“Okay, let’s play the game first.” Mu Shan said, “They charge by the hour, let’s play Werewolf.”
When they were in college, many people in the class played Werewolf together, and now they all nodded and took a seat. Because there weren’t enough of them, a few strangers were thrown into the fight.
Werewolf was a speaking game similar to the police game. Players determined their identity by drawing cards and were divided into two camps: good guys and werewolves. Then they fought against each other, the werewolves needed to kill the good guys, and the good guys needed to find all the werewolves and throw them out.
Since none of them were novices, Mu Shan and the staff asked about it and decided to play a more complicated template, “Let’s play a board with a third-party camp… How about this “Ghost Bride”?”
It meant adding a new identity card, the person who drew the ghost bride card could choose two players, one to be his groom and one to be the witness. The three players must kill all the good guys and werewolves together to win.
Others were discussing whether to play this or not, as having one more faction would definitely increase the difficulty of the game. In particular, the ghost bride’s selection of identities was superimposed. She could choose a werewolf as her groom, or a good person as her groom, which meant there may be traitors in other camps.
Xie Lingya couldn’t help but take another look at Le Tong, who was sitting opposite him.
Like him, Le Tong did not participate in the discussion. Instead, she kept looking around the lively crowd. She seemed to notice his eyes and looked over sideways. She even opened her lips and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes at all. Instead, she seemed very stiff.
Xie Lingya felt a chill in his heart, no, this was definitely not right.
Before Xie Lingya could think of anything, Mu Shan shouted: “Come on, come on, let’s start, let’s play this.”
The players sat down, and the judge presiding over the game also took his place, distributed the cards, and announced the start of the game, “It’s dark, please “Close your eyes.”
In the virtual night of the game, it was when other people closed their eyes that the function cards opened their eyes to exercise their abilities, such as the werewolf killing, or the ghost bride appointing her groom and witness.
Before nightfall, Xie Lingya read it. His card was an ordinary villager, a good person, but it had no function. He could only speak and vote during the day, so he kept his eyes closed at night.
Unless of course…he was chosen by the Ghost Bride.
“Ghost Bride, please open your eyes.”
After the judge finished speaking, Xie Lingya felt a cold gaze wandering around the room, as if choosing his prey. He resisted the strong urge to take off his blindfold and escape from the darkness.
“Ghost Bride, please choose your groom.”
After the judge walked around in a circle, Xie Lingya felt her walking behind him and patting him which meant that the Ghost Bride had chosen him as the groom.
Xie Lingya took off his blindfold and got used to the light. Everyone else was wearing blindfolds, but Le Tong looked over with big eyes. She was the Ghost Bride.
What a coincidence.
Xie Lingya stared at her, but the judge had already woken up the witness. The witness was a strange player. He gestured to show that he was a werewolf, and also showed the identity numbers of his werewolf teammates. He wanted to know Xie Lingya’s identity, so that the three of them could discuss tactics together.
Xie Lingya looked at Le Tong, and Le Tong looked directly at him blankly. Both of them ignored the witness.
Witness: “???”
The player couldn’t speak at night, otherwise his identity would be exposed if others heard him. He was so anxious that he cursed these two people in his mind for being crazy and disrespecting the game.
In the end, the witness did not get any information. He only knew who his teammates were, and the communication time was over.
Xie Lingya had always been concerned about Le Tong’s performance. During the “daytime”, when the players spoke one by one, he was absent-minded and didn’t care about the game situation at all. He kept staring at Le Tong, and his identity was soon discovered.
Mu Shan touched her chin and said: “Xie Lingya’s performance… is very much like an identity card. He is still staring at Le Tong. I say you two are not a couple, right? Since I don’t know who to vote out in this round, I suggest the people who appear to be lovers. After all, the game can be lost, but the lovers must die.”
Everyone: “…”
Everyone thought, well, you are the one who wants to play the third party, and you are the one who wants to be a couple. What are your demands?
After several players spoke, they all agreed that these two people were in a bad state, and there would be no problem in choosing one of them. In the end, out of concern for the lady, Xie Lingya was voted out first.
“I am the groom.” Xie Lingya made his “last words” and admitted his identity without expression. “It was Le Tong who married me. She is the ghost bride. I asked the werewolf brother to chop her down and let her accompany me. You can observe if any werewolf disagrees with killing Le Tong, he will be our witness.”
The witness who was suddenly betrayed said: “…”
He wanted to snap at the crime and shout, you two are playing ball!
….
Xie Lingya was out and stood aside to watch the game. At this time, the game entered the dark night again, and everyone closed their eyes.
Le Tong also put on the blindfold and sat upright.
The werewolves opened their eyes, discussed killing, and actually proposed killing Le Tong. The werewolf who was selected as the witness was furious, but he could only agree to kill Le Tong.
At dawn, death was announced and Le Tong was eliminated. She took off her blindfold and showed no emotion at all about being out. She even stood up, smiled at Xie Lingya, and said softly: “I’m going to get some air, husband, are you coming?”
Xie Lingya stood where he was, looking at him coldly.
Everyone laughed, because it was the entertainment bureau, and they didn’t care that he was out and announced his identity, “Le Tong, you are really a ghost bride, okay, let your ‘husband’ accompany you.”
In the game just now, Le Tong and Xie Lingya were husband and wife, so it was okay for Le Tong to make this joke, everyone just followed his advice.
“Yes, I am the ghost bride.” Le Tong said briskly.
At this time, Le Tong had already walked to Xie Lingya’s side. Then she stretched out her hand and tightly circled Xie Lingya’s arm, almost leaning against him.
Xie Lingya’s expression changed. Le Tong’s hands were as if they were made of iron, which made his arms hurt.
He originally wanted to say something, but Xie Lingya estimated that the people here would not just watch him beat a woman, so he took a step and was half dragged and half voluntarily taken out.
Le Tong’s classmates, especially Mu Shan, also found it strange. It seemed like a joke just now, but they didn’t hear that the relationship between the two of them had improved by leaps and bounds. And didn’t Le Tong have a boyfriend?
But the two of them had already gone out together.
As soon as the two of them went out, someone couldn’t help but say: “What’s going on? Xie Lingya and Le Tong are not getting along, are they?”
….
Bathroom. Le Tong put her bag in front of the mirror and took out a comb to arrange her hair.
There was no one else in the toilet. Xie Lingya asked: “You are not Le Tong, why are you pestering her?”
“Le Tong” looked at Xie Lingya in the mirror, showed a strange smile, and said quietly: “Husband, am I not your bride…”
“Sister, please respect yourself! Don’t take advantage of me!” Xie Lingya went out to visit the temple fair without bringing any magical instruments or talismans. He suddenly got angry and reached out to touch Le Tong’s Yintang point.
“Le Tong” turned her head very quickly and dodged it, reaching out her fingers to pinch Xie Lingya’s neck.
She was extremely strong, and her arms were as thin as steel. Xie Lingya, a grown man, couldn’t break her hold, so he could only continue to reach out and try to pinch “Le Tong” by the nose.
A waiter came in and was shocked when he saw this scene. “What’s going on? You’re beating a woman.”
After saying that, he immediately came up to break up the fight and pulled Xie Lingya’s hand.
Xie Lingya rolled his eyes, where did you see me hitting the woman. Didn’t you see that it is me who is being strangled by her??
He didn’t take action immediately in the room because he was afraid that if this happened, who would believe that he wanted to “exorcise ghosts” from Le Tong, but “Le Tong” obviously didn’t have as many worries as he did.
“Honey, hubby, come and accompany me.” “Le Tong” was still murmuring, her pupils narrowed, and the whites of her eyes took up most of her eyes.
“Beauty, beauty, please relax, your husband seems to be out of breath. Speak calmly!” The waiter saw Xie Lingya’s face turn red and patted “Le Tong”.
“Le Tong” raised her head and stared coldly at the waiter with her white eyes. The waiter screamed in fright, took a few steps back, fell to the ground, hit his head on the sink, and fainted.
Xie Lingya squeezed “Le Tong’s” hand hard with one hand to get some fresh air for himself, bit off his middle finger with the other hand and pressed on “Le Tong’s” Yintang area.
“Le Tong” quickly bounced away, her speed was incomprehensible.
“Ahem!” Xie Lingya took a few breaths and quickly drew a spiritual eyes between his eyebrows. When he looked over again this time, he saw a shadow on “Le Tong”, overlapping with her body.
Xie Lingya immediately closed and locked the door, then rushed into the toilet and chased “Le Tong”, strangled her neck and drew talismans on her face with blood on her middle finger.
“Le Tong” was now extremely powerful, and Xie Lingya finally managed to restrain her. Even so, she was on the verge of breaking free at any time.
“It hurts…” The waiter woke up, rubbed his head, and stood up. What he saw was Xie Lingya strangling Le Tong. Le Tong’s face was covered with blood, and her eyes had turned white. Xie Lingya seemed to be digging into her neck with his fingers. It was a brutal scene.
Xie Lingya: “Hey…”
The waiter didn’t listen to him, and was so frightened that he almost gasped, “Ah – murder!!”
Regardless of his dizziness, he rolled up from the ground, quickly opened the door and rushed out.
“… Just close the door for me!” Xie Lingya had no choice. “Le Tong” kept twisting and turning, and he couldn’t draw the talisman well. He was afraid that people would run away, so he simply jumped up and wrapped his feet around “Le Tong’s” waist and continued squeezing out the blood from her middle finger and tried to draw a complete symbol on her face.
…
Zhang Daoting rushed to the backyard with his mobile phone: “It’s not good, Daochang Shi, the boss has entered the police station.”
Shi Changxuan looked up, “?”
Zhang Daoting also looked a little confused: “One of his classmates used his cell phone to call me. He was involved in an emotional dispute with a woman. No, Daozhang Shi, the boss has a girlfriend?”
Shi Changxuan blurted out: “Impossible.”
“I think so too, Daozhang Shi. The boss’s character is really trustworthy!” Zhang Daoting praised.
“…” Shi Changxuan was speechless. He stood up and thought for a while, “I’ll get something and then go with you to the police station.”
He went back to his room and took out the Reporting God. This thing was too noisy. He had endured it for several days, but when he was reading, he simply put it in a drawer, so it was a little quieter.
As soon as Phytolacca God was picked up, he said with sorrow and hidden pride: “Look at you——”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
