"It seems there are quite a few people entering this dungeon this time."

Zhou Yingting glanced at the people in the vehicle and then spoke.

The entire bus was almost filled, and this number of people could be considered relatively large inside the dungeon.

Moreover, there seemed to be quite a few newcomers on this bus, some of whom appeared to have encountered misfortune before entering the dungeon.

Some others, from what they recalled, seemed to have died before even entering the dungeon.

If that's the case, did this dungeon somehow give them a new lease on life?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but look at Qiao Peimu with curiosity.

"Let me ask you something."

"Brother Zhou, go ahead."

Upon seeing Zhou Yingting wanting to ask him something, Qiao Peimu immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yingting nodded, then lowered his voice and asked, "Have there been instances in the past where people who were already dead were summoned into the dungeon and given a free pass on death?"

Zhou Yingting inquired with a perplexed expression.

In Zhou Yingting's own experience with dungeons, he hadn't encountered such a situation before.

Besides, these dungeons didn't seem to be places where one could easily gain an advantage.

If the dungeon had any consciousness, its principle should be that rewards come with effort, that it's a fair exchange.

These people, without giving anything, were spared from death right from the start.

This aspect was somewhat different from what Zhou Yingting understood about dungeons.

And that was what he found peculiar.

Qiao Peimu paused for a moment upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, then quickly began to recall carefully.

Back at the 14th Bureau, they had documented numerous dungeon incidents, and all sorts of peculiar and bizarre dungeons were recorded.

After a careful recollection, Qiao Peimu shook his head at Zhou Yingting after a while.

"Brother Zhou, from the records in our 14th Bureau's archives, there's no mention of such situations... It seems, this has never happened before."

"Among those entering the dungeon, none were deceased. There were only extraordinary individuals who obtained information and entered, or some ordinary people who got in due to various inexplicable reasons."

"Some might have entered while sleeping soundly, or perhaps ended up in the dungeon while simply taking a bus."

"Like experiencing a car accident and then suddenly encountering death and entering the dungeon, that scenario has never been recorded before, nor has anyone ever mentioned it."

After thinking for a while, Qiao Peimu answered quite decisively.

After saying that, Qiao Peimu recalled something and glanced at some people on the bus.

Earlier, he had heard what those people were saying.

According to what they said, it seemed they entered this place while on the brink of death.

This was indeed strange, as there hadn't been any known instances of someone nearing death, or already dead, being selected to enter a dungeon space before; this seemed a bit odd.

"Brother Zhou, are you suggesting that this situation is a bit off?"

Qiao Peimu seemed to grasp Zhou Yingting's meaning and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting glanced at Qiao Peimu and then said solemnly, "Don't you think it's a bit odd? This has never happened before."

"Could it be because the dungeons weren't as prevalent before, and now that they've appeared more frequently, we are encountering some situations we've never seen before?"

"It's like when dungeons first appeared, we were just getting started with them, and everything that happened inside was new to us."

Qiao Peimu thought it over and offered a reasonable explanation.

Zhou Yingting pondered Qiao Peimu's explanation for a moment.

If you think about it, what Qiao Peimu said made some sense; everything happens for the first time before it becomes routine.

Especially with dungeons, which they hadn't encountered before; it's only now that dungeons have become more frequent that there's a wealth of reference material available.

But this reference material is also something they encountered for the first time.

Encountering yet another first-time situation now also seems quite normal.

Based on Qiao Peimu's explanation, there isn't necessarily anything incorrect.

Considering this, Zhou Yingting nodded, saying, "You've got a point. But since it's our first time encountering this, let's pay attention to these people afterward to see if anything weird happens."

"If nothing happens, you can record that nothing happened, so if it happens again later, there's no need to worry about it."

Considering the current situation, Zhou Yingting remained somewhat cautious.

However, it seemed like this might not have a significant impact.

Upon these thoughts, Zhou Yingting stopped worrying as much and focused on the current mission.

But so far, the mission hadn't appeared.

It seemed like the mission would take some time to present itself.

This was quite similar to Zhou Yingting's first experience in a dungeon.

When he first entered a dungeon, there was no mission at the start, and only when the vehicle reached its stop did the mission appear.
