Chapter 22: A Game Without Rules!

  "Wow", the surroundings suddenly became very bright. The intense light pierced Lian Xi's eyes, and Lian Xi slowly opened her eyes. "Where is this?"

  As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a round European crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, with a bright exterior, shining brightly and sparkling. Next to the main lamp, there were rows of colorful water droplet-shaped small crystals that emitted dazzling light under the illumination of the lamp, making people's eyes dizzy.

  "Too gorgeous!" Lian Xi had never seen such a beautiful crystal chandelier before, and she was deeply attracted to it.

  "I say, Lian Xi young lady, you still have the heart to appreciate the lanterns here." Lian Xi suddenly came back to her senses, this familiar voice, is... could it be... Shi Ying.

  Lian Xi turned around, "Ying? How could it be you? How did you end up here?" "I thought you'd ask me where this place is first. Look," said Ying, pointing downwards with her hand. Lian Xi's face changed in an instant, and on the ground lay five people, including Qiao Jia... Seeing this scene, Lian Xi lost all interest in admiring the lights. Although she had already experienced three "games". But how could it be like this this time, and everyone was actually awake in the same place. Lian Xi's mind went blank.

  "Haha, look at you being scared. Compared to the scene of the previous two times, this place is much stronger. I've been around for a while, and the decoration here is really exquisite. According to my analysis, it should be a detached villa with multiple floors, and the house is quite big too. It would be great if we could live here." Yīng Biān said as he sat comfortably on the soft couch behind him.

  Lian Yu immediately squatted down to look for the game rules. "Don't bother looking, I've flipped through everything and there's nothing." "What did you say? How is that possible?" "Don't believe me? Then go find it yourself." Ying lay down lazily, propping up her neck with both hands and raising her legs.

  At this time, Qiao Jia rubbed her eyes and woke up. "Wow, it's so beautiful." Qiao Jia was also fascinated by the crystal lamp.

  "Now I get it. Either you two are good sisters." Ying looked at Qiao Jia helplessly. "Huh? Ying...you...how is it you?" Qiao Jia suddenly thought of Lian Xi's analysis that Ying was very likely a professional killer. Qiao Jia stood up and retreated several steps, looking at Ying in shock.

  "I say, Qiao Jia, why are you staring at me like that? I'm not a ghost. Instead of looking at me like this, shouldn't you be thinking about how to get through this 'game'?" "'Game'? Here?" "Do you think we're on vacation or something?" "But how could it be such a scene?" "It's not just the scene that's different, there aren't even any game rules this time." Ying sat up, pretending to be serious.

  "This, is it not the nightmare game we've experienced before?" Ling Xi said thoughtfully. "Apart from in the game, where else do you think we could have met? Of course, you can also think that you're just having a normal dream now, and I'm honored to be able to appear in Miss Ling Xi's dream." Ying Huo smiled wryly. What Ying Huo said was right, if it weren't for another game starting again, how would they have met? The scene is different, the game rules haven't been mentioned either, every time the scene will be the same, won't it? But why didn't even the game rules appear this time? Is she really just dreaming?

  No, it's impossible, Lian Yu's intuition told her a new game had begun.

  Three people waited quietly. The remaining four newcomers woke up one after another.

  "Here... where is this? How did I end up here?" a short-haired girl wearing glasses said softly, looking calm and quiet.

  Next to him, a chubby man who looked like a ball also woke up at this moment. "It's so bright, it's dazzling." He sat up and looked around at everything, looking at the other two new people lying on the ground who hadn't woken up yet, and then at the other four people (Lian Xi, Qiao Jia, Ying and the girl with glasses). "Can anyone tell me where this is?" No one responded to him. His voice was very loud, and as soon as he finished speaking, the other two people moved slightly and woke up.

  Needless to say, the two people were equally perplexed. "What's going on? I was clearly sleeping in my own home, how did I end up here? Was I kidnapped?!" said a short and unremarkable-looking man, who was drenched in sweat and staring at the others with a mixture of fear and confusion. The other person, a girl who had just woken up, heard his words but didn't react or say anything, simply sitting there blankly.

  Ling Xi no longer had the mind to care about Ying's identity, because of the problem encountered in the last game. At this moment, what worried Ling Xi most were two things: first, without game rules, how could they "pass" this time? Second, how to make these four newcomers believe their words and that this was not a simple kidnapping... Most importantly, how to control the situation.

  Ling Yu felt uneasy, something was off. "Don't panic first, I'm Mo Ling Yu, what do you call everyone?" Ling Yu didn't say much, she wanted to tell others that this wasn't a simple kidnapping case, but to avoid causing unnecessary casualties due to panic, she decided not to speak out for now. However, in such a magnificent scene, if Ling Yu and the others didn't speak out, no one would think of the horror here, it was a game played with 'ghosts', at any time, there might be various unimaginable ways - to die miserably.

  "My name is Xia Xingluo, are we really kidnapped?" said the girl with glasses, her soft voice revealing confusion. "Not a kidnapping." This delicate voice was --- the last awakened girl!

  At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on the girl who is speaking now. "My name is Qiao Yueruo, and this is a game with the God of Death!" Lian Xi stared at the fragile-looking girl in front of her with wide eyes. How did she know all this? How was it possible! Not only Lian Xi, but also Ying and Qiao Jia looked at this girl named Qiao Yueruo with great surprise.

  "Is it possible that no one else has participated in this game except me? Can't be that everyone else is a newcomer except for me, right?" Qiao Yu looked at everyone with suspicion. "Since you've played before, why didn't I see you in the previous games?" Qiao Jia asked doubtfully, "Although I'm not very familiar with the rules of the game, but I, Lian Xi and Ying have all gone through two rounds together. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the survivors continue to play the 'game' together. But you didn't appear in the previous games!"

  "Yes, I have never participated in a game with you guys before. For this game, I'm a newcomer. I am the survivor of the 7th round of Dream Hell, which means that after the start of the 7th round, I got 100 survival points and successfully escaped from the game." This sentence stunned everyone present.

  "What? You're saying you got 100 points and escaped successfully? But wasn't it supposed to be a permanent escape? How can you come back here again?! Lian Xi was on the verge of collapse, could it be that even after getting 100 survival points, there's still a chance of returning to this nightmare? She had always hoped to accumulate enough points to leave this nightmare behind, but if leaving meant the possibility of reliving the nightmare, then what was the point of all her hopes? And what is this 'seventh round' business? How many people has this game killed?"
