Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

Fortunately, Sheng Jingyu couldn't see the comments on Liang Zaibing's channel, otherwise, flipping the table would have been the least of his worries.

Sheng Jingyu grinned, revealing his sharp canine teeth, his smile full of malice. "I heard that people who cheat on their partners get chopped into pieces in the underworld and given to their spouses and lovers. I wonder if you'll regret it then."

Liang Zaibing reflexively retorted, "Do you really want my corpse?"

"You!" Sheng Jingyu was so angry that he was about to use a cursed object on the spot.

In the end, Jiang Qingjian couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to break up the fight, saying, "Calm down, this is a dungeon, do you think this is child's play?"

After entering the game, Sheng Jingyu awakened a high-level talent and had a smooth journey. He was also treated well when he joined Thornbird and his personality was spoiled too much.

Jiang Qingjian had emphasized to him no less than twenty times that no matter what level of dungeon it was, he should not be careless and should deal with it calmly and composedly, but it seemed that he had not listened to a word of it.

Sheng Jingyu reluctantly shut his mouth, still glaring at Liang Zaibing.

Liang Zaibing, feigning superiority, scrutinized Jiang Qingjian and Li Xuan, saying, "You should admit who did what about this safety amulet and the subsidy application."

“I was the one who made Yu Nian’s subsidy application rejected,” Li Xianxian admitted. “I sent photos to the counselor to report him, saying that I saw him using an Apple computer and that he was pretending to be poor to cheat for subsidies.”

In fact, Yu Nian borrowed that computer from her roommate to finish her homework.

Jiang Qingjian readily admitted, "I told him I could help him post information online to find his family, but I would need the keepsake from back then."

What happened next was quite simple. Not long after Yu Nian gave him the safety amulet, it was lost. After Jiang Qingjian sincerely apologized, Yu Nian didn't pursue the matter further, since he had only meant well.

This gives us a general understanding of what happened back then.

Because of a cruel joke, Yu Nian was tricked and bullied, and the things she cherished were taken away one by one. In despair, she was seduced by a faceless wax figure and jumped off the tallest building.

Even in death, they cannot find peace; they have become part of the curse.

It's difficult to induce someone to kill, but it's not so difficult to persuade them to participate in a prank game.

No one physically killed Yu Nian, yet everyone was a murderer.

But the things they did were things that the law couldn't punish; at most, they could be considered morally flawed, "harmless jokes."

Yu Nian, now a vengeful ghost, naturally used her power to take revenge on all of them.

But Liang Zaibing always felt that something was wrong.

"Don't you guys think this B-rank dungeon is a little too safe?"

It was also a B-level dungeon. He had escaped death countless times before. In this dungeon, apart from being tricked twice because his identity was so hated, he was still narrowly escaped unscathed.

Everyone else has been safe and sound until now, but Yun Jie was unlucky and died right after landing.

Ivan thought for a moment, somewhat puzzled, and then hesitated before asking, "Really?"

...He forgot that this was a vacation notebook for him.

"The boss teleported me into the lake. I surfaced to try and finish him off, but he disappeared."

Worried that the boss was using a diversionary tactic, Ivan immediately returned to his room in the villa, only to be mistaken for a vengeful ghost.

Now everyone realized something was wrong.

The ghost's attack is far too childish; even the terrifying-looking wax figure has no offensive power, it's just scary.

However, Yun Jie, who was also replaced by a wax figure at that time, was actually dead.

What are the differences between him and Ivan?

A strange thought came to Liang Zaibing's mind.

"It's a wax figure!"

Jiang Qingjian naturally picked up the conversation, "Yun Jie's wax figure broke, and he didn't come back; Ivan's wax figure didn't break, and he came back."

"so……"

"Wait—" Liang Zaibing suddenly looked up at Jiang Qingjian, "Isn't that your wax figure in Yun Jie's room?"

Jiang Qingjian blinked, his tone quite frank, "The snake bite marks were faked by me. The actual cause of death was cerebral ischemia due to compression of the carotid artery."

Mo Lin emerged from Jiang Qingjian's shirt sleeve, raising its triangular head and hissing as if seeking praise.

Liang Zaibing just wanted to beat up the snake and its owner. It's really "honest" to betray even your teammates.

Where is your wax figure?

"Trying to hide your wax figure isn't a heinous crime, is it?" Jiang Qingjian's nonchalant gaze swept over everyone present. "Isn't that what everyone else does?"

"Aren't you the same?"

Liang Zaibing was completely speechless.

"So...it was me who ruined him?" Li Xuan's voice trembled slightly.

He wouldn't feel guilty if he had killed another player, but Yun Jie died.

When Song Yinghao took them in, the only thing she emphasized was that jealousy was acceptable, but they couldn't harm each other. She didn't want her lovers to hurt each other because of some trivial possessiveness.

If Song Yinghao discovers that they have hurt other lovers, their fate will be far more severe than simply being kicked out of the house.

Fear made Li Xuan reflexively kneel at Song Yinghao's feet, looking up at her with the most pitiful expression, begging for a bit of forgiveness.

"Hello... I, I didn't mean to, you have to believe me."

Song Yinghao lovingly stroked Li Xian's slightly trembling chin, "Silly child, what are you afraid of? You're just not smart, you didn't mean any harm, don't blame yourself."

Why do I feel like I've been scolded?

"Get up."

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still readily stood up and sat back down in his previous seat.

As soon as he adjusted his glasses, he noticed a subtle change in how others were looking at him.

Liang Zaibing patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you work hard all the time."

It's true that serving a king is like serving a tiger; being a kept man is definitely not as easy as it seems.

-----

"That's enough." Mo Qiuping coughed lightly, interrupting their meaningless chatter. "Let's focus our energy back on our path to rebirth."

"The current speculation is that players will die after their own wax figure shatters."

Fortunately, they hadn't disposed of the wax figure out of caution, otherwise it would have died without any explanation.

Sheng Jingyu asked in confusion, "This wax figure clearly has Yu Nian's face, so why is it tied to our fates? And the wax figure's death wasn't because everyone killed him..."

Sheng Jingyu stopped halfway through his speech.

Yes, none of them killed Yu Nian, so why are there so many wax figures with different death expressions, and why are they strictly corresponding to players one by one?

What does the manner of death of a wax figure represent?

“I guess,” Liang Zaibing stroked his chin, “that the name of the dungeon item ‘Yu Nian’s Wax Figure’ doesn’t refer to a wax figure of him personally, but rather to a wax figure he made for us.”

"Or rather, you can think of the wax figures as us; in Yu Nian's view, we would die in this way."

"As for why they are all made up of Yu Nian's face, it may be due to the supernatural properties of the wax figures themselves, or it may be to mislead us."

"After all, most people wouldn't easily touch a wax figure with their own face on it, right?"
