Josh looked at him, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes: "It’s the cats that should die, weak creatures like cats deserve to be bullied and abused by humans. Such fragile beings deserve death, and should be put on a big screen for people to torment!"

"You!!" The Catman’s eyes widened in shock, staring at her with fear and anger: "You are... you are..."

Josh lashed out with a whip, cutting off his words.

Her guess was indeed correct; this monster really did come from that dungeon.

But whether it’s from her version of the dungeon is still to be verified.

Josh stared at the big cat, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

The big cat was still cursing in fear, but Josh had already pulled her punches.

She knew the spots on the big cat’s body with the strongest defenses, so when the whip struck those places, it wouldn’t be too painful for them.

This dungeon was truly bizarre.

She recalled what Shanwu had said earlier.

She was sure, when Shanwu said that, his expression was serious and odd, certainly not joking.

She needed to find a way to swap positions.

The person punishing Shanwu next to her looked like an NPC, with a dull expression and mechanized actions, appearing to lack any sense of order.

Josh discreetly glanced at the number on the back of his shirt.

Good, it’s from the neighboring jail cell.

She could find a chance to try later.

After dinner, there was another round of work, and these punished people looked quite exhausted.

The ones doing the beating were already exhausted, not to mention those who were punished.

As Josh passed by Shanwu, he suddenly mouthed something to her.

He warned her to be wary of the monsters at night.

Josh’s eyes flickered slightly, not blindly trusting his words.

Shanwu didn’t seem like a good character.

When Josh came in, she paid a little attention and placed the strands of spider silk in other locations.

She thought she might get a lot of useful information from these punished people.

While working, Josh pondered if according to this dungeon’s rule of constantly replenishing people, then maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to form an alliance with Mina.

That evening, Josh immediately sought out Mina.

When Mina saw him, she couldn’t help but be startled, instinctively jumping three meters away: "What do you want?"

In the dormitory, private fights were allowed, and no one cared if someone died.

Josh’s mouth twitched slightly: "Just exchanging information."

Mina looked at her suspiciously: "Does that mean you want to form an alliance with me? Didn’t you reject me before? And... why do you suddenly want to form an alliance now? Aren’t you afraid the people in the dormitory will target us for prioritizing each other?"

Josh: "Information exchange."

Mina: "What’s the difference? If we exchange information, it should count as forming an alliance, right?"

Josh’s mouth twitched slightly: "Exchanging or not, it’s just a word."

Mina: "...Deal!"

After replying, she curiously asked, "Aren’t you really afraid that people in the dormitory will see us getting too close and will target us first?"

Josh: "In our dormitory, apart from us two, there are only two other players, I tested their level, we can beat them, it’s not a big issue."

Mina nodded knowingly: "What intel do you want to exchange?"

Josh: "I just told you one piece of my intel, there are two other players in the dorm, they’re average. Now it’s your turn."

Mina scratched her head: "But I don’t have any intel to exchange."

Josh squinted: "The punished people you’re responsible for during the day haven’t revealed anything?"

Mina looked at her strangely: "What do you mean? What would they say?"

Josh grabbed her wrist: "Are you trying to mess with me?"

Mina was startled: "I didn’t! They really didn’t reveal anything. When I hit them, they were like soulless, just screamed, couldn’t say a word, let alone give any information."

Josh released her hand, finally believing her.

She had just secretly activated her Super Sensing Skill, and besides curiosity, Mina had nothing else in her heart.

She shouldn’t be lying.

Is it just a coincidence?

The ones Mina whipped said nothing?

Yet the two Josh encountered both not only spoke, but talked a lot.

It was as if they were deliberately feeding her information.

Josh couldn’t help but find it strange.

There were no clues on Mina, so of course, Josh didn’t bother with her anymore, deciding to try to pry information from the other two people in the room at night.

Until midnight, the monster appeared again.

Everyone huddled in the corner, holding their breath, waiting.

The monster drew closer, and suddenly, a tentacle reached in and wrapped around Josh’s waist.

Mina was so scared she almost screamed.

Josh’s expression grew tense, she sprayed spider silk to attach to the wall, pulling herself back.

The monster stared at her, mouth agape, moving closer.

Josh knew it wasn’t good, her right hand formed a Dharma Seal, chanting to summon the Longsword.

The monster’s head got close to her, Josh lifted the Longsword high, about to stab down, but suddenly paused.

The monster actually rubbed its head against her stomach and... licked her?

Her sword was almost a centimeter away from piercing the monster’s head.

Yet the monster seemed to suddenly recognize her, wrapping her in its embrace in a protective gesture, binding her tightly.

Josh began to struggle, suddenly faced with the monster, it felt like a wave was crashing against her mind, the monster’s spiritual power contamination nearly shattering her Spiritual Sea.

The little pink and white spider in her mind kept cowering in the corner, the mental pollution rising incessantly.

Originally, her spiritual pollution was only at 30 points, but in such close contact, it almost rose by a point per second.

Josh struggled violently: "Let go of me!"

As the pollution value continued to rise, apart from her head roaring, her entire chest felt like it was churning along with it, making her feel like she was going to vomit at any moment.

The monster seemed to sense her pain and abruptly let her go.

Josh immediately seized the opportunity, pulling herself with the spider silk to quickly dodge back into the room, putting as much distance as possible between herself and the monster.

Her spiritual pollution also increased from 30 points to 50 points.

Josh panted heavily, trying hard to calm the discomfort brought by the pollution.

The monster gave her a deep look, then turned to leave.

Josh frowned slightly, what was this monster trying to do?

Just now, she didn’t sense any malice from the monster, on the contrary, it seemed to mistake her for one of its own?

Soon, screams were heard again outside.

Someone must have been taken away.

Josh breathed a sigh of relief.

In this room, her identity was pretty much exposed.

After the monster left, the room’s door was shut again.

The room became so quiet that even each other’s breathing could be heard.

Everyone maintained the posture from when the monster came without moving, but everyone’s eyes were on her.

The enmity within, even if hidden in the darkness, Josh could still feel.
