Chapter 665: Chapter 438 Game Starts (Third Update)_2

The game called "When the Night Falls, Please Close Your Eyes" is typically divided into two camps, the good people and the assassins. The good people aim to win by voting out the assassins, while the assassins hide among the good people, killing and voting out the good members to win. This is a fairly popular game as of late.

In the metropolis, there are many people under immense pressure with nowhere to convey it. Gradually, many people started to enjoy this game that could help them alleviate stress.

Although it is a game, there were still numerous fatalities. Many individuals turned this dangerous game into a crime, and so, this game gradually fell out of sight.

Today’s game is specifically tailored by Mi Zheng for Mu Lin. From the moment he met Mu Lin, he was contemplating how to offer her a suitable "welcome gift."

In the vast banquet hall, there are ten assassins. All the others are prey, and Mu Lin is the only added element... a police officer. The outcome of this game, good or bad, is entirely up to her.

In other words, she gets to decide the fate of these young ladies and gentlemen.

Fascinating, isn’t it?

During the start of the game, every five minutes, all the lights in the hall are extinguished. At that time, all of the assassins start their operation, and Mu Lin has to find all of the killers before everyone else dies, and then the game is won. Otherwise, it means Mu Lin has lost.

Meanwhile, Mu Lin absolutely cannot let anyone discover she is the police officer; that is to say, when the lights are on, she must not act, even if she realizes who the killer is.

Looking at the man in front of her, his calm demeanor while narrating specific rules of such a game, his blood-thirsty grin, Mu Lin’s eyes turned cold.

Mu Lin realized that perhaps her previous perceptions were too naive. What does it mean to be indifferent to human life? The man before her perhaps considers human lives to be lower than dust, easily snuffed out at any moment.

This may be the main reason he can occupy the position he has today.

"Game... begins!" With a snap of his fingers, in an instant, the banquet hall plunged into darkness. Those present started to panic, swearing, cursing, all of them rushing towards the main gate in their memory. Regrettably, the main gate was already closed and until Mi Zheng gives a nod of approval, no one can leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s game time now." Amid the chaos, a cold voice sounded from the broadcast. "I am the host of today’s game, Bai An. I am pleased to host this interesting game for you, and I believe everyone will have a lot of fun tonight."

Hearing this voice, everyone let out a sigh of relief, thinking that this might be a surprise the organizers had prepared for them.

Unfortunately, there was no surprise. Instead, there were loads of frights.

"Now let me explain the rules of the game to you," the chilling and unemotional voice continued to ring in people’s ears. "In the upcoming game, all of you will become prey. Among you, there is a total of ten assassins and one police officer."

"If the police officer fails to find the assassins, then all of you will have to leave your lives here tonight." The voice continued, intertwined with a low laughter. "Rest assured, we will take good care of you." The scene that followed was going to be very interesting.

Everyone was confused.

"What did he mean by that?"

"This game sounds familiar."

"Isn’t this that game, ’When the Night Falls, Please Close Your Eyes’?" Yet, it seemed somewhat different. Why would they play such a game? Such an event had never happened before.

There was a sense of turbulence and panic.

Upon hearing these words, people were puzzled, but many still believed that this would be an interesting game, until the first body appeared.

One minute had passed, the lights suddenly turned as bright as day. At that very moment, everyone instinctively closed their eyes to adjust, and then slowly opened them.

"Ah..." The next second, a scream of horror echoed throughout the hall. Everyone instinctively looked in that direction, only to find a body lying there, blood flowing from their neck continuously until the victim was no longer breathing.

"The first prey has died; congratulations to those who are still alive." The voice from the loudspeaker returned, wrapped in a light sense of delight. "But I still have to remind everyone, the next one could be you."

"Next, if the lights go out again, by the time they’re turned back on, there will be two people lying here. But don’t worry, we will increase the rate gradually. We definitely won’t be in a hurry." Ideally, that would be more fun.

"Don’t rush, it will soon be your turn." The voice went silent after this.

At that moment, everyone was in a frenzy. Originally, they thought this was just a simple game. But now, there was an actual death, and a brutal one at that. They felt like fowl and livestock laid out on a cutting board, waiting for a sharp knife to slit their throats anytime.

At that moment, human nature emerged.

In Mi Zheng’s eyes, this was the filthiest existence. He wanted Mu Lin to appreciate it well.
