Forty-One. The Steps in the Cabin

The hellish blood-red scene in the cabin faded like a painting, and Lu Li was pulled into the Death Retrace of his host.

The darkness that could not be dispelled surged around him, plunging Lu Li into gloom, with only thick, muffled gurgling sounds and distant chaotic footsteps in his ears.

Time moved forward, and after a dozen seconds, a dim yellow glow emerged from the darkness ahead.

In the approaching glow of the oil lamp, Lu Li saw himself and Anna floating beside him.

Unexpectedly, it was Lu Li who ended the life of the tentacle host.

In other words, the host had been "alive" until then.

This dashed Lu Li's hope of gaining clues from the host's initial death.

The last scene of the Death Retrace was the "Lu Li" across from him pulling the trigger, then Lu Li returned to reality.

"Nothing." Lu Li said to Anna, who was waiting for the result, telling her about the situation in the retrace.
