You Can Only Have Me as Your Friend

Wow! That sounds really reasonable.

"You're so clever!"

"Hey handsome, can I get your contact information? Let's play together for the second playthrough next time!"

"This guy is a real master of deduction."

"Now it'll be easier to find the exit."

After Bai Zuo's analysis, coupled with Bai Zuo handsome face, the girls began to praise him.

Some people joined in the praise because it would save them trouble if someone could guide them.

"Tch, what kind of reasoning is this? Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

"This corridor is so long, with no forks in the road, you can see the end at a glance. We've been walking here for so long and no staff have come over, so a chase was impossible."

"Exactly! What kind of game starts with a chase scene right from the beginning?"

Seeing Bai Zuo surrounded by so many girls, Chen Ming was a little annoyed. His words immediately won the approval of some people.

Bai Zuo, resting his chin on his hand, said with apparent good temper, "You're right."

He even had a very innocent smile on his face.

Chen Ming's provocation was like a punch that landed right in the cotton.

Their provocative tone alerted the others, who quickly stepped in to dissuade them, saying, "It's just a game."

"Yes, I think this young man was trying to ease our tension."

"I saw the reviews online and wanted to try this famous haunted house. It's my first time playing a puzzle game like this, and to be honest, I'm a little lost."

"Yes, I was really scared of encountering ghosts when I first came in, since I'm not very strong and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to run away."

"Luckily, this guy said there wouldn't be any chase scenes here."

"And the guy's reasoning is very logical; I didn't even think of that at first."

"I don't think this guy is right either. What do you mean there won't be a chase scene at the beginning of the game? I heard that this game is so attractive because of its novel storyline and its different approach from other haunted houses, right?"

Chen Ming watched with a livid face as others defended Bai Zuo and then turned to denounce him. Due to the overwhelming number of people on the other side, Chen Ming, though somewhat unwilling, ultimately gave up on causing trouble for Bai Zuo.

Shen Yu stood by and watched, letting Bai Zuo arbitrarily provoke the anger of the others, leaving them angry but unable to speak out.

This is probably part of the game.

Evil Mouth stood behind Shen Yu, his brows furrowed, seemingly pondering something he couldn't quite understand.

There's something strange about this person; as soon as you get close to him, the eerie things within him suddenly become active.

Evil Mouth initially thought the strange activity within his body was due to hunger, but after several attempts, he discovered that the source of the strange disturbances was a boy who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

With a probing gaze, Evil Mouth secretly scrutinized Shen Yu.

Could the other party be Contract Anomalist?

No, none of the Contract Anomalist he encountered before caused any strange disturbances in his body.

That means this person has a special constitution; is there something about them that attracts strange things?

Should we tie him up and take him back to investigate him thoroughly?

"Is this hallway only filled with mirrors?"

"Let's hurry, we don't have much time. We still need to look for clues later."

The group left the corridor.

Turn the corner.

Bai Zuo led them to look for clues, then turned around, wanting to say something to Shen Yu, only to find that Shen Yu, who had been following behind, had disappeared without a trace.

Just as Bai Zuo was about to use the power of the Heart Gu to find the Chairman, the Chairman walked out from around the corner.

Bai Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Chairman, why are you walking so slowly? I almost thought you were lost!"

"I'm looking in the hallway mirror."

The Chairman said, "Weren't you having a lot of fun?"

"Without the Chairman, even the happiest times will quickly become boring."

"Stop joking, did the Chairman sense it?"

The Chairman nodded.

Bai Zuo: "From the moment I walked in, that aura was very obvious. Sigh, all I wanted to do was play the game in peace."

Bai Zuo glanced at the Chairman, "Chairman."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Bai Zuo said listlessly, his face falling.

The Chairman, puzzled, said, "Let's go, they've all gone to look for clues."

The haunted house was quite large, probably to accommodate the complexity of the plot; they had already explored three rooms.

The first room is Lilith's entertainment room.

There are many, many toys here.

It's clear that the Duke really adores Lilith; the various toys piled up are almost filling the room.

However, all the toys were now broken and tattered; not one of them was intact.

In the corner, a teddy bear sat quietly, its body riddled with holes, revealing the stuffing inside; one eye was missing, and one ear was also missing.

Is this the little brown bear that the staff mentioned?

"Anything that appears in the background must be important. Let's see if there are any clues we're looking for on this little bear."

The three of them gathered around and carefully picked up the teddy bear.

The bear was so tattered that its head and body were barely connected by a few short threads.

They were careful not to make any sudden movements when picking it up, for fear that the bear's head would fall off.

"The clues are usually hidden inside the bear's body, right?"

"Let me check."

A rather daring girl reached her hand inside the teddy bear's damaged body, groping around in the cotton.

"Ah, I think I touched something."

Shanshan took her hand out, with a piece of paper between her fingers.

She teamed up with two friends to search the toy room.

The three of them crowded around to read what was written on the note.

Shanshan read aloud, "Mr. in the mirror, when will you come out and play with me?"

"My dearest Lilith, I'll be with you soon..."

"It's a mirror again."

Is the mirror in the hallway a clue?

"I feel this ghost has a lot to do with mirrors."

"Wow, I don't understand this. Let's put the note away and discuss it with everyone later."

Shanshan also agreed with her friend's suggestion.

She put the note in her pocket, then searched the entire room with her friend, finding clues on some of the toys.

Some of the toys had notes covered in curses.

For example, something like, "You can only have me as a friend."

And darkness will engulf the entire world.

Everyone who touches the mirror must die.

These clues are relatively clear, while others are rather strange.

After Shanshan and the others found all the clues in the toy room, they planned to leave and rejoin the main group.

They had just stepped out of the toy room.

Shanshan felt a chill run through her body and involuntarily stopped, shivering.

What's wrong with Shanshan?
