Great, It’s the Pervy Neighbor. We’re Doomed
Chapter 41: The 25th Round Nearing Its End
The remaining six members of Xiao Peng's group had all gathered at the base of Alice Apartment. Even after several police cars left, they still hadn't moved from the spot.
After waiting for some time, several ambulances arrived. Medical staff loaded the bodies of the three deceased onto the vehicles while calling their university advisors to contact the students' parents. Soon, the ambulances departed as well, leaving the area in temporary silence.
"Let's go back to Xiao Nuo's place first! Our stuff is still there!" one of them suggested.
Truth be told, after experiencing this manhunt event, the remaining six had developed an inexplicable sense of fear toward Alice Apartment. If not for their belongings left in Xiao Nuo's apartment, none would have wanted to return.
Upon entering Alice Apartment, they saw the first-floor manager Xiao Zhang anxiously making phone calls—likely contacting his superiors to handle the aftermath of such a major incident.
As the six took the elevator to the 9th floor, the Introverted Girl suddenly broke down in tears inside the elevator. After being rescued, she had exchanged information with the others. It turned out during the dare game, she had actually knocked on the door, and the young white man from Room 701 answered. They conversed, and since the challenge required a group photo including the room number, the young white man called his black roommate to help take the photo using the girl's phone.
What happened next shocked the Introverted Girl completely. Just as they prepared for the photo, the young white man suddenly attacked, covering her mouth while his black roommate helped drag her into Room 701. Given her petite frame, she stood no chance against two tall foreigners—even one could easily overpower her. They tied her to a chair and gagged her, leaving her terrified and sobbing uncontrollably, especially after witnessing what happened to Wang Ju earlier.
Fortunately, she didn't suffer Wang Ju's fate, and Xiao Peng's group arrived just in time. However, upon seeing the mutilated, bloody corpses of her three friends who had been chainsawed to death, she had been barely holding herself together until now.
Her crying triggered emotional breakdowns among the others. After all, they were just college students who had never experienced such terrifying events—it felt like being hunted in a horror movie. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, with only Xiao Peng, Xiao Q, and Xiao Hua maintaining relative composure.
Though Xiao Hua didn't cry, she started cursing: "This is all Xiao Nuo's fault! If she hadn't lived in this damn place, if we hadn't come here to hang out, none of this would've happened! First Wang Ju's incident cost us two people, now this—several more are gone!!!"
Xiao Peng grew impatient with her complaints: "Enough! Always blaming Xiao Nuo—she's missing herself now! How can you still talk like this?" Xiao Hua fell silent but resented how Xiao Peng defended Xiao Nuo. After all, how long had Xiao Nuo even dated him compared to her? Secretly, she hoped Xiao Nuo would stay missing forever.
Returning to Xiao Nuo's apartment, they found the door locked but Xiao Peng had the key. The once lively living room now felt cold and empty, starkly contrasting their initial joyful gathering. After retrieving their belongings, none dared linger, fearing further incidents, and quickly left. They still had many matters to handle and cooperate with...
[The fourth lab rat Xiao Nuo has died. Total bets of 5.67 million have been transferred to the final prize pool.]
[Round 5: Four out of five lab rats have died, leaving only Jiang Ran remaining.]
[Total bets for Round 25 reached 134.95 million, all distributed according to shares among those who bet on Jiang Ran.]
[Three days remain in Round 25's seven-day period.]
After announcing these updates, the Long-haired Beauty disappeared from the live stream again, leaving viewers to discuss among themselves.
While Xiao Peng's group remained clueless about Xiao Nuo's mysterious disappearance, the live stream audience with their omniscient view knew exactly how she vanished and where she died. Witnessing her death scene, they could only comment: "Xiao Nuo was truly unlucky." Those who bet on her felt particularly bitter—had Jiang Ran been chainsawed to death, they would've won instead. Who could've predicted Jiang Ran's incredible combat skills?
Little Dragon Girl: [Diamond Bachelor Wang won big in the end! Of the 1.08 million bet on Jiang Ran, Brother Wang alone invested 580,000 yuan. That means out of the 130+ million, he gets over 7 million!!!!]
The payout wasn't divided equally but proportionally based on individual betting amounts. Thus Diamond Bachelor Wang profited enormously.
Many in the live stream fell silent, having initially believed Jiang Ran—a complete novice—would die first. Yet...
Domineering Female CEO: [Next time I'm following Brother Wang's bets!]
Fairy Sister: [Me too! I want to make money!!!]
I am the Hero: [Alright, Round 25's outcome is settled, payouts done. Now let's see if Jiang Ran can survive these last three days—or even make it to the next round.]
Middle-aged Uncle: [I think he'll reach the next round. This kid's too abnormal—don't you feel current Jiang Ran seems like a completely different person from before?]
Little Aunt: [Exactly! Especially his mannerisms and smile... Has anyone noticed Jiang Ran's been taking some kind of medicine lately? Is he sick? The organizers' profile didn't mention anything... Wait, holy shit! The organizers just updated Jiang Ran's info! He recently got prescribed medication for dissociative identity disorder? He's mentally ill?!]
