Having spoken, the other person looked helplessly at the Flying Swords continuously shuttling back and forth over his body and shook his head, "What I said is all true. I didn’t deceive you."

While the two were conversing, the Flying Sword seemed to lose control and suddenly stabbed towards the man’s cupboard behind him. Seeing the Flying Sword leave, the cupboard remained unscathed.

Taking advantage of the other’s inattention, Dong Tianyu once again tried to attack the surrounding furniture using the Flying Sword’s momentum.

However, after a round of attacks, the furniture in the room was indeed, as the other had said, impervious to any damage from the Flying Swords.

Silently calculating the time, Dong Tianyu had used the Flying Swords for over ten minutes. It seemed that the ability the other used was not similar to Divine Might.

"You’ve been probing for so long, are you coming in or not?"

Seeing the other person’s eagerness to invite him into the room, Dong Tianyu instinctively felt something was wrong and immediately said, "According to what you’ve said, you can only stay in this room now.

I’ve already confirmed your whereabouts. I’ll let you off for now and go look for the others; I’ll come back to capture you later."

Dong Tianyu thought the other would get angry upon hearing his words, but what Dong Tianyu didn’t expect was that the other acted completely unconcerned, with no attempt to provoke or persuade Dong Tianyu against his actions.

If the other had tried to persuade or provoke him upon hearing his words, Dong Tianyu could have been sure that such an ability likely had a time constraint.

But seeing the other let him leave, Dong Tianyu was, for a moment, unsure about the other’s thoughts.

Regardless of what the other was thinking, Dong Tianyu was certain he would not stay there any longer.

When Dong Tianyu left, he casually closed the door and used his Divine Sense to observe. The room appeared empty in his Divine Sense’s view, not to mention the hider, even the furniture within was no longer present.

It seemed the other was right, they must have used some means to momentarily separate the room they were in from the space Dong Tianyu was in. It was not certain whether it had left the Mysterious Realm, but it was clear that, with the room’s door as the boundary, the two sides were not in the same space.

Having realized this, Dong Tianyu left the entrance and moved into the next room.

Looking at the decorations filling the room, but without a single creature in sight, Dong Tianyu finally felt normal again.

After all, even though Dong Tianyu was in a 1V10 situation, as the catcher, the others should be cautiously hiding. Those who actively attacked or provoked Dong Tianyu were the odd ones out.

Aside from the hider in that room, there should be only two hiders left on the ship. If Dong Tianyu captured those two, he would essentially secure a victory.

Just when Dong Tianyu thought there might be a hider hiding in this room, he meticulously stored the room’s decorations into the Storage Space with his guard up.

Dong Tianyu never expected that even after he had put everything in the room into the Storage Space, he still did not find the remaining two hiders.

Although more than half of the catch time had passed, Dong Tianyu had already checked all areas within the Mysterious Realm; by rights, even if he hadn’t caught someone directly, he should have found some traces or clues.

There were only three rooms on the top floor; each room should, in theory, contain at least one hider.

The theory was confirmed by the first two rooms, but now the situation in the current room seemed to slap that theory in the face.

Dong Tianyu used his Divine Sense to meticulously observe every corner of the room, now all the original contents of the room had been stored into the Storage Space by Dong Tianyu.

The empty room was so clear that even to the naked eye, nothing was missed.

Not quite believing it, Dong Tianyu used his Divine Sense to repeatedly scan the entire room, sparing no crevice.

Regrettably, no matter how much Dong Tianyu searched, he did not find the two remaining hiders.

By this point, Dong Tianyu, who had realized that his demeanor was somewhat anxious, took a deep breath first, allowing himself to slowly become calm, and then began to comb through everything from the moment he had entered the Mysterious Realm, to see if he had overlooked anything in the entire process.

Because he first encountered a thumb-sized hider, Dong Tianyu, relying on his massive Storage space, unceremoniously took away everything in the cabin, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

Even in that sealed passage, he directly pried open the floorboards that were laid on the ground, and the debris from the two destroyed doors were also collected into the Storage space.

Reflecting on this process, now that these two hiders had not appeared here, the most likely scenario was that they had moved from the top level to the middle level while he was searching the bottom level.

It was only at this time that the cat-and-mouse game truly seemed to begin.

As soon as he stepped out of the room’s main door, he saw the door he had personally closed. Dong Tianyu once again opened the door to this room, and the other party was still completely enveloped in a black robe, sitting quietly at the table directly facing the door.

Seeing the door open, Dong Tianyu, who remained standing outside, was greeted by the other party with a still calm tone, "You’ve come, are you coming in this time?"

Hearing the other party’s question, Dong Tianyu hesitated for a long while outside the door, thinking that there was still plenty of time, so he decided to tackle this tough nut first.

Having made up his mind, Dong Tianyu didn’t hesitate and directly walked through the door. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Contrary to what Dong Tianyu had envisioned—space transformation or other flashy scenarios did not occur—the entire process of entering the room was not much different from entering any ordinary room.

The instant he entered the room, Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense immediately covered the entire room, and this time his Divine Sense not only detected the furniture inside but also instantly locked onto the other person.

"I am in now, use whatever tricks you have quickly," he said.

In the face of Dong Tianyu’s provocation, the other party extended their hands from within the black robe and said in a light tone, "The room is currently filled with colorless poisonous gas. I have two bottles in my hands, one is the antidote, and the other is poison.

We each take one, and I will bet my life against yours to see who can survive to the end."

Hearing this, Dong Tianyu was immediately amused and angered by the other party’s proposition, "What are you thinking? Why should I bet with you?"

"Do you know why I isolated this room from the outside world? It’s because I didn’t want to diminish the concentration of poisonous gas in the room, so I isolated it from the outside.

The moment you walked through the door, you had already inhaled the poisonous gas, so you have already been severely poisoned. If you don’t take the antidote, even if you kill me, you will still face death in the end.

So now you must bet with me, and you can only bet with me.

Don’t think about killing me, because even if you do kill me, your situation will not change in the slightest."

After hearing this, Dong Tianyu appeared contemplative, but his Flying Swords at his back were not idle. Before the other person could react, the Flying Swords directly pierced through the black robe.

As the Flying Swords withdrew, they hooked and lifted the black robe, which instantly separated from the body of the person in front of him.

Without the concealment of the black robe, Dong Tianyu now saw sitting across the table a figure as thin as a reed stalk, resembling a stick figure.

Looking at the figure, whose body was consistently thin except for the head, Dong Tianyu could say he had seen a living stick figure.

With the loss of the black robe’s cover, the person’s facial expression became extremely fierce, and the two hands holding the bottles uncapped them with their thumbs, pretending to pour both bottles into their mouth.

Dong Tianyu saw this action and, abnormally, did not stop it.

Just as Dong Tianyu had guessed, the other party only brought the bottles to their mouth but did not actually pour anything in.
