When Shen Yan woke up, his companion's blood was still wet.
Deep in the bamboo grove, a tiger spoke: "You're finally here, Number 07."
His phone lit up by itself, displaying a System notification:
[Welcome to the Cage Game]
[Current Instance: Bamboo Cage Hunt]
[Clear Conditions: Survive until dawn and find the exit]
[Failure Penalty: Turned into a puppet, then the cycle resets]
Shen Yan thought this was his first time here. But the way those monsters looked at him made it seem as though they had already killed him countless times.
What unsettled him even more was Fu Xun.
The only person he could see always appeared when Shen Yan was about to die and said, "Don't panic. The more anxious you get, the stronger it becomes."
Shen Yan asked him, "Who are you, really?"
Fu Xun smiled but didn't answer. A string of numbers was carved into the back of his neck.
07.
Just like Shen Yan.
