Huh? Is Master Xu Xi really not planning to go out?
I took a look, Yu Hao and the others haven't gone out either.
Even 248 chose to stay quietly and safely in his room. Probably something terrifying is outside ().
The young man on the screen heard the noises outside his door. He didn't even turn his head, just focused intently on the flickering oil lamp on the table, his face showing no trace of curiosity or impulse to act.
"......" Ji Yang couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Had he misjudged? Was the young man's next puzzle piece not the Shen Residence after Zi Hour?
Or perhaps the other party had actually deduced something already.
He could understand the choices of the other players.
After all, with insufficient information, unclear rules, and an explicit warning that "you must not leave your room after Zi Hour," rashly opening the door to investigate was far more likely to be actively stepping into a trap than obtaining clues.
So they chose the safer strategy—remain still to counter movement, observe the changes first.
But Xu Xi... clearly, his previous actions weren't of this style.
The other party's behavior was too unpredictable, making it impossible to ever guess his next move.
Ji Yang didn't think the young man was staying obediently in his room out of caution or a desire for safety. In fact, he believed the opposite was true.
This sudden compliance from the other party seemed more like it was based on some judgment he had already made, believing that acting now was worse than staying still, or that going out right now was simply unnecessary.
Damn, good thing Master Xu Xi didn't go out. Being with that Hang Ze kid definitely means trouble.
? Did Hang Ze go out? I just saw him getting ready to sleep.
He did go to sleep. He was chopped awake by that footman seeking revenge for his brother. The two of them are still doing the "King of Qin circles the pillar" routine in the room.
And then he circled himself right out the door?

Ji Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and swiftly switched screens.

Inside the instance.
Xu Xi finally regained his composure.
Annoying. Extremely annoying.
This feeling was like gathering all your strength, ready to smash through that wall with all your might, only to fail to even scratch the paint.
Frustrating. Extremely frustrating.
It seemed like he had the reload, but in reality, he was restricted everywhere.
He stood up and walked towards the carved wooden bed inside.
Screw breaking walls.
He was going to sleep!
After taking two steps, Xu Xi suddenly remembered his teammate with the earring.
Since the reload brought him back to the point before he left the room, it proved that if he went out, the outcome would be certain death.
So...
Buddy, you're on your own.
Passing by the dressing table, Xu Xi's footsteps abruptly halted.
"......" He turned his head slightly, glancing at the bronze mirror on the table.
The mirror's surface vaguely reflected his figure, and nothing seemed unusual.
Xu Xi withdrew his gaze, walked straight to the bed, and lay down decisively.
Comfortable.
Clearing the instance or whatever, he'd deal with it tomorrow.

Xu Xi was utterly bewildered.
He tilted his head and looked, finding himself standing just one step away from the dressing table.
"......" He remembered falling asleep pretty quickly after lying down on the bed?
So what had he triggered this time?
Did he just... sleep to death??
Tsk.
Irritating. Extremely irritating.
They won't even let a guy sleep now!
After pondering carefully for a while, Xu Xi's gaze settled on that bronze mirror.
Thinking it over, he felt this thing had the highest probability of being suspicious.
Thus, the netizens in the live stream watched helplessly as the young man walked to a point almost near the dressing table, then his footsteps halted abruptly and without warning.
He didn't pause to examine it, nor did he show any hint of strangeness. Instead, he decisively picked up the bronze mirror from the dressing table, then turned, pulled open the door, swung his arm, and threw the mirror out.
He didn't even spare another glance outside the door, as if he had just casually tossed out a piece of troublesome trash.
The door closed again. The young man clapped his hands lightly, walked with an indifferent expression to the carved wooden bed hung with light blue gauze curtains, lay down fully clothed, and closed his eyes.
The entire sequence of actions was crisp, decisive, and even carried a hint of an indescribable... roughness.
???
He just... threw it out? Just like that?
Alright, confirmed. That mirror is problematic.
Could you say something we don't already know?
Maybe he thought the mirror was in the way, affecting his sleep? (just kidding)
But is Master Xu Xi really going to sleep just like that?
From the perspective of the live stream comments, the young man seemed to have specifically waited until after Zi Hour, confirmed some situation, then couldn't be bothered to stay up any longer and directly chose to rest.
But none of them understood why he had to throw the mirror out.
Until they switched perspectives and saw what happened to the other players.
Holy crap, as expected of 248, directly exorcising evil through physics.
Except for Xing Ge who's keeping vigil and Hang Ze surviving in the Mourning Hall, everyone else got hit.
But it's not quite the same. Shi Weiwei and Tang Shutong were attacked, but Yu Hao and Lin Zuo were fine.
I know why! The human figures reflected in Shi Weiwei and Tang Shutong's bronze mirrors weren't them!
Right, right. The ones in Yu Hao and Lin Zuo's mirrors were them, but their movements were different.
But the situations Yu Hao and Lin Zuo encountered were also pretty strange.
I think it's possible they haven't met the conditions to be attacked yet?
OMG, folks, hurry to Hang Ze's live stream! Taking you first-person perspective immersive experience of lying in the coffin!
