As Riyana spoke, she had already taken out the so-called sandwich, packed in a transparent sealed bag.
But actually, this kind of sandwich was just two slices of bread with a thin slice of ham and a slice of yellow egg in between. It was a kind of cheap bread sold by weight, not expensive, and even small shops sold it.
This thing couldn't be called tasty, but it wasn't bad either. When you were occasionally hungry, it was a good choice.
"Where did you get the sandwich?", Ethan asked back.
Riyana smiled and said, "I naturally bought it on the way when I went looking for you. Here, half for each of us."
As she spoke, Riyana simply and neatly tore open the packaging bag.
But for some reason, the moment Riyana tore open the wrapping paper, Ethan actually smelled a very fragrant sandwich smell, as if this sandwich were a delicacy freshly made by Subway.
It made Ethan, who had been hungry for an entire day, unable to stop himself from swallowing.
"Smells good, right?", Riyana tore off one half, while handing the other half, still with the wrapping paper around it, to Ethan, "It's definitely impossible to get full from it, but it can still fill your stomach a little."
"Then thanks!"
Ethan took the "fragrant" sandwich Riyana handed him, but just as Riyana opened her mouth to bite the sandwich in her hand, Ethan saw what seemed to be a faint red light flash past at her throat.
'Did I see it wrong?'
But when Ethan looked more carefully, there was no more red light at Riyana's throat.
After finishing the sandwich.
Ethan felt sleepiness coming over him. He was too lazy to even wash his hands. He only clapped his hands and then lay down on the soft bed.
Riyana softly called out, "Bro?"
Then she discovered that Ethan had no reaction. The left corner of her mouth even curved into a faint smile. Only then did she lie down on the other side of the bed, her hand touching Ethan as she fell asleep.
And because she seemed somewhat afraid of the darkness, Riyana even deliberately hugged one of Ethan's arms against her chest before she fell into a deep sleep.
Bzz~
Bzz~ Bzz~
Midnight, in his hazy state, Ethan suddenly heard a sound resembling an iron drill drilling through a wall.
Actually, he hadn't dared to sleep at all the entire night, but he also didn't dare open his eyes, for fear that Riyana would discover him!
After all, he didn't think that Riyana had really given him the sandwich with good intentions.
As for those sandwiches… Ethan had already spat them into his clothes while Riyana wasn't paying attention.
Then, after lying down on the bed, Ethan even moved those sandwich crumbs behind himself and pressed down on them, so that Riyana wouldn't discover that he hadn't eaten the sandwich.
No matter what, he definitely couldn't sleep tonight.
According to the record of Clue 1, "'I' often heard the sound of drilling through the wall in the middle of the night."
So Ethan guessed that something would definitely happen in the middle of the night. Sure enough, when everyone was sleeping the deepest, at two-thirty in the morning, the sound of drilling through the wall appeared again.
Moreover, the sound of drilling through the wall happened right beside Ethan's ear.
"Phew~"
Ethan turned his head and looked at Riyana, who was sleeping beside him. She was sleeping very soundly.
He gently sat up, then climbed down from the foot of the bed. Only then did he push Riyana over to the wall, with her head facing exactly the place where the drilling sound was coming from.
Tonight, no matter what these things were up to, Ethan had to get to the bottom of it.
Snap!
About a minute later.
A faint sound of bricks and stones cracking suddenly came from the wall. Then Ethan saw quite a bit of wall dust and small stones falling from the wall. Right after that, a curved drill bit pierced through the wall and entered Ethan's room.
The curved drill bit looked like a large bottle opener used to open red wine bottles.
Ethan stared at the drill bit as it slowly penetrated forward.
At this moment, the tip of the drill bit was only about half a centimeter away from Riyana's temple.
But Ethan still remained completely motionless. He wanted to know whether Riyana was pretending, or whether she was really asleep.
Or rather…
He wanted to know whether Riyana was the true BOSS of this game.
Pfft!
The drill bit finally pierced into Riyana's left temple in the next moment.
A drop of blood flowed down along the spiral groove of the drill bit.
But strangely…
Not to mention screaming, Riyana didn't even wake up.
And Ethan also didn't stop the drill bit from continuing its attack. In any case, the people in this world would reset after dying.
Besides… Even if they didn't reset, so what?
Once he left this world, the people here would disappear along with it.
Holding this thought, Ethan simply watched with his own eyes as the drill bit slowly drilled into Riyana's brain, until the drill bit came out through Riyana's right temple.
The tip of the drill bit was covered in blood and some kind of strange viscous liquid under the moonlight.
Click!
The drill bit seemed to have reached the end.
The person on the other side of the wall began slowly pulling the drill bit back, until the instant the drill bit disappeared, Ethan saw a hole the size of an eye in the wall.
Perhaps the drill bit had been pushed too hard, while the plaster of the wall was too loose, causing a hole to be made.
It was also possible…
That this wall had already been drilled through too many times, so it had long since become full of holes.
There was no need to think about what would be on the other side of this hole.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ethan pushed Riyana's head aside with one hand, then thrust the sharpened wooden sword (mop handle) in his hand toward the small hole.
"Draw Sword Style!"
Pfft!
The sound of a water balloon bursting rang out, and immediately afterward, screams came from outside the bedroom door.
"Ahhhhh!"
