Tang Tang's fainting spell led to an unexpected encounter.
However, the two corpses had never left the room, so they hadn't gone to the large pool Tang Tang mentioned.
Moreover, Tang Tang said they had completed all preparations beside the large pool before drowning themselves.
But in reality, their skin and hair were scattered all around the room.
At this moment, Li Ye spoke, "Perhaps they inhaled the same soporific smoke, fell into the same illusion, and that's why she could see what happened to those two before they died."
Everyone suddenly understood, this explanation seemed more plausible.
"Does that mean if I inhale some, I'll have a chance to see more information?" Ning Wei pondered thoughtfully, her mind racing.
"Are you serious?" Zhuo Yilian asked Ning Wei, seeing her earnest expression.
Ning Wei nodded, "I'm idle anyway."
Fine, it wouldn't be her, Ning Wei, if she didn't stir up trouble.
However, the previous small mechanisms had been destroyed, so if she wanted to test this theory now, she would have to retrieve them from the deceased's room.
As for the remaining unoccupied rooms, they weren't sure if they contained soporific mechanisms, so they wouldn't waste their energy investigating them.
The important thing now was who would go to that room to retrieve the chandelier.
Ning Wei blinked, looking at the only three men in the room, mainly at Mei Nan and Song Zhi, as Li Ye, the young master, wasn't easily swayed.
Mei Nan's expression was gloomy, "Are you sure you really want to experiment?"
Ning Wei nodded emphatically, "And I plan to participate in the experiment myself, so you just need to help me take down the chandelier."
Mei Nan resignedly pulled Song Zhi towards that room.
Retrieving the chandelier at least meant they could escape the ordeal of inhaling the soporific smoke, even though they weren't sure if Ning Wei would keep her word.
Li Zi'ang had no idea what to do. They dared not sleep, and venturing out was even more daunting.
So, these sixteen people simply hid in the room, but they weren't oblivious to the outside world; they constantly monitored Ning Wei and the others.
The forgotten room was pushed open again, and Li Zi'ang curiously poked his head out, asking, "What are you doing?"
"Retrieving the chandelier!" Song Zhi replied concisely.
The experiment Ning Wei was about to undertake was almost unbelievable, so Song Zhi was subconsciously unwilling to tell others.
Li Zi'ang didn't think much of it. He assumed they were concerned about the soporific smoke issue and returned to the room to exchange glances with the other team members.
Mei Nan and the others were accustomed to retrieving chandeliers, so they quickly obtained the small mechanism containing the soporific smoke.
Song Zhi, like a thief, put the mechanism in his pocket and took it to the room, while Mei Nan casually closed the door.
Their sudden act of closing the door made others feel mysterious.
However, Li Zi'ang and the others didn't have the courage to knock and inquire, as they were passively following Ning Wei's group.
Someone deliberately provoked Li Zi'ang, but he saw through it at a glance, "If you want to ask, go ahead. Don't try to be clever with me."
No one wanted to offend others, but everyone wanted information. How could there be such a good thing?
Ning Wei was busy with her experiment and had no time to pay attention to the commotion in the next room.
Tang Tang was slowly regaining consciousness. She saw Ning Wei fiddling with the small mechanism and grabbed her wrist, "Are you sure you want to try?"
"I have to try. I need to confirm if this is just a soporific or a hallucinogen." Although only one word difference, the results were vastly different.
Perhaps this experiment could yield more useful information, and even if not, it could determine the true cause of death for those two.
After speaking, Ning Wei took the small mechanism to a corner of the room. Turning her back to everyone, she slowly opened the switch.
A wispy, ethereal smoke emerged from the gap. Ning Wei quickly closed the mechanism, took a deep breath, and the next second, she fainted.
Li Ye was quick-witted and strode forward to catch her, preventing her head from hitting the floor.
Li Ye also pocketed the small mechanism. It was better for him to keep such dangerous items.
Tang Tang and the others had already cleared the bed, "Quick, put her here."
Li Ye carried Ning Wei over. Tang Tang and the others acted as if she was asleep and even covered her with a quilt.
Tang Tang had inhaled some earlier and had been unconscious for about an hour.
Ning Wei had inhaled a considerable amount just now, so it was estimated to be no less time.
"What do we do now?" Zhuo Yilian felt restless with nothing to do.
Tang Tang had already fished two boiled eggs from Ning Wei's pocket, "How about we go to the cafeteria to cook and eat? I'm a bit hungry."
Everyone looked at Tang Tang in surprise. They had seen such eerie corpses in the afternoon, and she had inhaled soporific smoke and seen more gruesome scenes, yet she was still hungry!
Mei Nan and Song Zhi, for one, had no intention of eating. They had just been to the room where the bodies were and faintly smelled a corpse's odor.
Coupled with their vivid imaginations, even forcing themselves not to care, they had stolen several glances.
Although Tang Tang was brave, she didn't dare to go to the cafeteria alone!
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Everyone exchanged glances, instinctively choosing to hide their experiment.
Upon opening the door, they saw Bai Xue and her five teammates.
"It's nine o'clock now. Would you like to have dinner?"
"Yes, yes!" Tang Tang climbed up from the mattress and practically ran to the door.
"Then let's go together," Bai Xue invited Tang Tang, then glanced into the room.
There was nothing in the room except a sleeping Ning Wei.
Bai Xue casually remarked, "I didn't expect someone in your team to dare to sleep."
Tang Tang immediately replied, "We take turns resting. If no one sleeps, even an immortal couldn't last."
Bai Xue said nothing more and intended to take her companions to the kitchen. Tang Tang quickly followed.
Wang Jing, uneasy, whispered a few words into Zhuo Yilian's ear and quickly followed.
The prolonged mental tension had caused many to expend their energy faster.
Moreover, because of the soporific smoke, they dared not sleep. With no other entertainment here, not sleeping made them hungrier.
With someone leading the way to the cafeteria, gradually, more people headed there.
Mei Nan and Song Zhi couldn't stand it any longer either and took Yuan Yuan and Zhuo Yilian to help cook.
Soon, except for the two dead individuals, the only ones left in the row of dormitories were the unconscious Ning Wei and Li Ye.
Mei Nan and the others trusted Li Ye implicitly, handing Ning Wei over to him.
