The ashes from the burning cigarettes were lifted up and fell indiscriminately into the darkness in front of them, scattering on the ground.

The next second, on the corridor floor illuminated by red light, two blank areas gradually appeared between the gray-white soot.

That's a pair of footprints.

Very close at hand, motionless, just standing outside the office door, waiting for them silently.

"!!!"

The moment they saw the pair of footprints in the soot, a chill suddenly ran down everyone's spine.

"Idiot!"

The barrage couldn't help but use foul language.

The footprints were too close to them. As long as the anchors took a step out of the office, they would run straight into them.

They simply couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

Simply creepy.

"How... how could this happen?" Wei Cheng's pupils narrowed slightly, and he asked in disbelief.

When he just approached the door, he did not notice any danger at all.

This shouldn't be the case!

"I think it's because it hasn't 'found' us yet." The young man's angry voice sounded from behind.

Ai Cheng turned around and looked.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and stared at the door for a moment, his face getting paler under the light.

"Don't forget, when we were outside the office before, we couldn't capture any information inside the office. Even the prophet couldn't find out the whereabouts of the key through the door."

In other words, no matter what the reason is, the office can block detection.

Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that the owner of the footprints did not follow him into the room, but stood motionless at the door waiting.

Since it "doesn't know" where they are, there is no threat, so Acropolis' talent cannot be sensed.

Only when they step out of the office will the real danger strike.

Staring at the pair of footprints outside the door, Wei Cheng took a step back with lingering fear.

"Then...what exactly is this thing?"

"I think," Hugo said suddenly, "it followed from the guard room."

Just now, he smelled smoke.

This is part of his talent, so Hugo is more sensitive to it.

He discovered that the smell he had just smelled after the cigarette burned out did not come from the office, but came from the corridor.

It was this that made him aware of the threat outside the door.

"After entering the administration building, I only scattered cigarette ashes once."

Hugo lowered his eyes, looked deeply at the pair of footprints on the ground, and said.

"Just before going up to the second floor."

The purpose of spreading the cigarette ashes was to prevent the "things" in the guard room from following him, but obviously, for some reason, he failed.

The thing still chased them to the second floor.

"..."

Although they were mentally prepared before entering the administration building, everyone still felt a bone-deep chill at this moment.

Like other places in this copy of [Yuying Comprehensive University], the difficulty of the entire administrative building is simply terrifying.

They had only been here for half an hour at most, but they had already encountered several fatal life-and-death crises, and were even forced to separate from their teammates. If it hadn't been for good luck just now, even if there was a psychic like Wei Cheng in the team who could predict danger.

, they would also step out of the office without even realizing it, and come face to face with the thing standing outside the door.

Even if they are experienced and respond promptly, there is a high possibility of attrition.

Wei Cheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat without realizing it.

He stared at the pair of motionless footprints on the ground and asked:

"Then, what should we do next?"

There is only one door in the office, and this door is now blocked. If you want to leave here, you have almost no choice but to step out and activate it.

Could it be that...are they going to have a head-on conflict with it no matter what?

For a moment, everyone in the room fell into silence, the atmosphere was oppressive and dead, and everyone felt heavy.

"..."

Wen Jianyan closed her eyes, as if struggling with something.

Ever since he realized the true rules of the Nightmare Anchor's talent a few dungeons ago, he has consciously avoided actively using his talent. Even if he became a high-level anchor, he climbed into the top ten again. The number of times the talent was used and the level strength

, cooling time, all have been improved by more than one level.

Now, as copies come one by one, his apple tree is already in full bloom, with small white flowers falling all over the branches. There are abundant fruits, but no one has picked them.

A familiar system sound came to my ears:

"Are you sure to activate the talent?"

Although they have been lucky so far and have not suffered any casualties, you must know that this is only the second floor.

And Hugo has also started to use his talent.

They have broken all the rules. Although the teachers in the building have temporarily left, the danger has not been completely eliminated. Not to mention, their current temporary safety is based on the actions of Orange Tang and others. Once that happens

If something unexpected happens, all dangers will break out at the same time.

Although I can barely maintain my sanity for the time being, but...

Let's face reality. Judging from the current sanity level, once an accident occurs, there is a high probability that he will be the first to fall off.

No matter what, we can't delay it any longer.

The longer it takes, the more terrifying they may face next.

If it is delayed until the ideological and moral courses are over and the vice-principal returns to the administration building, they may really have to die.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

The next second, a small white apple blossom floated silently down from the sky and landed in his palm.

It seems that as the talent is upgraded, like Su Chenghugo and others, his talent has begun to materialize when activated.

[Flower of Deception] is activated.

"It's not impossible to just force it." Hugo stared at the void in the corridor, his expression was still calm, but the solemnity in his eyes could not be dissipated, "I will go out first, Acropolis, you come with me

…”

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Jianyan.

"Don't do that."

"?" Several people were startled and looked over.

"The 'thing' standing outside the door now is actually the doorman of the administrative building." Wen Jianyan said slowly, "The degree of its terror is directly linked to the rules we abide by."

Now it's not a question of "failed to follow a rule", it's a question of them not following any rules.

In other words, the current security guards are almost unfathomably terrifying.

So when Wen Jianyan was on the first floor, even though Wen Jianyan's san value had returned to a value close to 20, he could still feel such a strong sense of oppression.

If they abide by all the rules, then there is still a chance of winning when facing the guard, but in the current situation, the best result will also lead to the death of at least one person.

After Wen Jianyan finished speaking, the already tense air became even more depressing.

The heavy atmosphere makes one almost breathless.

Although they didn't know where Wen Jianyan's information came from, their intuition told them that what Wen Jianyan said was true.

Administration building.

This is supposed to be a hidden area in an A-level dungeon, but its level of danger can almost surpass that of some S-level dungeons.

It's simply full of dangers, with murderous intent at every step.

"……don’t worry."

Wen Jianyan leaned against one of the booths and raised his eyes to stare at the other teammates in front of him. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were calm: "It's not that there is nothing we can do."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"The office does isolate perception, so we cannot observe in advance from outside the door to the inside, but the key to the problem does not lie in the door."

Wen Jianyan said.

"That is?" Su Cheng asked.
