"Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Hua Tian's eyes lit up.
Just as expected!
As long as Lin Xun countered with a question, this dilemma could be resolved!
After a moment of thought, Lin Xun replied, "Do you think you're beautiful?"
The instant he finished his question, Winter Plum's face showed a visible shock.
She was the first person to ask her such a question.
But Winter Plum's surprise was short-lived.
Soon, she answered, "I think I'm very beautiful."
Hua Tian was ecstatic!
Very good, very good!
Once Lin Xun responded, she should become even more beautiful, and then this dilemma could be resolved!
However, to Hua Tian's dismay, Winter Plum added, "And I already think I'm beautiful enough."
Oh no!
The situation was developing completely differently from what Hua Tian had imagined!
If Winter Plum believed she was already beautiful enough, then she wouldn't go and mar her own face again!
How could Lin Xun respond to escape this predicament?
Hua Tian tightly clutched the Escape Red Rope in her hand.
She was not afraid!
She was not afraid!
With the Escape Red Rope in her grasp, as long as she could snap the red cord, she would be able to leave immediately.
Moreover, Lin Xun beside her remained remarkably calm, his face showing no trace of panic.
The composed Lin Xun gave her the strength not to flee.
But at that moment, before Lin Xun's eyes, a chaotic celebration of Danmaku unfolded.
"Hahaha, the player has finally died! Wonderful, wonderful!"
"Serves you right for being so arrogant; you thought you were clever, but turns out you're just a fool!"
"Don’t censor it! I’m an adult now!"
"When the female ghost scratches the player's face, make sure to add more force! He must feel pain, and even if he doesn't die from it, he should bleed to death!"
"FFFFFF donated 'Weak Water One Scoop' *1"
"Heavenly Beast donated 'Half Bloom of the Other Shore Flower' *1"
On this side, the audience cheered and celebrated, eagerly donating in welcome of Lin Xun's demise.
On the other side, Hua Tian was nearly in tears.
"Lin Xun, how can you remain so calm..."
Lin Xun ignored Hua Tian and turned to look at Winter Plum.
Winter Plum eagerly awaited Lin Xun's answer, her hands trembling with excitement, the nails on both hands glinting with a bloodthirsty shine...
"I think you're beautiful too," Lin Xun replied.
Hua Tian closed her eyes in despair.
If she had held onto a glimmer of hope moments ago, now her heart sank to the depths of the sea, devoid of any expectation.
Yet Winter Plum did nothing at all.
She simply stared at Lin Xun, motionless, like a statue carved from clay.
The moment Lin Xun spoke his answer, the blood pool beneath them surged and transformed back into a pink bedspread.
Winter Plum's blood-red garments turned back into flowing white robes.
Even her face was veiled.
Everything returned to calm.
Hua Tian slowly opened her eyes.
"What just happened?"
She found it hard to believe.
Why had Winter Plum not harmed Lin Xun?
Lin Xun flipped through Winter Plum's pipa and turned to see Hua Tian looking like a foolish deer, shaking his head in disbelief.
His gaze fell on Hua Tian's chest.
Not that big, so why is he so dim-witted...
"Lin Xun! No, Mr. Lin, what on earth is going on?"
Lin Xun replied impatiently, "Isn't it just answering her question?"
"But why weren't you marked with a scar?"
"You need to understand, this is a Game, not reality!" Lin Xun's tone was tinged with annoyance.
Hua Tian didn't get it. "So?"
"In the Game, every question has a precise answer. If a question has no answer, then it's a Game Bug! As you can see, that woman with the matte black hand never appeared."
Hua Tian wore a confused expression, as if he was beginning to understand.
Lin Xun sighed and explained, "Winter Plum provided the answer. The solution is right there in the riddle."
"Is it really that simple?"
"Simple?"
"In that kind of situation, could you really think calmly? Even if she did give the answer, you'd probably think it was false. Most people wouldn't be able to say anything at all under those circumstances."
"But you... you were so composed! Why? Who exactly are you?"
At this point, Lin Xun had finished searching the surroundings; aside from a chair, a pipa, and a piece of white gauze, there was almost nothing else in the room.
After finishing his inspection, he looked up at Hua Tian and spoke lightly, "I'm just a screenwriter who enjoys watching horror movies."
"Come on, player, what are you trying to show off?"
"Damn it, I can't believe I fell for his act!"
"What the hell, is there anyone managing this game? The NPCs are useless!"
"Fat Fragrant Chapter Master has gifted 'Half Bloom of the Other Shore Flower' *1."
Hua Tian's face was filled with disbelief.
At that moment, Lin Xun glanced at the time displayed on the screen.
There were only five minutes left until freedom time ended.
He quickly called Hua Tian and they stepped out of the room.
As soon as they exited Winter Plum's room, the scene behind them instantly transformed into an empty luxurious chamber.
Hua Tian looked at the stage on the first floor.
At that moment, Xie Tengfei and his group had already taken their seats in front of the stage.
"Should we head back to the first floor?" Hua Tian asked.
Lin Xun shook his head. "Let's wait a moment."
He opened the mall interface.
At this point, the Points Mall had become usable.
Lin Xun glanced at his Points.
A total of 240 points.
In the Points Mall, the cheapest item was a Danger Warning Device.
Moreover, it was the type that allowed for custom ringtones, but unfortunately, it was a one-time use only.
The item Lin Xun desired most was something called the Task Item Prompt Device, but that item cost a staggering 100,000 Points!
After some thought, Lin Xun spent 200 points to buy a Danger Warning Device.
He then looked at the Escape Red Rope priced at 5,000 Points and fell into deep contemplation.
“Lin Xun, no! Mr. Lin, shouldn’t we head back to our seats on the first floor?” Hua Tian reminded him.
Other players had gradually returned to their seats, and she began to feel anxious.
Lin Xun nodded and hung the pink Danger Alarm around Hua Tian's neck before heading towards the stairs.
Hua Tian looked down at the lowest-priced Danger Alarm in the entire mall and felt a surge of emotion.
Is Mr. Lin worried about me?
Lin Xun pondered in his heart.
According to horror movie tropes, people like Hua Tian were the most likely to encounter danger.
People prone to danger + Danger Alarm = Enhanced Danger Alarm.
Well, at least it’s worth 250.
With that thought, the two returned to the first floor.
The free time was over; it was time for the Game to begin!
A thick White Smoke rose around them.
As the White Smoke dissipated, the Ghost Madam suddenly appeared within the white mist.
She wore a sinister smile, her expression fierce as she strode directly toward the players.
However, after just a few steps, she abruptly vanished into the mist.
The crowd exchanged glances, curious about what had just happened.
Was the Ghost Madam about to unleash some powerful move?
Everyone stood on high alert, not daring to let their guard down for even a moment.
Then they saw the Ghost Madam slowly rising from the ground, mumbling, "Who! Who tripped me up!"
As the white mist cleared, they finally caught sight of the Ghost Madam holding her waist and Lin Xun crouching down, covering his hands.
