I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 246 Why Don’t You Listen?

Shen Yao walked around the yard on the first floor and didn't notice anything strange.

There was no entrance to any secret room or basement in the yard. The only thing that concerned him was the locust tree in the middle of the yard.

This locust tree is very tall, and its branches extend toward one side of the building.

Standing by the window on the second floor, it seems that you can reach out and touch the branches and leaves.

However, he did not go up to the second floor to see the distance.

The trunk of the locust tree is very thick, and it takes about three people to form a circle and hug it. There are several thick branches on it, which are covered by dense leaves and you can't see anything clearly.

Its downward roots are surrounded by a circle of red bricks embedded in the soil. The soil in the middle is dry, with a few leaves lying on it.

Shen Yao walked around and raised his hand to touch the tree trunk, but there was nothing special.

When he went up to the third floor, Zhou Ze was standing near the stairs.

"I don't quite understand, what should I do?"

He leaned one hand against the wall, looking anxious.

Shen Yao glanced at both sides of the corridor, gestured towards Zhou Ze's ward, and walked towards that direction.

"There are eight players in each plane. But I believe you saw the prompt on the panel before. One player died. Now there are seven of us left."

"In the current plane, everyone has their own character name and related events."

“Maybe you’re a character close to the main story, maybe not.”

"At present, in this nursing home, patients can only move around on the first floor and their own ward floor, not on other floors."

"What we are looking for is the story that this plane wants us to explore, and what the plane rules say about finding out the truth about the fire."

It was not until Zhou Ze walked into the ward that Shen Yao raised his hand to close the door, then slowly walked to the window.

From the window of Zhou Ze’s ward, he could see the courtyard in the middle of the sanatorium, especially the locust tree.

The side that the locust tree faces is exactly opposite to Zhou Ze's room.

Therefore, when standing in Zhou Ze's room, one cannot touch the locust tree.

However, you can observe the height of the locust tree.

It's about halfway up the third floor.

Looking down from the opposite side, the height of a floor is about three and a half meters, and the tree is about nine meters.

It seems that each floor is built quite high.

Shen Yao raised his hand and pressed it on the windowsill. He turned his head and saw Zhou Ze sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. For no reason, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, there's no point in worrying. You might as well put some effort into finding clues."

"For example, on your floor, you should pay attention to those people whose rooms have special layouts. It's possible that they have some special relationship with the sanatorium."

"There are also those people from other planes who may actively talk to you. Maybe you can find out about your own identity and story."

"Of course, it's best if you don't have a story yourself, because then the chances of you leaving the plane will be higher."

Zhou Ze remained silent for a while before he looked up at Shen Yao.

"How long are we going to stay in this place?"

"Today is the 4th. We may be able to get out on the 8th, but before that we must abide by the rules of the game and find out the truth."

Shen Yao's explanation did not make Zhou Ze relax for a moment. He seemed to become even more nervous, with his brows furrowed.

"Are there any monsters here?"

he asks.

Shen Yao didn't answer, but turned his head and looked out the window.

Looking out of Zhou Ze's window, he could see the edge of the rooftop opposite.

There were circles of barbed wire lying across it, as if to completely cover the place.

Looking up, I could only see a small piece of sky, which was blue and cloudless, but a little dazzling.

I don't know where the sunshine comes from, but all in all, it looks like a pretty good day today.

"If you'd like to walk around a bit, you can come to the courtyard on the first floor after dinner."

He did not say those horrifying things. After all, he had not even seen what the things in this plane looked like.

If you describe it like this to a newcomer, it would really be shocking, right?

Having said this, he walked towards the door and said, "I have already seen the rooms on this floor when I was supervising the medication this morning. There is nothing special. You just need to pay attention to the people who take the initiative to talk to you."

This is pretty good for newcomers.

Shen Yao came out of the room. There were several people in hospital gowns wandering in the corridor. At the corner at the end of the corridor, a woman with long hair was squatting.

Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head to look at Shen Yao, but quickly lowered her head.

He frowned, but did nothing and just walked down the stairs.

Zhou Youyou curled up in the quilt for a while before slowly poking his head out.

The room was spacious and bright. A little wind seemed to be blowing in through the open window, and the white walls looked as bright and clean as new.

It seemed as if everything she had just seen was fake.

She shook her head and turned carefully to look at the door of the ward, but there was nothing.

After a long time, Zhou Youyou slowly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to pat his chest, and slowly sat up from the bed.

However, his back was still pressed tightly against the head of the bed.

Was that a dream? Or did it really happen?

Zhou Youyou recalled everything that had just happened in silence. She raised her hand, looked at her clean palm, and covered her head in pain.

After lunch, she checked all the rooms on this floor according to what Gu Chaoxi and the others had said in the morning.

There was no special layout of the rooms; the layout of every room was the same as hers.

She thought nothing was wrong, so she went back to her room to get some sleep.

But not long after she lay down and closed her eyes, she felt someone knocking on her door.

She covered herself with the quilt but couldn't block out the sound, so she got up angrily and went to open the door, only to see the doctor in charge of this floor standing outside.

The doctor was not wearing a mask at this moment. His eyes were still normal, but the lower half of his face was completely occupied by his mouth.

The mouth was wide open, and the fangs inside seemed to be still growing downwards, covered with a layer of mucus.

Seeing her open the door, the doctor's eyes blinked, and then slowly turned red.

The corners of that mouth stretched towards the ears, emitting a strange smile.

"Why don't you listen? I told you to take medicine, why didn't you take it?"

He raised his hands, and Zhou Youyou saw that his hands were covered with black cracks, with black residues falling out from them.

On those hands, there was only a little white on the nail shells.

"Oh, no, get out of here!"

Just as the hands were about to strangle her neck, she finally came to her senses, took a step back with trembling legs, and raised her hand to slam the door.

Unfortunately, this is of no use to the doctor.

With just a slight wave of the hands, a hole was left on the wooden door.
