I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Chapter 51: Only three left, final duel!

"Player 'Phantom' has been hunted by the killer!"

Late at night, the players were still awake when they heard the game's announcement.

With a clatter, the water cup in her hand fell to the ground, and Princess Yao Yao's delicate face was filled with shock.

"Sister Rose, did you hear that? Phantom hasn't exited the game yet!"

"This is the second time he's been hunted, doesn't that mean he's..."

"Truly dead."

Black Rose shook her head slightly, murmuring, "What a madman, risking his life for a main quest."

Princess Yao Yao blinked, feeling a bit downcast, "Sigh, I had some feelings for him, what a pity..."

The next day marked the eighth day of the game.

Inside the apartment, without the movement of players, it felt incredibly desolate.

The empty corridors were dim and eerie.

At noon, the game's announcement sounded again.

"Player 'Jiang Xiaobai' has been hunted by the killer!"

Less than two minutes after Jiang Xiaobai was hunted, the game announcement sounded again.

"Player Jiang Xiaobai has exited the game early, instance completion failed!"

"Jiang Xiaobai has also exited the game."

Princess Yao Yao tapped her finger and said, "So that leaves just you and me, Sister Rose."

"The killer's next target is us."

Black Rose's face was icy as she pondered for a moment, then took out a skull hairpin and placed it in her hair.

At the same time, she took out a large-headed ghost doll and hung it on the doorknob.

These two were Black Rose's most powerful ghost creatures.

A fight to the death!

She didn't want her eight days of effort to go to waste; no matter what, she had to endure the last two days to complete this instance!

"For the last two days, don't sleep. Stay on high alert, and if you drag us down, I'll throw you out of the room!" Black Rose said coldly to Princess Yao Yao.

Princess Yao Yao nodded vigorously.

Meanwhile.

Qin Nuo, in his room, also heard the announcement of Jiang Xiaobai exiting the game.

"Now, including me, there are only three players left in the game, the other two being Black Rose and Princess Yao Yao," Qin Nuo murmured.

"Two days left, what do you plan to do?" Blood-Eyed Ghost asked.

Qin Nuo shook his head, "No, I want to end this game tonight."

"It won't be able to sit still, so tonight is the final showdown!"

With that, Qin Nuo opened the game panel and entered the name of the third target.

Seeing the name, Blood-Eyed Ghost was stunned, a bit puzzled, "Did you enter the wrong name?"

"No mistake."

Qin Nuo smiled slightly and closed the game panel.

Time flew by, and soon the day faded, and night fell, darkness enveloping the blood-stained apartment.

In the corridor, Qin Nuo closed the door to room 404.

Next door, room 405 suddenly opened, and Fat Homebody Ghost didn't come out but instead poked his head out, his lower half bare, clearly busy with something inside.

Seeing Qin Nuo about to leave, he asked in confusion, "Brother, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"It's stuffy inside, I'm going out for a walk," Qin Nuo replied.

"Oh, I heard from Liu Ze that there was a lot of noise in your room last night, did something happen?"

"Tell me, I'll definitely help you sort it out!"

Qin Nuo thought to himself, wasn't it you who barged in last night, causing all that commotion?

"You don't know what happened last night?"

"No, I was already asleep."

"Then it's nothing, Liu might have heard wrong, you go back to your work."

Fat Homebody Ghost nodded, then shamelessly asked, "Hey brother, that girlfriend you gave me... I mean, the pillow, it's really nice. Can I ask if there's a link for it?"

"No link, it's a collector's edition. Why, did you break it?" Qin Nuo asked.

Fat Homebody Ghost quickly waved his hand, "No, no, how could I? It's a treasure from a good brother, I've kept it safe."

Seeing Fat Homebody Ghost's guilty look, Qin Nuo couldn't be bothered to expose him, chatted a bit, and then went downstairs.

As he descended, Blood-Eyed Ghost couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't that fat nerd remember anything?"

"The killer not only has the ability to control tenants but also to erase memories."

"This should be a privilege granted by the game, but it seems it can only be used once a day," Qin Nuo explained.

The first-floor lobby was even more desolate at night.

Only the old landlord lay at the front desk, holding a worn-out radio, listening to Peking opera.

Outside the apartment door, shadows flickered, as if ghosts and monsters were lurking, coveting the inside of the apartment.

But perhaps because the old landlord lay there, they were wary, always staying ten meters away from the apartment, not daring to approach.

Qin Nuo walked over.

The old landlord didn't open his eyes and said, "I told you, it's best to stay in your room at night, it's not safe out here."

"I only collect rent, I'm not responsible for any accidents."

Qin Nuo smiled, "I know, but I got the urge to play chess, and after thinking it over, only you can give me a satisfying game."

Hearing about chess, the old landlord opened his eyes, interested.

"Young man, your chess addiction is worse than mine?"

Qin Nuo scratched his head and smiled, "Actually, I lost a game during the day and felt unwilling, so I wanted to have another match."

The old landlord laughed heartily, "Seeing your competitive spirit, let's play then."

"But just one game, I'm old, can't stay up like you young folks."

"Alright."

The old landlord was proactive, immediately taking out a chessboard and setting it up.

Soon, they began to play.

After a few moves, the old landlord glanced at Qin Nuo's expression, somewhat displeased, "Your mind isn't on the game."

Qin Nuo advanced a pawn and said, "To be honest, I'm not getting along with a neighbor, so I'm quite troubled."

"And then?" the old landlord asked, his face unchanged.

"That neighbor isn't very friendly, threatened to teach me a lesson tonight," Qin Nuo observed the old landlord's expression as he spoke.

The old landlord snorted coldly, putting down a piece, "This is why you came to me, right?"

"If tenants don't get along, I won't help either side. If you cause trouble, I'll throw you both out of the apartment!" the old landlord said coldly, giving Qin Nuo no face.

Qin Nuo nodded, "Understood, let's continue the game."

The game continued for a few more minutes, and suddenly, the temperature in the lobby plummeted.

The corridor filled with black mist, the eerie atmosphere thickening.

The old landlord's hand, holding a chess piece, suddenly stopped.

Qin Nuo also sensed it, Blood-Eyed Ghost was unusually tense, "It's here, that guy is here!"

The old landlord snorted coldly, shouting into the nearby darkness, "Dare to cause trouble under my nose? Get lost!"

The ghost aura showed no sign of dissipating, continuing to spread in the lobby.

The old landlord's face grew increasingly fierce, veins bulging on his forehead, his clothes puffing up as a terrifying aura burst forth.

Qin Nuo spread his hands and said, "Old man, you see, it's not me causing trouble, it's the other side looking for trouble, not respecting you."

Blood-Eyed Ghost blinked, finally understanding the purpose of the chess game, "Goodness, no wonder he came to play chess in the middle of the night, he wanted to use this old man as a shield, how cunning!"

The old landlord's anger continued to rise, his pitch-black eyes shooting out terrifying beams.

This was the first tenant daring to oppose him!

He suddenly stood up, the chessboard instantly shattering, pieces flying everywhere.

At that moment, a shadow appeared at the stairway.

Ignoring the old landlord, it stared directly at Qin Nuo, filled with murderous intent!
