Deceitful Game

Chapter 96 [Go and take a look!]

Chapter 96 [Go and take a look!]

The flashlight beam illuminated the inside of the safe.

The camera then revealed the "treasures" inside to the audience.

It has a red and white metallic shell and a heart-shaped appearance. It looks like a chocolate box or candy box, giving it an aesthetic feel reminiscent of vintage items from the early 2000s.

"————."

Mingpo clicked his tongue: "It's not a gold watch after all."

He had originally planned to check which brand the man's gold watch was and then offer his opinion.

He changed from squatting to sitting, clamped the flashlight between his knees, and then took the item out of the safe.

He looked at it closely and realized that it was actually a music box.

Mingbo winds up the clockwork.

A sad, clear, and melodious tinkling sound followed.

That is————

"—A wedding in my dreams?"

Mingpo recognized it immediately from just the first few notes.

He was required by his family to learn piano when he was a child. Although he only persisted for three or four years in total, his musical talent was still quite good.

Mingpo closed her eyes slightly and listened quietly.

Enjoying this rare moment of peace.

On the other side...

After getting the key, Ai Shiping quickly arrived at the security room.

He was on tenterhooks throughout the entire process.

—Because when he got near the security room, the locked door unlocked and opened by itself.

The sound of someone turning a spring could even be heard coming from inside the door—

Ai Shiping stopped abruptly.

Hold your breath and concentrate, get ready.

He crouched cautiously by the door for a long time before confirming that no one was inside.

He then carefully pushed open the door, and the instant he did so, he jumped backward.

Thankfully, they didn't kill anyone at the door.

It was at this moment that Ai Shiping realized why he only had one key but had to open two locks.

It's not that this key can open two locks, but that one of the locks can be opened by itself!

He inserted the key into the lock in the center of the table, turned the key, and obtained the master key.

"You guys keep misleading me—"

Ai Shiping complained to the viewers in the live chat: "I spent ages looking for the second key, but it seems we didn't need it at all."

Now, by working backward from the result, Ai Shiping roughly understands the design philosophy behind this game.

Logically, they should indeed go to the front desk first.

At this point, they would see the newspaper and thus confirm the several incidents that had occurred there. Many unusual events occurred in the guest rooms, thus requiring the means to pick the locks.

Meanwhile, they can also see a map nearby.

The key to open the room door is most likely located in one of two places: the front desk or the security room.

Since the front desk doesn't have it, they should check the security office.

If he had gone to the security room first, he would have realized that the security room was locked—it might be the only locked room on the first floor.

Therefore, the only place they could still explore was the restaurant on the first floor.

At this point, they can obtain the "finger biscuits" and deduce from the fact that the inflexible fingers contain a key—

If Ai Shiping hadn't been so observant, it would have been difficult to tell from that metallic sheen that the key was hidden in his finger.

In other words, they might not actually need to separate until they reach the security room.

That restroom definitely needs to be investigated, but the two of them should have gone in together.

"—So that's how it is."

Ai Shiping pondered, "If separation is a form of punishment—"

But the comments interrupted his thoughts.

【Can】

【mine】

【? 】

[The streamer is really useless; the cameraman has already taken down one of them.]

[It could also be two]

"What do you mean by 'one ghost has already been killed'? What do you mean by 'possibly two'?"

Ai Shiping asked in disbelief, "Where did he get the weapon from? Why are you all so calm? Are you ghosts too?!"

He complained, but eventually, with the help of the comments, he got the hammer and screwdriver from the security room.

This is probably the only thing they can use for self-defense.

Clutching the hammer tightly and carrying a rag doll in his arms, Ai Shiping walked forward cautiously.

The emergency exit was completely dark.

But what's unusual is—

Light was shining through the tightly closed security door. It looked like a stairway to heaven.

It's like the lights are on there.

But—how is that possible?

There's absolutely no electricity here!

"Wait, wait, wait a minute."

Ai Shiping's voice trembled slightly as he lowered his voice and said, "Brothers—did you see that?"

Go check it out!

Go check it out!

Go check it out!

At some point, all the comments on the screen became the same sentence.

In that instant, Ai Shiping felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly realized something—

Are his audience members too indifferent to paranormal events?

—When did it start?

At the very beginning, there were still people acting crazy, and when he went to the toilet, someone told him to run—but from some point onwards, the comments section suddenly revealed a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Generally speaking, shouldn't we be questioning whether this is true or not?

There will also be people who try to explain how all this was done, and people who attack the former.

Even if we take a step back, there should at least be some atmosphere-building groups saying things like "How scary!" or "Run!"

But they kept encouraging Ai Shiping to explore further.

Although netizens love to watch the drama unfold—that doesn't mean they aren't afraid!

"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look. I'll go, I'll go—"

Seeing the increasingly dense barrage of "Go check it out" comments on his phone, Ai Shiping realized that if he stayed there without moving, something bad might happen.

Ai Shiping finally compromised and agreed.

He walked slowly forward.

Ai Shiping listened intently to every detail.

The enhanced hearing, amplified by the title "Fox," seemed like a fear amplifier at this moment.

He could clearly hear someone moving around outside the door, and he could also hear the melodious music box playing.

Just as he was about to push the door open, it was suddenly pulled open from the outside!

A bright light shone down in an instant, causing Ai Shiping, whose eyes were already accustomed to darkness, to instinctively reach out and shield his eyes.

Just then, a man's voice came from outside the door.

"Boss? What brings you here?"

————Wh-what?

Ai Shiping was stunned for a moment.

Before he could push the door open, the man pulled it open from the outside.

Then, he felt his mind go blank for a moment.

It's like drinking too much alcohol and falling asleep in a daze.

Ai Shiping suddenly woke up, feeling that the world around him was incredibly clear.

It was even unusually clear.

Everything that had happened before seemed like a dream, fading away rapidly as he regained consciousness. At first, he could still remember some details, but within a few breaths, those details all became blurry.

I only remember being terrified, so terrified that my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

But Ai Shiping couldn't even remember why he was there.
