Can't Escape

Day Six.

"19 Death Game Players dead, 6 survivors remaining."

After the number of player deaths surged once, it had finally reached a lull, with no increase.

As usual, after getting up, Yimo habitually went to peek into Zhenling's room and found that she had already woken up early.

At that moment, though, she was curled up under the covers, clutching them with both hands like a kitten. Only her little head showed as she stared blankly out the window at the dim morning sky.

Yimo thought for a moment, then finally called out, "Zhenling, I'm heading out."

Hearing him, Zhenling turned her head and nodded obediently, then couldn't help reminding him, "Brother Sakamoto... um... the Shaman really does pray for rain every year..."

"And after she prays for rain, it really does pour..."

"But, you know, we have weather forecasts now. I suspect she deliberately picks the days right before heavy rain to pray..."

"So if you have some kind of plan, don't rely too much on the Shaman!"

The town's deaths had already reached this point, and Zhenling had truly pinned all her hopes on Yimo. She didn't want him to make a mistake at a crucial moment.

Yimo only smiled faintly. "It's just an extra guarantee. We've already got People's Harmony and Geographical Advantage, but I want to try for Heavenly Timing too, since it's something you can only get by chance."

"All right, there's nothing you need to do today, so stay home and rest. I'll keep you company and play chess when I'm done. Yesterday was tiring too, so don't go outside. The town is very dangerous now."

After hearing Yimo, Zhenling nodded obediently.

After leaving, Yimo planned to go find the Shaman, but unexpectedly ran into Du Yu along the way.
