"Rescue?" Fatty stared at Jiang Cheng as if seeing him for the first time. After speaking, Jiang Cheng jogged toward the mirror.

Fatty thought for a moment, realizing that staying behind wouldn't help; it would only slow the doctor down. So he steeled himself and dashed out just as the door opened.

In a swirl of light and shadow, fatty felt his feet hit solid ground.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the familiar studio.

Outside the window, the night was eerily silent.

"Doctor," fatty seemed to regret not stopping Jiang Cheng. He stood there, gritting his teeth, saying, "You're not making any sense!"

Jiang Cheng crossed back through the mirror, dragging the bloodied Yu Wen out. The process went very smoothly.

The puppet-like Zhen Jianren followed closely behind but did not attack.

He supported Yu Wen, letting her lean against him.

"Miss Yu! Are you alright?"

Currently, Yu Wen had only half a breath left; her remaining arm had been pierced by a cane, and the gaping wound revealed pale bone fragments.

Both her legs and one arm were rendered useless.

Now she was a true cripple, and to leave this place, she could only rely on Jiang Cheng.

"Thank you, Mr. Hao," Yu Wen gasped, the pain from her wound nearly causing her to faint. She hadn't expected this man would actually come back to save her.

Her earlier cries for help had just been survival instinct.

"Fortunately... luckily, Mr. Hao, you didn't come with me," Yu Wen said, gasping in pain, "or else you'd have been dragged down too."

Jiang Cheng saw genuine sincerity in her eyes.

"Vroom"

The real door emitted a humming sound, hinting at imminent collapse.

The door... was about to close.

"Mr. Hao," Yu Wen took a deep breath, urging, "let's hurry, the door is going to close."

"Don't rush," Jiang Cheng gently wiped the blood off one side of Yu Wen's face, being quite considerate. "I still have some questions I'd like to ask Miss Yu. I wonder if it's convenient?"

Yu Wen paused.

Jiang Cheng tilted his head to look at her, asking himself, "Your arm must have been broken by Chen Yao, but I'm curious, how did you escape from her?"

"I—"

"I suggest we hurry," Jiang Cheng's voice sounded elegant and considerate, like a gentleman draping a gown over a lady at a dinner party.

He glanced at the door and reminded her, "It probably won't hold for long."

"I got something that can resist ghost attacks!" Yu Wen quickly said, not even pausing.

"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up, immediately reaching out to feel her up and down, "Where is it?"

Yu Wen had no strength to resist; she could only shake her head and say, "That thing is a one-time use. I've already used it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng retracted his hand and adjusted his collar, looking very much like a gentleman as he said, "Miss Yu, I swear on my parents, I'm not coveting that thing. Even if you show it to me, I would return it to you." After a pause, he continued, "I'm simply curious."

"Mr. Hao, I'm in this state," she trembled slightly, weakly saying, "Do I still need to lie to you?"

"If that thing was still useful, how could I have ended up like this?"

Jiang Cheng didn't linger on the issue, shifting his question, "What exactly was that thing?"

"A piece... a piece of paper."

"A newspaper?"

"No," Yu Wen swallowed the blood bubbling up her throat and weakly said, "Just a piece of paper, a blank piece of paper."

"Where did you get it?"

"From the last mission."

"I've cleared missions too," Jiang Cheng asked, "So why didn't I get it?"

Yu Wen's complexion darkened.

"Is it that unless all teammates die, only one person survives to obtain this life-saving equipment?"

"You know?!" Yu Wen was choked by blood and began to cough violently.

Understanding...

Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered with thoughts. He had suspected this before; everyone should work together to maximize the chances of success.

But the people in the mission clearly hadn't done that.

In the last mission, Chen Xiaomeng, and in this mission, Zhang Yinyin, Zhen Jianren, and the Yu Wen in front of him...

He stroked his chin, his tone playful, "So... Zhen Jianren was killed by you?"

Yu Wen felt a chill from Jiang Cheng's gaze, her throat involuntarily swallowing, "He... he was going to kill me first; I was just defending myself!"

Would a severely injured blind person who could only crawl out voluntarily kill someone?

Such a lie was too insincere.

"So... killing in a nightmare will be punished by the nightmare," Jiang Cheng muttered, nodding, but his tone was quite firm, "Right?"

Yu Wen's face turned pale.

When Zhou Taifu died, she had vaguely seen a hand reaching out from the mirror, stabbing a knife into Zhou Taifu's back before she was then taken into the mirror world by Chen Yao.

The method of killing was identical to how Zhang Yinyin was killed.

The one who truly killed Zhou Taifu was Zhang Yinyin.

The dead Zhang Yinyin.

She seemed to sense Jiang Cheng's suspicion toward her, and Yu Wen quickly changed the topic, "Mr. Hao," she immediately said, "as long as you can take me away, I will give you money, a lot... a lot of money!"

"I'm not interested in money," Jiang Cheng slowly shook his head, his gaze becoming increasingly lecherous as it roamed over Yu Wen, licking his lips like fatty.

Yu Wen suddenly became clear-headed. When she spoke again, her tone softened significantly, infused with an inscrutable meaning, "Of course, if Mr. Hao is willing to save me, I can also..."

"Hehehe," Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction, "Sounds good, sounds good."

Yu Wen pressed herself closely against Jiang Cheng while casting her warm, watery gaze at him. This typically valiant woman now appeared to have a different charm.

"Mr. Hao," she murmured with affectionate eyes, "what kind of person are you? Where can I find you?"

"What?" Jiang Cheng feigned surprise, widening his eyes, "Miss Yu, are you planning to bring someone to kill me?"

Caught off guard, Yu Wen froze and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I didn't mean that. If Mr. Hao doesn't trust me, then let's not meet. Just give me an account, and I will transfer the money..."

Jiang Cheng's expression became increasingly inscrutable to her, making her voice grow smaller and weaker.

"Mr. Hao," Yu Wen was almost begging, "I know this is a fake name. I don't even know your real name. Even if I get out, I wouldn't be able to find you, and I wouldn't pose a threat to you!"

But unexpectedly—

"Jiang Cheng," Jiang Cheng tilted his head and suddenly said, "My name is Jiang Cheng, the Jiang of the river flowing east, and the Cheng of Genghis Khan."

Yu Wen was stunned.

Then a chill wrapped around her instantly.

In the next second, Jiang Cheng grinned, saying, "Now you know, Miss Yu?"
