We arrived at level 3.
It was dark for some reason, so we could only move forward slowly relying on the light from level 2 behind us.
8478 said: "This place seems to be getting dirtier and dirtier."
"Bang!" The door suddenly slammed shut, and the sound of the door closing echoed in the corridor.
The only light source disappeared, but we could vaguely see a faint light at the fork in the corridor ahead.
I was about to ask Skyray to use his ability to take us there, but he immediately ran to the location with the light.
I said: "It's not that bad, there are literally nine people here."
Professor said: "It's really "天理難容"." (*Note 1)
I couldn't hear what Skyray said specifically, after all, he was a bit far away, but he seemed to have found something. After we saw it, we walked quickly towards him.
After arriving, Skyray said, "Look at what this is. Is it the red almond water written in the document?"
Ailly said, "Did you read the document carefully? The document said that the color of the almond water is determined by the color of the container, but now the liquid in your bottle is red."
Leaph said, "Let me take a look. *Use ability* This is... Liquid pain."
Skyray immediately threw away the bottle of liquid pain in his hand and said, "It definitely doesn't sounds like a good thing."
Professor said, "look, It's "Painful Almond"." (*Note 2)
Leaph said, "Don't throw it away, *Pick it up* Although it is harmful to us, it can also harm entities. This way, when we encounter powerful entities, we don't have to waste almond water."
Skyray said, "I see... I think there seems to be more over there."
I said, "Then there are actually quite a lot of supplies here."
I suddenly remembered someone and said, "Helo, help us see if there is any almond water besides this thing."
Helo said, "Let me check... There are indeed a lot of almond water here, all colors are available, but they are a bit far away.
Tianli said: "This level puts all liquid pain in the front and almond water in the back. What, do it want to give us a "red start" ?" (*Note 3)
I said: "Then take us there."
Helo walked in front and led the others to find almond water. On the way,
Professor deliberately said to me: "Why does it looks like that you suddenly seem to have figured it out just now?"
I went to the professor's ear and whispered: "Heh, it's definitely not because I forgot about his existence." (*Note 4)
Helo accidentally heard it and turned around, looked at me with resentment and curiosity.
I said to Helo, "What are you looking at!"
He immediately turned around and continued walking.
After that, we finally arrived at the first place with almond water. As soon as we arrived, we were stared at by several smilers.
Skyray said, "I'll! --
Leaph said to everyone, "Should we try the effect of liquid pain?"
do it...?"
I said, "I'll sprinkle it."
I took the liquid pain and slowly walked towards those smilers. Suddenly, they ran away.
I said, "Eh? Are they all so cowardly?"
Skyray said, "Hey, I thought they were so powerful."
Professor retorted, "But this also means that they may be intelligent."
Helo said, "Hurry up and get almond water."
Entering the room, there were several cans of almond water and some cookies on the table.
Skyray said, "Only three more cans, so it's not even enough for everyone."
8478 said, "It's already great, there are still some cookies here."
While Wildy and Ailly were keeping watch outside the room, Wildy discovered something and said: "There seems to be an elevator over there."
We just came out and heard it.
Professor said, "We should be able to reach the next level if we go in."
I said, "Shall we go? Our supplies should be able to hold out for a while."
Ailly said, "You decide."
I said, "Well then!"
Skyray said, "Uh, but what if the elevator takes us to a dangerous place?"
The others left immediately.
Skyray said, "No, wait a second."
Skyray ran to catch up with us and entered the elevator together. The elevator closed and ran for a few minutes.
After opening the door, an empty office appeared in front of us.
Is this... an abandoned office?

*Note 1: "天理难容" is a pun from the professor. (*Note 5)
"天理难容" is an idiom from Chinese, I don't really know how to translate that into a similar pun in English.
Anyways, "天理" means something like "Neutral Law" or "Moral Order".
And "難容" means "Hard to tolerate".
And Skyray is actually called "天理" in Chinese!
So the pun is "Skyray can't tolerate the dark" with a actual idiom in it.
*Note 2: "Painful Almond" is another pun from the professor.
Red almond water, also known as painful almond, because it is very painful when you drink it.
Skyray thought it was red "almond" water, but in fact it was liquid "pain".
So there is this pun.
*Note 3: "Red start"
Translate form a Chinese word (or idiom?) "開門紅", means "a good start"...
Not really tho, heh.
*Note 4: "forgot about Helo"
This is true, Lander (the main author) forgot the existence of Helo. (Hehe)
*Note 5: "Pun"
means that a word or sentence has two different meanings at the same time.
A form of joke commonly used by professors.
