Another player has died in Chapter 140.
The room door was wide open, and Cheng Cuo and Yu Hansheng entered the room without having to push it open.
The room was quiet, with only a gentle breeze drifting in through the window, softly swaying the curtains, and sunlight lazily spilling onto the floor.
However, this tranquility was shattered by a sudden, loud bang, a clear and resounding sound.
The bathroom door was closed. Jiang Qi stood inside, facing a mirror hanging on the sink.
His expression was icy. He suddenly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze casting a thin layer of cold mist over his long, beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, he raised his fist and punched the mirror hard.
The mirror made a dull thud, followed by a series of crisp cracking sounds, like ice breaking.
Fragments scattered everywhere, some landing on the sink, others falling onto the floor tiles with a soft clinking sound.
They were startled by the sudden noise outside the bathroom.
The five people looked at each other, their faces filled with doubt and worry.
Lu Zhixian started moving.
She strode towards the bathroom door, knocked gently, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Jiang Qi did not respond immediately. The bathroom was silent except for his slightly heavy breathing.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's nothing, I just accidentally broke the mirror."
Although Lu Zhi was skeptical, he didn't press the matter further when he heard his brother's calm voice.
"Alright then, brother, just call me if you have any trouble. I'll be waiting for you at the bathroom door."
Inside the bathroom, Jiang Qi stood quietly, looking at the shards of mirror scattered on the floor and sink, his emotions gradually calming down.
That wasn't an illusion; he saw someone on his shoulder in the mirror, and the face was unmistakably his own.
Moreover, "Jiang Qi" opened his mouth as if to say something, which Jiang Qi could tell from the shape of "his" mouth.
He said, "Jiang Qi, I've found you."
Jiang Qi turned on the tap, and the cool water flowed onto his face.
With the stimulation of cold water, he reverted to his original aloof and cold expression.
Crimson blood dripped from his fingers, which Jiang Qi quickly treated.
Lu Xue's face betrayed her worry, and she kept glancing towards the bathroom until she heard Jiang Qi's reply, at which point she finally felt at ease.
Lin Wanchu smoothed out the wrinkles on Lu Xue's sleeves. "Don't worry, your brother Jiang is so capable, how could anything happen to him?"
Cheng Cuo crossed his arms, his eyes cold, and looked out the window at the amusement park.
The second floor was unusually cold.
The sun was blazing outside, even the bright sunlight streaming in through the windows.
Its heat seemed to be swallowed up as it penetrated the cold, becoming dim and powerless, unable to bring even the slightest warmth.
With a creak, the bathroom door opened.
Jiang Qi smiled and reached out to pat Lu Zhi's head to comfort him.
Lu Zhi peeked into the bathroom through Jiang Qi's back; everything seemed normal.
Then he rubbed his hand against Jiang Qi's, frowned as he looked at his injured hand, and his voice instantly became hoarse.
"Brother, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."
Lu Zhi held Jiang Qi's injured hand and brought his lips close to blow air onto it.
Although this way of showing concern was like coaxing a child, Jiang Qi found it very appealing.
Cheng Cuo glanced at it, then looked away, feeling uneasy all over.
That deadbeat gay guy, always flirting, doesn't he care about the lives of the single guys around him?
Oh, no, someone's pursuing him now, and it's a guy too.
But most importantly, he's straight!
After a while, the seven people, some sitting and some standing, completely ignored the full-length mirror that was still covered by a bath towel.
Jiang Qi cleared his throat. "Now, let's get down to business."
"Children should stay away."
The seven children consciously ran to the other side, and quietly played by themselves without making a fuss.
Lin Wanchu leaned against the door and recounted what she had encountered in the lobby.
Cheng Cuo and Yu Hansheng nodded, indicating that they had seen it as well.
"The person melted away; it must be related to the sun."
Lu Zhi sat to the side, looking down and playing with Jiang Qi's fingers.
Jiang Qi glanced at the time; it was already past six in the afternoon.
"Let's sort this out first. We know that players can't stay outside for too long, or they'll melt away."
"I did the math. Lu Zhi and I left the lobby at 3:30, but I really started to feel very uncomfortable at 5:20."
"So I came back with Lu Zhi."
"All things considered, the time I can actually spend outdoors is only about two hours."
"We might melt in more than two hours."
Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue were deep in thought.
Cheng Cuo replied, "Yu Hansheng and I were the last to leave. I checked the time, and it was exactly four o'clock."
"At the last moment before entering the lobby, the lobby clock was pointing to six o'clock."
"By the way, we actually came to the second floor before leaving the lobby."
"The rooms on the second floor are all laid out exactly the same, but the iron door leading to the third floor was locked, so we didn't go up to the third floor."
Lin Wanchu looked up at Cheng Cuo but did not offer any opinion.
Lu Xue spoke up, "A Chu and I couldn't stand the scorching sun, so we bought two parasols, but they were completely useless and ridiculously expensive."
"Moreover, we originally wanted to try to get some information out of him, but the ticket inspector acted as if he didn't see us at all and completely ignored Ah Chu and me."
"It's just really strange."
In the short time it took to say just a few words, the sun outside had already begun to slowly set.
The light became softer and less dazzling.
The visitors to the amusement park gradually disappeared.
The afterglow of the sun painted the sky a magnificent orange-red.
It's as if nature's palette was accidentally spilled on the clouds, adorning the sky like a beautiful oil painting.
The amusement park fell silent, just as it had when they arrived.
The sound of doors opening and closing echoed through the corridor as players gradually returned to their rooms.
There's nothing they can do right now, they have no clue what to do, they can only wait for the game to start tomorrow so they can find some clues.
The amusement park is so big that two hours is definitely not enough to explore it.
Nobody wants to risk their life to do this.
"I have a guess about when the game will start..."
Jiang Qi's voice was suddenly interrupted by a shrill scream.
Lin Wanchu leaned against the doorway, giving her a good view of the situation outside.
She frowned. "I'll go take a look."
The sound was coming from inside one of the middle doors, where a small group of players had already gathered.
Inside the gate, a female player collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale.
A strong smell of blood filled the air, but no blood could be seen flowing.
A full-length mirror facing the head of the bed was shattered into pieces, and jelly-like chunks of meat were scattered all over the floor.
Her companion hugged the female player to comfort her.
When someone asked her what had happened, the female player was in a state of terror, her body trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence.
His companion remained calm and recounted what had just happened.
But his voice trembled uncontrollably, “Just now, one of our companions saw this full-length mirror and, for some reason, smashed it.”
"Then, we saw..."
She swallowed hard before continuing.
"After he broke the mirror, it was as if an invisible knife in the air sliced him to pieces, just like the broken mirror."
Then she murmured to herself, "So, we can't break this mirror, we absolutely can't..."
After getting the information she wanted, Lin Wanchu left quietly.
In dungeons, a single misstep can lead to a gruesome death.
I just don't know how they can sleep peacefully in a room where someone has died.
