"Rumble-"
It had started raining.
Qin Manjiang watched the dense raindrops outside the window, his doubts growing stronger.
Although Jiang Du hadn't offered any hints, their conversation had made Qin Manjiang realize something.
To end this game, they had to find the hidden rules. But whether it was the curses afflicting the teamed players or the ghosts haunting the solo players, everything 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 were indeed ghosts, but the underlying logic didn't hold up.
Every Vengeful Ghost and curse that had appeared so far clearly had the power to kill the players outright. They had even come right up to the players, yet had bizarrely spared them.
Whether following the players as Vengeful Ghosts or afflicting them with curses, these were all more roundabout, more troublesome methods.
The ghosts this time could sense the players' locations and appear around them at will. Logically speaking, that alone should have sentenced them to death.
Yet, although this [Wedding Dress] Ghost Story was already so bizarre that they couldn't find any approach to solving it, not a single player had been "killed on first encounter."
That didn't align with a ghost's objective.
Fundamentally, every Vengeful Ghost had only one objective: 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 a vague feeling that the "ghosts" weren't trying to kill people at all.
If he thought about it that way, then the real mastermind wasn't a ghost. In other words, apart from Shen Hong, whose death was confirmed, had Shen Hong's father or her husband really died?
The Opening Lines, too-the
