Just as the television displayed twelve o'clock, the phone in the bedroom rang.
The abrupt and piercing ring of the phone made everyone's heart skip a beat. Those who were too scared gave up on watching and prepared to go to sleep, or at the very least, planned to watch the replay later.
The number of people in the Weird Livestream Room plummeted by more than half, leaving only the poor members of the Weird Research Group, who had to keep watching the entire time.
Zhao Qi clenched his hands, his palms cold with sweat. He said, "Do not answer the phone, absolutely do not."
Meng Fei, on the other hand, acted as if he were deaf. He sat on the sofa, motionless, his eyes fixed only on the television.
Mao Mao twitched his ears, then lazily laid back down.
The phone ringing gradually disappeared.
Then, after six or seven minutes, it rang again. This time, the sound of the phone was like a thunderclap!
Meng Fei picked at his ear, not moving an inch.
After the phone ringing disappeared, there was no abnormality for a full half hour.
It is currently 1:23 AM in reality, while the Weird Live Broadcast shows the time as 12:57 AM.
Facts prove that there is a problem with the time; the time displayed in the real world has already exceeded the time displayed on the Weird Live Broadcast!
Meng Fei was watching television with intense focus.
As for the surviving players from other countries, most had received Meng Fei's most basic way to pass the level: close all the doors and wait in the living room for twelve o'clock tomorrow to arrive.
Indeed, without any risky maneuvers, they really did not encounter any danger.
As time passed, some players had already fallen asleep.
The phone rang at the same time for everyone, and there are currently players from more than sixty countries still surviving worldwide.
Some were sleeping soundly, like the players from the Diamond Country and the Ah San Country, whose snoring was louder than the phone ringing.
There were also those who firmly remembered the rules; upon hearing the phone ring, they acted like quails, remaining motionless and pretending they were deaf.
There were also the very brave ones who cursed at the bedroom three hundred times and then turned the volume of the living room television to the maximum.
Because they knew there was a thing under the bed in the bedroom, anyone with brains would generally not go near it.
The second round of phone ringing had already ended.
Meng Fei, however, looked toward the bedroom door and said, "It's not three times."
Then, everyone heard a soft, gentle piece of music, as well as a voice that was hard to distinguish as male or female, yet carried a bewitching power.
It was as if it were being transmitted directly into their brains.
"Answer the phone."
Even the audiences watching the Weird Live Broadcast were affected. More than ten percent of the viewers worldwide who were watching almost subconsciously picked up their phones.
Even among the twenty-four members of the Weird Research Group, one person picked up the phone!
Zhao Qi broke out in a cold sweat, "This is a mental attack!"
There are many bizarre ways of attacking in the Rules Anomaly World, and there are even ways to die instantly if one violates a certain rule!
Of course, mental attacks that can influence a person's behavior are not rare either.
This kind of mental attack has a more significant effect on those with lower SAN values!
Some players in other Weird Livestream Rooms scared themselves, dropping their SAN values to sixty or fifty, and they had already gone to answer the phone like lost souls!
The female player from the Beautiful Country, Katie, was one of them. Her SAN value was less than sixty, and in a daze, she picked up the phone. She heard her mother's voice.
Her mother's voice was very gentle. She said, "Dear Katie, why don't you look under the bed?"
Katie was in a trance. Her SAN value was at 50 at this time. Listening to her mother's words, she vaguely remembered that she was not allowed to look under the bed.
"Mom, I cannot do that."
Her mother laughed, her voice even gentler. She said, "Why can't you? Have you forgotten? I prepared a gift for you, hidden under the bed."
Katie's expression was one of struggle. She said, "But."
"There are no buts, my dear Katie. Go take a look; your favorite thing is there."
Katie's expression went completely blank. She nodded stiffly, "Okay, Mom."
Katie slowly squatted down, voluntarily crawled under the bed, and was then suddenly pulled inside!
【Player Katie has died. Residents of the Beautiful Country, please prepare yourselves. The Hotel check in Rules Anomaly will descend tomorrow at midnight.】
Because they had already used their only opportunity for a hint to tell Katie how to pass the level, no one expected that this would happen!
Clearly, not answering the phone only occupied such a small corner, yet it was the most difficult death to avoid!
When a player dies, the Rules Anomaly will descend.
Everyone watched in horror at everything happening in the Rules Anomaly. Some who could not bear it had already started wailing.
"No, it shouldn't be like this!"
"Clearly, clearly at the beginning, the Rules Anomaly wasn't this terrifying!"
Yes, indeed, the initial Rules Anomaly was like a prank show, like a prank.
It was also the easiest to pass, but as players died in the Rules Anomaly World, the Rules Anomaly became increasingly difficult.
It was almost as if it had absorbed the flesh and blood of those who died and developed and grew stronger!
And in China's Weird Livestream Room, Meng Fei moved.
Zhao Qi's palms were sweating, and the other researchers also became anxious.
"Should we use the hint opportunity! It can be interrupted!"
Zhao Qi swallowed hard. His eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at Meng Fei's actions on the screen. He said:
"Wait a moment, watch him to see if he will answer the phone."
Meng Fei walked to the blood red landline telephone. He looked at the phone for a long time.
The soft ringing continued, and the voice in his mind kept ringing, urging Meng Fei to answer the phone.
Meng Fei frowned and said, "So annoying."
Then Meng Fei picked up the blood red landline telephone, tore the phone cord, and took the landline into the bathroom, throwing it into the bathroom with a slap.
Meng Fei had a gloomy face, looking exactly like a pervert villain, and said, "You and it can die together."
The blood red landline telephone: "..."
Meng Fei said, "I know you have ill intentions. You must want to kill me, so don't blame me."
"Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him!"
This should have been a very domineering, very villainous line, but coming from Meng Fei, it carried a slightly comedic scent.
Meng Fei was completely unaware. He clapped his hands and squatted down to the small kitchen to find something to eat.
This time, he didn't even spare the rice. He took a small steamer to steam a small pot of rice and even stir-fried a plate of green vegetables for himself.
The rice was half-cooked, and the green vegetables were pitch black.
Meng Fei was very satisfied. He carried the food to the television and called out to Mao Mao.
"Good boy Mao Mao, come over to eat!"
The big dog leaned over, sniffed the scent, and silently jumped off the sofa, hiding in the corner of the living room, lying on the fluffy white blanket to watch television.
Even a dog wouldn't eat the food Meng Fei made!
