When they arrived at the restaurant, other people had also arrived one after another, including Mi Lu and her group. She didn’t know if they were always paying attention to Si Huang’s phone location, and they found her breakfast location in time.
Seeing that Mi Lu looked like she was begging to be fed, Si Huang asked the waiter to bring another breakfast.
Mi Lu immediately smiled sweetly when she saw the purple post on the dining table. “Today’s task is a very famous game on the Internet.”
Si Huang ate her breakfast slowly without saying a word.
Mi Lu obediently stopped talking about this topic.
It took about ten minutes for the group to finish their breakfast.
Si Huang opened the post on the table. The first page stated that the mission could not be shown to outsiders and the mission content could not be mentioned to anyone else, otherwise it would be considered a mission failure.
She turned sideways, blocking everyone’s sight of the post, and then read the contents carefully.
Just as Mi Lu said, today’s game activity was a game that was once very popular on the Internet, a killer game called “Close Your Eyes When It’s Dark”.
It was just a little different from the one on the Internet. After Du Xiaoguang changed it into a real-life game, he also added adventurous treasure hunt rules.
There was a judge that everyone knew in the game, but here there were two of them, namely the host Jia Yun and Ai Xuan. In addition to the five guests, three staff members from the program team also joined the game as civilians.
The identities of the five guests could not be revealed to each other except the judge. There was one killer, one policeman, three civilians, and three staff members, making a total of six civilians.
These were the rules that everyone knew at present, and there were also hidden rules…
For example, in the post in Si Huang’s hand, she saw a small piece of writing under all the public rules: Every guest has a hidden ability.
There was a bracket after this sentence, and the brackets contained the hidden ability that Si Huang possessed.
Si Huang looked at his assigned gaming profession and the special abilities in brackets and smiled softly, her eyes sparkling with interest.
She had a new understanding of Du Xiaoguang’s mind.
This game was interesting.
“What’s your occupation?” Mi Lu asked after she finished reading it. She was not surprised that she didn’t get an answer and then said mysteriously: “For the sake of playing the game with you, I can’t tell you. But my special abilities can definitely help you.”
“From now on, the game has officially begun.” Si Huang put the post away.
Mi Lu’s eyes widened, “Your Majesty, you don’t believe what I said?”
Si Huang looked at her with a smile, “You really don’t want to try to resist?”
Mi Lu’s body trembled, and she didn’t know how to answer for a moment. Then she heard Si Huang’s gorgeous and pleasant voice, which was softly and bewitchingly magical, ringing in her ears, “Escape well, don’t get killed.”
“…” Mi Lu’s face turned pale, like a frightened animal, she froze in place and didn’t move.
Si Huang walked past her.
Yu Xi and the others looked at this scene with some surprise. They didn’t know what Si Huang had said to cause Mi Lu to make her react so strongly.
According to the rules of the game, the game scene was in a scenic spot in the inner city of the ancient city. During the day, everyone had to form a group to hunt for treasure here and find clues to the truly huge treasure. This clue could be a clue to the treasure, or it could be a clue about the killer left by an “informant” in the game.
Since no one knew who the real killer was, and human nature was greedy, the clues they found could not be shown to others.
The game was arranged like a story. The plot of the story was about an adventure team that accidentally got the news of a treasure and came to hunt for it. There were civilians who really wanted to find the treasure, a policeman who hid his identity and suspected that this was a conspiracy of a criminal gang, and a greedy killer who wanted to possess the treasure alone and could kill everyone here for this.
During the day, they hid their identities and kept secrets from each other, pretending to be partners who trusted each other. At night, it was time for the killer to act and kill.
As a real-life game, as a civilian who may be killed, you could not only resist but also choose to hide, but it must be within the scope of the game rules.
….
Once everyone was familiar with the rules, they were asked to gather at the focal point written in the post.
Du Xiaoguang had been waiting here for a long time. He greeted them with a smile, “Did you sleep well last night? How can you find the treasure without getting enough rest?”
Upon hearing his words, Si Huang and Mi Lu were fine, but Le Xian and Wu Taishu had stiff faces, looking exhausted and haggard.
This haggard look was not fake; they really had spent the entire night in the nanny car. Not only was there no water to take a shower, but even removing their makeup was quite difficult.
“It looks like everyone is ready,” everyone thought he was going to say the game was about to begin, but Du Xiaoguang laughed and said, “Don’t say I’m stingy. Let me tell you first, this treasure is real. The treasure that the winner will get is absolutely worth the money and is very valuable! As for the losers, their points will be retained until the next round, and they will also have to accept the death penalty!”
First he tempted, then he threatened.
Du Xiaoguang really tried everything for this show.
“Okay,” this time Du Xiaoguang officially picked up the mallet in his hand and hit the gong and drum beside him, “Now the treasure hunt begins.”
The filming team was in place.
“Let me make it clear first, I am a policeman!” Wu Taishu shouted as soon as he arrived.
Everyone looked at him and found that Du Xiaoguang had no intention of stopping him.
Si Huang smiled elegantly, “Hello everyone, my job is a civilian pilot, and my dream is to fly a bomber one day to fight in a world war.”
“Puchi!” Mi Lu laughed out loud, and said, “Hello everyone, my job is a civilian nurse, and my dream is to be the most beautiful angel in white and save everyone in the world.”
With the two of them playing pranks, how could everyone not understand the mystery – the game had officially begun, and everyone’s words may be lies to deceive others.
“Anyway, I won’t go with Si Huang. He has the best skills and is most likely to be a killer.” Wu Taishu expressed his opinion.
Yu Lianjun turned around and left alone without saying a word.
“Even if he is, he can’t kill people during the day,” Le Xian said.
“He can still steal the treasure map.” Wu Taishu was still hesitant.
Si Huang shrugged innocently, “Am I being excluded?”
Wu Taishu put his hand on Le Xian’s shoulder and called Mi Lu, “Follow uncle, the police uncle will take care of you.”
Mi Lu looked at Si Huang, but the latter did not react at all. She bit her lower lip and walked over to Wu Taishu.
This time, Si Huang was obviously excluded.
Du Xiaoguang, however, watched with great interest.
Mi Lu, who was sticking to Si Huang like a pet cat yesterday, betrayed him early this morning. Was there any more interesting topic than this?
“Director Du.”
Upon hearing this highly recognizable voice, Du Xiaoguang instinctively turned his head and saw Xia Qitong’s fair and handsome face.
“I think…”
Si Huang felt a gaze falling on him. When he turned around, he saw Xia Qitong looking at him and whispering something to Du Xiaoguang. When their eyes met, he squinted and smiled at himself.
The content of his words should be related to herself, or the current game, otherwise Du Xiaoguang would not have looked at her after listening to him and then nodded and agreed to something.
Si Huang did not investigate further. She nodded and greeted them, then quickly left towards the place where the treasure clues might be.
A clue to the location of the treasure would appear on the mobile phone distributed to each guest at irregular intervals, and the clue usually disappeared after ten seconds.
After Si Huang walked for a while, her cell phone started vibrating. She took it out and looked at it for two or three seconds before memorizing the route. She put the phone in her pocket, looked back at the guy taking the photo, and gestured bye.
The guy taking the photo looked puzzled.
Then he saw Si Huang suddenly running.
He instinctively followed and then realized with exhaustion: Damn it! I can’t catch up! Ahhhh! He even climbed over the wall, and his movements were so smooth and light that he landed on the other side without making any sound.
The cameraman who captured this scene was about to send a message to Director Du, but then he heard Du Xiaoguang’s voice through the Bluetooth headset in his ear, “Location No. 4, hurry over.”
“Okay!” The cameraman temporarily turned off the camera and ran to Location No. 4.
Fortunately, there were cameras installed at the treasure hiding places, so they could capture which guest had obtained the clue to the treasure and then leave the rest to post-processing.
“What do you mean by practiced with soldiers? He must have practiced with special forces!” Du Xiaoguang cursed with a laugh while watching the brief scene just captured by the guy filming.
Xia Qitong who was standing next to him heard this and said, “It’s true that it’s not something that an ordinary soldier can teach.”
Cheng Hong curled his lips. Climbing over a wall like it was nothing. This guy is really strong!
….
Facts had proved that Wu Taishu’s concerns were not unfounded, and the fact that Si Huang was the best in martial arts had also been fully proven. What was even more frustrating was that this person was not only good in martial arts, but also smart.
The camera at the treasure location captured Si Huang. She was seen standing motionless in a room, as if measuring the distance. After a few seconds, she walked towards a bookshelf, her fingers slowly sliding over each book, then going down a few grids, and finally selecting a few boxes in the middle of the third layer. After searching for a while, she found a piece of bright yellow cloth.
She put the rag in her pocket, do you think she will leave after getting the benefit?
What Si Huang did next made Du Xiaoguang and others who saw it realize how naive their ideas were – this guy probably calculated that there was enough time, and he actually turned around and went to the desk next to the bookshelf, picked up a brush, dipped it in the ink on the table, and wrote a paragraph on the ready-made white paper.
Due to the problem with the camera, no one could see clearly what she wrote.
All they could see was that after she finished writing, she picked up the paper and blew on it near her mouth, and when the ink was almost dry, she folded it up and put it back into the box where she had found the rags.
Everything was done so naturally and smoothly, without leaving a single cloud in the air.
“Is he really the killer?”
“If he is the killer, how can the others survive! Identify him and kill him quickly!”
“What did he write on the paper? Why is the cameraman so slow?”
Du Xiaoguang heard the discussions around him, smiled meaningfully, but said nothing.
The game time continued.
The one hour passed in a flash, and some of the treasure clues happened to be located near some of the guests, so others couldn’t reach them even if they wanted to.
From the statistics here by Du Xiaoguang, they could see that Si Huang was the one who had obtained the most clues so far. He had collected three pieces of cloth and a clue about the killer.
