Chapter 5: Late Night Footsteps
Chapter 5: Late Night Footsteps
"Everyone be careful. In the weird game, the night is usually the most dangerous. However, the first night should not be that dangerous. As I said before, weird things are generally divided into two types. One is the regular type. They have their own killing rules. If you encounter this type of weird thing, you need to patiently observe the rules to survive. The other type of weird thing is more dangerous. We generally call it the indiscriminate type. This type of weird thing is very scary and kills people indiscriminately."
Seeing everyone's grim expressions, Liu Tong comforted them, "Don't worry, although there are indiscriminate dangers, generally speaking the game will at least give us a way out, so we need to carefully observe everything we encounter."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
"Do you think that the way to survival this time will be that statue?" Teacher Zhang Wen suddenly pointed at the statue hanging above the cabin.
It was a stone statue, and the carved figure had his eyes closed.
There are also offerings placed under the stone statue.
"It's hard to say. The path to life is usually not placed in such a conspicuous place." Liu Tong also looked towards the statue.
He had been observing this statue for a long time. After all, it was placed very conspicuously.
As for whether it was a way to survive, he had no way of judging.
And thinking of the girl's diary, Liu Tong felt inexplicably afraid of things like God.
It’s a way to survive…
Or... this thing is the weirdness in this game.
Obviously, Liu Tong is not the only one who has this idea.
Chen Weiyu and Lin Xi, who were eating at this time, did not dare to look at the statue, for fear that something might go wrong.
After a while, seeing that everyone had finished eating, Liu Tong said, "Everyone, go back to your room after you finish eating. Follow the old lady's instructions, one room per person. At the beginning of the game, don't break the rules. Remember to close the doors and windows as the old lady said. Also, be careful not to turn on the lights."
"Ah? Why don't you turn on the lights?" Lin Xi asked immediately.
Liu Tong explained: "Because it's spooky and they're not afraid of light, turning on the lights to sleep is purely for psychological comfort. On a dark ship, light is more likely to attract spookiness. I've experienced this many times before. Some girls are afraid of the dark, so they turn on the lights to sleep, but they are the first to die."
Lin Xi said with a pale face: "Thank you Brother Liu for your guidance."
Judging from the unnatural look on her face, she must have been preparing to sleep with the lights on at night.
Liu Tong saved her once.
"No need to thank me. We are in a dungeon and can only survive by helping each other. I am just helping myself." Liu Tong stood up, picked up the key, opened her own room, and said, "Good night, everyone. See you tomorrow."
Seeing that Liu Tong had entered the room, everyone left the dining table.
Bai Wan walked to the second room on the left, 102.
Next to him was room 103 where Chen Weiyu lived. When he opened the door, Chen Weiyu also opened the door at the same time.
When Chen Weiyu saw Bai Wan, he nodded to her with an awkward smile and walked in. He must have remembered the embarrassing thing before.
Bai Wan also nodded and walked into his room.
He sat on the bed and glanced at the environment. The layout inside was probably similar to that of a real hotel.
A bed, a table, a chair and a mirror.
The overall look is clean and tidy.
……
At the same time, Lin Xi also came to her own room 104.
She carefully observed the room for a long time, looking at every corner before sitting on the bed and breathing a sigh of relief.
Looking at the still lit light bulb on the roof, she gritted her teeth, walked to the switch, and mustered up the courage to turn it off.
whoosh...
The moment the lights were turned off, the room became dim.
Moonlight also shines in from the window.
Lin Xi quickly climbed onto the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt.
Looking at the pitch-black room, Lin Xi couldn't help but tremble, and finally began to cry slowly.
She is an anchor and has made a lot of money thanks to her good looks and dedication.
Just a week ago, she finally managed to secure a big sponsor.
The hotel has already booked rooms.
Who would have thought that she would find an invitation to a strange game on the table at home that day.
This week, she has woken up crying in the middle of the night every time.
She was unwilling to give up, and she thought about it countless times.
why?
Why is she the unlucky one?
Now that she was in the ghost ship, she was even more frightened.
But I didn't dare cry out loud, for fear of being noticed by the ghost.
She could only bury herself in the quilt.
I don’t know how long it took, but slowly, she got tired of crying and fell asleep.
……
"Well……"
Lin Xi tried hard to open his eyes and touched his aching head. It took him a few seconds to realize where he was.
"Did I fall asleep?"
She fumbled for her phone in the dark, and it showed the time was 1:30 in the morning...
Is it already so late?
She had no recollection of falling asleep.
Suddenly, she felt like going to the bathroom.
But after taking a look at the pitch-black room, I didn't have the courage to go out to the bathroom.
Normally in real life, she didn't dare to go to the toilet alone at night, let alone now that she was in a strange world.
There really is a ghost there.
Thinking of this, she held back her urge to urinate.
Just as she was about to take another nap, her body suddenly stiffened.
Because there was a sudden sound outside the door.
Hey.
The sound is so soft that you won't be able to hear it if you don't pay attention.
Lin Xi immediately held his breath and lay motionless on the bed, while keeping his ears open to the door.
Is it an illusion?
Lin Xi tried to listen for a long time, but heard no sound.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another slight sound from outside the door.
Hey.
Lin Xi's body was shaking uncontrollably.
Hearing the sound twice in succession made her sure that she had not heard it wrong.
There was indeed a sound outside.
What's even more terrifying is that the sounds gradually became more frequent.
Da da da……
The sound is sometimes far away and sometimes near.
It sounded like someone was walking down the hall...
Lin Xi looked pale.
She suddenly thought of what was written in the girl's diary...
Anne, I heard footsteps at night, but I asked all the tourists and they didn't come out at night...
Was this the footsteps Anne had heard?
Lin Xi looked desperate.
Because Anne in the diary disappeared not long after hearing the footsteps...
Being watched...
I'm being stared at by a ghost!
Lin Xi buried herself in the quilt, hoping to block out the sound, but it was no use. The sound was like an impenetrable demon, whispering in her ears.
After a few minutes, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the sound seemed to have reached the second floor.
Lin Xi relaxed a little, but even so, she still hid under the quilt and didn't dare to come out.
……
At the same time, the door of Bai Wan's room opened quietly.
Through the crack in the door, Bai Wan secretly observed outside the hall.
Because it was raining heavily outside and the windows in the hall were small, it was dark outside and I could hardly see anything.
The tables and chairs in the hall were all pitch black, and the statue in the distance was also shrouded in darkness, with only an outline visible.
call……
Bai Wan took a deep breath and then tiptoed out.
His whole body merged into the darkness, causing him to feel a chill.
With the sound of rain outside the window, he moved carefully and looked towards the second floor.
He also heard the strange footsteps from before.
Now the owner of the footsteps seems to be on the second floor.
Just as Bai Wan was about to sneak up to the second floor, he suddenly thought of the statue placed in the hall. He casually glanced back and his heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
I saw a dark figure squatting in front of the divine image, staring at me.
