When they came in, it was rushed—there was no way they could have prepared a change of clothes.

Although Pan Xiaoxin was just a child, he didn’t want to face the embarrassment of being completely naked either.

Zhu Shu suddenly thought of something and spoke up: “There are children’s clothes in the bedroom too.”

“Can you stop mentioning those clothes?” Su Man furrowed her brows tightly, her face full of displeasure. “Those clothes aren’t normal—we can’t just wear them!”

Zhu Shu explained, “That’s not what I meant. Think back—don’t the styles of those clothes upstairs happen to be just enough for all of us? It feels like… this house was specially prepared for us. It’s really strange.”

Su Man got goosebumps from her words. “No way…”

Zhu Shu gestured with her fingers as she spoke: “You and me, Brother Yan, Lü Ang, Li Li—five people total. There are also five people on their side. Together that’s ten people, and upstairs there are exactly ten sets of clothes. One set is child-sized, so I remember it very clearly. If the men’s and women’s styles also match our numbers, then there’s definitely a problem.”

This was beyond doubt.

This place had problems, this house had problems—everything here had problems!

Su Man bit her lip and stood up. “I’ll go upstairs with you to confirm again.”

The two women walked up the stairs one after another.

Bai Youwei watched for a while, then withdrew her gaze and leaned weakly against the sofa.

The water on the coffee table was no longer so hot. Shen Mo brought it over, helped her up, and fed her a couple of sips.

Her body temperature was scalding, her clothes were soaked, and her long hair was completely wet, messily draped around her body, dampening the sofa cover and cushions.

After drinking the hot water, her flushed face seemed even redder. Her eyes were deep and vacant. In that white dress, she looked increasingly like an injured, gorgeously bewitching water spirit—fragile, as if she might die at any moment.

Shen Mo frowned slightly, truly feeling a bit distressed.

Her appearance was dazed, as if she’d been made dizzy by her high fever.

Shen Mo looked at her, his voice unconsciously softening as he asked in a low voice, “Do you want to take a bath?”

Bai Youwei was dazed for a few seconds, then nodded lightly.

“I want to take a bath.”

Shen Mo said she had a fever, but she felt cold. She wanted to soak in a hot bath.

Teacher Cheng said to Shen Mo, “You take care of her. I’ll go upstairs and run the hot water first.”

Shen Mo nodded.

The two women upstairs came down quickly, both looking grim.

“Those clothes in the wardrobe really were prepared for us!” Su Man’s face was tense, her tone heavy. “Ten sets of clothes—exactly nine adults and one child. Among the adult clothes, six sets are men’s clothing and three sets are women’s clothing.”

It completely matched their situation.

Shen Mo said flatly, “Think of it positively—since the game prepared clothes for ten people, it means Tan Xiao and Li Li are fine.”

“Game?” Su Man frowned. “Are you sure this is a game?”

Shen Mo said, “You can check your weapons.”

—In doll games, fruit knives, scissors, and kitchen knives could be brought in, but military daggers, firearms, explosives… these obviously weaponized items couldn’t be brought in.

Su Man felt vexed and irritated.

She paced back and forth in the room, then finally walked to the window, looking at the torrential rain outside. She said hesitantly, “If this really is a game, it’s too abnormal. We’ve been here so long and haven’t even seen an overseer. Could this not be a game venue?”

Shen Mo slowly shook his head. “Besides this house, there’s only the mountain slope and trees here. I’m more inclined to believe the game hasn’t officially started yet.”

“Maybe…” Su Man bit her fingernail irritably, her eyes staring straight out the window. “Maybe it’s because everyone hasn’t arrived yet. When they come back… the game should start.”

Zhu Shu also looked out the window, uneasy in her heart.

Just escaped from the tiger’s mouth, only to enter the wolf’s den. The dangerous atmosphere pressed in step by step. Who knew what… awaited them this time.
