In the live broadcast room.
[Wow, this, this, God Xin just invited Samael into the bedroom! What are they going to do?!]
[Calm down, God Xin wouldn’t. ]
[Wouldn’t what?]
[ He wouldn’t betray the big boss.]
[Actually, what I meant was, are they planning to conspire to do something? What the hell were you thinking? Whom do you think God Xin is? The only person in his heart is the big boss, okay?]
[……]
[By the way, does anyone know what Samael looks like? I’ve never seen his face, has anyone from the Sand Sea Guild seen it?]
[I’m from the Sand Sea Guild, and I’ve never seen it.]
[Isn’t there a magician he’s close to? He must have seen it. He can’t keep his face covered when he takes off his trousers, can he?]
[The magician explained last time that they are not that close.]
[One of the top ten mysteries of the Horror Escape Game: What does Samael, the vice president of the Sand Sea Guild, really look like.]
[What other mysteries are there besides this?]
[Top 10 Unsolved Mysteries: What Kind of Existence is the Horror Escape Game?]
[The second of the top ten mysteries is: who is that mosaiced No. 1 player? Where is he now? With what identity does he exist? Is he dead or alive?]
[Ah, I’m curious about that too. Is there any news about this mysterious no. 1?]
[I do, but it’s a guess; do you want to hear it?]
[What? I’d like to hear more.]
[I’ve been speculating since a few days ago when NPCs from other copies appeared in this one. Since NPCs can cross copies, why can’t internal developers become players?]
[Are there any that can achieve such a score? I’ve seen it before, so there’s a possibility that this mosaicked No. 1 could be an internal member of the game who entered just to try it out. Or maybe the name is just a name, just put out of our reach to whet our appetite?]
[I don’t think so; isn’t there a video of No. 1 in the recorded videos? If he’s just a set of stats, how can there be a video? Although the system is a bit of a dog, it follows the rules it has set very closely, and there is no way it would put up a fake video to fool everyone.]
[That’s true, so doesn’t that make the number one spot even more mysterious?]
[There’s another possibility: He was a player before, and he passed the game. Perhaps he made so many points and joined the development team as an insider after reaching the 999th floor, which would explain why his points are unchanging and his name is mosaicked.]
[That is a more reasonable guess than the one above!]
[Now that we’re talking about the ranking, have you noticed a big gap in the ranks?]
[There is a player on the 999th, and then the next one is on the 890th. Don’t you guys think that’s strange? Even if the 999th floor is a talent, those who can climb above the 800th floor must have the ability. Why don’t any of them make it to the 900th floor? And I’m not going to lie to you guys, I always feel like I’m missing a piece of my memory. I can’t say what I’ve forgotten, it’s almost like I’ve been drinking Mengpo’s soup.]
[Maybe they just finished their main quests and left the game? Wasn’t it said that memories of the game would disappear completely after leaving? Their presence in the game would be all but cleared out as well.]
[Even if they leave the game, there must be other players who haven’t completed their main quests by that time. And why is it only when they reach the 890th floor? ]
[Finally, this topic has been brought up. I’ve noticed something was wrong for a long time. I don’t know if it’s just my gut feeling, but I always feel like there should be several gods at around the 890th level.]
[My scalp is tingling, guys. I suddenly felt a chill around me; the system is not up to something big, right?]
[Stop talking and quickly change the subject. Let all your suspicions rot in your stomach, lest you are discovered. This is advice.]
[I’ve never met you, but I believe in your advice.]
[Enough, enough, let’s go back to watching the live stream. Five minutes have passed and Samael is still not out. What the hell are they talking about?]
[The big boss will get angry.]

Not only were the viewers puzzled, but Bai Lixin was also puzzled at the moment.
“Uh,” Bai Lixin hesitated, “should I assume you have other thoughts beyond friendship?”
Samael: “You think too much; I thought that we might even have a friendship. At best, we are collaborators.”
Bai Lixin: “Then we entered the bedroom to…”
Samael was silent for a long time before he took a deep breath as if he had made some important decision and asked, “Have you heard of the Seven Deadly Sins?”
Bai Lixin: “I’ve heard of them. Pride, Envy, Wrath, Laziness, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.”
“Speaking of which, I thought of the Seven Deadly Sins when I first heard your name. It’s the same as the demon of wrath.”
Samael muttered something in a low voice, and Bai Lixin only heard a little of what he said. “…… maybe it’s not a coincidence ……”
“In fact, my crystal ball does not only show the near future; it can also show a bit further into the future.” Samael said solemnly, “In my crystal ball, I saw a little bit of your future.”
“In the future, you will enter a copy that makes the demon war, and you will die nine times in it.”
To Samael’s surprise, instead of showing fear, the young man in front of him relaxed and chuckled.
Samael was a little surprised: “What are you laughing at?”
Bai Lixin: “I am laughing at your prophecy. Since you saw that I will be entering a new copy in the future, doesn’t that mean that I will survive the disaster at the River of Forgetfulness?”
“Why shouldn’t I be happy with such good news?”
Samael froze at these words.
After a long time, he let out a laugh, “You are good at deducing, so I won’t disturb your rest. Call me when you’re ready to go to the ghost market, and I will accompany you. I have to keep you safe.”
Bai Lixin: “We’ll talk about it when I wake up from my nap.”
After sending Samael away, Bai Lixin extinguished the candles on the table.
Time flowed differently in the paper-tying shop than outside; it was still daylight outside, but it was nighttime here.
The moment he blew out the candle, darkness immediately filled the room.
He walked to the bed in the dark, and the moment his hand touched the edge of the bed, a great force suddenly gripped his wrist.
In one move, he was pinned to the bed.
A man’s sullen voice came to his ears: “Don’t you dare go with him!”
