Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Light……"

Zhao Yi sat up in bed, feeling the warmth streaming in through the window.

He went to the window and glanced at the clock again.

Zhao Yi seemed to... understand something.

"The time on the wall clock... is wrong."

"From the beginning until now, the clock on the wall has been ticking and it matches my biological clock perfectly, but the light outside the window has not changed at all."

"That is, the sun outside the window did not rise in the east and set in the west."

"The time outside... hasn't changed."

"The only thing that has changed... is time within this hotel."

"But the player cannot leave the hotel... and is therefore imprisoned forever on February 15th."

"No wonder... the system used the word 'arrival'."

"To reach the second day... players must leave this hotel."

His thoughts raced, and Zhao Yi stroked his chin.

Simple imprisonment?

Absolutely impossible!

He was quite certain that the game's system wouldn't be that kind to players.

It will definitely get more and more dangerous from here on out!

After all, the system mission had already stated from the very beginning that players had to "survive" to reach the seventh day.

Ding-dong-

Zhao Yi pondered for a long time until a bell rang.

It's past midnight.

The sunlight outside had dimmed somewhat.

Zhao Yi looked out the window curiously, then suddenly remembered something and immediately went to the desk.

He flipped through the diary and found that the first page was stained with blood, filled with countless curses against Zhao Yi!

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Go to hell!!!

These blood-red words, imbued with intense resentment, directly attacked Zhao Yi's SAN value.

Hmm... but it's all for naught.

In response, Zhao Yi politely pulled a body shredder out of his pants and placed it aside.

"You insulted me?"

"You're finished."

Seeing Zhao Yi wave his hand, about to throw it into the shredder, the diary panicked and fluttered around like a duck!

The text above has also changed.

【I was wrong!】

Brother, spare my life!

Clearly, the diary was well aware of just how terrifying the shredder was.

Zhao Yi thought for a moment:

"Spare your life... well, that's not impossible."

"I'm asking you, how do I leave this hotel?"

Eight words appeared on the page of the diary.

[Kill the third Faceless Man]

The third one?

Zhao Yi slowly placed it back on the desk.

The second page was turned.

Yesterday I could only see the first page, but after the clock was turned 24 hours later, I could see an additional page.

The diary had long since given up resisting, letting Zhao Yi's nimble fingers manipulate its white, fleshy body.

...

[2 month 15 day]

A chainsaw-wielding killer suddenly bursts through the door, attempting to kill you. Although the process is extremely difficult, you successfully defeat it using your exceptional skills...

...

It's February 15th again.

The date remained unchanged, and the content was also largely unchanged.

The only change is that this time the killer seems to be much stronger!

"Is it related to the light?"

Zhao Yi immediately looked out the window.

He realized that his earlier guess was slightly wrong and needed to be corrected.

Players will not be "forever" trapped on day one.

According to the diary, the faceless men who come in later will become stronger and stronger!

If the players don't find a way to leave the hotel soon...

You will be killed by the Faceless Man!

Meanwhile, a lively discussion broke out in the live stream room.

...

I just visited some other players' live streams. Every player in this hotel has a diary like this.

The Faceless Man's strength is increasing so rapidly, there's no way the player could possibly defeat a third Faceless Man!

That's right... The first time it's almost no threat to the player, and the second time the player already has a very difficult time defeating the Faceless Man, so the third time...

I'm completely lost... I have absolutely no clue what to do!

Look, even Zhao Yi is stumped, let alone us...

It feels like Zhao Yi's first blood will be given to the Demon Tide; the secret realm missions are just too awful...

...

After a long silence, Zhao Yi suddenly smiled.

"Thank you."

He suddenly spoke to the diary.

Then he grabbed the diary and threw it into the shredder.

A bloodcurdling scream came from the shredder, and a large amount of blood gushed out!

Ring ring—

The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang at that moment.

When Zhao Yi answered the phone, countless wails and cries for help came from the other end, so tragic and pitiful that it seemed as if the other person was in hell on earth!

It was also accompanied by very loud noise.

"Sizzle..."

"Zzz...take it...zzzz..."

"...Camera...buzz..."

"Go...zzzz...zzzz...kara...asylum...zzzz..."

After saying those words, the other party hung up the phone.

A very familiar voice.

So familiar that Zhao Yi could never forget it.

Because... that was his own voice!

"This dungeon...is fun!"

Zhao Yi felt a surge of excitement. He glanced at the phone—there was a phone number on the bottom of the landline.

That was the room's landline phone.

That's all.

Next, he lay quietly on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

...

Studio.

Damn, this top newcomer is already sleeping in??

It means they've started to give up.

Lacking confidence in defeating No-Face, he vented his anger on a newbie ranked number one in the diary—a complete scumbag!

I heard them bragging about this newcomer a while ago, and I thought he was amazing... Trash!

Tsk tsk, the new viewers are so naive... The real show is yet to come!

Speaking of that voice on the phone just now... didn't it sound familiar to you guys...?

...

the next day.

At the same time.

The same location.

Ten faceless men kicked the door open and burst in at the same time!

The chainsaw roared!

A murderous aura filled the air!

This time, however, all six players were well-prepared and ready for battle!

Exactly as described in the diary.

The faceless man who came in today was extremely intimidating, both in terms of his aura and his strength!

After the exchange, all the players sustained injuries to varying degrees.

Inside Zhao Yi's room, he dragged the faceless man, whose limbs had been severed and who was covered in blood but was still alive, to the doorway.

Take a step.

Just as he expected.

The invisible wall... disappeared.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

The diary kept hinting to the player from the very beginning that they should kill the Faceless Man.

However, this was just a trap!

The Faceless Man is the weakest on the first day, so the diary exists as a prophecy, taking advantage of the player's cautious nature to make the player fulfill the prophecy.

On the second day, under intense pressure to survive, and influenced by the actions of the first day, the player naturally believed that only by killing the Faceless Man could they survive!

But actually... the Faceless Man is the key for players to leave the room!

The invisible wall will only disappear after the faceless man enters the player's room.

The hotel rooms are rotated 24 hours a day.

When the Faceless Man dies, the cycle resets, and the invisible wall is also reset.

The player is trapped and dies inside the room!

VB

P.S.: Sorry, guys!

I'm too slow because some clues have to be added as I write them...

I'll organize the details tonight and write these two chapters. I'll make up for it with four more updates tomorrow!

Feel sorry!!!

Happy Lantern Festival!

Study hard!

good night!
