Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lina jumped up and turned to go back to the window to continue hanging the window.

Lin Sui'an grabbed her arm: "It's not safe here now, let's go up to the third floor!"

The two had barely reached the 2.5-meter mark when a series of loud cracking sounds, much more violent than before, came from the restaurant on the second floor.

Lina didn't dare to mess up at all and followed Lin Sui'an to the third-floor terrace.

"What do we do now?"

"See that?" Lin Sui'an pointed to the side of the terrace. "From here on the terrace, step on the protruding eaves, slowly move to the end, then go to the other side of the house and continue hanging it outside."

"However, we need to hurry. These guys should be up here in five minutes at most."

Lina looked in the direction Lin Sui'an was pointing. Their current terrace faced south, which meant that she had to step on the less than 10-centimeter-wide eaves to reach the west side of the house and then hang on the wall again.

This is much more difficult than climbing out of a window and hanging on a wall.

"I...I can't..."

"There's nothing we can do but wait to die."

In that life-or-death situation, she had no choice: "Okay! Will you come with me?"

"No~" Lin Sui'an shook the doll in her hand, "I'm going to go play with the weirdos~"

"But you're injured!" Lina said, her voice trembling with worry.

"I'm hungry, I'll go play with them and have a couple more bites of cake while I'm at it."

After saying that, she turned and left. Lina watched her back as she walked away. Although her back was bleeding, she moved lightly. She gritted her teeth and began to carefully move towards a safe place.

All she can do is not hold others back and protect herself.

Lin Sui'an didn't rush downstairs. Instead, she went to the bedroom, found a reasonably intact piece of clothing, put it on, and then took out the doll to look at it.

So ugly!

[Item Description: When the holder suffers a fatal wound, the doll will absorb the damage in their place, and the holder will be instantly teleported to a random safe point. Uses: 10.]

She tucked the doll into her bosom, and, with her eerie vision obstructing her view, slowly made her way back to the small, messy restaurant.

After searching around, there wasn't a single intact cake. Finally, she found an apple in a corner, which looked like the one she had thrown to Lina earlier.

He wiped it casually on his clothes and started eating it with a clatter.

Just as the apple was finished, three rusty sickles suddenly flew into the restaurant, scattering sawdust everywhere.

The red-clad monsters roared and squeezed into the restaurant, disappearing at a safe distance.

Lin Sui'an stood by the window and beckoned to the monsters with his finger.

"Didn't you want a doll?"

Come here.

The eerie creatures let out a hoarse cry and pounced at once, moving even faster than before.

Viewers in the live stream almost dared not look at the screen anymore.

"Don't hit me! Don't hit me! What is Boss Sui'an doing? Why isn't he running away?"

Gou Dao Wansui: I don't understand, why provoke them? There are only twenty minutes left, wouldn't it be better to just hide?

A native of Zu'an: I just opened a box and found a rag doll. I guess my idol wanted to test the rag doll's functions.

Immigration complete: All I can say is, "No zuo no die!"

A native of Zu'an: Die your father! Your master died, why aren't you at his grave? What are you doing here?!

Jiang Lai stared intently at the screen, her fingertips digging bloody marks into her palm.

"Predicting location, stealth... now she's luring the enemy in."

Ten hooks and sickles clashed wildly in the room.

"Ding! Clang!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, a strange scythe suddenly pierced Lin Sui'an's right shoulder.

"Pfft!"

Blood exploded on the big screen.

Immigration complete: Hahahaha, what did I say again?

A native of Zu'an: Damn it! So annoying! Has anyone hacked this person's account?!

Don't talk to me: Okay (●'◡'●)

Koi fish: May God bless you! May the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West bless you! May Mazu bless you!

[A deadly threat has been detected against the player.]

[Scapegoat doll, activated.]

The golden light burst forth once more, and Lin Sui'an's figure vanished without a trace in an instant.

The monsters, having lost their target, launched another attack, accompanied by roars and destruction.

At this moment, in the most remote storage room of the manor, Lin Sui'an fell onto a pile of tattered sacks.

She touched her shoulder; the wound was gone.

She looked at the rag doll, noticing a new crack on its shoulder, and sighed.

"It's even uglier now."

She got up from the ground, and before she could even stand up properly, she heard a very faint breathing sound coming from outside the storage room.

Lin Sui'an squinted and peered through the crack in the door.

That was the misty area outside the manor, where there shouldn't have been anything.

But right there, a tall figure dressed in the attire of a 17th-century European nobleman slowly turned his head.

It has no face.

Or rather, its face only has a large mouth full of sharp teeth that opens and closes constantly.

Lin Sui'an's heart skipped a beat; these weren't the ten strange figures in red.

The manor owner seemed to have been awakened by the noise she had made.

Lin Sui'an stroked the doll's head and muttered to himself.

"Oops, we've gone too far."

[Countdown: 15 minutes.]

Netizens held their breath as they watched this new and bizarre phenomenon, and Lin Sui'an also held his breath.

The strange creature then pulled a scarlet compass from its bosom and dripped a drop of blood into it from its fingertip.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

?

Lin Sui'an was a bit confused. Why was the manor owner lying down to sleep again? What was the purpose of dripping blood? Why hadn't anything happened?

Unsure, let's wait and see.

"what!"

"ah!!"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Five more minutes passed, and apart from the eerie sounds of destruction and the agonizing cries of the players dying, nothing else happened.

Lin Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief. Haha, he scared himself!

But what's this compass for? I'd like to borrow it to play with, hehe.

No rush, no rush. Let's borrow it from the manor owner when there's only one minute left.

No longer observing the manor owner, Lin Sui'an lay on a sack in the damaged storage room, gazing towards the main building.

The strange creatures no longer scattered; they walked together as a group of ten, led by one of them, toward the flower hall on the right side of the main courtyard.

Upon arriving at the flower hall, the ten people began a frenzied, carpet-like destruction.

"Ah!" A player cried out in pain after being slashed in the leg, and was then killed by one of the strange attackers.

After killing them, the ten monsters did not linger and set off again, heading straight for the underground parking lot.

Lin Sui'an frowned. Something was wrong!

If the previous strange occurrences relied on luck and sight, searching the entire map, then the current strange occurrences are as if one knows exactly where someone is hiding.

That's why the monsters don't linger after killing the player and head straight to the second location.

Could it be because of that compass from earlier?

The compass can tell the eerie where the player is hiding! Lin Sui'an felt that he was probably right. Even if it wasn't the compass, it was the game that gave the eerie a buff.

However, this buff isn't very strong, and strangely, it doesn't have a precise location, only a general area, such as the west flower hall.

This buff can only be applied to one location at a time!

[Countdown: Five minutes.]

There are only 8 players left on the field.
