Fatal Game Syndrome

In the middle of the night, six bells rang again, waking up everyone who was already sleeping lightly.

"Exactly midnight!"

Ling Jiushi raised his hand to check the time. It was the same time as last night. "So, the bells during the day are irregular, but they coincide with midnight at night?"

"That's how it should be!"

Ruan Lanzhu nodded, and the two of them lifted the quilt, turned over and climbed out of bed, tiptoed to the door, leaned over the door panel and listened to the movement outside. The footsteps in slippers were getting closer and closer, and the two of them couldn't help but hold their breath.

Because we don't know how the slit-mouthed woman chooses her targets, maybe it's random or maybe she locks on the target based on the distance between the rooms. But no one changed rooms last night, so we don't know who the unlucky person will be this time.

In fact, the people in other rooms were not asleep. They all put their ears against the door and listened to the footsteps outside, their hearts beating like thunder.

Finally, the footsteps stopped a little distance away from Ling Jiushi’s room.

So, the Slit-Mouth Woman chooses her targets based on proximity?

"The ones living in the innermost seem to be Tao Ming and Chen Jiao!"

Ling Jiushi whispered softly, and Ruan Lanzhu looked at him with a bit of gloating. It was obvious that these two people were not good people. If they were really chosen by the Slit-mouthed Woman, it would also eliminate their worries for their future actions.

But does the gatekeeper dislike this team? The people who died in succession were all picked from their group. There were five people coming in, and it was unknown whether there would be two left when they left.

Then there were knocks on the door one after another. Knowing that there was a door god outside the door, how could the people inside open the door? Until the slit-mouthed woman lost her patience, the rapid knocks turned into loud kicks on the door.

"Go out and see!"

Ruan Lanzhu's hand on the door handle was held down by Ling Jiushi. The Slit-Mouth Woman had not caught her target yet. What if she turned around and killed them if they went out now?

As the two were looking at each other, the sound of the door being broken was heard outside. This female door god still had some strength. Although the door of the hotel was made of wood, it might not be possible for an average man to break it open even if he put in some effort. But she kicked the door open with just two or three kicks.

Ling Jiushi silently withdrew his hand, and Ruan Lanzhu unlocked the door. When the two of them went out, the figure of the woman with the slit mouth was no longer outside the corridor. Only broken pieces of door panel were seen at the door of a room not far away.

"She's in!"

Ling Jiushi spoke while leaning against Ruan Lanzhu's shoulder. The two of them were standing at the door of Li Dongyuan's room. Although Ling Jiushi's voice was small, Li Dongyuan, who was leaning against the door, heard it, so he opened the door and walked out.

Ling Jiushi glanced behind him and saw Tan Zaozao, Cheng Qianli and Xie Ning, who was shamelessly trying to squeeze in with them. The three of them were huddled against the wall, like three frightened quails.

Ling Jiushi silently reached out to help them close the door. The slit-mouthed woman was so violent, don't scare the child again!

"what!!!!!!"

The man's screams broke the silence of the midnight. The three of them looked at each other and ran over quickly. The target of the door god's attack this time turned out to be Tao Ming!

However, just as he ran to the door, the woman's sharp screams rang out from the room again. The slit-mouthed woman was actually planning to kill two people at once tonight?

The three men standing outside the door couldn't help but frown as they looked at the situation inside. The slit-mouthed woman's foot on Tao Ming's back was as heavy as a mountain. No matter how the man under her feet struggled and cursed, he couldn't move at all.

The scissors of the slit-mouthed woman were not in her own hands at this time, but were nailed to Chen Jiao's calf, and the entire tip of the knife penetrated her calf. The terrified woman dragged her blood-soaked legs and continued to crawl towards the window. She had clearly pulled Tao Ming behind her to block her, so why did he still attack her? Wouldn't killing one person satisfy her?

The slit-mouthed woman grinned as she admired the frightened expressions of the two men. When she heard footsteps at the door, she just turned around and ignored them. It was obvious that she didn't mind someone watching her masterpiece.

At this time, Lu Yanxue and Guan Nanshan also tiptoed over. They stood behind Ruan Lanzhu and the others and leaned their heads to look inside.

The following scene was almost nauseating, but Lu Yanxue, the foolish and bold one, and Ruan Lanzhu and Li Dongyuan, the two strong-hearted people, watched it with indifference from beginning to end. Such a violent and bloody scene did not seem to cause any ripples in their hearts.

The slit-mouthed woman who had completed the double kill came out of the door holding a bloody pair of scissors. She stopped in front of the few people, staring at each other in an eerie silence. At this moment, Ruan Lanzhu raised her hand and waved to her as if nothing had happened, "Slow down!"

The slit-mouthed woman smiled, with blood still hanging on her exposed fangs. Then, under the gaze of several people, she actually turned around and left, leaving a trail of red footprints in the long corridor.

"Acquaintance?"

Li Dongyuan put his hands in his pockets and watched the woman leave, and asked casually.

"Not familiar!"

Ruan Lanzhu glanced at Li Dongyuan, then turned to Ling Jiushi and raised an eyebrow, "It's just out of politeness!"

Ling Jiushi glanced at him speechlessly. So polite?

“So sensitive!”

Li Dongyuan rolled his eyes in disdain. He didn't say anything but he started explaining. When did he become so henpecked?

"Let's go back!"

Ling Jiushi looked inside the door again. The two corpses, which were almost unrecognizable as human beings, were lying on the side of the bed in the room. The carpet in the entire room was stained red, and the strong smell of blood made him dizzy.

Several people went back to Ruan Lanzhu's room together. Tan Zaozao and the other two, who had been listening inside the door for a long time, also followed timidly. After pouring a glass of water for Ling Jiushi, Ruan Lanzhu sat down on the single sofa.

"Based on the situation over the past two days, the number of people killed by the gate god is not limited to one person, but the conditions that trigger the killing are not yet clear. Perhaps it is really just the principle of proximity."

Ruan Lanzhu analyzed with everyone, "As for the pattern of her coming out, except that we can't determine the time during the day, the time at night should be the same, exactly midnight!"

"Correct!"

Ling Jiushi took over the conversation and continued, "And every time she came in through the window at the end of the corridor, she would jump out of the window when she returned."

"So tomorrow during the day, let's see if we can get around to the window at the end of the corridor and find a way to the Slit Woman's house."

"Before the night bell rings, we will send a few people to ambush downstairs. When the slit-mouthed woman comes in, the people who stay in the hotel will try to keep her in the hotel for a while longer. The people hiding downstairs will quickly sneak over to find the door and the key while she is not at home."

No one had any objection to Ling Jiushi's words, but who would go looking for clues and who would stay to entangle the slit-mouthed woman? How would they divide the work?

"Well, Lu Yanxue and I will go, and we can bring Guan Nanshan with us. The three of us should be enough!"

Li Dongyuan glanced at the two people standing by the wall, and Lu Yanxue and the other person nodded in agreement. Lu Yanxue and Li Dongyuan were not much different in skills, so if they dragged along a rookie like Guan Nanshan, there shouldn't be any problem.

"Three people shouldn't be enough, right?"

Tan Zaozao in the corner raised his hand hesitantly and said, "Mary's house in the movie is quite big, a three-story villa with a small yard outside. If we want to leave before Mary returns, three people probably won't be able to search even one floor."

Cheng Qianli nodded. "If she goes back and finds the prey in her lair, wouldn't she be very happy?"

"so!"

Ruan Lanzhu knocked lightly on the table, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

"I'll stay at the hotel and try to trap her before you come back. You two take these three with you. When you go out, go in groups of two, one group per floor. We should be able to search in time this way."

Hearing this, Li Dongyuan was still a little hesitant. It didn't matter if he brought three more noobs with him, but the main thing was that he didn't know what would happen if they were traveling in the thick fog. If they encountered danger in there, he couldn't guarantee that he could get the people out safely with that kind of vision.

Xie Ning stood beside Cheng Qianli and opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to say it. In fact, he didn't want to go on an adventure with them at all, but if he really said that he didn't want to go, then the people in front of him would definitely not take him out to play again. After thinking about it, he closed his mouth.

Ruan Lanzhu glanced at the silent Li Dongyuan and knew what he was worried about. "We will go out to explore the way tomorrow during the day. If there is no problem, you can take them with you."

Before he was sure about the situation outside, Ruan Lanzhu would certainly not feel comfortable letting the two of them take a group of noobs out.

"That!"

Li Dongyuan had no more questions, so he stood up from his chair and patted his butt, "If there's nothing else, we'll go back first!"

After sending the people away, Ruan Lanzhu dragged the yawning Ling Jiushi into the bathroom. However, thinking of the important tasks tomorrow, Ruan Lanzhu did not dare to go too far and only tasted a little, which made Ling Jiushi's slender hands suffer.

Ruan Lanzhu held the person in his arms, leaned over and kissed him in the ear, "Remember to compensate me when you go back!"

"......"

Ling Jiushi didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned over with a big movement and faced away from this greedy man. What kind of compensation was that? Who would compensate him?

Thank you for your love, love to Fuyaozhishangqiwanli, Tianjiuniangtuanzi, and Huangbeixiyue.
