Fatal Game Syndrome

The next morning, the remaining thirteen guests came out from the second-floor corridor in twos and threes, yawning, and prepared to go to the restaurant for breakfast. When everyone just reached the stairs, the deep bell sounded again throughout the hotel.

"go!"

Ruan Lanzhu reacted very quickly. When everyone couldn't help but turn back to look in the direction of the corridor on the second floor, he had already taken Ling Jiushi's hand and jumped down the stairs and jumped over the stair railing.

"Fuck! What time is it? Are you starting work so early?"

Li Dongyuan was originally walking lazily behind, but when he turned around, he saw the woman with the slit opening the window and climbing in from outside. He quickly ran down the stairs in two or three steps and did not forget to pull up Cheng Qianli, who was stumbling and sleepy.

"Seven o'clock!"

Ling Jiushi looked at his watch and found that the bell rang an hour earlier than yesterday morning!

"From 7am to midnight, we have plenty of time to act!"

Amid the chaos, thirteen people squeezed into the platform under the clock. The woman with the slit mouth walked up the stairs step by step, dragging a pair of big scissors, and finally stopped at the handrail.

"No one is left alone. It looks like she won't give up."

Ling Jiushi had been staring at the woman. She looked at everyone with interest, as if she was choosing a lamb to be slaughtered.

Ruan Lanzhu shrugged indifferently, "Everyone is here, we may not be the unlucky ones!"

Even if she didn't choose him this time, he would still have to fight with the Slit-Mouth Woman at night. If she chose him, the worst that could happen was that he would take action in advance.

"If she chooses someone from our team, then we'll have to move up last night's plan!"

As she was speaking, the slit-mouthed woman's scissors quickly stabbed at the man closest to the handrail.

The man was one of the lone wolves. He had never expected that he would be killed even though he had entered a safe zone. The scissors pierced into his shoulder fiercely and blood gushed out immediately. The man screamed and held the scissors on his shoulder tightly. Unexpectedly, the slit-mouthed woman grinned, then pulled hard, and pulled the scissors and the man out of the handrail.

The man fell down the stairs from the handrail and lay on the ground on the first floor, breathing in but not out. The slit-mouthed woman followed him downstairs with disgust in her eyes. This man was too useless. She hadn't done anything yet and he was almost dead.

The people standing on the platform couldn't help but breathe lighter. It turned out that this so-called safe zone was not safe at all. They still couldn't escape the pursuit of the door god. It was just that they were lucky this time because they were not the ones chosen.

Everyone silently watched as the Slit-Mouthed Woman stabbed the Lone Wolf to death one by one. The scene was still bloody, but everyone was able to watch the whole process calmly and leisurely.

"We have to get out now!"

Ruan Lanzhu glanced at the direction the woman left. The bell rang earlier and earlier, and the safe zone they thought of could not stop the door god from killing people. The further they went, the more dangerous it became.

"Ok!"

Ling Jiushi nodded and touched his flat belly, "Let's eat first!"

The meal tasted like chewing wax. Everyone who had lost their shelter was in a heavy mood. In addition, they had not slept well for two nights in a row, so their heads were dizzy.

When they reached the hotel entrance, Ruan Lanzhu stopped and turned to look at Lu Yanxue. "Take them and look around the hotel to see if there's anything they missed. If we're exploring, the three of us are enough!"

"Okay!" Lu Yanxue nodded, "Then you guys be careful!"

She also knew that too many people would make the action too conspicuous, so she gave some instructions and watched the few people disappear into the thick fog with a few newbies.

After going out and walking a few steps forward, the three of them did see the pool and the big rock they had mentioned before, but these things probably did not contain any useful information. After going down the stairs, the three of them turned left and walked directly under the window where the woman with the slit entered and exited.

The distance from the door to the window was very peaceful, and nothing strange appeared. Hibiscus trees were planted on both sides of the road. The branches that had not been trimmed for a long time had extended to the middle of the road, forming a long corridor.

After turning left again at the end of the road, he stopped and looked up. The wall from the second-floor window to the ground was covered with bloodstains. Some of them had turned black due to the passage of time, while the outermost layer of fresh red was still flowing down, which was left just now.

The bloodstains on the stone slabs on the ground were of different shades and durations, just like the bloodstains on the walls. The three of them followed the bloodstains and continued to walk deeper into the thick fog, while paying close attention to the situation around them.

Not long after walking forward, an iron door with a hollow center appeared in front of the three of them. It was the same door that Ruan Lanzhu had seen in the second-floor window before. However, this door was very strange. There was nothing around it. There was only this door standing alone in the middle of the road.

"Push it away or go around it?"

Li Dongyuan was walking in the front and turned around to ask Ruan Lanzhu, who was walking at the end, that this door was not the way out and if he pushed it open, he didn't know if it would trigger some dangerous conditions. After thinking about it, he decided to go around it from the side.

Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi did not push the door. They followed Li Dongyuan and walked around the grass beside the door. After they came over, they found that there was no bloodstain on the ground behind the door, while the bloodstain in front of the door was still so dense.

“It doesn’t feel right!”

Ling Jiushi scratched his head. Could it be that the space coming through this door is different from the space going around the door?

"Go back and come through the door!"

Ruan Lanzhu turned around and went back. There was no lock or handle on the door. Ruan Lanzhu pushed it lightly and it opened silently. Although the door looked like it had a lot of rust on the surface, it was surprisingly smooth to push open.

Sure enough, when the three of them looked at the ground, they saw that the bloodstains outside the door continued to spread forward along the door, and the scene behind the door was exactly the same as the place they had just passed, except that there were more bloodstains on the ground.

"What's the point of this door standing here?"

Ling Jiushi stood at the door, stroking his chin and thinking, "Perhaps, when we push open this door, Mary will be able to sense it?"

“Just go in and take a look and you’ll find out!”

Li Dongyuan walked in first and walked along the stone road behind the door for about thirty or forty meters. A courtyard wall blocked the path.

However, the courtyard wall in front of him was the same as the wall under the second-floor window just now, covered with crisscrossing bloodstains. But the strange thing was that the bloodstains here were in large patches, like the marks left after dragging. Logically, the farther away from the murder scene, the less bloodstains there should be.

"Look inside!"

Li Dongyuan clapped his hands and was eager to try. Ling Jiushi quickly held his shoulders to stop him from moving. "Mary is still at home. Do you want to die?"

You have died once, don’t you know how to cherish your life?

"You don't want to go either! Have you forgotten how you looked when you passed the tenth door for the first time?"

Ruan Lanzhu, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, looked at Ling Jiu with eager eyes. He didn't say that he was going to flip over. Besides, he came out in that state the first time he entered the tenth door. He was definitely tricked, okay? As the highest door god in the door, how could he be afraid of the door god of the tenth door?

"We agreed to just explore the route and go there at night when Mary is not at home. She is at home now so we should not act rashly."

The two of them shrugged indifferently. To be on the safe side, they just listened to him!

The three of them walked back along the way they came and did not encounter any danger until they entered the hotel gate. This made Lu Yanxue and others who were waiting for them in the hotel feel relieved.

"How about it?"

Lu Yanxue glanced around. The remaining lone wolves and the ones in groups of three looked over from time to time. They watched Ruan Lanzhu and the other two go out, but they didn't expect them to come back so soon and unharmed.

They also wanted to know what was in the thick fog, so they all pricked up their ears to listen to the movements here.

“It’s still normal!”

Li Dongyuan put his hands behind his head and leaned back on the sofa. "Except for a strange iron door, there is nothing strange!"

Weird iron door?

Everyone was stunned. The four eavesdroppers didn't care about the others and gathered around. "Iron gate? Is it the door to go out?"

Li Dongyuan sneered, "How can we get out so easily? Don't you know that doors usually appear in places where door gods often appear? Although that road is also a place where door gods often pass by, there is no danger. How could the door be set there?"

That's true!

Several people also knew this truth. Doors and keys usually appear in more dangerous places. After the three of them came back, there was no sign of any action on their bodies, so this road probably was not dangerous.

"that......"

Lone Wolf raised his head and looked at Ruan Lanzhu, "I just heard that you guys have some action tonight. If possible, why don't we work together? This way we'll have a better chance of winning!"

Ruan Lanzhu crossed her legs, holding Ling Jiushi's hand and leaning leisurely on the sofa. When she heard Dulang's opinion, she glanced to the side and saw the three of them were also looking at them straight.

"It's not impossible to cooperate!"

Ruan Lanzhu said slowly, "But no matter who finds the key, the clue note must belong to us!"

"this......."

Several people fell silent. If the clue note was given to them, wouldn't the eleventh door, which was already more dangerous than this door, be even more difficult? Even if they were willing to share the clue information, without the note in hand, they might not be able to enter the door corresponding to this clue?

"To be honest, even if the four of you work together, you are no match for the Gate God!"

Ruan Lanzhu smiled indifferently. Even if two of the four of them were to hold back the woman with the slit mouth, could the other two find the door and the key quickly?

Moreover, it seems that none of these four people can fight against the door god. Let alone getting clues, it will be difficult for them to get out alive.

The four of them felt a little embarrassed. Although the man was telling the truth, it was still heartbreaking.

"With you it doesn't matter, without you it doesn't matter, just as you please!"

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to the four people. Instead, he grabbed Ling Jiushi's hand and placed it in front of his eyes to admire it carefully, looking like a playboy.
