Can't exit?
Hearing this, you know there's something wrong with the game, but since the other party isn't forcing players to participate, what's the point of organizing this game?
You like crowds? Don't be ridiculous!
Therefore, someone asked, "Could you tell me what game it is?"
The butler did not answer.
"What are the rules of the game?"
The other party remained silent.
The player's lips twitched: "You can at least tell us when it starts, otherwise how are we supposed to participate?"
This time, the butler didn't play dumb: "Midnight!"
"Hiss~"
"this……"
"Forget it, this is too creepy!" A female player with long curly hair shook her head. "Anyway, I don't have to go. Tomorrow is the last day of the game, so I'll just stay put!"
The curly-haired female gamer's words resonated with many people.
We've all struggled to survive until now, and with the final push in sight, nobody wants to do anything unnecessary.
"I'm not going! I'm exhausted from searching for resource boxes all day, I'd rather go back to my room and sleep!"
Speaking of resource boxes, Xiao Jin suddenly blinked.
Oh right! Where's the resource box inside the villa? Did the first person to arrive take it?
Upon hearing the two players' words, the butler showed no anger on his face, but instead gracefully bowed.
"Okay, sweet dreams to you all."
The housekeeper then told Xiao Jin and the others that they could go back to their rooms now, and that anyone who wanted to participate in the game should gather in the living room on the first floor half an hour before nightfall.
At that time, he will come and announce the rules of the game.
After thinking about it, everyone agreed that this was a good idea. It was not yet 9 o'clock, and there were still several hours until midnight. This period of time was enough for them to decide whether or not to participate.
Then, the players went upstairs one by one.
Xiao Jin was the last to arrive at the villa, so her room was on the innermost side of the second floor.
The soft, dark carpet provided excellent soundproofing, making their footsteps barely audible. Xiao Jin and Sui Feng walked side by side, and soon arrived at their room.
"I live in 210, and my sister lives in 209. Something's not right with this villa. Be careful on your own. Contact me anytime if anything happens!" Sui Feng whispered to her.
"Okay! You two go ahead." Xiao Jin watched the two leave.
There were many people and eyes in the corridor, and since they had friends anyway, it was more private to chat privately if they wanted to say something.
"Snap!"
Pushing open the door, a musty smell hit her. Xiao Jin's hand groped along the wall, and soon she found the light switch.
But no matter how many times she pressed the buttons, the room remained pitch black.
Is it broken?
The darkness in the room did not deter Xiao Jin in the slightest. She traced the source of the problem by the light switch on the wall and then saw a half-broken wire lying in the corner.
Good heavens, donkey dung balls are shiny on the surface.
And this is how you entertain guests!
The lobby on the first floor looks luxurious and grand, but the second floor is completely unappealing.
Xiao Jin closed the door behind her and glanced around the room.
Fortunately, apart from being a bit dark, the inside was normal. There was a large bed, and the old-fashioned bedside lamp was also without a wire. The small open room next to it was the toilet.
Xiao Jin didn't rest rashly, but instead searched the room for suspicious items. Drawers, under the bed, bathtub, mirrors, wardrobe, chandelier—she checked everything she could think of.
The result was that there were no problems.
Having confirmed that the room was temporarily safe, Xiao Jin's tense body slowly relaxed, and then she walked to the window.
Outside is a spacious little garden. Looking out through the garden, beyond the high wall, a thick fog has risen, making it impossible to see anything in the fog.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin tugged at the curtains, intending to close them. But just as her hand touched the curtains, Xiao Jin's eyes sharpened, and her keen gaze suddenly shot towards a tall bush.
But there was nothing there.
No, that's not right. There was definitely something there just now. Although it was only for a moment, Xiao Jin could still see it very clearly. It was a little girl dressed in Lolita fashion.
The little girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with a pale face and a strange smile on her face. She was staring straight in the direction of the villa.
Xiao Jin looked around the garden thoughtfully. Could this be the master the butler had mentioned who liked to play games?
The little girl's figure appeared for only a moment before disappearing. Xiao Jin even stood by the window for a while because of this, so she wasn't sure if the little girl knew she had seen her.
Xiao Jin drew the curtains back and sat up on the bed.
She frowned slightly when she first sat down.
Oops~ I think I ate a bit too much tonight, ugh! My stomach's bloated!
After taking some digestive medicine, Xiao Jin lay lazily on the bed. Don't ask her why she wasn't moving; well, when you're full, you just don't want to move.
Upon opening the panel, Xiao Jin directly asked Sui Feng if he had seen anything outside the window.
After a while, Sui Feng sent a crying emoji.
[Sui Feng: Huh? Don't scare me, there's something outside?]
"Tch~" Xiao Jin shook his head. Sure enough, courage has nothing to do with body size.
Xiao Jin then told Sui Feng what she had seen, but there was no reply for a long time. About two minutes later, Sui Feng sent a photo with a caption.
[Sui Feng: I didn't see the little girl, but there was a rag doll in the closet in Xiaoying's room.]
Xiao Jin opened the photo. It must have been taken by Sui Ying; the shadow illuminated by the flashlight was her own. In the center of the photo, a rag doll was leaning against the wardrobe.
The glass eyes were hollow and eerie, and she wore a gorgeous little dress with red and black intertwined. Judging from her appearance, Xiao Jin had just seen a larger version of her!
This doll looks exactly like the girl who appeared in the small garden before.
Xiao Jin quickly sat up.
[Xiao Jin: Your sister won the lottery. Tell her to be careful.]
[Sui Feng: Huh?]
[Sui Feng: ...No way, this is so unlucky!]
[Sui Feng: Okay, thanks bro, I'll contact her right away!]
Xiao Jin closed the panel. Since he had already given a warning, how to resolve the issue was their business. As for why the two of them hadn't discussed the game, that was another matter.
It's very simple.
Neither of them were fools, and neither of them had ever believed in any windfall.
The system went to great lengths to dump this group of people in this godforsaken place, providing them with a large house, good food and drink, and even NPCs.
Only a fool would believe that you can sleep through the night just by eating a meal.
So, not only Xiao Jin, but also Sui Feng and his sister will definitely participate in tonight's game.
Of course, there will always be fools!
While Xiao Jin and his group were checking for potential hazards in the house, some players had already finished showering, changed into their pajamas, and gone to bed.
