"They've surrounded us again!"

"Keep moving forward! We can't stay in one place!"

The group had no choice but to resume their fight.

Blades flashed, fire blazed, and ice mist exploded one after another, and three-headed monsters fell one after another, but more monsters poured out of the darkness, seemingly endless.

"call out!"

Shen Ye dodged the incoming claws by sidestepping. With a slight twitch of his fingertips, the three-headed monster closest to him instantly convulsed, its three heads colliding violently, and it collapsed to the ground amidst flying flesh and blood.

He glanced at the number D-162 on the corpse's chest, an even number.

Looking at the bodies lying in the distance, D-156, D-168, D-174... all even numbers.

“We must find a way out. Those eyes…remember those eyes on the walls?” the earring-wearing youth hissed calmly at that moment.

Despite their formidable strength, the three teams had limited stamina, potions, and energy. The three-headed monster, however, seemed inexhaustible, replacing one group as soon as another fell, giving them no respite. They were indeed powerful, but how could they afford to waste their limited stamina here?

"serial number."

Amid the chaos, Shen Ye's voice suddenly rang out.

He crouched beside a corpse, his fingertips brushing over the number on the corpse's chest, his tone so calm that he seemed oblivious to the roars around him.

"All the monsters are numbered even numbers."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the corpses around them.

D-156, D-162, D-168... they are all even numbers, not a single one is odd.

"So what if it's an even number?" a member of the Magic Shield team asked urgently.

The young man with the earring suddenly looked up at the densely packed eyes on the wall and hesitated, "You mean... there are even numbers of those eyes too?"

Although I didn't have time to count, the chances of an even number appearing are probably too high.

Shen Ye stood up, parted the middle head of a three-headed monster, revealing its turbid eyes: "It's not just an even number; they have three heads, three pairs of eyes, each a different color. The left eye on the crying face is gray, the middle eye on the expressionless face is pure black, and the right eye on the smiling face is dark red."

He pointed to the wall, his gaze sweeping over the dense array of eyes: "The correct entrance to the corridor must have a total number of eyes on the wall that is divisible by 3, and each group of three must correspond to the colors of gray, black, and red. A wall that conforms to this rule is the door to the next space."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but glance at Shen Ye.

And the young people were also very decisive:

"There's no time to verify if it's right or wrong, let's split up and look for it."

No one objected or questioned, which demonstrated their professionalism. Before a better solution was proposed, everyone immediately took action to verify its correctness.

Their figures moved like ghosts, swiftly skimming along the left wall, their eyes rapidly scanning the eyes on the wall, their mouths rapidly calling out numbers; the three from Tianfang held off the monsters' attacks while looking up to check the color groups, while the three from Modun held off the surging monster tide from both front and back, holding back most of the monsters.

Du Ziteng swung his sword and cut down a three-headed monster that was charging at him. He was also trying to search, but a wall covered with eyes left him somewhat bewildered.

Who can do this?

And it only took less than half a minute.

"found it."

Shen Ye's voice suddenly rang out, standing out clearly amidst the noisy roars.

Everyone immediately looked over.

It was an unremarkable wall, with yellowed wallpaper and mottled water stains, no different from any other wall. But the wall was covered with seventy-two pairs of eyes, an even number, and divisible by 3. More importantly, the eyes were arranged in groups of three, in gray, black, and red, so neatly arranged as if engraved, that the pattern was impossible to discern without close inspection.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Shen Ye.

After all... he was the one who discovered the pattern, and only half a minute has passed, yet he's already found it too?

"I'll give it a try!"

Du Ziteng took the lead. This was a strong team, and even Brother Shen could contribute with his wisdom. He couldn't let them down.

As he reached out to touch it, the wall rippled like water, and his fingertips slowly sank in.

"It's a door! That's right!" Du Ziteng exclaimed excitedly.

"Walk!"

Without hesitation, everyone immediately got to work.

At both ends of the corridor, more and more three-headed monsters were appearing, and a stench filled the air.

Du Ziteng and Raven were the first to squeeze in sideways, followed closely by the other two teams.

At this moment, only Shen Ye remained standing in the same spot.

What is he doing?

The group had already stepped into the spatial portal, but they noticed that Shen Ye did not immediately come out from there, and their eyes were filled with confusion.

Why aren't you coming over yet?

"I don't know..." Du Ziteng wanted to go back and urge Shen Ye, but his hand touched the wall and there was no ripple.

"This can only be done in one direction."

Meanwhile, Shen Ye on the other side was not in a hurry to go over.

He silently counted the seconds in his mind.

From the moment they stepped into this circular corridor to the moment they discovered the body and stopped their standoff, exactly nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds had passed.

Nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds!

The warning on the wall clearly states not to stay in the same place for more than ten minutes.

But he was curious to see what would happen if he stayed for a full ten minutes.

[Duration of stay: 10 minutes and 00 seconds]

And this moment.

Shen Ye's eyes flickered slightly, because he sensed it.

Here, a chilling change is taking place.

A strange, subtle movement arose, accompanied by the stench of decay and blood...

All the charging three-headed monsters, which were roaring and baring their fangs and claws just a second ago, suddenly seemed to have all their strength drained away, and their whole bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

They slowly lowered their three heads, their six eyes filled with extreme fear. Their crying faces were streaked with tears and snot, their laughing faces were stiff and distorted, and the face in the middle was scrunched up in terror.

"Plop, plop"

The sound of kneeling echoed continuously.

Hundreds of three-headed monsters knelt neatly on the damp carpet, not daring to raise their heads, as if welcoming some supreme being.

Then, the countless hand-painted eyes on the wall suddenly came to life.

The whites of the eyes and pupils slowly emerged from the dark, blood-red paint, and all eyes turned at the same time to the darkness at the deepest part of the corridor, as if bowing or watching.

The next second, dark red blood slowly seeped from each eye, flowing down the yellowed wallpaper and leaving twisted blood streaks on the wall.

One wall, two walls... the walls of the entire corridor were seeping blood, and the concentration of blood and pollution in the air instantly soared to its extreme.

An indescribable sense of terror slowly awakened from the darkness at the deepest part of the corridor.

There were no roars, no footsteps, only that cold, deathly silence, seemingly all-consuming aura, spreading like mercury across the entire corridor.

Some of the weaker three-headed monsters couldn't withstand the aura and their bodies suddenly exploded, turning into a pool of filthy blood, without even being able to let out a scream.

In the darkness, something moved slightly.

This entire corridor seems to be surging.

wrong.

It's not just a feeling, it's really moving.

The surrounding walls, floors, and even the lights seemed to come alive!

[You died because you disturbed ??? by staying longer (B)]

[You died because you disturbed ??? by staying longer (A)]

[...and died (S)]

In just one minute, Shen Ye saw the death line visibly thicken, and even after it turned into an S, it didn't stop.

A deadly danger seemed poised to devour Shen Ye.

Even Little Evil couldn't help but scream in panic.

"Damn it, get out of here!"

"Or just throw me over there! You might as well die here yourself!"

"There's no need for that. We're brothers who'll live and die together." Although Shen Ye said that, he had already seen the information he wanted to see.

And the next moment.

boom!

A deadly noise rang in my ears!

"Walk."

Without hesitation, Shen Ye took a step back and disappeared into the rippling wall.

The spot where he had been standing was now completely sealed shut by the wall!

There were no broken stones or sand in the wall, only a chilling sound!

And a terrifying whisper!

"I saw it...I saw it..."

"I'm so hungry..."

"I'm so hungry..."

The cold, tiled floor was stained with black water, and felt slightly sticky when stepped on.
