At that moment, the woman clutched her stomach with one hand, clearly unable to hold it any longer, while her other hand grasped the man's arm as she climbed down from the bunk. They stood at the door for a moment, and finally, the woman cried out, "I really can't hold it anymore!"
The man no longer hesitated and took the woman outside.
Inside the room, everyone appeared to be asleep, but in reality, they were all awake, waiting for something to happen.
Unexpectedly, within just ten minutes, the couple returned without any incident.
After such a long time, who wouldn't want to use the restroom? A new player then asked, "Where's the bathroom?"
The man who had come back said nothing, but the woman hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's too dark outside, and we couldn't find any light source." There was no need to say more; everyone understood. The courtyard was simple; it was impossible for it to have a city-style restroom.
The newcomer could no longer hold back and asked again, "Is anyone going?"
Seeing no one respond, he muttered something under his breath and stepped outside.
"Ah! Help me! Someone! Help!"
The heart-wrenching scream shattered the tense atmosphere in the room. The couple who had just gone out tensed up; the woman exclaimed in shock, "How could this be?"
Alongside the scream was a sickening sound of flesh being pierced. Moments later, silence fell again.
As dawn gradually broke and light filled the sky, it did little to dispel the gloom hanging over everyone’s hearts.
"Ah, my bones are all scattered; finally, it's dawn."
A languid female voice floated down from the large bed above. She then jumped off decisively and opened the door, standing at the entrance to bask comfortably in the morning light.
Through her slender figure, everyone looked outside into the courtyard but found no traces of what they had just heard. It was as if the sounds were merely an illusion; however, it was undeniably true that one person was missing from the bunk.
"Tour Guide Sister, my grandma has made breakfast! Come on out and eat!" A seven or eight-year-old boy ran over, pointing toward one side of the courtyard.
Bai Miao Miao covered her mouth in horror; this child was the one who had startled her when they entered the village!
Looking at that not-so-fresh but undeniably cute little face made her question whether what she had seen earlier was an illusion or reality.
As everyone stepped out of the room, they noticed that during the night, a large shed had appeared in what was once a courtyard with only two houses. Inside were large pots for cooking and several long tables set with dishes.
Initially not holding much hope—after all, yesterday's encounter with the old woman had been quite unsettling—the food laid out now couldn’t be called a feast but certainly looked appetizing and fragrant.
The table was laden with an abundance of meat and vegetables, and the bowls and chopsticks were clean, which did not diminish anyone's appetite.
Jiang Bai stepped forward and took a look around, then turned to the child, testing the waters. "What about you? Did your grandmother make all this? Do you usually eat this well?"
The child showed no fear of strangers, as if accustomed to interactions. He answered clearly, "I’m Shijiu. The dishes are made by my grandmother, and I helped a bit. We usually eat meat too. The village raises Huang Eels, and there are tourists who come to visit, so we’re not short on food. It’s just that our house is old and looks a bit run down."
Having been in the game for over ten hours, everyone was already hungry. After asking about where to take care of their basic needs, they planned to settle down and start eating. The food from Eerie Mall was considered the safest; everything that could be consumed was expensive, and very few players were willing to spend their points on it.
Moreover, on the first night, it was unlikely that they would all be poisoned. Everyone ate without much caution while casually inquiring about the Huang Eels in the village from the child.
Yun Zhi Yue, however, showed no interest in eating. She reached out her hand towards Song Huai and said, "Give me some water."
