"Can you please be quiet?"
Princess Cut was already scared when she entered the dungeon, and now hearing this urgent scratching sound made her even more terrified.
Human skin is soft; how much force would it take to scratch it and make that sound? Wouldn't it bleed from scratching?
"Stop scratching! Stop scratching!"
Luo Rui ignored her cries, his eyes were red from scratching, and he couldn't hear anything.
He felt so itchy, as if something was about to burst through his skin and grow out, and he had to press it down.
In Luo Rui's mind, a voice kept saying, "Harder, harder." Gradually, pain replaced the itching. Luo Rui gasped for breath, his nails digging into his flesh, and his hands gradually moved to his face...
Princess Cut couldn't wake him, so she simply covered herself with the blanket and curled up to look at the shop. She only had a single-digit number of points and couldn't afford a yellow talisman. In the end, she stingily spent four points to choose a rusty dagger. The damage wasn't high, but if it triggered the tetanus effect, it would still be of some use.
Gripping the tetanus knife tightly, she pressed herself against the blanket, forcing herself not to think too much, while simultaneously planning that she would have to change teammates tomorrow.
Actually, she had her eye on several players today. They were calm and composed, and seemed very skilled. Unfortunately, they found their teammates very quickly, so she was too embarrassed to recommend herself.
"There's a guy in a navy blue suit who seems pretty impressive. I'll go ask him about it tomorrow."
She had observed that none of the teammates the guy had chosen were as good-looking as her. The reason why Luo Rui was willing to actively seek her out after clearing the game six times was because she was pretty.
Maybe if I try harder, I can get a better one. Then I can get a better teammate and make this guy who looks down on me furious.
Thinking this, Princess Cut slowly closed her eyes.
Scratch and scratch until she's scratched herself to death, so she can both pick up items and switch teammates in a logical way.
Through the blanket, she didn't hear Luo Rui's barely audible words: "...Help me."
After one night.
Players resting inside the building got up early and immediately searched the building for any rooms that had been disturbed as soon as it was light.
Lin Xian didn't sleep all night because she couldn't stretch her legs out on the sofa, and lying down made her feel a sense of constraint, as if her soul was being bound.
Liang Fengzhi had dark circles under her eyes and hadn't slept all night. As a newcomer, she was surrounded by a strange man and a bizarre game that could kill her at any moment. She couldn't rest easy because of either of these things.
After washing her face, she decided to go to A503 to find Sher and Shi Jinzhe.
Although it might seem like she's bothering others, she can't help but seek a sense of security by getting close to people she knows in this situation.
Liang Fengzhi sighed deeply, even though they hadn't known each other for more than a few minutes.
But intuition is mysterious; she felt a special sense of security when she looked at Shekh.
Lin Xian opened the door and went first. Before he could even step out, he heard two people coming from the other end of the corridor, saying as they walked, "They died a horrible death. I didn't dare to look too long."
"We arrived too late. All the useful props had already been taken. We don't even know who was the first to find them."
Lin Xian was taken aback: "Who died?"
It was so sudden. He didn't sleep a wink last night and didn't notice anything unusual.
The man in the navy blue suit stopped. "A703, a man and a woman, both dead."
"The body is still inside the house, you can go see it." The woman with a nose piercing tilted her head and pointed to A503. "It's the one who was fawning over these two people in this house yesterday, and there's another woman, the one with hair down to her chin in the front." She raised her arm to gesture, and the loose sleeve fell down to reveal a colorful arm covered in tattoos. She added, "They're quite pretty, but those two are all looks and no substance."
Lin Xian didn't go downstairs at that time, but from her description, she could roughly make up the name. "Thanks, I know who it is."
"It's nothing, no need to be polite." The woman with the tattooed arm wasn't in a hurry to leave, but instead asked Lin Xian and Liang Fengzhi, "Are you familiar with the advanced players in A503?"
"Not familiar with it."
Liang Fengzhi answered quickly, using the game information Lin Xian had told her yesterday as a starting point: "I've only heard about them on the forum. Yesterday, I just shamelessly approached them and they didn't kick us out."
"Oh~ It's okay if we're not familiar with each other. Shall we be friends? My name is Gao Fei, and this is my teammate, Sheng Yan."
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Liang Fengzhi shook hands with her, but quickly withdrew her hand after a brief touch. After introducing herself, she turned and went back into the house without waiting for Gao Fei's response.
The door closed in front of Gao Fei, and she asked with a smile, "Do I look too fierce?"
“She probably doesn’t trust you at all.” Shi Yan walked up to the fourth floor. “Let’s go. She won’t go looking for those two people while you’re here.”
"Okay, fine."
Gao Fei put on a troubled expression, "They're all newcomers, but their minds aren't exactly new. It's hard to get information out of them."
Shi Yan: "If she were really a stupid newbie, according to her, even if she shamelessly stuck to him, she would still get yelled at and kicked out like those two on the seventh floor. She wasn't yelled at, which means she has something to offer in the eyes of advanced players. Isn't that why you chose me as your teammate? You must have seen some of my strengths."
“That makes sense.” Gao Fei stopped worrying about it and went up to the fourth floor with Shi Yan.
Less than two minutes after she left, the door to room A503 opened.
Shi Jinzhe crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame. "Gao Fei must be a high-level player. I wonder what his purpose is in wanting to get to know us."
"Whether we become friends or enemies, we'll see in the future." Shekh was still sitting on the sofa, his long tail sticking out of the door, the tip of which stood up. He knocked on the door of A505, then vanished.
Shi Jinzhe called out, "Sister Liang, would you mind coming out for a moment?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opposite opened directly. Liang Fengzhi was slightly embarrassed. "Actually, I've been listening to the sound from behind the door."
Shi Jinzhe cut to the chase: "Are you going to the seventh floor?"
"Yes, yes, I want to go."
"Let's go together then." He glanced back at Shekh, who was knocking on the door with her big tail. She really liked this snake keeper.
However, it wouldn't be bad to have Sister Liang act as a shield to spread some false information about the two of them, Shi Jinzhe thought to himself.
The four people went up to the seventh floor. The door to room A703 was wide open. The lock was not broken, but the door panel was deformed, indicating that it had been forcibly broken open.
There were other players inside, and as usual, they checked their own things when they saw them coming over.
The bloodstains on the floor were still wet, with bits of meat floating on them. Two people were lying on the bed, and the blood had stained the entire bed red.
One of them had her head and body separated, with a short front and long back hairstyle that looked like yesterday's princess cut. Her head was placed next to her hip bone, and her two hands were broken, with her arms raised high above her head in a very strange posture.
Beside her was a male corpse, Rory. His body was well-preserved, but his eyeballs and skin were gone, and his flesh was stuck together in pieces, making it difficult to tell that he was a person.
Both men had these thread-like wounds on their bodies, but Rory's were more severe. Blood splattered on the ceiling, and for a moment, the group couldn't tell who had died more gruesomely.
Lin Xian subconsciously thought of how to make dried beef and said directly, "Just these shreds, don't they look like beef shreds without chili oil?"
Liang Fengzhi gagged, then heard Shehe say, "Like being used as a cooking utensils..."
When faced with a knowledge gap, she was momentarily stumped, unable to articulate what she was trying to say.
Having never cooked before, she didn't know what the dish was called, so she could only describe it to Shi Jinzhe as, "It's the kind of shredded radish, cut very evenly."
Shi Jinzhe: "Slicer".
"Yes, that's the one."
The two people on the bed looked as if they had been shredded from head to toe with a large shredder; their deaths were gruesome.
