Chapter 67: When it gets dark, close your eyes; there are scratch marks on the door!
Damn it, whatever was outside just opened the door and came in!
Although the situation was unexpected, Qin Nuo remained resolute—do not open his eyes.
The warmth on his face suddenly disappeared.
As much as he didn\'t want to think about it, Qin Nuo knew the candle had gone out!
The door opening was one thing, but the candle being blown out?
The life-saving item mentioned by the game and Mute Sister had lost its effect just like that?
Qin Nuo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the sense of dread growing stronger.
"Ah... ah..."A faint breathing sound echoed in his ear, as if something was right next to his face.
Puffs of warm air blew onto his face...
"Buddy, can you see what it is?"
Qin Nuo couldn\'t help but call out to the Blood-Eyed Ghost.
But there was no response.
Suddenly, the door was slammed hard again.
Immediately after, the warm air by his ear vanished.
The sound of a fierce fight filled the air.
After a moment, the fighting sounds also disappeared.
A voice spoke up: "Caregiver, didn\'t Mute Sister tell you to light the candle as soon as it gets dark?"
"Because you were slow, those things got in. Luckily, I arrived in time. You can\'t die yet. At least give me that jar of Rainbow Candy before you do."
Qin Nuo was stunned.
It was Xiao Yue\'s voice.
The little ghosts from Room 303 came to save him!
"This room is no longer safe. Mute Sister has arranged a safe place. Come with me quickly!"
"Those things will be back soon!"
Then, a cold sensation wrapped around his ankle, a small hand grabbing his foot.
It was Xiao Yue\'s hand.
The little ghosts really came to save him!
Qin Nuo was moved and was about to open his eyes and get up.
But suddenly, he realized something was off.
No, this wasn\'t Xiao Yue!
Qin Nuo was suddenly certain.
Not to mention that Xiao Yue was still sulking with him, why would she suddenly be so nice?
More importantly, he distinctly remembered that girl\'s nails were as sharp as knives!
This time, the grip was tight, but his foot didn\'t hurt at all.
Qin Nuo\'s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
This deception was too realistic.
It could even read his memories to create an illusion!
If he hadn\'t noticed a small detail in time, Qin Nuo would have been fooled.
Qin Nuo was very sure that if he had opened his eyes just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
At the very least, his immunity token would have been gone.
Xiao Yue\'s voice continued to urge him in his ear, sounding as if she was about to cry from anxiety.
It seemed that if Qin Nuo didn\'t leave with her, those things outside the door would really break in and tear him apart!
But Qin Nuo was convinced the voice was fake.
No matter how much it urged, he remained unmoved.
Like a corpse, he lay on the bed.
To distract himself, Qin Nuo even thought about how to start his work tomorrow.
Call all you want, but if I respond, I lose!
Suddenly, Xiao Yue\'s voice disappeared.
The other side seemed frustrated, and the bed beneath Qin Nuo shook violently.
Various terrifying sounds filled his ears, as if the room was about to collapse.
But Qin Nuo was no longer frightened.
He confirmed one thing.
As long as he didn\'t open his eyes, the other side couldn\'t harm him!
Neither soft nor hard tactics worked.
Finally, the other side seemed to realize it couldn\'t deceive Qin Nuo and left, its voice disappearing.
"It\'s gone."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost finally spoke.
But Qin Nuo remained unmoved.
He didn\'t respond or open his eyes.
The Blood-Eyed Ghost was speechless: "It really left."
"And I\'m the real deal, okay!"
Qin Nuo still didn\'t move.
Instead, he turned to a more comfortable sleeping position and gradually fell asleep.
In the end, he really did sleep until dawn.
Qin Nuo woke up groggily, the morning light piercing his eyes.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
His brain, which had been on standby, gradually recalled everything that happened last night.
Qin Nuo turned his head and saw that the white candle had burned out.
But he remembered it seemed to have been extinguished by something last night.
And the room was intact.
The door showed no signs of being slammed open.
In other words, everything that happened last night was an illusion!
The breath on his face, the grip on his ankle, Xiao Yue\'s voice—all fake.
"Finally awake?" the Blood-Eyed Ghost asked.
Qin Nuo thought of something and asked, "Last night, after I lay down, did you talk to me?"
"After you closed your eyes, I didn\'t appear again," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.
Sure enough, the later voice of the Blood-Eyed Ghost was also fake.
Such cunning, even the most scheming would bow down!
He really couldn\'t open his eyes all night.
Opening them meant certain death!
"After you closed your eyes last night, your expression kept changing. Several times, I thought you were going to open your eyes. Fortunately, you\'re not stupid," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.
Qin Nuo smiled wryly.
It\'s not that I\'m not stupid.
If I had reacted a bit slower, I might not be here!
"What exactly was causing trouble?" Qin Nuo asked.
"I don\'t know."
"Just know it\'s terrifying."
"And when night falls, your room echoes with many shrill screams from every corner!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.
Hearing this, Qin Nuo instantly became unsettled.
Damn!
His room was really not clean.
Besides himself, did he have many roommates living with him?
"Not ghosts."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost hesitated and said, "Only sounds, like a final flash of life..."
"Your room must have had many deaths before."
Qin Nuo was speechless.
What kind of luck is this? It\'s not Room 404, but he ended up with a haunted room!
Looking at the clock, it was already six. Qin Nuo didn\'t discuss last night\'s events any further and got up to put on his caregiver uniform.
Just as he was about to leave, the game\'s announcement suddenly sounded.
"A brand new day, face it with a smile. Congratulations to the players who survived the second day. You\'re lucky to have made it through the first night, and of course, this also showcases part of your strength."
"After last night\'s game mode reshuffle, four players have exited the game."
"Roger, Arthur, Hero Xu, and Mountain were killed by the game\'s NPCs, resulting in a failed instance."
"Good luck to the remaining players, keep up the effort!"
"Roger was hunted down."
Qin Nuo murmured.
He remembered that last night, there were only three without white candles, yet four were eliminated.
Those without white candles were all eliminated!
Of those with white candles, one was eliminated, clearly unable to resist and opened their eyes.
Qin Nuo was somewhat surprised.
Fifteen people managed to resist the temptation or pressure and didn\'t open their eyes?
"It seems the players in this instance are much more experienced than those in the previous one."
Murmuring, Qin Nuo opened the door.
Stepping into the hallway, after closing the door, Qin Nuo was stunned.
His door was covered in claw marks, all bloody...
