They had come in such a hurry that preparing a change of clothes was impossible.
Although Pan Xiaoxin was just a child, he didn't want to face the awkwardness of being naked.
Zhu Shu suddenly thought of something and said, "There are children's clothes in the bedroom too."
"Can you stop mentioning those clothes?" Su Man frowned, her face full of displeasure. "Those clothes are not normal. They can't be worn casually!"
Zhu Shu explained, "That's not what I meant. Think about it, aren't the styles of those clothes upstairs just enough for all of us? It feels as if… this house was specially prepared for us. It's really strange."
Su Man got goosebumps. "No way…"
Zhu Shu held up her fingers and said, "You and I, Yan Ge, Lü Ang, Li Li, a total of five people. There are five people on their side too. That's ten people in total. There are exactly ten sets of clothes upstairs, one of which is for a child. That's why I remember it clearly. If the men's and women's styles also match ours, then there's definitely a problem."
There was no doubt about it.
This place was problematic, this house was problematic, everything here was problematic!
Su Man gritted her teeth and stood up. "I'll go upstairs with you and double-check."
The two women went upstairs one after the other.
Bai Youwei watched them for a while, then withdrew her gaze and leaned weakly against the sofa.
The water on the coffee table was no longer so hot. Shen Mo brought it over and helped her up to take a few sips.
Her body was burning hot, her clothes were wet, and her long hair was completely soaked, messily draped around her, dampening the sofa cover and cushions.
After drinking the hot water, her flushed face seemed even redder. Her eyes were deep and empty, and against her white dress, she looked even more like a wounded, gorgeous water demon, fragile and as if she might die at any moment.
Shen Mo frowned slightly, feeling a pang of heartache.
She looked dazed, as if she was dizzy from the high fever.
Shen Mo looked at her, his voice unconsciously softening. He asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Bai Youwei was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.
"I want to take a bath."
Shen Mo said she had a fever, but she felt cold. She wanted a hot bath.
Cheng Laoshi said to Shen Mo, "You take care of her. I'll go upstairs and run the hot water."
Shen Mo nodded.
The two women upstairs came down quickly, their faces grim.
"Those clothes in the wardrobe were indeed prepared for us!" Su Man said with a tense face and a heavy tone. "Ten sets of clothes, exactly enough for nine adults and one child. Among the adult clothes, there are six sets of men's clothing and three sets of women's clothing."
It completely matched their situation.
Shen Mo said calmly, "Think on the bright side. Since the game prepared clothes for all ten people, it means Tan Xiao and Li Li are fine."
"Game?" Su Man frowned. "Are you sure this is a game?"
Shen Mo said, "You can check your weapons."
—In the doll game, fruit knives, scissors, and kitchen knives could be brought in, but military daggers, guns, and ammunition… these obvious weapons couldn't be brought in.
Su Man was distraught.
She paced back and forth in the room, finally walking to the window and looking at the pouring rain outside. She hesitated and said, "If this really is a game, it's too abnormal. We've been here for so long, and we haven't even seen an Overseer. Could it be that this isn't the game venue?"
Shen Mo slowly shook his head. "Besides this house, there's only the hillside and trees. I'm more inclined to believe that the game hasn't officially started yet."
"Maybe…" Su Man bit her nails anxiously, her eyes fixed on the window. "Maybe it's because not everyone has arrived yet. When they come back… the game should start."
Zhu Shu also looked out the window, feeling uneasy.
Out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's lair, the scent of danger was closing in step by step. She didn't know what awaited them this time…
