This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

Silence descended upon the living room, the atmosphere as lifeless as stagnant water, each person wearing a different expression.

From Chen Fugui's description, the ghost story they told during the day had truly come to life.

This was even more terrifying than the series of events that had previously occurred; no one knew where the thing that had emerged from the story was hiding now.

No one died this time, but what about next time?

Whose turn would it be for the ghost story to descend upon next?

This randomness was often the most frightening, as anyone could become the first victim.

Moreover, they couldn't escape; the mist had trapped them in this villa.

Fear, despair, collapse, and other negative emotions took root and sprouted in everyone's hearts, emotions that made it almost impossible to breathe.

"I want to go home! I want to go home!"

Jiajia's mental state was genuinely deteriorating; she was no longer as refined as before, jumping up from the sofa and rushing towards the door.

She clawed at the cabinet blocking the door, wanting to open it directly and escape the villa, even if the mist outside was churning.

"Calm down!" Qiao Kang revealed a fierce expression for the first time, grabbing Jiajia and pulling her back to the sofa.

"If you open the door and the mist comes in, it won't just be you who dies; everyone will pay the price for your actions!"

Qiao Kang held Jiajia's shoulders, took a deep breath, and gradually softened his tone: "Although the ghost story has become real, at least none of us have been hurt."

"And who knows, maybe Yaoyao and the others were just too stressed and hallucinated? After all, we didn't see anything when we went up."

He didn't even believe his own words; Chen Fugui and his wife didn't seem like they were hallucinating.

"Wait until tomorrow; if the mist recedes tomorrow, I'll take you home immediately."

After some comforting, Jiajia stopped crying, but her mental state still didn't improve; she hugged a pillow, huddled at Lin Jue's feet, her eyes blank, muttering to herself.

If she suffered any more stimulation, this woman might really go crazy.

The group sat in the living room, no one daring to wander around.

The time displayed on the phone was five in the morning; on a summer mountain, this was the time of sunrise, but the villa was still pitch black, without a trace of light.

Yaoyao lay on Chen Fugui, crying herself to sleep; Qiao Kang paced back and forth in the living room, sighing from time to time; and Hepingge sat in the armchair as always, his eyes closed, it was impossible to tell if he was asleep.

Lin Jue leaned against the sofa back, resting; before long, he felt Jiajia move at his feet, standing up from the ground.

"Jiajia, where are you going?" Qiao Kang stopped and asked.

"To the bathroom," Jiajia's voice was hoarse, almost inaudible.

The continuous stimulation had exhausted her mind and seemed to have raised her fear threshold; she had been terrified before, but under these circumstances, she actually dared to go to the bathroom alone.

"I'll go with you; I'll just wait outside."

Qiao Kang followed her; the first-floor bathroom required walking through a short corridor past the living and dining rooms; he seemed to be acting out of kindness by choosing to accompany Jiajia.

Footsteps echoed through the villa as the two crossed the living room.

Lin Jue slightly opened his eyes, looking towards the two.

Upon reaching the entrance of the corridor, Qiao Kang pulled a chair from the dining room and sat down; Jiajia then walked into the corridor, and soon the sound of the bathroom door closing could be heard.

… …

Creak ~

Not long after, a slight sound came from the bathroom door, as if the person opening it was afraid of something.

Then, there was a long period of silence.

Thump!

Then, a heavy sound rang out, as if something heavy had fallen to the floor.

"What's going on?"

Yaoyao was instantly awakened, looking towards the direction of the sound.

The sound came from the bathroom.

"Jiajia? Jiajia! What's wrong?"

Qiao Kang, who was sitting at the entrance of the corridor, suddenly stood up and ran towards the bathroom.

[Scenario Five: The strange tale has descended into reality, and the first death has occurred in the villa. Your logical reasoning ability comes into play at this time, allowing you to deduce the specific cause of death...]

[The degree to which the deduced result matches the truth will directly affect the final scenario score. Please try to restore the cause of death as much as possible.]

Lin Jue listened to the prompt in his mind while following the others to the bathroom.

This script should be finished.

Upon arriving at the bathroom door, when they saw the scene before them, Qiao Kang and the others' expressions instantly turned extremely ugly; Yaoyao even screamed and threw herself into Chen Fugui's arms.

"What do we do? Jiajia is dead…"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ books ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Jiajia was lying flat on the floor at the bathroom door, her face twisted, her eyes wide open, her mouth wide open as well, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying before her death.

Hepingge was squatting beside her, performing CPR vigorously, but the result was obvious; it was useless.

"She's really dead," he sighed and sat aside.

"She was just going to the bathroom… Why did she suddenly die…" Qiao Kang muttered, his face filled with disbelief: "I was clearly guarding the door; I didn't hear anything unusual, nor did I see anything, so why…"

Lin Jue pushed through the crowd, walked to the front, and squatted beside Jiajia's body, reaching out and poking her gradually cooling skin.

What was he doing?

Everyone looked at him strangely; was Li Ge so brave? He actually dared to approach the corpse.

"She was scared to death. Excessive fear had already made her mind unable to bear it. When she went to the bathroom, she saw that thing again. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back. She couldn't bear it anymore, and her heart stopped suddenly."

"Perhaps she also had heart problems; fear caused her condition to worsen instantly."

Lin Jue stood up and walked into the bathroom.

There was still undried grey water in the bathroom sink, probably because Jiajia had washed her face here earlier, wanting to wash off her ruined makeup.

"But I didn't see anything; I was so close to her; if she could see it, I definitely could too."

Qiao Kang said, seemingly realizing something: "Could that thing be hiding in the bathroom? Could it be in the mirror? When Jiajia went to the bathroom, she saw that thing in the mirror, so she was scared to death."

"Thinking about it that way, Chen Fugui and his wife also encountered that thing coming out of the bathroom."

"That thing hides in the mirror and appears when people are alone, but once there are more of us, it will return to the mirror, which is why we haven't been able to find it."

What he said was logical, and Chen Fugui and his wife moved away from the bathroom mirror, afraid of seeing something they shouldn't see.

Lin Jue didn't respond but looked at the bathroom window on his own.

The bathroom window was tightly closed and locked from the inside, completely eliminating the possibility that the thing came in from the outside.

"No, you're wrong," he finally turned his head, looking towards the short corridor outside the bathroom, his gaze sweeping over everyone standing in the corridor.

"That thing was just in the corridor."

"Moreover, it's not hiding in the mirror, but hiding among us."
