I deliver food in a bizarre world

"Dude, are you...you're that...Chen Heiquan who delivers takeout?"

The male student suddenly stared at Chen Mo's face and asked uncertainly.

Chen Mo neither admitted nor denied it: "Let's figure out a way to get out first."

"Yes! Let's go out first!" the female internet celebrity immediately replied, turning the camera back to Chen Mo.

"Family, there's a glimmer of hope! This looks like that delivery guy who's all over the internet; maybe he can help!"

She was completely indifferent to her own situation, instead treating Chen Mo as a new source of traffic, like a tourist.

Chen Mo didn't have time to pay attention to her. He carefully observed the gate and the surrounding walls, trying to see if he could find other entrances.

The small mirror silently spread out from his shadow, exploring the building's structure.

About a minute later, Xiao Jing's voice rang in his mind.

"The main gate is impassable, but there's an abandoned cargo tunnel to the side and rear; you can go in from there."

"But once inside, they will appear directly in the area to the side of the lobby where they are located."

Chen Mo cursed under his breath.

This meant he had no choice but to go in, and there was no way to get around it.

Tonight, he has to be tied to these five strangers!

Isn't this just stirring up trouble and artificially increasing the difficulty?

If he were the only one to win, his chances might be even higher, but upon reflection, he found himself somewhat speechless.

Rule 2 already states that one should not act alone. Can Xiaojing be considered a person? Probably... no, right?

"This is going to be tough..." He glanced at the five bewildered and uneasy faces inside the door and sighed.

"I've found a possible way in," Chen Mo said through the crack in the door. "You guys step back a bit, just in case anything happens. I'll go in and we'll talk."

The people inside took a few steps back, still somewhat doubtful.

Chen Mo went around to the back of the mansion and found a low door that was almost completely covered by vines.

The wooden door panel was already half rotten.

He carefully enlarged the damaged part, and a strong musty smell mixed with a lot of dust surged out.

"Ptooey! Ptooey!" he muttered, waving his hands to brush away the dust. "I'm just bored enough to come here and suffer like this!"

"Xiao Jing, I'm going in. Let me know if anything happens!"

He notified Xiao Jing and Zhao Tianyi, then crouched down and crawled inside.

Inside was a narrow, dark passage filled with clutter. He turned on his flashlight and followed the small mirror's guidance.

At the end of the passage was a half-open wooden door. Pushing it open, a bright and spacious hallway opened up before you.

The five people instantly turned their heads, looking nervously at the door that had been suddenly pushed open.

Then, Chen Mo poked his head out. His appearance cheered everyone up.

"Great! They really got in!" Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Wang also clasped her hands together and murmured, "May the Bodhisattva protect us..."

Female internet celebrity Lily immediately pointed the camera at Chen Mo: "Chen Mo, right? You really got in! Tell me, how are we going to get out?"

Her tone was urgent, and it carried an air of self-importance as she gave orders.

The repairman, Master Liu, glanced at Chen Mo silently, his gaze lingering for a moment on the Tang sword on the side of Chen Mo's backpack, without saying a word.

Chen Mo didn't answer Lily's question, but instead looked at the rules on the wall.

Upon closer inspection, the dark red lettering became even clearer, and a very faint rusty smell could even be detected.

"Have you all remembered the rules?" Chen Mo asked, his voice very low.

Everyone nodded, but their expressions were not very pleasant.

"Keep quiet... and try not to make too much noise," Chen Mo explained. "Not acting alone means that the six of us must stay together from now on. Because we don't know this rule, we can't leave each other's sight for too long."

He glanced at Lily's phone, which was still playing a live stream on speakerphone: "Also, you'd better turn that live stream off. The sound and light could cause trouble."

Lily was immediately unhappy when she heard this: "Why should my live stream be shut down? I have hundreds of thousands of fans watching!"

Her voice grew louder and louder: "This is firsthand information! Besides, wouldn't it be better to have some light? This place is pitch black..."

Before she could finish speaking, the already dim crystal chandelier on the ceiling suddenly started flickering, its light fading and making a hissing sound as if there was a faulty electrical connection!

The light shifted dramatically, casting flickering light and shadow on everyone's faces.

At the same time, a sound like many people sobbing quietly drifted over from somewhere and lingered in everyone's ears.

"Ah!" High school girl Li Meng's eyes widened in fright.

Just as she was about to scream, she realized something, abruptly covered her mouth, and trembled all over.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly pulled her to his side.

Lily turned pale with fright and almost dropped her phone again.

The lights flickered for a few seconds, then slowly returned to their previous dimness, and the sobbing stopped.

Chen Mo remained motionless, tilting his head slightly. Seeing the lights return to normal, he looked sharply at Lily: "Oh? What do you think now?"

Lily was still shaken and dared not speak loudly again, but she stubbornly did not turn off the live stream, only turning the volume down to the lowest setting.

"If you want to live, mind your own business." Chen Mo glanced at her coldly and said no more.

He didn't really like this kind of person; they didn't have the life of a princess, but they had the attitude of one...

Hopefully, the other four will follow orders...

He turned to the others: "We have to find what Rule Three says before sunrise and take it out. That's the key to leaving."

"What is it that's mentioned in the rules?" Zhang Hao asked, voicing everyone's question.

"I don't know, so we can only search." Chen Mo shook his head. "This mansion is quite large, we need to hurry. The rules don't specify the punishment, but are you willing to gamble?"

It's still early before sunrise; there's plenty of time.

"Let's go, together." Chen Mo took the lead and walked towards the archway leading into the depths of the mansion.

He had no choice but to take these burdens with him.

Zhang Hao pulled Li Meng along and they immediately followed, while Aunt Wang also hurriedly got up.

Master Liu followed silently behind the two students, his steps steady.

Lily bit her lip, watching Chen Mo's retreating figure, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes, but she still stomped her foot, gritted her teeth, and followed him.

She hung at the back of the line, holding up her phone to continue her silent live stream.

Six people formed a makeshift team and stepped into the deeper darkness of the Silent Mansion.

The beam of the flashlight swayed in the empty corridor, illuminating the mottled wallpaper, peeling paint, and dusty furnishings.

The surroundings were eerily quiet; the only sounds were their own suppressed breathing and footsteps.

Chen Mo led the way, while Ling Tong warily observed their surroundings.

A thick, gloomy aura flowed slowly through the corridor, even more viscous than in the foyer.

He could sense that something was watching them from the shadows!
