Returning to the bedroom, the live stream room was packed with billions of viewers.

The online viewers were discussing what the brother said.

"Can we trust this guy? If we do as he says, would it violate the seventh rule?"

"Hey, what if the seventh rule is wrong, and we need to believe the brother's words to pass the game? What should we do?"

"The brother looks handsome. I think what he said is right!!"

"What? Looks matter even in this survival game? Everyone, let's stop talking and let the participants decide for themselves!"

I couldn't make up my mind either. My head was throbbing.

In the game, every choice was a matter of life and death for all of humanity in the region. This kind of fear and tension that drove people mad was mixed with a strange excitement that made it hard to think calmly.

It's addictive.

It was already past midnight, the fourth day in the game.

Shortly after I fell asleep, there was a louder movement under the bed than before.

An ear-piercing cry like that of a baby

came from under the bed. The bed kept shaking. The monstrous creature, with its huge undulations in the darkness, was hiding under the bed, about to overturn it and crawl out.

Sticky tentacles appeared and disappeared, leaving green marks on the white sheets.

The bedside lamp was broken again. I pressed the switch several times, but there was no response. I had to give up and get off the bed. In the pitch-black night, I leaned close to the bed crack to see what was inside.

Just like last time, the bed returned to calm under my gaze.

The empty room echoed with the sound of my rapid breathing. Even though I knew the third rule clearly, I couldn't control my fear.

Back on the bed, I wrapped myself in the blanket like a cocoon, lying stiffly in the middle of the bed, not daring to move.

When I could no longer hold on and was about to fall asleep, a slight chill breeze blew past my ear.

All the hair on my body stood on end!

The windows in the room couldn't be opened, and there couldn't be any air movement unless there was another "person" in the room.

It was leaning against the bed next to me, watching me!

Heavy breathing, as if it were right behind me.

So close that I could see it when I turned my head...

My brother's words came to mind: "If you hear breathing after falling asleep, don't open your eyes."

What should I choose?

I hesitated for only a few seconds, then suddenly threw off the blanket and looked at the position beside me.

There was nothing there. The breathing sound just now seemed like an auditory hallucination, but the chain under the desk lamp was shaking gently.

I didn't fully believe my brother's words, so does that mean I didn't violate the seventh rule?

"That was close!"

"Did Nana violate the seventh rule? She hesitated but still opened her eyes. How do we count that?"

"The seventh-day rule must be wrong! Brother's words can be trusted, otherwise those monsters would have appeared long ago!"

The audience gradually reached a consensus that the seventh rule was wrong, and they could trust the brother's words.

I bit my nails, feeling that the game couldn't be this simple.

It's like a trap covered with green grass, looking normal, waiting for the prey to relax and step on it.

When I woke up again, a whole day had passed inexplicably, and it was already the fifth day in the game.

As expected, it was still dark outside with fierce winds and rain.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A piercing knocking sound came from the door, but no one spoke.

I waited on the bed until the noise outside disappeared, and then the door opened automatically with a creak!

I was terrified, staring at the doorway with caution.

There was nothing dreadful outside the door, only the flickering lights in the corridor.

Gritting my teeth, I groped my way out of the room. There was talking in the living room, along with my mother's eerie laughter.
