The sudden sound of a woman's voice gave everyone a terrible fright. "!!!"
They slowly turned their heads, their necks stiff. The person they had thought was dead was standing at the outer edge of the crowd, completely unharmed.
"What happened?" Shi Xinyi peered curiously into her room, occasionally glancing at the other players as though waiting for an answer.
One player stared at Shi Xinyi for a long time before finally finding their voice. "Y-you... you're not dead?"
Shi Xinyi immediately broke into giggles. "What are you talking about..." She gave the player who had spoken a mildly reproachful look, as though they had made a joke that wasn't funny. "Aren't I standing right here, perfectly fine... heehee..."
Her laughter was clear and pleasant, yet it sent fine goosebumps prickling across everyone's skin.
"I-if you're not dead... then those things on your bed, those (severed limbs)... whose are they?"
"Hm?" Shi Xinyi tilted her head. "My bed?"
She craned her neck to look into the room, then turned to the player who had asked with a puzzled expression. "There's nothing on my bed... what are you talking about?"
The veteran player thought Shi Xinyi was playing dumb. They stretched out a hand and pointed straight at the bed Ran Yan was slumped over. "Those things on the bed... can't you see them?"
"Heeheehee..." Shi Xinyi laughed again, as though they had said something hilarious, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.
"What are you talking about?" Under the veteran player's terrified gaze, Shi Xinyi finally straightened up, clutching her stomach. She took two deep breaths, steadying her breathing and her chest, which was shaking with laughter, before slowly saying, "That's not my bed at all..."
"What?!" Everyone froze.
Not her bed?!
Then... what was on that bed-?
