Time passed, and after approximately fifteen minutes, Corey began to get suspicious of what was going on.
Enough time had passed for something to happen, but nothing had happened despite almost thirty minutes having gone by in the Third Night.
He clearly remembered that the First and Second Night did not take up to five minutes before they were forced to face the danger of each Night.
Although he had no idea what the Third Night was going to bring, the fact that he had not encountered anything after tricking the Rule of Taking was extremely unnerving.
He preferred facing a danger rather than not facing any danger.
'On the First Night, the Universal System said The City No Longer Sleeps, and the Thirteenth Dawn and I were forced to face a horde of monsters that we had never encountered or even gotten a clue as to where they came from.'
'If I was to use what the Universal System said... then it was extremely accurate.'
