Question Mark Space
[The next day]
Luo Di woke up on a sofa, wearing only a pair of trousers and covered with a blanket of feathers formed from ravens.
Buzz!
Even though I felt like I had slept for a long time, I still had a strong ringing in my ears when I woke up.
Several blurry memories, tinged with alcohol, flashed through my mind.
Yesterday, when the class monitor and I left the Hot Spring and were having fun in the rest area of True Death Game, Hua Yuan, who seemed to have been following us, also joined us.
However, the trip for three did not go smoothly.
Luo Di won the obstacle course game, he became known to all the viewers and often encountered monsters in the rest area who came over to greet him, take photos with him, or even make perverted requests.
In this situation, it's impossible to have fun properly; even eating will result in being surrounded.
In the end, they had no choice but to pack their dinner up and take it home.
During the Death Grand Gauntlet game, the four sisters booked a luxury suite here. Adding Luo Di wouldn't be a problem at all, and there aren't any extra rooms available now.
When I returned to the house with the takeout food, Yu Lu and Juan were already inside, and they were carrying two whole boxes of "Dream Returning Wine," a specialty of the City of Sin.
The members of the sorority buy alcohol whenever they stay overnight in the "City of Sin." This alcohol can transport people to a deep dream state, allowing the body to completely relax, and even the Pituitary Plant is benefited.
Luo Di considered himself to have a good alcohol tolerance, but after one drink, his memory became hazy.
Now, Luo Di's body is completely relaxed. The tension from the Death Grand Gauntlet and the disharmony from being stripped of the question mark have all disappeared, as if his whole being has been "reset".
The scene before him made even Luo Di, who wasn't usually shy about such things, instinctively look away.
Yu Lu was like a specimen without bones or internal organs, casually thrown on the ground. The closest person even had a hand resting on the sofa.
As for the other Three Sisters, they were all sleeping in bed.
Hua Yuan held Wu Wen tightly, their bodies pressed together, her hands positioned somewhat awkwardly.
Juan, whose appearance is similar to that of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, is positioned slightly below the two Girl, with her head wrapped between their calves.
The more Luo Di stared at the scene before him, which was about to be censored, the clearer his memory became.
He doesn't seem to be a key participant, but rather an observer...
He shook his head violently, trying to forget what happened last night and treat it as a hangover.
A gurgling sound came from my stomach, a typical feeling of hunger.
It's still early.
Luo Di can go get something to eat first, and then go find Mr. Question Mark after the others wake up.
The rest area of the True Death Game is like a large complex, with everything in it.
Most of the services here are free until 2 p. m. today.
Luo Di arrived at the cafeteria area, picked up a bowl of special fried fish noodles, and was about to put the noodles into his mouth when his eyes noticed a piece of red chili floating on the surface of the soup.
As this splash of red appeared, I quickly caught a glimpse of another splash of red in a corner of the cafeteria.
The color completely killed Luo Di's appetite, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
The red color, which was in the corner of my eye, began to slowly approach.
This time, Luo Di didn't close his eyes; instead, he looked over on his own initiative.
Snap!
A pair of pale hands put down the plate, which was piled high with braised beef. The red pieces of meat even seemed to twitch and pulsate slightly, and the stripes on the surface formed a smiley face.
The clown actually came looking for him.
He sat at the same table as Luo Di.
He didn't say a word, but kept stuffing pieces of meat into his mouth, chewing with disgusting sounds.
This is Mr. Question Mark's territory. The Joker can't do anything to threaten Luo Di, but he can still have regular meals and get close to him.
Luo Di didn't say anything either, just looked at the other person quietly, and then got up and changed seats.
The sound of chewing meat didn't disappear at all.
The clown moved almost in sync with him, then approached again with a tray of food.
Luo Di moved his eating spot again, but the situation remained the same; the Joker followed him closely, never leaving his side.
Even without doing anything, Luo Di was still restless and uneasy, vaguely sensing that the other party's deep red aura would seep in unseen ways.
When Luo Di decided to compromise and prepared to pack the noodles to take back to his dorm,
A familiar sound of footsteps approached, accompanied by the sound of ropes tightening.
Snap!
Four plates were placed down at the same time, corresponding to the arrival of four diners.
The dining table was quite small, yet it was packed with six people.
The noise Luo Di made when he left the guest room woke Yu Lu up, and the three people on the bed were also awakened. Before long, they all arrived at the buffet restaurant.
current,
The four sisters looked at the clown with different expressions and blocked his escape route with their bodies.
Hua Yuan was the most furious of them all. Seeing this person reminded him of the destroyed Flower Garden, and he was filled with rage. However, considering the location, he could only suppress his anger.
The clown, trapped inside, calmly ate the last piece of meat.
Instead of wiping away the grease and soup stains around his mouth, he reached directly into his pocket.
The women also became wary, worried that this madman might dare to make a move on Mr. Question Mark Mark's turf. However, what he pulled out of his pocket wasn't anything dangerous, but a stack of business cards.

After distributing the event tickets to the four sisters, the clown turned his gaze to Luo Di across the table, grinned, and handed him a ticket.
Seeing that Luo Di didn't intend to take it, the clown placed the event ticket under Roddy's plate.
After completing all this, he made a gesture of surrender. Once the sisters made some space, he immediately slipped out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Encountering this so early in the morning was somewhat nauseating, but Luo Di was alright; on the contrary, he sensed another kind of murderous intent emerging.
Two different kinds of murderous intent lurked among the four sisters.
One is Hua Yuan's outward killing intent, which seeks to invade everything.
There was also a deeply hidden, subtle killing intent that only a serial killer like Luo Di could sense, almost transforming into a sharp blade to pierce the Joker's back.
Luo Di turned his gaze to the amusement park tickets hidden under the plate.
"Tool Construction"
The miniature Iron Maiden carefully put away the ticket, thinking it might come in handy later. Even if the ticket pointed to a trap set by the Joker, it was at least related to the Joker.
The sisters also stored it away in different ways, whether they actually used it or not is another matter.
The meal is over.
Juan stood up early and made a farewell gesture. "You guys should be going to see Mr. Question Mark, right? I'm going to relax in the massage area first. Remember to call me when you're done so we can go back together."
Is Wu Wen going with us? You probably can't go either.
"I can go! I submitted a meeting request yesterday and it was approved."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
With Juan's departure,
Three women and one man were led by a waiter to a special elevator. The elevator door was covered with question marks on green tape.
It seemed the question mark itself could identify the visitors, as the elevator doors opened as they approached. Strangely, there were no control panels inside the elevator car, but instead, there were handrails similar to those on a bus.
The four people entered the elevator and began to move quickly.
This is a chaotic movement that can make people lose their sense of direction. Even the monsters gradually lost their balance and were forced to grab onto the hanging rings at the top.
Buzz!
The elevator car suddenly slowed down to zero, and the elevator doors opened!
I thought it would be some special office... Boom! A loud clap of thunder.
Even though they were inside a building, what they saw was an outdoor wasteland.
A closer look reveals that the lightning rolling between the clouds takes on a question mark shape, and the wild grass and withered trees growing here also bear more or less question mark structures.
"Corner Space?"
Luo Di quickly came up with the idea of a Pseudo-Human's ability.
Wu Wen responded, "This is a high-level presentation of Corner Space, a technique employed by Mr. Question Mark."
This is his personal domain. Once we step inside, if he wants us dead, we'll die very quickly, even faster than you, Luo Di, died in the game.
"Custom game space?" Although Luo Di hadn't played many video games, he still knew some of the basic concepts.
Following the directions given by the question mark, the group proceeded for about a kilometer until a Victorian-era mansion came into view.
The entire mansion was covered in question marks painted in yellow paint, from the main gate and walls to the windows.
It seems that if anyone wants to take Mr. Question Mark's life, even if they come here, they will need to solve layers of puzzles to see the true nature of the mansion.
The door opened.
The first-generation zombie, Jia Wen we'd already seen, was dressed in a White suit waiting at the door, gesturing for everyone to enter. His gaze, in particular, flickered with a fleeting desire to infect Luo Di.
