Fortunately, Song Xin reacted quickly and pushed me away in time, but I still got stabbed by Zhong Ting on my arm.

Luo Mengying and the others quickly reacted as well. They picked up the tools we had prepared earlier and successfully restrained Zhong Ting.

"If you let me kill her, I can take you out of here!" Zhong Ting struggled while shouting.

Song Xin found the other half of the note on her.

It was written on it: "Kill six people who tell you horror stories, and you can return to reality."

"Let me go, let me kill her. I only need one more. I could have left this haunted place!" Zhong Ting shouted hoarsely, but Luo Mengying, Zhang Junhan, and Chen Taotao, who were holding her, did not loosen their grip.

"Delusional! We won't let you kill anyone!" Chen Taotao shouted at Zhong Ting.

Suddenly, Zhong Ting laughed.

"Hmph, don't think I didn't see the corpse over there on the balcony. You guys killed her, right?

"Don't pretend to be innocent and righteous.

"Let me tell you, I'm dead, and you're not far from death!"

Zhong Ting's words silenced all of us.

Killing Wu Yuqi was indeed a guilt that we couldn't erase for the rest of our lives.

Suddenly, Zhong Ting was dragged into the air by an unseen force. Chen Taotao and the others couldn't resist and were forced to let go.

Zhong Ting, suspended in the air, was twisted forcefully as if she were a towel held by two invisible and immense hands.

The sound of bones cracking filled the air, and blood dripped incessantly, staining the ground red.

Finally, Zhong Ting's body was twisted into a lump and fell to the ground with a "thud."

After Zhong Ting's death, the air pressure in the dormitory became extremely low.

"Don't you find it strange? The rule note given to Zhong Ting didn't prohibit her from not killing, so why didn't she succeed in killing me and instead received punishment?" I thought of this and had a bad premonition, so I quickly broke the silence.

"Then there is only one possibility. The feasible rules on the note allow you not to follow them, but once you start, you have to complete them. Otherwise, you will be punished," Song Xin deduced.

After listening to Song Xin's words, everyone present was shocked.

So that's what Zhong Ting meant when she said, "You're not far from death."

She knew about this rule a long time ago. It automatically started after I told the story.

And we were faced with only two choices.

Regardless of which one, punishment awaited us.

After a moment of silence, Luo Mengying walked towards the restroom.

I could sense that something was wrong with her, so I grabbed her.

"Dormitory leader, we will definitely come up with a way to leave," I reassured her.

Luo Mengying smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "I need to use the restroom."

After Luo Mengying entered the restroom and locked the door, she suddenly burst into tears.

We quickly went over and knocked on the door, asking her what was wrong.

"I'm sorry, I can't take it anymore.

"We killed our own friends with our own hands to survive and had to anxiously search for rules.

"If things continue like this, I'll really go crazy. I just want to leave this place as soon as possible, no matter how."

While crying, Luo Mengying expressed her despair.

"Come out first, don't do anything foolish!"

"I've already made up my mind. I'll leave my fate to a higher power. I'm sorry, everyone."

Then, Luo Mengying began to tell a horror story.

This time, her second story went against the rules.

In other words, soon someone would be punished.
