Fatal Game Syndrome

"Haven't you seen the movie Slit-Mouth Woman?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Tan Zaozao was very surprised. She thought this horror movie was quite famous, but she didn't expect that none of them had seen it.

"Teacher Guan hasn't seen it either?"

No way? Let’s not talk about the others, but Guan Nanshan is a person in the film and television industry. Even if he hasn’t seen this movie, he must have heard of it, right?

Guan Nanshan thought for a long time and shook his head. "I don't watch horror movies. Maybe I've heard of it, but I really don't have any impression of it."

"Isn't your life too boring?"

Ruan Lanzhu lazily leaned against the head of the bed and rolled his eyes at Tan Zaozao impatiently, "Is it boring if you don't watch horror movies? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay! Actually, this movie tells the story of a woman who cheats on her husband. It's been released for many years and I don't remember the details very clearly, but it's pretty scary!"

When Cheng Qianli heard the word "horrible", he quickly grabbed Ling Jiushi's arm and hugged him in his arms, "How horrible is it?"

Isn't it a bad idea to listen to horror stories late at night?

"It's bloody and violent, but there are no ghosts!"

Tan Zaozao glared at him with disappointment, sorted out her thoughts and continued to tell everyone what she knew.

"The heroine's name is Mary. I forgot her husband's name. After Mary married her husband, she stayed at home as a housewife. Her husband was often away on business due to work. Later, she fell in love with the man who repaired her car. Whenever her husband was away on business, Mary would invite the mechanic to live at her home."

"Her husband's last business trip was a few days before their wedding anniversary. He was not supposed to be able to go back on the anniversary, but his colleague saw that he was restless and took over his work. Mary's husband wanted to give Mary a surprise and went back early."

Tan Zaozao spread his hands, "I think you guys should have guessed what happened next!"

"He caught them both in the act, and Mary's husband pulled out a gun and killed the mechanic, but he didn't kill Mary."

"When Mary thought she had escaped, her husband tied her up and beat her with a belt until she was completely wiped out."

At this point, Tan Zaozao paused, grinned and sucked his teeth, "It's going to be scary from here on!"

"He found a pair of large pruning shears in the yard and used them to cut Mary's flesh bit by bit, severing her tendons in her hands and feet. Finally, he cut two notches along the corners of her lips. Mary's mouth was split directly below her ears."

Cheng Qianli covered his mouth and felt a little painful. Although Tan Zaozao only said a few simple words, he could imagine the bloody plot of the movie in his mind.

"And Mary isn't dead yet!"

It would be better to die!

Everyone silently complained in their hearts that this was simply worse than death!

"Her husband found an electric grinding wheel and grinded each of her teeth to sharp points. The grinding wheel always hit her gums and lips. Mary's face was covered with blood stains, which was very scary."

Tan Zaozao rubbed her arms and said, "After doing all this, her husband went back to his room to rest. When he woke up and went downstairs, Mary was already dead."

"Then the man calmly carried Mary into the bathroom, took a shower for her, and changed her into a clean white nightgown. After doing all this, he dragged the mechanic into the room, laid the two of them side by side on the bed, and finally left with his bag."

"That's it?"

"Ok!"

Tan Zaozao nodded. "The movie ends here. The last shot is the back of Mary's husband walking out the door."

Ling Jiushi crossed his arms and thought, "If you say so, the image of that woman just now is indeed consistent with Mary, but her current appearance is obviously after the movie, so..."

Ruan Lanzhu continued with Ling Jiushi's words, "So this is not the scene from the movie "Slit-Mouth Woman". This should be the sequel to this movie!"

"But why is she in the hotel? According to your description, shouldn't she be at home?"

Tan Zaozao could only shrug at Ling Jiushi's doubts. How would she know? That was all she knew!

"Forget it, it's getting late, you guys should go back to bed first, we can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else!"

Ruan Lanzhu raised his hand to check the time. It was almost one o'clock in the morning.

That night, except for Ruan Lanzhu and the others, all the other guests slept very uneasily, especially the two who witnessed the entire process of the slit-mouthed woman's murder. They sat trembling in the corner all night.

After getting up, Tan Zaozao ran over to help Ling Jiushi tie two pigtails. After entering the room, his facial features became much softer and his Adam's apple was completely invisible. As long as he didn't speak, you couldn't tell that he was a man.

"So lovely!"

Tan Zaozao held her face in her hands as she admired the woman who was walking forward with her back to her. She was tall and slender. Such a good cabbage was taken away by Ruan Lanzhu, a pig!

At the dining table, there were sixteen people besides the one killed by the Slit-Mouth Woman last night. Everyone was eating breakfast in silence, and the two frightened people had wooden expressions, obviously they had not yet recovered.

"That woman last night..."

As soon as Ruan Lanzhu uttered these words, the two of them raised their heads and looked at him in horror, as if he had said something terrible.

So sensitive?

Ling Jiushi looked at the two people diagonally opposite him, while the others did not leave after finishing their meal, and they all wanted to hear what happened last night.

"What happened last night?"

The man next to Chen Jiao asked with a serious face. From last night till now, the two of them looked absent-minded and he didn't get any clues. However, they did show some reaction after dinner.

"last night......"

The young man put down his bowl and chopsticks and lowered his head, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but everyone could sense the aura of resistance from them, and it seemed that they were not willing to recall what happened last night.

"In fact, the three of us didn't sleep last night!"

The tall and thin boy among the two seemed to have calmed down. He looked up at Ling Jiushi opposite him. After they came in, he realized that he had been deceived by Chen Jiao and the others. The three of them got together with no outsiders around, so they couldn't help but scold the two.

"Then we heard a bell. We looked at the time and it was exactly midnight, but the bell rang six times. Not long after, we heard footsteps."

At that time, they were analyzing whether there was anything wrong with the bell. After hearing the footsteps, they immediately kept silent and dared not make any noise. However, they did not expect that the footsteps that came from far away would finally stop at their door.

"She came to our door and started knocking, and she kept knocking harder and harder, so we hid under the table."

Ling Jiushi looked up and thought about what happened last night. The two people squatting under the table were actually very conspicuous. They could be seen by standing at the door. However, the beds in the room were all box-type, so squatting under the bed would definitely be safer than under the table.

"She got impatient after knocking for a while and kicked the door open."

The man swallowed and continued, "Seeing her walking towards us with a pair of large scissors, Li Chuan got up and tried to run, but just as he reached the door, she stepped on his back and threw him to the ground."

"Why don't you jump out of the window?"

Tan Zaozao held his chin with his hands, not quite understanding. There was a door god holding a pair of scissors guarding the door, and they all lived on the second floor. He wouldn't die if he jumped down anyway. Instead of jumping out of the window, he wanted to break through the door. Isn't this courting death?

"I don't know! Maybe he was panicked at that time too!"

"The woman took a pair of scissors and attacked Li Chuan. We didn't dare to open our eyes and only heard his screams."

"Did she stop right after killing Li Chuan? Did she have no intention of killing you at all?"

Ruan Lanzhu bent his fingers and tapped the table intermittently, not knowing whether the Slit-Mouthed Woman could only kill one person at a time, or whether they had done something to save their lives.

The man who spoke shook his head. "We didn't dare to open our eyes after Li Chuan's voice stopped, but we only heard her footsteps leaving, and didn't hear her coming towards us."

"So what did you do last night? Did you violate any taboos?"

The lone wolf sitting outside asked, his voice a little hoarse.

"We just laid in bed and chatted, and didn't do anything."

Cheng Qianli scratched his head, "Did he say any taboo words?"

Ruan Lanzhu didn't say anything. Since they had been chatting all night, they had said a lot of words. Even if they really said something they shouldn't have, it would be difficult to infer what was going on.

After coming out of the restaurant, everyone went their separate ways to look for clues. Chen Jiao's team returned to the second floor, while the two lone wolves walked out of the hotel gate. However, they came back two minutes later. It seemed that they could only stay in the hotel this time.

Ruan Lanzhu and a few others sat down on the sofa in the lobby. Everyone was thinking about what happened last night. It was the first day they arrived, and everything was still shrouded in mystery.

"Tell me, is there any motive for her to kill someone?"

Ling Jiushi looked at Ruan Lanzhu's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Is it really a random killing, or are there any selection conditions?"

Ruan Lanzhu turned sideways and analyzed with him face to face, "The first person to die after entering the door lived in a room closest to the direction where the door god came out. Perhaps she adopted the principle of proximity!"

"and then?"

Ling Jiushi blinked and tilted his head to look at him.

"Then?"

Ruan Lanzhu couldn't help but pinch his cheek and said with a smile, "Then there's the clock on the wall!"

Ling Jiushi turned to look at the big clock on the wall in the middle of the stairs. He was so frightened that he jumped up from the sofa, "It's almost six o'clock!"

Several people looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the hour hand was about to be straight, the minute hand was almost pointing to 12, and the second hand was already at 3.

"Less than a minute left!"

Tan Zaozao and Cheng Qianli were extremely anxious, and although Guan Nanshan seemed calm, his heart was actually beating like thunder.

"wrong!"

Ling Jiushi frowned and looked at his watch.

"What's wrong?"

After hearing Ling Jiushi say that something was wrong, Li Dongyuan didn't react for a moment and looked at Ling Jiushi in confusion.

"The speed of time is wrong!"

Ruan Lanzhu explained, "Last night the bell rang six times, which means it was six o'clock, and it was midnight at that time. If the hour hand moves to the six position again, it will be either twelve o'clock noon or midnight in the evening."

At this time everyone understood and raised their hands to check the time. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, but the clock on the wall was four hours fast than normal time!

"Let's find a place to hide first!"

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang, and each sound hit everyone's heart heavily.

But before they could find a place to hide, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the second floor, followed by screams and the laughter of women.

"The door god is chasing us!"

"How to do?"

Ruan Lanzhu's eyes kept wandering around the lobby, and finally, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the clock.

"Go under the clock!"

As he spoke, Ruan Lanzhu grabbed Ling Jiushi's hand and ran towards the stairs. At this time, the people on the second floor had already escaped to the stairs. Seeing that they were about to collide with them, Ruan Lanzhu quickly ran to the other side of the Y-shaped staircase.

"Flip inside!"

Ruan Lanzhu turned around and growled. There was a platform between the two stairs. There were two pots of green plants on the platform. On the wall behind the green plants hung the inaccurate clock.

The seven people here quickly flipped onto the platform, and Chen Jiao and his partner also quickly flipped in from the other side, followed by the two lone wolves. In a moment, the small platform was crowded with people.
