Help, I've become a paper man

"Congratulations to the players for making it through the day. There are 7 players participating in the game, 6 of them are currently alive, the plot progress is 15%, and the exploration progress is 3%. Please continue to work hard in the coming time."

Song Yi opened his eyes when the prompt sounded. The familiar voice of Noah's Ark brought bad news again.

He sat up and prepared to get up. The bedroom door opened and Jasmine, who was neatly dressed, walked out. Seeing that he was still in bed, the little girl subconsciously let out an "ah", causing Song Yi to pull the quilt uncomfortably. For a second, there was the embarrassment that an adult was not as good as a child.

Jasmine spoke first: "You can still wake up."

…Children should speak without restraint, children should speak without restraint.

Song Yi protested: "Sister Moli, I was only slightly injured, and my clothes are indeed ruined. I am still alive, so it is normal for me to wake up."

The unhappiness on Jasmine's face disappeared, she laughed twice, and her face was full of energy and vitality. She explained: "It's not that I doubt you are alive, but from the remaining breath on your body, although it is not a complete beast form, it is also the first time to experience beast transformation, which is still very physically and mentally consuming. It is difficult for a newcomer to bear it.

"Not to mention that the first time you transform into a beast, you will be infected by the beast's desire. The consumption of fighting it is also a tug-of-war. Your standard value is very good."

She spoke in detail and sincerely, and Song Yi also smiled and nodded in cooperation, agreeing with her point of view. In fact, he knew his own business. The so-called "good" mental power was not entirely his ability, and it was not appropriate to say more about the detailed reasons.

Jasmine happened to not be curious about this either. She shook her head and continued, "This is not a normal start for a daily game. Someone died on the first day."

Song Yi recalled the previous conversation and asked, "Won't someone die in a regular start?"

Jasmine shook her head again and replied, "Generally speaking, the first day shows the background and characters, which you can regard as a background introduction. The rules will begin to appear on the second day, and they will become more and more difficult every day until the end. In most daily books, even if you deliberately commit suicide, it is difficult to break the taboos on the first day."

Speaking of this, Song Yi couldn't help but think of last night. When he came back, Jasmine had already fallen asleep. She left a sticky note on the door panel with five big words "Good night, see you tomorrow" written on it. This bodyguard was very cool. After sending the target out for an adventure, he fell asleep directly. Song Yi was very realistic and didn't bother her.

This was the second time the two met after they said goodbye last night.

Jasmine caught his gaze and asked, "What happened to you last night?"

Although she looked like a loli, Jasmine was also a veteran player. She was keenly aware that Song Yi had clues and their employment relationship was stable. Song Yi was not overconfident and simply recounted her entire experience of last night. As he spoke, Jasmine slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, her face becoming increasingly uglier.

After Song Yi finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds, but still didn't hear her reply. Song Yi couldn't help but look confused, especially when he noticed Jasmine's tense little face.

Before he could speak, Jasmine said, "I have a bad guess. I'll tell you after I verify it. Stay with me for the next few days and don't enter the beast state again."

At this point, she hesitated for a moment, but finally said firmly: "We don't have enough of what we need. Let's talk about it after we report to Boss Yan."

Jasmine said this, and Song Yi keenly sensed something was wrong. This sentence seemed to be an excuse. Jasmine didn't want him to transform into a beast for another reason. He didn't dwell on it too much, but still asked: "Is it related to... the one who chased me last night?"

It was difficult for him to describe the pursuer with clear words and he could only give a vague outline, but it was obvious that Jasmine could understand him. His face, which was only eight or nine years old, was wrinkled like he was almost eighty or ninety years old.

Jasmine asked, "Who do you think will die on the first day?"

"Jian Nuanyang?" Song Yi guessed. He encountered a crisis last night and survived. Jian Nuanyang has not left yet. If he encounters a more difficult opponent later, the chances of survival will be slim.

Jasmine shook her head and said, "I guess it's the other one."

This was a hint that wasn't really a hint. Song Yi caught the words in it and subconsciously asked, "Li Yuan?"

Jasmine nodded and said, "She doesn't have to participate in the game today."

Then last night, Jian Nuanyang was...

Song Yi couldn't figure this out, and at the same time, the reminder sound rang again.

"The current time is 7:35 in the morning. Breakfast starts at 8 o'clock sharp. Please be polite and enjoy your breakfast in the banquet hall on time."

They looked at each other and began to wash up in a hurry. In the chaos, the two of them held their toothbrushes in their mouths and chatted a few more sentences incoherently, and had to rely on gestures with their hands to make the other understand the meaning. In short, "This is not right. You should actively participate in activities, stick to the main line, and don't explore blindly."

At 7:54, Song Yi and Jasmine set out. They walked into the banquet hall three minutes in advance before the task was settled. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the chandelier above their heads emitted a soft light. It was unclear whether it was reflecting the sunlight or the lights were not turned off.

The scene before our eyes was now shrouded in light, different from the dark and somewhat mysterious environment of last night. The long table was still in the center, with small round tables on both sides with tray racks on them, giving it a buffet style.

Green, white and beige are the main colors, decorated with lace and flowers. The overall look is warm and lively, which makes the atmosphere at this time even more weird.

The Duke was not here today, and the maid was sitting at the round table, with her hair done up and a sweet smile on her face. No one had chosen their food, but sat at the table, waiting for something. They arrived just in time, a little later than the others, and as soon as they entered the room, they were met with everyone's scrutiny, as if they were re-evaluating them and what happened today.

Song Yi also quickly scanned the people present. The two people he and Jasmine had guessed were not there. He glanced at the wall clock and saw that there were still two minutes left.

They looked at each other, and like everyone else, sat down in their seats from yesterday, listening to the ticking of the clock and looking towards the door, waiting for the last player to arrive. Only then would everyone know who died last night and could infer the cause of death to avoid touching the death item again.

The waiting time was particularly difficult to endure. Until the last minute, the atmosphere became even more tense. Then footsteps were heard outside the door, the "tapping" sound of heels hitting the tiles, which slowly entered the banquet hall. Everyone looked at them more intently.

Under the gaze of everyone, a woman stepped into the banquet hall with a calm expression, just a few seconds before the countdown ended. The door began to slowly close behind her.

"The current time is eight o'clock in the morning. All surviving players are here. It's time for breakfast. I wish you all a happy day in advance. I hope you can have fun in the Duke's manor and get what you want."

"Boom."

The door to the banquet hall is closed.
