Chapter Thirteen: Dear Sister, Brother Is Here to Help You Again

Page 1/3

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Wan couldn’t help but frown.

As expected... with the passage of time in the instance, the restrictions on the anomaly were weakening.

Now, the anomaly had learned to open doors.

This was extremely deadly for the players.

The pale-faced "Chen Weiyu" slowly stepped into the room, her eyes filled with a murderous frenzy.

A terrifying, dark aura was unleashed in the room without restraint.

Yet, just as "Chen Weiyu" entered, ready to unleash slaughter, she suddenly froze—because the room was empty.

Next door, room 104, Lin Xi’s room.

Bai Wan, Liu Tong, and Zhang Wen were all crowded together, listening intently to the sounds from the adjacent room, their expressions wary.

"Hiss... the anomaly really learned to open doors. That’s terrifying. How did you figure it out, Bai Wan?" Zhang Wen took a deep breath, glancing at the unusual young man in front of him who carried a photo on his back.

"I’m only guessing," Bai Wan replied. "After all, during the day the anomaly almost revealed itself. In such a situation, it’s hard for her to disguise herself as a human to kill. So maybe at night, she gains other abilities. After all, the game is nearing its end."

Bai Wan was startled when he saw the anomaly open the door.

He had trapped the anomaly inside the wall for over two days, clearly generating a lot of hatred.

Therefore, the anomaly would most likely come knocking at night.

Facing an unknown anomaly, it was too unwise to stay in the room.

So, when Chen Weiyu entered, they followed their plan and quietly slipped into Lin Xi’s room to hide.

This also allowed them to observe what changes the anomaly might exhibit.

Using Bai Wan’s empty room as bait, they could further analyze the anomaly’s current killing patterns.

Bai Wan glanced at the clock. It was exactly midnight.

It seemed the anomaly began killing after 12 o’clock.

"One good thing is, the anomaly can’t tell if a room is occupied or not, or it wouldn’t have been fooled. The bad news is, it has awakened the ability to open doors, which is quite dangerous," Liu Tong frowned.

If it could open doors, it meant there was no longer a safe house.

Of course, the anomaly wouldn’t open all doors at once.

Otherwise, they’d be wiped out immediately.

So, there must still be limits.

What remained unknown was how many times the anomaly could open doors in one night.

If just twice...

Then tonight would still be unsafe.

However, Bai Wan’s suggestion to hide in Lin Xi’s room was indeed a bold idea.

Liu Tong couldn’t help but look at the somewhat neurotic young man beside him.

Now that the anomaly had door-opening ability, it still didn’t know where everyone was.

The unoccupied Lin Xi’s room had become a blind spot.

The anomaly would definitely prioritize rooms with people.

The key point was determining whether the anomaly could sense if someone was inside.

Based on previous experience, it couldn’t, or it wouldn’t have eavesdropped.

Therefore, hiding in Lin Xi’s already-deceased room was the best option.

Interesting.

When Liu Tong heard Bai Wan suggest hiding in room 104, he understood Bai Wan’s logic.

The seemingly mad youth was actually very logical.

Such a person was the one who could go far in the anomaly game.

Bai Wan was furiously thinking, all the information converging in his mind like when he once played chess.

He enjoyed the feeling of outwitting his opponent move by move.

"Bro, can I borrow your phone?" Bai Wan suddenly asked Liu Tong.

"What do you need it for?" Liu Tong asked, curious.

Bai Wan picked up the phone with a smile. "I even prepared a gift for the anomaly. Hope it likes it."

Then, he started dialing a number.

Ding!

The phone in the next room suddenly rang.

Liu Tong and Zhang Wen’s faces changed.

Bai Wan... actually called the anomaly? Is he crazy?

"Chen Weiyu" was wandering aimlessly in the room. Just as she prepared to leave for the next room, a sound came from inside the cabinet.

"Let’s play King of Glory," a voice came from inside the cabinet.

The voice froze "Chen Weiyu" in place—it was her own voice!

Bai Wan, phone in hand, squinted at the anomaly’s room in the distance.

During the day, when "Chen Weiyu" wasn’t paying attention, he secretly recorded her voice and set it as the ringtone.

If the anomaly’s killing rule was that after midnight, upon hearing the voice, it kills the owner of that voice... then what if the voice was its own?

"Checkmate," Bai Wan smiled, raising his hand before slowly lowering it.

...

"Chen Weiyu’s" face darkened as she reached out her left hand to open the cabinet, but her right hand uncontrollably clutched her own throat.

Her outstretched left hand retracted.

"Chen Weiyu’s" eyes were filled with great resentment.

If she opened the cabinet and found the phone inside, her killing rule wouldn’t trigger.

Because it targeted living beings, not inanimate objects.

But... since she heard her own voice, the killing rule was triggered, forcing her to attack herself.

This left her powerless to open the cabinet.

It was like Schrödinger’s cat.

Without opening the cabinet, she couldn’t confirm there was a phone inside—even if she knew it in her heart.

After Bai Wan explained everything, Liu Tong and Zhang Wen stared blankly at him.

Impressive.

So all this was a trap set for the anomaly?

Everything was designed to lure it in, ultimately trapping it in Bai Wan’s carefully arranged snare.

Then, they watched Bai Wan sprint out of the room, heading straight for the anomaly’s location.

Could it be...

Liu Tong had a guess and followed, with Zhang Wen close behind.

Bai Wan ran to the door where the anomaly was.

Seeing "Chen Weiyu" powerless because she was strangling herself, he said with concern, "Don’t panic, little sister. Brother is coming to save you."

Then he decisively swiped his hand across the door, which slowly began to disappear.

"Chen Weiyu," unable to move, stared at her dear brother with a vengeful gaze, helplessly watching the door turn back into a wall.

Captured again!

The whole place fell silent.

Liu Tong and Zhang Wen were stunned by the scene.

The anomaly... was trapped inside the wall again?

Such a terrifying ability—to actually turn doors into walls?

Bai Wan breathed a sigh of relief after succeeding.

Then he waited for the system notification.

Hopefully, they wouldn’t release patch 3.0 now—that would be shameless.

After more than ten minutes, the system reluctantly sent a notification.
