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…

Inside Room 2 the curtains, once parted by the wind, never closed again; through the gauzy window the garden outside the castle could be seen in full. Beneath a starless night, purple rot spread beneath the tangled plants, the borders of branch and stem and leaf dissolved into clusters of ghostly gloom. Dressed in black, Miss Anna stood in the heart of the sea of roses, lone and still as a tombstone under the sickly moonlight. The light was too dim for Qi Si to tell which way she faced…

Everything faded into the distance, including the sound of breathing nearby and the wind far away. Qi Si stood with his head bowed, standing indifferently, knowing he was dreaming. A long silence blanketed the world, and it was a long time before the low, mournful music began to play. A faint light illuminated the dark field of vision as a black crow flew past, alighting on the white relief of a cross, turning its head to stare at Qi Si. An European-style Graveyard unfolded…

The door of the ancient castle was fitted with the simplest mechanical lock, the kind that could be handled with a piece of wire. Qi Si opened the door with the key and led the way into the room. Before him was a guest room of about twelve square meters. Yellowed wallpaper clung snugly to the four walls, barely concealing the water stains and mold that announced its age. The decaying, festering ceiling was dotted with black ulcers, from which sprouted grass shoots like worms on a scab, ready…

Guess? Lin Chen truly hadn't expected Qi Si to joke around at a time like this. Before he could say anything, Shen Ming jumped in to smooth things over: “Don't take it out on Little Lin—he's new and doesn't know better; he spoke out of turn. We're one team here, so let's give and take and keep the peace.” Qi Si gave Shen Ming a smile, plucked another apple from the table, and began polishing it as though none of this concerned him. He'd delivered…

The steward laid out the cutlery one by one along the long table, pouring scarlet wine into goblets and setting them before the players. Knives and forks rested on the plates, napkins beside them, all arranged at every seat; baskets brimmed with bright-red apples, while dishes held meat laced with bloody threads, lined up across the table. "May all guests enjoy the coming meal." The steward bowed mechanically, pushed the emptied trolley, and vanished round the corner of the stairs without a backward…

Dark grey clouds pressed over the grey-purple sky, crushing the pale, powerless, cold sunlight. Damp moisture floated in the air, as if it could condense into water droplets and fall at any moment. Qi Si opened his eyes and found himself standing in a Gothic manor. The towering ancient castle in front of him cast a monster-like shadow, engulfing him from above. The ancient castle looked old; its walls were covered in decaying vines that resembled a network of meridians, splitting them into…
