The two returned to the mayor's office and stayed there overnight until the bus returned to town the next morning.
"What happened last night?" Shen Yi asked, noticing signs of a street fight.
Lin Pei briefly mentioned the incident of the doll attracting the aliens and added, "The risk is too great."
"If that's the case, then I'd rather be hungry than face those creatures," Shen Xin said, shaking his head.
"Being hungry is no solution. Sooner or later we'll have to deal with the aliens. The sooner we do it, the better," Xu Huo said.
"Do we really have to try every puzzle?" Shen Yi asked, looking around.
"I think he makes sense," Gu Yu said. "The longer we wait, the weaker we get, and the higher the risk becomes."
"Do you guys have any good ideas?" Wu Qiuyi asked.
"One person answers the question while the others lie in ambush nearby. If an alien appears, we kill it," Gu Yu was the first to suggest.
