I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

A single White Shadow had already left them in such a sorry state. Now, seeing countless White Shadows surging towards them, the three had never felt so desperate.

"Run."

"No way to run." The blond man shook his head. Their room was at the end of the corridor, unless they jumped out of the window to escape the asylum.

But this instance was closed off, with game prohibitions set up beyond its boundaries, making it impossible for players to jump out.

"My journey in this instance ends here." Lan Yan leaned weakly against the wall, staring at the white eyes.

"Looks like I'll have to use a life-saving scarecrow." Qin Nuo said with a grim face, feeling hopeless as he went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, melodious music flowed out. Meng was curled up inside, listening to the music box's tune.

"What happened?" Meng looked at Qin Nuo's face, sensing something was wrong.

"Come out first, I need to tell you something."

Lan Yan also chimed in, "What's happening to them?"

Qin Nuo turned to look and saw that the Black Nun, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped. Then, as if touching some taboo, they all retreated.

In an instant, all the Black Nuns disappeared into the darkness.

The intense Ghost Aura quickly dissipated in the corridor, and the bone-chilling cold gradually warmed up.

"They left again?" Lan Yan was full of questions, but more than that, he was overjoyed. This was truly a narrow escape from death.

"They're afraid of something." The blond man said, his gaze falling on Meng.

The only change in those few seconds was Qin Nuo bringing Meng out of the room.

Lan Yan looked at the music box in Meng's hand, his eyes shining brightly. "It's this music box, it actually scared those nuns away. Could it be a disaster-level ghost creature?"

"No."

As soon as Lan Yan finished speaking, the blond man and Qin Nuo denied it in unison.

The blond man looked at Meng, whose pretty face was shy, "They're afraid of her!"

Qin Nuo also realized that when they noticed Meng, they were filled with intense fear and retreated into the darkness.

What was it about Meng that made them so afraid?

The blond man watched Qin Nuo's expression and suddenly asked, "This girl isn't your patient, is she? Where did you find her?"

Qin Nuo touched his nose and said, "I met her in the asylum. She looked pitiful, so I let her follow me."

Lan Yan's mouth twitched, "You've got a big heart."

"This just shows she has many secrets."

The blond man looked at Meng with sharp eyes.

Meng shrank back, hiding fearfully behind Qin Nuo.

"She's lost her memory. Even if you ask, you won't get anything." Qin Nuo said.

The blond man squinted his eyes, "You don't seem like an idiot, yet you believe the words of an unknown ghost?"

Qin Nuo glanced at Meng but said nothing.

Of course, he had his doubts about Meng, not just lying, but even suspecting she might be the mastermind.

However, clues are clues because they don't directly identify the mastermind; they only indicate that the target holds secrets of the mastermind.

That's why he kept Meng around, to gradually uncover her secrets over time.

But the blond man and Lan Yan wouldn't see it that way; it was too bizarre.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat delicate.

The blond man's gaze on Meng grew increasingly unfriendly.

Qin Nuo remained silent, pulling Meng behind him.

Seeing the situation turning sour, Lan Yan wanted to mediate, but the blond man suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Maybe I'm just being overly suspicious. Let's not dwell on this." 𝑅

He checked the time and said, "It's almost dawn. Let's call it a night."

"Though the game is entering its later stages and time is pressing, we did gain something tonight by identifying the White Shadow."

"Clearly, the Black Nun is just a pawn of the mastermind. After dawn, they'll revert to White Nuns, managing patients and caregivers."

"We'll definitely gain something by investigating the nuns."

Lan Yan asked, "So, we act during the day?"

"If possible, that would be best."

"But triggering the instance task from the patients remains the main goal."

The blond man adjusted his glasses and looked at Qin Nuo, "Phantom Master, do you have any questions?"

Qin Nuo shrugged, "I agree with you."

"Then there's no problem. Let's rest, and we'll deal with everything after dawn." The blond man said.

The other two nodded, having no objections.

"I'm going to the bathroom first." The blond man headed to the restroom.

"I'll go too. I was so scared earlier, I almost wet my pants." Lan Yan followed.

"One bathroom for two grown men?"

Qin Nuo shook his head, squatted down, and asked Meng, "Do you want to keep following me?"

Meng thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't like daytime. I always find a place to sleep during the day."

Then she asked, "Will you come to the balcony to find me tomorrow night? I dance there every night."

"Sure, I'll come find you tomorrow night."

Seeing Qin Nuo nod, Meng smiled sweetly, then hugged the music box, and with bare feet, skipped through the wall and left.

Over there, the blond man and Lan Yan returned, seeing Qin Nuo alone, they asked, "Where's the girl?"

"She left, she'll appear tomorrow night." Qin Nuo said calmly.

"That girl has many secrets and only trusts you. If possible, I hope you can get useful clues from her."

"As I said, we're all in this together, helping each other is the only way out!" The blond man said earnestly.

"Of course." Qin Nuo smiled slightly.

Over there, Lan Yan picked up the blond man's arm and asked, "With one hand left, will it affect your work tomorrow?"

The blond man said nonchalantly, "I'm left-handed."

Then, without saying more, the three returned to their rooms.

In the room, Qin Nuo took off his clothes and wiped his body.

Then he lay down on the bed, his sore muscles finally finding comfort.

"Your two teammates are suspicious of you." The Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly spoke.

Qin Nuo remained calm, "I noticed."

"Because of Meng, their trust in me has decreased."

Although the blond man and Lan Yan tried hard to disguise it, some unnatural micro-expressions and evasive glances were still caught by the keen Qin Nuo.

"Teammates lacking trust are often more dangerous than enemies. Be careful." The Blood-Eyed Ghost advised.

"You speak as if you have experience. Were you ever betrayed by teammates?" Qin Nuo asked with a smile.

"Shut up."

The Blood-Eyed Ghost replied with a single word and fell silent.

Qin Nuo placed his hands behind his head and sighed, feeling a slight headache.

This is why he preferred to act alone and disliked cooperation.

Once a cooperative relationship breaks down due to some issue, you not only have to guard against enemies but also divide your attention to guard against teammates.

If you relax even a little, it's often not the enemy who pushes you into the abyss...

So, cooperation is exhausting and stressful!
