Chapter Ten: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada



Seeing that the atmosphere he had just created would vanish in an instant, Qiu Leng gritted his teeth and ran up to the second floor. He paused when he passed the blood-soaked box, then called Gu Yuan and Chen Tianbo up and opened a new wooden box in front of them.

Unexpectedly, this time there was a card at the bottom of the box.

"I really want to open it?"

Qiu Leng looked at the bizarre text card and couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

The information mentions that opening the wooden box will not only reveal the Box Girl, but also related items, including the Box Girl's skill card.

Box Girl's skill card?

Thinking of this, Qiu Leng cursed and immediately threw the card back into the wooden box.

"What is that?"

Chen Tianbo stood far away. Although he had been acting strangely from the beginning, he would be the first to back down if things went wrong.

"I don't know the specific uses of the Box Girl's skill card, but it's definitely not good for us."

Qiu Leng wished he could chop off his own hand. Who told him to act so recklessly in a moment of anger? Now he felt like he was covered in bad luck, as if he could already imagine how he was going to die.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Gu Yuan stammered that he wanted to go back to the hall to sleep for a while, and that it would be better to wait until they had rested before discussing opening the box. No one objected.

16:01.

A piercing scream rang out from downstairs, waking Qiu Leng from his dream.

He jolted awake, almost trembling, and sat up from the carpet, opening his eyes to meet Chen Tianbo's gaze.

"Hiccup—you're awake?"

This guy always had a bottle of water with him. Qiu Leng couldn't remember when he had fallen asleep. Chen Tianbo was sitting in a mess, looking sleepy, and burped: "That coward asked for it and went upstairs to open the box."

The screams continued, and Qiu Leng could even hear the sounds of bones breaking mixed in with the screams.

"Help! Help! My bones... Help me! Qiu Leng! Chen Tianbo! Please save me!"

"How did he get the guts to do such a thing? Why didn't you stop him?"

This statement contained so much information that Qiu Leng initially thought he had misheard it.

“Because I opened a few too.” Chen Tianbo took a sip of water and put the bottle down with satisfaction. “Don’t think about saving him. The card you opened is the Box Girl’s active skill. Its effect is to designate a player to open the box she is hiding and turn him into a Box Man.”

“You…” As the wailing gradually subsided, Qiu Leng noticed that there were several written cards next to Chen Tianbo.

"You've been pretending all along?"

“Yes.” He smiled, his face full of sarcasm: “I am a hidden taboo body just like you.”
