In the guest room on the Second Floor, Ye Zi's corpse slid slowly to the floor, her eyes wide open in death. Even in death, she couldn't understand how Zou Yan had killed her in an instance where "only Ghosts can kill humans." Zou Yan withdrew her right hand. Her originally fair arm was covered in ugly vine-like patterns, and occasionally, plant tentacles would bore out from her blood vessels, blooming into tiny, bloody flower buds. The process of turning into…-

"The highest level of gamesmanship is to stay behind the scenes, observing and prying, gathering the most information while everyone else remains oblivious." "Sister Zou, this isn't your second time in an instance, is it? A newbie couldn't produce an item like that. You're a veteran who spent points to enter a specific instance, right?" After time rewound, inside Guest Room 1, Zou Yan smiled at Ye Zi. "You're not simple either, are you? I know that you and Shen Ming are both from…-

The clues on Chang Xu's side were similar in structure to the parts already known to Qi Si; both consisted of four cryptic lines of poetry, plus five segments of diary-style content. Judging by the tone, the diaries in the two sets of clues were written by different people, which happened to metaphorically reveal the backstory from different perspectives. Qi Si read the clues from beginning to end twice, memorized them, then took a piece of papyrus and stood at the table to write down…-

In the garden of Rose Manor, three earthen pits lay neatly across the ground like scars. Inside each pit lay a mangled corpse; including the one dug up initially, there were two men and one woman in total. These three corpses wore modern clothing, yet their faces were unfamiliar; at least none of the three people present recognized them. Lying in the last pit was a girl no more than twelve or thirteen years old, her hair in pigtails. Her dress was shredded by vines, revealing crisscrossing…-

After Ye Zi came over, it didn't take long before Zou Yan heard the commotion and walked over as well. Several people gathered around the corpse in the pit, just like they had previously gathered around Shen Ming's corpse on the second floor. After the warning from this morning's events, the players were relatively calm; no one screamed, and no one paced the ground uneasily. "This corpse should be the most important clue in the garden," Zou Yan analyzed. "If…-

On the second floor of the ancient castle, Lin Chen placed his notebook back on the table and stood by the French window in the guest room, nervously looking down at the activity in the garden. He watched Qi Si walk to the iron gate, knock on the ground, say something to the suddenly appearing butler, then Miss Anna walked out of the ancient castle, and Qi Si smiled and went forward to chat with her. Lin Chen knew the time had come. Qi Si's part was…-

Along the stone walls inside the ancient castle, snaking water stains seep like ulcers, and the withered vines seem to have grown a little more, deepening the cracks in the weathered, crumbling masonry. Qi Si descended the stairs to the ground floor; he saw neither Miss Anna nor the Butler. Most of the time these two NPCs vanish from the castle as though erased, appearing only when necessary—perhaps kindly leaving players ample room to explore, or perhaps because they know that…-

Lin Chen was considered a high-achieving student in reality. Hearing Qi Si's hint, he immediately understood the crux of the problem. Shen Ming, the most capable among them, had already met with an accident; the difficulty of this instance was self-evident. Once players realized that it was difficult to achieve clearance through normal means like gathering clues or deciphering rules, they might do anything unethical in order to survive. The original…-

An item? Qi Si could understand the previous key being an item, but the pocket watch held by Chang Xu clearly didn't belong to this instance based on its era and style. Where did it come from? Why didn't the other players have one? Chang Xu said indifferently, "This is a reward I obtained for a perfect clear in the first instance. It was precisely through it that I knew the exact time at every moment last night." That explains it. It seemed some items could be…-

Qi Si savored the emotions behind the scream and, without changing his expression, stated the conclusion he already knew: "Someone is dead." "D-dead?" Lin Chen looked at Qi Si, his face pale. "Didn't they say we didn't have to open a single Blind Box?" "Unfortunately, rational people only make up a minority of the group." Qi Si pushed the door open and tilted his head slightly. "Lin Chen, interested in taking a look with me?" He had seen many dead people, but…-
