Daylight came quickly, and after resting for an hour, everyone began the second round of attracting monsters.
This time, they first placed the sound-making prop on the eighth floor; Peng Fengnian and Lin Zhenhuai took positions at opposite ends, one observing the situation in the rooms around the corridor and the other waiting at the stairwell.
The others scattered, hiding in different rooms, with two more on the tenth and sixth floors.
After Miss Gao activated the prop, the rhythmic "thud thud" of knocking echoed through the corridors. Within seconds, a beast's roar rose from the floors below!
"How could this be!"
The expressions of everyone present changed slightly. The monster had vanished on the eighth floor, and if there was a passage on or near the eighth floor, it should have appeared nearby. How could it possibly be below, sounding as if it were between the third and fourth floors?
