"We seem to be turning a corner." Yue Yue grabbed Maple Sugar's clothes and looked around uneasily.
"We are going up," Maple Sugar smiled, "We should be almost at the first level."
A hazy white light was vaguely visible ahead.
The three of them walked faster and faster. This long corridor reached the end. As soon as they turned a corner, bright sunlight came over them.
The three of them couldn't help but cover their eyes.
"Light!" March's voice trembled with excitement, "There is light!"
This is a gallery-like passage.
Behind the three people is a flower window several meters high. The end of the passage ahead seems to be in ruins, and the sun shines in from the open hole.
"There are paintings," February said as he walked along the corridor and looked at the oil paintings hanging on the walls. "Each one is different..."
Happy girls, happy children.
The paintings here are filled with joy.
"There should be a painting here," Maple Sugar pointed to the vacant spot, "There are still traces of the hanging painting."
Maple Sugar said, reaching out to touch the wall. The moment his fingertips touched the wall, the sound of mechanical movement sounded from behind the wall.
The black door appears again.
"Do you want to go in here?" March looked at Maple Sugar.
A gallery of joy.
An empty black door.
Maple Sugar only thought for a moment, then led the two of them into the black door resolutely.
Palm-shaped wall sconces illuminate the darkness.
The ground beneath your feet has an obvious slope.
The three of them were confused, but they kept silent.
"There is a door ahead." February glanced at Maple Sugar.
At the end of the black path is a vermilion wooden door.
Maple Sugar tapped her finger, and the door creaked open.
Empty square hut.
The room behind the shimmering curtains.
Maple Sugar led the two of them straight in, and immediately saw the Rubik's Cube placed under the lamp.
"This Rubik's Cube is just a little bit off," said Yue Yue.
"Then let's twist it."
Maple Sugar said, reaching out to pick up the Rubik's Cube and twisting it. The moment the cube returned to its original state, the surroundings changed instantly.

"Then we found ourselves at the pond in the garden," Maple Sugar looked at everyone, "Actually, we don't quite understand. Is this already the third floor?"
"It should be because we have already passed through the first two floors, so for the people behind, there are only empty rooms left." The Taoist Master said slowly.
"But you're a lot more energetic," the idiot smiled, adjusting the atmosphere, "When you were with Pineapple, you were always as sick as a plague chicken, but now you're in better shape, you're not just pretending...
…”
Maple Sugar smiled strangely but said nothing.
Tonight, they decided not to separate anymore.
The boys sat on the floor, and the girls huddled together on the bed.
"You guys go to bed first," the Taoist priest glanced at the wall clock, "Jiutian and I will watch for two hours first, and then wake up..."
"Then it's the three of us," Maple Sugar and February and March looked at each other, "We can keep watch for three hours."
"Then it's our turn." Jasmine raised Xiaolan and Bai Su's hands.
Jiutian grinned happily and said, "You don't have to, girls need to have a good rest."
"No," Jasmine pointed at Xiaolan and said, not to be outdone, "We can't let her sleep soundly. She always has nightmares and talks in her sleep. It's very scary."
Xiaolan looked dumbfounded.
Do I have it?
Several people laughed and agreed with Jasmine's insistence.
When Xiaolan woke up, it was already late at night.
No one woke her up, and the dream was broken. Xiaolan woke up naturally and looked next to her. Bai Su was still asleep. Jasmine's eyelashes began to tremble, and she looked like she was about to wake up.
I glanced at the wall clock and saw that my shift time was already half an hour late.
Maple syrup didn't wake them up.
February and March were leaning against the wall, rubbing their eyes and yawning.
Maple Sugar looked out the window steadily.
"Brother Maple Sugar," Xiaolan said softly, "You guys go to sleep, we are awake."
He said and shook Jasmine's arm.
"Well, yes..." Jasmine squinted her eyes and sat up, "We're awake."
February and March waved their hands sheepishly, "No, little girl, you can go back to sleep, we are not sleepy."
"No, brother," Jasmine scratched her hair, "You all look like you're about to faint. You're welcome. We'll only be on duty for two hours, and then we'll call them."
Jasmine said and pointed at Fool and Baomu.
February March didn't hold on any longer, closed his eyes, and soon heard the sound of even breathing.
When Xiaolan saw Maple Sugar closing her eyes, she patted her face to cheer up, then turned sideways and rubbed Jasmine who was drowsy a few times.
"I...I lied..." Jasmine mumbled with her eyes half-opened, "I'm so sleepy...oh...sleepy...sleepy...sleepy..."
Jasmine losing her mind is so cute.
Xiaolan thought so, and directly pulled Jasmine's face, so she woke up instantly and gave Xiaolan a punch.
The two of them leaned against the bedside, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes looking at Bai Su who was sleeping soundly.
It seems that there is still a long time until dawn.
Will that rotten man appear again tonight?
Jasmine beside her suddenly started to stir.
"What's wrong?" Xiaolan helped her lift the quilt.
Jasmine moved lightly and pointed to the bathroom, "Go to the toilet."
"Wait!" Xiaolan grabbed Jasmine's arm, "Can you stop going to the toilet? I have a psychological shadow."
Jasmine looked at her with a "crazy" expression, hesitated for a few seconds, and then sat back.
Time slips away little by little.
For some reason, Xiaolan became more and more anxious looking at the ticking clock.
Could it be that...you want to go to the toilet too?
I touched my belly and it didn't seem to be the case.
I always feel that there is some sound approaching.
Xiaolan looked at the window warily. On the first night, the rotten monster appeared here.
At that time, I thought it went to Xiaoyin's room, but now it seems that it should have found Lao Luo directly.
If it happens again...
Hiss—hiss—
Something is approaching.
A distant buzzing sound floated in the air.
Jasmine also heard it, and the two of them sat up with stiff expressions.
"Small……"
There is sound!
"Xiao...Xiaolan..."
That voice.
Calling his name.
"Should we wake them up?" Jasmine grabbed Xiaolan's wrist, "Someone is approaching."
Xiaolan nodded heavily and was about to wake up the others when the voice suddenly became clear.
"Taoist Priest! Xiaolan! Luo Jiutian! Come quickly!"
