Fatal Game Syndrome

After the two returned to the small building, all the visitors were still sitting in the lobby on the first floor. There were many novices among them, and their panicked expressions could be identified at a glance.

"Everyone go to sleep first. There are rooms on the second and third floors. You can allocate them among yourselves!"

??Everyone looked at each other. Except for four men and one woman who got up and went upstairs, everyone else sat where they were and did not move.

"No, can't we all sleep on the first floor? Isn't it safer with more people?"

??A small female voice came from the corner. Ling Jiushi looked over in the direction of the voice. Those who stayed downstairs seemed to be newcomers. However, they should have understood their current situation. They did not dare to act rashly based on Ruan Lanzhu's words.

"No way!"

Ling Jiushi shook his head. "In the world inside the gate, if the number of people in a room exceeds a certain number, everyone will fall into a deep sleep at a certain point in time. No matter what happens at that time, no one will wake up. This is more dangerous."

??After hearing this, the newcomers looked even more panicked. In the end, Li Dongyuan comforted them with a few words before letting them go upstairs.

"How's it out there?"

??Li Dongyuan poked the fire with a stick and looked up at Ruan Lanzhu and the other person opposite him.

"This door is very strange. It is completely different from the last time we came in. Apart from the surrounding environment, the door god and the triggering conditions are unknown."

"Besides, we can't get out of the woods now. As soon as we stepped into the woods, the trees inside came alive!"

"Alive???"

??Tan Zaozao and Cheng Qianli's eyes widened, "What do you mean alive? Will it eat people?"

"It's not clear whether they eat humans or not, but once we entered, the trees inside moved on their own and sent us back to the front of the small building. It felt like we were being kept in this pen by something, like food."

??After hearing Ling Jiushi’s words, Li Dongyuan fell silent. There was no NPC, and he didn’t know the taboo conditions. There was also a moving forest outside. This door was a bit weird!

"But this time there were twenty-one people passing through!"

Ling Jiushi stroked his chin and looked at the second floor.

"Yeah!" Ruan Lanzhu also nodded, "But these people are quite obedient, no matter if they are newbies or veterans!"

Even if the obedient people are rookies, Ruan Lanzhu doesn't mind leading them through the levels together.

"Go to sleep first, take a look tonight, and we'll deal with the rest tomorrow!"

Ruan Lanzhu stood up, patted the ash on his trouser legs, and warned, "The taboos are not clear yet, so don't sleep too deeply at night!"

"it is good!"

Li Dongyuan and the other two nodded, then stood up and prepared to go upstairs.

Just as Ling Jiushi was about to go upstairs, Cheng Qianli and Tan Zaozao grabbed his arms from the left and right.

"what happened?"

Ling Jiushi turned around and looked at the two of them in confusion. Ruan Lanzhu beside him also stopped and looked at the two pig trotters that were pulling Ling Jiushi's arms with an unfriendly look.

"hehe!"

The two men shivered when they were stared at, laughed dryly twice, and quickly let go, then turned around and looked at Ling Jiushi pitifully.

"Brother Lingling, it's so scary here. Can we stay in the same room with you? Let's squeeze in!"

Tan Zaozao looked at him eagerly, not daring to glance at Ruan Lanzhu even once. Her timid look made Ling Jiushi want to laugh.

"Yes, yes! I'm scared too. I want to squeeze in with you guys too!"

Cheng Qianli also blinked and looked at Ling Jiushi. Ruan Lanzhu, that hard-hearted man, would definitely not agree to let him live with them!

"no!"

really!

Before Ling Jiushi could open his mouth, Ruan Lanzhu next to him rejected them both flatly.

"We're sleeping together, are you sure you want to come and see?"

Tan Zaozao and Cheng Qianli rolled their eyes. When they first came out and found the two together, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They thought Ruan Lanzhu would be in love with him to death! They didn't expect that he would catch up with her so soon.

In the following two months, the people from Obsidian finally got to know the clingy Ruan Lanzhu. He really wanted to stick to Ling Jiushi 24 hours a day, and he was just short of tying Ling Jiushi to his waistband.

"Brother Lingling! I'm scared..."

Tan Zaozao ignored Ruan Lanzhu. She used to be afraid when she saw Ruan Lanzhu's dark face, but now she has Ling Jiushi as her savior. As long as he agrees to Ruan Lanzhu, there is nothing she can do!

"this......"

Ling Jiushi looked at Ruan Lanzhu in embarrassment. One was a girl, and the other was a teenager with questionable IQ. To be honest, he was a little worried.

"Go find Li Dongyuan!"

After saying that, Ruan Lanzhu turned around, put his arm around Ling Jiushi's waist and went upstairs, leaving the two big lights looking at each other in bewilderment. In the end, they went to find Li Dongyuan.

The next morning, the two people who were sleeping in each other's arms were awakened by a woman's scream. Ling Jiushi raised his head from Ruan Lanzhu's arms in a daze.

"what happened?"

"Something must have happened!" Ruan Lanzhu touched his hair and said, "I'll go out and take a look first!"

"Together!"

Ling Jiushi woke up instantly, kicked off the quilt, and jumped up from the bed quickly.

"Slower!"

Ruan Lanzhu followed suit with amusement and climbed up from the bed.

When the two went downstairs, the hall on the first floor was already full of people, but compared to last night, there were obviously several fewer people today.

"what happened?"

The two of them sat down next to Li Dongyuan and the other two, and Ling Jiushi leaned over to his ear and whispered.

"Five dead!"

Li Dongyuan's face was heavy, "The taboo conditions have been revealed!"

"What is it?"

Ling Jiushi also straightened his body.

"Anyone who slept alone last night is dead!"

"Sleep alone?"

Ling Jiushi looked back at Ruan Lanzhu. Fortunately, they were sleeping together, and they were hugging each other.

"Yes, no matter if they were alone in a room or sleeping in a bed, they were all dead!"

"Luckily we slept together last night!"

Tan Zaozao rubbed her chest in fear. Last night, she and Cheng Qianli ran to Li Dongyuan's room, but the bed was a little small and the three of them couldn't sleep together, so the three of them lay sideways on the bed all night.

Originally, she said she would go to the third floor to find a new room. Some rooms on the third floor had two beds, and if she changed rooms, she could sleep in a bed by herself. But Li Dongyuan said he was sleepy and asked her and Cheng Qianli to go by themselves.

Fortunately, they were too timid to go to the third floor by themselves, otherwise we might not have seen them today.

"What's wrong with this door god? Is he discriminating against singles?"

Ruan Lanzhu sneered. It was the first time he saw the taboo that forbid only one person in bed. It was really weird.

"Go up and have a look!"

Ruan Lanzhu glanced at the trembling guests, then led his people upstairs.

"Has anyone seen the door god?"

When he was halfway up the stairs, Ruan Lanzhu suddenly turned around and looked at the other people downstairs.

"me......"

A gentle man wearing glasses looked pale and raised his hand tremblingly.

"Come up together!"

After saying that, Ruan Lanzhu winked at Li Dongyuan. Li Dongyuan rolled his eyes, but finally went downstairs and picked up the man with glasses.

Following the guidance of the man with glasses, several people came to the room where he stayed last night. At this time, the floor of the room was covered with blood, and the strong fishy smell almost made Tan Zaozao vomit.

"You said you saw the door god?"

“Yes, yes…”

"Talk about it!"

Ruan Lanzhu calmly observed the situation in the room. There were two beds in the room. One of the beds had signs of being slept in, but it looked normal.

But the other bed was the crime scene! The bedding was hanging messily beside the bed, and there were large patches of blood on the bed, which had seeped through the sheets and quilt and dripped onto the floor. The whole scene seemed to show the entire process of the person sleeping on it, from struggle to death.

There were only large patches of blood in the room, with a little bit of minced meat in it, but no corpse. It seemed that the person had been eaten by something!

"It's a woman with long hair!"

The man with glasses swallowed and tried his best to control his trembling body. "She climbed in through the window and climbed directly onto the bed along the wall. She had so much hair, and it was so long that it instantly wrapped up Li Mian on the bed."

"And then? Why didn't she eat you?"

"I, I don't know. Zhang Zhi and I slept together last night. After she came in, we hid under the quilt. How could we dare to see her? We only heard the sound of her chewing bones."

When the man with glasses mentioned chewing bones, he seemed to recall the horror of last night and trembled even more violently. "We didn't dare to lift the quilt and come out until the morning."

After seeing off the man with glasses, they went to see the rooms of several other dead people. As Li Dongyuan said, the dead people were all people who slept alone.

"Xiaojiu is no longer inside this door, so who is the door god?"

Ling Jiushi scratched his hair. It sounded like Xiaojiu, but Xiaojiu's family was no longer around.

"Do you remember the temple we visited?"

"You mean..."

Ling Jiushi looked at Ruan Lanzhu. The temple was outside the woods. If the door god was something in the temple, then the movable woods would make sense!

"We have to find a way to get out and see!"
