Chapter 10

The death of the woman in the same group as the burly man No. 7 did not surprise Lorna . After all, after the big man discovered the rules, it was only a matter of time before he killed the woman in red skirt in order to find an exit and survive.
He was strong, so it was not difficult for him to kill the woman in the red dress. But the irony was that the woman in the red dress was so happy to be in the same group with No. 7 in this strange space, thinking that No. 7's tall and strong figure could give her a sense of security. She did not expect that this amulet might also become her death warrant.
The death of boy No.5 was also something Lorna had expected. He was not very old, and the impression he left on Lorna in the space was that he had a very simple face. It was not surprising that he fell into the hands of John, a man with rich social and life experience, and who was scheming and resourceful.
But what surprised Lorna was John's death and the fact that the professional woman No. 2 who was in the same group as the doctor was still alive.
Lorna, squatting in the big vat, hugged her knees tightly, trying to be calmer and sort out the clues in her mind more clearly. She was alone and weak, the thinnest among the few survivors, and also the most dangerous.
The slightest negligence could cost her her life.
She was busy moving the bodies, cleaning up the scene, and guarding against possible sneak attacks from people around. She did not notice the order of death between John and the teenager in time. The cause of John's death could only be determined by her speculation.
There may be two reasons for John's death. One is that two people in the team discovered at the same time that the prompts on the cards in their consciousness had changed, and they deduced a way to leave the space, and they wanted to kill each other. In the process of killing each other, their intentions were discovered by the other party, and they both died in the fight.
This possibility is not great. Although this game provides everyone with "props" to hold in their hands when entering the space, few people are as lucky as Lorna to hold a sharp weapon like a dagger.
In the absence of weapons, it is difficult for both parties to lose their lives in a bare-handed fight.
Then there is another possibility, that is, after John or the young man won, they were weak and were attacked by people from other groups!
When she thought of this, Lorna's body shuddered subconsciously, and the water in the tank shook slightly. She didn't know if it was because the environment was too quiet or she was too nervous, but she heard the water shaking gently and making a slight sound when it hit the wall of the tank.
This won't do! She immediately became alert and hugged her legs tighter. It was not easy to hold back the instinctive trembling of her body. She tried her best to control herself, even breathing carefully.
If the survivor in John's team died from a sneak attack by others, it would prove that the places in this space are interconnected, and it would only be a matter of time for others to find her.
The person who killed the survivors in John's team might be the doctor and the second woman, or it might be a burly man.
Lorna held his breath and frowned.
In her initial speculation, the doctor was an intelligent person, cautious and highly observant. After realizing that this game might progress through cannibalism, No. 2 should be very dangerous.
But up to now, five of the nine people have died, three of the four teams have encountered problems, and even everyone in one of the teams has died. However, the woman in red is still alive, which is quite strange.
Could it be that after guessing the intention of the game, the doctor still maintained his moral standards and maintained his noble character?
No, that's impossible!
After this thought emerged in Lorna's mind, he quickly rejected it.
Before this, she didn't know the doctor, and her understanding of the doctor came from the brief time they spent together in the previous space.
However, from the short time they had spent together, when John took the lead in striving for the right to speak and tried to establish absolute authority among everyone, everyone was more or less dissatisfied. The doctor did not refute him rashly, but started with the subtleties, raising issues such as the loss of control of mobile phones and watches, and calmly took control of the overall situation.
When everyone was panicked, helpless and losing their backbone, he established his position and then made everyone obey his arrangements.
In this regard, the doctor's actions are much better than John's.
Everyone knows that in such a strange space, having the right to speak and being in a dominant position will bring more benefits to oneself.
The doctor's various behaviors proved that he was not a smart man without selfish desires, but it was very intriguing why such a man with means, desires, and strategies had not yet attacked No. 2.
Either the second professional woman realized the danger posed by the doctor and fled in advance, hiding somewhere like herself.
However, such an environment is full of dangers, especially when you become the prey and everyone else becomes the hunter. It is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing for a woman to be alone.
While Lorna was still thinking about this in his mind, the cards in his consciousness changed again.
The card in the lower left corner was turned over, and the burly man No.7 appeared on the card with a smile!
This person, who Lorna thought was quite difficult, hard to deal with, and dangerous, actually died!
Lorna bit her lower lip tightly. There were a total of four people who survived in the space, including her. She hid herself, and the burly man would definitely die at the hands of the other two.
Judging from the height and physical fitness, the former is far superior to the doctor and No. 2. If these two people fight alone, it will not be easy to kill No. 7.
But if the two of them join forces, they will have a chance of winning.
It seems that her initial guess was true. For some reason, the doctor did not kill the woman in red. Instead, he reached some kind of agreement with her and worked closely with her, which led to the elimination of man No.7.
After the death of No.7, she was the remaining survivor.
If the doctor wants to leave the space, he will find her sooner or later.
Her location was not completely secret. When Girl No. 1 was still alive, she screamed several times. Although she did not get a response from others, it still left a hidden danger.
When Lorna thought of this, her whole body tensed up. The tip of the dagger in her sleeve pierced through her clothes and stabbed into her flesh. The pain awakened some of her rationality, but it also caused her blood to flow faster.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but because she was too nervous, Lorna vaguely heard the sound of "rustling" coming from the bushes outside. This slight disturbance made her highly alert. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, vest and back of her neck. The toes of her feet curled up involuntarily. She bit her lower lip hard and tried to calm herself. All she could hear was the small echo of her own rapid breathing in the tank and the chaotic "bang bang bang" sound of her heartbeat.
She held the phone in one hand and the mouse cable in the other. The cold water in the tank brought waves of chills that made her shiver. At this moment, the footsteps became louder and louder. It was definitely not her hallucination. The voice of the second professional woman rang out:
"No.9?"
This voice now sounded like the call from the devil in hell.
