Chapter 26 You guys are really brave.
Yan Junchi froze halfway through turning his head.
Gao Yang lay on his side on the bed, less than ten centimeters from Yan Junchi's face, his face almost touching Yan Junchi's.
His skin had turned a bluish-gray like the belly of a dead fish, cold and lifeless; his eyes were staring wide open, the pupils covered with a layer of gray, like dusty glass beads; his lips were wide open, as if frozen in the moment of painful wailing.
The gruesome sight of his death made Yan Junchi jump up instantly, even leaping to the ground.
Only after suppressing the churning in his stomach did Yan Junchi have the mind to examine Gao Yang's body.
Strangely, Yan Junchi did not see any wounds on his body.
There was no blood on the bed board, nor any sign of fighting or struggle... but all the bones in Gao Yang's body were inexplicably broken inside.
Without the slightest warning, he died silently in the darkness while he slept, right next to him.
Cold sweat instantly soaked through the clothes on my back, and the icy chill froze my limbs and bones.
It's happening again...
Fang Haoyu has no visible wounds, but all the blood in his body has been drained; Gao Yang also has no visible wounds, but all the bones in his body have been broken!
What's with the death mechanics in this game?!
Surely it's not that the game didn't design wounds, so no one sees any wounds when players die?!
Thinking of this, Yan Junchi looked around and finally found the only thing with a blade in the corner of the room—a sickle.
The sickle didn't look particularly sharp, but with enough force, it could still cut through flesh. At least, looking at the fresh, bleeding wound he had just inflicted on his palm, and feeling the real pain emanating from it, Yan Junchi confirmed that this wasn't a bug in the game.
If it wasn't a game bug, then how did those two people die?
If Fang Haoyu's previous death was due to him going to a villager's house alone and the villagers not knowing what had happened, Yan Junchi could still maintain a certain level of composure regarding Fang Haoyu's strange "death." However, the fact that Gao Yang, who had been with him the whole time, died silently and in such a tragic manner right beside him immediately triggered an alarm in Yan Junchi's mind.
What exactly happened last night?
Why didn't he hear a thing?!
wrong……
Yan Junchi suddenly remembered that he had slept exceptionally soundly in the game last night (during game time)...
Could this be an intentional design by the game?
Could it be that Gao Yang was actually making noise last night, but because he was sound asleep, he didn't hear anything?
Confirming this is easy; just ask Tian Baiwei and the others in the other room...
Before Yan Junchi could go out to look for her, he heard Tian Baiwei's voice approaching.
"Hey, Yan Junchi, Gao Yang, have you seen Xuan—"
A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. Tian Baiwei pushed the door open without any hesitation and rushed in: "We woke up this morning to find Xuanxuan missing—Gao Yang!!!"
The aggressive tone changed completely after seeing Gao Yang lying motionless on the bed, his death so tragic.
"What's wrong? What happened...?"
Attracted by Tian Baiwei's commotion, Geng Yao couldn't wait for Tian Baiwei to move aside and squeezed in from behind, "Let me see—my God! What happened?!"
Yan Junchi was already suffering from a throbbing headache and a throbbing pain in his temples because of Gao Yang's death. The two girls' sharp voices (from Yan Junchi's perspective) were like two razor blades, mercilessly piercing his temples, making his head buzz even more. He said impatiently, "How would I know?!"
"ha?"
Seeing Yan Junchi's attitude, Tian Baiwei crossed her arms and retorted without hesitation, "You didn't know you were sleeping in the same room as him?"
"What's wrong with just one room?!"
Yan Junchi immediately retorted sarcastically, "You also share a room with Liang Lexuan, and you still don't know where she is, do you?"
Tian Baiwei... Tian Baiwei was right.
This morning, after she woke up, she was still marveling at how she had actually taken a nap in the game and slept quite comfortably. Just as she was about to turn around and ask Xuanxuan if she had done the same, she turned her head and found that the person next to her was empty.
A seat away, Geng Yao was fast asleep, smacking her lips as if she had eaten something delicious.
Only Liang Lexuan, who was sleeping in the middle, was nowhere to be seen.
Startled, Tian Baiwei quickly shook Geng Yao awake and asked if she had seen Liang Lexuan.
But like her, Geng Yao only knew that she slept very well last night, and knew nothing else.
The two searched the room but found no signs of a struggle. Liang Lexuan had vanished as if she had evaporated into thin air. If Tian Baiwei hadn't known that Lexuan wasn't the type to leave without a word, she would have assumed that Lexuan couldn't handle the game's horror and had quit the night before.
They originally wanted to ask the boys to help them look for the person, but they didn't expect that what happened here was much more serious than what happened on their side.
"What did Gao Yang do last night?" Tian Baiwei examined Gao Yang's body and turned to ask Yan Junchi.
Tian Baiwei still remembered how she died the first time she played the game. Clearly, there were certain rules that had to be followed in this game and in this village.
She wanted to know if Gao Yang had broken any rules.
Yan Junchi no longer intended to cause trouble, and answered Tian Baiwei's questions, though his tone was somewhat hesitant: "I didn't do anything..."
"After you said yesterday that the box was dangerous, Gao Yang... Gao Yang thought you were exaggerating and deliberately scaring us, so he..."
"He took the box down and stomped on it a few times, mocking you for being a coward..."
Tian Baiwei: "..."
You guys are really brave...
