Chapter 658 Fatal Game 2 21
"Can you hear me? Let me try." Ling Jiushi heard no movement from the box, opened it, and found a password.
“We’re so lucky, I’ll join in too.” Cheng Qianli rubbed his hands together, ready to open the box.
Cheng Yixie grabbed his clothes: "I'll take over, you step back."
He leaned closer to the box, sniffed it carefully, and only opened it after finding nothing unusual. It was empty.
Seeing this, Cheng Qianli could only purse his lips and temporarily submit to his brother's tyranny.
While they were looking at the boxes, Hu Ji walked to the other side of the corridor.
She tapped on the box her subordinate was carrying, then beckoned over there: "Qianli, come here."
"What's wrong, Sister Mulan?" Cheng Qianli looked over in confusion.
"This box is safe, you open it."
Upon hearing this, the others also walked over there.
"Really? Then I'll drive." Cheng Qianli squeezed to the front, somewhat excited. He believed Mu Lan without hesitation.
However, he still glanced at his brother. Although Cheng Yixie was worried, he decided to trust Mu Lan.
"You drive."
Cheng Qianli's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately opened the box, inside which was a lighter.
"Wow, I got an item! Brother Ruan, what's it for?"
Ruan Lanzhu nodded: "The lighter should be used before opening the box to restrict the box demon's movements."
"It's for your life, Sister Mulan. You chose this box, here you go." Cheng Qianli handed the lighter to Hu Ji.
Hu Ji shook her head and didn't take it: "You keep it, I don't need it. What you drive is yours."
"But you've already given me a prop, so you can keep this one."
"I have other props; you can handle them yourself."
After Hu Ji finished speaking, she gestured for him to stop talking, as she resolutely refused to accept the gift.
Cheng Qianli looked at the others, wanting them to make a decision.
Just then, voices came from the end of the corridor, and Ruan Lanzhu saw someone coming.
"Let's go back to our room first, don't stand here talking."
Hu Ji turned and left, and the others followed behind, heading towards the room.
Once inside the room, Ruan Lanzhu suggested to Cheng Qianli, "Keep the lighter for now. We can use it if anything happens."
"Okay, then I'll keep it for now." Cheng Qianli put the lighter into his pocket.
Ruan Lanzhu sat down on the edge of the upper bunk and looked at Hu Ji on the opposite bunk: "When we were eating just now, your attitude towards Sun Yuanzhou seemed to be similar to Sister Xia's? Is there something wrong with Sun Yuanzhou?"
Xia Jie is a member of the X organization, so it's not surprising that they treat her any way they want, but they had never met Sun Yuanzhou before.
Ling Jiushi was also a little puzzled. He looked up and asked, "Yeah, Mu Lan, why are you doing this?"
Cheng Yixie listened quietly to everyone talking, while Cheng Qianli opened his bag and took out snacks to share with everyone.
Hu Ji took the snacks he handed her, opened them slowly, and then replied, "Hmm~ He seems pretty fake, don't you guys think so?"
"Fake? Sister Mulan, are you saying that Sun Yuanzhou is just putting on an act?" Cheng Qianli asked.
"Yeah, he said this is the tenth door, yet he acted like he didn't know the rules of the game, and he still dared to bring so many newcomers in. Isn't that contradictory? If he's not confident about something, bringing so many people in is just like Sister Xia bringing cannon fodder."
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent; none of them had even noticed the issue.
The woman stopped there, implying that they already had their own ideas.
As for Sun Yuanzhou, we can give him a little surprise tonight—or rather, a shock.

While everyone was asleep at night, the compass in the living room started to spin.
Upon hearing this, Ling Jiushi immediately sat up: "The compass has moved; the Box Demon is about to activate its skill."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Hu Ji sat up.
Cheng Qianxie wiped his face: "That Sister Xia's person opened the left side, so the box demon might be trying to control people to open the box, right?"
"It's possible, but not entirely certain. Maybe someone else will offer something else today," Ruan Lanzhu said.
After waiting for a while, a considerable commotion came from the corridor outside, and the group immediately opened the door and went out.
About ten minutes later, they returned and told Hu Ji what had just happened.
It turns out it was Sun Yuanzhou. He was controlled by the Box Demon's left-hand skill to open the box, and he is now dead.
Cheng Qianli clicked his tongue twice: "We just discovered his problem and he died. We thought he was at least a villain with some screen time."
When they passed by, Ruan Lanzhu paid attention to everyone's expressions and noticed some problems.
“Sun Yuanzhou is dead. Sister Xia seems a bit off. She and Sun Yuanzhou are probably acquaintances, and they might both be members of the X organization.”
Ling Jiushi nodded: "They are pretending not to know us on purpose. It seems they originally planned to scheme against us."
Cheng Qianli curled his lip: "That's really insidious. Luckily, Sun Yuanzhou died quickly."
Hu Ji curled her lips; it would be more satisfying to deal with the enemy directly.
"You guys be careful these next few days. I think that woman holds a grudge."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lanzhu nodded, signaling everyone to be more vigilant.
Xia Jie's people kept opening the boxes, and soon the box demon's torso and left leg were opened.
Cheng Yixie still chose scissors, and Hu Ji chose another password. She also got the last password.
It originally belonged to Sun Yuanzhou, but after his death, it fell into the hands of a newcomer in his room.
After obtaining the four passwords, Hu Ji told them to go and get the keys.
During dinner today, Sister Xia didn't eat anything; she just kept glancing at them with a particularly gloomy look in her eyes.
Hu Ji knew she wanted to make a move, but she couldn't kill directly inside the door, so she kept looking for the box demon's ears.
She guessed that Sister Xia probably wanted the Box Demon to think that the comb was in their hands, so that the Box Demon would kill them.
This woman can't be kept around. Sister Xia hasn't eaten anything all day, and she definitely won't be able to hold on until tomorrow when the box is opened.
After finishing the meal, the Box Demon activated its body's skill again, killing everyone in the room.
Xia Jie was very cautious; she didn't share a room with anyone, and she rarely even stayed in her room.
That evening, everyone was opening boxes in the living room, and Hu Ji randomly opened two empty ones.
Ruan Lanzhu suddenly walked over: "I accidentally opened the comb. Will it affect you?"
"It's okay, just don't use it on my teddy bear."
"Your teddy bear?"
Hu Ji patted the box, indicating that the little bear was inside.
Ruan Lanzhu understood; the box demon was actually her little bear: "We can get out once we find the door. What are your plans?"
“That woman, she won’t let this go until she’s dead. Look over there.” Hu Ji suddenly pointed in Xia Jie’s direction.
Sister Xia opened a box, and a head of long hair immediately emerged from it.
Her eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she quickly pulled Xiaoji next to her, shoved her into the box, and took a few steps back herself.
"Qianli!" Hu Ji suddenly exclaimed.
Cheng Qianli nodded upon hearing this. He had somehow gotten to Sister Xia's side and casually opened a box.
