"Pass me the towel!"

 

In the dormitory, He Gu's thoughts were interrupted.

 

He turned his head and saw Little Yin's head peeking out from behind the bathroom door, her hair and face damp, with a hint of eerie charm in her eyes.

 

He Gu quickly averted his gaze and instinctively asked, "Where is the towel?"

 

Little Yin pointed towards the direction of the suitcase and said, "It's in the suitcase, the red one."

 

Upon hearing this, He Gu's mind exploded.

 

A red towel!

 

Rule number five: Under no circumstances should you hand Little Yin a red towel!

 

But now she had already asked, and He Gu couldn't refuse her!

 

In that instant, He Gu broke out in a cold sweat.

 

His mind quickly thought of a plan.

 

On the other hand, Little Yin, seeing that He Gu hadn't moved, her eyes filled with a stronger sense of eeriness, said impatiently, "What's wrong? Hurry up and go!"

 

"Oh, okay!"

 

He Gu reluctantly agreed, reluctantly moving his feet and squatting in front of the pink suitcase, searching through it.

 

In fact, after flipping through a few pieces of clothing, He Gu saw that glaring red color.

 

Immediately, He Gu stuffed the towel into the pile of clothes and quickly searched, hoping to find another colored towel.

 

Fortunately, He Gu was squatting in front of the suitcase, blocking Little Yin's line of sight with his body. As he searched, he replied, "Red towel? I didn't see it."

 

Little Yin behind him seemed a little impatient, "It's in the suitcase, hurry up and get it for me!"

 

He Gu felt a chill down his spine and reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll look again. There are a lot of clothes in your suitcase, don't worry…"

At the same time, on Blue Star.

 

Similar scenes were playing out in the live broadcasts of various countries.

 

In that instant, not only was He Gu nervous, but people around the world watching the live broadcast also became tense.

 

Except for the people of England and their contestant, Chris.

 

At this moment, Chris simply moved the suitcase to the bathroom door.

 

"Look, I've searched everywhere, there really isn't a red towel."

 

However, Little Yin didn't buy it and continued to urge, "It's inside, quickly find it for me!"

 

Chris became a little anxious as well, "Beautiful lady, you must respect the truth. There really isn't a red towel in your suitcase."

 

Little Yin's expression became somewhat strange, "You really can't find my towel?"

 

Chris nodded earnestly, "I assure you, there is no red towel in here."

 

Suddenly, Little Yin revealed a sinister smile, "Since you've refused my request, then you can help me wipe it."

 

As soon as she finished speaking, Little Yin forcefully pulled Chris into the bathroom.

 

BANG!

 

The bathroom door was slammed shut.

 

The next second, a large splash of blood splattered on the frosted glass…

 

At the same time, the live broadcast room in England went pitch black.

 

***

 

"Oh fuck! Not being able to find a red towel is also considered refusing her request!"

 

"This bitch! She's completely unreasonable!"

 

"It's over, Chris is dead… The eerie is about to descend upon our country!"

 

"Chris, you idiot! Your cleverness has harmed all of us!"

 

"Quickly notify everyone, the whole country is on high alert!"

 

***

 

England was filled with panic and chaos.

 

As for people in other countries, after seeing Chris's fate, they couldn't help but be relieved that they hadn't had time to inform their own contestants to hide the red towels.

 

Time passed, and each second felt exceptionally long.

 

At this moment, many contestants from various countries couldn't think of a solution, so they simply took their own towels from their dormitories and handed them to Little Yin.

 

Others wanted to gamble that the fifth rule was wrong, so they reluctantly handed over that deadly red towel.

 

The result was no exception. Almost everyone who made either of the two choices instantly died, except for the contestant from the USA, who survived with the S-level talent [Holy Light Protection].

 

***

 

On the other side.

 

He Gu was still trying to delay time, his forehead covered in dense beads of sweat.

 

Little Yin's voice came from behind again, "Still haven't found it?"

 

"Do you think my towel is dirty and don't want to help me get it?"

 

Little Yin's voice had become impatient, with a hint of eerie coldness.

 

He Gu realized that he couldn't delay any longer. He took a deep breath and shouted with a forced smile, "I found it!"

 

After speaking, He Gu reluctantly took the red towel from the suitcase and turned towards the bathroom.

 

***

 

On Blue Star, the audience from China saw this scene and became anxious.

 

"It's over! He's going to hand over the towel!"

 

"Ah, this is a dead end. Whether he hands over the towel or not, he will die!"

 

"This instance is too abnormal. It's a guaranteed death from the beginning!"

 

"The difficulty of instances has been increasing recently. The death rate of this instance is probably close to one hundred percent!"

 

***

 

The members of the "Paranormal Event Command Center" looked at the live broadcast screen, each one feeling dejected.

 

It was truly beyond saving at this point.

 

"Notify everyone, prepare for the eerie impact…"

 

Everyone felt that it was the end.

 

Then, the next moment, a dramatic scene appeared on the live broadcast screen.He Gu was seen heading towards the bathroom with a red towel in hand. After taking just two steps, he "slipped" and the red towel slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

 

Immediately after, the stumbling He Gu "accidentally" stepped on the towel on the ground.

 

He Gu hastily withdrew his foot that had stepped on the towel, but then "lost his balance" and his other foot "accidentally" stepped on it again.

 

By the time He Gu had picked up the towel in a fluster, two conspicuous shoe prints had already covered the bright red towel…

 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I've dirtied your towel!"

 

He Gu, in a flurry, dusted off the towel and asked cautiously, "Do you still want this towel…?"

 

"Or should I buy a new one to compensate you?"

 

Little Yin showed an expression of speechlessness on her face and frowned, "Just throw it away, I don't want it anymore."

 

With that, Little Yin closed the bathroom door heavily.

 

"Phew…"

 

Looking at the blurred silhouette reflected on the frosted glass of the bathroom door, He Gu didn't feel any sense of allure. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and quickly threw the red towel in his hand into the trash can.

 

"Thank goodness I was quick-witted…"

 

He Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart filled with lingering fear.

 

Meanwhile.

 

In the live streaming room of Blue Star, the barrage was boiling.

 

"Holy shit! That actually worked!?"

 

"He dirtied the red towel in front of Little Yin, making her voluntarily give up the towel. He didn't reject Little Yin, nor did he have to hand her the towel. This move is brilliant!"

 

"Hahaha… This guy is too clever!"

 

***

 

At the Paranormal Event Command Center, all the elite team members also breathed a sigh of relief.

 

"I didn't expect that this deadlock could be resolved in this way…"

 

"This guy reacted quite quickly, most people wouldn't have thought of this way to break the deadlock!"

 

"That's right, just in these few minutes, players from other countries almost died out. Only a few countries reacted quickly enough to tell their players about He Gu's way of breaking the deadlock, allowing them to barely survive."

 

"The danger level of this instance is not to be underestimated. So many people have died already and it's just the beginning…"

 

***

 

The instance had just started not long ago, and the live streaming rooms of most countries had already gone dark.

 

Except for the player from the USA who survived thanks to his S-level talent [Holy Light Protection], players from only five other countries survived.

 

And the few players who survived, their countries had informed them of He Gu's way of breaking the deadlock at the critical moment.

 

These people followed suit, some "accidentally" dropped the red towel on the ground and stepped on it like He Gu, some "accidentally" sneezed and took the opportunity to spit phlegm on the red towel, and some simply blew their nose on the red towel in front of Little Yin.

 

Regardless, although Little Yin was not pleased, at least they didn't break the rules and temporarily saved their lives.

***

 

Just as all the viewers in China breathed a sigh of relief, He Gu didn't feel relaxed at all.

 

At this moment, Little Yin had finished her bath, wrapped in a towel, she walked out of the bathroom…
