"Rumble-"
It had started raining.
Qin Manjiang watched the dense raindrops outside the window, his doubts growing.
Although Jiang Du hadn't offered any hints, Qin Manjiang had indeed realized something after talking to him.
To end this game, they had to find the hidden rules. But both the curses afflicting players who teamed up and the ghosts haunting solo players pointed to one thing.
There was more than one ghost in this ghost story.
But were they... really ghosts?
Judging by their abilities and how terrifying they were, they certainly were ghosts. Yet the fundamental logic didn't add up.
Every vengeful ghost and curse that had appeared so far clearly had the ability to kill the players outright. They had even come right up to the players, yet had inexplicably spared them.
Whether following them as ghosts or afflicting them with curses, these were more roundabout, more troublesome methods.
The ghosts this time could sense the players' locations and appear around them at will. Logically speaking, that alone had already sentenced them to death.
Yet although the [Wedding Dress] ghost story was so bizarre that they couldn't find any approach to resolving it, not a single player had been killed on first encounter.
That didn't align with the ghosts' purpose.
Fundamentally, all vengeful ghosts had only one purpose: to drag humans into hell, into the same infinite hell they themselves inhabited.
But this time, everything Qin Manjiang had experienced so far gave him the vague feeling that the "ghosts" weren't trying to kill anyone at all.
Following that line of thought, the true mastermind wasn't a ghost. In other words, aside from Shen Hong, whose death was confirmed, were Shen Hong's Father or Shen Hong's husband really dead?
The opening lines, too-the opening lines of this ghost story hadn't revealed
