Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"No, wait a moment?"

Xu Tong suddenly reacted. Since the ghosts are all on the ceiling, then theoretically...

Could he win this game of hide-and-seek simply by hiding in a place on the ceiling that was completely undetectable?

Xu Tong turned around and looked at the hollowed-out space under the bed. Without any hesitation, he slipped into it, hiding himself under the bed before the ghost doll could turn around.

Although the bed in the room was an enlarged version of a baby crib, it was still easy to accommodate Xu Tong.

Xu Tong carefully observed the ghost's movements in his line of sight. Sure enough, as long as he hid under the bed, the ghost wouldn't find him.

On the three-dimensional view, Xu Tong could even see the ghost stepping over his location, but it still didn't discover him.

"Phew..."

Letting out a breath, Xu Tong relaxed and began counting down the ten minutes in his mind.

As long as ten minutes passed, he would win this game of hide-and-seek and could walk out of this building openly.

Just as Xu Tong was thinking this.

"Cough cough cough—"

Aside from the baby's crying, a violent coughing sound echoed throughout the building, like an earthquake. The intense tremors stimulated the entire building, almost overturning it!

Xu Tong couldn't directly describe the strength of the earthquake.

However, the enlarged baby crib was directly overturned!

The ground of the building shook, up and down, actually flipping the baby crib over!

With a loud crash, Xu Tong was exposed in broad daylight. He looked up at the foot on the ceiling in a daze.

At this moment, the toe of that foot was pointing in the direction of Xu Tong.

Clearly, he had been discovered!

"Playing dirty and targeting me, huh!"

Just as Xu Tong was about to get up and run towards the door, he suddenly felt unsteady on his feet. His body lurched forward, and he fell directly to the ground.

Looking back, Xu Tong discovered that a pair of small hands had latched onto his back. A small figure emerged from behind him, clinging tightly to his back, impossible to shake off.

The ghost doll's name made it sound like a doll, but its weight at this moment felt like a ton. It was hard to imagine that Xu Tong, an adult male, carrying a doll on his back, would have his movements affected.

Xu Tong initially thought he was done for, but he quickly realized that although the doll was clinging to his back, the pair of feet on the ceiling were still taking steady steps, one footprint at a time, towards him.

This ghost doll and the ghost on the ceiling weren't the same ghost?

Xu Tong immediately got up, without any hesitation, and ran out of the "Daddy's Room" on the second floor.

"Hehehe—"

The child's laughter continued, but it didn't sound like the laughter coming from the ghost doll on Xu Tong's back.

It was more like...

The laughter of the house itself.

"Could it be that the house itself is a ghost?"

Xu Tong didn't have much time to think about this question. He originally planned to go straight to the third floor, but as soon as he stepped on the stairs, the stairs leading to the third floor collapsed right in front of him.

Xu Tong: ...

That's just great!

With the stairs to the third floor gone, Xu Tong only had two choices.

Either stay on the second floor or go back to the first floor.

There was definitely no place to hide on the first floor. He had already confirmed this earlier. So, there was only one option left.

Xu Tong rolled his eyes, turned around, and plunged into the baby room.

Ding-a-ling—

The sound of the baby's mobile echoed in the baby room.

The entire baby room looked like a copy of the "Daddy's Room" next door, except that the baby crib was one size smaller, and the baby clothes and toys in the closet were also one size smaller, nothing more.

"Wait a moment..."

Xu Tong narrowed his eyes.

"I think I understand what's going on with this house..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough—"

Another burst of coughing sounded. After the earth shook, the baby's laughter turned into the baby's crying, and it was a heart-wrenching cry, as if enduring great pain.

Reaching out, Xu Tong opened the closet door, but the moment he touched the closet door, he felt something dirty and sticky smeared on his hand.

It was as if the closet door in front of him had rotted.

Hiding in the closet, sure enough, an unspeakable stench and the smell of vomit mixed together, rushing into Xu Tong's nose.

It was too much!

In Xu Tong's words, it was, "I feel like I'm soaking in a septic tank!"

The ten-minute countdown was about to end. Xu Tong pinched his nose, enduring the discomfort, and observed the ghost's movements.

"It seems that being caught by the ghost doll won't kill you; only being caught by the ghost on the ceiling will," Xu Tong counted down the last few seconds in his mind, while thinking to himself, "But I now roughly know who to write the name of the package that needs to be signed for this time."

The name to be written on this package is not the name of the headless ghost.

But the name of this dead baby.

From the beginning of the hide-and-seek game, this entire house has become the baby's body.

This is also why "Daddy's Room" contains an oversized baby crib, and the closet is filled with large baby clothes and dolls.

Because this baby never really entered Daddy's Room, Daddy's Room is purely what he imagined.

The world of children is very simple. What they use, their parents must use a larger version of it, which is why there is an enlarged version of the baby crib.

These ten minutes are the life of this baby suffering from illness, from the good health of the body to the gradual weakening of the body, the earth-shattering cough, and the collapse of the stairs, the smell of decay from the room, all are proof.

When entering this house at the beginning, the medicine placed on the table had already indicated that the baby's body was ill, and it was all connected.

The ten-minute countdown ended, the smell of decay in the air gradually disappeared, and Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the closet.

Sure enough, after ten minutes passed, the baby's crying and laughter disappeared, the entire building returned to normal, and even the collapsed third-floor stairs had been restored.

"Phew..."

Touching his shoulder, Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could relax, Xu Tong felt something cold on his hand.

He turned around.

"Hehehe—"

The ghost doll was still on his back.

It hadn't disappeared.
