Chapter 0009 begins

The trial task requires self-inflicted harm, and the reason for the number of participants entering the trial being odd rather than even is likely to indicate that ultimately only one person can survive and leave this space

The corpse's hand hung down beside Song Qingxiao, swaying back and forth, especially since it was she who had killed the person with her own hands, which added significantly to her psychological burden

As the dim light was gradually blocked by the lid, whether due to her psychological state or other reasons, she felt the water enveloping her lower body was icy and piercing, foreshadowing that if she were to fail, this place might become her burial ground

Once everyone realizes this, this advantage will become Song Qingxiao's weakness

Song Qingxiao realized this point, shivering slightly. While it was indeed a good thing to be able to kill for self-preservation and unexpectedly obtain clues about the mission, as well as finding a way to leave this space away from home, the current situation was not favorable for her

He has a noticeable knife wound on his neck. If the corpse is left unattended and discovered by others later, Song Qingxiao's trump card will be exposed, significantly increasing her danger

If Song Qingxiao's speculation is true, what kind of situation will arise again after these cards are flipped over

This dagger is very likely to bring her vitality in the trials to come

She recalled the earlier scene of searching for a way out in this space with individuals No. 1 and No. 6. Was it possible that their initial approach to finding a way to exit this space was fundamentally flawed? The true clues for leaving here might very well be hidden within these cards

She tightly gripped the dagger, fortunate to have such a backup, and unexpectedly brought down the middle-aged man in their struggle.

What Song Qing did not expect was that this thing, which had almost taken her life, unexpectedly became her hope for survival, as if fate had played a huge joke on her

After all, she is in the same group as Number 1 and Number 6, and both of them have died at her hands, which naturally makes the others more wary of her

As she silently counted the seconds in her mind, she was also distracted by the few cards in her thoughts. After approximately fifteen minutes, she finally determined the location of the factory. Just before she could retrace her steps, the cards in her mind shifted once again.

Middle-aged men must be hidden away

In some areas with bloodstains, they can only be removed by scrubbing vigorously, while the areas that cannot be scrubbed away are covered with dirt

She was in the same group as the burly man number 7. As soon as the card was flipped over, it proved that number 7 had already made a move against her

After both members of the team died, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie and terrifying, but in the face of urgency, Song Qingxiao had no time to worry about these matters

She has summarized and compiled the information she currently knows, and Song Qing is beginning to grasp the outline of the task.

Upon careful consideration, when entering this space, the prompt she mentioned was "Are you entering the trial of the gods?" After entering the space, there are a total of nine individuals present. The cards are arranged in three rows and one column, and after two people have died, the two cards in the upper left corner have been flipped over.

After calming down, Song Qing carefully hid the dagger once again. The thick, sweet taste of blood seemed to linger in her mouth, and she retched twice, catching a glimpse of the middle-aged man in No. 6 with a grimace on his face after death.

Each large vat is approximately half the height of a person, each covered with a heavy lid.

She is doing relatively well, but the body of the middle-aged man is somewhat troublesome

It is better to wait for a hare by the stump than to hide here. There are more than ten large jars here, each covered with a heavy lid. She has checked the water in the jars, which should be sewage. Unless someone is extremely lucky, it will take some time to find her among these jars.

The factory is not far from here. Her personality is cautious, and she has roughly memorized the route and direction along the way. At this moment, it is not difficult to find her way back. She only needs to hide the body of Number 6, secure the scene, and conceal herself before others arrive, thereby increasing her chances of survival.

Only after completing all of this did she force herself to suppress the fear and nausea within her, reaching out to pull up the corpse of the middle-aged man numbered six

Her only advantage lies in the fact that she learned that the flipping of the cards was caused by the deaths of Number 1 and Number 6, but as time goes on, the other few should eventually come to realize it.

The nine individuals who entered the space received consistent hints. At this moment, aside from the deceased individuals numbered 1 and 6, the remaining six should have already noticed this anomaly.

But where should he be hidden? ... The area is surrounded by grass, and in the distance, there is an abandoned factory, but there is nothing extra to hide behind ...

He looks completely different from the photo on the card; upon comparison, it evokes an increasingly chilling sensation

The tank contained only a small half-tank of liquid that resembled dirty water, appearing extremely murky under the dim light. Song Qing exerted tremendous effort to push the body of the short, stout middle-aged man into it. With a splash, the sound of water splattering echoed as Song Qing closed the lid, preparing to begin the process of eliminating the traces he had left behind on his way here.

Originally, there were three cards in a row, with a total of three columns, and two cards located in the upper left corner have been flipped over.

The third card in the upper left corner has been turned over, and the woman in the red dress number 8 is smiling at the camera

In order for Song Qingxiao to survive, she must eliminate the other six individuals as well

The body of the young girl lay beside her, having fallen victim to the hands of a middle-aged man, with a mouse cord still wrapped around her neck, and her clothes had been torn apart

The moment the photo of the middle-aged man and the young girl appeared on the card, Song Qingxiao was momentarily breathless.

She returned to the scene, first feeling the girl's bag, from which she took out some change and a mobile phone. Money held little value in this place, so she tucked the phone into her own belongings and removed the mouse cord that was wrapped around the girl's neck, holding it in her palm. At this moment, having one more item was considered an advantage.

At this moment, when she thought of this matter, it was evident that the large vat was the best place to conceal a corpse

It is as if a signal has been given; once everyone begins to take action, more lives will be lost. After the closest teammates are successively killed, the survivors of the team will transform into hunters, venturing out to seek prey. Time is running out for Song Qingxiao.

Some scenes that cannot be concealed cannot be hidden, and can only be covered in other places to achieve the temporary purpose of confusing others

Without discussing whether she has the strength and stamina to kill everyone under the circumstances where everyone is on guard against her, among the other men, we can set aside Number 3, Zhou Jing. Number 4, the doctor, is experienced and cautious by nature. Due to his profession, he is accustomed to life and death. Once the game officially begins, in order to survive, he is likely to overcome psychological barriers more quickly than ordinary people, making him a formidable opponent.

She found the large vat containing the body of No. 6, chose one beside it, lifted the lid, crawled inside, and then replaced the lid.

Not only is there enough time for her to rest, but at the moment she uncovers the lid, she may also have the chance to launch a surprise attack

On the first card, a middle-aged man is wearing a black suit jacket and has a smile on his face. At the bottom of the card, the three characters "赵荣强" are written. If Song Qingxiao is not mistaken, this should be his name.

After a person dies, the body becomes particularly heavy, especially as the body temperature of middle-aged men gradually decreases. The excess flesh weighs heavily on Song Qingxiao's back, almost crushing her to the ground

These cards only appeared after the group entered the dense fog, and there was no movement during the process. After the deaths of numbers 1 and 6, the two cards turned over. Does this mean that the movement of these cards requires the death of their owner as a price?

She cannot escape; when she tries to flee, she is like a headless fly, with a high likelihood of encountering her pursuers. If she faces them head-on, under the condition of having expended a significant amount of physical energy, even with a dagger in hand, her chances of survival are not high.

The blood from the wound on the man's neck dripped down like a thread, flowing onto Song Qing's shoulder and arm, soaking into her clothes, both slippery and itchy

After hiding well, and ensuring that no part of her clothes or hair was exposed, Song Qingxiao began to pay attention to the hints in her mind

However, it is evident to the discerning that this should be the area where she has the most freedom of movement. Even so, Song Qingxiao has no other options left.

However, no matter how unfavorable the situation was for her, Song Qingxiao was unwilling to sit idly by and await her demise. Having narrowly escaped death, she was determined not to perish quietly in this game.

Only those who survive until the end of this task will have the conditions to leave; women are at a significantly greater risk compared to men

When several people passed by earlier, they did not rashly lift the lid of the jar because they were uncertain whether there was something dangerous hidden inside the jar

The journey thus far has not been easy. Upon reaching the factory, Song Qing felt as though all her strength had been nearly exhausted. She tossed the body of the middle-aged man aside and struggled to push open the lid of a large vat. At first, she held her breath, fearing that something might emerge from within the vat, but once the lid was opened, she quickly let out a sigh of relief.

Card number 1, the young girl; card number 6, the middle-aged man; card number 8, the woman in the red dress; card number 5, the young boy; and even card number 3, Zhou Jing's card, have all been turned over

This was not the time for her to feel discomfort; she bit down hard on the tip of her tongue, shook her head, and after confirming her location, she walked towards the position of the factory in her memory

A thought surged in Song Qing's mind, and she vaguely felt that she had found the right direction

At this thought, Song Qing propped herself up with her small hands and stood up. Her body was still a bit unsteady; during the act of killing, she had been too tense to notice. Now that she had calmed down, she felt a sense of panic in her heart, dizziness, and her vision was spinning before her eyes.

Song Qingxiao carefully recalled the scenes he had witnessed along the way, remembering the more than ten large vats in the factory.

While she was doing these things, the cards in her consciousness had already been turned over more than halfway

At the same time, Number 7 is a burly man, strong and robust, and is the tallest among everyone, making him quite formidable to deal with
