  The night was very quiet. In the room on the east side, Ben Fu sat alone by the stove, warming himself. He was the one chosen to keep wat this room. His shift was the sed one, with the first shift being occupied by Yu Man in the room.

  There was no such thing as "dies first" here. Everyone had to tribute to the team. The old rule was that everyone would take turns on watch for two hours, and after that, they would wake up the person for their shift.

  Ben Fu stared at the woman's watch pced in front of him.

  His shift was almost over, with only 20 minutes remaining. Then, he could wake up Pei Qian, who was on the shift.

  Ben Fu slowly stood up and stretched his body. One of his hands rubbed the outside of his thigh—his legs had grown numb from sitting for so long.

  Yawning, he zily gnced diagonally forward. The room's window had a rge hole in it, and through that hole, he could just about see the position of the front door.

  But that one gnce made it hard for him to look away.

  In the darkness, he saw a familiar face.

  Although it was only for a split sed, he immediately reized that it was Zh.

  Zh had his back to Ben Fu, standihe door beside the fence. His tall figure was slightly hunched, moving stealthily. There was anure with him.

  Ben Fu’s eyes focused on the sed person. His pupils stricted—it was Yin Zhiping!

  What were these two doing out at this hour?

  He immediately thought back to what happened earlier in the m at the inn. Zh and Yin Zhiping had goo return the keys, but they lingered upstairs for more than ten minutes.

  At the time, he had found it strange, and now, it seemed the two might have made some kind of deal.

  Although Ben Fu was timid, he still had a clear sense of judgment when it came to big matters. His first instinct was that these two had found some clue. Otherwise, they wouldn’t risk sneaking out at night.

  And they were avoiding everyone else.

  After thinking for a few seds, he made a bold decision.

  He didn’t wake the other three people in the room. Instead, he carefully moved the wooden stick propping up the door and quietly slipped out.

  Zh and Yin Zhiping were being cautious. They chose a difficult path, trying to stay low to blend into the night.

  The more they did this, the more Ben Fu felt something was off with them.

  To his surprise, they didn’t leave the courtyard. Instead, after cirg around, they arrived at the abandoned building.

  Ben Fu’s throat tightened. He crouched behind a bush, pushing through the brao peek outside. He saw Zh open his mouth and whisper something. Yin Zhiping, with a grim expression, nodded firmly.

  The two of them found a window and climbed inside—oer the other.

  This surprised Ben Fu. He hadn’t expected them to be so bold.

  The building in front of him gave him a very bad impression for some reason, an instinctual uhat he couldn’t expin.

  After waiting for about half a minute, Ben Fu quietly crept closer. He carefully chose where to step, afraid of stepping on a dry brand making a sound.

  By the time he was close enough, he couldn’t help but admire Zh and Yin Zhiping. They were experieheir footsteps were almost inaudible.

  He hid uhe window, took a deep breath, and then quickly stuck his head out to gnside.

  He caught sight of Zh and Yin Zhiping disappearing around the er of the stairs.

  They were heading upstairs.

  Could the clue be upstairs? Ben Fu’s expression turrange.

  He stared at the st spot where the two had vanished. It itch bck there, like the gaping mouth of a monster waiting to devour anything that came too close.

  At the same time, veins started to show on his hand as he held onto the wall.

  In that moment, Ben Fu felt like a different person. His twisted gaze revealed an untrolble mix of madness and fusion, and he was brewing a more daring pn.

  He had to follow them and find out what was inside.

  Though it was a bold idea, it was a desperate move.

  He was just an ordinary person. He could clearly sehe indifference from his teammates. This group was much strohan his st one.

  That was good, but in a way, it was also bad.

  In his mind, the ck of newers meant that this mission was more difficult, and that the number of survivors would be few. Three, maybe four. Even five, he bit his lip, but he didn’t think he’d be one of them.

  He was too weak—so weak that he wouldn’t even realize if he walked into a trap set by a ghost.

  So, to survive, he had no choice but to find another way.

  Ben Fu silently calcuted in his mind: Zh and Yin Zhiping were no ordinary people. If they were taking such big risks, there must be some crucial clue inside.

  Who knows, maybe this clue would be the key to his survival.

  He wasn’t too worried about being discovered because someone in the previous game had vaguely hihat killing teammates in the nightmare would trigger terrifying sequences.

  So, even if they noticed him, Zh and Yin Zhiping wouldn’t dare to do anything. Instead, he could use their secretive as as leverage against them.

  In other words, the cost of making a mistake was low, but the potential bes were very high.

  He hesitated no longer. After listening quietly for a while and hearing no unusual sounds, he pced his hands on the windowsill, tried several times, and finally climbed up.

  Onside the building, he realized it was far more luxurious than he had imagined. pared to it, the rooms outside were practically outhouses.

  But it was very dark, and he could only make out a little of the surroundings. He found a wall and leaned against it, slowly making his way toward the stairs.

  “Bang!”

  He was so focused oairs that he didn’t notice his leg hitting something. The sound, though not loud, was jarring in the dead silence of the night.

  Ben Fu felt a chill run down his spine.

  He strained his ears to listen to the sounds upstairs.

  There was no sound. It was as if Zh and Yin Zhiping had disappeared into thin air.

  Of course, they hadn’t disappeared. Ben Fu guessed that they must have heard the noise from below and quickly hidden, too afraid to move.

  With this thought in mind, Ben Fu stopped trying to ceal his footsteps and ran up the stairs with loud thuds.

  As he emerged from the stairwell, his face, which had been tense, began to redden. He slowed his pace, trying to appear calm and fident.

  “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” he asked, walking toward the two of them.

  Zh and Yin Zhiping stood not far from him, looking at him coldly, their arms hanging naturally by their sides, not saying a word.

  Ben Fu frowhis wasn’t what he had imagined.

  He stopped, and after a long pause, he mustered up the ce to ask again, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

  As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zh and Yin Zhiping slowly raise their right hands. In a strangely synized motion, they both poi him. Then, their necks suddenly twisted to the right with a sharp crack.

  “Crack—”

  Ben Fu turned and ran.
