Bai Ze immediately stood up and dragged Jun Li out. He spoke in a cold and serious voice: "We can't wait any longer! Go to the fifth floor right now to find the twins! As long as we unplug the radio and take the heart out of the vase, the mission should be accomplished!"

"Ah, ah, ah! Speaking of going to the fifth floor, we just took the elevator down and found that the highest it can go is the seventh floor! I don't know why there is no button for the eighth floor!"

Mo Jinan quickly interrupted, and this sentence made Bai Ze and Jun Li suddenly fall silent.

Apparently, they were both wondering whether the eighth floor of the hotel existed. Luo Zhi shook his head and whispered, "So far, we are trying to solve a side quest to get clues or weapons. As for whether the eighth floor can be reached by elevator, that is not something we can think about right now."

"Indeed, thinking too much at once can easily lead to a dead end. We should solve the incidents one by one. At least we should get hints and eliminate false clues or suspects before we can start thinking about the secrets of the hotel."

Bai Ze sighed: "Let's go to the room on the fifth floor first. The most urgent thing is to complete this side quest."

Several people got on the elevator all at once. This time the elevator was obviously a bit more crowded. Tourists like them seemed to have discovered something and began to form groups of five or six to try to find clues or weapons.

Jun Li didn't pay any attention to them, but after entering the elevator they did find that the elevator could only go to the seventh floor.

Jun Li couldn't help but think of the note he found in the stairwell...

"When time returns to the eighth day, the neglected truth awaits in the deepest part..."

"It is hidden among many lies...Please go back to the beginning..."

What's the meaning…

Jun Li glanced at Bai Ze. Since there was no intention to share the note at the moment, the two of them had to find a chance to communicate alone.

"Ding!"

After the elevator reached the third floor, the group of people left the elevator directly. The small space suddenly became much more spacious and even breathing became smoother.

Jun Li was afraid of squeezing Bai Ze, so he stood in front of Bai Ze and left a space for him alone. He took the opportunity to turn around and whisper in Bai Ze's ear.

"Shall we analyze the note tonight?"

Bai Ze raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, then leaned over to whisper in his ear: "That's exactly what I meant, but I don't think we can analyze anything."

"We can discuss as much as we want. I'm actually thinking about a question..."

"You two! You're kissing each other while riding in an elevator. I'm really impressed!"

Mo Jinan rolled his eyes and pulled Lin Jiayan to teach him a lesson: "You are not allowed to imitate Jun Li, do you hear me? Look at him, how shameless he is! He even kissed her while waiting for the elevator! He doesn't even treat us as outsiders!"

Jun Li coughed and didn't continue. Bai Ze gave him a look that said he would talk later and then gently pushed him away, also scolding: "You old rascal, do you have any shame? If you dare to touch me in front of so many people again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Jun Li: …

I am so fucking wronged!

Bai Ze straightened his collar calmly and rolled his eyes at Jun Li when the elevator door opened: "Tsk! Pervert!"

Jun Li: No...I...

The wife chose to harm her husband's reputation over her own...

Mr. Jun had to take the blame for his wife's reputation. His mouth twitched and he finally sighed.

However, as soon as they stepped into the corridor, a childish voice came directly...

"I can't see the oars... There's no sail on the boat..."

"Floating... floating..."

"Floating to the West..."

The child's voice that originally sounded soft and clear seemed so strange at this moment. Jun Li swallowed, took out the room card and swiped it in.

He had imagined too many scenes in his mind. It was very likely that he would see two disemboweled monsters staring at him as soon as he entered the door... or something worse...

"drop!"

Jun Li took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Surprisingly, there was no one else in the room except the tape recorder that kept playing songs.

"Hmm? Did we reason wrongly? Shouldn't those two kids be here?"

Zhou Ju made a "tsk" sound. This was her first time doing reasoning of this difficulty and she obviously didn't have as much experience as them. After all, Jun Li and Lin Jiayan had experienced many events and the difficulty was gradually increasing, which also gave them the opportunity to improve slowly.

“It’s right here.”

Bai Ze laughed and then said calmly: "Their location has already given us a hint, hasn't it?"

"Ah? What's the hint?"

Zhou Ju still didn't react, but Luo Zhi suddenly said: "That line of lyrics."

"What kind of boat can float in the water without oars and sails?"

"It's... a corpse..."

Zhou Ju suddenly paused and then said in disbelief: "The whole hotel room is similar to a lake... There is water... And the place where you can float is..."

"Bath...bathroom..."

Several people immediately looked towards the bathroom on the right side of the entrance. The bathroom was closed and extremely quiet inside. Bai Ze glanced at everyone and opened the door directly.

And in the big bathtub in the bathroom, there was a dead body floating face down in a big letter shape...

Rather than a corpse, it is more like the real body of one of the twins...

"you…"

Suddenly, a tender child's voice came from behind them. The child whose stomach had been ripped open and his internal organs were taken out appeared behind them with gray eyes...

His hands were wrapped in bloody intestines, and his fingers were gently turning the bloody intestines to change the pattern.

"Are you...looking for our heart..."

"Cross that Milky Way... and head toward the Cloud Country..."

The tape recorder was still playing "Little White Boat", but the twin children seemed to hate the song very much. They covered their ears and screamed, and suddenly became furious after seeing their twin brothers floating in the bathroom.

Jun Li quickly turned off the recorder and unplugged the power cord, and the singing stopped.

The child gasped and gradually calmed down. He walked past the crowd and reached out to help the twin brothers floating in the bathtub. After the singing stopped, the children in the water gradually woke up.

"Are you here to help us find the heart?"

The twins asked again, not knowing whether it was the older or younger brother, and Lin Jiayan replied directly: "If helping you find the heart can get clues or props, then we can help you."

The twins were stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and took out something that looked like a compass. They tilted their heads and said, "I have a prop here. Xiao Yu told me at the time that if anyone helps us find the heart, we should give them this compass."

"Xiao Yu?"

"correct."

The twin children frowned slightly and whispered: "Aren't you staying in the restaurant because you participated in Xiaoyu's game?"

Jun Li took the opportunity to ask: "Do you know where Xiao Yu is now? Why did he make this game? What made him become as evil as you?"

The twin brothers shook their heads gently: "I don't know. Xiao Yu suddenly appeared in the playground one day. He is a playful kid with many creative ideas. We all like to play games with him."

"He made this game just to play with you, but only through his game can humans survive."

One of the twins picked at his fingers and whispered, "He assigned props or small notes to each of us. The one I got was this compass prop... He said that if someone passed our mission, he would give them the item."

"What is this compass for?"

"Well…"

The twins thought for a while and said, "Oh! It can detect which one of you has been replaced by Li Gui! But the success rate is only 80%! Whoever the pointer points to is the one who has been replaced!"

He muttered again, "He told me this. I don't know the details. I'm just relaying his rules of the game to you."

Everyone was stunned. It was obvious that they had to get this compass! Even if the success rate was only 80%, it was high enough! After all, the probability of error was so small, and generally speaking, it would tend to be that 80%!
