Let's give space a touch of Chinese horror!

What might be inside the wardrobe?

Xu Zhang's body became incredibly stiff at that moment.

All his senses were condensed into this darkness of less than one cubic meter.

The air was thick with the musty smell of the closet and the camphor scent of old clothes; the soft, shallow breathing filled the air; and before my eyes was—

and many more!

Xu Zhang's hair stood on end instantly, and his scalp felt like it was about to explode.

The soft sound of breathing beside my ear...

He had already held his breath because of Xiao Qi's approach, so—

Where is that breathing sound coming from inside the closet?!

Xu Zhang's mind went blank for a moment, and his blood seemed to freeze.

But the extremely faint yet exceptionally clear breathing sound still drifted slowly from his side.

"Hiss... Huff..."

"Hiss... Huff..."

It was pounding on his nerves, one beat after another.

Xu Zhang stood frozen in place, not daring to make any move, not even daring to move his eyes, for fear that he might accidentally touch something he shouldn't touch, or accidentally glimpse something he shouldn't see out of the corner of his eye.

Anyway... Xiao Qi has left, so he doesn't have to hide in the closet anymore, right?

After all, pretending to know nothing and hiding like this is not a solution; because he could clearly hear that breathing sound that did not belong to him, slowly approaching him.

While trying to convince himself, Xu Zhang mustered his courage and attempted to move his stiff body to push open the wardrobe door.

He moved his body carefully, keeping his eyes straight ahead, and slowly approached the wardrobe door.

Just as he slightly raised his arm, his fingertips finally touching the wardrobe door, Xu Zhang suddenly heard the sound of wind beside his ear—

From his side, from the dark shadows he had never seen before and dared not see clearly, a pair of hands suddenly reached out without warning.

A pair of hands with long, slender fingers, prominent knuckles, and sharp nails.

With unimaginable speed, like the steel jaws of a bear trap, it snapped shut on Xu Zhang's neck with a swift, precise, and deadly "click," holding on tightly and refusing to let go.

"Well--!"

The short, muffled groan was abruptly cut off in his throat.

Those fingers were hard and cold like iron clamps, with astonishing strength. The nails dug deep into the flesh, almost crushing Xu Zhang's throat.

A feeling of suffocation surged over him like a tsunami, and his vision suddenly went black, with stars appearing everywhere.

Xu Zhang tried to struggle, but the hand on his neck had already extinguished all his strength to resist.

His fingers scratched futilely on the inside of the wardrobe door, trying to push it open to let more air in, but all he could do was make a desperate scraping sound; he then tried to kick it with his legs, slamming his heels hard against the door.

The wardrobe door, which was originally easy to open, now felt incredibly heavy, with only a dull "thud" echoing in the cramped space, which was met with an even fiercer grip from those hands.

The cold, damp breath had somehow gotten behind Xu Zhang and was now right next to his ear, exhaling icy air.

His neck began to wail in pain, and dark red spots started to appear at the edges of his vision.

The crack in the door, letting in a faint light, was right in front of him, yet it became a distant place that Xu Zhang could never reach. He could only stare intently at that crack.

It was at this moment that Xu Zhang suddenly noticed the door number on the door that he hadn't seen before.

And it says above—

"604".

604!

It's a 604 error!

Xu Zhang never expected that his luck would be so bad that the house he randomly chose while fleeing for his life turned out to be Xiao Qi's house in the promotional video!

No wonder Xiao Qi got in so easily.

No wonder Xiao Qi's ball entered the room so familiarly.

No wonder Xiao Qi left without hesitation after learning that he had hidden in the closet.

—Because that's his home.

No one knew better than him what was in the room.

Whenever he thought of this, Xu Zhang couldn't help but curse his bad luck in his heart.

Especially when he was being choked and slowly suffocated, Xu Zhang really thought he was going to die in the game.

Fortunately... a game is just a game after all.

On this trip, not only did they fail to retrieve anything from the game in red, wasting so much time, they were also forced to experience the fear of death.

Xu Zhang cursed under his breath, then looked at the administrative staff beside him: "Where is everyone else?"

He was asking about other senior executives.

Although this gaming experience was... extremely unpleasant, now that he's back, he still needs to hold a meeting to summarize and review the experience with the others.

For example, how to "absorb" the advantages of other games and avoid their disadvantages.

Especially the game with the red-clad character, the magical technology that makes people forget about walkthroughs they've found elsewhere actually exists—he has to report this!

Although he failed this time, it doesn't mean they've given up.

If it doesn't work the first time, try again!

This time, their preparation was insufficient, and they lacked a clear understanding of the game played by the woman in red, which led to their defeat. Once they are fully prepared, he refuses to believe they will fail again!

Besides, he lost face so badly in the game this time, he has to get his revenge.

At the very least, he needs to cause some trouble for the woman in red before he can feel satisfied!

After listening to his words, the administrative staff member stammered, "Um... Mr. Xu, the other general managers are currently having a meeting in the main conference room."

Xu Zhang: "?"

Meetings that need to be held in the main conference room are usually quite important, but the question is... why not wait for him?! Was he fired from management?

Regarding this, the administrative staff felt quite wronged: "President Xu, I called you back then..." But for some reason, no matter how much she patted and called out to Xu Zhang, he remained engrossed in the game and showed no intention of quitting.

The other high-ranking officials assumed that Xu Zhang was at a crucial juncture, so they did not insist that he quit. They simply left someone to wait on the sidelines so that they could notify him immediately after he quit the game.

"Because this incident... is quite serious and urgent, the other managers didn't wait for you..."

"What exactly happened?"

"Ah..." The administrative staff member cautiously glanced at Xu Zhang's expression before slowly saying, "It's that 'New World' where the woman in red is..."

"They...they seem to have openly declared war on us."

Xu Zhang: "???"
