Bai Youwei bluntly shouted at the door: “It’s none of your business whether I want to stay here or not. Just wait outside for now!”

Su Man stared in disbelief, “You’re seriously not letting it in? The game can’t start if the Inspector doesn’t come in!”

“Did I say it couldn’t come in?” Bai Youwei rolled her eyes, “The question is, do you think now is the right time? What’s the point of letting it in? To start the game? Are you even prepared? You haven’t washed your face or brushed your teeth! What’s the rush?”

Su Man blushed at her words, biting her lower lip. She was furious but couldn’t argue back.

Bai Youwei curled her lips, saying: “I don’t care. I need to wash up first. I also need to drink water, eat something, go to the bathroom  I haven’t even combed my hair. I can’t let it in!”

“Qingwen,” Su Man said angrily, turning to Yan Qingwen.

Yan Qingwen glanced at Bai Youwei and said calmly, “Let’s do as she suggests. We indeed need to make some preparations before the game starts.”

Frustrated, Su Man stormed upstairs.

Zhu Shu thought for a moment and followed her up.

Mr. Cheng was the first to rush to the kitchen to make instant noodles, hoping everyone could fill their stomachs before the game started.

Everyone else scattered, some to freshen up, some to find handy weapons.

With the game not yet started and everyone knowing little about the content of the game, the preparations they could make were also limited, they could only do their best to adjust their conditions.

Everyone was busy, and they all ended up eating a thin noodle soup in the dining room, barely feeling “full”.

Throughout the whole process, the Inspector actually stayed outside the whole time, playing “Für Elise” over and over again.

The originally pleasant melody had turned into “noise” after countless repeats, it was terribly annoying, made people nauseous, and their ears almost calloused.

When everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and was fully prepared, Bai Youwei finally agreed to let the Inspector in.

A click was heard from the door.

No one needed to open the door as it opened by itself.

A music box with a circular top and square bottom appeared in front of everyone−

The main body of the music box was a square box with a white background and gold edges, decorated with a common rose pattern, and one side had a gold winding key.

A decorative crystal ball was on top of the square box. It was the kind of glass ball that would “snow” if you shook it.

“Why is it you guys?!” the music box suddenly raised its voice.

More precisely, it was the ball on top of the music box that was talking.

“I remember you! You stabbed my frog’s belly! You bad man!”

The voice of the crystal ball was agitated, paused for a second, then forcibly suppressed its emotions and said:

“But don’t worry, as the Inspector, I will preside over the game fairly and impartially, and will not take the opportunity to seek revenge, making it intentionally difficult for you~”

The ending tone of its words showed its schadenfreude nature.

Everyone looked at each other.

Shen Mo and Bai Youwei naturally recognized it; the childish voice, coupled with this spherical shape, how could they not be familiar?

Tan Xiao also recognized it, expressing his surprise: “So the Inspector can change shape? It’s not a golden ball this time!”

“I can be any ball!” the crystal ball said cheerfully and proudly, “Golden ball, silver ball, iron ball, wooden ball, fireball, ice ball, crystal ball~ any ball in the world!”

It floated into the room contentedly, landing on a cabinet by the wall. Its ball body was crystal clear, with fine snow swirling inside, making it look beautiful.

“Can you transform into a soccer ball?” Tan Xiao asked.

“Of course!”

“And a basketball?”

“As long as it’s a ball, it’s possible. The perfect sphere is the most perfect shape in the entire universe!” it said happily.

“So, as long as it’s a ball, you can transform into it? Um uh ” Tan Xiao pondered, “Can you transform into a football (rugby)?”

The crystal ball seemed insulted and yelled: “I keep saying that a perfect sphere is the most perfect shape in the universe! You are still talking about football (rugby)! Is football (rugby) round?!”
