âWhen I entered the building, I memorized all the routes. There are only two ways to move up and down the floorsâthe elevator or the stairs.â Chen Ge looked at the screen and was very calm. âIn a bit, weâll see what happens, and weâll pick the route that is further from the killers. Of course, the best result is they both kill each other.â
Then, Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu into the kitchen.
âWhat are you looking for?â Fan Chongâs heart was at his throat. The game had entered a phase that he had not experienced before. This made him excited and worried.
âIâm looking for weapons like a cleaver or fruit knife. After the tussle between of the two murderers, the survivor will probably be injured as well. If we have a weapon with us, thereâs a greater chance of survival.â
Fan Chong did not know how to reply to Chen Geâs explanation; this man felt like he was playing a survival game rather than a horror game. Looking around the kitchen, Chen Ge did not find any sharp objects; there was only thread and cloth in the room. âLooks like the game prevents resistance from the player; the player can only hide and try their best to survive.â
The graphics of the game were so-so, but the attention to detail was impressive, allowing the player to enter the role of Xiao Bu seamlessly like they were the poor, defensive girl in the game. When Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to return to the balcony, the man in the factory outfit had already disappeared.
Several minutes later, there was a chat boxââThe sound of fighting comes from the door. The knife cut through skin, and it sounds like it punctured through a bag filled with water. Someone is running, and someone is chasing.â
âThe two murderers are fighting among themselves!â Fan Chong was more excited than Chen Ge when he saw the chat box. âThe two killers are too busy fighting among themselves; this is our chance!â
The killer that blocked the door had left. Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to open the living room doorâthe corridor was dyed red by blood.
âThe blood trailed toward the stairs, so they went toward it. Weâll leave with the elevator!â Fan Chongâs heart jumped to his throat. This was not the time to dawdleâthe killer could return at any moment.
âThereâs no need to hurry. The sky is already dark outside. Even if we leave this place, where can we go? Didnât you say that youâll die mysteriously from walking through the street at night?â Chen Geâs brain was turning. âFurthermore, if we take the elevator, the murderer will definitely come after us if he realizes that; itâs too dangerous.â
âThen what do you suggest we do?â From Fan Chongâs perspective, the ending was definitely death. The most that they were doing was delaying the time of death.
âThe killers running to the stairs is within my expectations because taking the elevator requires waiting; he had to take the stairs if he wants to escape.â Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to walk out from the room. Under the shocked gaze from Fan Chong and Fan Dade, they saw Xiao Bu stop at the door of her neighbor.
âWhat are you planning to do?â The brothers fixed their eyes on the screen.
âI plan to deal with the other killer as well.â Chen Ge clicked on the backpack and dropped the remaining thread and cloth by the door of the ghost neighbor. This shocked Fan Chong and Fan Dade. After a long time, Fan Chong asked, âDo you plan to create the impression that Xiao Bu has gone hidden inside the neighborâs home, tricking the killer to go into the ghost neighborâs place?â
âThatâs the ideal situation.â After dropping the stuff, Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to head to the stairs. The two killers ran down the stairs, and Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to stand at the corner of the landing. In other words, if the killers turned back, they would have a hard time seeing her.
âYou sure are courageous.â Fan Chong sighed sincerely.
âThereâs no other choice. Youâll be discovered if you stay at home, and the killer will chase after you if you take the stairs, so I have to take matters into my own hand.â Chen Ge looked at the screen. Ten seconds later, the man in the factory outfit ran up the stairs.
âLooks like the man in the raincoat lost.â Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to lean against the wall. From this angle, he had a good view of the killer. What happened next surprised Chen Ge. The man was cleverer than Chen Ge expected, unlike a designed NPC. In fact, he felt like an real, cold-blooded maniac.
He did not enter Xiao Buâs home immediately. He rushed to the elevator and kept his head on Xiao Buâs homeâs door. After some minutes, he returned from the elevator. No one had used the elevator, so he was certain that Xiao Bu was on that floor.
Holding a sharp knife, the man entered Xiao Buâs home. He opened the door and saw the dead body. Interestingly enough, the chat box appeared at a time like this; it seemed to be the killerâs mumblingââF*ck! I have to deal with four bodies tonight even though I only wanted to kill one!â
The man entered the room. He could not find Xiao Bu, and the chat box reappearedââWhere did the little girl wander off to? She saw me dismember the body, so she should still be in this building.â
The murderer searched the place but was unable to find Xiao Bu. He walked out from the room and discovered the broken cloth on the groundââThe girl has left the room? There is blood on this cloth. Did she try to bandage the dead personâs wound? The trail of cloth stops hereâŚâ
The killer stopped for a long time before the neighborâs door, then he knocked on itââThis is the police. I received a report from the tenants that there has been a murder. Please open the door to assist with the investigation.â
The door did fall open. The murderer had a wicked smirk and entered the room, holding the sharp knife.
âItâs time for us to make our move.â Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to exit the stairwell. He clicked on the neighborâs door, and Xiao Bu closed the door.
The chat box bounced upââYou can hear screams for mercy from inside the room, but you are unaffected.â
Ten minutes later, a new tapping sound came from the door. On the screen, Xiao Bu stood at her neighborâs door. The girl in her motherâs pajamas looked so innocent and cute, a complete contrast to the world around her. However, from Fan Chong and Fan Dadeâs perspective, this little girl was the scariest presence.

âYou even closed the door?â Fan Chong drank the coke, needing to calm down. Fan Dade thought that Chen Ge was someone not normal, and he did not dare to breathe anymore watching him play the game.
âDonât worry, Iâm just helping society clear away the rubbish.â Chen Ge did not waste any time since night was falling. He controlled Xiao Bu to enter the stairwell and find the dead body of the man in the raincoat. He kept clicking on the body.
âWhat are you doing now?â Fan Chong had given up guessing Chen Geâs thought.
âTo find the key or something useful. Thereâs a ghost living next to Xiao Buâs home, so going back is impossible. If we can find the key on this manâs body, then weâll go spend a night at the killerâs home.â
