I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

The two people spoke in unison, leaving Qin Nuo a bit bewildered.

All of Qin Nuo's previous speculations were shattered.

The old landlord exhaled a puff of smoke, seeing Qin Nuo remain silent, he thought he was pondering over the chess game.

He flicked the ash off his cigarette, set the pipe aside, and said with a smile, "How about another game?"

"This time, I'm full of confidence!"

"Let's play next time, my stomach hurts a bit, I'll head back first."

With that, Qin Nuo turned and ran off.

The old landlord chuckled, picked up his pipe, feeling quite smug, "Scared before even starting, these young folks..."

Reaching the fourth-floor corridor, Qin Nuo hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door of room 403.

"What's the matter, child?" Little Yuan's Mom opened the door, her cold expression softened a bit upon seeing Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo asked her the same question he had asked the landlord.

Afterward, he knocked on the doors of rooms 405 and 406.

He received the same answers from the Fat Homebody Ghost and Liu Ze.

Returning to his room, Qin Nuo sat on the bed, crossed his hands, and fell into deep thought.

All the answers were identical!

Could it be like that saying on the internet, who would write their true thoughts in a diary, that's just foolish and lowly behavior?

While pondering, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Qin Nuo got up to open it, and it was Princess Yao Yao from the third floor.

Princess Yao Yao looked at Qin Nuo, grinning and revealing her cute canine teeth, holding a pile of snacks in her arms.

"Judging by your stance, you have something to ask of me and plan to bribe me with snacks?" Qin Nuo voiced his guess.

"No."

"I ran out of money, spent it all on food, and after calculating carefully, I realized I might not be able to pay rent for the next five days. So I wanted to ask if I could sell these snacks to you?" Princess Yao Yao asked.

Qin Nuo rolled his eyes, "I don't eat junk food."

"Come on, be kind, you've completed so many instance tasks, you must have a lot of Ghost Currency, it's not a losing deal." Princess Yao Yao pleaded.

Qin Nuo had accumulated quite a bit of Ghost Currency, but he wasn't like the Fat Homebody Ghost next door, not falling for the cute act.

If this girl could be his tool, he might consider it, but he didn't need it now.

Qin Nuo generally didn't do losing deals.

"My neighbor should be more than happy to help you." Qin Nuo pointed to room 405.

Princess Yao Yao knew he was referring to the Fat Homebody Ghost, shivered, and shrank her neck, "He'll eat me alive."

"No way, my buddy is the kindest to beauties, he'd go through fire and water for them." Qin Nuo laughed.

"I'll go ask Sister Rose instead." Princess Yao Yao pouted, ready to leave with her snacks.

But just as she turned around, a game announcement suddenly echoed in her mind.

Besides her, Qin Nuo also heard the voice in his mind.

"Attention all players, half of the game time has passed, the remaining time will switch to a new game mode."

"The game mode will change to a battle royale mode, the main quest NPCs will actively hunt players."

"Before being hunted, players can identify the killer, but if they guess wrong, they will die instantly! Guess correctly, and the instance will be completed, ending the game early."

"Note: Under the protection mechanism, players can choose to exit the instance after being hunted once, making this instance void."

"Being hunted a second time will result in real-world death!"

Battle royale mode?

NPCs hunting players?!

Qin Nuo and Princess Yao Yao were stunned.

Can the game be played like this?

"What do we do? It sounds terrifying." Princess Yao Yao said fearfully.

"For you, clinging to someone strong is your only hope of survival." Qin Nuo said to Princess Yao Yao.

"Can I cling to you?"

"Don't even think about it."

Ignoring Princess Yao Yao's gaze, Qin Nuo analyzed, "Actually, there's no need to panic, there are still five days left in the game. If I were the killer, I wouldn't kill all the players in one day, that would be too boring."

"And don't forget, we all have two lives. If the killer makes a move, we'll definitely know who it is, and after reviving, we can identify them, ending the game."

Princess Yao Yao suddenly realized, "Right, why didn't I think of that?"

Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "So, this so-called battle royale mode is actually more advantageous for us players!"

"Then whoever gets killed first would be the first to know who the killer is?" Princess Yao Yao blinked.

Does that mean they have to compete to be killed by the killer first?

"Maybe." Qin Nuo didn't say much.

The game instance isn't stupid.

How could they not know such a simple loophole?

He said it to make Princess Yao Yao be the nail that sticks out, to act as a tool.

Bang!!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from downstairs, Qin Nuo and Princess Yao Yao exchanged a glance and immediately rushed down.

The sound came from the second floor, and when Qin Nuo and Princess Yao Yao arrived, the other players had also gathered.

The corridor was filled with dust.

At the end of the corridor lay a body.

It was Black Bear's.

His head had rolled to the corner of the wall...

Everyone was stunned.

The battle royale mode had started, and within two minutes, a player was already hunted!

Everyone involuntarily held their breath.

Qin Nuo was the first to react, suddenly asking, "Which room was Black Bear in?"

Everyone was initially stunned, then quickly realized.

Right!

Black Bear was killed, so he must have revived in his room.

That guy must already know who the killer is!

"Room 206!" Cobra said, taking the lead and running to the end of the corridor.

The others quickly followed.

When they reached room 202, sure enough, Black Bear was sitting on the bed, looking dazed as if he had just rebooted.

Then, remembering something, he jumped up in anger, "Damn! I got taken out just like that?!"

Cobra walked over, grabbed Black Bear's shoulders, and asked, "Who is the killer?"

"You must have seen its appearance, right?"

"I saw! I saw its appearance, it was..."

Black Bear nodded, opened his mouth, and the name was about to come out, "It was... it was, right, who was it?"

Everyone was speechless.

Dude, are you seriously having amnesia at such a critical moment?

Black Bear held his head, trying hard to recall, but just couldn't remember who it was.

Moreover, the more he tried, the more his head hurt.

"Ah, I definitely know who it is, but why can't I remember?" Black Bear said, pained.

Everyone was more anxious than he was, continuously pressing him for answers.

Qin Nuo understood something and stepped forward to stop the questioning crowd.

"There's no need to ask."

"He can't possibly remember."

"You're not him, how can you be so sure?" Jackson frowned.

"Think about it, if you can think of this loophole, wouldn't the System?"

"The moment he was killed, part of his memory was likely erased by the System."

Qin Nuo's words left everyone silent.

Qin Nuo shook his head slightly.

"Indeed, this battle royale mode isn't going to let you clear it so easily..."
