Dungeon exit.
Qi Nian continuously calculated the thods she thought of.
She clearly knew that she wasn’t a smart person; her decisions were often both impulsive and bold.
However... she was very lucky.
Those impulsive decisions always succeeded, will it work this ti too?
Qi Nian didn’t know, but she had no other choice.
Just as she was about to turn and take a step, a cold hand suddenly pressed on her shoulder.
Qi Nian’s whole body stiffened, and a wave of despair surged forth.
But then, a familiar voice rang out.
"Don’t go."
Qi Nian’s heart trembled, she turned, and in surprise said:
"Sister Zhi Fei!"
The tense and desperate nerves suddenly relaxed, and Qi Nian instinctively threw herself onto Xu Zhifei.
Just now, she had truly been frightened, and images from the past even began to appear in her mind.
Being hugged by Qi Nian, Xu Zhifei’s body stiffened, but she didn’t move.
Feeling Qi Nian’s constant trembling, Xu Zhifei, who had seen the first scene of the script, understood the tornt Qi Nian had just experienced.
She quietly extended her hand, about to place it on Qi Nian’s shoulder, but then silently withdrew it, simply standing quietly while Qi Nian held onto her.
However, Xu Zhifei might not know that what truly triggered Qi Nian’s fear was actually that cold hand just now.
After a long while, Qi Nian awkwardly ca out from Xu Zhifei’s embrace.
"Miss Xu... why are you here..."
Xu Zhifei remained silent, not explaining to Qi Nian the thrilling experience she just had.
She only said, "Keep the key safe, don’t go back."
"Huh?" Qi Nian looked at Xu Zhifei in confusion, it seed as if she knew what Qi Nian had encountered.
"But... if we don’t go back, doesn’t that an we haven’t fulfilled the promise it made..."
Xu Zhifei shook her head, "There is no ti limit in your agreent."
She looked at Qi Nian seriously, and said, "As long as the key is with you, it proves you’re continuously fulfilling the agreent. Now, what you need to do is maintain this state until this task ends."
Qi Nian’s eyes widened slightly, and she recalled carefully...
It seed... there really was no ti agreed upon!
As long as she finds the key and keeps it with her, it proves she is in the process of fulfilling the promise! This way, she neither has to comply with the agreent nor breach it!
While they were talking, sothing eerie suddenly happened.
The sound of the storm suddenly stopped, and the night swiftly turned to day!
Not only that, but the space in front of Qi Nian and Xu Zhifei was also shrouded in mist, abruptly changing!
At this mont, with a script in her possession, Xu Zhifei faintly heard a sentence: "End of the first scene, no one dead."
When they could see clearly again, Qi Nian and Xu Zhifei found themselves back at the entrance hall!
It wasn’t just them, in front of them were also Bai Yanliang, Song Que, and Liu Ruonan!
"Xu Zhifei!"
An excited voice rang out, and Xu Zhifei turned to see it was Song Que.
He walked up, reaching out to press Xu Zhifei’s shoulder, but Xu Zhifei dodged it.
She coldly looked at Song Que, "What’s up?"
Song Que, still full of excitent, happily said, "I thought you were dead! It’s so good that you’re okay."
Xu Zhifei frowned slightly, there was sothing very wrong with Song Que.
His emotions were too heavily controlled by the script, yet he hadn’t realized it himself.
At this point, Bai Yanliang looked around at the surroundings.
The night abruptly turning to day, rain stopping, sun coming out, all of it was reminiscent of film transitions.
Films don’t show every single mont; once the plot progresses, it imdiately cuts to the next scene, the next ti point.
Bai Yanliang felt that this was the current state, a segnt of the plot... was already fild.
However... if this were the case, one person’s presence seed very strange.
Liu Ruonan.
His gaze unabashedly fell on her.
"Bai... sir?" Liu Ruonan’s eyes still held fear and shock, she looked as though she didn’t understand why the tiline suddenly leaped so much.
She also didn’t understand why Bai Yanliang, who was affectionately calling her sister monts ago, suddenly reverted and looked at her with an extrely unsettling gaze.
Monts later, not only Bai Yanliang but also Qi Nian, Xu Zhifei, and Song Que’s gazes fell on Liu Ruonan.
This woman... sothing’s off.
If, say, this were a movie.
As characters in the movie, although they appeared to share the sa space with Bai Yanliang and the three, they weren’t on the sa tiline. In other words, Bai Yanliang and the others felt like they instantaneously transitioned from night to day. But for those in the movie, an entire night had actually passed.
The evidence was that Ouyang Kang, Wang Rui, Zhan Yunhong, Lin Dayou, they weren’t transported back after the first scene ended. But why... was Liu Ruonan brought back to the hall with Bai Yanliang and the others?
This might indicate... she wasn’t supposed to be in the story originally.
She most likely, like Bai Yanliang and the group, was a misfortune temporarily written into the script, forced to execute the task.
Bai Yanliang glanced at the clock, the current ti was... half past ten.
At least twelve hours had passed since last night.
Though he had not experienced these twelve hours, the ti in the movie indeed went by, so... that five-year-old’s activity period had ended, and he appeared.
Everyone in the hall was staring at Liu Ruonan, making the woman extrely nervous.
Until Lin Dayou and the others arrived.
"Ah... hey," Lin Dayou yawned and greeted everyone, "Morning, searched most of the night last night and didn’t even find a hint of the three million, how about you?"
"The sa, Xiao Rui and I scoured the third floor and found nothing, it’s really strange..." said Ouyang Kang.
Zhan Yunhong stood to the side, coldly watching everyone, without speaking.
Listening to their conversation, Bai Yanliang and the others exchanged glances.
Just as expected, these four were originally in the movie, they actually experienced a night of real ti, unlike Bai Yanliang and the group who just skimd through.
Nine people were divided into three distinct groups.
Bai Yanliang and the others, Lin Dayou and Ouyang Kang with Wang Rui, and Zhan Yunhong and Liu Ruonan standing separately.
Especially Liu Ruonan.
Everyone looked at her, the woman standing alone, staring dazedly at the bright sunlight outside the window.
Though she seed sowhat pitiable, now was not the ti for sympathy. She was strange, and if her identity wasn’t clarified, big trouble could arise.
"Could it be possible she’s like us? Also from the ’outside’ world?" wondered Song Que.
"Yeah... could she also be from a space similar to Fog Gathering? Carrying out a mission?" speculated Qi Nian.
Bai Yanliang shared a similar thought.
But at this mont, Xu Zhifei took out an A4 paper and handed it to everyone.
"She might be the one who wrote the script."
