Chapter 44 The Unexpected Cellphone

"Family members, what should I do?"

Lu Xian looked conflicted.

Previously, two supernatural rules were known:

1. Do not linger on the old stairs for a long time at night.

2. Do not stay overnight at a stranger's house.

Now, two more have been added.

And they are even more bizarre and eerie.

One is that if you hear the doorknob turning and making noise while sleeping at night, you must get up and stand behind the door to stare through the peephole.

Another is that if there is a sound of eating under the bed, do not look down to check.

It's not that he's particularly afraid.

It's just a bit difficult.

In a space governed by supernatural rules, one must follow the rules.

He has watched quite a few of these survival livestreams, so he understands this.

Otherwise, with his 30-point stamina boost, equivalent to three thousand jin of force,

he could crush a table or a bed here with one hand.

Seeing the newly appeared supernatural rules,

some people in the livestream room were startled.

Others were still just watching the fun, unbothered by the stakes.

They happily sent bullet comments:

[Simple, Brother Lu, just have a meal and chat with the woman outside, then she won't be a stranger anymore.]

[Hahaha, that makes sense, then you can stay overnight?]

[666. Come to think of it, for the rule about the doorknob making noise, can't you just move the bed to block it? Or a wardrobe? That way, it can't be pushed open from the outside.]

[Damn, it's supernatural 'magic damage', brothers, and you're suggesting physical resistance?]

[In my opinion, just dismantle the door, hehe.]

[I thought of one too, have Brother Lu lie under the bed beforehand, so he doesn't have to look down.]

[Walk the path of the supernatural and leave the supernatural nowhere to go? That's a unique way of thinking, brother, brilliant!]

[Better to set a few mousetraps under the bed, heh heh/sinister~]

[Stand the bed up tonight, then there will be no under-the-bed, hahaha~]

"You guys are really a bunch of... talents!"

Watching the bullet comments happily discussing methods to crack the rules,

Lu Xian was somewhat amused and helpless.

In reality,

the 'suggestions' from the audience,

actually have a high probability of being feasible.

Lu Xian had seen this before in other survival livestreams.

For example, there was a Survival Challenger surviving in a horror supernatural world, about to be attacked by a door-knocking ghost.

Then that guy had some bizarre idea.

He just dismantled the door!

The door-knocking ghost lost its medium.

Allowing him to dodge a supernatural attack.

After that, quite a few Survival Challengers followed suit.

And what was unexpected was that many methods that looked ridiculous,

were actually feasible!

[Brother Lu, why not put it into practice tonight?]

Seeing quite a few bullet comments encouraging him to try it,

Lu Xian gave a dry laugh, "We'll see."

He didn't refuse.

Lu Xian then opened his suitcase.

Inside were three or four sets of clothes to change into.

Two books, a pair of headphones, a data cable, a power bank, and a mobile phone.

When Lu Xian saw this mobile phone,

his expression was very colorful.

He picked up the phone and pressed the power button.

As a result, the phone lit up immediately!

Lu Xian was stunned again.

He said somewhat hesitantly:

"Brothers, perhaps we... can we use this phone..."

"To find the call history."

"And then find Lu Simin's number, and call to ask where she is??"

[Emm, be more confident in your tone, remove the 'perhaps' and 'can we'.]

[6666~]

The people in the livestream room were also dumbfounded.

They never expected such a scene to happen!

There was actually a mobile phone!

[Damn, since you have a phone, why didn't you take it out earlier?]

[Leaving us here to be suspicious...]

[Turns out we were the clowns.]

"Given the situation just now, I didn't have time to open the suitcase."

Lu Xian shrugged and said innocently.

After the phone turned on,

there was a fingerprint lock screen.

He tried pressing it with his thumb.

It unlocked.

"How thoughtful? I thought it would take some effort to unlock."

Lu Xian was very surprised.

He didn't expect that his fingerprint could also unlock it.

However, this also fit the 'persona' of his current survival challenge.

D-level difficulty is not that complex.

Soon he flipped to the phone's call logs:

Lu Simin, 13XXXX, last call at 18:01, outgoing 38 seconds.

Dad, 18XXXX, last call at 13:09, incoming...

Lu Xian hadn't even had time to look further.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

The woman suddenly opened the door.

Sticking her head in, with a strange smile on her face:

"Little Lu, dinner is ready, come out and eat."

She watched Lu Xian tidying up his clothes.

Just now,

Lu Xian, upon hearing the knock, instinctively hid the phone.

So the scene she saw was him pretending to tidy up his clothes.

Lu Xian nodded and smiled:

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Remember to come out, tonight's meal is very fragrant."

After saying this,

The woman had no intention of closing the door; instead, she stared at him intently.

The scene was indescribably strange.

"Okay, I'll come out once I've finished packing."

Seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Lu Xian had to nod, going along with her wishes.

"Mm-hmm."

Only then did the woman look happy, and she carefully closed the door for Lu Xian.

After waiting a few seconds,

Lu Xian spoke in a very low voice to the audience in the livestream room:

"This is not good, Family members."

"I remember I locked this door from the inside just now!"

If it's locked from the inside, it shouldn't be able to be opened directly from the outside!

Yet, there was no unlocking sound from this woman, it was as if she just turned the doorknob.

Without a sound, the door opened!

This means that the internal lock is ineffective.

If it were at night and the doorknob suddenly moved...

At this moment, the livestream room exploded:

[Brother Lu, Brother Lu, I found a big loophole here!]

[Yes, yes, yes, I just noticed it too!]

[Find Lu Simin, the phone in your hand is the key to breaking the situation!]

[That's right, you have a phone and you've contacted Lu Simin before. As long as you make the call, theoretically, you will know whether Lu Simin is male or female.]

[Exactly, the key is that this strange woman is definitely not Lu Simin herself. Why does she still know your information? It means she knows Lu Simin!]

[Uh, what if that woman answers the phone number? Wouldn't that be awkward?]

[Then what about the doctors notes in the room just now? There was Lu Simin's business card there.]

[The notes are unclear. But business cards can be gifted; it doesn't necessarily mean she is here, nor does it prove she is the one Brother Lu is looking for.]

[Damn, I thought Lu Simin was killed by this woman and her body was hidden in that room. After hearing you guys, I feel like I guessed wrong.]

But if she knows the situation, why would she boldly impersonate her?

Currently, there is only one explanation.

This is [Madman Street].

Many things cannot be viewed with common sense.

For example, this woman who claims to be 'Lu Simin' came home at nine o'clock at night carrying a basket containing a 'pig's head'.

Are there still pig heads for sale at the vegetable market at this hour?

Besides, pig brains are usually bought directly; why would one need to bring back a whole pig's head to crack it open themselves?

The key is that Lu Xian just arrived, and he lacks many information clues; he needs to explore and discover them himself.

So, in the previous situation, when he first encountered the supernatural rule reminder,

he could only follow in half-doubt.

Now, as Lu Xian explores in secret, he finds that the main quest [Find Lu Simin] seems not so simple,

on the contrary, there are more and more suspicious points.

But the truth also seems to be getting closer and closer.
