As soon as the words fell, the living room fell silent. Everyone was shocked by these words. After a long while, Wen Qingqing timidly asked, "So this game is life-threatening?"
Rose's tone became compassionate. "I'm sorry, my dear little beauty, it's true. Death in the game is irreversible. If you die here, all traces of your existence in the real world will be erased."
Mu Tiao took a deep breath and looked at Liu Quan, and they saw fear in each other's eyes.
"You're not trying to scare us, are you?" Li Weiyan, a young man with a bold heart, said in disbelief, "How can you, a system like yours, wipe us out?"
Rose stopped talking.
Lan Shuang's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly felt something was wrong, so she warned, "Be careful!"
However, it was too late. The next moment, the crystal glass in front of Li Weiyan suddenly exploded without warning. The fragments flew past his face, leaving a shallow blood mark.
Blood flowed down the wound, and his face looked extremely terrifying. The other nine people suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
Rose said gently: "That's it~"
This time no one dared to question her. Li Weiyan covered her cheek with her hands, still feeling frightened.
"Since it's a game, we have to announce the rules of the game. How do we play? How do we escape and what are the conditions?" Lan Shuang asked first.
Rose said happily: "I will explain these to you clearly, you must remember them well."
"The place you are in now is the Rose Manor. Because the owner here loves roses, the garden is full of roses, hence the name Rose Manor."
Lan Shuang's eyes fell on the carpet. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she sees that the pattern on the carpet is a rose.
"The ten of you are the players of this game. You will live here for seven days. If you are still alive at midnight on the eighth day, the gates of Rose Manor will open. You will complete your mission once you leave."
Lan Shuang: "...So this is what escape means."
Still alive, it doesn't sound that simple.
Rose continued, "The numbers on your left arms represent your corresponding rooms and identities. In this game, you will be role-playing. As for who you are playing, you will need to find clues and gradually restore the original identity, and finally tell the story line of your identity."
Pei Jinzhi raised his hand: "In other words, in addition to surviving until midnight on the eighth day, we must also find our own identity information. Only when we find all of it can we complete the mission?"
Rose said: "Yes, beautiful lady, you are very smart too."
Pei Jinzhi shrugged off her compliments. Being smart didn't guarantee survival, so what was the point?
"Now that we've explained the game content, let's talk about the rules."
As soon as the words fell, everyone had a yellowed piece of paper in their hands, on which was written each person's name, gender and number, and the rest was a large blank space.
There were a few lines of words written on the back, and Lan Shuang read them out. "Rose Manor Check-in Guide: All guests must be seated at the long dining table at nine o'clock every morning. Latecomers will be subject to random penalties. No one is allowed to go out after midnight. Those who go out will encounter unspeakable dangers and random penalties. Do not attempt to climb over the gate of Rose Manor. Violators will be wiped out."
At this point everyone shuddered.
"...The NPCs in the manor will interact with you. You can't refuse them. You can also get clues about your identity from them. Finally, don't peek into the darkness casually, otherwise something unfortunate will happen~"
After Lan Shuang finished reading, Jiang Lusheng snapped his fingers: "So these are all the rules? Are there any other hidden rules?"
Rose: "No, apart from the above, everyone can move around freely in the manor. The NPCs will provide you with daily food, and of course you can also make your own."
"After dinner at nine o'clock, everyone can write down their personal information on the paper in your hands. Correct answers will earn you points, while incorrect answers will deduct points. The person with the highest score will receive a wish-granting reward, while the others will receive a hundred times the amount in bonuses. Go for it! High risk, high reward! What you gain in the end depends on your clever minds."
"Now, the game officially begins!"
"Wait—" Lan Shuang hurriedly stopped Rose, "Does this count as the first day?"
Rose smiled: "Of course, it's eight o'clock in the morning on the first day."
Lan Shuang was surprised. "Doesn't that mean we still have an hour to complete the first round of identity recording? What happens if I can't write it down?"
The others also became nervous.
Rose said coldly, "If you can't write it, you will lose one point."
Lan Shuang: “…”
Before she finished speaking, she immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed out.
Zheng Mingxin stared in amazement, “Where is she going?”
Jiang Lusheng chuckled, "Of course I'm looking for identification information. Didn't I tell you that if you can't write it down, you'll lose points."
He put away the paper in his hand and followed Lan Shuang upstairs slowly.
Zheng Mingxin still didn’t understand: “What’s upstairs?”
Wen Qingqing stood up and reminded her: "The number corresponds to each person's room. There must be identification information in the room."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others began to move.
Liu Quan muttered, "I didn't even bother to remind everyone."
Pei Jinzhi passed by him and glanced at him from behind her high heels. "If you're stupid, don't blame others for being too smart."
"you--"
Liu Quan's face looked grim. He Ping patted his shoulder and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's hurry up and find clues first."
Liu Quan suppressed his anger and followed him upstairs.
Lan Shuang actually has an extra cheating tool compared to others - 888.
"Xiao Baba, I'm number six. Which floor is number six's room on?"
"Host, I just checked. It's on the west side of the third floor. There's another room next to it, one opposite, and one on each side."
Lan Shuang nodded: "Okay."
She walked straight to her room. She heard footsteps behind her, but pretended not to hear them. She turned the door of room number six and went in. It was pitch black inside. She raised her hand and groped on the wall for a while. Suddenly, an arm reached out from behind and wrapped around her waist. The movement was gentle but irresistible, pushing her into the room.
Then there was a "click" sound, and the door was locked from the inside. Just as Lan Shuang was about to speak, someone covered her mouth.
"Hush—be silent, pretty lady, I'm here to steal a kiss from you."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows. Is this guy really playing role-playing?
The next moment she was pressed against the door, and a kiss with a faint mint scent landed accurately on her lips, rolling and penetrating deep.
Lan Shuang did not refuse. She took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and deepened this long-lost kiss.
888 shyly covered his eyes, "Ah, it's already late, why don't you guys get down to business first!"
