Staring at the battle royale scenario before him.

Middle-aged Uncle commented with confusion: ["Hmm... I just logged in and don't quite understand what's happening, but I remember those two foreigners chasing Xiao Nuo and her college friends were cultists, right? Why aren't they acting as cultists now but as chainsaw murderers?"]

The two residents of Room 701 were members of a certain cult.

They lived here to hunt lab rats and sacrifice them to their evil god.

Like that introverted girl tied to the chair.

If not for this accident, she would have been sacrificed by these two.

But previously, the live stream viewers had only seen them perform sacrificial rituals - never witnessed them chasing people with chainsaws.

After understanding the whole story.

Middle-aged Uncle finally realized why these two foreigners were chasing people with chainsaws.

Meanwhile in Alice Apartment, Xiao Q and others forced into this battle royale.

Were fleeing desperately.

They screamed for help while running, begging someone to call the police.

While passing various rooms, they frantically knocked on doors seeking assistance.

But most residents seemed aware of the situation outside and refused to open, fearing they'd be dragged into this deadly chase.

In Room 304, it was 9 PM.

Jiang Ran, having finished his day as a customer service rep, sat on the sofa resting with eyes closed.

On the glass coffee table before him were medicine.

And a glass of water.

He had just taken his dissociative identity disorder medication and was resting.

His brief rest was interrupted by increasingly loud noises.

Frowning slightly - this was the first noisy disturbance since moving in days ago.

After all, this apartment housed few residents, all wealthy.

Not like those large complexes with mixed crowds of prostitutes and clients.

He assumed the noise would soon fade.

Instead it grew louder and clearer.

As if right outside his door.

Unable to tolerate the noise and curious, Jiang Ran went to his door, opened it and peeked out.

Wanting to see which bastard was making nighttime ruckus.

He frowned before looking - and regretted looking after.

He saw several sweaty, blood-stained people running toward him, pursued by unseen figures.

Instinct warned Jiang Ran to shut the door immediately - this was beyond his involvement.

He obeyed his instinct and tried closing the door, but too late - the group barged in.

Forced backward, Jiang Ran watched as they entered and immediately closed the door behind them.

Then all three collapsed on the floor, chests heaving violently.

Breathing like exhausted bulls.

After momentary confusion, Jiang Ran recognized them.

"Aren't you Xiao Nuo's classmates and friends?"

Three people had entered - two males and one female.

Led by Xiao Q.

Xiao Q gasped: "Yes."

Jiang Ran: "What's your situation? Why are you covered in blood?"

Xiao Q: "Long story short - we're being hunted by those two foreigners from Room 701!"

"They kidnapped our friend, and when we discovered it, they tried to silence us!!!!"

Jiang Ran froze: "That wild? That intense? Feels like you're filming a movie?"

Seeing Jiang Ran's skepticism.

Xiao Q insisted: "Not lying! One of us is already dead! This blood is proof!!!"

During their escape, one male student inexplicably stopped to hide in an elevator.

Instead of safety, he met the chainsaw.

That image would haunt Xiao Q's group forever.

"Damn, if true, I need to call police!"

As Jiang Ran reached for his phone, he learned they'd already called - now just needed to survive until police arrived.

For some reason, Jiang Ran felt ominous foreboding.

Then he understood why.

"Open door! Open door!"

Broken Chinese accompanied furious pounding.

Instantly, all four in the room held their breath.

Soon the knocking stopped.

Replaced by chainsaw buzzing.

Their pursuer was sawing through the door.

"Wait... is that a chainsaw?"

A stunned Jiang Ran stared at the trio.

"Yes, a chainsaw - why else would we three be running?"

Xiao Q panted rapidly.

"Do you think my door can stop a chainsaw?"

Jiang Ran suddenly asked.

All four fell silent.

A minute later, they acted in unison - pushing a large table against the door as makeshift barricade.

But the chainsaw proved too powerful, already destroying most of the door's center.

Jiang Ran's high-quality door stood no chance against such force.

"Heh heh heh"

Through the damaged door.

The young white man outside flashed a terrifying grin before resuming destruction.

Soon the hole allowed easy entry - the table now useless.

All four immediately fled to the bedroom, slamming its door shut.

"What do we do! What do we do! Why aren't police here yet!!!!"

In the bedroom.

The female student had broken into tears.

Crying uncontrollably.

The other male turned to Xiao Q: "Didn't Xiao Peng say you study criminal investigation to become a detective? Think of something!!!!"

Xiao Q, nearly shaken sick by the guy, replied helplessly:

"What can I do? Yes I study investigations, but I'm no detective yet! Especially against chainsaws! How could I handle this?!"

The male student also neared breakdown, especially remembering his friend killed by the young white man, and collapsed crying:

"Ahhhh! I don't want to die!!! Why did this happen to us!!!!"

Meanwhile in the live stream room.

The main screen split in two.

One side showed the young black man chasing.

The other the young white man pursuing.

Both had many viewers, but more watched the white man's side.

Because the black man was still chasing.

While the white man had cornered his prey.

A life-or-death standoff naturally drew more attention.

What shocked many viewers was.

Jiang Ran the lab rat had gotten dragged into this!!!

Originally during this battle royale.

Many assumed Xiao Nuo would be the fourth to die, given the circumstances.

Several of her group had already fallen to chainsaws.

But no one anticipated.

Jiang Ran getting involved.

Whether from misfortune or what - just opening his door out of curiosity got him trapped.

Now the most thrilling moment approached.

Between the final two lab rats.

Who would die first - Jiang Ran or Xiao Nuo?

In Room 304's bedroom.

Jiang Ran watched as Xiao Q's trio frantically piled bedroom items against the door.

He sat on his bed, frowning at the scene.

Chaos outside, chaos inside.

His mind filled with Danger Warning System alerts:

[Ding! Host in imminent danger! Evacuate immediately! Points +10!]

[Ding! Host in imminent danger! Evacuate immediately! Points +10!]

[Ding! Host in imminent danger! Evacuate immediately! Points +10!]

"Ahhhhh, am I really going to die here?!"

"No way, I can't die like this - at least I'll fight back!"

If only Jiang Ran had known this would happen, he'd never have opened that door.

But regrets were useless now.
