112 Sacrifice Corridor 26 || Deadly Illusion 3
Xiao Zhu didn't understand the situation yet, but he noticed that the expressions of the two people in front of him were not right.
All the signs that suddenly appeared in the room told him that Zhao Qifan was probably in great danger, and he was lucky enough to survive.
Until he looked at the photo, it was as if he died again with a snap.
Zhao Qifan's body was not in the room, so there was no way to take it away for cremation. Xiao Zhu took a piece of his clothes and said it would be a token of his appreciation, as at least he could be buried in peace.
"Without soil and without burial, they will just throw the ashes to feed the fish." Zhou Xia said sarcastically.
Xiao Zhu's face turned pale and red, and he stood there stiffly. "Be careful, one day you die and there's no one to collect your body. You'll just be a wandering ghost."
"I'm not afraid. It's not that easy to enter a fantasy world." Zhou Xia spread his hands. "Besides, if I die, I'll just die. It's my bad luck. You can just throw my body anywhere. I don't care."
Xiao Zhu was so angry that he turned around. He didn't have the old man's experience nor the man in front of him who was ruthless, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
Tian Yiyi stood there with her back turned, fascinated by the fire in front of her. Her thoughts drifted back to the first time they met. She was once as warm, bright and passionate as this flame.
No one went to disturb them, as they all knew one thing: the person was gone, and the living had to continue their lives.
Just when everyone thought Tian Yiyi was going to be sad for a while, she came to her senses, looked calm, and took the initiative to join the discussion.
"I slept very soundly last night. I have no idea when she woke up or what happened during that time." Tian Yiyi spoke, sticking to the facts. "Since the window in my room was open and there was scented oil in her nose, I can probably guess what happened and why she opened the door and went out."
"We all slept very soundly last night," said Lin Haichen.
"I feel like it was intentional. The chosen person woke up in the middle of the night, and the others were forced into a deep sleep. You see, if Tian Yiyi woke up before Xu Yaoyu opened the door, she would definitely have stopped it." Ye Jing'an raised his eyes and looked at Lin Haichen.
"It turns out that illusions are becoming more and more difficult and deceptive. Before, they would just call and trick you into opening the door, which was easy to detect. Now, you enter the illusion without knowing it while you are asleep. It is difficult for human senses to control themselves. Even if you know you are in an illusion, you have to do as the game arranges," said Yan Shuang.
"Then what should we do? Once we go in, we can only wait for death." Ye Jingan asked, unwilling to use his brain.
"What if you encounter the same situation tonight?" Wu Yaqi stared at Yan Shuang with a scrutinizing look. She firmly believed in the house-guarding talisman in her hand. She asked this just to see if the others had any good ideas, just in case.
Yan Shuang didn't mind her gaze and said solemnly, "There is still a way out. Zhao Qifan's way out is to blow out the candles, and the illusion will disappear. Xu Yaoyu's situation is a bit more difficult. She needs to knock herself unconscious, which can also be solved easily."
"Both of the two people who entered the illusion attempted this, but failed for some reason."
"Does this mean that even if we find a way out, we may not be able to get out?" Xiao Zhu asked.
Yan Shuang lowered her eyes and hummed.
"Why don't I just faint before going to bed? I don't care what kind of illusion it is, I can't wake up and I don't feel anything. Or Dr. Lin and I can tie each other with a rope before going to bed at night, so that he can sense any movement I make." If he didn't have so many tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn't be Ye Jing'an.
The unfortunate kid had blind trust in his teammates.
Lin Haichen looked at him seriously for a moment, "I don't recommend fainting. You're taking a gamble. You'll completely lose your ability to move. It all depends on your mood. If you're lucky, you might be able to survive, but being pulled into this illusion probably isn't much luck either."
"The second one is still worth a try, but I don't think it will have much effect. You said before that the game can force people into a deep sleep. How could it allow such a big loophole to exist?"
Ye Jing'an pursed his lips, completely discouraged.
"I think the mechanism of being pulled into the illusion is more important." Jing Ning said lightly.
Tian Yiyi looked up at him, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she fell into deep thought.
Jing Ning turned his head to Xiao Zhu and continued, "Is Zhao Qifan afraid of that photo?"
Xiao Zhu nodded quickly. "From the moment we entered the room, Zhao Qifan said that the photo was scary. I asked him why, but he couldn't explain it. Influenced by him, I also felt that the photo was... How can I describe it?" Xiao Zhu anxiously pulled his hair with his hands.
"Don't worry, take your time to think about it." Jing Ning looked at him.
"It's just that the sixth sense makes people feel uncomfortable, you know."
Jing Ning hummed, and said in a casual tone, "You continue."
"Zhao Qifan would nag me every day, but there was nothing I could do because we couldn't change rooms. After seeing accidents in other rooms and ours being safe, I stopped being so scared. But now that Zhao Qifan is in the photo, that feeling has started all over again."
Xiao Zhu rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to end up like him tonight, am I?"
He did not answer Xiao Zhu's question, but turned his gaze to Tian Yiyi.
"Xiaoyu doesn't like this room. She hates pungent smells, or rather, she's afraid of them. I remember she once told me that when she was little, before her family even knew she had asthma, her sister gave her a bottle of perfume for her birthday. If it hadn't been discovered earlier, she would have died from an asthma attack. Ever since then, she's been extremely sensitive to the smell of perfume."
"From all indications, it seems that the mechanism that led to entering the illusion last night was the thing that we fear most in our hearts." Lin Haichen took over.
Jing Ning: "It wasn't last night, it should have been the night before yesterday. The death conditions began to escalate."
"You mean Wu Yushan also saw the illusion?" Wu Yaqi asked hurriedly.
"On the first night, the two people were simply scared out by the ghost in the room, triggering the death mechanism. On the second night, the ghost called Xiaoshuang's room, but was discovered and dodged. On the third night, I think the call was also made in Wu Yushan's room, but she already knew that she couldn't answer the call, but she still went out, which means she saw other things." Lin Hai thought deeply and summarized quickly.
"Wu Yushan is afraid of breaking off relations with me." Wu Yaqi said to herself.
"That's a very difficult thing to do," Yan Shuang continued. "Everyone has something they fear in their heart. To say they have no desires is bullshit. Even saints have selfish motives. Games exploit emotional weaknesses to launch precise attacks. Few people can withstand it."
