Shi Yu spoke with a tone of earnest persuasion, "Let's use an analogy!"

"When you have countless riches, yet you still fight someone for a single steamed bun, that's called selfishness."

"But when you and many others are on the verge of starvation, and someone else has a steamed bun in their hand, if you snatch it and eat it, that's not selfishness. It's called humanity, it's called survival."

"Aren't we, who borrow lives, similar to those who snatch a steamed bun? For our own survival, you don't need to feel any guilt. Do it!"

Lin Sihan turned pale with fright. "No, Li Po! Don't kill me! I... Don't believe his lies. He's deceiving you. Look, isn't he deceiving someone right now?"

"If you kill me, it's the same as him killing me, and that's also killing a person."

"If I die, and it can truly lead you out, it's still finding a person."

"If you make a move, he'll have all four people. You'll be the one who suffers!" Lin Sihan clenched her fists as she backed towards the corner of the wall.

However, Shi Yu smiled at this moment and said, "What she said isn't wrong, but you must choose to believe someone at this time, and kill another person."

My gaze swept back and forth between Shi Yu and Lin Sihan, and suddenly I slashed my saber at the mirror. "I choose to kill you!"

With a flash of bright light, the mirror hanging on the wall was split in two by the Bai Zhou saber.

The shattered frame fell to the ground clinging to the wall, and shards of the broken mirror scattered like spilled water. At the same time, Zi Ye flew out from my left hand, slashing towards Shi Yu's neck.

As Zi Ye flew out, my palms rose into the air, striking the wall behind the mirror simultaneously.

Zi Ye grazed Shi Yu's neck, and my palms slammed against the wall, cracks as thin as fingers spreading from the edges of my palms.

After Zi Ye killed, it lodged into the wall. I exerted force with both palms again. With the surge of violent internal energy from my palms, the brick wall under my hands could no longer withstand the impact and a gap exploded open.

I shattered the wall with one palm and immediately retreated. The red bricks I had sent flying roared towards the other room. From the opposite side came the sound of a palm striking bricks.

The opponent's attack wasn't heavy, but it was extremely fast. Their hand barely touched the red brick before returning to its original position. The red brick they touched crumbled into dust and fell to the ground.

Mian Zhang (Cotton Palm) turns stone to powder!

The opponent didn't use their full strength, but their cultivation was evident.

When the stone dust settled in the room, I stood face-to-face with that person.

Our eyes met, and we couldn't help but burst into laughter at the same time.

The person in the opposite room was none other than Shi Yu, and we had both done the same thing: slashed the mirror and broken through the wall.

Lin Sihan trembled with fear, "Li Po, is he a ghost or a human? How did he run to the opposite room after you cut off his head?"

"This is the real Shi Yu!" I strode into the adjacent room. The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as the room I was in before.

The only difference was that the mirror was hanging on the other side.

As I walked, I said, "Shi Yu and I entered different rooms, but the mirrors allowed us to have a real conversation."

"Before our conversation, Shi Yu should have been communicating with the notes on the table. When he wanted to see me, the spatial images of where we were overlapped. As long as we didn't make a move, we wouldn't realize that the other was just a phantom."

Shi Yu chimed in, "Once we reached an agreement, the mirrors in the rooms severed our connection again, using our respective shadows to trick the other into making a move."

After Shi Yu and I took turns explaining what had just happened, I said, "Is our agreement still valid?"

"Of course!" Shi Yu said, "But I want to know, what do you think about the four people?"

"I don't think anything!" I looked at Shi Yu and said, "Shouldn't we be trying to get out of here?"

Before Shi Yu could speak, Lin Sihan interjected, "Li Po! We're cooperating! Can you show some sincerity? What's the deal with those four people? If you know, just say it!"

"I don't know!" I really didn't know.

I always felt that the four people were a scam, but every scam should have a purpose.

What was the meaning of the other party setting up this scheme?

Was it to make me kill Lin Sihan?

If the "four people" scheme was real, killing Lin Sihan would be beneficial to me, at least I could use her to find the person I was looking for.

If the "four people" scheme wasn't real, would killing Lin Sihan cause me any loss?

Shi Yu also looked at Lin Sihan with a burning gaze. The latter panicked immediately. "Why are you looking at me like that? I just... I just think we should cooperate sincerely. Is that wrong?"

Lin Sihan said, "And Shi Yu, don't you think you're not being sincere either? We were trapped in the duty room and couldn't get out, but you could freely enter and exit. You must have a way to move through the corridors. If you want to cooperate, why don't you share the method?"
