The girl in the school uniform pants was no longer crying. "My name is Li Jiaoyang."
The man, who had his arms crossed, said, "Qi Yin, five times."
The other two new recruits are Huang Shanhe, the man working overtime, and Chen Shu, the man with glasses.
A young girl in sportswear replied, "My name is Xu Jialu, I'm 23 years old, and this is my second time playing the game."
After she finished her introduction, the other five people, including Shi Jinzhe, remained silent.
Sherman remained as kind as ever, showing no anger whatsoever. Everyone has their own choices, and she was merely offering her opinion.
As the sun was setting, some people were the first to enter the two-story building, a newly built house that was better than any other house in the village.
Even after putting on those slippers, Shekh still wasn't used to walking on his legs.
Cats have cat trees, snakes have tree branches. Shi Dutifully serves as a human-shaped tree branch that she can lean on, while observing the yard.
The building is not oriented north-south as is common. A large patch of moss has grown on the brick walls in the courtyard, indicating that it is a newly built house, but it was built at least 3 or 4 years ago.
The walls inside the building are painted white and there are no scratches or marks, so it seems that few people live here.
The village was dilapidated, and the roads were all dirt roads, but they were able to build such a house. I wonder how much this charitable cause has to do with it.
As Sher was taming her legs, she suddenly felt a lewd gaze lingering on her calves. She looked directly back at the spying gaze.
The man in the baseball cap was spying on her. He was startled and felt a sense of dread, as if he was about to be sucked into an endless vortex.
He quickly looked away, turned and left without daring to look again.
Shekh stared at the figure in the baseball cap's back. Shi Jinzhe was right; not everyone deserved to see her snake tail.
Even though the snake's tail is currently just like a leg, that won't do.
Once Sheh withdrew his oppressive aura, Shi Jinzhe suggested, "How about I carry you on my back?"
If we don't go into this house soon, everyone else will have already searched it all.
This house is the first mission location, and it must contain crucial clues. He's unwilling to cooperate because he's afraid of being used and then discarded, but that doesn't mean he's not in a hurry to find clues.
Shekh reached out his hand and, considering that what he said was true, agreed to let him continue carrying him.
Shi Jinzhe led her into the small building that had been painted white.
The nights in the mountains are cool, and with the rain after a cloudy day, the house is damp, making it feel cold and damp.
The first floor was very spacious. After walking around for a while, I found that the furniture was made of rattan or wood, and there was a very obvious woody smell. They were all newly made.
He carried Shekh to the top of the stairs, where a burly man came down the stairs.
Seeing him and Shekh like this, the burly man gave Shi Jinzhe a thumbs up and said, "Dude, you're awesome."
To take a girlfriend who is blind, lame, and possibly deaf and mute through a dungeon is either a sign of ignorance or the work of a gaming pro.
Shi Jinzhe remained silent for a few seconds. He was not good at anything else, but he was very sensitive to other people's emotions and was particularly good at understanding the unspoken meanings behind their words.
He wanted to argue, but found it difficult to speak. In the end, he thought about it and said nothing.
Fortunately, the burly man didn't say much, and they walked past each other into the courtyard.
On the second floor, the atmosphere among the few people standing in the corridor was somewhat tense.
Shi Jinzhe ignored them and asked, "Which empty room is still unoccupied?"
Sherman pointed to the first room on the left, which had six rooms, three on each side.
Shi Jinzhe nodded his thanks and, as he walked through the corridor, he understood the point of their standoff.
Some people don't want to share a room with a newcomer, while others who do want to don't want to share a room with someone of the opposite sex.
Wearing sportswear, Xu Jialu clung to Xie Man, refusing to let go. She didn't want to share a room with Qi Yin, nor with Li Jiaoyang, who was still a high school student.
Seeing Shi Jinzhe passing by, she turned her gaze to Shehe, her mind racing with calculations.
Unlike the impetuousness of new players, he has a lot of presence despite his limited mobility, and who knows, he might have some life-saving items or powerful skills.
Even if there isn't any danger, given her personality, if we really encounter danger, all I need to do is run faster than her.
Thinking of this, Xu Jialu smiled and said, "Sir, I studied nursing. I'm meticulous, and there are bound to be things you can't take care of in the game. How about I share with your girlfriend..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shi Jinzhe had already entered the first room on the left, and then closed the door, blocking Xu Jialu's view from outside.
What are you daydreaming about? His life depends entirely on Shekh.
Inside the room, Shi Jinzhe loosened his grip on Shehe's hand, which he had been holding the whole way, and let Shehe move around on his own.
He shook his slightly stiff wrist. The last time he held a woman's hand like this was when he gave her his blessings on Grandma Cheng's 80th birthday.
The dark serpent's tail reappeared, and Shekh began to move around in the room. The room was dark, with no windows, only a sliver of light from the corridor emanating from the glass window above the door.
Her eyesight was excellent. She touched the wall with her fingers and found a small switch at the doorway. Curious, she pressed it, and the room lit up.
The moment the light comes on, I immediately close my eyes; if I can't see it, I won't be afraid.
Shekh pressed the button again, and the room went dark. She played with it for a while, and the room flickered between light and shadow.
The people outside in the corridor saw the lights flickering inside the house through the glass, and their hearts tightened. A remote mountain village, a desolate little building, a cold, murky light...
The first room on the left was avoided by everyone because it had no windows; people imagined the house would be cold and gloomy as soon as they entered…
Survival games are inherently nerve-wracking, and players are extremely sensitive to any disturbance. Some might wonder if there's something wrong here.
Sherman also had her doubts. The house was so new, and she had looked at every room. It didn't seem like there was anything unusual about it.
Could this puzzle-solving dungeon contain other types of elements? Considering how unethical the game is, she thought it might be hard to say...
Those outside would never guess that the people inside were having such a blast playing a life-or-death game in front of a lamp.
Inside the room, Shekh had finished playing, turned off the lights, and then opened the bathroom door.
The interior wasn't large, and it also had no windows. The small square tiles on the walls were cold, and a plastic curtain separated the showerhead and the sink.
She looked around and fixed her gaze on the half-length mirror on the wall, where a figure wearing a purple velvet dress was reflected.
Shekh reached out and gently tapped the mirror. The mirror image made the same gesture, their fingertips touching, making it look as if they were touching each other.
In the cold, dark, and cramped space, she calmly examined the half-length mirror.
A moment later, her upper body slowly leaned forward, her movements somewhat strange. The powerful core force brought by the snake tail made her seem to fall straight down.
When he got closer, Sheikh slowly turned up the corners of his mouth and smiled in front of the mirror.
...
Thump, thump, thump.
A knock came at the door.
Xie Man's voice came from outside the door, "Shao Dong is back. Are you going down for dinner?"
She had her own ideas. Although Shi Jinzhe had no intention of cooperating with anyone, the fact that this couple, especially the woman with her special physical condition and physical burden, could remain so calm showed that they were quite capable.
There was no response from inside the room. Through the door, Sherman could vaguely hear a crawling rustling sound, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.
The door to the room was opened a hand's width, and Shi Jinzhe said through the door, "Thank you for reminding us. We'll go down in a bit."
"Ah... okay,"
Sherman didn't press the matter, but stopped as she turned to leave. "Have you noticed anything unusual in this bedroom, like any strange phenomena that most people can't understand?"
"No."
"…OK."
Before going downstairs, Sherman looked back at the room at the end of the way, her eyes filled with confusion.
"There might really be something wrong with this house."
