Zhou Bai looked at the yellowed paper in front of him and frowned.
Although it is a ghost story world, it is still a bit outrageous for things to appear out of thin air like this.
Zhou Bai complained in his heart, and then continued to read down.
【Christmas Eve Survival Rules】
[1. On this Christmas Eve, only one person can survive. If necessary, please kill your guests and ensure that you can survive until the end. 】
[2. Please keep all your guests in the castle. No one can leave unless it is dawn. 】
[3. There are many secrets in the castle. You must not let your guests know. In particular, you must not let them enter the dungeon. 】
【4. Please prepare a gift for all friends who come to the party.】
【5. After the party starts, please lock the doors and windows. No matter who knocks on the door or the window, they cannot open it.】
【6. Please pick plum blossoms in the beautiful sea of flowers outside the castle and cook a bowl of plum blossom porridge for each of your guests.】
[7. 12 o'clock at midnight is a very important time. Please personally deliver the plum blossom porridge you have cooked to every guest at this time. 】
【8. Only money can help you resolve hatred.】
Zhou Bai frowned the whole time as he read these eight rules.
After reading these rules, Zhou Bai felt, why is he the villain?
I set up a game, invite my friends, and then kill them one by one.
The perverted murderer in the Christmas Eve castle, Zhou Bai?
Zhou Bai thought of this and quickly shook his head.
At this time, the system's voice sounded in Zhou Bai's mind.
[I realize that the host has obtained new rules, and now an incorrect option is marked for the host.]
[The second Christmas Eve survival rule, number 8, is wrong.]
Zhou Bai looked at the wrong rule.
【Only money can help you resolve hatred.】
He read the rule and sighed in disappointment.
This system marks a rule where errors are most easily seen.
The first Christmas Eve survival code, rule five.
[Distributing Christmas candies to your neighbors can resolve misunderstandings and hatred. Please be sure to prepare enough candies. Who knows, how many neighbors you have offended.]
That rule said that candy can resolve misunderstandings and hatred.
But the rule at hand now says that only money can resolve hatred. There is an obvious contradiction between the two rules.
So the answer is obvious.
Zhou Bai briefly analyzed this wrong rule, then couldn't help but shook his head again.
It seems that you can only judge whether the rules are true or false by yourself.
Zhou Bai looked at the rules in his hand again.
Then his eyes stopped on the sixth and seventh rules.
These two rules both mention plum blossom porridge.
The first Christmas Eve survival code, the third rule.
[On Christmas Eve, you need to bake your own Christmas cake instead of drinking plum porridge.]
This rule is in conflict with the two rules above.
Zhou Bai frowned and turned to look out the window.
The grass and graves outside the castle have been covered with a thin layer of snowflakes.
Such a desolate and strange place.
The rules actually say that there is a sea of flowers here?
Where is the sea of flowers?
Zhou Bai looked around the castle from the watchtower.
He was very sure that there was no sea of flowers near the castle, let alone plum blossoms.
Zhou Bai thought of this and looked down at the note in his hand.
I saw that the paper was old and yellowed.
There are still some signs of damage at the corners.
It feels like the rules on this piece of paper should have been written down a long time ago.
Zhou Bai brought the paper in his hand to his eyes, and then looked at it carefully.
But after looking for a long time, I didn't find anything unusual.
It wasn't until he turned the note over and looked at the back that he discovered something unusual.
I saw a small date written in the same handwriting at the bottom of the back of the note.
December 23, 2012.
In other words, this note was probably written ten years ago today.
As soon as this guess emerged, Zhou Bai felt a chill on his back.
Did someone know ten years ago that Zhou Bai would hold a Christmas Eve party ten years later?
Or is it that someone also held a party on Christmas Eve ten years ago?
Combined with the fact that there were no plum blossom trees outside the castle, Zhou Bai felt that the second guess was more likely.
This detail is not difficult to find.
As a result, the chosen ones in many countries also realized this problem.
Therefore, almost no one started to prepare plum blossom porridge.
What they focus on is how to survive among seven people.
Most of the chosen ones, after reading these rules, almost unanimously started to prepare their own weapons.
Some started sharpening knives, some made traps in the castle, and some planned to tamper with food.
Among these chosen ones, there are also those who cannot bear to kill.
They knelt on the ground in pain and kept praying to God.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in other live broadcast rooms.
When he came to Daxia Kingdom, Zhou Bai looked a little different.
The issue he was concerned about at this time was that it was mentioned in the rules that he needed to prepare a gift for each friend.
And he almost spent all the money.
There is absolutely no way to buy additional gifts for these six friends of mine.
When he thought of this, Zhou Bai paced back and forth in the study in distress.
Give each person a book?
There are many books in the study room.
Give each person a vase?
There are quite a lot of vases in the castle.
How about sending some metal products?
There is always the sound of metal clashing inside the castle. There should be quite a lot of this kind of thing.
Zhou Bai had various options in his mind, but he rejected them all.
It wasn't until he saw the more than a thousand Christmas candies that he had just bought in the morning and put in a transparent box that his eyes finally brightened.
This gift seems more appropriate.
Zhou Bai bought 1,240 candies, but he crushed one.
Assuming that he has 114 "neighbors" and each "neighbor" has 10 candies, then he has 99 more candies.
The quantity should be sufficient.
So Zhou Bai counted 60 Christmas candies in his transparent box containing candies.
Holding the candies in his hands, he looked at them and felt that it seemed a bit strange to give 10 candies to each person.
So, I looked for wrapping paper inside the castle again.
Finally, Zhou Bai took aim at the 20 gold foil papers hanging on the pine tree.
He brought a ladder over and took down 6 sheets from it.
I just managed to pack the 60 candies.
Zhou Bai looked at the six crumpled and crooked gifts and nodded with great satisfaction.
