In front of us now is a head and a puddle of green water.

Quite eerie.

"Tell me, how do we get out? I can spare your life."

I admired the new body of You Lin as he rolled his eyes.

"It's simple. First, you have to guess who I am."

"You two are evenly matched, so it doesn't make sense for you to be completely different. Combining the story you told, it's not difficult to guess."

The one sentenced was the husband who poisoned the murderer.

"Yes." He suddenly looked at the green water, and the pool suddenly took shape, transforming back into the shape of a woman, except she had no face.

"I worked hard to revive her. But that child, our child, is draining her energy, she is fading. How can I witness her die again? But I can't kill that child, I'm his father. Only you outsiders can."

We agreed to his tearful request, preparing to go back to the hotel. The hotel was under the jurisdiction of women, and indeed, upon return, there were fewer red-clothed people.

"You also think he's lying again, right?"

You Lin chuckled.

"Didn't you deceive me with someone else's body?"

"Is that the same? I am a scholar. I only feared he would take your body away, that's why I was afraid."

"So you're saying, what is really in the staircase? We've been down so many times, touched every rule, but we haven't seen any substantial evidence."

"It's probably the real core."

"Who could have thought, the core would be placed in the primary rules of the top-level world?"

If I wasn't a rule maker, I would probably die as soon as I arrived.

"But young man, when I became the lord, you were still playing house."

We entered the stairwell of the hotel, and the red-clothed people all stopped in their tracks. I broke the spatial barrier with a punch, merging all the worlds together, like a kaleidoscope glass turning the world into the face of a woman.

Her face was round, her eyebrows like distant mountains, full of the classical oil-painting beauty of a woman. But when she opened her eyes, her green eyes widened, her voice like a bell, almost scattering me.

"Thank you for finding me."

"So, do you have the complete version of the story?" Being an audience is the first secret of life.

She smiled resignedly, clenching her fist.

The news was true, but her husband was in prison for hiring a hitman.

The pregnant woman's body was forever sealed in the cement of the stairwell, and the beggar was just a scapegoat.

She said her name was Yuan Yuan, the precious pearl of the developer of Yuhu Community. She thought she had found a hidden gem, but after becoming pregnant, she realized her husband would abuse her, would throw her around at home.

She thought that by using her family as leverage, she could control him. She thought he sincerely apologized.

But he only thought that if Yuan Yuan died, he would forever be a rich man's son-in-law, the perfect husband who loved his wife.

"My child has become a rule, so he is a bit mischievous, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay, I've disciplined him on your behalf many times."

"I never expected the two of us to become anomalies. I can't leave, so he moved my body to the shallow world—the stairwell of the residential building, where there was a haunted wall, normal people couldn't see me at all. The child has a blood relationship with him, he doesn't know he killed his father, just innocently gets close. The irony is, he is bound by the morals of an unborn child."

As Yuan Yuan spoke, she started crying. For herself, for the child.

It's really malicious, causing the death of two people who loved him. But he didn't deserve that love.

"So, are you going by yourself?"

"Of course. At this point, I don't need your help anymore."

Yuan Yuan smirked ominously, making my words foggy, my emotions really unstable, sister.

"Before you go handle your business, can you tell us how to get back?"

"Don't worry. Just return to your house, I'll close the passage."

Huh? So there really is this house!

She seemed to see through me, looking at You Lin.

"Consider it a wedding gift for you two. The house in the real world is haunted, but it won't be anymore." "Thank you."

What wedding gift? I kicked the smiling You Lin. Tsk.

We came out of the stairwell and turned to the elevator.

"How come these two pits are still here? This property management is really bad."

"Be grateful, it's good they didn't call the police to kick you out."

We listened as the outside world erupted like an explosion, then the whole building trembled incessantly, cement and wall plaster splashing everywhere. We protected our heads and rushed back to the room, though it wasn't necessary, we still breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the window, a human-shaped baby stood up, tightly gripping an ant in its hands. The wish of the rules was fulfilled, revenge.

"He really looks like his mother."

"Yeah, if my dad was a scumbag, I would do the same to him."
