Chapter 329: Number 24

The room was buzzing with chatter, the sound of discussions never ceased.
Some people had seen Bai Youwei’s notice, and knew about this, while others were clueless, whispering inquiries to those around them.
“Professor Song’s sources are really exceptional.” Bai Youwei murmured to Shen Mo, “I just posted the notice yesterday, and he knew about it today.”
Shen Fei, sitting next to Shen Mo, overheard her comment and immediately responded with pride, “Every exchange in the exchange area, every piece of trading information, is sorted into documents by specialized personnel, and delivered to Professor Song’s research room before 9 pm.”
Bai Youwei looked at him, puzzled, and grabbed Shen Mo’s hand, frowning, “Why does your cousin love to interrupt when no one is talking to him?”
Shen Fei:
Shen Mo chuckled, “He just likes to be involved.”
Bai Youwei snorted, “Boys should avoid being too eager to help others, or they might end up appearing nosy.”
Shen Fei:
At that moment, there was another commotion at the other tables.
The bald strong man Shen Fei had introduced earlier began to speak up:
“Du Lai! You are the only one who has come out of the Hide and Seek game. Come on, tell us what that game is really like!”
“Yeah, indeed.” The skinny youth sitting next to the bald man echoed, “You at least have to let us know what’s going on inside to allow us to make decisions.”
They seemed to have developed an interest in the game; there was otherwise no reason for them to be so keen on the details.
Du Lai lifted his eyelids, clearly disinterested, “Ah… I’ve mentioned it almost a hundred times, aren’t you bored? Hide and Seek is just Hide and Seek, there is a huge ragdoll cat in the game that sleeps during the day and kills at night. The player’s task is to find a hiding spot! If found by the cat, you will die!”
“How can we clear the game?” The skinny guy asked him, “When the Inspector made the rules, he should have told you the conditions to clear the game, right?”
Du Lai chuckled, “The conditions to clear game are… either kill the cat or kill Mary.”
“Mary? Who’s Mary?”
“Mary is the cat’s owner. Only when the cat dies, or the cat’s owner dies, can the Hide and Seek game end.”
As Du Lai spoke, he sighed deeply, “Whether it’s the cat or Mary, we couldn’t handle either. We tried to take advantage of the cat’s nap time to attack Mary, but we accidentally woke up the cat. Everyone died as a result, and I was also seriously injured. In the end, I had to use the puzzle to leave the game. So, I don’t know how to clear the game.”
After he finished his words, the noise around seemed to get louder.
Everyone was discussing how to kill the cat or Mary in all different ways.
Shen Fei, all eager, asked Shen Mo, “Mary clearly seems easier to deal with, but since Mary and the cat are inseparable, brother, what do you think should be done?”
“There are many methods, but not all are applicable.” Shen Mo replied indifferently, “Without witnessing the actual situation, it’s not right to judge.”
Someone suggested making a large trap during the daytime to trap the ragdoll cat.
Someone else proposed a plan to separate the cat from Mary, then concentrate their attack on Mary.
Yet another person pointed out that the cat must have a weakness, perhaps in its whiskers or tail.
All sorts of crazy ideas were spoken.
Footsteps approached.
The originally door-guarding Yu Yaqing walked into the banquet step by step, stopped in front of Chu Huaijin and Professor Song, saluted, and said firmly:
“Game number 24 is moving towards us, should I arrange for an emergency evacuation?”
Compared with the much feared number 21, game number 24 had virtually no presence.
Since its existence, no one had triggered it. As a result, the city’s people always unconsciously ignored it, remembering only the other 23 games.
