Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Game Rules Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Game Rules “How could this happen?” Jiang Ruoyao’s voice involuntarily raised by several degrees, tinged with a hint of panic, “We… we…”

Jiang Heng also seemed utterly at a loss, continually looking around, trying to find a way out.

But, after searching for a long time, he faced a despairing reality, that no matter the path they took to get there or the way they wanted to leave, they couldn’t find it.

“How could this happen?” Jiang Heng dejectedly squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, looking as though the sky was falling, “Are we really going to die here today?”

Watching her boyfriend’s despairing demeanor, Jiang Ruoyao stepped forward, squatted down, and patted his shoulder, comforting him, “Don’t be like this. We will definitely find a way out.”

These words not only failed to comfort Jiang Heng but seemed to add fuel to the fire, causing him to explode. He flung her hand away and then pushed Jiang Ruoyao, “It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t for your insisting on coming to this damned place to play, how could we be trapped here! You’ve doomed me, you jinx!”

Jiang Ruoyao, caught off guard by the sudden push, fell to the ground. She braced herself with her hands, immediately scraping them and blood seeped out tingeing crimson spots.

For Jiang Ruoyao, however, the psychological damage was much more severe than her physical injuries. She stared dumbly at her boyfriend, who usually treated her with so much care, now distorted with hostility. She could hardly believe this was the same person.

“Jiang Heng, I–” Jiang Ruoyao extended her hand, seemingly wanting to say something to Jiang Heng, but as she opened her mouth, something seemed to block her throat, rendering her momentarily speechless.

At the same time, she felt a sour sting at the tip of her nose, and tears uncontrollably began to flow down.

Seeing Jiang Ruoyao’s pitiful, tearful state, Jiang Heng showed no sympathy. Instead, he spoke with disdain, “Crying, crying, always crying. Apart from crying, what else can you do? Having a girlfriend like you, I really think I’m jinxed for eight generations.”

Hearing these words, Jiang Ruoyao sharply looked up, disbelief filling her eyes.

In an instant, she started to doubt whether this man before her was really her boyfriend. Or perhaps, everything before had been a facade, never revealing his true nature because they had never faced such danger.

“What are you looking at?” At this moment, Jiang Heng completely lost his usual patience, “Do you really think I liked you? If it weren’t for your family’s wealth, do you think I would have spared you a glance?”

“With that pampered princess temper, how many could stand you?”

Each word cut Jiang Ruoyao like a knife, turning her face pale from the pain.

Seeing this scene, the Red-dressed Ghost looked particularly excited, even her eyes shining brightly.

Lu Yichen showed no additional expression, nor did he glance over. All his attention was on Zhong Niangyao, uninterested in others’ affairs.

Zhong Niangyao, witnessing what happened between Jiang Heng and Jiang Ruoyao, seemed unsurprised.

Jiang Heng and Jiang Ruoyao turned against each other, or more accurately, Jiang Heng was venting alone! He probably thought they might not make it out today, so he vented all his pent-up resentment. Or maybe it wasn’t just venting resentment but simply seeking someone to unload his current fear upon!

Either way, Zhong Niangyao didn’t think much of it.

Earlier, when she saw the facial features of Jiang Ruoyao and Jiang Heng, she detected that these two would not last long together.

Jiang Heng had a narrow forehead, indicating a narrow-mindedness, a protruding nasal bone and shallow eyes that couldn’t bear to see others’ good fortune, and a deep philtrum showing he was scheming.

In short, Jiang Heng was nothing more than a deceitful villain.

As for Jiang Ruoyao, the complete opposite: a full forehead and square jaw, rounded earlobes indicating she was born into wealth and much beloved. Combined with a personality that was innocent, kind, lively, and cheerful, she was truly a blessed individual.

Even if these two were together, they wouldn’t last long.

Moreover, Jiang Ruoyao’s family likely often performed good deeds, earning extensive blessings that benefited descendants, making her a person of good fortune.

Even now, temporarily deceived by Jiang Heng, she would soon find a way to see his true face.

Jiang Ruoyao would have a fortunate marriage and a house full of children – an excellent Life Chart.

Seemingly intrigued by what transpired between Jiang Heng and Jiang Ruoyao, the Red-dressed Ghost smiled slowly, her smile utterly cold, giving off a sinister vibe, “Now that you all are on my turf, how about we play a game? If you win the game, I’ll let the winner go.”

“What game?” Jiang Heng eagerly asked.

He was no fool and saw clearly that the Red-dressed Ghost was no mere staff member. The predicament they found themselves in couldn’t be the work of mere humans. Undoubtedly, this red-dressed woman was an Evil Ghost.

Thinking this, Jiang Heng shuddered again, his blame toward Jiang Ruoyao deepening. In his view, if it wasn’t for Jiang Ruoyao insisting on entering this haunted house, they wouldn’t be in such a desperate situation.

“It’s quite simple!” the Red-dressed Ghost laughed with a bloodthirsty grin, “There are four of you here, but today, only one can leave this place. So, who will it be?”

“Let me leave, please let me go!”

Upon hearing there was a chance to escape, hope flickered in Jiang Heng’s heart, “I can’t die here; I’m still young, I have a promising future ahead.”

“This, I can’t decide,” laughed the Red-dressed Ghost, shaking her head, “Let me tell you the rules of the game! Today, of you four, only one will survive. And the survivor will be able to leave.”

With that, the Red-dressed Ghost waved her hand, and a sharp Dagger appeared out of thin air.

The others showed no reaction, but Jiang Heng’s eyes lit up immediately. Fearing someone else might snatch it, he rushed forward in three strides and grabbed the Dagger.

He clutched the Dagger tightly in his hands, the sharp point towards the others, his eyes gleaming with a wild and slightly vicious light. His demeanor suggested he was ready to eliminate everyone there.
