After stepping out of the glowing square, Bai Youwei found that she hadn't returned to the lounge as expected, but had been taken directly to the headquarters' dining room.
Zhu Shu was nowhere in sight.
Before delving into the game, Bai Youwei had breakfast with everyone in the dining room. Now it was deep into the night, and naturally, the dining room was deserted.
Zhu Shu was probably back in the lounge with Yan Qingwen and the others.
Bai Youwei rubbed her leg and left the restaurant, taking the elevator back to her room.
The timing within the game and outside world varied slightly. Sometimes it was longer, sometimes shorter, and sometimes it syncs perfectly. Bai Youwei remembered that it was around nine o'clock when she left the game, but as she walked the desolate corridors of the building, it felt much later than nine, probably around eleven or twelve at night.
The sound of her footsteps echoed loudly in the eerily quiet hallway.
