Chapter 1 The Start

Shen Wei looked back and was almost scared out of his wits. Behind him were a woman in white, holding a sharp knife, her face a bloody mess of cuts, and a terrifying man with only half a body, crawling rapidly on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.

These two were the couple from the wedding photo on the bedroom wall! They were chasing Shen Wei frantically!

Shen Wei exchanged blows with these two terrifying ghosts several times, but he couldn't inflict any effective damage on them. Forced into a desperate situation, Shen Wei had no choice but to hide in a room and lock the door.

Before Shen Wei could catch his breath, a shrill scream suddenly came from behind him. He was almost scared into cardiac arrest, and he turned around tremblingly, only to find it was a false alarm.

Behind Shen Wei was a player for VHS tapes. At this moment, it was playing a horror movie, and the terrifying ghost in it was chasing the female lead. The scream just now was from her.

Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground, panting heavily. Clearly, the mental strain from earlier had taken a great toll on him.

Seeing Shen Wei in this state, the Evil God Right Hand said with a hint of disdain, "Are you alright? You're so weak for such a young age! Sigh, I've told you before, a little *lu* is a delight, too much *lu* harms the body, excessive *lu* leads to annihilation..."

"Please don't drive when you're already sailing..."

Just as Shen Wei and his Evil God Right Hand were arguing fiercely, he noticed the content being played on the tape. The female lead in the movie was very beautiful and had a great figure, but these weren't what caught Shen Wei's attention. The only thing that caught his eye was the low-cut wedding dress!

"Right-san, look at the wedding dress worn by the female lead in the movie..."

Before Shen Wei could finish speaking, the Evil God Right Hand said lecherously:

"That wedding dress is so big and white, it's so authentic, oh my god, the surging waves, happiness, so much happiness..."

"What happiness are you finding here? Be serious for once! I want you to see if that wedding dress looks like the one worn by the wife in the bedroom we were in earlier..."

Shen Wei raised his Evil God Right Hand and slapped it wildly.

"Now that you mention it, it really does look like it. When that guy was chasing us with a knife earlier, I didn't recognize her at all because her face was slashed. I didn't expect her to be quite good-looking, hehehe..."

"Right-san, I often feel out of place because I'm not perverted enough..."

"Okay, you're amazing, you're so noble, alright?"

Shen Wei ignored the Evil God Right Hand and started watching the content of the tape.

The beautiful woman in the wedding dress seemed to be the mistress of this villa. At this moment, she was being chased frantically by a dark figure. The mistress ran into the warehouse outside in a panic. She locked the door and hid with a chainsaw. The terrifying black shadow approached little by little, and the lock on the warehouse door was being fiddled with bit by bit.

Just then, the film stopped abruptly, and the sound of banging outside the door also disappeared.

Shen Wei found it strange. He opened the curtains of the video room and looked out at the courtyard of the villa. It was very quiet, and everything was normal. The terrifying corpse that had been bloated into a giant form was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Wei closed the curtains again and then walked to the video recorder. He opened the recorder and took out the tape.

This was an ordinary black tape, nothing unusual. A piece of white paper was taped to it with adhesive tape. The Arabic numeral 1 was written on the white paper.

Shen Wei carefully observed the tape and then carefully removed the tape and took out the white paper.

Sure enough, there was more to it on the back of the white paper, which was filled with rules.

Welcome, chosen ones, to the Eternal House. If you want to return to the real world alive, please abide by the following rules:

Rule 1: The video room is absolutely safe. Do not open the door no matter who calls you.

Rule 2: The owners of this house are very hospitable! All visiting friends will receive a warm welcome from them.

Rule 3: If you don't want to get lost here, don't leave this villa easily!

Rule 4: There is a way to leave here in the video tape. Find it and leave as soon as possible, or you will be responsible for the consequences.

Rule 5: Do not believe the content on the tape. It's a scam. This is all a scam.

Rule 6: Your neighbor is friendly and warm. You can completely trust him.

Rule 7: Always remind yourself that there is only one of you in this world. If you see someone who looks exactly like you, you must kill him.

Rule 8: If you find that the house in front of you and the streets outside have changed drastically, please return to the projection room immediately.

Rule 9: To relieve loneliness, you can invite your companions to this villa, but be sure to make sure that it is your companion and not something else.

Rule 10: Never damage the villa, or you may never be able to leave here.

Rule 11: Do not go near the swimming pool and garden, the "owner" will be angry.

Shen Wei looked at the mountain of tapes in front of him and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he put the tape into the Strange Ring, and then searched through the large number of tapes again.

In the pile of tapes, Shen Wei found another black tape with the Arabic numeral 2 on it. To his disappointment, there were no rules on the back of the tape label.

Shen Wei picked up other tapes and looked at them, and found that the other tapes had not been numbered by anyone. Moreover, he found a lot of messy footprints on the ground, at least two or three people had been to this projection room. One footprint was very large and wide, definitely from a tall person.

Shen Wei did not play the tape again, but quietly opened a crack in the door of the projection room. The woman with the slashed face and the man with half a body who had been chasing Shen Wei had long since disappeared.

"According to the hints in the rules, I have a feeling that there should be other clues outside this villa..."

Thinking of this, Shen Wei quietly slipped out. To his surprise, he didn't encounter any danger all the way out of the villa.

Shen Wei bypassed the pool, stayed away from the garden, and walked straight to the large iron gate of the villa. Shen Wei originally thought that the iron gate could not be opened, but to his surprise, the gate was not locked at all.

It was so easy to walk out of the villa's range, so easy that Shen Wei felt unbelievable. But the scene after he came out shocked him greatly.

Shen Wei looked around and saw houses that were exactly the same as the villa he was in, as if they were copied and pasted, continuing all the way to the horizon.

"What's going on? Why are there so many identical houses? Could it be that the villas here are free? Or are the people here all billionaires?"
