In the Secret Realm, β3-2103002.
Outside the gate of Xunlong Manor, the people within the walls had ceased their clamor and huddled together to discuss their next strategy.
The mother and daughter had reconciled and were holding hands, rejoining the queue of smugglers.
Despite the disdainful looks from those around them, it was nothing more than a few complaints, and nobody refused their joining.
Meanwhile, outside the walls, a four-person team had split into two groups, embarking on an exploration of the shops in front of the door.
Li Qingming and Ji Xiaoxiang, forming one group, entered the shop closest to the gate, a tea shop brightly decorated and featuring a chubby snowman sign.
Now the inside was deserted, seemingly void of anything related to the rules.
But that didn't stop the brainwashing tune from looping—
"You eat me~~ I eat you~~ The chubby snowman so chilly~~"
"You eat me~~ I eat you~~ The chubby snowman so chilly~~"
"You eat me—— I eat you——"
