The room was enveloped in endless darkness.


    A thick Ghost Aura surged forth, causing Cobra to shiver a few times and involuntarily step back.


    "What’s going on in this room?"


    "It''s that guy''s trick," Jiang Xiaobai said.


    "Does he think hiding will stop us from finding him?" ck Bear sneered.


    "But this works too. Whoever catches him first gets the reward. How about we rely on our skills?"


    The others blinked and nodded, showing no objections.


    "Of course, if you''re scared, don''te in. Losing a life in there isn''t worth it."


    ck Bear nced at Princess Yao Yao."Ah, you guys go ahead. I''ll cheer for you from outside," Princess Yao Yao said, shrinking back in fear as she stared into the darkness.


    Except for her, the others all took out their Ghost Creatures, which they used as weapons.


    Under the Protection Mechanism, they had a life as a guarantee, giving them a lot of courage.


    After all, this was a crucial step topleting the main quest, and no one wanted to miss it.


    Led by Cobra and ck Bear, the other four followed them into the room.


    Once inside, they could still see each other, but beyond two meters, their bodies were swallowed by darkness, and nothing was visible.


    "That guy is hiding in some corner. Let''s split up and search; he can''t escape."


    ck Bear''s Ghost Creature was a pair of brass knuckles on his hands. He swung his fist into the darkness ahead and started searching in one direction.


    The others followed his suggestion and scattered.


    "Why aren''t you moving?" ck Rose asked Qin Nuo, who remained still.


    "Anyone who''s watched horror movies knows that splitting up is the dumbest move, leading to an early demise."


    "You think you''re searching for him, but you''re actually giving him a chance to pick you off one by one."


    "Better to stay put and wait for them to tire themselves out, then act." Qin Nuo said calmly, crossing his arms.


    Their group hade in force, giving ck Bear and the others the illusion that the resident of 305 had nowhere to run and was hiding.


    In reality...


    Perhaps they had already been watching us.


    ck Rose''s eyes shifted, thinking that in such a situation, this guy could still think calmly.


    She hesitated but didn''t move, standing behind Qin Nuo.


    Covered by the ck aura, the room''s structure seemed altered, the space muchrger than they had imagined.


    In the darkness, there were asional noises, the sounds of ck Bear and the others searching.


    Qin Nuo asked the Blood-Eyed Ghost, "Can you catch that guy''s scent?"


    "These Ghost Auras have a confusing effect. It''s mixed in with them, like a drop of water in the ocean, impossible to find."


    The Blood-Eyed Ghost replied coolly.


    "Unless you can mark it with a special scent!"


    Qin Nuo''s eyes flickered as he pondered a strategy.


    At that moment, footsteps approached from ahead.


    ck Bear returned, panting and somewhat frustrated, "Fing hell, it''s like being blind. Who knows where that guy is hiding!"


    Soon, the other three returned as well.


    All came back empty-handed.


    "This isn''t working," Cobra thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can ask other residents for help; they might have a way."


    The residents here aren''t friendly with that guy, so asking for help shouldn''t be hard.


    "I have a good rtionship with one resident; I''ll go ask them," Jiang Xiaobai said proudly.


    As he was about to turn and leave, Qin Nuo suddenly said, "Its goal was to lure us in."


    "Do you think it will just sit and wait?"


    Cobra frowned, "What do you mean?"


    "Haven''t you noticed? Among you four, one person''s scent has changed."


    At these words, the four of them all changed expressions and stepped back.


    Qin Nuo''s gaze was indifferent, "Will youe out yourself, or should I drag you out?"


    ck Bear saw Qin Nuo nce at him and said in a deep voice, "Why are you looking at me? There''s nothing wrong with me!"


    Qin Nuo said nothing, flipping his hand to reveal a machete, which he swung swiftly at someone.


    But it wasn''t ck Bear.


    It was the yer with the game name "Jackson," who had been mostly silent.


    The other reacted quickly, taking a rapid step back to dodge the strike.


    It let out a strangeugh, its appearance slowly changing into a horrifying face that looked like it had been yed, emitting a piercing, unpleasantugh.


    "How about we y a game of hide and seek? If you can''t catch me, one of you will die randomly."


    "The game starts now!"


    Bang!!


    The door mmed shut.


    Outside, Princess Yao Yao was startled, patting the door and shouting, "Hey, why''d you close the door?"


    As ck Rose and the others'' faces changed dramatically, the Face-ying Ghost''s figure slowly merged back into the darkness.


    In a sh, Qin Nuo pulled out a bottle of boy''s urine and hurled it urately into the darkness.


    With a bang, the foul smell of urine filled the air.


    Everyone covered their noses, looking at Qin Nuo in disbelief.


    What the hell! This guy carries a bottle of urine with him; what kind of bizarre move is this?


    The Ghost Aura was now mixed with a strong smell of urine.


    The Face-ying Ghost, drenched in urine, looked twisted and ugly.


    The stench of the boy''s urine made it itch all over, extremely ufortable.


    It red at Qin Nuo, who was in the open, with murderous intent, "This damned kid!"


    Bang!


    A dull sound came from the darkness.


    The group looked over and saw a headless corpse fall to the ground, followed by a head rolling out.


    It was Jackson''s head.


    The expression was bewildered, clearly not having realized what happened before losing his head!


    When they split up, the Face-ying Ghost had already killed Jackson, then took on his appearance to blend in, intending to pick them off one by one, but it didn''t expect to be identified by Qin Nuo.


    The next second, Jackson''s body suddenly turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared.


    ck Bear and the others weren''t surprised.


    That''s the Protection Mechanism.


    Jackson had already used his immunity token, and after his first death, he would revive in his room.


    Jackson escaped the predicament.


    But at a great cost!


    Their faces simultaneously turned grim. Although they had an immunity token, no one wanted to use it here, especially with seven more days of the game left!


    In the darkness, a pair of ghostly hands silently reached out.


    Cobra sensed something and suddenly shouted, "ck Bear, behind you!"


    ck Bear reacted quickly, turning to swing his brass-knuckled fist.


    However, before he could hit, his entire arm was torn off!


    With a thud, the blood-soaked arm fell to the ground.


    ck Bear''s face turned pale as he stepped back, looking at his empty left arm, his face twitching violently.


    "Go! Break the door and get out!"


    Cobra and the others finally realized the seriousness of the situation.


    The resident of 305 was far more formidable than they had imagined, and with the enemy in the dark and them in the light, the result would only be them getting killed one by one!


    As they turned and ran towards the door.


    The ck aura suddenly surged, and the door vanished before their eyes in an instant, plunging everyone into a deep abyss of despair...
