"Light..."
Zhao Yi sat up from the bed, feeling the warmth streaming in from the window.
He walked over to the window and glanced at the wall clock again.
Zhao Yi seed to... understand sothing.
"The ti on the clock... is off."
"From the beginning until now, the clock has been ticking, perfectly in sync with my biological clock, yet the light outside hasn't changed at all."
"In other words, the sun outside hasn't risen or set."
"The ti outside... hasn't changed."
"The only thing that's changed... is the ti inside this hotel."
"But players can't leave the hotel... so they're forever trapped on February 15th."
"No wonder... the system used the word 'arrive.'"
"To reach the second day... players must leave this hotel."
Thoughts spun rapidly in Zhao Yi's mind as he stroked his chin.
Simple imprisonnt?
Absolutely impossible!
He was very certain that the ga's system wouldn't be so kind to the players.
Things would definitely get more dangerous!
After all, the system task had already stated at the beginning that players must 'arrive alive' on the seventh day.
Ding dong—
Zhao Yi pondered for a long ti until a chi sounded.
It was past 12 o'clock.
The sunlight outside dimd a bit.
Curiously, Zhao Yi looked out the window, then suddenly rembered sothing and imdiately went to the desk.
He flipped through the diary and found that the first page had been stained with a layer of blood red, filled with countless curses directed at Zhao Yi!
[Die!]
[Die!!]
[Die!!!]
These bloody words carried intense resentnt, directly attacking Zhao Yi's SAN value.
Hmm... but it was useless.
But in response, Zhao Yi politely pulled out the Shredder from his pants and placed it beside him.
"You cursing ?"
"You're done for."
Seeing Zhao Yi's large hand about to toss it into the Shredder, the diary panicked and flapped around like a duck!
The words on it changed.
[I was wrong!]
[Big brother, spare my life!]
Clearly, the diary was very aware of how terrifying the Shredder was.
Zhao Yi thought for a mont:
"Spare your life... hmm, it's not impossible."
"Tell , how do I leave this hotel?"
Eight words appeared on the diary.
[Kill the third faceless man]
The third one?
Zhao Yi slowly placed it back on the desk.
He turned to the second page.
Yesterday, he could only read the first page, but after the clock ticked past 24 hours, he could read one more page.
The diary no longer dared to resist, allowing Zhao Yi's nimble fingers to fiddle with its white pages.
...
[February 15th]
[A chainsaw-wielding killer suddenly broke in, attempting to kill you. Although the process was extrely difficult, you managed to kill it with your exceptional skills...]
...
Still February 15th.
The date hadn't changed, and the content was basically the sa.
The only difference was that this ti, the killer seed much stronger, and significantly so!
"Does it have sothing to do with the light?"
Zhao Yi imdiately looked out the window.
He realized that his earlier guess had a slight flaw and needed correction.
—Players wouldn't be 'forever' trapped on the first day.
According to the diary's description, the faceless n who ca in later would get stronger and stronger!
If players didn't quickly find a way to leave the hotel...
They would be killed by the faceless n!
anwhile, the live streaming room was abuzz with discussion.
...
: I just checked out so other players' live streams, and every player in this hotel has a diary like this.
: The faceless man's power increases so quickly, there's no way players can handle the third faceless man!
: Exactly... The first one was almost no threat to the players, and the second one was already very difficult to defeat. The third one...
: Damn... I have no clue at all so far!
: Look, even Zhao Yi is stumped, let alone us...
: I feel like Zhao Yi's first blood will be given to the Tide of Demon Spirits, this secret realm task is just too hellish...
...
After a long silence, Zhao Yi actually smiled.
"Thank you."
He suddenly said to the diary.
Then he grabbed the diary and tossed it into the Shredder.
A piercing scream echoed from the Shredder, spraying out a large amount of blood!
Ring ring ring—
The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang at this mont.
Zhao Yi answered the phone, and countless wails and cries for help ca through, extrely tragic, as if the caller was in a living hell!
Accompanied by severe static noise.
"Zzz..."
"Zzz... bring... zzz..."
"...cara...zzz..."
"Go...zzz...zzz...Kara...asylum...zzz..."
After saying these words, the caller hung up.
A very familiar voice.
So familiar that Zhao Yi couldn't forget it.
Because... it was his own voice!
"This dungeon... is fun!"
Zhao Yi felt a faint excitent as he glanced at the phone—a string of numbers was on the bottom of the landline.
It was the room's phone number.
Nothing else.
Next, he lay quietly on the bed, closed his eyes, and rested.
...
Live streaming room.
: Damn, this rookie ranking number one is just going to sleep now??
: He's starting to do nothing.
: No confidence to beat the faceless man, so he takes out his anger on a diary, what a loser rookie ranking number one!
: I heard people hyping this rookie up recently, thought he was amazing... trash!
: Tsk tsk, the new viewers are too naive... the real show is yet to co!
: By the way, that voice on the phone just now... don't you think it sounded familiar...
...
The next day.
Sa ti.
Sa place.
Ten faceless n kicked the door in simultaneously!
Chainsaws roared!
Killing intent soared!
But this ti, six players were fully prepared, ready for battle!
Just as described in the diary.
The faceless n who ca in today, whether in montum or strength, gave an overwhelming sense of pressure!
After a fierce fight, the players were more or less injured.
In Zhao Yi's room, he dragged a faceless man who had been dismbered, bleeding all over but still alive, to the door.
He stepped out.
Just as he thought.
The air wall... disappeared.
Zhao Yi smiled slightly.
The diary had been hinting all along for players to kill the faceless n.
But it was just a trap!
The faceless man on the first day was the weakest, so the diary existed in a prophetic manner, exploiting the players' cautious mindset, leading them to fulfill the prophecy.
On the second day, under imnse survival pressure and the first day's behavior hint, players naturally thought that only by killing the faceless n could they survive!
But actually... the faceless n were the key for players to leave the room!
Only when the faceless n entered the players' rooms would the air wall disappear.
The hotel's room was a 24-hour cycle.
And when the faceless n died, the cycle reset, and the air wall was reset.
Players would be trapped in the room!
PS: Sorry, everyone!
