Blue Bay Villa District.

The rain was especially heavy here. Fierce winds sent weeds and rubbish flying into the air. No normal person would go outside in weather like this.

In the villa's living room, Shen Hai "watched" the two Vengeful Ghosts pass each other without interacting. One went upstairs, while the other went to the kitchen.

I haven't been discovered yet...

He let out a breath of relief too.

But he knew very well that this could not go on.

Thinking back, this Ghost Story had offered two choices from the very start: solve the Ghost Story, or win the game and become the ultimate victor.

But now that he looked at it, offering two choices was far too strange!

Because the first choice was already the primary option in every Ghost Story Game.

There was no need to bring it up specifically.

Solving the Ghost Story, breaking the curse, and making it disappear at its source-this was not a game requirement at all...

Some game requirements had time limits, such as surviving somewhere for a certain number of days.

Take the Ultimate Game he had cleared before, for example. Its requirement had been... to keep the number of players in the same space odd.

The same went for this [Candy Game]. Its requirements clearly leaned more toward the second option-winning the game.

After all, winning a game was much easier than erasing a Ghost Story at its source.

Then why insist on including [solve the Ghost Story] in its requirements?

This gave Shen Hai the feeling... that it was trying to hide something.

What he did not know was that a saying circulated among veteran players-the Opening Lines might contain clues to survival, but they would always contain misleading directions.

So players generally treated them as nothing more
