Lin Sui'an didn't look at that wall again.

She turned around, humming an off-key tune, and slowly walked deeper into the Rose Manor.

My fingertips brushed against the red roses by the roadside, and I picked one and casually tucked it behind my ear.

The movements were fluid and natural, like strolling in one's own garden, rather than being in a bizarre instance where death could strike at any moment.

The live stream chat erupted into chaos once again.

When will she die? What is she doing? Has she lost her mind?

Never eaten vegetables: Am I seeing things? She actually picked a flower to dress herself up?

Another day has passed: That's it, this person is definitely mentally ill. I doubt she even understands what this game is all about.

Go Dragon Kingdom! Everyone, prepare in advance and pack your important items first. If she is unfortunately captured, everyone should immediately head to the evacuation point. When the game ends and the invaded area is announced, everyone inside should evacuate quickly. Remember, we only have fifteen minutes to evacuate.

momo: I understand. We've been evacuated twenty-two times, so we're experienced.

Koi: I have a strong feeling that she can succeed through the game.

Inside the command center, the large screen flickered.

Jiang Lai stared intently at the screen.

"Report, retrieving participant information is difficult." The technician's fingers flew across the keyboard, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead. "The files before the age of seven are all blank, and the medical records after that were lost in the database destruction caused by that nuclear war."

"What about the last month or so?" Jiang Lai asked.

"It's still there." The technician pulled up the page, his tone slightly strange. "The doctor noted that Lin Sui'an likes to talk to herself in the corner of the ward, and occasionally she squats in the yard talking to the grass. The doctor determined that she exhibits typical symptoms of mental illness."

Jiang Lai frowned, her knuckles tapping rhythmically on the table.

Does she have a history of fleeing the country?

The technician paused for a moment, then flipped through the files: "Yes, three times. But each time, he only made it to the hospital entrance before being caught by the patrolling caregivers."

"Why didn't you run away?"

"Because she ran to the gate and stopped, sat on the curb and watched the sunset, and didn't resist until the caregiver led her back. I don't know why."

Jiang Lai pondered for a moment, then turned and waved to her assistant behind her: "Immediately send someone to that mental hospital, seal up all the paper and electronic files you can find, and bring them back for routine questioning of the doctors there. If... I mean, if she survives this time, bring her directly to the command center."

"yes!"

The members of the think tank were discussing things on the other side.

"Statistically, she has no survival skills whatsoever, and behaviorally, she lacks even the most basic vigilance."

"Based on the information and the current behavior pattern of the person, I think she may lack accurate knowledge of the game. I suggest that we immediately open the communication channel and explain the game to her before she enters the game in a strange way."

"No, explaining things now will not only waste her time hiding, but we only have one chance to contact her per round, and we need to use it at the crucial moment!"

"Isn't this crucial now?! If she's unaware of the danger, if she mistakes the supernatural for an ordinary person, if she actively greets the supernatural, will it be too late to warn her then?!"

"Based on past survival experience, when the eerie entity is approaching, remind your fellow countrymen to move to a safer location; this will increase their chances of survival!"

"But this is a special case!"

"Perhaps we all underestimated her," an elderly man with gray hair interjected. "She spent fifteen years in a mental hospital. Rules, restrictions, and isolation—these are torture for ordinary people, but for a mental patient, they may be the most familiar living environment."

"You mean, she might feel more at home here than in reality?"

"Look."

In the footage, Lin Sui'an has already entered a European-style villa.

Meanwhile, the situations of other participants are also displayed in a split-screen format.

A contestant from Southeast Asia is currently huddled in a kitchen cabinet, covering his mouth tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably with extreme fear.

Another contestant from a Western country was hiding under the sofa, his eyes bloodshot, clutching a dinner knife tightly in his hand. He would probably start slashing wildly at the slightest sound.

Fear is a common underlying trait in everyone.

Lin Sui'an, however, was rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the middle bedroom on the third floor.

She took off her slightly heavy old slippers, found a pair of black leather shoes in the closet, put them on, and stomped them on the floor.

The sound was a bit loud.

She frowned, then took off her leather shoes, went barefoot, and pulled out a pair of soft house shoes.

She nodded in satisfaction, then got up and walked towards the terrace.

Unlike the other contestants who hid in closets, cars, or under beds, Lin Sui'an went to the edge of the terrace and chose a potted plant that was as tall as a person. From the front, the blooming roses perfectly covered her.

From this angle, you can overlook the entire main courtyard.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

momo: Isn't that the third-floor terrace? Such a conspicuous location.

When will I die: You're asking for it! If you're entering suspiciously, you should definitely search the main building first! It's safer to go to side buildings or basements!

Never eaten vegetables: What is this woman thinking? Hide! Can't she hide under the bed? Or where she was looking for her shoes?

Ancestral Zaunite: Don't DD, from the front, the roses are covering her up. This view is well-placed. As long as the weirdo doesn't go up to the terrace, she won't be exposed.

Another day has passed: Do you believe the strange thing about not going to the main building's terrace?

A native of Zu'an: Don't forget, we still have one more chance to contact her. When the eerie thing arrives at the main building, we'll notify her to change locations. There's still a chance.

Immigration complete: Hahaha, damn it, they even banned my account! I'm an American citizen now, you don't have the authority to ban my account!

Immigration complete: We suggest you head over to our US live stream. John is amazing! He actually thought of opening the car hood and hiding inside. Before, the strange things were all about damaging the trunk and the interior, but this time it's a sure thing!

A native of Zu'an: Get out of here, you bastard! Your father is dead!

Lin Sui'an was unaware of the online clashes. At this moment, she stood behind the roses, peering through the gaps at the wall. Behind the wall was a space containing ten "people" dressed in dark red uniforms.

Their skin was an eerie bluish-gray, they had no ears or pupils, and they held rusty long-handled hooks in their hands, occasionally blasting the wall with their weapons.

Lin Sui'an lowered her eyes, her fingers involuntarily gripping the railing, leaving fine white marks on her fingertips.

"The ten 'people' have the same weapon attack range and damage, their weapon attacks have a 5-second cooldown, their walking speed is almost the same as a normal person, they can jump, and their jump height is half again as high as a normal person..."

"This so-called eerie thing seems a bit weak, not even as strong as Xiao Hong from the hospital. Hm, I'm not sure, let's wait and see."

"The strange creature is about 500 meters away from here, as the crow flies," she murmured to herself, her voice barely audible but still audible to the game. "At their speed, it would take them three minutes to come straight at us."

"If we don't follow a straight line and instead conduct a thorough search, it will take at least an hour."

"That's enough for me to observe."

A mysterious smile played on her lips as she picked another rose and slowly tore off the petals.

Inside the command center, Jiang Lai listened to Lin Sui'an's self-talk and looked at the think tank in disbelief.

"How did she know this information? Did she watch the live stream when she was in the mental hospital and know about it?" Jiang Lai asked.

No one could answer; they could only wait for news from the mental hospital.

"Old Zhao, you may be right. We may have underestimated her," one of the think tank members said to the old man.

Lin Sui'an stood behind the flowerpot, leaning against the railing, no longer looking at the wall, but observing the main courtyard with great interest.

Meanwhile, contestants from other countries were frantically searching for blind spots.

"It's so slow," Lin Sui'an muttered.

Suddenly, mechanical sounds rang out again above Rose Manor, piercing the eardrums.

[Countdown: 00:01]

Thirty minutes have passed.

The arresting officers officially entered the scene.

【Dear players, I wish you... a pleasant death.】
