Without having a chance to wash up, Shen Mo got up hastily and went downstairs, bumping into Su Man, Zhu Shu, Pan Xiaoxin, and Chang Weicai at the front door who had also heard the music.

“What’s making that noise?”

“Not sure, it seems to be coming from downstairs.”

They quickly exchanged a few words and went downstairs together, where they saw Yan Qingwen, Lun Ang, and Li Li. All three were leaning against tables or lying against the wall, having just been roused from sleep.

Shen Mo was bewildered.

These three were the ones who kept watch during the last night shift, but looking at them now, had all of them fallen asleep?!

People coming out of special forces shouldn’t have such a lack of alertness! The only answer was that there was some force at play, causing these three people to fall into an unconscious sleep!

Just like he had last night!

On thinking about this, he felt tense.

This situation was awful. In such a large room, with ten people, not one person was awake. This was too alarming!

Yan Qingwen’s face also wore a look of disbelief, evidently also realizing his unusual behavior.

“What’s going on?” He looked around the room, glancing towards the front door in response to the sound, questioning, “What noise is that?”

The music seemed to come from outside the door.

“We don’t know. We just heard it.” Zhu Shu stopped on the stairs, looking uncertainly at the door, “The sound isn’t loud but I don’t know why  Su Man and I were awoken by this music almost simultaneously.”

Lun Ang frowned, “Why did music suddenly start playing? Where did it come from?”

He walked to the window, trying to peer through it to see if there was anything at the front door. However, within his limited field of view, he didn’t find any suspicious persons or items.

Everyone looked at each other in shocked disbelief.

The music was beautiful and captivating, lively and soothing, a common tune called “Für Elise” played frequently in music boxes. Yet, in the current situation, it sounded out of place, hauntingly eerie like some requiem.

Yan Qingwen was pondering over who should be assigned to open the door.

Shen Mo thought of Bai Youwei who was alone in the bedroom, and unable to set his mind at ease, returned to carry her out and set her on the wheelchair near the stairs.

Bai Youwei was never in a good mood when she woke up early.

She glanced at everyone, asking with annoyance, “What are you all standing around for? Open the door.”

Lun Ang thought for a moment and, leveraging his tall and robust stature, went to open the door with confidence.

Yan Qingwen stopped him halfway.

Yan Qingwen handed Lun Ang a piece of firewood to serve as a weapon for self-defense.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath and quieted down, their faces tense as all eyes turned to the door.

Lun Ang gripped the rough piece of firewood in his hand, stared at the door, and began advancing slowly.

Slowly

Steadily

Closer and closer

The music was still playing.

Just as he gathered his nerves to reach for the door handle, Bai Youwei lost patience and snapped, “It’s so freaking noisy, who’s that outside!”

Lun Ang staggered!

And just then, the music stopped!

A childish yet familiar voice echoed from outside the door—

“Aha~ Hello everyone! I am the game inspector for this round. It seems that you’ve all got up, may I come in now?”

Everyone:

What the heck was happening! They could even knock the door???

And they even responded to the knock!!!

Bai Youwei rolled her eyes, “Can’t you come in by yourself? Do we need to invite you in?”

The voice outside didn’t show any signs of rush or frustration and seemed to chuckle:

“Hey hey~ Because of the peculiarities of this game, without the permission of the doll house owner, no one can enter, even if I’m the inspector~”

Bai Youwei: “Huh, then stay outside forever.”

“That’s not good either, if I don’t come in, the game can’t start, if it doesn’t start, it can’t end, if the game doesn’t end, you can’t get out Do you want to stay in the doll house forever?”
