Bai Chen's reply, though brief, was nothing short of a bucket of cold water poured over Su Qun's head.

A refreshing coolness, a feeling of exhilaration.

【playboy】:???

[Playboy]: What do you mean? Isn't this door I painstakingly found the way out? ???

[Bai]: Calculate the way out of the first stage.

[Bai]: Think about it carefully and you'll understand. You're no longer in the original world. You didn't think that monster came from our world, did you? Whatever is behind the door, it's definitely not the normal world you think it is.

[Bai]: You can try to explore, but I suggest you don't go too far. The key to whether you can come back is still the stairwell itself.

[Bai]: I'll send you some things later, remember to check your inbox.

[Bai]: I remember, stay calm.

[Playboy]: (ಥ_ಥ)

He glanced back at the half-open door, rolled his eyes, and put his phone back in his pocket.

He was indeed a bit blinded by victory before. Upon closer reflection, this door could never be the way out. Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. The saying "second hurdle" is more fitting.

"This is like some kind of level-based game..."

While muttering to himself, Suqun leaned against the wall and listened intently to the sounds coming from upstairs.

After waiting patiently for a while, until the sound gradually faded away, Su Qun secretly opened the door.

Even so, the sound of the door being pulled open was still extremely loud in the quiet, enclosed space. Fortunately, the other party had already gone far enough upstairs, so there was no need to worry about them hearing the commotion.

Just like the original layout of the building, after coming out of the stairwell, the first thing that caught his eye was the two elevators facing each other.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Qun initially held onto a sliver of hope that he had returned to the real world. However, when he took a few steps outside and saw the full panorama of this world, he was completely dumbfounded.

It wasn't until much later that he uttered an incredulous mutter to himself.

"What...what kind of place is this?"

Just like the scene he had seen through the window in the stairwell before, as far as the eye could see, there was an endless expanse of tall buildings that seemed to replicate themselves infinitely. There were no lights inside the buildings, and they stood densely packed on this land, like dark tombstones.

As far as the eye could see, these buildings stretched to the blurry horizon, endless and almost despairing.

Moreover, the air here is stagnant; there is no wind, no sound, only a deathly stillness that makes it almost impossible to breathe.

Compared to the buildings, the scene before me looks more like a huge graveyard.

...But that's far from all.

Standing in the shadows under the eaves, Suqun slowly looked up at the night sky above.

In this world devoid of any artificial light, moonlight is the sole source of illumination, and simultaneously... it is also the greatest source of anomalies.

It was extremely large and extremely bright; even though he was on the fifth floor, he could still clearly see the moon in the night sky.

The moonlight was bright and clear, its radiance like flowing water.

No matter where it is placed, this should be an extremely beautiful image... if it weren't for the human face on it.

The face was extremely beautiful, almost taking up the entire lunar surface. Its lines were soft, carrying a classical and tranquil beauty. She was closing her eyes at the moment, and her long, thick eyelashes cast two fan-shaped shadows in the pale light, as if she were sleeping peacefully.

Despite her stunningly beautiful face, for some reason, just one glance at the moon in the sky caused Suqun to feel a surge of intense dizziness and nausea.

In an instant, he felt as if the world was spinning, as if he were inside a wildly spinning washing machine, unable to distinguish east from west, only feeling intense nausea and dizziness.

Even so, he still showed no intention of looking away, and even tried to take a few steps forward to embrace the moonlight.

Just as he was about to step into the moonlight... Su Qun punched himself hard in the groin.

In an instant, accompanied by a heart-wrenching pain, Suqun's body bent into a bow shape, collapsing to the ground in agony like a cooked shrimp.

He successfully regained control of his body... in a way that was almost mutually destructive.

Because the pain was so intense, Su Qun lay on the ground for nearly half an hour before he slowly recovered.

...The first thing he did after recovering was to quickly take off his pants to check if he was alright.

"Phew... this thing is really weird."

After a long while, Suqun leaned back against the wall and let out a long breath.

He had a premonition that if he had actually stepped into the moonlight, he might not have died, but he would have definitely fallen into a situation ten thousand times worse than death.

No longer daring to look out, Suqun leaned against the wall to stand up and tried to return to the stairwell.

The outside is a dead end; the real way out is probably inside the stairwell.

But before he could even push open the door, his expression changed instantly.

He had lingered for too long. The heavy footsteps in the hallway had already gone downstairs, and judging from the sound, they were at most half a floor away from his floor, and the footsteps were noticeably more hurried.

—Clearly, the other party has already discovered him.

After looking around, without any hesitation, Su Qun decisively rushed towards the elevator.

Running outside means certain death, but running towards the elevator might offer a glimmer of hope. After all, although the elevator in the original world is broken, this is not the same world.

...He made the right bet.

Just as the monster rushed out of the stairwell door, Su Qun entered the belated elevator.

"Hurry, hurry, elevator god, please bless us!!!"

While rapidly pressing the close button, listening to the heavy footsteps rushing towards him from outside, Suqun felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

As it turns out, he was quite lucky.

Just as the monster reached the elevator door, the door closed, and at that moment, Su Qun finally saw the monster's true appearance.

It was like stuffing several people together and kneading them into a lump of flesh. The monster that was chasing him looked like a giant ball of flesh made up of dozens of people, except that it was covered with hands, feet and a head.

Su Qun had sharp eyes; the moment the elevator doors closed completely, he even saw one of the heads with its mouth open, silently pleading for help.

...He seemed to know where those who had disappeared here had gone.
