Ma Zirong's question went unanswered, because the next second, he completely lost consciousness, his neck twisted at an eerie angle as he gazed at the ceiling.
He was dead.
Dead under everyone's watchful eyes!
Yu Hanzhou's pupils contracted as he saw a pale hand stretch out from the darkness behind Ma Zirong, then grip his neck, slowly exerting force.
Ma Zirong showed no reaction to this, as if he was numb!
Until his neck was completely twisted, he hadn't uttered a word, not even a scream!
But, because of this silence, dying so quietly in front of everyone made them all more horrified, their skin crawling.
Outside the window was a pitch-black night, the wind howling, as if gnawing on the dust-laden window bars, making them creak.
Nobody knew what had happened in this villa before, and Yu Hanzhou was not interested in finding out the cause and aftermath.
This was a survival task, not a tid task!
This fierce ghost in the villa had no weaknesses whatsoever, dragged into the abyss by a despairing malevolence, no longer with any consciousness, only the desire to drag the living into the sa hell it was in!
Yu Hanzhou glanced at the clock hanging on the villa's living room wall, noting it was eleven-thirty now...
The long hour and minute hands were bright red and particularly glaring, he'd never felt ti drag on like this before.
They arrived here at seven in the evening, which ant they would have to stay in this terrifying, uninhabited villa for nearly twenty more hours...
And the scariest part was, the ghost had already started to act!
As Yu Hanzhou was lost in thought, the crowd began to panic.
"No, impossible! How could Ma Zirong be dead? He was sitting right across from , he didn't look at the mirror or turn around, why was he killed?" Sun Wenjie exclaid, eyes afla with disbelief.
"Could it be that the decryption is fake? Don't look at the mirror, don't turn around—are these all red herrings? Maybe...maybe turning around is the true way to survive?!" Dong An began to waver, voicing his speculation, feeling more convinced the more he said it.
At this mont, a person who had been silent and speechless suddenly turned pale, as if he thought of sothing, and was about to speak, but held back.
However, Yu Hanzhou noticed his expression.
"Lu Guo, what did you discover?"
Lu Guo shook his head slightly, his face looking grave, unwilling to believe his own speculation.
Because...if what he thought was true, he...would die too!
And this ti, out of eight people, almost all were going to die!
Except for...
Lu Guo's strangeness made Yu Hanzhou keep a heart eye on him, helplessly glancing at the crowd starting to argue, at this mont, only he, Lu Guo, Zhou Changfeng, and that female newcor, Qi Nian, were not in turmoil.
Frankly, Yu Hanzhou himself was also in a ntal tangle, he had witnessed Ma Zirong's bizarre death firsthand, what taboo had he violated?
Couldn't figure it out, completely unintelligible!
Mirror, turning around... he didn't turn around and didn't look at the mirror, to be precise, there wasn't even a mirror in this living room...
Mirror...
Yu Hanzhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration, vaguely felt he'd grasped sothing, but frowned deeply, and smacked his head hard.
Damn it, clearly thought of sothing but couldn't form a concrete idea.
Just then, Qi Nian suddenly trembled and said, "Did...did you sll that?"
Her words weren't very important, in fact, newbies in Fog Gathering basically had no say.
Moreover, soone as unfortunate as Qi Nian, encountering a survival task on her first ti.
Many people weren't superstitious, but since entering the eerie Fog Gathering, they had to believe certain sayings, such as, so people's luck was terribly bad, and being too close to them was definitely unwise.
Evidently, Qi Nian was such a person.
Incidentally, Bai Yanliang was also regarded as one of those people in the hearts of the Fog Gathering elders.
After all, for a newcor to beco a resentful, that's an unprecedented misfortune.
However, after hearing Qi Nian's words, everyone still involuntarily took note.
In such a life-and-death place, no one would shoot arrows without a target, moreover, a woman's intuition and sensitivity were very crucial, and very trustworthy weapons.
At this point, the group finally slled what Qi Nian was referring to...
This was...a faint scent of jasmine and...the putrid stench of decaying flesh.
A very strange odor.
It mingled with the charming aroma, and enveloped the nauseating stink as it gradually approached, the night grew darker, and ti edged closer to midnight...
"Dang—Dang—Dang—"
The clock suddenly chid, making everyone shiver.
Then, they heard faint sounds coming from outside the villa's living room door.
"Tap, tap, tap."
Everyone's eyes widened abruptly, that was... footsteps!
Yu Hanzhou stood up straight, took a deep breath, fixed his gaze on everyone, and said urgently, "Pair up, split up, go!"
The group was montarily stunned, their gazes toward him complex.
Ma Zirong's mysterious death, this division ant soone had to hide alone in this villa, and from Yu Hanzhou's stance, he seed intent on being that person...
Among these people, who knew how many thought well of him, or how many thought him stupid.
But to Yu Hanzhou himself, he was simply making the right choice.
The seven quickly paired up, not daring to look back, awkwardly scattered throughout the villa.
Yu Hanzhou was the last to leave, he glanced at the living room door, already slightly ajar, through which a twisted, pale arm had reached in.
He wasted no ti, turned, and went upstairs to the second floor.
...
Ruyi Hotel.
After Bai Yanliang suggested splitting up, he went to an unexpected place—a room no one had thought of.
Room 405.
The room where he woke up.
Opening the door, which was unlocked, Bai Yanliang glanced inside.
Bed, bedside table, calendar, a TV set in the corner, a window...
Everything looked the sa as when he left.
But... this ti, Bai Yanliang knew there was sothing else in his room...
He had a good mory, so he clearly recalled the direction Li Yuejun was staring at in terror when she fell to the ground earlier.
It should be... under the bed.
Bai Yanliang closed the door, though sowhat assured internally, his heartbeat quickened, exhilarated after a long ti.
Nonetheless, he didn't dislike this feeling.
Taking a slight breath, Bai Yanliang knelt on one knee, leaned down, and abruptly thrust his head under the bed.
A deathly pale woman's face suddenly appeared!
She was so close, only centiters away from Bai Yanliang's face!
The intense rancid stench seeped into Bai Yanliang's nostrils, and the malicious pupil-less gaze was just a hair's breadth away from him.
But at this mont, Bai Yanliang actually smiled and said:
"Hello, I have so questions to ask you."
