Sorry it’s late! Wifi got cut out for a bit due to a snowstorm DX It’s all good now 🙂

“Just call me Sago, she’s Pearl.” The short girl, SagoMilkTea hugged PearlMilkTea by the arm and said, “We might not look like it, but we’re twins. We just reached level 6 yesterday. Please take care of us! “

“Nice to meet you.” RoseBlood said with a smile, “We can work together and use relationship cards on each other. Help each other out.”

“Oh right——” Sago looked back at the two boys who were beginning to merge into the background. After a glance at host, her face unconsciously turned red. “What about you guys? Come and introduce yourselves too. “

Shan Ziwei subconsciously looked at host and found that the black-haired young man had returned to his initial antisocial attitude.  He acted like he didn’t hear Sago at all. As a hypersexual who respected the fairer sex, Shan Ziwei doesn’t have the heart to ignore the girls words like host, yet he had qualms about bringing out his personal information as well——not because he was afraid of being being looked down on, rather, he was afraid that it might impact the progression of the game. No one in the game would sympathize with a weak person — they would only treat him as a burden or cannon fodder. 1hIBUC

That’s why Shan Ziwei could only smile awkwardly at the girls and say, “My name is gShanzi.”

To end it here felt very insincere and lacking, so Shan Ziwei pointed back and tried to divert the attention of the girls. “That one is host.”

The girls’ eyes focused on host as Shan Ziwei had hoped, but their reactions varied unexpectedly. Sago wasn’t angry that host had ignored her earlier, rather, she stared at host excitedly while whispering with Pearl. The four member team from the Mysterious Garden just took a look before shifting their eyes away somewhat awkwardly. In truth, Shan Ziwei already noticed earlier that the girls in the Mysterious Garden disregarded him and host a little bit. The difference between their attitude towards the girls and their attitude towards them was like the distance between heaven and earth. Shan Ziwei rubbed his nose. They seemed to have…some rejection towards the opposite sex?

After all, it’s a girls-only tea party. It’s not difficult to believe that their leader must have some kind of conflict with the opposite sex, resulting in the formation of a female exclusive ‘mysterious garden’. The mainstream attitude within the tea party must be a bit negative towards the opposite sex.

“Alright, we’ve been here for quite a long time.” RoseBlood raised her voice and regained the attention of the people around her. “It’s time to begin the chessboard.”

“Everyone search your pockets.” Hyacinth shook the paper in her hand. “I found something.”

Shan Ziwei reached into his pockets. Everyone was wearing uniforms with similar styles. The guys were wearing a simple shirt and trousers, while the girls wore shirts with a skirt. Everyone’s uniform had a ghoul emblem printed in front of the chest. 

Shan Ziwei’s pair of hands encountered different sensations. On the left side was a folded sheet of A4 paper, while on the right side was a hard and rigid piece of cardstock. Shan Ziwei pulled out the cardstock first, it was a relationship scenario card. It was as RoseBlood had said, this chessboard was based on relationship scenarios.  v1pIUW

Shan Ziwei quickly pulled out the other piece of paper and opened it. It appeared to be an event leaflet. The cover was vibrant and colorful, stirring up the emotions of the viewers. 

[☆★☆The Battle of the Haunted House☆★☆

Are you still mulling on with your boring ordinary life? Are you lacking excitement and stimulation in your life? Kx8d2Z

Yeah ~ Stop worrying, don’t hesitate, we’ve prepared a wonderful feast for you!

(Insert: black and white photo of a house)

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Some say that a woman’s sobs often echo from an empty room. 

Others say that a mysterious shadow often passes by a window of the empty house. A2o67O

That summer 23 years ago, a mailman accidentally opened the door of the house and ran into a family of three who had died miserably.

Correct, this is the infamous holy land of the haunted – Manda’s Mansion!

(Banner: Manda’s Mansion! The famous far and wide haunted house! It’s worth a look!)

There are also some who say that the entire thing was nonsense and exaggeration. EMWyYg

Is it true? Is it fake? Is it a supernatural occurrence? Or is it a mystery?

Now, it’s time for our supernatural researchers to enter the stage. 

Activity Instructions:

1. Gather at 5:13 pm on Friday, May 13, 2016 in front of Manda’s Mansion;
2. Explore the haunted house and examine the supernatural events;
3. Play supernatural minigames: Ghost in the mirror, hide and seek, touch the wall, fairy pen (you can choose).

Dear supernatural researchers, what are you waiting for? Quickly let the screams and fear fly! Let’s begin! J4Z9fC

Our slogan is – "If you don’t seek out trouble, trouble will seek you out and end you"

Signature: Supernatural Research Society (Ghoul logo) ]

Shan Ziwei: “……”

The leaflet was very playful, yet it could only increase the tension in the hearts of all the players. 04cPCY

This research society, as its slogan says, was seriously going to find a way to put an end to themselves——not only were they going to visit the haunted house, they even wanted to play supernatural games in it.

The saddest thing was that all the players present were members of this “get yourselves killed” club. The logo printed on their clothes was exactly the same as the logo on the campaign leaflet.

Then, the system came to add salt to the wound. 

[Scenario 2: You are an active member of the paranormal research club, firmly believing that “if you don’t seek out trouble, trouble will seek you out and end you” (0 / 8). （10:00:00）] JNEYOm

At that moment, Shan Ziwei finally experienced the terrifying power of an eight player chessboard with 7 high-leveled members (including an inscribed player).

What the fuck was ‘if you don’t seek out trouble, trouble will seek you out and end you’?!? Shan Ziwei could guarantee that as long as they really went to seek trouble, the game will make sure that they die! However, if you don’t seek trouble eight times, the game will happily end them with the pretext of violating the scenario after 10 hours anyway——Now now, let’s not talk about ‘if you don’t seek out trouble, trouble will seek you out and end you’, if you don’t go seek trouble, then just go die (heart) ~

——This was hell difficulty level!!

Even RoseBlood couldn’t hide her amazement. She frowned and read the leaflet over a few more times. d6hAke

“Wow, this is so annoying. I have no idea how to deal with this kind of thing.” Sago and Pearl huddled together and looked in awe at the house on the other side. “Are we going to enter this haunted house now?”

Shan Ziwei turned around. The house on their left was the exact one shown in the leaflet. It wasn’t known if it was due to the influence of the dreary weather or the age of the house, but the entire house was spooky and grey. Dead vines crawled up the decaying walls, giving people a bad feeling.

“Uhh, let’s go in. ” RoseBlood looked up at the sky. “Let’s finish the activity quickly, before it gets too dark.”

PaperIris ripped aside the yellow ‘no entry’ caution tape and the group walked single-filed through the small front yard of Manda’s Mansion with Shan Ziwei and host at the end. At the moment when Shan Ziwei stepped on the black and withered grass, his heart suddenly thumped. It was like someone had hit his heart with an ice hammer. A chilling feeling spread all over his body, even the fine capillaries at the end were frozen stiff. rgqZh5

He didn’t even know how he raised his head and looked up at the second floor of the old house.

There was a row of windows on the second floor covered by dirty curtains. Through the insect chewed holes, one could see an endless darkness inside.

Shan Ziwei’s eyes fell on one of the holes. There, a thin and pale chin appeared. Perhaps it was because of the contrasting shadows, but the chin was incredibly white and stiff, like porcelain fresh out of the kiln. As light shone on it, it seemed to be illuminated by an odd blue light. 

Shan Ziwei seemed to hear his nerves screaming: That——WHAT IS THAT——!? 0RGJoY

He——or “it”——seemed to notice Shan Ziwei looking at it. With a crack in his nearly colorless lips, it gave a bloody scarlet smile like one painted on the face of a corpse.
