And like the previous game, this game also features traps.
You could easily get scammed.
Seeing Bai Xueer hesitate in front of the box containing the severed finger, Xia Linyin reminded her, "The severed finger, the power bank, and the metal ball are all useless."
If she hadn't observed more closely, given her fear of ghosts from the previous game, she probably would have chosen to cut off her finger as well.
Moreover, this cannibal is clearly much more powerful than the ghost on the bus. The ghost on the bus could only possess the ceramic doll to harm people, while the hideous cannibal in the box could kill people directly.
The intangible is always more frightening than the tangible.
The truth is that the three boxes containing the cannibal, the witch, and the hell lord cannot reach the elevator, and choosing to cut off your finger would be a waste of an opportunity.
The python's items have already been taken by other players, leaving five items to choose from: a straw doll, a silver cross, a power bank, a music box, and a diary.
Time was of the essence, and there was no time for them to think things through. Xia Linyin glanced around the box and then grabbed the silver cross pendant.
The werewolf was the fourth monster to appear. The werewolf in the box was tall and strong, and you could tell from its well-developed thigh muscles that the werewolf must be extremely fast!
Moreover, werewolves must have an exceptionally keen sense of smell. Once caught by a werewolf, her small body would be torn to shreds in an instant by its sharp claws.
Let's choose this one! Each player can only take one item, so it'll all depend on luck.
The man chose the music box that befriended the faceless ballerina.
Xia Linyin and the man quickly selected their items, while Bai Xue'er was still troubled by Xia Linyin's earlier statement, asking suspiciously, "Xia Linyin, why is a severed finger useless? What do you mean by that?"
But seeing that Xia Linyin and the man had finished choosing their things and were about to leave, Bai Xue'er panicked, "Hey! Wait for me!"
Bai Xue'er initially thought Xia Linyin wanted to cut off her finger and that's why she said that on purpose. But seeing that Xia Linyin took other items, Bai Xue'er decided to trust Xia Linyin for now, since she didn't really dare to take that bloody severed finger anyway.
Bai Xueer grabbed her diary and hurriedly chased after them. The brutal zombies in the movie had left her with a lot of psychological trauma, and she didn't want to face these ghostly things.
"Shouldn't we be heading out? Why are we going back?" Bai Xue'er asked in confusion, noticing that they were going the wrong way.
Xia Linyin turned to look at her, "It's too late."
What do you mean? If there's no time to lose, you should run outside!
Despite her complaints, Bai Xue'er dared not leave Xia Linyin and the man alone, so she could only desperately follow behind them.
The man arrived at a silver-white stainless steel door, took a key out of his pocket, and opened the door.
Xia Linyin looked at the door. Good heavens, this door was much sturdier than the iron door of the room they were in. The thickness of the door alone was a finger's length.
The iron door to their room was rusty and very old, while this door was clean and brand new, reflecting light like the door of a high-end safe.
This is a laboratory, with rows of cold shelves displaying glass jars containing various organs preserved in formalin, and the air is filled with a pungent smell.
Upon first seeing the eyeballs, ears, and severed arms floating in the liquid, Bai Xue'er couldn't help but scream in fright. After being given a nonchalant glance by the man, she tightly covered her mouth.
Xia Linyin was also disgusted. She looked away from the swollen, white organs and at the ground, where a trail of blood was dripping.
She followed the trail of blood and found a bloodstained scalpel on the lab table; the blood was still fresh.
Xia Linyin gasped, looking at the man's blindfold. "You—"
The man raised his hand to wipe away the blood flowing from his eye socket and said calmly, "The key is behind my eye."
Xia Linyin couldn't help but frown. The way she and Bai Xueer escaped the room was by cutting off their own hands, while the man escaped by gouging out his eyes. Only by getting the key behind the eyes could he open the door.
Damn it! This game is absolutely inhumane and a total rip-off!
Gouging out one's own eyes is just too cruel! It's definitely more agonizing than having a hand cut off!
I really hope the person behind this game just explodes on the spot!
The man extended his long, slender fingers and gently smoothed Xia Linyin's furrowed brows, smiling as he said, "It doesn't hurt."
Xia Linyin was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly dodged the man's hand, her doubts growing deeper. "Why didn't you run away immediately after you opened the door?"
After opening the door, the man did not run away immediately, but instead found her and Bai Xueer's room and rescued them.
In the previous game, the man also saved her time and time again. Why did he do that?
"Come here, and I'll tell you." The man chuckled softly, a smile so alluring it seemed to eclipse the very heavens and earth.
Xia Linyin swallowed nervously and moved closer to the man.
The man bent down and whispered in Xia Linyin's ear, "Li Luo, that's my name."
His voice was deep and resonant, like a glass of fine red wine, making one feel intoxicated.
Xia Linyin's ears felt slightly itchy from the man's breath, and she couldn't help but twitch, which elicited a soft laugh from Li Luo.
How could there be such a beautiful voice in the world? Xia Linyin felt like her ears were about to get pregnant, but the other person had not yet answered her question.
Just as Xia Linyin was about to speak, a loud "bang" rang out!
Something was pounding heavily on the laboratory door from outside, and the door was bulging from the violent impact.
The bottles and jars on the shelf also shook and rattled due to the violent impact outside the door.
A glass jar fell from the shelf and shattered into pieces, spilling its contents—organs and liquids—all over the floor, making the air smell even more pungent.
Looking at the door, which was dented and deformed from the impact, Xia Linyin couldn't help but ask Li Luo, "Won't this door be forced open?"
"This chainsaw was placed next to the lab door, probably to prove to me that the door can only be opened with a key."
Hearing Li Luo say this, Xia Linyin finally felt relieved.
After a dozen or so violent thuds, the thing outside finally stopped hitting the door.
The bottles and jars on the iron racks also fell silent, and the only sound in the laboratory was the sound of breathing.
After a while, Bai Xue'er slowly crawled out from under the table. "Did...did they leave?"
The python that had just rammed the door must have been the one as thick as a bucket. Hearing that there was no more movement outside the door, Xia Linyin thought that the python should have left, but Li Luo raised her hand and said, "It's still here."
