Lu Shui Shui looked at Duan Chen reluctantly, "I don't want to! I want to be with brother."
Long Yi couldn't help but make a gagging expression.
He couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Are you guys done? What are you pretending to be? Brother, brother, Lu Shui Shui, are you a hen?"
Wang Zi Hao looked at Long Yi reproachfully.
He rebuked, "Enough, Ah Yi. I know you haven't accepted this yet, but how can you insult a girl like that? You've really disappointed me."
Su Bai Yi stepped forward to block Long Yi.
"Alright, alright, everyone, don't argue. I'm truly sorry. My younger brother has never left home much, and has caused trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry."
Wang Zi Hao's expression improved slightly, but his tone was still lecturing.
"Since Bai Yi has said so, we'll let it go for your sake and won't pursue this matter further."
"It's probably not easy for you girls to tidy up the room, so let us help you first."
Wang Zi Hao spoke, and while speaking, he looked at Long Yi, who was standing aside with a furious expression, and without a word, grabbed him and pulled him up.
"You come with me too. Don't always try to be lazy just because you're young."
Pushing and shoving, they entered one of the rooms, and everyone's expression changed instantly.
With Long Yi still wearing an expression of "You must be crazy," they quickly began to make arrangements.
Tian Xi Meng took out various parts from her backpack and began to assemble them, and then a small soundproofing artifact took shape in her hands.
She inserted an energy cell into the small soundproofing artifact in her hand and placed it on the ground.
A flash of light, and it was successfully activated.
Duan Chen's expression improved significantly and he said, "Since that's the case, let's first discuss the problems we've discovered in this village."
Su Bai Yi nodded solemnly, no longer bothering to maintain her image, as there was no opportunity for her to charm anyone here anyway.
She recalled Xu Lao Liu's expression and shuddered.
"As far as we've encountered, the people here seem to have a high regard for unmarried women, especially virgins."
Lu Shui Shui nodded thoughtfully.
"According to what the instructor and I discussed, when we pretended that we had already eaten the forbidden fruit, the villager who led us had a drastic change in emotions."
"He even harbored malice towards me."
Tian Xi Meng said calmly.
"Perhaps it's because I haven't shown much of myself, so my attitude towards me has hardly fluctuated at all."
Wang Zi Hao offered his thoughts, "The attitude towards males is colder, but I still felt a slight greed from them. I don't know what that means."
Except for Long Yi, everyone else had their own conclusions.
Only he was still lost in the confusion of why the roles had suddenly changed.
Duan Chen glanced at Long Yi, who still seemed somewhat dazed. Pandora transformed into a dagger and circled in his hand.
"In that case, this place is inherently very strange. However, for now, we cannot determine what exactly has happened here."
More investigation was needed to uncover what had transpired.
Duan Chen took a deep breath and continuously pulled out more items from his spatial ring.
Wang Zi Hao's eyes lit up.
His tone carried a hint of sour jealousy that he himself didn't notice.
"Instructor, you're really rich!"
And this wasn't something money could buy.
Duan Chen heard him speak, looked down at his hand, and smiled slightly.
"If you want one, you can have one too."
"How is that possible?" Wang Zi Hao asked in disbelief.
Storage rings were not something one could simply get if they wanted them.
If it were as simple as Duan Chen said, none of them would be carrying such large bags. If they could simplify things, who would want to burden themselves?
Duan Chen thought for a moment and explained the origin of his ring.
He held the ring up in his hand.
Attracting everyone's attention.
"This ring is spoils of war I confiscated in a battle. The rules in Su Cheng are different from other places. If you complete the mission perfectly, you can basically distribute the spoils of war you capture yourself."
"If you are lucky enough to encounter an enemy with such an item next time, you can also obtain a spatial ring."
Hua Ying Gang Lu's eyes lit up in unison, like shining light bulbs. Although they didn't continue the topic, everyone took Duan Chen's words to heart.
Duan Chen laid out various items he had taken out on the ground.
"What are these things?"
Long Yi looked through them with some confusion.
He had never seen the items Duan Chen had taken out.
Duan Chen didn't explain, but began assembling all the items he had taken out. Tian Xi Meng's eyes lit up with a flicker of excited anticipation.
She wished she could take over and do it herself.
However, unfortunately, Duan Chen didn't give her the chance.
In a short period, a somewhat strange machine appeared under his hands.
It was at this moment that Duan Chen began to introduce the use of this machine.
"This is a machine newly developed by Su Cheng, which can observe spiritual energy fluctuations within a certain range."
"It operates on the same principle as ancient seismographs."
"This time, besides eliminating the mission target here, we also need to deal with the strange events, thoroughly investigate the formation of the strangeness here, and upload a report."
The others knew these things even without Duan Chen saying them.
However, Duan Chen still gave them a reminder.
He fiddled with the machine in front of him and then pushed it under the bed.
At this moment, Lu Shui Shui's brain suddenly malfunctioned and she blurted out, "Speaking of which, if this were a supernatural horror movie, then at this moment, if you were to bend down and look under the bed... you'd probably be killed by something under the bed."
Silence fell after her words.
Lu Shui Shui nervously covered her mouth.
"Why is everyone so quiet? Did I say something wrong?"
Duan Chen's somewhat muffled voice came.
"You didn't say wrong."
"You also reminded me."
He looked up, and Pandora in his hand directly transformed into a gun and was pressed against his chin.
Bang!
Blood splattered.
