Chapter 21
If this is true, Ding Qi and Zhou Yun came to the B&B pretending not to know each other. Zhou Yun even found someone to share a room with, just to search for other players. Sneaky, right?
They didn’t kill anyone, but did they attract the evil spirits? It seemed like they were causing trouble just by being there.
Last night, only she was targeted on the second floor. Compared to the chaos on the third floor, the second floor was quiet. It was clear that the third floor was where the real action was.
Werewolves kill! Or at least, that's how it felt. The game was adding new rules to make it even harder to win.
But there’s one thing she doesn’t get: How did Zhou Yun and Ding Qi avoid being targets of the evil spirits?
Ye Nianchu lay in bed, her eyes heavy. After a night of high tension, she was exhausted. Sleepiness hit her like a freight train. She needed rest, or she’d be a mess.
She had to protect herself from both evil spirits and people. Tonight would be another tough battle. No rest for the wicked—or in this case, the players.

In the afternoon, the sky was dark, and the corridor lights flickered on. Daiyong Town felt like a ghost town, complete with an eerie, dead atmosphere. It looked like something out of an old horror movie.
The third floor of the B&B was silent, with dried and blackened blood marking the walls. Ding Qi and Zhou Yun stood by the stairs, plotting their next move.
“This B&B is ours now. If we find one more player, this round will end early,” Zhou Yun said with a self-assured smile. She was feeling pretty confident.
This was their victory in the making. The remaining players wouldn’t make it to the seventh day. It was like they were already planning their victory party.
Ding Qi said, “The new rules are interesting.” He sounded like he was really into the game’s new twists.
“Wang Hai seems to be from the Shadow Alliance,” Zhou Yun noted, trying to figure out everyone’s alliances.
“He’s not a core member. No one will care if he fails,” Ding Qi said dismissively. It was clear he didn’t think much of Wang Hai.
“I think the two people on the second floor are strange,” Zhou Yun commented, clearly puzzled by their behavior.
“The game is in its fourth day. Last night, this B&B was a major target. Ordinary people would have packed up and left by now,” Ding Qi agreed. It was like everyone should have known better than to stay.
In the afternoon, a boy sat on the terrace, drawing. It was odd to see someone still calmly drawing after all the chaos. Maybe he was just trying to keep his cool.
The boy’s behavior hinted he might be hiding something. Maybe he was a top player with some unique tricks up his sleeve.
“Let’s observe for now. We should avoid provoking him. If he’s really a top player, we can’t afford to mess with him,” Ding Qi advised. He was worried about losing his chance to win. Testing the boy might be too risky.
Zhou Yun nodded vaguely, a brief flash of something in her eyes. She seemed to be considering her options.
If there is a top player, there’s no need to cooperate with Ding Qi. It might be smarter to team up with someone more powerful.

Ye Nianchu woke up, feeling hungry. The room was dark, and it was probably afternoon. She reached for the light switch, and the lights flickered like they were having a mid-life crisis.
