Xia Xiaoqin opened her eyes wide in fear and suddenly pulled out her only weapon from her bosom.

"Don't come any closer!"

Gripping the cold handle of the butterfly knife tightly, the girl raised the knife, her hands trembling.

She doesn't want to die here! Absolutely not!

Just then, Xia Xiaoqin suddenly heard a sound like an electric short circuit.

Sizzle—sizzle—

The world suddenly shook violently as if it were collapsing.

Xia Xiaoqin was so frightened that she grabbed the scattered stools next to her. In the images flashing through her mind, she saw a camera, as if in a hallucination, right in front of her.

"What?!"

Xia Xiaoqin stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

How could such a modern camera be found in the old-fashioned Lu family mansion?

Just then, Xia Xiaoqin heard a soft chuckle.

Chi Chi!

A low, hoarse laugh flashed by, like the sound of incense ash being extinguished.

Then, as the world spun around him, the tall figure slowly approached, bringing his cool, thin lips close to the girl's ear, whispering with a cruel languor, as if it were a hallucination.

"Darling, this is my reward for you guessing correctly."

"Let's play a game. Guess who the real Lu Yang is?"

The vibration stopped abruptly the moment the words were spoken.

Xia Xiaoqin sat on the ground, covered in cold sweat.

The death livestream uses incense as a catalyst; when the incense burns out, the person dies. To end the livestream, simply turn off the camera, and everything will be over.

The camera must have been left on in the chaos that day.

If the camera in front of you is the same one from that day, then turning it off will end the rules, and the man in front of you will disappear!

Xia Xiaoqin's breathing became rapid as she realized what the man meant by "reward".

But the next second, the tall figure slowly tightened his grip on her wrist.

The system issued an urgent alarm.

【drop! 】

[The A-grade item, the Blessing Bell, has been severely damaged and is now unusable!]

"But you can't cheat in this game."

The man's voice disappeared in the howling, eerie wind.

Xia Xiaoqin listened intently to the sounds around her, and vaguely heard rustling noises.

stab-

The camera screen flashed white light, then revealed a pair of bloody hands.

As the bloodstains meandered, a hideous Lu Yang slowly crawled out of the small wooden door inside the house.

He was panting heavily, his eyes wide, when he saw the camera.

"What?"

Before he could even feel the joy of being alive, a voice came from his side.

"Xia Xiaoqin, save me! I'm Lu Yang! That monster replaced me during the three-legged race! Save me!"

Lu Yang stared wide-eyed at the source of the cries for help.

Not far away, an extremely tall figure stood silently in the corner.

The tall silhouette was like a dark abyss, its features indistinct in the shadows.

But he smiled at Lu Yang, raised a pale, almost transparent finger, and held it in front of his mouth.

"Shh,"

Lu Yang's face turned deathly pale.

He dared not breathe as he watched the figure continue to call for help from Xia Xiaoqin.

"Xia Xiaoqin, save me... I'm injured!"

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin froze.

She dared not move.

But Lu Yang's voice rang out from a completely different direction.

"Xia Xiaoqin, don't believe him! He's the monster from before! Help me! It was him, he's the one who knocked me out!"

Xia Xiaoqin stared wide-eyed, listening incredulously to Lu Yang's voices coming from two different directions.

What exactly happened?

Is this what they call a game?!

But in the darkness, a large, pale hand reached out from the ground toward her, its voice filled with panting.

Xia Xiaoqin was startled.

But the other party's tone was mournful.

"Xiaoqin, listen to me, that wasn't me, it was a monster... the monster you summoned disguised itself as me. I am Lu Yang!"

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin's breathing became rapid.

She immediately retorted, "You...you say you're Lu Yang, then let me touch your face."

The real Lu Yang has no face; only that monster possesses a perfectly intact skin.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqin squatted down and stretched out her hand.

But the next second she was stunned, because the man lying on the ground really did not have a face.

"Xia Xiaoqin! It's me, Lu Yang!"

The voice sounded again, low and hoarse.

Xia Xiaoqin hugged him tightly, her voice warm and affectionate: "Lu Yang! You're alive! How are you?! Where did that monster go?!"

Sizzle—Sizzle—

The static crackled again, and the camera lying on the ground lit up faintly once more, flashing white light.

In the shot, Lu Yang, who is being held, has a face that is writhing and congealed into a bloody mess, as if he has no skin, and he curls up the corners of his lips.

"Here he is, Xiaoqin. He suddenly collapsed to the ground for some reason."

As he spoke, the man gently pulled her up with his large, warm hand and led her forward, then gestured for Xia Xiaoqin to touch it.

As Xia Xiaoqin bent down, her palm actually touched the monster's hair and face.

The monster, which had been so at ease just moments before, was now trembling violently.

Lu Yang's slightly cool, thin lips brushed against her ear, whispering softly as if it were a hallucination.

"Let's kill it together and eliminate this threat forever, Xia Xiaoqin."

"I see you have a knife in your hand. I've heard Zhao Dafeng talk about that knife. It's a knife that can kill monsters from the world of ghost stories. Let's make our move together."

With a hoarse, labored breath, the monster on the ground reached out and grabbed Xia Xiaoqin's trouser leg, letting out a shrill, inhuman scream: "Don't kill me! Xia Xiaoqin! I'm Lu Yang! The one next to you is a monster! Please save me! What I said to you before was just said in anger. We've always loved each other! If you don't believe me, touch my face!"

Xia Xiaoqin was so frightened that she kicked the other person away.

But from beneath his feet, that extremely hoarse voice continued to resound mournfully.

"Xia Xiaoqin, I'm telling the truth! Don't listen to him, if I die, you're finished too! Touch my face!"

Xia Xiaoqin's fingers trembled as she stubbornly reached out her hand.

She froze.

This Lu Yang has no shame.

"What's going on? What happened?!"

Xia Xiaoqin is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Sizzle—Sizzle—

But just then, the crackling sound of electricity rang out again.

In the darkness, the tall figure appeared more relaxed, with a hint of barely perceptible danger, as he slowly raised the girl's hand and kissed her palm.

"Darling, do you believe what this monster on the ground is saying?"
