"You keep saying that we are your teammates, but when Yuan Hua was captured by Kui Gui, you didn’t save him! Are we really so weak that we can’t handle a single Kui Gui?"
"Qiu Ning, that's not fair!"
A chubby man stepped forward from the group.
His name was Wu Yong, the favorite teammate of Xie Tengfei before Lu Ming joined the team.
A professional sycophant, he always followed Xie Tengfei's lead.
"At that time, Yuan Hua was already captured by Kui Gui, with his throat in its grip. Even if we managed to rescue him, he would likely bleed out and die!"
Moreover, Yuan Hua's skills didn’t contribute much to the team.
Rescuing one Yuan Hua would require a significant amount of Points for items, a trade that Xie Tengfei naturally wouldn’t make.
"But Yuan Hua was captured while trying to save you! How can you repay kindness with malice?"
Lin Xun was thoroughly enjoying the drama unfolding!
Indeed, the essence of the Death Game was not a struggle between humans and ghosts.
It was a struggle among humans themselves.
As the saying goes, I fear ghosts, yet they have never harmed me; I fear people, yet they leave me battered and bruised.
Currently, nearly half of the players who had died were victims of other players.
Wu Yong’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.
At that moment, Xie Tengfei spoke up, "Yuan Hua's sacrifice is not just to save Wu Yong, but to save all of us, including you! If we waste the opportunity he has created for us to survive, wouldn't that mean he dies in vain?"
"Dog thief!"
"Big talker!"
"Just like my boss!"
Once Xie Tengfei opened his mouth, his words were indeed extraordinary.
What he meant was that Yuan Hua's sacrifice was not solely for Wu Yong; it was also for you. If you were to throw your life away, wouldn't that be wasting the chance he provided you to live?
Qiu Ning was still a bit too inexperienced.
She knew his words were wrong, but she didn't know how to refute them.
As the stalemate continued, the surrounding White Smoke began to rise again...
The figure of the Ghost Madam appeared once more within the White Smoke.
But this time, she moved cautiously, step by step.
Upon seeing Lin Xun's figure, the Ghost Madam's face instantly filled with confidence.
She stepped out from the White Smoke, a sinister smile spreading across her grim face.
This time, there were only ten minutes of freedom.
The crowd spent the precious ten minutes arguing among themselves.
"Dear guests, the ladies in the building are already waiting for you. Please, take a moment to rest!"
With that, White Smoke emerged surrounded by numerous Ghost Servants.
Each of them held a wooden plaque, distributing them to the guests.
The plaques bore the names of the famous courtesans in the Brothel.
Clearly, they intended for the guests to stay overnight.
Lin Xun took the plaque from one of the Ghost Servants and examined it closely.
The name engraved on his plaque was Xiao Yu.
[New Single Player Main Quest: Accompany Xiao Yu (Accompany Time: 1 Hour)]
In other words, if he could endure for an hour, the task would be completed.
But an hour...
This Game really overestimated a man's endurance...
What man could last an hour?
"Please, dear guests, retire to your rooms and enjoy their services!"
The Ghost Madam emphasized the word "service" with a heavy and sinister tone.
Service?
It must be a service involving severed hands, feet, heads, and bodies...
Sure enough, the members of Xie Tengfei's team panicked as soon as they received the wooden tokens.
"This... doesn't this mean we have to split up?"
"The ghost is trying to catch us all at once..."
"Old Xie, you have to come up with a plan for us!"
Xie Tengfei also wore a worried expression.
In this game, the Ghost Madam acted like an NPC who assigns tasks.
They, as players, had to follow the storyline.
If they deviated from the plot, the inevitable outcome would be a Death Ending!
He could only reassure everyone, "Once we enter the room, don't act against your character's persona, and don't panic! Remember, the essence of the game is to keep players engaged, not to drive them away!"
[Now that's something sensible!]
[The old man is trying to win hearts! I wonder if his pre-battle motivation will be effective.]
The team was filled with useless individuals; after they parted ways, it was uncertain how many would survive.
Lin Xun glanced at the sign in Hua Tian's hand, which bore the name Cowherd.
Cowherd?
"This brothel seems to cater to both male and female clients..." Hua Tian said, holding the wooden plaque, looking somewhat at a loss.
She had never been to a bar in her life, let alone seen a male escort...
"Once you enter the room, don't drink or eat. Just talk about being tired, close your eyes, but absolutely do not sleep!" Lin Xun instructed.
Hua Tian's face flushed red.
The two of them separated, one going left and the other right, heading toward their respective task rooms.
Hua Tian stood in front of Cowherd's door, taking deep breaths. In truth, she wished Lin Xun could accompany her into the room.
However, if Lin Xun did accompany her inside, it could very well lead to the failure of their mission!
Moreover, having three people in one room might be a bit too stimulating...
Thinking this, Hua Tian rubbed her slightly reddened face and quickly pulled her wandering thoughts back together.
At that moment, a girl's voice came from behind Hua Tian. "Did you also get Cowherd's token?"
Hua Tian turned around and saw Qiu Ning standing behind him.
Qiu Ning was also holding Cowherd's wooden token.
The tokens that the players received all bore the names of ordinary performers.
These ordinary performers lived on the first floor.
One by one, others entered their respective rooms.
Lin Xun, holding Xiao Yu's jade token, walked into Xiao Yu's room.
The room was dimly lit, and a faint smell of decay lingered in the air.
He stood in the room, taking in the scent, and soon his nostrils adjusted to the foul odor.
After getting used to the darkness for a while, Lin Xun noticed a White-Clad Woman standing by the dressing mirror in the distance, her pale hands holding Iron Comb.
The woman had a slender figure with a delicate waist, yet her upper and lower curves were exceptionally full.
Standing there, she was a beautifully curved sight.
[Player, your chance to find love has arrived!]
In the pitch-black room, a faint beam of moonlight streamed in through the window.
"Swish..."
"Swish..."
"Swish..."
The woman held the Hairpin above her head, the sound of combing her hair was dull and heavy, like a blade scraping against flesh, chaotic and unsettling.
Strands of her hair fell to the ground.
Like snowflakes drifting down to earth.
Soon, the floor was covered with her dark tresses.
Her scalp bore numerous bloody scratches from the comb.
It was stained with blood and flesh, with strands of hair clinging to the wounds.
Xiao Yu seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to comb her hair with the Hairpin. Before long, her scalp vanished, revealing white bone beneath, as she relentlessly scraped at her skull without pause.
The sound of the Hairpin brushing against bone was akin to nails scratching a chalkboard.
Lin Xun cleared his throat and recited a poem.
"With a glance, the gauze lanterns warm,
Ink fragrance sways, brushing my attire.
Hand in hand, we hold the comb tight,
Feelings linger, hair strands entwined in fate."
Xiao Yu suddenly turned around, her face alight with surprise.
"Mr. Lin, you finally came."
Her face was dotted with small green spots, as if insects had made their nests upon her skin.
The green spots were dense, resembling the holes pecked by woodpeckers on tree trunks, scattered all over Xiao Yu's face.
[Name: Xiao Yu.]
[Note: When the lights go out, it’s all the same.]
Lin Xun felt a bit uneasy.
He had watched countless horror films.
Though he had encountered numerous ghosts and monsters, he still could not overcome his fear of clusters…
