[Should we continue with the Strange Tales World: The Mysterious Apartment?]
If you choose no, you will immediately leave this world, receive one-seventh of the reward, and will be unable to re-enter this world.
If you choose yes, you will continue the level.
On the morning of the third day, as expected, the same question came up again, and Jiang Ran and Weipus both chose yes.
The solution to the rules from the previous two days has been thoroughly studied by everyone, so another batch of ghost story writers have flocked in.
This group of people basically no longer have the qualifications to compete for the game; they just want to grab a reward for clearing the game on the first day.
In fact, in the eyes of many countries, the lives of ghost story tellers are extremely precious. Although this operation greatly reduces the rewards, it can at least preserve manpower to the greatest extent.
And what if... what if everyone in front of us dies? Wouldn't the progress just naturally increase?
[Rule Nine: Today is the day your roommate is coming home. Please give him a warm welcome and prepare some food for him. If possible, please chat with him about what has happened in the past two days.]
[Rule 10: You don't have a roommate! Please don't trust anyone who claims to be your roommate, and don't let them into the room. If an intruder enters the room, please do not speak to them.]
[Rule Eleven: Never let the intruder know you know they are an intruder. When the intruder goes to the toilet, lock them inside before they notice. Something will take care of them. (PS: From now on, the intruder is immune to any other form of harm except through this method.)]
[Rule Twelve: If the homeowner violates the rules, he will suffer the consequences of the house's actions. But don't worry, as long as the intruder is driven away, the apartment will return to peace.]
It wasn't just two rules, but four rules announced at once. This means that this world of ghost stories is nearing its end, and everything will be completed during the day today, without entering the night!
The new batch of ghost story writers are probably devastated. Judging by the current pace, if Jiang Ran or Weipus clears the level, they won't even get the first day's reward.
The ninth rule is in serious conflict with the last three rules. Jiang Ran is more willing to believe that the ninth rule is wrong, because this is obviously a single apartment, and there is not even a second bedroom. How could two people share it?
The first piece of intelligence we received was that an intruder would definitely appear, and his task was to pretend to be the roommate and lock him in the bathroom without being discovered!
It's easy to understand, but not easy to put into practice.
Because if you can't talk to him, the intruder might easily realize you know who he is, leading to mission failure!
Perhaps the real challenge is figuring out how to intimidate him without breaking the rules!
This is really troublesome. The intruder is immune to damage from other sources, otherwise I could just shoot him and there would be no need for any rules.
Jiang Ran rolled out of bed and noticed that the cat crouching in the corner had turned its fur back to dark gray, and it looked like it wouldn't be long before it turned black again!
Cats these days are definitely not trustworthy!
Jiang Ran returned to the pet room and picked up the purified cat food. Details matter, and he couldn't let such a troublemaker stay at home.
"Dinner's ready!"
Jiang Ran carried the cat food to the bedroom, but received no response from the cat. As he stepped into the bedroom again, a ghostly hand suddenly attacked!
Bang--
Gunshots rang out, and the ghostly hand vanished into dust.
The white cat devoured a ghost hand yesterday, but now another one has appeared. Can this thing respawn infinitely?
It seems that as long as I enter the bedroom from the hallway, I will be attacked by the ghost hand if I don't have the protection of the fish or the cat!
As for why the ghost hand was gone when we went to the basement, it's probably because the fish was still inside its belly, so it didn't bother to show itself and simply retreated.
Gwen was still fast asleep in bed in the bedroom; the cat was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that the rules for the third day didn't require the cat, so the cat automatically ran away?
Jiang Ran returned to the living room, paused briefly for a second, and subconsciously took a step back.
A gloomy man with black hair, wearing a black coat and a black mask, stood in the middle of the living room, staring at Jiang Ran.
Is this the intruder?
"This guy is dressed all in black; he doesn't look like a good person at all!"
"Your sudden appearance really startled me!"
After the rules were announced, the live stream became active again. Lin Changqing stared intently at the screen, as he still had two prompts left to use!
On the other side, Wips' progress is a little slower. We can't expect him to provide any important information for now; we can only analyze it ourselves!
The man in black waved his hands up and down as if gesturing something, then he took out paper and pen from his pocket, quickly wrote a note, and handed it to Jiang Ran.
"I'm sorry I can't speak, but it's nice to meet you, my roommate."
Jiang Ran nodded in response.
After Jiang Ran nodded in acknowledgment, the man in black turned his head away and stood there quietly in a daze, saving Jiang Ran the trouble of figuring out how to bluff him.
Nothing unusual happened, indicating that the man in black was unaware that Jiang Ran knew his identity.
On the other side, after getting up, Wips also rushed to get cat food, but instead of going into the bedroom like Jiang Ran, he directly banged on the bowl at the bedroom door.
Even without a meow, he knew the cat was probably gone!
Afterwards, he went to the living room, and his situation developed the same as Jiang Ran's.
"Why do I suddenly feel that the rules for the third day are so simple?"
"Yes, it looks like there are four rules, but in reality you only need to do one thing."
The comments kept scrolling by, all of them complaining about the difficulty. Compared to the dangers lurking everywhere in the first two days, the rules for the third day did indeed seem incredibly simple.
Now, Jiang Ran and Weipus have made the same choice: to sit quietly in the living room and stare blankly at the man in black.
Once the kid goes to the toilet, everything will be fine.
After sitting for a full hour, the man in black finally made his next move. He poured two glasses of water from the kitchen, handing one to Jiang Ran and placing the other in front of himself.
Another note arrived.
"Please have a drink."
Jiang Ran watched his every move to make sure he had no chance to poison him, but even so she only pretended to take a sip.
The man in black drank the glass of water in front of him in one gulp, and 30 minutes later, he slowly walked towards the toilet.
"Here it comes, are you ready to proceed?"
"That should be it, Brother Jiang has already caught up!"
Jiang Ran now felt like one of those voyeurs who follow others. Sigh, what can he do? The rules made him do it.
Once this door is locked, will everything be over...?
