Into Trap of Fire Chapter 3

Emma Xin, this poor little girl, had her limbs made into stool legs and her neck stretched to make a chair back. It was difficult for her to write a diary under such circumstances.

Moreover, even though her daughter has become like this, her mother can still hold her on her lap and write her diary word by word to fulfill her little wishes. As the diary says, this is a loving and extremely happy family.

Jason Bai, whose family was not very happy, was deeply moved by this warm family atmosphere. He curled his lips unconsciously and decided to carry the diary with him to see if he could take it back.

There are not many things in this world that can make him happy, and it is even rarer to find something that can make his heart move. He is determined to get this heartwarming diary full of childish words.

While he was checking the puzzle, the conflict over there had escalated.

The man was deeply afraid of the ghost that occupied half of the puzzle. He was afraid and timid about this unknown thing, so he vented all his anger on the ungrateful junior high school student.

The junior high school student's repeated rejections made him unable to suppress his emotions, so after a round of insults and threats, the man finally couldn't help but use his fists. He knocked the junior high school student to the ground and tried to snatch the puzzle by force.

Jason Bai naturally couldn't just sit back and watch an adult bully a student.

Jason Bai felt that he was deeply influenced by his righteous partner, Comrade Michael Wang, and it was not his style to not take the lead in such matters.

At this moment when his classmate has already died, he wants to stand up on behalf of his good brother who can no longer speak and uphold justice in this dark world.

"Brother, it's not good to hit a minor, right?"

While no one was paying attention, Jason Bai put the diary with a puzzle piece in it into his pocket, then walked forward disapprovingly and patted the man on the shoulder: "We are all grown men, how can you be so embarrassed to snatch something from a child?"

"Do you know him?" the man asked coldly.

"I don't know him." Jason Bai was stunned, but he recalled what Michael Wang would do in this situation, so he calmly adjusted his expression and said with a look of grief: "But no matter what, beating a child is wrong. If there is a problem, we can slowly solve it. He is still so young, the future bud of the motherland. How can you bear to hit a child?"

"Oh, virgin? Are you mentally ill?" The man sneered, "I'm warning you, get the hell away from me, don't pretend to be a good person, if you piss me off, I'll beat you up too!"

"You're standing up for someone you don't know, do you want to get beaten up?!"

The man clenched his fists, which made a crackling sound, and the arm he stretched out was also unusually strong. It seemed that the man was a person who liked to exercise in real life.

Jason Bai, who lacked exercise, weighed his body and seemed a little afraid. Seeing Jason Bai take two steps back, the man sneered, as if mocking his arrogance.

Kicking the middle school student aside, the man snatched the middle school student's puzzle, scattered his own puzzle on the middle school student's head, spit on him, and then continued to mock Jason Bai, "Hey, why don't you continue to be a good person? Come on, continue?"

After getting the puzzle piece from the junior high school student, the shadow that had been hanging over the man's head was suddenly dispelled a lot. Seeing the junior high school student lying on the ground, and then looking at the pretty boy in front of him, the man's fear dissipated a little.

No matter how strange the things he encountered were, it would not be someone as capable as him who would die.

He has already thrown that piece of the puzzle away. If anyone is to die, it should be this ungrateful junior high school student who dies first.

Oh, and this nosy pretty boy...

Seeing Jason Bai frightened and retreating to the desk to fiddle with the puzzle, the man came up with a great idea.

So, he strode towards Jason Bai and said maliciously: "Don't you want me to return the puzzle to him? Well, I'll give you a chance! Let me see your puzzle, and if I'm satisfied, I'll return the puzzle in my hand to this little loser."

The man pressed forward step by step. Faced with the threat so close at hand, Jason Bai was forced to move closer to the desk.

Looking at the man with a face full of flesh, and then at the junior high school student lying on the ground, crying while packing up the puzzle, Jason Bai gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment and finally made a decision: "Okay, you see, but if you take my puzzle, you must return the puzzle to that child!"

"Okay, you know what's best for you!"

Time was precious, so the man did not make things difficult for Jason Bai. He could not wait to fiddle with the puzzle pieces with his hands and found that Jason Bai's puzzle was extremely clean, without any trace of ghosts.

"There's actually this kind of puzzle..."

The man didn't believe it and searched again, but still didn't find any trace of a ghost.

Suddenly, ecstasy surged into the man's heart. He completely forgot about the idea of   humiliating Jason Bai. He immediately threw the puzzle he had snatched from the junior high school student onto the desk, picked up Jason Bai's puzzle and left.

After the man left, Bai Ying simply picked up the puzzle pieces the man had thrown away, and then took a quick look at them.

The puzzle created by the junior high school student is generally clean, except for an ominous white shadow in the chandelier area, which is probably what they call a "ghost".

The ghost on the ceiling was small in size, and should be the boy in the family of four. Unfortunately, the diary described the other three people in detail, but only briefly mentioned the boy, leaving Jason Bai clueless. He only knew that the boy was very naughty.

At this time, ten minutes had passed, but Jason Bai was not in a hurry at all.

After counting the puzzle pieces, he found that there were indeed 63 pieces. He picked up the puzzle and walked towards the middle school student. At this time, the middle school student had already picked up the scattered puzzle pieces on the ground. He wiped his tears and struggled to get up.

Seeing this, Jason Bai hurried over to support the junior high school student and helped him up.

After the junior high school student stood firmly, he took out a tissue and handed it to him, motioning him to wipe away his tears.

The middle school student took the tissue, blew his nose vigorously with it, and said with a sob: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome."

After thanking him, the middle school student still stood there motionless. Jason Bai thought for a moment, then quickly smiled warmly and said sympathetically, "By the way, this is the puzzle that belongs to you. I'll give it back to you. Please give me the puzzle that person gave you."

"I feel so embarrassed..." Although the junior high school student said this, his face was full of struggle and reluctance. He hesitated for a long time, but still stuffed the man's puzzle to Jason Bai, and felt relieved.

Seeing Jason Bai accept the puzzle piece nonchalantly, the junior high school student felt very guilty, but he was too scared. He was too afraid of being killed by a ghost.

The strong desire to survive defeated his conscience. In order to make himself feel at ease, he even found an excuse for himself - he was the one who found the puzzle, and it was right for this person to return it to him.

In the end, the junior high school student didn't say anything. He lowered his head and walked silently to the square table with the ghost boy's puzzle.

After receiving the new puzzle from the junior high school student, Jason Bai was not in a hurry to look at the specific content of the new puzzle.

Because, people with dark minds always think that other people are as dark as they are, so when Jason Bai got the puzzle, he silently counted the pieces to make sure that all 63 pieces were there, and then he began to pay attention to which ghost was on the puzzle.

Just as the man said, the ghost in this puzzle is eye-catching and scary.

Bright red skirt, gloomy face, although he thought it was the mother among the four, Jason Bai still carefully identified her and confirmed that it was indeed a woman.

There are many men who like to wear women's clothes these days, and male ghosts might also awaken this habit. He doesn't want to make mistakes in such minor details.

According to the diary, the mother was in a very strange state after she came back, and she was undoubtedly dead. The body of "mother" was cold, and it was very likely that she drowned or froze to death.

Although bodies will become cold and stiff after death, his father's abnormality was gluttony, and his brother's abnormality was naughtiness. Even though children might not think too much when writing diaries, Jason Bai still regarded the coldness as his mother's abnormality.

There were only so many clues in the diary. Jason Bai remembered that the man found the puzzle near the closet, so he walked to the closet with the puzzle and opened it directly.

"Crunch---"

Pulling the handle open, I saw the closet was filled with men's and women's clothing of various styles, with two stacks of children's clothing stacked at the bottom, which should belong to the two children in the family.

From the outside, the wardrobe looks perfectly normal, except that it clearly shows that a family of four once lived in this room.

Jason Bai couldn't figure out where the clue was, so he just started to feel around. As a result, he really felt something was wrong.

All the women's clothes felt wet to the touch.

Jason Bai touched other clothes again. The men's and children's clothes were intact and felt very dry and smooth.

So, Jason Bai pulled over a piece of women's clothing and smelled it, and immediately, the strong smell of perfume rushed to his nose.

In addition, mixed with the perfume, there is an indescribable stench, a rotten, corpse-like stench that makes people feel nauseous at the first sniff.

The moment he smelled this scent, Jason Bai realized that these clothes must have been worn by his "mother".

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this feeling that moves people to tears.

He immediately stuffed the clothes back into the closet.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a moment, he had to endure the pain and pulled out all the women's clothes and held them in his arms.

By the way, he also pulled out two thick men's suits.

When Jason Bai returned to his seat with a pile of clothes and puzzle pieces, except for him, the players in the other three seats were already ready and had already started putting the puzzle together.

Chapter 4

Rachel Chu was very surprised to see Jason Bai coming over with a bunch of women's clothes.

She did not say anything when the man bullied the junior high school student because she was afraid of getting into trouble and worried that her puzzle would be snatched away by the man. But in her conscience, she still admired people who dared to stand up for others.

The young man had dyed light blonde hair. At first she thought he was a gangster, but she didn't expect that appearance is not the best indicator of a person's character. He was actually a kind person, but he became a little cowardly later on.

However, the fact that he dared to stand up shows that the young man is a good person.

Because of Jason Bai's brave act, Rachel Chu believed that he was a passionate young man. She was not afraid that he would snatch her puzzle, so she tilted her head and asked in a low voice: "Hello, these women's clothes should be in the closet. Can I ask why you carry these clothes with you?"

"I guess they might be useful."

Jason Bai glanced at Rachel Chu's seat. There were a lot of snacks next to Rachel Chu's puzzle, which were taken from the food table.

At that time, he only knew that there was food on the food table. Due to the distance, he couldn't see clearly what was on it. But now Rachel Chu was next to him, and he could see all these things. Next to Rachel Chu were bars of chocolate, mixed with some candies and small bags of puffed foods.

He already knew the contents of the puzzles of the man and the junior high school student. After removing his puzzle, only 'Dad' was left in the family of four.

The 'Dad' in the diary suffered from bulimia and ate all day long. Although the diary with the clues was in his hand, Rachel Chu was able to take the food, so she must have got other clues near the food table.

Jason Bai speculated so, but the next second, he was slapped in the face.

Because he saw Rachel Chu tear off the chocolate wrapper and actually start eating it!

What the hell, weren't you supposed to feed these things to the ghosts? Why did you eat them yourself?

Rachel Chu's ferocious way of chewing chocolate made Jason Bai begin to doubt whether he had interpreted the clue wrongly.

Rachel Chu's behavior didn't seem like she had found a new clue, but rather that she was possessed by a ghost. Coincidentally, the "father" of this family was a Nathan Starving, and Rachel Chu happened to get the puzzle piece of her father. Jason Bai found it hard to believe that this was just a coincidence.

In order to determine whether Rachel Chu was really possessed by a ghost, Jason Bai asked tentatively: "Madam, are you hungry? This place is very strange. Do you dare to eat things from the game world?"

"What's wrong? Are these things poisonous?" Jason Bai's question made Rachel Chu a little confused: "I saw that these snacks were well packaged and not expired. I thought it would be okay to eat them. At most, I would get a stomachache. There wouldn't be any real problems, right?"

Seeing Jason Bai's sad face, Rachel Chu's face turned pale: "It's over, I also know this place is weird, but I have been wanting to eat since I was a kid, and I can't help it. And I always feel that there is something strange about this game, it won't be so easy to pass, I know my brain is not smart, so... I'm afraid I might die here today, thinking that I want to die with a full stomach, so I started eating, but how could it be really poisonous!"

As Rachel Chu spoke, tears began to flow again, and she didn't look like she was lying.

In addition, when Rachel Chu raised her hand to wipe her tears, Jason Bai saw a scar on the back of her right hand and her face was slightly deformed, which confirmed her statement that she loved to eat.

Rachel Chu cried miserably, and it was obvious that she was not living a happy life in reality. This made Jason Bai a little excited, and his brain began to uncontrollably want to stir up some trouble, making the already unfortunate young woman even more unfortunate.

Of course, getting excited in this situation would be tantamount to seeking death. Jason Bai pinched his thigh a few times, forcing himself to calm down.

After calming down, Jason Bai's feverish brain finally cooled down. He knew that he couldn't let anyone else die.

This game is very weird. Even he doesn't want to die without knowing why. There must be a cannon fodder as a control group.

So he whispered to comfort her: "It's not poisonous, but you'd better not eat these foods anymore."

Facing Rachel Chu's puzzled look, Jason Bai explained: "I got a clue from the desk. The ghost on your puzzle may have starved to death, so the food on the table may be prepared for it..."

...

So she ate the offering to the Nathan Starvings?

Rachel Chu's face looked even uglier.

She quickly put down the half-eaten chocolate, not bothering to talk to Jason Bai, wiped away her tears and began to concentrate on solving the puzzle.

After giving Rachel Chu a hint, Jason Bai also began to solve his own puzzle.

He took out his cell phone and checked the time. There were still thirteen minutes left before the end of the game.

Fortunately, the puzzle in his hand had a reference object. Whenever he was unsure, he could just turn his head and look at the wardrobe and continue to piece the puzzle together.

When putting the puzzle together, Jason Bai deliberately avoided the parts with ghosts and assembled the puzzle along the edges towards the center.

He started putting it together later, so when he had almost finished putting the edge parts together, Rachel Chu had almost finished the center part.

While Jason Bai was working on his own, he was also paying attention to the progress of others.

The junior high school student was the youngest, but he was the fastest. When Jason Bai noticed him, he had already finished most of the background and the chandelier above his head.

Jason Bai remembered that the chandelier part of the puzzle was blocked by a white shadow, so he subconsciously looked up at the chandelier.

As a result, when he looked up, his whole body froze.

I saw a pale-faced child squatting on the chandelier, staring intently at the bottom.

Noticing Jason Bai's gaze, one of the child's eyes suddenly turned around, as if looking for the human who saw him. Seeing this, Jason Bai immediately lowered his head obediently and pretended that he saw nothing.

As Jason Bai lowered his head, the child's eyes turned back again. Its other eye bulged out of the eye socket, but still hung below the eye socket, looking resentfully at the junior high school student who continued to complete the puzzle.

However, the junior high school student was unaware of all this. He was sweating profusely and wanted to complete the puzzle as quickly as possible, but he did not notice that as he put the pieces together, the child's neck was stretching longer and longer.

As the middle school student put the white puzzle pieces together, 'it's' neck had already hung down from the chandelier, silently stretched behind him, and slowly approached the back of his head.
