Opening the stairwell door, standing in the fifth-floor hallway, Bo Jingmo glanced around.

    Pretty much exactly as Lil Li said.

    Following his little girlfriend’s instructions, he first headed to Room 502.

    He opened the door, and the moment the scene inside came into view, the audience immediately erupted.

    【Wait, isn’t this layout... isn’t this Rong Fan’s place?!】

    【For real, the furniture is identical. Except... it’s a mess in here.】

    【Holy sht, feels like we just stumbled onto something big. This is wild!】

    Bo Jingmo stepped over the clutter on the ground and had just entered the living room when, turning his head, the corpse of a man who had died horribly came into view.

    He had collapsed at the study doorway, leaning against the wall. His face was deathly pale and bruised, his eyes staring toward the living room with fear. A gaping hole had been torn open in his chest, and the floor was covered in black, congealed blood.

    【Huh? That’s Rong Fan?? No f**king way. What’s going on? Rong Fan’s dead?】

    【Wait a second, we’re on the fifth floor.】

    【D*mn, this is so... creepy. The guy was just alive and kicking a few minutes ago, now he’s lying here.】

    【That’s a brutal death. Horrifying.】

    Bo Jingmo first glanced at “Rong Fan’s” body, then his eyes landed on the knife in the man’s hand.

    He continued further inside and pushed open the door next to the corpse. Inside the study, there was another female body—it was the missing Rong Ya.

    Though technically a corpse, the moment all the viewers saw the eerie smile on her face, they all shivered involuntarily.

    【D*mn near gave me a heart attack. Haha, scaring myself～】

    【That smile on Rong Ya is creepy as hell... f***, this story just got spooky.】

    【And she’s staring at the door... no, wait! She’s smiling . F***, I got goosebumps all over.】

    Bo Jingmo crouched down and examined Rong Ya’s fatal wound. His eyes fell on her abdomen—there was a stab wound there, and the dark, clotted blood stood out starkly against her clothes.

    His gaze narrowed, then he turned his head to glance again at the knife in Rong Fan’s hand. Suddenly, he spoke softly:

    “Reincarnation.”

    As soon as Bo Jingmo said it, the livestream chat echoed the same word.

    【I got it—this instance is a reincarnation instance.】

    【What?? Reincarnation instance?】

    【Yeah. If I’m not wrong, this scene should be the ending of Rong Fan and Rong Ya’s first life. Did you see the knife in Rong Fan’s hand? He probably killed Rong Ya. Then, after killing her, tried to run but ended up getting killed by something else.】

    【Huh? Something else?? Don’t tell me it was the God of Peace.】

    【So killing monsters still leads to death? Then why didn’t Zhang Jialin die?】

    【That I’m not sure of. Logically, Rong Ya was also in monster form when she died, but Rong Fan still got punished.】

    【So in this instance, you still can’t kill? Once you do, you’re breaking the peace rule.】

    【Exactly. If the God of Peace really exists, then monsters killing people also breaks the peace. So as long as no one attacks, it’s absolute peace.】

    【But the issue is, no one else knows this rule yet. Only Bo Jingmo does.】 S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    【Bo Jingmo will probably tell them, right? Even though he’s not exactly friendly with Rong Fan, there’s still Jiang Xi. I saw on the forums—they said Jiang Xi and Bo Jingmo used to be teammates.】

    【Can’t believe it, a newbie player is the one who figured out the plot twist. Rong Fan’s rank can’t be lower than Bo Jingmo’s, right?】

    【That’d be messed up. A high-level player got outplayed by a newbie.】

    【So if he goes to Room 503 now, will we see Bo Jingmo and Xu Wei’s corpses?】

    Almost as if hearing the viewers’ thoughts, after checking Room 502, Bo Jingmo turned and went to 503.

    He pushed open the door and walked in. First, he looked around the living room, then inside the rest of the unit.

    Aside from messy furniture, the room was completely empty.

    Standing in the vacant living room, Bo Jingmo’s gaze flickered slightly—and then he suddenly chuckled.

    He now understood what identity Lil Li had arranged for him.

    Last night, Yu Li had mysteriously clung to him, saying he should check the fifth floor today and reveal his identity to the viewers.

    So, this was it.

    At the same time, the chat was freaking out over this dramatic twist.

    【What’s going on?? Bo Jingmo and Xu Wei didn’t die in their last life??】

    【These two—this craziest couple—are still alive?】

    【We’re screwed. This changes everything... there’s no way to win now.】

    【What do you mean?】

    【If there are no corpses, that means Bo Jingmo from the previous life either joined the monsters—or... he one of them.】

    【So his character setting is totally different from Rong Fan and the others. His mission isn’t to kill the demon—he’s been working with them from the very beginning.】

    【Holy sh*t, that’s spicy!!】

    【Seriously? That’s so dramatic. So now the only one who knows their real identity... is the one playing a demon? All the good guys are clueless, sharing info like idiots.】

    【Yeah, and from the look of it, Xu Wei might actually be the biggest monster. You guys saw it—NPCs who turn into monsters usually lose their minds, but Xu Wei could still get along with Bo Jingmo.】

    【Now that you mention it, I just remembered something. Didn’t you guys notice? Normal NPCs forget everything that happened the night before, but Xu Wei remembered it all. She even stopped Xiao Zhi. That proves she knew everything from the start.】

    【Brilliant analysis above. That explains everything. Sister Li is the real BOSS—so badass!!】

    【Bo Jingmo, you really snagged yourself a powerful ally. You have how sweet that is.】

    【Am I the only one worried about the players? This game’s basically over. What are they even supposed to do now?】

    【My god, and Rong Fan is still heading over all trusting. He’s got no idea that Xu Wei already knows they’re investigating this. This is totally a trap.】

    Meanwhile, when Rong Fan returned to the fourth floor, he was surprised to find Mu Chengsi there too.

    He paused. “She called you over too?”

    “Yeah.”

    Thinking of Yu Li’s earlier question, Mu Chengsi looked at Rong Fan with a strange expression, but quickly regained her composure and laughed awkwardly. “She invited me—how could I say no?”

    Mu Chengsi had completely given up on this script. Now she was just lying low, not wanting to deal with anything.

    The fire she once had vanished the moment she realized the BOSS was Yu Li.

    She sat at the dining table, secretly cursing herself for becoming a slacker. But the wounds on her forehead and abdomen reminded her—

    Might as well rest. Don’t waste the energy.

    As long as she didn’t die, it was fine.

    Her two daughters at her feet spoke innocently, “Mommy, be careful going downstairs next time. How did you fall?”

    According to Rong Fan, Mu Chengsi had gotten hurt from a fall on the stairs.

    “……”

    “Mommy got it.”

    Mu Chengsi could only smile and pat their heads. The two kids’ craziness last night had nearly sent her to the afterlife.

    Rong Ya, seeing Rong Fan return, quickly rolled her wheelchair over. “Ge, why so late? Weren’t you going to check on Mu Chengsi? Did you go somewhere else?”

    Rong Fan paused mid-step. “Mm. I also stopped by Chen Zhixia’s parents’ place.”

    His eyes shifted to the woman on the sofa—and at that exact moment, the woman casually looked back at him.

    As their eyes met, she was the first to smile with crescent-shaped eyes and stepped up to his side.

    “Let’s eat, Dr. Rong.”
