Chapter 90 90. Run, leave the house
"Bah…"

After Jiang Jianxin entered the house, the door closed automatically and the lights in the house came on.

She turned and glanced at the closed door.

Although the door was closed, the number on the door kept rising:
[2/10]

[3/10]

Jiang Jianxin turned his attention to the house.

This is obviously a single room. Unlike the stuffy and unfinished appearance from the outside, the decoration inside the room is quite simple.

The walls were covered with white carved wallpaper, the bed was covered with white bedding, and there was a large sponge pillow at the head of the bed.

Next to the single bed was a tightly closed black wardrobe and a small dining table covered with a long green tablecloth. On the table was an empty green tissue box, and next to the dining table was a sponge chair of the same color.

Because there are no windows and the room is completely lit by lamps, the whole room is a little dim.

Jiang Jianxin walked to the chair next to the dining table and sat down, hearing a slight creaking sound from the chair legs.

She squinted her eyes and looked around the room.

Jiang Jianxin's eyes slid across the gleaming patterns on the wallpaper, passed over the neat bed, and finally returned to the table, locking onto the empty napkin box.

The dim light cast a shadow inside the cardboard box.

There was no soft tissue in the empty cardboard box, but instead there was a ball of... crumpled paper?

Jiang Jianxin stretched out his hand in surprise, took out the piece of paper, spread it out under the light, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle.

On the creased paper, there was a line of small words written in dark brown ballpoint pen:
【Run—get out of the house!】

The person who wrote this sentence seemed to be in a hurry, the handwriting was a bit messy, and many strokes were mixed together.

Jiang Jianxin noticed that there was some red substance similar to blood on the edge of the paper, which looked particularly dark under the light.

She frowned, and a chill ran up from the soles of her feet.

Why did I see a note in the safe house asking me to leave?

Jiang Jianxin remembered what Christine and Gu Fengliu had told her before—"The safe house is safe."

Leave the house...

——Aren’t safe houses safe?

So what was the point of her trying so hard to squeeze into this room?
The dim light illuminated the quiet little house, and something seemed to be trying to emerge from beneath this peaceful appearance.

But Jiang Jianxin couldn't see clearly.

Cold sweat broke out on her back. She quickly took out the sword from her waist, unsheathed it, and wanted to see what the room on the sword looked like as usual.

But she forgot that after entering this polluted area, the Tangguang Sword turned into a pixel sword. The sword was covered with arranged pixel blocks, blurry like a mosaic, and nothing could be seen.

[4/10]

[5/10]

[6/10]

The number on the door was still rising. Jiang Jianxin stared at the note for a moment, then stood up suddenly and lifted the tissue box upside down to see if there were any other notes stuck in the corners.

"Bah-"

There was a piece of paper stuck at the bottom of the box, but it was pulled out due to her excessive force and fell to the ground.

Jiang Jianxin picked up the second note and found that it looked very new, with words written on it in black ink.

The handwriting was much neater than that on the previous note, almost like it was printed:
【Don't go out, the house is safe! 】

"Dip-dip--"

The door alarm sounded, and Jiang Jianxin saw that the number of people in the room was getting closer and closer to full.

[7/10]

[8/10]

[9/10]

Jiang Jianxin took another look at the two notes.

One told her to run, the other told her not to go out. ...Who was lying?
Jiang Jianxin couldn't tell the difference, so she chose to think about it herself based on the situation.

Christine had told her before that miasma would appear in the polluted area at night, and she would lose a thousand HP per hour in the miasma.

Most people's health bars cannot withstand the loss of 1,000 health points in an hour, so they will choose to enter a safe house.

Judging from the number of people she just saw, the number of people in the dungeon was considerable, proving that the safe house still had a mechanism to allow people to survive.

Although she didn't know why the first note told her to run away, Jiang Jianxin felt that staying in the safe house was a more reliable option.

[10/10]

She put the two notes away and sat in her chair without moving. The number of people at the gate eventually reached full capacity.

Jiang Jianxin didn't see the other nine people, and this small single room couldn't accommodate nine people. She guessed that there might be parallel rooms, and the other people stayed in the parallel rooms, just like the routes in the game, which is also a common method in virtual games.

“Didi————”

A circle of green light appeared in the room, and the numbers on the door disappeared and turned into a line of prompts:

[The number of people is full, the room is being blocked...]

The room was still very quiet, and nothing strange happened.

The uneasiness caused by the two notes had diminished a lot, and Jiang Jianxin felt that he might have been too suspicious.

She left the dining table and walked towards the bed. As soon as she lifted the quilt, she found a damp watermark on the bed.

The water mark extended wetly from the sponge pillow all the way to the deep of the quilt.

It happens to be the outline shape of a person.

Jiang Jianxin broke out in cold sweat on her back. Fortunately, her hand holding the sword was steady enough and she did not throw the quilt away directly. Instead, she slowly pulled the quilt up and covered the watermark on the pillow with it.

The only sound in the room was the friction of the quilt, which was still deflated, as if she was just holding air.

Jiang Jianxin thought it was good to get some fresh air.

It's better than actually covering someone up.

Jiang Jianxin breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the bed, and backed up to sit on the chair.

She glanced back at the door.

The green light in the room no longer flickered, and on the door was a line of words that gradually faded away:

【Room sealed successfully.】

Jiang Jianxin sat in the chair in a daze. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the lights in the room were gradually dimming, and the shadow of the tissue box was slowly lengthening and disintegrating. These were all proofs of the dimming light.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, the lights went out.

Suddenly, I felt something wet reaching out from under the table, grabbing my ankle and leaving a creepy chill.

Jiang Jianxin: “?”

The Sword Master's reaction ability did not allow her to scream. She looked cold and didn't care what was underneath. She swung her legs and kicked over the small dining table.

“Bang—”

The small dining table, along with the napkin box on it, fell over, and the long tablecloth was blown to the ground.

Jiang Jianxin stood up suddenly from the stool and looked carefully.

There were water marks on the floor tiles.

But there was nothing under the small dining table.

Jiang Jianxin's brain started thinking rapidly. It was obvious that there was something strange about this house.

She had never dealt with the weirdness of playing with water, but she had dealt with Yin Ju playing with water.

The last time she fought Yin Ju, she simply cut off all the water attacks with one sword.

Now the Tangguang Sword has turned into Tangguang Toffee, what should she do?
"Pfft-"

There was a slight sound from somewhere, and the lights in the room went out completely.

Another update will be posted later. Someone said before that my description of the environment is good, haha. Since the author is engaged in surveying and mapping, I have not only seen the terrain but also drawn it every day. I went to draw maps in the afternoon, so I will post the numbers later today (╥_╥)
