"This room only has four bare walls it is~" Feng Bujue entered the room.

The room was shabby with wooden frames and wooden pillars. Cracks appeared here and there around the room, while some spots of cement filler made the room look like it had been repaired recently. There was only one window around one meter wide in the room, and it wasnt a glass one. A rough, simple crossbar was installed above the window to hang the curtains. If the wind blowed into the room from outside, the rain would surely enter the room through the outer wooden grille.

The room was divided into two spaces, separated by a door frame that didnt have a door. The first room where he was now could be considered the living room, which was around 10 square meters. The floor was also made from wood; a cupboard at chest-length stood against a wall. Stood amidst the room was a small, round and short table, with three pieces of tatami (1) placed next to it.

The ceiling was quite low; a wire was installed in the middle of the ceiling to power up a light bulb, which was illuminating now.

Feng Bujue went to explore the next room. This room was even smaller than the living room as a set of mattresses placed on the ground had occupied half of the space. There was a closet near the door, and this room didnt have a light bulb. In other words, the one who stayed here had to come to the living room, switch off the light and then grope in the dark to get back to this room and lay down on the mattress to sleep.

Apparently, there was nothing else in the room, and Feng Bujue neednt be afraid of touching or tripping over anything while walking in the dark.

"Too arrogant~" Feng Bujue closed the main door and talked to himself, "Only provide power, no water shared toilets." When he was still outside the room, he had noticed a small booth that looked like a public telephone booth in the yard of this house. It should be a simple toilet though.

"Current Quest, accomplished. Main Quest, updated."

He hadnt been sitting long enough to warm his ass up and the systems notification prompted. Feng Bujue opened his menu to see a check mark placed next to the Quest [Go home]. At the same time, the newly updated quest said [Wait in the room until dawn.]

"What?" Feng Bujue felt irritated. "I have to wait the whole night long?"

At this moment, the rain outside had become heavier with more furious thunders reverberating. Although he had pulled the curtain, gusts of strong wind still crept into the room through the wooden grille. Some shadows were slightly moving outside. Looking at them through the curtain, he didnt know whether they were the shadows of trees and branches dancing in the wind or something was wandering outside Although his room had power supply, the only thing that used power in this room was the lightbulb. Not to mention a TV, it didnt even have a radio. Even if Feng Bujue weren't being tortured by his fear, his boredom would persecute him"Ive thought that Nightmare difficulty level would require extremely hard fighting competence" Feng Bujue came to the cupboard in the living room. "Turns out it has such settings" He pulled the drawer and saw a vacuum flask, two cups, and one teapot. All were presented on a round wooden tray.

Since everything here was still in black-and-white, Feng Bujue couldn't distinguish the colors of these items. He tried to lift up the items and discovered that the thermos bottle was still full. So, he took them out and put them on the low table.

Then, he continued to search the cupboard and found a small round box of tea, which was labeled with the word Tea. There was no other information like name, brand or production date.

"Hm Although they said that this place had encountered a big disaster and people have to find temporary shelter, but can they survive with these things" Feng Bujue said, "No water to drink. If I want to pee, I need to go out. If I want to bath, I have to go to the public bathing house. It doesnt even have bowls and chopsticks By the way, even if I can have meals in this house, I have no way to wash the dishes." He used the hot water in the thermos bottle to rinse the cups and the teapot, then opened the box of tea and put some tea into the pot, making himself an unknown drink. Afterwards, he poured himself a cup of it.

Since players couldn't change their costumes in the Clothing Tab when they were in the scenarios, or could take them off, Feng Bujue could only try to squeeze water out of his costumes and continue to wear the wet clothes, waiting until they could dry themselves up.

At this moment, he had made a pot of tea. Holding the cup in his hands, whatever it was, it could ease the coldness on his body a little bit.

"Limited information and clues. Moreover, there are so many Death FLAGs that could make an instant kill. This way, they could conveniently intensify the degree of terror in the game This has set the tone for a scenario at the Nightmare Difficulty level." Feng Bujue thought, "Some inadvertent choice could bring many disasters pouring on my head." He seemed to understand something while recalling what had just happened. "If I said something wrong or showed that I was in fear, Im afraid Kuchisake-Onna would kill me instantly. The same thing would occur for the monster sitting on the pole"

He lifted his head and looked at the window. The rain was still pounding hard outside. "Looks like I dont have any time or space restrictions. But if I want to ignore the main quest and search outside, I would possibly trigger some Death FLAG out there. Generally, in this scenarios worldview, one should have powerful Spiritual Fighting ability to have a certain degree of freedom If not, nothing could be ensured"

He took a sip of hot tea then continued to mutter, "Behave and work on the main clues at most, I would get constantly scared, but in terms of fighting, I wouldn't fall into an impasse." He put the cup down. "However, its too boring. Do they really want me to sleep in the scenario? And, there isnt a single piece of newspaper in this room"

"Ah"

Suddenly, a bizarre sound arose.

"Wuu hmm "

Right after that, two other long sounds echoed, pretty similar to an old hags voice.

The noise came through the wall, which was also his neighbors room.

"What do you want to play" Feng Bujue turned his face to that direction and said, "Doing a Shaman dance when its raining heavily out there?"

Feng Bujue thought this situation should be a part of the main clue, so he needed to make some reaction.

"Hello you over there, are you alright?" Feng Bujue yelled at the wall.

Then that noise muted.

"What the hung up?" Feng Bujue was sitting cross-legged on the ground; having heard nothing from the other side, he then started to move on all fours. He tried his best to eliminate the noise while silently moving towards the wall. Then, he stuck his ear to the wall and eavesdropped.

Squeak

There came the squeak from the door being pushed open then the walking steps. Seemed the one living next door had come out of the room.

"Is it going to knock on my door?" Feng Bujue moved to his door, but all that he could hear was the grumbling noise of the heavy rain and gusts of wind outside. He had been waiting there for a while, but the other party didnt knock on his door. Actually, he didnt even hear anyone approaching his door.

As Feng Bujue wasnt feeling threatened at all, he decided to open the door and see if something had happened to his neighbor. He got up, one hand slowly pulled the doorknob, while the other was holding tight on the wrench. He slowly pushed open the door and peeked from the small slit behind his door
