Fatal Game Syndrome

When they were almost at the entrance, the two finally returned to Obsidian.

"Why is it here?!"

After entering the door, Ling Jiushi was a little dazed looking at the familiar environment in front of him. The place where he was now was actually the place where he lived before entering Obsidian, but Ruan Lanzhu and others who came in with him were not in the same place as him.

"Lanzhu, where are you?"

Ling Jiushi stood in front of the window, took out his cell phone, and dialed Ruan Lanzhu's number according to the number he remembered.

It is daytime outside the community, but at a glance, there is no one inside the community or on the streets outside, not even a breathing living thing.

The cars on the road stopped in the middle of the road, as if the drivers had disappeared out of thin air. The shops on both sides were also closed. At this time, City C was a lifeless empty city.

"Qianli and I are at Obsidian. Wait for me, I'll come find you right away!"

Ruan Lanzhu turned his head to glance at Cheng Qianli who was sitting on the sofa downstairs and was still confused. The place he just stepped into was actually the corridor on the second floor of Obsidian. After a moment of reaction, he immediately picked up the phone to contact Ling Jiu, but he didn't expect that his call came in first.

"Okay! I'll wait for you at home!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Jiushi called Tan Zaozao and Li Dongyuan again. After confirming that they were safe, they made an appointment to meet at Obsidian.

Ruan Lanzhu arrived very quickly. Perhaps he was the only one driving on the road. In less than half an hour, he and Cheng Qianli drove to the gate of the community.

"Did you find anything?"

After picking up Ling Jiushi, Ruan Lanzhu turned around and asked Cheng Qianli who was sitting in the back row.

"Based on the current time, I did find news about a midnight bus accident."

Cheng Qianli stared at the tablet in his hand and answered without looking up, "A month ago, the night bus No. 100 in this city departed from Jiuyi Village. On the way to the city center, the driver was killed by a wanted criminal who got on the bus."

"Since then, it is said that the car that had the accident appeared at the place where the accident occurred every night, and no one who got on the car got off again."

100 at night?

"Do you know the time of the accident?"

"One-fifteen at night!"

Ling Jiushi took the tablet handed to him by Cheng Qianli and looked at it. The driver was killed on the spot by a slash in the throat, while the wanted criminal escaped through the window and has not been found yet.

"There were two other passengers in the car at the time, but they disappeared after returning home. Their families reported them missing, but they have not been found yet."

Cheng Qianli hugged the passenger seat and lay down next to Ling Jiushi's head. "But according to my guess, he is probably dead."

"Ok!"

Ling Jiushi nodded, and after reading it, he returned the tablet to Cheng Qianli, and took out his mobile phone to check the route of bus No. 100 at night.

"This bus happens to have a stop at the intersection outside Obsidian. Shall we go check it out in the evening?"

Ling Jiushi looked at Ruan Lanzhu and asked.

"Let's wait and see tonight. There should be more than just a few of us entering this world. Judging from the current situation, everyone is scattered in different places. In order to gather everyone together, the game mechanism will take action."

Ling Jiushi thought about it and it was true. If the other people who didn't have the note didn't know this clue, how could they get out? And now we can't be sure that Night 100 is the bus on the note.

When they arrived at Obsidian, Tan Zaozao and Li Dongyuan were already waiting at the door. Li Dongyuan picked up Tan Zaozao on the way. When she saw Ling Jiu, she rushed over and hugged his arm as if she had seen her own mother, which made Ruan Lanzhu frown.

"That's roughly the situation. Let's stay put tonight and see if there's anything unusual going on during the night."

Ling Jiushi briefly told the two of them about the clues they had found. When he heard Cheng Qianli's stomach growling, he stood up resignedly.

Among the few people, only he and Ruan Lanzhu can cook, but Ruan Lanzhu looks indifferent and doesn't seem like he can do it, so he still has to rely on himself.

“You still have to learn how to cook!”

As Ling Jiushi walked towards the kitchen, he did not forget to turn back to educate the three people who didn't know how to cook. However, he saw that all three of them had looks of obvious stupidity on their faces.

At night, Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu returned to their room, while Li Dongyuan took Cheng Qianli and Tan Zaozao to rest in the living room. Just when they were drowsy, they suddenly felt a shock in their bodies, which woke them up immediately.

In the blink of an eye, the five people in Obsidian had changed scenes. The people who were sitting in their homes a second ago were now sitting on a bus.

"WTF!!! Where is this!!!"

"Why am I here!!!"

In addition to the five people from Obsidian, there were some other passengers in the car. Judging from their reactions, four of them should be passers-by. At this moment, they were looking around in panic. Some even tried to smash the car door, trying to get out.

The other few people sat woodenly in the front half of the car. They didn't react at all when a few more people suddenly appeared on the car.

"It's night bus 100!"

Ling Jiushi pulled Ruan Lanzhu's sleeve and motioned him to look at the display screen in front of him.

"Those people in front should be NPCs. Let's go up and ask about the situation first!"

Ruan Lanzhu stood up from his seat, smoothed his clothes, and walked towards the front of the car.

"Hello, where does this bus go?"

Ruan Lanzhu stood next to the seat of the young man in the front row. Hearing Ruan Lanzhu's voice, the young man raised his head and looked at him slowly, and it took him a long time before he answered him.

"To People's Square."

After saying that, the young man slowly turned his head and continued to look ahead with lifeless eyes.

At this time, the female passenger sitting in the front seat turned around and looked at Ruan Lanzhu, "You are also the passengers caught by the driver, right?"

Ruan Lanzhu raised his eyebrows, "That's right!"

"The driver was looking for someone who cut his neck."

The woman turned her head and looked out the window with a confused look on her face. "He said he would stop the car only when he found someone."

Ling Jiushi walked to the driver's seat and took a look. The driver was a middle-aged man wearing a blue work suit. He looked like a normal person.

But as the driver turned his head to look over, Ling Jiushi saw the deep wound on his neck that was so deep that the bone could be seen. As he moved, blood gushed out of the wound, instantly soaking the clothes in front of him. The blood flowed down his body to the ground, and flowed out of the cab along the floor. The strong smell of blood instantly spread throughout the entire car.

Ling Jiushi swallowed and suppressed the urge to vomit, and held down Cheng Qianli who was trying to lean over to look at the driver. This kid is timid, so he must not scream suddenly and alarm the NPC.

"It looks like we have to find the murderer before we can go out."

Ling Jiushi returned to Ruan Lanzhu and whispered.

"The driver didn't stop and open the door when we arrived at the station. It seems that if we want to find the murderer, we can only do it during the day."

Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi turned around and walked to the back. The other quail-like passers-by did not dare to approach the driver's cab in front, but when they saw the two of them coming over, they all came forward.

"Brother, what on earth is going on?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at these people and didn't have the patience to talk to them anymore. He patted Li Dongyuan on the shoulder and motioned him to explain.

"Do you think we will be caught here every night until we find the murderer?"

Looking at the noisy people in front, Ling Jiushi approached Ruan Lanzhu and asked softly.

"It's possible! Moreover, we don't know the taboo conditions yet. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just getting the passerby into the car."
