Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

After the black fog dissipated, Shi Jinwei found herself standing at the entrance of the photo studio.

The surrounding scenery hadn't changed much, but the eeriness on the streets was gone.

Two women in cheongsams hurried past the photo studio, saying, "Hey, hurry up, hurry up! I heard this place is haunted."

"What bad luck, I should have taken a different route."

She turned around, and pedestrians on the street hurried by, immediately looking away when they saw the photo studio.

It was as if they had seen something dirty.

In the glass mirror at the entrance of the photo studio, Shi Jinwei saw her completely new look:

He was wearing a baseball cap, a white shirt, suit pants, and a plaid vest.

He looks kind of handsome.

The door to the photo studio was pushed open from the inside, and a woman in a cheongsam poked her head out: "I've been waiting for you for ages. What have you been dawdling about outside for?"

A familiar face came into view; it was Qipao Gui.

However, the woman in question is not a monster, but rather in human form.

She guessed that the timeline of this instance, like [Starry High School], was also "the past tense of the instance".

Seeing that she didn't move, the other person frowned and called out again.

Shi Jinwei quickly snapped out of her daze and followed the woman into the store.

Those around them whispered even more as they witnessed this.

"I already told you the situation yesterday, so I won't repeat it today. The shop is in your hands now. If you need anything, just ring the bell and I'll come down. You're not allowed to come up."

The woman in the cheongsam led the person in and was about to go upstairs when she remembered something and turned back: "Oh, right, here's the door key. Remember to lock the door tonight."

Shi Jinwei took the key and watched the woman disappear at the bottom of the stairs.

The high heels creaked on the stairs, creating a somewhat dull sound.

She was the only living person left in the house, so she wandered around inside for a while.

The shop has a small storefront but a fairly large interior space.

Besides the photo lab, there are many other sets.

Many of these old objects can only be seen on television; some are brightly colored and look brand new.

There is also a dedicated clothing area with a place for customers to do their makeup and styling.

Everything seemed normal; there was nothing strange about it.

Thinking about the tasks in the rules, and combining that with what those people at the door said about "haunting,"...

The most difficult task in this instance is probably "taking photos".

If this node hasn't developed any strange features yet, people outside won't dare to come in and take pictures.

The task of taking three photos is simply impossible to complete.

Shi Jinwei wondered whether she should "bent" two people on the street to come back and finish today's task first.

Then they heard what sounded like a noise coming from the dark room.

She was alone in the house now; the woman upstairs was quiet and still.

What is it? A ghost?

She stepped into the dark room, which was pitch black inside.

I instinctively reached for my flashlight, but then remembered the rules and immediately stopped myself.

The strange noises continued, and she groped along the wall until she found a wire.

It's not a modern push-button switch, but the earliest kind of switch that you pull by hand.

Pull the cord down, and the light comes on.

The room was dimly lit, with a warm yellow light.

The sound inside the room stopped instantly when the lights were turned on.

After thinking for a moment, she put on her night vision goggles and turned off the lights.

Sure enough, the sound started again, and she looked in the direction of the sound using her night vision goggles.

I saw a small, translucent thing bouncing around on the photo developing table.

It's only the size of a palm and very lively.

Without the lights, the little thing thought Shi Jinwei couldn't see it, and it bounced around happily.

It stopped moving again when Shi Jinwei lifted her foot and walked in its direction.

When Shi Jinwei walked up to it, the little thing completely disappeared.

Only a dual-lens camera remained on the table, very similar to the "Seagull Dual-Lens Camera" made in China in the real world.

She picked up the camera with both hands and examined it carefully, but couldn't make out anything.

She tapped the camera: "Come out."

Without a sound.

I knocked again, but there was no response.

After thinking for a moment, she took out an incense stick, lit it, and the wisps of fragrance spread through the dark room.

The dark room was not large, and soon the room was filled with the scent of sandalwood.

However, the camera remained unresponsive.

Shi Jinwei wasn't in a hurry; she stood there and tested her patience.

A few minutes later, the little thing finally couldn't resist and popped out of the camera.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a transparent, miniature version of a camera.

The words "[Camera Spirit]" are displayed above its head.

It made no sound, and its movements revealed a hint of timidity.

Seeing the human standing there steadily with the incense in hand, she tentatively circled around her once.

Shi Jinwei held the incense stick in her hand towards her, and it seemed to understand.

She happily spun around Shi Jinwei.

Shi Jinwei tried to communicate with it, but found it to be dull and completely unresponsive.

I tried taking a picture of it with the camera, and successfully heard the system announcement:

[Today's task completion: 1/3 of the photos taken.]

She was afraid that shooting the same thing repeatedly would result in the system failing the test or wasting film.

I didn't take a second picture and left the darkroom to continue wandering around the other rooms.

The camera was very sensitive to light, and it disappeared the moment Shi Jinwei opened the door to the darkroom.

After she closed the door to the secret room, she heard a soft sound coming from inside.

It's clear that it's very good at entertaining itself.

As I stepped out of the dark room, I heard sounds coming from upstairs.

The woman in the cheongsam changed her clothes and came downstairs: "I'm going out now, keep an eye on the shop."

Judging from this statement, she is probably the shop owner.

Shi Jinwei is a worker who was hired yesterday.

"Wait," she called out to the person who was about to leave.

The other person turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"I heard some strange noises coming from the dark room," she said.

His eyes were fixed on the woman's face, not missing a single subtle expression.

She couldn't just ask directly, "Why do people say the shop is haunted?" She had to find a more tactful way to phrase it.

Sure enough, upon hearing her question, the woman in the cheongsam's eyes flashed with fear, but her expression remained flawless: "You must have misheard me. How could that be? By the way, I won't be back tonight. Remember to lock the door tonight."

After saying that, he tossed a few copper coins to Shi Jinwei as payment for her meal.

Without giving her a chance to speak, leave quickly.

Seeing that no one would be coming into the shop after the person had gone, Shi Jinwei climbed up to the second floor without hesitation.

The rules said she should find her own dormitory, but didn't say she couldn't go up to the second floor.

I took advantage of the boss's absence to come up and check the situation.

Surprisingly, there was only one bedroom and one room with a memorial tablet on the second floor.

Besides the bed, clothes rack, wardrobe, and makeup mirror, there was nothing else in the bedroom.

There wasn't even a window.

The bed was neatly made, and old-fashioned cosmetics were displayed on the cabinet in front of the vanity mirror.

On the clothes rack hung that familiar cheongsam.

On the memorial tablet in the small room were strange symbols that Shi Jinwei couldn't understand.

In the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet, there were three sticks of incense that had just been lit, emitting wisps of smoke.

Shi Jinwei looked around but found nothing; the dormitory wasn't on the second floor either.

She went downstairs again and carefully walked around the shop, finally finding a small, inconspicuous door that was mostly covered up in the dark room.
