I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Chapter 82: Bathtub Woman, Strange Puzzle!

Opening his eyes, nothing terrifying happened.

The surroundings remained silent.

All he saw was the ceiling, not the imagined ghostly face.

Qin Nuo sat up, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

When he saw the effect of the oil lamp, he had this guess.

The sounds he heard before were fake, the warm breath by his ear, and the touch on his ankle were also fake.

But whether something would happen after opening his eyes was uncertain.

The oil lamp could immunize against all mental disturbances, which gave Qin Nuo the courage to take a gamble.

Being able to open his eyes at night was a huge breakthrough in the game for Qin Nuo.

The night in this instance was filled with unknown dangers and a sense of mystery, likely hiding a lot of clues related to the main quest.

His gaze fell around the room.

On the walls, the terrifying burn marks that appeared after the first nightfall reappeared.

"Those weren't illusions?"

Qin Nuo was slightly taken aback, got out of bed, and walked to the door.

The oil lamp could dispel darkness within a certain space and had a windproof glass cover.

With these two points, even when night fell, Qin Nuo felt he could move around the asylum.

He placed his hand on the doorknob and gently turned it open.

The Blood-Eyed Ghost was astonished, "You're this brave?"

Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "It's a game, after all, you have to bravely try and explore!"

With that, he pulled open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind rushed in like a flood.

Outside the corridor, it felt as if it had moved to Antarctica, bone-chilling cold!

Qin Nuo stepped one foot into the corridor, and after no movement, he stepped out with the other foot.

On both sides of the corridor, it was pitch black, as if both sides led to the abyss of hell.

"Hiss hiss..."

In the darkness, some eerie sounds came, something was moving in the night, quickly approaching Qin Nuo.

But soon, they stopped, the light from the oil lamp seemed like a forbidden boundary they couldn't cross.

The light gave Qin Nuo a certain field of vision and a great sense of security.

After confirming it was safe, Qin Nuo began to move along the corridor.

Ten minutes later, Qin Nuo stood at the stairway on the fourth floor, looking puzzled.

"The main quest clue said that at night, the asylum would echo with singing, but I walked around and couldn't hear any sound."

Despite saying this.

After walking around, Qin Nuo still made a significant discovery.

The hospital after nightfall became dilapidated!

Walls, corridors, doors, all showed signs of damage, and many places had burn marks.

The air was filled with the smell of burning.

"This hospital was once engulfed by a fire."

Qin Nuo thought to himself, he initially thought these were illusions, but the oil lamp's ability to immunize against mental disturbances meant what he saw was real.

After nightfall, it seemed some special ghost power presented the hospital's past appearance once again.

"If my guess is correct, then everyone in this asylum likely died in that fire."

"Could the mastermind be the arsonist of that fire?"

If that's the case, everything becomes clear.

As Qin Nuo thought, he walked towards the end of the corridor.

Passing by a room door, he suddenly heard the sound of dripping water.

Qin Nuo raised the oil lamp, the door showed room number 503.

He gently pushed it, and with a creak, the door opened by itself, it wasn't locked.

Holding the oil lamp in front, Qin Nuo entered the room.

The light revealed it was a caregiver's room, things were messy, garbage was everywhere.

The sound source came from the bathroom, Qin Nuo pushed open the bathroom door, and as he stepped in, he stepped into a puddle of water.

The faucet wasn't tightened, the bathtub was full, and water overflowed everywhere.

The bathtub seemed to have someone soaking in it, judging by the hair on the water, it should be a woman.

A pale hand dangled to the side, with obvious slit marks on the wrist, the blood had already dried.

"Wrist-slitting suicide?" Qin Nuo frowned slightly.

"Players wouldn't be this bored."

"It could only be someone from the hospital, looks like a female caregiver, why was she so desperate, met a jerk?"

Seeing dead people in the Horror World was too normal, Qin Nuo wasn't surprised, shook his head, planning to leave, but his gaze suddenly fixed.

Under the bathtub, there seemed to be something glowing?

Qin Nuo was stunned, used his hand to part the hair on the water, couldn't see what it was.

"Young lady, no offense, I don't have any strange fetishes, just want to see what's under the bathtub."

Qin Nuo said, looking at the woman's upturned face.

Then, he reached under the water to feel around.

Accidentally touching something, the delicate touch made Qin Nuo's skin crawl.

Soon, he found the glowing object, just about to take it out, when ripples suddenly appeared on the water.

Then, the black hair suddenly wrapped around Qin Nuo's hand!

Qin Nuo jerked his head up, staring at the woman's pale face.

Under the black hair, the woman had somehow opened her eyes, filled with resentment, staring straight at Qin Nuo.

"I accidentally touched it, didn't mean anything." Qin Nuo explained.

The woman didn't speak, but her hair wrapped tighter.

Qin Nuo felt no pain, after all, his right hand was parasitized by the Blood-Eyed Ghost.

But at night, being entangled by a naked woman wasn't ideal!

Qin Nuo tried to forcefully pull away, but the more he struggled, the tighter it got.

He even saw the skin on his right hand being torn, blood oozing out.

Qin Nuo's face darkened, coldly said, "I was being polite, don't think I'm easy to bully!"

With that, a blood eye tore open on Qin Nuo's right hand, corpse spots appeared.

In the next second, the ghostly hair released as if electrocuted, allowing his right hand to be withdrawn from the water.

Under the black hair, the woman's eyes still stared at Qin Nuo, filled with overwhelming resentment.

Clearly, she wasn't hostile to Qin Nuo.

But harbored malice towards all men!

No need to ask, she was likely hurt by a jerk.

Qin Nuo wasn't buying it, pulled out the Grave Ghost Stone, coldly scolded, "Your death has nothing to do with me, glare one more time, and I'll make you vanish into thin air!"

Surprisingly, maybe scared by Qin Nuo, or sensing the terror of the Grave Ghost Stone, the woman retracted her resentful gaze, slowly closed her eyes.

Qin Nuo put away the Grave Ghost Stone, slowly backed out of the bathroom.

He retrieved the glowing object, a puzzle piece.

It was sparking, constantly burning, yet strangely, no matter how it burned, the puzzle remained intact!

And holding it, Qin Nuo felt no burning pain.

"What is this puzzle piece?"

Qin Nuo brought the puzzle closer to the oil lamp's light, though the size of an egg, he still couldn't tell what it depicted.

Just as Qin Nuo pondered the puzzle piece, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind...
