Chapter 519: 519
“Staying at the killer’s place?” Both Fan Chong and Fan Dade turned to look at Chen Ge in unison .
“The most dangerous place is also the safest place . ” Chen Ge clicked on the dead man’s body madly . When the cursor fell on the man’s shirt pocket, a chat box popped up—’You ransacked the dead man’s clothing and found a room card in the man’s blood-soaked pocket . ‘
“You really found something!” Fan Chong leaned forward to the screen, and his face was colored by curiosity .
Putting the card in the backpack, Chen Ge kept clicking until the sound of a human head banging against the door became louder in the background . With regret, he walked down the stairs . “There’s no weapon . An opportunity like this is not going to come again in the future . “
Chen Ge clicked on the backpack to look at the room card . The pure black card was dyed with blood, and there was a number four written on the back . “Fan Chong, how many hostels and hotels are there in this town?”
“There’s only one . The small hotel that I told you earlier where the owner is a killer and the chef is mental . All of the other tenants have been killed . “
“Is the hotel far from the residential area?”
“Not far, it’s just a street away, but are you sure you want to go there?” Fan Chong did not quite understand Chen Ge’s thoughts . “Haven’t we just killed all the murderers at the residential area? All we need to do now is stay put and wait until dawn breaks . “
He saw that Chen Ge was still hesitating . He reached out to touch Chen Ge’s shoulder . “Don’t tell me… you’re planning to use this little girl to deal with an entire hotel of crazed people?”
“How are we supposed to do that without even a fruit knife?” Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to walk down the stairs . The weird thing was that the banging sound in the background did not soften due to the distance but instead became louder .

“Then why are you leaving?”
“Focus on the background music . The tapping sound is made by the ghost; it has become more rapid . This means that after we lured the murderer into the neighbor’s home, the ghost inside it has gone rampage . ” Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to come to the ground floor . He looked at the dark street . “Why would you die when walking down the street at night? When you were playing, was there any warning before you die?”
“There was no warning . You just die like that, like that is an invisible killer roaming the streets . “
“Invisible killer?” Chen Ge shook his head . “The many scenarios of this game are inspired by things that happened in real life, so it shouldn’t be too fantastical . “
“Bro, the whole town is filled with ghosts and killers, isn’t that fantastical enough?”
“That is still acceptable . At the very least, it doesn’t go against the game designer’s setting . ” Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to walk back and forth between the landing of the first floor and second floor . Fan Chong really did not understand what Chen Ge was up to . After holding it in for quite some time, he finally asked, “Boss Chen, what are you doing this time?”
“Things are not looking great . ” Chen Ge looked at the screen and commented, “A game’s control normally decides how it will scare the player . Did you notice as the time of survival increases, the speed of Xiao Bu’s movement increases?”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Fan Chong looked at Xiao Bu running back and forth and realized that she did move a little bit faster .
“The creator won’t be so kind for no reason . This is a game where you can’t run away from despair . The increase in Xiao Bu’s speed means that we will run into something faster and scarier later . ” Chen Ge held his chin with one hand . “If I’m not mistaken, we’ll be running away from more than murderers after midnight . “

What Chen Ge said chilled Fan Chong’s heart . “Killers, ghosts, traps, and death mechanisms that will trigger randomly, the creator doesn’t want any player to clear the game . “
“Don’t just see this as a mere game, try to figure out why the creator created this game . Only by understanding what the creator is trying to express and by following his train of thought will we be able to find the answer . ” Chen Ge had been trying to do that . Fan Chong was playing the game, but he was trying to see things from the creator’s perspective .
Every game would express an emotion, be it rage, resentment, or sadness . However, to his surprise, even though the game was deeply despairing, there was no emotion; Xiao Bu was like an emotionless robot . She would not feel fear or pain, nor did she worry about her family . She was very detached .
This main character, Xiao Bu, is very interesting . After seeing her step-father’s body, she even thought of changing him into a doll; this isn’t a normal child, but what exactly happened to her that made her this way? Is what I’m experiencing a reflection of what Xiao Bu experienced before?
Chen Ge was deep in his thought when Fan Chong drew him back to reality . “Then what should we do now?”
“Our most important mission is to survive this night . The stairwell is temporarily safe, so we should stay here for now . After the ghost from the neighbor’s home comes out, we’ll go to the hotel . ” Chen Ge’s mind was sharp . “The only thing that worries me now is triggering the death mechanism when we cross the street . “
“Do you really think that way? How come I feel like you’re waiting for the ghost to come out and use your own body to lure it to the hotel?” Fan Chong asked softly .
“Well, you gotta do what you gotta do . ” Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to walk back and forth; he had mastered Xiao Bu’s speed and walking method . “This is an open world game, so we can’t stay here the whole night . After luring the ghost away, this area will be safe, and we can come back if necessary . “
Through the background music, the sound of banging increased . Chen Ge moved the cursor to a comfortable space . “She should be coming soon . “
As he finished, on the screen, a woman holding her own head appeared on the second floor’s corner, and her shirt was red with blood .
A Red Specter? Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to run out the stairs . He did not forget to adjust the angle to observe the female ghost holding her own head . Counting the woman in the red raincoat, this is the second Red Specter in this town .
In the game, the ghost moved fast . Chen Ge became serious and controlled Xiao Bu to run crazily . Chen Ge managed to escape the residential area in a few seconds . There was no light on the street . Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, and he managed to see the roads with the use of his Yin Yang Vision .
He controlled Xiao Bu to run toward the hotel . When she passed a window, the window suddenly opened, and an arm reached out, attempting to grab Xiao Bu . Thankfully, Chen Ge had Yin Yang Vision . When he saw the arm, he changed direction immediately and escaped narrowly .
“The danger is lurking in the dark!” Sweat slid down Chen Ge’s face . Fan Dade and Fan Chong saw the dark screen and could not understand why this man was crazily moving the mouse and typing madly on the keyboard .
