It was a man's voice, not Sui Feng's. It should be the last group of players coming downstairs. Judging from the footsteps, there were probably two people.

Xiao Jin looked at the time, it was 1:57. These two were lucky enough to get back on time.

Seeing that the time had reached two o'clock, when the second hand passed the highest point, Xiao Jin had already lit the candle and stood in front of the mirror with his eyes closed.

Next to them, five small alarm clocks were neatly placed on the table. Xiao Jin had already set the time for them in advance. At 2:05, they would start ringing on time to remind Xiao Jin that the time was up.

In this way, Xiao Jin doesn't have to worry about opening his eyes early.

Then, she closed her eyes lightly, folded her hands on her chest, and gently touched her lips and teeth: "BloodyMary, BloodyMary, BloodyMary..."

As the last syllable slowly dissipated into the air, at first, the surroundings remained suffocatingly quiet, with only the ticking sound of the alarm clock's hands.

However, this tranquility did not last long. An indescribable chill quietly crept up Xiao Jin's back, and then a subtle but clearly audible whisper, like the sound of a ghost floating in the night wind, quietly sounded in her ears.

The whispers were faint at first, but as time passed, they grew louder and louder until they were deafening.

Xiao Jin felt a splitting headache, as if countless small hands were tearing at her nerves, making her almost lose herself in the endless noise.

At the same time, the outside world.

The candlelight in front of the mirror also underwent a strange change at this moment. The originally warm red light faded instantly, replaced by a cold white light with a few faint blue lights in the middle.

At this moment, it seemed as if something was connected to reality, and the air around her seemed to solidify. In the mirror that Xiao Jin was facing, her figure gradually disappeared, and the mirror gradually became blurred, replaced by a tall black shadow.

But Xiao Jin, with his eyes closed, could not perceive these changes at all.

The whispers still lingered, and each one seemed to penetrate Xiao Jin's skull directly.

Suddenly, the whisper turned into a sharp and piercing scream. Xiao Jin clenched his teeth, sweat oozed from his forehead, and warm liquid slowly flowed into his ears.

At the same time, a heavy and dragging footsteps came from far away in the bathroom, and every step seemed to step on Xiao Jin's nerves. Xiao Jin's muscles were tense, as if an arrow was about to leave the string, ready to be launched.

Just when the figure was about to completely cover Xiao Jin, a cold and sticky big hand, like a maggot attached to the bone, climbed up the back of Xiao Jin's hand silently.

The touch was as slippery as a snake's tongue, carrying a sickening chill, as it slowly moved up her arm. Wherever it passed, Xiao Jin's skin involuntarily broke out in goose bumps.

It continued to move, sliding across the shoulders, and finally stopped at the side of Xiao Jin's neck, stroking it gently, as if looking for some vulnerable breakthrough.

Xiao Jin's breathing became rapid and disordered at this moment. She kept in mind that she couldn't open her eyes because the time was not up yet.

Everything around seemed to be still, leaving only the touch of the cold fingers slowly moving along her neck and Xiao Jin's intense heartbeat, echoing in the silence.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed dissatisfied with Xiao Jin's reaction.

He grasped the slender neck with his big hands and slowly tightened them.

Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly shrank, and a feeling of suffocation surged into her heart. She bit her lips, and every breath became extremely difficult. Her face turned from white to red, and then to purple and black, and the oxygen in her chest was squeezed out bit by bit.

The almost sacrificial posture made Xiao Jin look extremely vulnerable, but if you follow her arms down, you can see that Xiao Jin's hands were clenched into fists, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

A bright light burst out from her palm, arcs of electricity leaped, and broken shadows were like a dragon emerging from the sea, ready to go.

However, considering that the game would not contradict itself, Xiao Jin planned to wait a while. With her reaction speed, it would only take a few minutes to activate the 'Crystal Armor' to counterattack.

In the end, Xiao Jin was slightly better.

When the oxygen in her chest was about to run out and her consciousness began to blur, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, like thunder in the sky, shattering the deathly silence in the room.

On the table next to me, five alarm clocks were ticking in unison, making a deafening sound.

At the moment when the voice sounded, the big hand that was strangling Xiao Jin's throat also instantly dissipated like smoke, leaving no trace. At the same time, the screaming in her ears also stopped abruptly.

"Hoo~cough cough cough!"

Xiao Jin took a deep breath. She had never felt that silence was such a precious thing.

Just as Xiao Jin was about to open his eyes, a faint murmur came from his ears. Xiao Jin paused and closed his eyelids again.

Isn't the game over? Why is there still noise?

Xiao Jin wasn't sure, but for safety's sake, she chose to close her eyes first.

Another murmur was heard, and this time Xiao Jin seemed to hear it more clearly. She tilted her ear and concentrated.

"……%*&#……I&*……"

It turned out to be a language that Xiao Jin had never known before. After realizing this, Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then her brain seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer.

'boom! ’

Xiao Jin covered her head with her hands, a look of pain on her face. Her body swayed and she almost lost her balance, with her hands on the sink.

【Ding--】

In a daze, Xiao Jin seemed to hear a familiar voice.

The pain subsided, Xiao Jin gradually woke up, and the sounds in his ears became clearer.

[…Player…Congratulations…on your success]

Yes, Xiao Jin shook his head.

The system will give a prompt when you complete the game, but why did it take so long for the alarm to ring before the system notification arrived?

This time, Xiao Jin opened his eyes with peace of mind. The candle in front of him was still burning, but the flame had already burned to the bottom of the candle and was about to go out.

The mirror above the washstand was completely shattered. Through the broken lens, Xiao Jin reached out and touched his ears and neck.

There was nothing. Was everything just an illusion?

There was no blood from the ears, and no hand marks on the neck. There were only a few alarm clocks scattered on the table, and their positions were completely different from before the game started.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin picked up the alarm clock to check, only to find that the hands had just passed 2:06.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin immediately understood that his alarm clock must have been tampered with. The disappearance of the big hand and the whisper was just a trap set by the game for Xiao Jin!
