{Simulation starts!!!}
{You clean and tidy the bathroom as fast as possible, then open the bathroom door. Your sister grins mischievously at you, while your parents watch you coldly.}
{Under their gaze, you gently pinch your sister's cheek like a doting brother and smile as you greet your parents.}
{Your sister insists on playing hide-and-seek, your father organizes clothes and has breakfast, and your mother tells you both to stop playing and hurry to eat and get ready for school.}
{Your mother enters the bathroom, complains about the rotten smell, and turns on the ventilation.}
{After hastily finishing breakfast, you and your sister ride to school in your father's car. You die!}
{Simulation End. Duration: 1 hour. Current Mental Value: 55!}
"Phew!"
Yang Fan exhaled heavily. Although he died again, at least he survived the initial phase.
Still, the cause of death remained a mystery.
He lacked information and understanding of the rules. The only way to survive was to gather more rules.
Unfortunately, there were no more clues in the bathroom.
Yang Fan estimated the timing.
In the Simulator, it took him about four minutes to clean the bathroom and open the door.
In the first simulation, the door was forced open at about the ten-minute mark.
"There's still time for one more simulation!"
Yang Fan immediately activated the Simulator again.
If he couldn't find new rules, he had to increase survival chances through trial and error.
{Simulation starts!!!}
{You clean the bathroom quickly and open the ventilation in advance. Then you open the bathroom door. Your sister grins mischievously at you. Your parents watch you coldly.}
{You pinch your sister's cheek gently and greet your parents with a smile.}
{Your sister insists on hide-and-seek, your father organizes his clothes and eats breakfast, your mother urges you to stop playing and eat quickly to prepare for school.}
{After breakfast, you and your sister ride to school in your mother's car. You die!}
{Simulation End. Duration: 1 hour. Current Mental Value: 40!}
"Even riding with mom doesn't work?"
Yang Fan frowned deeply.
He truly couldn't understand why he died.
And he couldn't think of how to change the outcome.
Should he stay home instead of going to school?
Knock knock knock!
"Brother, if you don't open the door now, I'm really going to break it!"
Just then, his sister pounded on the door again.
In the Simulator, it took about four minutes from this point until the door was forced open.
"No time!"
Yang Fan got up immediately, turned on the ventilation, and quickly tidied the bathroom.
Maybe because he had practiced multiple times in the Simulator, he finished cleaning in just three minutes and forty seconds.
Then he smoothly opened the door, pinched his sister's cheek, and greeted his parents.
Viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned.
"He's way too skilled at this???"
"?? I slowly type a question mark. May I ask, did Yang Fan graduate with a degree in housekeeping?"
"Guys, cleaning isn't the point. The real question is—there's one extra person. Isn't Yang Fan scared? He acts like everything's normal! Doesn't he realize there's someone extra? He even looks like he's at home!"
"I don't see acting school on his resume, but this performance deserves an Oscar!"
Countless Official Teams conducting research were also dumbfounded.
They were racking their brains trying to figure out who the extra person was.
But Yang Fan didn't even bother with that.
A moment later, the researchers realized—
Yang Fan's approach was absolutely correct.
With the current information, there was no way to accurately identify the extra person.
And the risk of guessing wrong was too high. A wrong guess meant failure—death!
So, the best strategy was to play along. Blend in. Stay alive. Gather more information. Then find a way to clear the stage!
Just then, alarms blared.
Staff monitoring other countries' Challengers began shouting reports.
"Dead!"
"H Country's Challenger died for not opening the door!"
"M Country's Challenger died for not cleaning the bathroom!"
Too fast!
Only ten minutes had passed, and already over forty Challengers were dead.
As each Challenger died, the Three-Member Family Rule Horror invaded their countries.
Chaos broke out in those nations.
Even M Country was overwhelmed.
It was happening way too fast—faster than anyone imagined.
Nearly broke the record for the quickest elimination.
"Can we determine how those Challengers died?"
A senior official snapped out of shock and asked sternly.
"We can't."
"The Challengers suddenly showed signs of mental disorientation, as if trapped in an Illusory World. Then they harmed or killed themselves in various ways!"
"We can't identify the exact cause of death."
Researchers shook their heads helplessly.
"As expected. Keep monitoring!"
The official nodded.
This wasn't the first time.
Some Rule Horror revealed clues about breaking them through how the Challenger died.
Though Challengers themselves couldn't see these patterns, the public might glean some survival strategies from them.
Meanwhile, in H Country—
Seeing their Challenger die so suddenly left everyone stunned.
Too fast, no time to react, and no useful clues.
And before they could finish cursing, the Three-Member Family Rule Horror invaded H Country.
Their already limited living space got even smaller.
Chaos erupted. Death and injury everywhere.
The official felt his scalp go numb. But the crisis left no time for panic.
He forced down his frustration and immediately ordered the Researchers to compile methods from surviving Challengers and share them with the public ASAP.
A Researcher instinctively clicked into M Country's Challenger Live Stream Room. But moments later, that Challenger also died mysteriously, and the stream went dark.
"Damn it!!!!"
The Researcher was stunned. M Country's Challenger had died just as mysteriously and quickly.
"L Country's Challenger has survived the start. We can learn from him."
Another Researcher quickly compiled footage of Yang Fan's actions and prepared to release it.
"No time! Release it now!"
The official barked with a dark expression.
The Challenger from M Country was dead, leaving them no choice but to learn from L Country.
They hated it, but reality didn't allow for pride.
A similar scene played out in M Country. Even more frustrated, even more unwilling to learn from L Country's Challenger.
But the brutal reality left no room for defiance!
