〖This is a game played by humans and ghosts together. The only participants are all of you here. Among them are three humans, three ghosts, and three people with special abilities, but no one can see through each other's identity...〗

〖The winner can leave here with generous rewards and what you want...〗

〖The condition for victory is that either the human or the ghost is completely dead! 〗

〖Here are some rules and tips——〗

〖You will enter your room in a moment. There are special rules in the room that you need to know. 〗

〖A closed room is absolutely safe. 〗

〖The place where the game is played is the courtyard. 〗

〖When the door of the room does not open automatically, please do not leave the door of your room casually, otherwise it will mean that you will participate in the games in the courtyard in advance. 〗

〖When the room door is open, you can go out and explore the courtyard, but at the same time, your room will be open to the outside. 〗

〖When the bell rings, all the doors will be opened and everyone will return to the long table. 〗

〖Don't sit in someone else's seat, otherwise you will suffer the consequences. 〗

〖The props in your hands may have some special abilities that can help you. 〗

〖Then, the game begins. 〗

Liangfeng felt the pulling force, and then his vision went dark.

When he regained his vision again, he found himself in a small room. The room was not big, but it was very warm.

The decoration is also very simple, with only a bed and a desk, with oil lamps and some books placed on the desk.

Now Liangfeng is sitting on the chair in front of the table.

The oil lamp glowed dimly.

In front of Liangfeng is an envelope.

Liangfeng did not act immediately, but tried to use the system to replace the skin.

Use [Haunted House Adventurer].

Liangfeng felt the power on his skin, but his appearance did not change.

"Can't the skin system change its appearance?" Liangfeng frowned, "The power here can actually suppress the system's ability."

However, although his appearance has not changed, and his skin and equipment have not appeared, his mind has become more flexible, and the system's abilities should have taken effect.

Then Liangfeng looked around, then picked up the envelope, opened it, and took out the contents, which were a letter and a card.

Liangfeng read the letter first.

At the same time, the other eight people... no, the other eight game participants also opened the envelopes in their rooms, and then looked at each other with different expressions.

〖to whom It May Concern:

Your identity is that of an ordinary person, and your door is the first to open. Please be careful of the hunting of ghosts, and wait until those with abilities come to the rescue. However, as an ordinary person, you can find other identity cards in the yard to change your identity and have the power of the card identity. When all ghosts are dead, you will win the game. Prizes will be divided equally among the winners. 〗

Open the door first?

Is it just you or are all ordinary people like this?

Moreover, it can be judged from the letter that the person with special abilities does not appear immediately. He must encounter the ghost first.

Then Liangfeng picked up the card.

On the card was a picture of a shivering man wrapped in a blanket, with a cold face on his face, and some words written underneath.

〖Identity: Ordinary person with a blanket

Props: blanket

Effect: Putting a blanket on your body may help you hide your scent from being discovered by ghosts. 〗

Liangfeng looked at the blanket next to him.

This time, under his gaze, the blanket lit up with a green light.

"Can it be recycled? Wait, it absolutely cannot be recycled now."

Liangfeng patted his cheek. This blanket was the prop he was going to use now. It would be a headache if he recycled it.

Although he still has a system, it doesn't mean he can give up the blanket.

Liangfeng didn't know if his [Resurrectionist] state still existed here, but the blanket could cover it up to a certain extent.

Then Liangfeng began to move around the room, looking for any useful clues, but found nothing of value. There were no special marks on the walls, and there were no small notes stuffed in the cracks.

Finally Liangfeng sat back in front of the chair.

Apart from the letter, the only place with text in this room is a row of books on the desk.

There are eight books in total.

Liangfeng took out the first book. There were no words on the cover, but there were Chinese characters inside the book.

Well, the bloody Chinese characters look a bit weird.

After opening the book, the name of the book - "The Surgeon" is printed on the first page.

"Surgeon?"

Liangfeng turned to the second page.

There are not many words on the second page, it is a self-introduction.

〖I am a surgeon, and my job is to relieve human suffering. We are often called angels in white. I am also proud of my profession. 〗

〖Tonight, when I was getting off work, I felt that there was something unusual about the city today. 〗

Liangfeng continued to read, but found that there was no text in the subsequent pages.

"Remember that Wang Zixuan is a surgeon, right? Could it be that what is written in this book is Wang Zixuan's self-introduction?"

Although there is only this one-page introduction, is it really that simple?

I remember that the words "Because of your performance tonight" appeared on the napkin before, indicating that the people who came here did something special tonight and did not sleep at home as everyone said.

However, tonight I turned into a ghost and carried out activities, but after coming here, I was judged as an "ordinary person". What is the criterion for judgment?

Liangfeng narrowed his eyes.

Also, there are eight books here, which correspond to the remaining eight people except him.

So, do other people have books with his information?

What will be the content of the book?

You must pay attention...

Then Liangfeng wanted to read the second book, but found that the second book was blank.

Liangfeng frowned, opened all the books, and found that the remaining seven books were blank.

"Only one book has words?"

At this time, a clicking sound came from behind Liangfeng.

When Liangfeng looked back, he found that the door behind him had been opened, and the cold wind was blowing in.

Blood-colored words appeared in front of Liangfeng’s eyes——

〖You only have fifteen minutes to explore, and then ghosts will appear in the courtyard. After twenty minutes, people with special powers will come. After thirty minutes, the bell will ring. 〗

The blood words disappeared.

Liangfeng looked around, but found nothing similar to a clock in the room, which meant that he could only estimate the time by himself. Maybe there would be a clock in the courtyard.

"Has the game started?"

Liangfeng stuffed his card and envelope into his pocket, and then held the blanket in his hand.

Although I still want to continue researching the questions, the game has started now and the door has been opened. Even staying in the room does not mean it is safe.

Liangfeng walked out of the room, and the moment Liangfeng walked out of the room, his appearance changed. He was no longer that ordinary person. His hair turned silver-white, and equipment that came with his skin appeared next to him— —Dagger and flashlight.

"Oh, interesting, can the ability of the skin system be used normally in the courtyard?"

Liangfeng looked behind him.

There was only a half-open door behind him, and there was no trace of a room or a house. It was as if the door was standing here alone, but Liangfeng knew that through this door, he could return to his room.

"Are the system's capabilities freely available in the courtyard?"

Liangfeng tried it on all skins and found that it can indeed be used for personal use.

And then...it's time to go.

At the same time, two other people walked out of the room like Liangfeng and began to explore.

Liangfeng once again chose the skin of [Haunted Mansion Explorer].

[Haunted House Explorer] is more suitable for exploring in the courtyard and looking for identity cards.

Compared with ordinary people, Liangfeng, as an "adventurer", has a lot more adventurous spirit, is more flexible, and is more careful.

The disadvantage is that it attracts ghosts more.

"There are fifteen minutes of exploration time. After twenty minutes, the person with special abilities will arrive, which means that you will have to face the ghost for five minutes... No, if you can't meet the person with special abilities, you will have to face the threat of ghosts alone for ten minutes. Five minutes, but undoubtedly the five minutes after fifteen minutes are the most dangerous.”

"Whether we can survive the time after the ghost appears depends on whether we can find a useful identity card in fifteen minutes."

Liangfeng smiled, and then activated [Explorer Enthusiasm]. He did not find any special targets within a hundred meters.

"Does it mean that the skills can't find the identity card?"

The place where Liangfeng went out should be at the edge of the courtyard, because not far away is a black fence with various animal patterns on it, but there are red marks on these patterns, which look like blood, as if telling a story What happened here.

The surrounding environment was relatively deserted, with many shrubs and low trees. The air was somewhat humid, and there was a rotting smell on the ground. The cool breeze looked at the roots of the shrubs, and there seemed to be something there.

Liangfeng walked over curiously, squatted down, and flicked the dagger in his hand.

This is a bone.

Liangfeng didn't know much about bones, but instinctively, he felt that he would never want to know what creature this bone came from.

Liangfeng flicked the dagger, then stood up and looked into the distance.

In the distance, through the trees, a huge building can be vaguely seen. On the top of the building is a four-sided clock.

The clock showed three minutes past three.

"Anyway, let's head towards the building first."

Liangfeng looked back one last time, but this time he paused.

He saw the moon in the sky behind him.

The moon is red, but there is a black smiling face on it, as if... looking at everything in the courtyard.

Liangfeng smiled, put on the blanket, and took steps.

Although he started from the edge of the courtyard, he could feel that the courtyard might be very big. This was probably the reason why he took so long to explore. There was no time to waste.
