Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Old Zhou held his water glass without moving, just smiling as he looked at Su Bai.

Su Bai: "..."

Luo Zheng also took a glass of water, took a sip, and looked at the two of them: "Why aren't you drinking?"

Su Bai slowly took a sip of water, then glanced at Lao Zhou and said calmly, "He's afraid it's poisoned."

Old Zhou chuckled when he saw that they had both drunk some: "I'm just being polite."

Luo Zheng's lips twitched, and he moved his mouth, but he couldn't find the words to describe Lao Zhou for a long time. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.

There was plenty of water here, and everyone drank cup after cup.

The youngest man among Huang Xiang's group, after finishing his drink and letting out a burp, asked timidly, "Are there any rules about drinking water?"

The once lively scene fell into dead silence because of his words.

The man shrank back in fear as everyone stared at him.

Luo Zheng glanced at him and said calmly, "It's alright. We drank first. If anything happens, it'll be us."

The man lowered his head in embarrassment.

Huang Xiang was not familiar with the man, who was brought by Xu Chen, but since he was with her, his actions represented her face.

She still had to clean up the mess, so she had no choice but to step forward and say to Luo Zheng, "Since there's water, and I see there's meat outside, let's cook it while there's no problem now."

Luo Zheng hesitated: "We haven't found any clues yet. We don't know if that meat is a clue. Maybe we should wait a little longer."

Huang Xiang's face stiffened for a moment, then she said, "Alright, let's continue looking for clues."

After drinking the water, everyone dispersed.

Su Bai and Lao Zhou were still searching in the kitchen.

Old Zhou looked through the kitchen cabinets and found nothing but cups and a pot.

Su Bai looked at the cup in his hand.

Seeing him staring blankly at the cup, Old Zhou walked over and glanced inside. "It's spotless inside, not even a pattern on it. What are you looking at?"

Su Bai said, "Of course you can't see anything like that."

He walked to the pool and refilled the cup with water.

Looking at the bottom of the cup again, you can see two characters.

Old Zhou murmured, "To be born."

Su Bai said, "Fill the other cups with water as well."

Old Zhou immediately got to work, filling the other four cups with water, and the words inside appeared one by one: "Self-sufficiency, Profound Flow, No Rumors, No Involvement".

Old Zhou became excited: "Is this a clue?"

His voice was loud, and he mentioned a clue, so people outside rushed over.

Old Zhou gestured for everyone to look at the words inside the cup.

Each cup contains two characters, and there are five cups, so there are ten characters in total.

However, the clues are usually twelve-character proverbs.

After analyzing the situation, Luo Zheng asked, "Is there still one cup missing? Are there any other cups?"

The young man who had previously questioned whether the water was poisonous said, "There's another one; I took it inside when I was drinking the water just now."

Luo Zheng said, "Go and get it quickly."

The man immediately turned and left.

Su Bai had already used the ten characters to repeatedly rearrange them and then arranged the twelve-character maxim: "No clamor, no peace; no entanglement in the deep stream." The last two characters should be combined with "to live" to form the way to break the deadlock, while the first two lines are the rules for surviving in the strange environment.

Everyone was very happy that the clues were almost complete.

However, the young man who went to get the cup did not return for a long time, and Su Bai realized that something was wrong.

After all, the room and the kitchen are only a few steps apart, and at least three minutes have passed since they started to piece together the clues.

"It's related to the clues," Su Bai said to Luo Zheng. "The person who went to get the cup hasn't returned yet."

Luo Zheng was trying to figure out the meaning behind Su Bai's words when Su Bai reminded him, and he asked in confusion, "They haven't come back yet? Should the person standing at the door go and see what's going on?"

Since the matter involved clues, Luo Zheng immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

The person leaning against the door was someone who had come in with Huang Xiang, and was stopped by Huang Xiang just as he was about to move.

Huang Xiang seemed to dislike Su Bai. After stopping him, she bypassed Luo Zheng and said to Su Bai, "We're all the same. If you have something to do, do it yourself. There's no need to bother others."

Huang Xiang's attitude toward Su Bai was too obvious; everyone present could see it.

Old Zhou frowned: "What do you mean?"

Huang Xiang said, "It means what it literally means."

Luo Zheng said, "Let's all keep quiet. We're not familiar with each other yet, but we'll get to know each other in a couple of days."

Old Zhou said bluntly, "Is it something that you can get to know someone after just two days? She's clearly targeting Su Bai, can't you see that? If you want to be a simp, that's your business, don't drag us into it."

Luo Zheng, having been exposed, lost face and his expression darkened instantly: "Old Zhou, it's fine if you make a fuss all the time, it's not that we can't argue with you, it's just that we don't agree with you, but don't go too far."

Luo Zheng's tone already carried a threat.

This time, Su Bai stopped Lao Zhou from speaking and said calmly, "Let's go see for ourselves."

After saying that, he pulled Lao Zhou around the people standing in the kitchen and walked out.

Su Bai didn't argue with the people; instead, his words were more forceful than any argument, as if he had unknowingly slapped them several times.

Kuroko then followed him out of the kitchen.

This dismissive attitude made Huang Xiang's face even uglier.

Luo Zheng knew that his words had offended Su Bai as well. He pursed his lips and didn't chase after them until Su Bai and Lao Zhou left the kitchen.

However, his expression wasn't much better when facing Huang Xiang.

He didn't mention Huang Xiang's name separately, but addressed everyone present: "In this strange realm, we may encounter danger at any time. No matter what dissatisfaction or prejudice you may have, I hope you can put it aside for now and work together to get out of this strange realm."

Luo Zheng was already being very polite by not mentioning Huang Xiang directly.

After saying that, he called Zheng Ge and they went out as well.

Huang Xiang stood still, her face turning pale and then red.

She's good-looking and has special abilities.

Huang Xiang was always pampered, and ordinary people like Su Bai would not even have the chance to get close to her under normal circumstances.

Today, Luo Zheng is on her side, but his last few words to her still revealed that he has a lot of opinions about her.

Inside the room, after Su Bai and Lao Zhou came out, they did not see the young man who had come out earlier, and there were several shards of glass in the middle of the floor.

Old Zhou, disregarding his anger towards those people, asked Su Bai with concern, "What should we do?"

Kuroko stood silently to the side without saying a word.

Su Bai chuckled lightly: "What's the rush? It's not like it's just us."

Old Zhou, recalling Huang Xiang's arrogance earlier, suddenly laughed: "Yeah, anyway, we're not the ones who's in a hurry."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge also came out.

Seeing that only Su Bai and Lao Zhou were in the room, Luo Zheng was slightly taken aback. He strode over to Su Bai and asked, "Where is everyone?"

Su Bai said calmly, "I don't know."

Luo Zheng opened his mouth, recalling how he had favored Huang Xiang in the kitchen earlier. Given Su Bai and Lao Zhou's indifferent attitude, he didn't ask any more questions, knowing that he would only get a cold shoulder if he did.
