Chapter 32: Close your eyes
On August 20th, in the north of Fucheng, there was an abandoned script killing shop.
There was a round table, five wooden chairs, and five people sitting together, surrounded by darkness.
[Ghost Story: Close your eyes].
The five recruited players are Xingqiu, Qianli, Lemonade with Ice, Horsehead with Sword, and Grass and Sunset.
The five people met in the north of the city. After finding the store according to the location indicated by the game, they lost consciousness as soon as they entered the door.
Horsehead with Sword was the first to wake up. He had been extremely unlucky since he was a child. Until he was selected by this game, his luck gradually improved. So far, he has played the game three times and escaped death every time.
This is a challenge mode, and all five of them know it well, which means that this strange story called "Close Your Eyes" has caused the player group to be wiped out before.
This is a real horror game.
Looking around, the horse-headed sword found that the other people were in the same situation as him. They were fixed on a wooden chair. Each of the five people was two meters apart, surrounding a small black round table.
.
As for this place, it is indeed an abandoned script killing shop, which may have been closed due to poor management. The floor is paved with black and white tiles, and the paintings on the wall and the decoration of the entire room are also full of imagination.
To put it simply, it is a weird decoration that ordinary families would never choose.
【Close your eyes, the game begins.】
As this sentence appeared, five additional people strangely appeared in the gap between the five people, separating the players two by two.
【The rules of the game are as follows.】
[Seats are numbered one to ten.]
[Among the ten people present, there is an evil ghost. Each player takes turns to speak in each round and tell one piece of information about themselves. They are not allowed to lie. 】
[From the ten people who spoke, determine who is the evil ghost, and choose one person to vote.]
[After voting is completed, enter the eye-closing session.]
[The one with the most votes is elected as the ghost.]
[Li Gui verifies that if the vote is correct, the game ends and the player wins. 】
[If the vote is wrong, the person with the most votes will die, and an additional person will be executed by the ghost.]
The rules are not complicated and can be said to be clear at a glance. However, after a real experience, everyone's mind goes blank.
This is simply not a depressing atmosphere that humans can endure.
The five players cannot communicate at all except during the speech phase, and even if it is their turn to speak, they can only say one true piece of information about themselves.
This results in a complete inability to communicate various ideas and findings. Everyone is guessing, not only who is the ghost, but also who the other player will vote for?
Moreover, among the players present, only five of them were players from the outside world. Strictly speaking, the other five "people" who suddenly appeared between them were all ghosts!
Among the five people, the calmest one is Qianli and Fangcao Xianyang.
As old players, both of them exchanged disposable props for self-defense for this extremely difficult challenge.
The eyes of Fangcao Xianyang glanced at the "strangers" who appeared around them. These "people" who suddenly appeared could not see their faces clearly at all, as if they were not important and were just there to make up the numbers.
Could it be said that the real evil ghost is among the original five real players?
Fangcao Xianyang looked at the other four people, yes... it's possible. This kind of thing has happened before. This damn game arranged for evil ghosts to sneak into the players during the gathering stage, and eventually the group was wiped out.
Wait, if that’s the case, can you confirm who you know first?
The idea came to everyone.
Fangcao Xianyang and Qianli have cooperated before, which is also related to the fact that they are old players. When Fangcao Xianyang looked towards Qianli, he found that Qianli was also looking at him.
With a subtle nod, the two confirmed their cooperation.
Yes...this game is about teamwork.
Although you cannot communicate with words, you can use your eyes and subtle body movements to give hints.
The top priority is to gather the votes and ensure that you are not voted out.
On the other side, Ma Tou Dai Jian and Xing Qiu also knew each other. The two had experienced a ghost story game together. Although they went their separate ways and didn't see each other much during the whole process, they did meet during the assembly period.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became strange.
Fragrant grass, setting sun, thousands of miles, horse head with sword, walking in autumn, the eyes of these four people all fell on the only player who was unknown to everyone.
Lemonade with ice.
Is this person really a player?
Lemonade and Ice did not expect this to happen. She had played the Kaitan game three times, and this was the fourth time. Unexpectedly, she would encounter the challenge mode on the fourth time, which made her particularly panicked.
Moreover, the players this time are all people I have never met before.
Coupled with this strange pattern, she instantly realized something was wrong.
She shook her head slightly, almost crying, but everyone remained unmoved.
Judging from the current situation, everyone knows each other in pairs, except for Lemonade and Ice, no one has seen her.
However, everyone has indeed seen this name in the game collection, at least... this name is real, but it is not certain whether it is her.
The first round of description begins.
"My name is Ma Junzhe." Horsehead said with a sword.
One sentence per person, description of true information about oneself, the first round is very simple.
"My name is Xu Qianxing." Qianli said.
"My name is Du Bi'an." Xingqiu continued.
"My name is Xu Tingfang." Fangcao Xianyang also followed everyone's introduction.
Lemonade with ice seemed to have realized her fate. She was crying, shaking her head slightly and said: "My... my name is Yang Yiyi."
When everyone saw her like this, they were more or less unbearable.
Yang Yiyi looks like a college student. There is nothing strange about her expression or words.
But...she is indeed the most suspicious of all the people at the moment.
If you want to vote for the "five people" added to this game, you will inevitably face the risk of dispersed voting, because these five "system people" can't even see their faces clearly. Who should you vote for?
After the round, a mysterious voice suddenly appeared!
【Please confirm your voting seats.】
Picking up the sign and marker on the table in front of her, Yang Yiyi...the seat for lemonade with ice is number nine.
sorry……
The four people wrote nine in unison.
【Li Gui confirms, close your eyes.】
The sound this time was particularly terrifying, giving everyone goosebumps on their arms.
The cold air flowed behind him, as if something was coming...
They didn't dare to neglect and quickly closed their eyes!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Until the tenth second!
Ma Junzhe suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and then a large amount of warm liquid sprayed onto his face. The smell was... blood?!
[Verification ended, voting failed.]
【The game continues.】
The room suddenly lit up, and Ma Junzhe looked straight across. A young girl's head was placed in front of seat nine.
Yang Yiyi's headless body was still sitting upright on the chair, and blood was still pouring out from the severed head.
In addition to her, one of the "system players" beside her also died, but no body was left behind, and he simply disappeared.
Ma Junzhe, Xu Xiangqian, Du Bi'an, and Xu Tingfang were all feeling cold.
Not her...not Yang Yiyi!
The real ghost is still among them.
The game continues...

Xianyang Village.
He Jian and Qin Manjiang met up and ran towards the central square of the village.
"Red humanoid pendant?" Zhong Xueran heard He Jian's description.
She understood what was happening almost immediately.
"I don't blame you, it's a lack of information. It's a one-time prop, it's called [Evil Pendant], it can be used immediately after the game is assembled, and its function is to share the same body and soul with the key figures in the next Kaitan game.
For a period of time, the evil descendant shared everything with the other party while sharing the same body and soul. It can be simply understood as possession. This is a very useful tool for obtaining information. I think he wants to possess 'Chen Ping'.
Obtain key information." Zhong Xueran was also a little surprised, "However, his luck was really bad. During the period of possession, Chen Ping was actually killed and made into a new fairy sheep after Li Rong."
"When the time limit for using the Evil Fall Pendant expires, his soul returns to his body. In fact, at that time, he is already dead. He has no idea whether he is Chen Ping or someone else, or even that he is dead."
"Until he suddenly discovered the fact that he was dead in the ancestral hall."
I see……
Everyone was stunned.
But I heard Qin Manjiang say in a low voice:
"There are three..."
Chapter completed!
