Chapter 330: Rumblings in the Dark
Translator: 549690339
If a doll game fails to attract players for a long time, it will start to hunt for prey on its own, shifting locations every seven days. But for game number 24 to have just shifted yesterday and then shift again today, such a situation has never occurred before.
“Number 24? What is number 24?” someone asked in confusion, “Another new game has appeared near the base?”
“It’s the new game that appeared last week, but no one has triggered it. No matter how many people go, the game remains unresponsive.”
So we should be safe, right?”
“Well, since we can’t trigger it anyway, it doesn’t matter where it moves to… ”
Chu Huaijin slapped the table and shouted:
“Quiet please! Ever since the research team discovered the existence of game number 24, they’ve been monitoring it closely. Although we were unable to determine how many people or what conditions are needed to trigger the game, we can’t take it lightly. The banquet is temporarily cancelled now. Please, everyone, follow the members of the security team and evacuate!”
“Do we really need to evacuate?”
“Just in case, let’s go, there’s gonna be no more drinking… ”
“Hey, let’s stay and continue drinking, even if it does shift over, we can’t trigger it, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“We can’t say it like that, the game always shifts every seven days, and now it suddenly starts to move, there must be some reason… ”
The surroundings were filled with murmuring voices.
Yu Yaqing’s subordinates came in to evacuate the guests.
People were divided into several groups, with five or six people in each group, going in different directions towards the underground parking lot.
The people gathered at the banquet were gradually scattered to different locations in the underground parking lot.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo followed behind Yu Yaqing.
The path before them became darker and darker… they were almost walking in the darkness, the artificial smell of cement paint filling their nostrils, the echo of their footsteps in the empty space reverberated.
“Why we aren’t going up?” Tan Xiao grumbled, “It’s pitch dark here, not a single light, we can’t see anything!”
“We need to distance the guests, once the previous group is far enough away, we can leave.” Yu Yaqing explained calmly, with indifference.
Tan Xiao asked, “How do you know the previous group has left? We can’t see them at all, unless we turn into owls!”
Yu Yaqing irked by his incessant complaints, coldly retorted, “We use sound as a signal.”
No sooner had her words fallen than a very sharp whistle came from the left front, two short and one long.
“Alright! Heard the signal! Let’s get moving!” Tan Xiao, not wanting to stay another second, urged Yu Yaqing.
“No,” she firmly disagreed, “this is the signal for group two. We are group three, we still need to wait a while.”
“Damn it!” Tan Xiao squatted down, extremely annoyed.
Shen Fei was also with them and advised, “Everything is to ensure our safety. We should follow Yu’s instructions.”
No one liked the darkness.
Shen Fei didn’t like it either, darkness always made one feel dangerous, tense, uneasy…
Pan Xiaoxin silently leaned against Tan Xiao. Teacher Cheng took Pan Xiaoxin’s hand and Bai Youwei, holding her rabbit, was muttering to herself in her wheelchair:
“The game is like a hunter. If there is no prey in this place, it changes to another place. If there is no prey in that place, it swaps again… Now the sudden move towards us, could it be because there is its prey here?”
Tan Xiao called out, “Weiwei! It’s already scary enough in this darkness, stop talking!”
Bai Youwei chuckled, “What, are you afraid?”
Tan Xiao grabbed his hair, “I’m not afraid of the game, but when it comes out from your mouth… it’s really creepy.”
Bai Youwei couldn’t help laughing, pleasantly said, “Actually, I’m quite curious about a game that is constantly untriggered. It must be very special.”
In the darkness, Yu Yaqing sneered, “You can pray to be the one to trigger the game later.”
