"

Luo Zheng looked at Huang Xiang with a somewhat subtle expression: "Of course, it was verified by killing people time and time again."

Huang Xiang understood what Luo Zheng's expression meant.

It's saying she's naive and ignorant!

Is there even a need to ask this question?

Luo Zheng paused, and his gaze toward Huang Xiang became serious: "The other world is completely different from the world we live in. There are too many unimaginable unknowns in it, so it is still necessary to be careful."

Huang Xiang blushed slightly, pursed her lips and nodded, but did not say anything.

The most important thing now is to get out alive, and Luo Zheng has no time to bother with useless things.

His attention was entirely focused on Su Bai: "What's next?"

With one hand in his pocket, Su Bai said, "Based on the situation in the last alternate realm, you have to find the monster and then defeat it to leave the alternate realm."

Luo Zheng's gaze met Su Bai's. Su Bai didn't say anything more, but Luo Zheng vaguely understood that they were now in a very passive position.

All we can do is wait, wait to find the monster, and then gradually find the weaknesses to eliminate it.

Then, their gazes fell back on the dazed Jiang Fan.

Of course, there's also Chen Hua, who's sitting by the window looking bored.

The fact that these two people suddenly disappeared and then returned yesterday raises many questions. If Jiang Fan regains his senses, will he be able to obtain some useful clues?

The two of them were pondering this in their hearts. Those who had experienced other realms could understand more or less, but Huang Xiang and the others were completely confused, which made them somewhat unable to bear it.

Xu Chen said unhappily, "Are we just going to wait here like this? Without eating or drinking?"

Old Zhou, annoyed, said, "Isn't there water? And food too? Isn't there a piece of meat on the table?"

Xu Chen said, "How many days will that meat last? Besides, it's raw."

Speaking of meat, everyone's eyes fell on it. That huge chunk of meat had been reduced to a small piece, and they had just disappeared on the spot. The thought of it made them feel inexplicably uneasy.

Old Zhou swallowed hard and deliberately retorted, "If you keep dawdling, all that meat will be gone."

Although it was eerie and frightening, Lao Zhou didn't forget to tease Xu Chen.

Xu Chun's face was pale, and she remained silent, her lips pursed.

Su Bai chuckled lightly: "Actually, things aren't that complicated."

Without any explanation from the crowd, he walked to the table and gently touched the meat with his finger. The meat seemed to wriggle, and a gasp rang out behind him.

Old Zhou blurted out "Holy crap!"

Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge followed Su Bai over, and after observing for a few seconds, the two of them also smiled.

Luo Zheng said, "Oh, I see."

Seeing the three of them looking so calm and collected, the others who had been tense hesitated for a moment before slowly coming closer. They examined the piece of meat for a while but couldn't figure out what was so special about it.

Chen Hua, who was the last to arrive, glanced at it and sneered, "That lump of meat must have been scooped out down to just the outer layer. It couldn't hold on for long and shrunk into one piece."

Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "So that means the meat wasn't eaten right under our noses, but when we weren't around!"

Kuroko also said, "Perhaps it was hollow when we came in."

The crisis was over, and there were clearly sounds of exhalation around.

Unraveling the secret of the meat wasn't anything important. Luo Zheng frowned again, turned around, walked out the door, and opened it. A gust of wind mixed with rain blew in, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Su Bai also walked to the door, and Old Zhou behind him asked, "Are you staying inside today?"

Su Bai said, "You can go out if you want."

Old Zhou said, "I don't want to go out."

Luo Zheng turned and glanced at Su Bai: "I want to go and take a look at that grove of trees from yesterday."

Chen Hua said he woke up there and wanted to try his luck to see if he could find any traces.

But the rain lasted all night, and any traces that remained were washed away long ago.

Even if Chen Hua is lying, they may not be able to expose him.

But Luo Zheng was not willing to give up.

Su Bai said, "I'll look for more clues in the room."

Luo Zheng nodded. He hadn't asked Su Bai to go with them in the first place, and he wasn't disappointed that Su Bai hadn't mentioned going along.

Huang Xiang looked down on ordinary people like Su Bai. She went out with Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge, and the three men who were with Huang Xiang also went along.

So now only Su Bai, Lao Zhou, and Hei Zi were left in the room, along with Chen Hua, who sat idly by, and Jiang Fan, who looked dazed.

With fewer people in the room, it felt somewhat empty.

Just as Old Zhou was about to speak, he looked up and gasped. Su Bai saw that Old Zhou was staring straight out the window. He didn't ask what was wrong, but followed Old Zhou's gaze.

The black hole with tentacles reappeared by the east window. Su Bai glanced at it, then walked towards the door, pushed it open, and went out, heading east of the house.

Although Lao Zhou and Hei Zi were scared, they were still worried about Su Bai and gritted their teeth to follow him, only to be stopped by Su Bai in front of them.

He turned to the two men and told them, "You two stay inside."

He didn't explain, and turned to continue walking forward.

Old Zhou gritted his teeth and pulled Hei Zi back into the house.

The two of them leaned over the south window and watched as Su Bai walked to the east window, turned a corner, and disappeared from sight.

The next second, with a "bang," the east window was suddenly pushed open.

The black hole and the wriggling tentacles are still in the same place.

Su Bai stood right in the center of the black hole, as if he would be completely swallowed up in the next second.

Time passed slowly until the black hole and wriggling tentacles were once again enveloped and dispelled by the colorful orbs of light. Su Bai remained standing firmly in place, completely unharmed.
