The doors and water pipes disappeared automatically, and the three of them were lying in a courtyard. In front of them stood an upside-down house with a sign at the entrance that read "Upside Down House."

"Haha... Haha... Haha... It was a close call, huh~~~ Hahaha!" Toosb burst into laughter as if he had narrowly escaped death.

Amisa slowly stood up and walked towards Jasky. Seeing this, Jasky quickly stood up and said, "Are you okay?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyAEoNULsF
Smack!
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sFv6hj56C
Jasky snapped back to reality, feeling a burning sensation on his cheek. He couldn't believe it as he touched his reddened and swollen face. He turned his head and saw Amisa wearing the same terrified expression that had appeared behind the pink cheese tea cup house, even more severe than before.

Amisa asked coldly, "Why did you not help when you saw me tied up?"
"What are you talking about?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzgP0mfKtT
"You saw me bound, and your first instinct was to have Mido steal the key. Did you plan on leaving me behind without those water pipes?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLm4LZW4r5
Toosb ran over with an apologetic expression, saying, "I'm sorry, Amisa. The situation was pressing..."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKyISVr3ld
"If we didn't find the Door of Kindred Spirits, we would all have been trapped under the debris," Jasky interjected with a cold tone.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWu9PFtADH
"So, it doesn't matter what happens to me, right?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9WZTaMApN
"I didn't say that. I intended to use dessert magic to save you."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQDExrR2m
"When I saw you guys, the floor was perfectly fine. You could have saved me first, but you had Mido steal the key. Were you planning on saving yourselves and leaving me behind?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNH4gligAR
This sarcasm made Jasky angry too. "If I were only saving myself, would I have asked Toosb to find the door?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM1CIa0Gin
"Amisa! Calm down a bit!" Toosb hurriedly stepped in between them. " Jasky made the decision in less than 30 seconds. Without the key, we couldn't have escaped!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj7fk9FAUT
"You're the same! You told me those headphone microphones wouldn't attack, and that they would return to normal once we got the key. What happened?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIWafyRSG7
"But... but I got the key just now, and the phone stopped acting up..."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvarBK4pWUQ
"Shut up! Are you saying I'm lying? Once I got the key, they didn't stop bothering me. Do you want to hear all those sarcastic comments? Do you know how much it drove me to the brink of madness?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLvXEbsP5v
"Alright, I apologize," Toosb said helplessly, scratching his head.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboJ708xjXA
"What are you apologizing for?" Jasky retorted without backing down. "He's not wrong. I also got the key, and the recording devices returned to normal. We didn't think of any other reasons and just jumped to conclusions. You're the one who chose that path."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNbajlREn4
"So, are you blaming me for choosing the wrong path? Fine! If I had known you only cared about yourselves, I should have handled it myself. I could have just taken the Black Mirror from the church and gone home!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YtAWsUtNH
"So now you're speaking the truth?" Jasky pointed at the blue dress pocket emitting a black faint light. "At the opera house, that bizarre singing of yours made me suspect that you might be hiding something. Is it the forbidden dream instrument the voice instructor mentioned? And you want to escape from the Pink Tea Cup House!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0CwwjoEQQ
"What opera? I have no idea what's happening!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp70FHvn8vA
"Of course, you wouldn't know! Because you were being controlled by that thing! We've been warning about how the mirror might destroy the world, but all you cared about was restoring your voice. Did you not care about the lives of others?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xWHtYY1YW
"What about my life? You could have saved me. Clearly, you dream entities are all untrustworthy!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvLD8FEQLh
"'Dream entities'?" Jasky was confused by this new term, and so was Toosb.
"Exactly! The Pudding Cup Corridor bird person said that to you?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0FmRUg1pg
"... Seeing Amisa silent, Jasky shook his head and spread his hands. "Admitting it? You actually believed someone whose background you didn't even know."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ivae74FA
"At least he told me where this is. Unlike certain groups of mentors who only beat around the bush and dragged me into some racial war."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCZuFN2u3q
"What do you know? They have their reasons!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWXXelUwmM
"And I don't? I was forcefully dragged here while trying to make a movie. For whose sake? It's all for themselves. You're all the same, selfish individuals!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzTsIAYim0
"So, are you not selfish?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTPcOC3tby
"It's not the same as you being selfish!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQIlyLfnf
The two of them argued fiercely, neither willing to back down. Unnoticed by them, the black faint light in the dress pocket was growing stronger.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsBYVmyFjH
After a few minutes of standoff, Toosb attempted to ease the tension. "Um, should we go check out that house first? Without seeing the Intellect Insect, none of us can leave..."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRR9xQRps
"I don't need you to tell me! I'll find a way to leave on my own. Don't come and hinder me!" Amisa walked towards the Upside Down House. Mido tried to follow, but was shouted at, "Don't follow me! Traitor!"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCHsuRPhM1
Bump!
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV3ngWYm6X
"Chirp..." Witnessing Amisa slamming the door shut, Mido lowered its head sadly. Toosb gently picked it up and noticed a hint of ferocity Jasky's expression.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudMaHgLa4A
"Are you okay?"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6z5aueUVa
"Let me calm down." Jasky sat down on the grass, closed his eyes, and contemplated, trying to organize his emotions. He could feel the heavy impact of the recent argument.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgp028TNYn
"............"
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdWkwxneDu
After five minutes of silence, Toosb slowly spoke up. "Um, I think, Amisa was just under a lot of pressure from losing her voice. You know how toxic those electronic devices' insults were."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ106oH88NA1
"Don't we have pressure too?" Jasky sighed with resignation and forced himself to stand up. "Forget it, let's move forward."
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vHUrdGi8
"Alright..."
