The man who arrived was wearing a black T-shirt, which was stretched tight over his sturdy frame. He had a square face that looked imposing even without anger, and his eyes, in particular, seemed as if they could see right through a person's heart.
Song Hu!
Chu He never dreamed that Song Hu would actually become a Player.
He saw the Game Wristwatch worn on the other man's left hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He could not figure out where the other man had obtained this Game Wristwatch.
Chu He saw Song Hu, and naturally, Song Hu saw him too.
A smile appeared on Song Hu's face as he walked over to Chu He and patted him on the shoulder.
"We meet again!"
"Judging by your expression, you don't seem very happy about my arrival!" Song Hu laughed.
"Sigh, Captain Song, you don't understand what kind of incident you've gotten yourself involved in." Chu He sighed.
"Does Li Dawei's death have anything to do with this Mist Game?"
"Your game qualification was transferred to you by him, right?" Song Hu asked in a low voice near Chu He's ear.
Chu He looked at him with some surprise.
"I have, after all, worked in Criminal Investigation for so many years."
"As long as one knows the Player Rules, even a child could deduce the cause and effect," Song Hu said calmly.
Chu He curled his lip.
"Chu He, how much do you know about this Mist Game?" Song Hu asked.
"I'm not sure. Since you guessed that my game qualification was transferred to me by Li Dawei, then you should also know that I've only been a Player of the Mist Game for a few days."
"Also, don't call me by my real name. Call me Lin Xianfeng. Do you see that middle-aged man wearing glasses over there and that woman wearing a tight skirt?"
"Both of them are Players who have participated in the Mist Game once before."
"But I think there's something wrong with them. In any case, don't tell them your real name," Chu He said.
Song Hu glanced at Li Yi and Liu Ya and gave a slight nod.
"What should I call you?" Li Yi looked at Song Hu and asked with a smile.
"Just call me Tiger," Song Hu laughed.
"Tiger?" Upon hearing this name, Li Yi naturally knew that Song Hu was giving a fake name.
He couldn't be bothered to ask any further.
The Players had all arrived, and there was less than Ten Minutes until the Game Time began.
Everyone was at peace and stood in their own spots.
"Captain Song, I'm curious, where did you get this Game Wristwatch?" Chu He asked.
"Take a guess?" Song Hu asked back with a smile.
He felt that he could finally uncover the cause of death for those who had died suddenly all over the country, which put him in a very good mood, making him uncharacteristically playful.
"I don't have the heart for that." Chu He took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"The name of this game is Horror Hide-and-Seek, and the Game Completion Condition is to survive for one hour."
"And the location of the game is this Abandoned Warehouse right in front of us."
"But the warehouse isn't big, let alone for thirty adults like us to hide inside."
"Even if thirty children were hiding inside, they could be easily Found."
"Don't you think there's something wrong with this game?" Song Hu looked at the Abandoned Warehouse in front of him and did some mental calculations; the area of the warehouse was at most three hundred square meters.
Playing hide-and-seek in such a small area meant that it was only a matter of time before they, as the hiders, were discovered.
"Captain Song, you're mistaken there."
"The game is called Horror Hide-and-Seek, that's true, but the Game Completion Condition is not to get caught."
"It's just like when you police officers catch thieves; does discovering the other party mean you've caught them?"
"The other party will resist, and might even attack the police to escape."
"This game is the same. Facing the Enemy that is hunting us, we can use means to resist."
"If we can kill the Enemy that is hunting us, then we might be able to clear the game easily," Chu He said calmly.
"Will the Enemy hunting us also be a Player?" Song Hu asked curiously.
"I don't know."
"But it's nine times out of ten that they won't be."
"If the Enemy hunting us were also a Player, then the Game Type wouldn't be group survival, but group confrontation."
"Captain Song, I have to remind you of one thing."
"The Mist Game is not as simple as you imagine."
"You seem very happy; do you think you've found the cause of Li Dawei's death?"
"If you hold onto that kind of thinking, you might not even survive this game."
"The Enemy we have to face is beyond your imagination," Chu He said sternly.
Chu He had always respected the police.
That was why he was willing to say a few extra words to Song Hu.
"Hearing you say that, the game you played last time at the Tongxi Road Gas Station seems to have been very dangerous?" Song Hu looked at Chu He and asked.
"I almost died." Chu He shrugged.
He wasn't lying; if he had been attacked twice in a row by the Corpse King in the last game, he definitely would have been finished.
Song Hu said no more.
As the game start time drew closer, the thirty Players arrived one after another.
Every time someone arrived, Li Yi and Liu Ya would ask if they were a newcomer or an experienced Player.
However, everyone's answer was that they were newcomers.
Perhaps some were hiding their status as experienced Players, but that had nothing to do with him.
It is better to rely on oneself than on others; Chu He was quite confident in his own strength.
He had even cleared the F+ grade Fear of the Walking Dead, so why would he be afraid of a mere F grade Horror Hide-and-Seek?
Boom, the iron door of the Abandoned Warehouse suddenly opened.
Seeing this, Chu He walked straight toward the Abandoned Warehouse.
Song Hu followed behind him.
This Abandoned Warehouse was piled high with miscellaneous items.
Discarded cement bags, shovels, buckets, and some wooden crates almost filled the warehouse.
On the ground, there was rubble everywhere.
In this kind of environment, there was simply no place to hide.
"Lin Xianfeng, I think we should discuss a strategy."
"The environment inside this Abandoned Warehouse is very difficult to hide in."
"If we don't work together, it will be hard to get through this game."
Li Yi looked at Chu He and spoke up.
"No need."
"The game is hide-and-seek, so naturally, everyone hides on their own."
"Rather than teaming up, it's better to fend for ourselves," Chu He immediately refused.
As he spoke, he also glanced at the other Players.
Many people chose to follow Li Yi and Liu Ya.
Facing this unknown Mist Game, it was human nature for them to hope that someone could lead them.
But unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong people.
Li Yi and Liu Ya did not look like the kind of Players who would take care of newcomers.
His words were also a veiled reminder to them, telling them not to be used by Li Yi and Liu Ya.
A girl wearing a JK skirt and colored contact lenses heard Chu He's words; she glanced at Li Yi and Liu Ya and stepped back slightly.
Upon hearing this, a cold look appeared in Li Yi's eyes.
He understood the implication of Chu He's words.
Being undermined right in front of his face made him very unhappy, but he did not lash out.
Soon, the game time approached.
Prompts popped up on everyone's Wristwatch.
【The game will start in thirty seconds, please prepare yourselves】
When the prompt appeared, Chu He felt a mysterious Strength restraining his body.
He discovered that everything inside the warehouse was rapidly growing larger.
"What's Going On?" Chu He felt a bit panicked.
A moment later, Chu He looked around.
A small piece of rubble on the ground looked like a giant boulder in front of him.
"No, it's not that the things in the warehouse have grown larger, it's that we have become smaller!" Chu He realized.
At this moment, red light appeared on the walls of the Abandoned Warehouse.
A thick black mist began to form near the walls.
The pursuing Enemy was about to appear!
"Run, hide!" Chu He shouted loudly.
Song Hu and the other newcomers, who were still in shock, heard Chu He's words and scattered in all directions.
"That Bastard!" Liu Ya stared at Chu He, cursing in her heart.
In her eyes, those newcomers were all excellent Meat Shields.
Because of Chu He's warning, everyone was now fleeing in all directions.
"Let's hide first and observe the situation before acting!" Li Yi said in a low voice to Liu Ya.
Liu Ya gave Chu He a vicious look, and she and Li Yi began to hide.
