Ling Chen stood in front of the security room and frowned slightly.

He was a little unsure about what the empty scene in front of him actually meant...

The intuition that had helped him before resurfaced in his mind.

He had a vague feeling that the scene in front of him seemed to be crucial. If he could solve the mystery of everyone disappearing out of thin air, it would be helpful in completing the mission.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Chen glanced into the security room a few more times, but suddenly raised his leg and kicked the door with a bang.

Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly kicked in and broken.

To be precise, the upper door latch was broken by the kick, and the entire door was kicked open with great ease.

Ling Chen was startled when he saw the open door, and his whole body was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, he had never thought before that the safe house in front of him, which could provide good defense and would not be invaded from the outside, could be kicked open so easily!

Ling Chen stayed there for a long time, and it took several minutes before he finally woke up.

He shook his head, coughed slightly, and walked in slowly.

Ling Chen quickly walked around inside.

One thing that can basically be confirmed is that there is no hidden darkroom here.

The overall environment is no different from what you see outside. There is indeed no one inside.

More importantly, everything inside the security room was covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had set foot in it for a long time.

The only thing that is special is that there are some messy footprints near the door, proving that someone has walked inside.

In addition to Ling Chen's own footprints, you can also see five other pairs of footprints of different sizes, one by one corresponding to the five people who entered last night.

The problem is that the footprints only linger near the door and do not extend to other parts of the security room.

It feels like, after everyone enters here and closes the door, the people inside suddenly disappear.

If this were not the case, it would be difficult to explain why there was no one in the security room.

Moreover, there was dust everywhere, and there was no sign of use.

You know, even the ground is covered with thick dust...

As long as someone has entered here and walked around, they will probably leave many footprints.

This is completely inconsistent with Ling Chen's current findings.

In the deeper part of the security room, except for the footprints left by Ling Chen's walk just now, no other traces were found.

He took a deep breath and walked a few more laps without giving up.

But no other clues were found, and in the end he had no choice but to walk out.

Of course, he just left the security room, not the mall.

After all, whether it was out of intuition or analysis after observation, he didn't think that the others had left.

The strange phenomenon that appeared in front of us was more like a "by-product" of the "safe house" functioning.

No matter what, Ling Chen determined that this scene was probably related to the safe house.

No trace of anyone was found,

The door to the security room was kicked open.

Combining the above two points, a guess that I don't know if it is true or not emerged in Ling Chen's mind:

"Looking at it this way, the safe house's inability to be invaded is not based on the strength of the structure itself. It is more likely that... it will be moved to another space after the contractor closes the door."

Ling Chen wandered in the aisles of the shopping mall, touched his chin, muttered to himself, and expressed his guess.

In fact, when he kicked in the door just now, he had no idea in advance that he would succeed, he just had the attitude of giving it a try.

He didn't even use half of his strength, just kicked it lightly, and the door was simply broken open.

Judging from this intensity, not to mention encountering the Destroyer, even ordinary zombies can trample this door flat as long as they come in large enough numbers.

The characteristic "nothing can enter without permission" cannot be realized at all.

Due to his understanding of the Purgatory game, Ling Chen knew very well that although the organizers often concealed important information, they would even add extremely misleading things to the mission descriptions, creating psychological traps.

But what cannot be denied is that the organizer never lies, and the information published is basically correct.

Therefore, Ling Chen believes that the effect of the safe house is definitely not fake at all, and it can indeed provide good protection.

The uneventful first night also confirmed this from the side.

Well, combined with the fact that there is no one in the security room, there is not even a trace of life, and the door is extremely fragile...

After much thought, Ling Chen could only come to one conclusion.

That is, people inside the safe house will be moved to another parallel space, or into a space crack, so that they can't be invaded.

After all, if we are in two different spaces, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is impossible to invade the other space.

Just like when watching a movie, we can see all the scenes in the movie, but we can never walk in, touch or affect the characters inside.

You know, purgatory games often send contractors to different dungeon worlds.

Space teleportation is a common technique used by the organizers. It is just a trivial matter to move a few people in the safe house to other spaces.

Of course, it is also possible that everyone left early, rendering the safe house useless, so the door was kicked open easily, and there was no one inside.

However, as soon as the above idea appeared in his mind, it was quickly rejected by Ling Chen.

The reason is very simple. First of all, if everyone has left early, there is no way to explain why there are no traces of use in the security room.

To take a step back, even before Ling Chen arrived, everyone else had left.

But it cannot be denied that they rested here for one night, which should leave many traces.

It is because of this contradictory phenomenon that Ling Chen came to the following guess:

The truth behind the safe house...is that the people inside are teleported to another space, and then teleported back eight hours later.

In fact, the "safe house" where the contractor is located is a room in another dimension.

The security room is just a cover on the surface. After closing the door, the people inside will be teleported away...

From the beginning, no one has used the security room!

Only in this way can we explain why there is so much dust everywhere.

In addition, according to Ling Chen's calculations, there should be about half an hour until the safe house fails.

He couldn't imagine that anyone would be willing to leave the safe house early before the time limit was reached.

After all, this place represents absolute safety. It is the only place in this copy where you can relax and rest with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the time limit, I believe that everyone who has a certain degree of understanding of the dangers of the dungeon would not be willing to leave.

At least Ling Chen would have stayed there for a long time, and would not leave reluctantly until the last second of the time limit...

Of course, the above are just speculations, and it is not ruled out that there will be another explanation for the matter.

However, through the information and intelligence currently available, this is the most appropriate analysis that Ling Chen can think of.

Ling Chen's eyes narrowed, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there was still a bit of confusion on his expression.

Although he couldn't express it, deep down in his heart, he vaguely felt something was inconsistent.
