Chapter 18: New Clues
Bai Cha always felt that behind this so-called rule game, there should be other rules.
These thoughts flashed through her mind, and Bai Cha slowly withdrew her hand from the phone.
She walked to the sofa and flipped through the drawer.
There was indeed a board game inside.
But speaking of it, hadn’t those players checked during the day?
Or could the board game only be seen in this state?
The board game was neatly placed in the card box. The patterns printed on the cards were naturally the familiar Buddha statues. The hand gestures of the Buddha statues on the front and back corresponded to the two flyers respectively.
Bai Cha’s eyes flickered slightly, and she opened the board game.
Inside, there was a game board spread out on the table, eight player identity pieces, a die, a deck of playing cards, an instruction manual, and a flyer.
The hand gesture of the Buddha statue on the flyer was the teaching mudra.
[Supplementary Instructions for guest-house Rules 2.0]
[1. The guest-house is untrustworthy.
- The front desk is untrustworthy.
- If you experience hallucinations after eating food, do not panic. Just sleep it off.
- Please do not leave the guest-house. If you leave for special reasons, please contact the guest-house immediately upon your return. We will have a specialist examine your body because the outside is very dangerous.
- The guest-house is equipped with board games. Guests can consider playing board games to pass the time. Time will pass quickly.]
The last two were exactly the same.
The rule about not trusting the front desk was also the same.
That was really interesting.
“What are you looking at? Why are you here?” A voice came from the stairs.
Bai Cha looked up and saw the somewhat disheveled ponytail girl and the man with glasses.
The two seemed to be roommates, but the ponytail girl had teamed up with Zhong Man.
And Brother Cai and Zhong Man were roommates.
A somewhat surprised expression appeared on her face. Hearing this, she hesitated and looked behind them, made a gesture for them to come closer, and waved.
The two indeed came over.
Bai Cha directly and generously handed them the supplementary instructions with the teaching mudra.
“Look, I found this, and this board game.” Her voice was very low, as if not wanting to disturb some presence, almost a whisper.
The two of them already looked like they had encountered something. They sat down beside her even more nervously and looked at the instructions.
After reading them, the two exchanged a glance, then looked at Bai Cha again.
“Your… your roommate, did something happen to her too?” the man with glasses asked.
Bai Cha shook her head.
“She’s still sleeping. I heard a sound outside the window and thought of that rule. I originally planned to come down to call.”
She looked around the dim surroundings as if somewhat frightened.
“But I always feel like something’s weird. When I came downstairs, I felt like someone was following me. But I didn’t see anyone, and now I still feel like someone is watching me.”
The front desk staff lurking in the dark: “…”
The ponytail girl and the man with glasses didn’t doubt her words.
The guest-house was indeed very dangerous now, and they had directly told Bai Cha that Zhong Man was dead.
“Didn’t you see anything?” the two asked.
Bai Cha shook her head.
“Then…” The ponytail girl was a little anxious, her voice subconsciously rose, but she quickly realized it was inappropriate and lowered her voice again.
“Didn’t you see Zhong Man’s body lying at the door of 305?”
Bai Cha had of course seen it. She had also seen the whole process of his neck being snapped.
Having already put on an act, she shook her head.
“I didn’t see anything when I came out of the room.”
The two nodded.
The ponytail girl said, “Then maybe it was after you left. Can’t your roommate be woken up?”
Bai Cha hesitated for a moment and said, “Actually, I didn’t dare to wake her. Didn’t the rules say not to easily disturb others?”
The main reason was that Bai Cha didn’t know if waking Xiao Xiao was good or bad in that situation. The sound outside was quite loud, and what if it attracted Xiao Xiao too?
She had finally gotten Xiao Xiao to sincerely decide to protect her as much as possible. It would be a pity if she died directly.
Because rules were always useful in the end.
That rule clearly stated not to disturb anyone.
Anyone.
And after she finished speaking, the two looked at her with somewhat complicated expressions.
“You did the right thing. That rule should be safe to follow, or rather, it’s safe for the person being woken up.”
The ponytail girl glanced at the man with glasses as she spoke, and the man with glasses smiled somewhat apologetically.
Clearly, it was self-evident that the two of them looked so disheveled probably because the man with glasses had woken up the ponytail girl.
“What happens when you’re woken up?” Bai Cha asked curiously.
“You’ll be entangled by those things. There’s a child and a woman,” the ponytail girl said with lingering fear, but the man with glasses was also quite strong.
Even the ponytail girl met the minimum strength requirements for the instance and had put in a great deal of effort to deal with that thing. As for whether this would violate any other conditions, it wasn’t clear yet.
Bai Cha immediately patted her chest, saying with lingering fear, “That’s good then, I didn’t wake her up. I also know what you’re talking about. I saw it, it scared me to death.”
The ponytail girl looked at her somewhat subtly.
“Can I ask you a question?”
