"Mr. Qin, are you scared?"
Yu Ruoli looked at him in confusion.
"Of course I am! Aren't you?" Qin Manjiang looked her up and down. "I can see you trembling too."
"I... am." For the first time, Yu Ruoli looked a little embarrassed, but she soon raised her head again. "But you, Mr. Qin, you weren't like this before."
"People change," Qin Manjiang said, suddenly pointing at the curtains on the nearby wall. "Doesn't that bulging outline look like a person to you?"
Yu Ruoli looked where he was pointing. Those were just perfectly normal folds in the curtains... how did they look like a person?
"Mr. Qin... you're being too sensitive," Yu Ruoli said.
Qin Manjiang swallowed. He knew he seemed overly sensitive this time, but it was completely beyond his control.
If he said he couldn't concentrate, he could still notice plenty of details. But if he said he was concentrating, he kept imagining all sorts of things, just as he had with the curtains.

Qin Manjiang realized how serious this problem was.
Maybe... I should eliminate one of the Vengeful Ghost's abilities as soon as the Game begins?
He seriously considered the idea...
Time ticked by.

Just how... would this Game begin?
"Phew..."
Shen Hai checked the time. One minute until midnight.
It was still raining outside, and... the rain was getting heavier. There was even thunder, which shouldn't have occurred in this season!
It was coming...
The six of them remained silent and alert. Qin Manjiang was especially tense.
"Clang-"
The wind
