The moment Qi Si plunged the blade into Chang Xu's neck, Zou Yan's eyes widened. Her expression froze in that instant. Or rather, the movements, developments, and expressions of every person, thing, and object in the entire space froze at this very moment. A long stagnation spread wantonly until a certain point, when the hands of the grandfather clock in the corner suddenly began to reverse with a "tick-tock." The rusted brass gears turned in the opposite direction, and the…-

Zou Yan stood outside Room 2 for five minutes, but there was no response from Lin Chen. It was as if the room had been empty all along. Yet she clearly remembered that Lin Chen had not stepped out once since entering the room. Over her years as a psychologist, Zou Yan had accumulated a wealth of experience, allowing her to discern a person's character with just a brief interaction. She knew Lin Chen lacked assertiveness and cunning, and was easily…

"Assuming my deduction is correct, the Time Loop has already begun, and the initial number of players entering this instance was nine..." Qi Si crumpled the photo in his hand, threw it on the ground, and looked at the rain outside the window. "Knowing myself, when facing a one-third death rate, I would ensure I didn't violate any rules, wait for three unlucky fools to break the rules and die, and then easily clear the instance." He only told half the…

“Lin Chen, are you inside? Yezi is dead, but I’ve obtained a key clue. Let’s meet up first, please open the door...” On the second floor of the ancient castle, in Room 2, Lin Chen curled up on the bed. Listening to the female voice outside, he couldn't help but grip the door key in his hand tightly. The voice was separated from his ears by a door panel, and combined with a tremor likely caused by fear, it sounded muffled and distorted, but he could still identify it as Zou…

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…
