Su Shan moved a step to the side, approaching the edge of the glass room, and reached out to tap her own wall.

Although she didn’t make any sound, Zhang Chenze still noticed her movements and turned to look at her before “drawing lots.”

Su Shan paused, pointed at her own glass house, then pointed at Zhang Chenze’s glass house, extended four fingers and said twice with her mouth: “Four seasons.”

In an environment where communication was impossible, this was already all the means of expression she could think of.

Fortunately, she knew that Zhang Chenze, as a lawyer, had very rigorous thinking and should understand what she was trying to express.

Zhang Chenze lightly scratched her hair and pondered Su Shan’s lip movements.

“Four…?” She muttered to herself with furrowed brows. “Four what?”

Zhang Chenze currently felt somewhat apprehensive. As a “newcomer,” she also didn’t know what the “Dog’s” game represented. From her perspective, Su Shan might possibly be deceiving her.

“But what does four… mean?” Zhang Chenze looked at her own green glass room, then muttered several possibilities related to “four,” and quickly arrived at the answer. “Four seasons…?”

She looked again at the colors of the remaining people’s rooms. Although she felt this idea was very bold, it actually made a certain amount of sense.

Each person played a season, and everything everyone did could only correspond to the season they played.

Zhang Chenze thought for a while, then lowered her head to look at the two lots in her hand. One was “Torrential Rain Pours Like Buckets,” and one was “Blazing Sun Caresses the Earth.” These indeed seemed to be things that could only happen in “summer.”

“So I’m ‘summer’…” Although she had figured out the rules, Zhang Chenze still felt very confused.

Since she was “summer,” it meant she wouldn’t encounter the “Nian Beast” at all, nor would she cause any harm to the “Nian Beast.” So what should she do next?

Just wait for other people to make moves? Or…

Should she summon “torrential rain” and “blazing sun”?

Before she could figure it out, a new “lot” emerged from the table.

“Neutral Lot.”

This was a “lot” without any arrows. The characters on it didn’t have any suggestive language either, simply writing the two characters “Neutral Lot.”

Zhang Chenze knew this “lot” had no effect, just like “Try Again” when drawing prizes—equally mediocre, because she had already played a “Neutral Lot” in the previous round.

“If every ‘lot’ that the ‘Four Seasons’ and ‘Nian Beast’ wish for takes effect, then it can only mean that all the ‘lots’ have their own uses… so they absolutely cannot be played rashly.”

Zhang Chenze prepared to implement her consistent approach—when information was insufficient, don’t make any judgments.

After all, she had witnessed the scenes in Lin Qin’s and Qin Dingdong’s rooms. Upon careful deduction, Lin Qin’s strong wind came from Qin Dingdong, Qin Dingdong’s “sandstorm” came from Earth-Dog, and the “lot” that resolved Earth-Dog’s “sandstorm” could now only come from Su Shan.

In other words, every “lot” had its own use and could only take effect in other people’s rooms.

At this moment, if she played “torrential rain” or “blazing sun,” there was a high possibility that she would be powerless to stop other disasters occurring in the later stages.

So she decisively took out the “Neutral Lot” and inserted it into the hole on the table surface.

Then she imitated Su Shan’s method and transmitted the concept of “four seasons” to Lin Qin in autumn.

Lin Qin quickly understood what Zhang Chenze meant, but she was equally helpless.

She looked at the “lots” in her hand—all three were “Neutral Lots.”

“What exactly does this game mean…”

Since Lin Qin’s previous “lot” was also a “Neutral Lot,” it didn’t cause any impact on any room.

Although consuming “Neutral Lots” was a good thing, from her perspective, she had completely lost the ability to understand this game.

Having drawn “Neutral Lots” for four consecutive rounds made her have to believe that everyone could only draw “Neutral Lots.”

If this was really the case, how exactly could they win this game, and how could they cause harm to the “Nian Beast”?

Could there be differences between “Neutral Lots” and “Neutral Lots”?

“What exactly are you all playing…?” Lin Qin looked at the three “lots” in her hand, her facial expression becoming increasingly bewildered. “If everyone can only get this kind of ‘lot,’ what difference does it make whether we’re the ‘Four Seasons’ or not…?”

Su Shan keenly observed Lin Qin’s expression. She hadn’t expected that even though it was already the second round, Lin Qin’s complexion was still confused. Could it be that she still hadn’t understood the meaning of “four seasons”?

After staying silent for quite a while, Lin Qin could only take out a “Neutral Lot” and insert it into the hole. It still had no effect.

Just as it was about to be “Qin Dingdong’s” phase, Earth-Dog’s broadcast rang out.

“Everyone be careful. This round’s ‘calamity’ is called ‘Earthquake.'”

Earth-Dog aimed the “calamity lot” at “Lin Qin.”

“Earthquake…?”

Su Shan was slightly stunned. What she was curious about wasn’t the two characters “earthquake,” but rather how to simulate an “earthquake” in this small glass room.

Everyone’s eyes focused on Lin Qin. Logically speaking, the death probability of an “earthquake” was far higher than a “sandstorm.” Worried expressions appeared on several people’s faces.

After all, Lin Qin was “autumn.”

If “autumn” died, various plans within the year would all be affected.

Under everyone’s tense gazes, Lin Qin discovered that the iron mesh beneath her feet was actually slowly rising like an elevator. This iron mesh bypassed the table in the room and sent her toward the ceiling.

Lin Qin only felt her palms sweating. She looked up—she was getting closer and closer to the ceiling. If the iron mesh beneath her feet didn’t stop, she might very well be crushed into a meat patty.

Among all the various ways of dying she had experienced, this was probably the most painful one.

To protect herself, Lin Qin hurriedly crouched down, praying that the iron mesh beneath her feet would stop rising.

Just as the top of Lin Qin’s head touched the ceiling, the rising iron mesh beneath her feet finally stopped. Before Lin Qin could breathe a sigh of relief, the iron mesh fell at a speed invisible to the naked eye, directly returning to its original position.

Since Lin Qin had been crouching on the iron mesh earlier, the instant her feet lost support, she fundamentally couldn’t stabilize her form and fell hard onto the iron mesh from a height of two or three meters, directly scraping her knees bloody.

“Ugh!”

She groaned, only feeling that both her legs had somewhat lost sensation and she fundamentally couldn’t stand up.

“So this is… an earthquake?”

Lin Qin rapidly contemplated countermeasures. She knew she couldn’t let her guard down now. Based on the situation just now, the “calamity” wouldn’t stop until it was resolved.

At this moment, the only person who could save her… should be Qin Dingdong.

Lin Qin had just raised her eyes to look at Qin Dingdong. Before their eyes could meet, the iron mesh beneath her feet rose again. She could only desperately reach out to grab the iron mesh, seeking to not separate from it when the iron mesh dropped.

But she still underestimated the speed at which the iron mesh descended.

When the iron mesh rose to the highest point and suddenly dropped again, because the speed was too fast, Lin Qin’s hands gripping the iron mesh instantly came loose, simultaneously breaking the fingernail on her index finger. One second later, she fell hard onto the iron plate again.

This time, no one knew where she had landed. She was just wailing in pain on the ground, unable to stand up for quite a while.
