You Will Die Tonight
Outside the door, after using up all the bubbles in the Bubble Machine, Tao Yuan finally felt that her internal organs were no longer in so much pain, and she had once again saved her life.
It's been so long, why hasn't the neighbor across the hall made a sound?
Tao Yuan waited for a while and noticed that room 303 was unusually quiet. She cautiously peeked inside and could only see that the eerie atmosphere in room 303 seemed to be trying to attack the young man, but the young man in the Wheelchair did not seem to be fighting back.
She quickly walked to the young man in the Wheelchair, and before she could even ask if he needed help, she saw him write down a note that read "Died from the backlash of the Rules" and casually toss it aside.
The next moment, 303's bizarre body began to shatter inch by inch, with a constant cracking sound, like paper being repeatedly cut by a knife, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
The harsh scraping sound only gradually disappeared when his entire body was swallowed by the dark cracks and he became shattered pieces of black and white paper scattered on the ground.
Holy crap, what kind of ruthless person is this?
[Is this what you call weak? Can a weak person really control such a powerful Weird Object?]
Look at his hands! He's part of the organization!
No wonder he's so amazing.
[Great, Tao Yuan is saved! The strangeness here is too bizarre. What level was that thing that just died? People can die just by writing? This is outrageous!]
[The Authorities are currently conducting a close analysis.]
[Didn't you guys see the 304 players' posts? They encountered this weird thing around noon today, and the weird thing said they were nothing special, but the words they wrote had no effect. I was curious about what was going on.]
[Here he comes! This new member of the organization seems just as approachable as Bai Yang. He must be a good person, right?]
[He's so approachable even under the Moonlit Night, why don't you say he's a good person?]
[Why does this person seem a bit crazy yet also kind?]
Having dealt with their number one enemy, the Writer was in a very good mood. He looked at Tao Yuan, pointed to the note 303 had just written for her in her hand, and then beckoned her with his finger.
Tao Yuan immediately understood and handed him the note.
"Thank you for saving me. Were you also sent by your boss?" Tao Yuan asked.
The Writer nodded and wrote:
[Ji Fengbai, or you can call me by my pseudonym: Writer, either is fine.]
"Hello, Ji Fengbai." Tao Yuan looked at the note in his hand and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
Ji Fengbai nodded, added a sentence after 303 predicting her death, and then returned the paper to her.
[The 303 Rules text will not disappear because of his death; it still applies to you.]
Whether you can survive this or not depends on you.
After he finished writing, he gestured for him to leave.
Tao Yuan clenched the note tightly with her fingers, and thanked him again with a solemn expression.
The door to room 303 was closed.
Ji Fengbai was a latecomer and had nowhere to stay in this Instance, so he wasn't really a participant. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to grab a place to stay.
He killed 303 and took over his identity and abilities.
Moreover, this room is the closest to the True Form of all the Vest, so when there's nothing to do, you can use the excuse of being a neighbor to visit the True Form.
Meanwhile, Tao Yuan had already gone back to her room with the note in her hand to fix the door.
She still has to live here. Even though the door was perfectly fine, strange things managed to break in, let alone something broken.
The repair hammer automatically clanged and banged on the door, while Tao Yuan sat on the sofa, letting the Bubble Machine blow bubbles while looking at the note, and turned on all the lights in the room.
Even though she wasn't afraid of the dark, her recent experience had left her with a bit of a phobia of it.
[The beautiful pink-haired lady who loves to apologize and then call the police, you will die tonight. You will die at the hands of a lady who loves pets.]
But if we find the right direction, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Tao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't think about whether this Ji Fengbai had the ability to destroy the note, whether he deliberately left it to let her fend for herself, or whether he intentionally wanted to watch her struggle for death. But she was grateful for his help this time.
She wouldn't choose to run away. Since the note had given her a glimmer of hope, she couldn't possibly hide at home and never go out.
Moreover, the room wasn't safe either; she remembered one of the Rules was that the neighbor in 304 was hostile towards her.
To this day, she still doesn't know who lives in 304. Tonight, there's been a lot of clanging and banging outside, like they're about to demolish a house, but there's been no sound from across the street.
Her identity seems likely to easily provoke hostility from others.
A single, independent, and financially secure beautiful woman is most likely to be the subject of gossip and targeted by others.
Realizing this, Tao Yuan became somewhat agitated.
I glanced at the time; it was 11:20.
She had made a pact with Qin Rang and Wang Ding, but given her current situation, it was best not to implicate them.
The note said, "Find the right direction." But what exactly does "the right direction" mean?
Thinking this, Tao Yuan used up all the bubbles that were generated again, and most of her injuries were healed.
After checking the state of her Weird Object, she resolutely went out.
The mysterious 302 died at her hands, and the mysterious 303 was also a member of the organization. Now, the only one to worry about on the third floor is 304.
This was definitely good news for Tao Yuan. The number of strange occurrences she had to be wary of had greatly decreased, and as long as she returned safely tonight, her floor would be relatively safe from then on.
When she arrived at the elevator, Tao Yuan hesitated. She hadn't dared to take the elevator before, but Ji Fengbai had just come up in the elevator. If she took the elevator down, she would most likely avoid encountering other strange things on the stairs.
After staring at the seemingly safe elevator for a while and thinking it over, Tao Yuan decided to take the stairs. The danger on the stairs was more controllable.
The staircase was dark and dilapidated at night. It seemed as if pairs of eyes were watching her from the shadows at every turn. But as she approached, motion-sensor lights came on, dispelling the feeling of being watched.
But once the lights behind me went out, the feeling of being watched returned.
She didn't encounter anyone as she walked down to the second floor. Tao Yuan kept her head down and walked quickly until she saw a pair of feet wearing exquisite high heels on the last step of the first floor, at which point she slowed down.
"Miss Tao Yuan, are you still going out so late?"
The other person's voice was strange; it didn't sound like a human could make it. Instead, it sounded more like a mechanical voice from some kind of electronic device.
Tao Yuan looked up and was face to face with a Camerahead flashing red light.
Her face contorted for a moment, and she almost lost her composure.
She has a human body and head, but her facial features are replaced by a giant Camerahead. Her hair is tangled with messy wires and sockets, and electricity flows through her hair, giving her an inhuman, mechanical look.
The red light on the Camerahead flashed, as if behind that Camerahead, countless eyes were staring at Tao Yuan through this medium, trying to see through her every thought and misinterpret her every move.
Tao Yuan sensed extreme danger emanating from her.
