Although she couldn't see around her, she kept an eye out for footsteps. Following Sui Feng's pace, it would take about 6 seconds to reach the other corner.
Just now, Xiao Jin noticed that Sui Feng's footsteps disappeared less than 3 seconds after he left, and it took more than half an hour for them to reappear.
Then, as if she had just realized something, Xiao Jin quickly glanced at the panel and saw that the time displayed was a little past its prime.
The Four Corners game shouldn't have taken that long. Roughly calculating, I was probably also entangled by the vengeful ghost for more than twenty minutes back then. No wonder the middle-aged player was so scared!
Fortunately, in the end, everything turned out alright, and the game ended smoothly.
When the last lap ended, Xiao Jin and the other two simultaneously received a system notification.
[Ding—'Four Corners Game': Five rounds completed (Completed)]
Just as the notification arrived, the door to the room opened with a 'click,' and the three of them quickly went out and stood under the light again.
The warm yellow light dispelled the eerie atmosphere emanating from Xiao Jin and the others.
Sui Ying sighed, "Phew~ It's finally over. You have no idea how nervous I was inside. I was so worried when you two disappeared."
Xiao Jin and Sui Feng had taken too long, but due to the rules, Sui Ying could only stand aside and wait, feeling extremely anxious.
Fortunately, both of them eventually overcame the difficulties.
"That's the guy, what a pity!"
"Alright, stop being so sentimental. You have no idea what I've been through!" Sui Feng said with a dark face.
Sui Ying and Xiao Jin looked in that direction.
"Pfft~ cough cough!"
Upon seeing his appearance, Sui Ying covered her mouth and smiled.
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow, her gaze lingering on his chest for a moment.
The expressions on their faces made Sui Feng feel a little embarrassed!
He awkwardly adjusted his shirt, then simply took out a new outfit from his backpack and put it on.
Sui Ying teased, "Brother! You're quite the ladies' man!"
"Go away!" Sui Feng replied irritably, "Do you want this good fortune?! My heart almost got ripped out!"
"Speaking of which, this female ghost is quite powerful. I used all my tools, but in the end, I still couldn't kill her."
Xiao Jin frowned, thinking carefully, and realized that her strike should not have missed!
…………
After coming out, Xiao Jin and the other two planned to go back to their bedroom on the second floor to prepare for their solo game at 2 o'clock.
Meanwhile, on the third floor, there was no one else in the corridor except for Xiao Jin and the others. They had assumed that the butler would be waiting at the door for the players to finish the game.
The doors to the other two rooms were opening and closing, clearly indicating that one group had finished the game and left, while the other group was still inside continuing.
After going downstairs, Xiao Jin paused as she reached the corner.
The Sui siblings behind her were initially puzzled, but then they seemed to sense something, and they both drew their weapons and looked downstairs warily.
"This is... the smell of blood!" Sui Feng asked with a grave expression.
Xiao Jin hummed in agreement: "It's very strong; there were definitely more than one dead."
Sui Ying, carrying a large sledgehammer, tilted her head and looked at Xiao Jin: "Could it be..."
Although she didn't finish her sentence, the two of them basically understood what she meant.
Xiao Jin's expression remained unchanged: "You'll find out soon enough."
As soon as they stepped into the corridor, a strong stench of blood, like an invisible giant wave, suddenly rushed towards them, almost suffocating the three of them.
Sui Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and the world before him seemed to be covered by a blood-red filter, every scene revealing a heart-stopping tragedy.
Bright red blood flowed freely on the walls, forming horrifying streaks. Severed limbs and remains were scattered all over the floor, appearing particularly gruesome in the dim light, and large patches of blood had almost completely soaked the carpet.
The three men gripped their weapons tightly, exchanged a glance, and without a word, tacitly dispersed to form a fan-shaped perimeter, while avoiding the corpses on the ground and slowly advancing forward.
As Xiao Jin passed by the spacious room, she glanced over.
Because there were no lights, the room was completely dark, but Xiao Jin could clearly see large signs of a struggle inside, with furniture either overturned or broken.
Amidst the glaring red, Xiao Jin even spotted several familiar faces inside—players she had met briefly in the living room before.
At this moment, the person lay quietly in a pool of blood, face contorted, all the internal organs in the abdomen gone, ribs exposed, eyes filled with fear and pain.
After making their way around, Xiao Jin and the others basically had a clear understanding of the situation.
After counting, a total of 5 people died, which happened to be the players who didn't go to the third floor to participate in the game.
The villa owner was really anxious, not even letting them get a good night's sleep. It seems that while they were playing the game, these five players were also attacked by a vengeful ghost.
Knowing there was no danger, the group put their weapons away.
Sui Ying sighed with emotion: "If these people had participated in the game, they would have had a very high chance of surviving. I really don't know why they are so afraid!"
"You can't buy hindsight with a thousand pieces of gold. Since they've made this choice, they have to bear the corresponding risks!" Sui Feng clicked his tongue lightly. "Not everyone can remain calm in the face of danger."
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and get ready!"
"Um!"
Xiao Jin had already reached the end of the corridor. After nodding goodbye to Sui Feng, she stood in front of her room but did not immediately push the door open and go inside.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Xiao Jin suddenly turned around.
At the top of the stairs, the butler stood there in a black tailcoat stained with blood. When he saw Xiao Jin looking over, he not only did not avoid her, but smiled slightly at her instead.
Xiao Jin's gaze was icy, and she returned to the house without saying a word. But before leaving, her gaze inadvertently swept over Yun Ye's tightly closed door.
Back inside, Xiao Jin suddenly thought of a question: what would happen if a player participating in two games at the same time had not completed the Four Corners game by 2 PM?
Actually, there was no need to think too much; the moment Xiao Jin saw the housekeeper blocking the stairwell, she already knew!
…………
There are five minutes left until 2 o'clock.
Xiao Jin entered the bathroom ahead of time. She locked the door from the inside and turned to look at the bathroom counter. There, she noticed an unlit white candle and a box of matches next to it.
It seems that both the East and West villas are ready for the players!
The game 'Bloody Mary' isn't too difficult. All Xiao Jin needs to do is close her eyes, stand in front of the mirror, silently recite the incantation three times, and make sure she doesn't open her eyes for five minutes.
These kinds of games often test a player's willpower.
Xiao Jin believed that she had a good willpower, so she wasn't worried at all!
