Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Ma Jun, who had been ignored all along, stepped forward at this moment.

Old Zhou saw this and whispered in Su Bai's ear, "He's going to show off again."

Observing Ma Jun's behavior, Su Bai understood.

Ma Jun, acting like an organizer, presided over the scene with a somewhat authoritative tone: "Now is the time for everyone to save their lives. If you've found anything, hand it over immediately, don't hide it!"

Everyone shook their heads, seemingly indicating that they really hadn't found anything.

Ma Jun gritted his teeth: "Since no one has found it, let's all search together! Turn the house upside down, don't overlook any clues!"

Everyone got up and began searching the house.

After settling everyone in, Ma Juncai asked Luo Zheng, "Brother Zheng, do you think this arrangement is alright?"

Luo Zheng also reminded him at the right time: "Don't overlook anything, even a needle or a piece of scrap paper, it could be a key clue to getting out of this other world."

Ma Jun readily agreed and immediately got to work.

After the truth was revealed, Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi became less distant and joined the others in searching.

Old Zhou moved closer to Su Bai and, seeing that Su Bai's expression remained serious, asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Su Bai glanced at him indifferently, her tone calm: "He only said how to get in and how to get out, he didn't say what would happen in the other world."

Old Zhou patted him on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of? If you're really nervous, just write in your diary to distract yourself."

As he spoke, he pulled a palm-sized black leather notebook from his pocket and handed it to Su Bai.

Su Bai glanced down at the notebook, then at Lao Zhou: "Why is it a pencil?"

Old Zhou looked completely matter-of-fact, with a hint of resentment: "What's wrong with a pencil? Can't a pencil write? Do you expect a fountain pen and ink? Should I give you the whole set of writing implements?"

Su Bai: "..." He just felt that people were used to carrying ballpoint pens or aluminum pens to write, unless they were provided on a large conference table...

However, this was taken out by Lao Zhou...

He finally understood: relying on Lao Zhou was less reliable than hoping that the tuft of black hair would suddenly become docile.

The group searched the house thoroughly, even looking through the cracks in the walls and the windowsills, but they found nothing of any use except for food, water, and empty bottles.

All eyes were on Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi, their eyes filled with anxiety and unease.

"If we don't find any clues, does that mean we can't get out? Are we going to die here?" someone asked, their voice trembling and on the verge of tears.

"How about... we go outside and take a look? We can't just stay trapped inside forever, can we?"

Su Bai stood there, silently watching everything unfold, without saying a word or taking out the syringe from his sleeve.

His doubts grew deeper and deeper.

These two superhumans are definitely hiding something; those unspoken words are the most dangerous.

With no clues, Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi also showed worried expressions. After exchanging a glance, they seemed to have made up their minds.

Luo Zheng strode to the door, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed it open forcefully.

The door creaked open, shattering the deathly silence in the room.

Outside the gate was a long-abandoned courtyard, with weeds growing wildly from the cracks in the paving stones, reaching half a person's height, in a chaotic mess.

The entire courtyard was eerily quiet, without a sound of wind or grass, not even the chirping of insects. The silence was unsettling, sending a chill down one's spine.

Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi exchanged a glance, stepped out of the house, paused at the door for a few seconds to make sure there was nothing amiss, and then continued walking forward.

The light from inside the house shone through the doorway, illuminating only a small area. Soon, the two figures were swallowed up by the darkness deep within the courtyard.

Time passed slowly, one second, ten seconds, one minute...

Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi never returned.

Ma Jun gritted his teeth, walked to the door, and shouted their names into the yard several times. But the only response was his own voice echoing in the empty yard, growing farther and farther away, and finally disappearing into the darkness without a trace.

The crowd gathered at the doorway and peered out through the threshold.

There was no courtyard left outside the gate, only a thick, impenetrable black hole, like a giant mouth waiting for them to walk into its trap.

A deathly silence instantly enveloped the entire room.

The faces of the crowd gradually turned pale, and the anxiety in their eyes was slowly replaced by fear.

Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi were their only hope, the only ones who could lead them out alive.

If something happens to them, then they will truly be trapped here and die.

Su Bai knew that everyone present thought the same way.

Just then, a loud "bang" rang out!

The door that had been pushed open was suddenly slammed shut by an invisible force, causing the walls to tremble slightly.

The sudden loud noise startled everyone, causing them to scream and retreat in panic. Some even collapsed to the ground, their limbs trembling.

Ma Jun led his men back to the center of the room, his eyes wide with terror, unable to utter a word.

Old Zhou clutched his chest, muttering under his breath, "Damn it... What time is it? These two are still joking? Couldn't they be a little gentler? They almost scared the soul out of me!"

Everyone: "..." Not funny at all!

This is no joke; it's clearly a death knell.

The deathly silence in the room was even greater than before; fear, like cold vines, slowly coiled around everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.

Previously, Su Bai had been able to calmly answer questions from two superhumans. Ma Jun remained silent for a moment, then finally lowered his stance and quickly walked up to Su Bai.

His eyes were filled with exhaustion, and his tone had lost its usual sharpness. He asked in a low voice, "What's next?"

Su Bai said calmly, without hiding anything, "I'm completely confused right now too."

Ma Jun's gaze then turned to Lao Zhou, who immediately waved his hand and said innocently, "Don't look at me, I'm just like you, completely clueless, I don't even understand what this other world is."

Ma Jun's gaze returned to Su Bai.

His tone softened, even carrying a hint of apology: "I was wrong before, it was all a misunderstanding, I apologize. Now we're all trapped in this other world, let's put aside our personal grudges for now, and work together to get out of here, okay?"

Su Bai gently shook his head: "Brother Ma, you flatter me. I really don't know what to do. I'm not holding anything back."

The buck-toothed man next to him leaned over, his face still full of hostility, glaring at Su Bai and scolding, "Kid, don't push your luck! Brother Ma has already lowered himself, what are you pretending for?"

"Hei Zi!" Ma Jun interrupted him sharply, his tone reprimanding, "Speak properly with your brothers. The important thing now is for us to figure out how to get out, not to act tough!"

Old Zhou chuckled at the buck-toothed man: "Your name suits your skin tone perfectly. To be honest, with buck teeth and such dark skin, it's not easy to be as ugly as you. I feel sorry for you."
