Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 173 She stayed here for one person.

The clock hands gradually pointed to three in the morning.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense.

Following the rules of the game, they began to walk slowly in circles, their steps light and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing something sleeping in the darkness.

Lin Wanchu took the lead, quietly walking behind the person in front of her, Lu Xue.

He leaned down slightly and gently blew a breath onto the base of her fair neck.

Her movements were gentle and careful, without making a sound.

Then, Lin Wanchu returned to her original position, and Lu Xue began to do the same.

This process was carried out in sequence, with all five people silently following the rules of the game.

Without exception, each of them had a very serious and focused expression.

The circle keeps spinning, and time seems to slow down and become heavy in this game.

Lu Xue gently blew a breath on the back of Chi Miaomiao's neck to make sure Chi Miaomiao had received the signal, and then returned to her original position as she slowly walked forward.

The object that Chi Miaomiao was going to blow on was none other than Lu Zhi.

She appeared slightly nervous and frightened, her hands trembling slightly.

But what Chi Miaomiao feared was not ghosts, but Lu Zhi.

From the very first meeting, an overwhelming sense of fear rose within her.

This is the instinctive reaction of a weak creature when faced with a powerful and terrifying being.

However, what Chi Miaomiao saw reflected in her pupils was Lu Zhi's crouching back.

Why is he squatting in the same spot?

This time, Jiang Qi was the last one in the mirror game.

Lu Zhi squatted down, his mind filled with his brother's words of advice before the game started.

He said, "In the game, remember to crouch down until Chi Miaomiao blows air at you before you stand up."

“Miaomiao is quite petite, she probably can’t reach it.”

Lu Zhi couldn't stand that his brother was also nice to others; his brother could only be nice to him and only favor him.

But he pretended to be indifferent, though his voice was cold when he spoke, and he quickly agreed to his brother's request.

However, Jiang Qi's intuition did not escape his notice.

Jiang Qi didn't need to look at Lu Zhi's expression to know that he was obviously jealous, but Lu Zhi would never say it directly.

Therefore, Jiang Qi simply stroked Lu Zhi's hair.

He pinched Lu Zhi's cheeks and gently pulled them back, smiling tenderly as he spoke earnestly.

"I can smell the strong sourness from someone's sullen jealousy."

"From beginning to end, you are the only one I care about most."

"Furthermore, my friend is your friend, because I am your whole being, do you understand?"

Although it sounded a little cheesy, Lu Zhi's jealousy was successfully dispelled.

As his thoughts returned, Lu Zhi felt a warm breath blow on the back of his neck.

It's his turn now.

He stood up, his tall and slender figure standing straight, and slowly disappeared from the spot.

Chi Miaomiao relaxed a little; it turned out that Lu Zhi wasn't so scary after all.

Behind Jiang Qi, Lu Zhi's footsteps grew clearer.

The footsteps stopped, and Lu Zhi stood a step away from Jiang Qi.

They were too close, and Lu Zhi's breath was spraying all over Jiang Qi's nape.

Jiang Qi strode forward, ready to continue the game.

Without warning, he felt two breaths blow into his neck.

Jiang Qi was startled, but quickly calmed himself down.

He has always been very self-aware of his own luck.

After a while, Jiang Qi said "Coming" according to the rules, then slowly turned around and faced away from the mirror.

Upon hearing this signal, the other four people stopped and looked at the mirror together.

The image in the mirror appeared somewhat blurry due to the dim light.

But Jiang Qi's figure could still be vaguely seen.

His figure appeared straight and somewhat lonely in the mirror.

However, a terrifying scene unfolded.

Although Jiang Qi was facing away from the mirror, Lu Xue was horrified to discover that what was reflected in the mirror was not Jiang Qi's back, but his face!

A sinister and eerie smile hung on its lips.

His eyes seemed to pierce through reality, staring directly at the five people in the room.

The surrounding environment seemed to turn gloomy at that moment.

A chill filled the air, making Lu Xue's breathing quicken.

Jiang Qi himself seemed unaware of this anomaly.

He remained motionless, head bowed, eyes closed, back to the mirror.

The face in the mirror, however, continued to curve upwards, revealing gleaming white teeth.

One of its arms slowly rose, as if to break through the mirror.

The three people's hearts were racing, but none of them showed any fear or intention to run away.

Before Lu Zhi could utter the word, Jiang Qi spoke first.

His voice was firm and clear: "Let's say 'go' together."

Under his guidance, the four of them shouted in unison, "Go!"

Then everyone turned around and faced the mirror.

Lu Xue and Lin Wanchu looked at each other and smiled silently.

At the same time, Chi Miaomiao also saw that the scene in the mirror returned to normal after they shouted "Go".

It was no longer a creepy smile.

The game was over, and they no longer had to live in fear.

This time, when the game ended, it was Jerry who personally went into the haunted house to pick up the five of them.

The haunted house was definitely the easiest attraction; they passed it with ease.

Jerry took out the stamped tickets and returned them to them one by one.

"Congratulations on successfully completing three games."

As soon as Jerry finished speaking, the system notification sounded.

[Congratulations to Monster Guild for completing two activities in one day and achieving the goal in the fastest time. Reward: 4000 points.]

The seven nodded to Jerry, thinking that they could finally rest.

At the same time, the door to the haunted house opened again.

The first thing the seven people saw was a severed hand squeezing out from the crack in the door, crawling out in neat rows.

They carried a smooth, full-length mirror and moved quickly, slipping up to Jerry's side.

Then came a woman with long, flowing hair that obscured her face, dressed in red.

Yu Hansheng looked closely and realized that she was the staff member who had given him directions.

Another human head slowly floated out of the haunted house, leaving water droplets in its wake.

She spotted Cheng Cuo at a glance, and her whole head trembled with excitement.

Ignoring the gazes of the six people simultaneously directed at her, she rushed directly in front of Cheng Cuo, only to be blocked by a hand with distinct knuckles.

Her eyes turned to the owner of the hand, a hint of unease flashing in her gaze, and her loose hair curled up.

Sure enough, handsome guys' friends are all handsome guys.

I was too impulsive. I wonder if he won't like her like this.

But she came for Cheng Cuo, so she greeted him.

"Hehe, human, do you remember me?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Cheng Cuo twitched his fingers slightly and nodded.

"You know each other."

"It was her who helped me in the bathtub game."

Yu Hansheng lowered his hand, intending to see what else she would say.

"Human, it's a pleasure to meet you. That woman named Jerry is our little boss."

The female ghost glanced at the people around Cheng Cuo and continued speaking.

"You're all his friends, right? Let me tell you, don't be afraid of our boss, she's a very nice person."

"Besides, Jerry is the mouse in 'Tom and Jerry,' look how cute that headgear is."

"She stayed here for someone..."

If the female ghost had hands and feet, they would definitely be able to see her dancing and gesturing wildly.

But all that remained of her was her head, horribly swollen from being submerged in water.

Jerry interrupted the female ghost coldly.

"Xiaoru, come here, you talk too much."

The female ghost stopped talking, said goodbye helplessly, and slowly floated to Jerry's side.

Seeing this, Jerry patted her on the head, but very lightly.

And the severed hand in the mirror was already stirring.

He was a big mouth in life, and even after he died, all that was left were his hands, but he still couldn't keep a secret.

Jiang Qi could only see a white afterimage rushing towards him, but it was intercepted by Lu Zhi before it got very close.

The severed hand struggled fiercely in Lu Zhi's hand, but then realized something and became obedient.

"Lu Zhi, give me the severed hand. It seems to have something to tell me."

"Okay, brother."

The severed hand fell into Jiang Qi's hands, and it quickly wrote and drew on the back of Jiang Qi's hand.

Jiang Qi slowly read aloud the words as he pieced them together stroke by stroke: "Someone wants to harm you."

The severed hand tapped its finger, as if in nod.

"Thank you."

Before Jiang Qi could finish speaking, Lu Zhi suddenly grabbed his severed hand and flung it away, where it landed right on Jerry's shoulder.

The bright red severed palm turned back to its original bluish-white color.

The older brother is his; why is it being shy about having a missing hand?

Jerry didn't take Lu Zhi's rudeness to heart.

He turned around and gently closed the haunted house door, then took a small key out of his pocket.

The key gleamed silver in the streetlights; he used it to lock the door, locking the quiet inside.

Then, he took a sign that read "Closed" from the hook next to the door.

The sign is made of dark wood and has several striking white Chinese characters engraved on it.

Jerry then hung a sign on a prominent doorknob, announcing to the outside world that the haunted house was now closed for the day.

After hanging up the sign, Jerry gently shook the doorknob to make sure the lock was securely engaged.

Finally, she turned and left, leading them with light steps.

The seven people who remained in front of the haunted house could still faintly hear their laughter and chatter.

"Looks like I'll have to add a rule to my haunted house rules from now on: staff members are not allowed to chat with visitors during working hours, or their wages will be deducted."

This is Jerry's voice.

"Then we can add a line: 'The boss can't hit an employee on the head.'"

"..."
