The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"
Great premise with this one. I felt like I had been transported straight into a **** horror film. The hypothetical murders in a twisted party game start to come true in reality, tearing apart the lives of the four participants. Really enjoyable read with a great hook right from the prologue. Eager to see where this story goes and if any of the murders can be prevented. I'm wondering if there's a supernatural element at play or one of the participants is doing the killing. Either way, fantastic opening!
