During the break in the middle of the game, when everyone returned to the gathering point to rest, everyone received a bottle of mineral water from the crew.
This was because the mineral water company was sponsoring the program. While everyone was drinking water, Du Xiaoguang suddenly said with a smile: “The crew doesn’t provide meals, and all expenses during this period have to rely on your efforts.”
“Puff——” Wu Taishu spat out a mouthful of water.
Le Xian also stopped drinking water, holding back a cough to avoid looking too out of control.
Yu Lianyun and Mi Lu’s reactions were also not small, and everyone cast their eyes on Du Xiaoguang, this unreliable variety show director.
Du Xiaoguang didn’t seem to notice their accusing eyes, and continued, “This killing game is supposed to last for six days at most, that is, six nights. Or until all civilians are killed, or the killer is found, and you continue to find all the treasure maps to end it. That means you have to rely on yourself for food and drink during these six days.”
“Are you kidding me? Didn’t the game end yesterday?” Wu Taishu put down the mineral water, looking extremely entangled, “Oh my God, I don’t want to spend the night in the nanny car anymore. The most important thing is to take a shower! Do you want us to dress up to make money again?”
Du Xiaoguang smiled lovingly, “You don’t have to dress up this time, you can also borrow money from others with your real appearance and identity. However, let me make it clear that if you really do this, the program will also film this scene for future viewers to see.”
Wu Taishu couldn’t look him in the eye.
The others also showed different expressions.
Si Huang put down the mineral water and raised her hand.
Du Xiaoguang noticed it and burst into laughter, “What are you going to say?”
Si Huang, like a good student, offered her own suggestion, “Can I apply to shorten the shooting time? For example, shoot for two or three days, and shoot one night as a two-night show.”
“It’s not impossible if you to say that. It can be done by post-editing.” Du Xiaoguang smiled, “But the rules of the task cannot be changed unless you can finish the game within two or three days.”
Si Huang understood, “Kill all the civilians or find the killer and collect the treasure map.”
“That’s right.” Du Xiaoguang said, “Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing. The killer can not only kill people but also rob the property of the killed. That is to say, if the killer is a little poor, he can kill the richest one and take away his mission phone, which is equivalent to getting all his property.”
“Oh~ I seem to have heard some hints,” Mi Lu interrupted, “This killer is poor? Then it must not be me and Si Huang.” Her eyes looked at Wu Taishu, Le Xian and Yu Lianyun.
Du Xiaoguang shrugged, “I’m just giving an example. Another thing is that this game will involve this Fourth Master, who will appear as an informant for the hidden mission. Once you meet him, you can do everything you can to get information from him but be careful not to let him get useful information. Because he is likely to leak your information to others.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Xia Qitong again.
The man being stared at smiled and said, “I will treat everyone fairly.”
Everyone’s expression clearly showed that they didn’t believe him very much. Even Si Huang deliberately cooperated with everyone to show the same skeptical attitude, which made Xia Qitong laugh and cast a resentful look at her.
Si Huang laughed dumbly and said to Du Xiaoguang, “If the killer was killed on the first day, can the time when the treasure map prompt appears be made more frequent?”
“From what you said, it seems that you already know who the killer is?” Du Xiaoguang asked her back.
Si Huang smiled but said nothing.
Wu Taishu suddenly said, “You are so confident, why do I feel that you are deliberately confusing everyone?”
“Whatever you think,” Si Huang replied calmly, “I also feel that you are deliberately targeting me. Maybe you are the killer. Will you kill me first tonight?”
“Hahaha.” Wu Taishu laughed innocently, “I will be very gentle.”
Si Huang raised her fist to him, curled the corners of her mouth and showed a charming smile, “If you really dare to come to my room in the middle of the night, my fist will not know how to be gentle.”
“Maybe, we can take out all the clues we have found and analyze them together.” Yu Lianyun stood up and suggested. As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper first, “This is the clue I got.”
Wu Taishu first showed that he had not found any clues about the killer.
Mi Lu turned her head, “I found it, but I don’t want to take it out, so how can you guess.”
Le Xian was a little embarrassed, “I didn’t find it either.”
Finally, everyone looked at Si Huang, and she also looked around at the four people, and then took out the clues she had got.
The other three staff members who played the role of civilians also said that they did not get any clues. As for whether they really did not get any clues, it was unknown.
The clue that Yu Lianyun got was a Q-version female head.
“Does that mean the killer is a woman?” Le Xian said in surprise. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Lianyun and Mi Lu with some suspicion. In fact, the focus was still on Mi Lu.
“Not necessarily.” Yu Lianyun looked at Wu Taishu instead, “I remember that Senior Taishu is good at drawing Q-version pictures.”
“Hey! If that’s the case, this clue is too simple and does not fit Brother Du’s character.” Wu Taishu defended himself, “Maybe it means that he is popular with women? Who is popular with women here?”
This was directed at Si Huang again.
Si Huang replied, “Or the person who likes beautiful women the most.”
This was a stab back at Wu Taishu.
Le Xian said again: “Why don’t you suspect the three of them? This will catch them off guard.”
This sentence reminded everyone, and the other three staff members immediately expressed their innocence. One of them even joked: “We are a group of cannon fodder, and we are ready to be the first blood at any time.”
The first blood means the first person to sacrifice, the first kill!
“Let’s look at the clue found by Si Huang.”
Si Huang’s clues only had one word: multi-talented.
Multi-talented? Talented? Or was it a homophonic word for “rich”?
If the three staff members were not mentioned, who among them was not multi-talented? How can you be a star without being multi-talented and accumulate the fame you have now?
“Q version of a female avatar plus the standard of multi-talented, why do I feel that it looks so much like you?” Mi Lu pointed directly at Yu Lianyun and said.
Yu Lianyun’s expression did not change, “I am not, and if I were, I would not take the initiative to offer clues.”
“Maybe this is to cover up?” It was said that people of the same sex repel each other, and it was probably true. Anyway, it seemed that Mi Lu had begun to target Yu Lianyun.
Wu Taishu came to smooth things over, “That female portrait doesn’t necessarily represent a woman. I always feel that that is too simplistic. Being multi-talented doesn’t necessarily mean being versatile. If we really have to talk about versatility, who among us can compare to our superior, Si Huang?”
When he said this, no one refuted it.
Who made Si Huang’s achievements since her debut be so daunting!
It seemed that any event related to her would surprise people. She had been so successful all the way, and it seemed that they could already foresee the peak she would reach in the future.
“Why do you always target Si Huang?” Mi Lu retorted with a frown.
“Finally you couldn’t help it,” Wu Taishu seemed to be waiting for Mi Lu to speak, “You have clues in your hand but don’t take them out. Are you trying to cover up for Si Huang?”
Mi Lu raised her eyebrows, “Even if there are clues, it’s not possible to guess who it is at once. Look, there are two clues now, and you still can’t guess anything.”
“I’m going to eat first.” Seeing that there would be no result to this discussion for the time being, Si Huang put her clues back in her pocket.
“Your Majesty, wait for me.” Mi Lu changed her words again, as if she didn’t even care about her moral integrity for a meal.
Si Huang ignored her and walked away leisurely.
Wu Taishu stared at their backs and whispered, “I guess Mi Lu will secretly show her clues to Si Huang, why don’t we form a group! They are obviously in the same group.”
“The chance of finding the treasure map will decrease.” Yu Lianyun gave a reason and left.
Wu Taishu couldn’t keep her, so he could only stare at Le Xian with a very stubborn look, as if he would be heartbroken immediately if he left.
Le Xian smiled helplessly, “I don’t think Senior Taishu is the killer.”
“Good boy!” Wu Taishu patted him on the shoulder and smiled brightly, “Follow me, I promise you will have good food and drink.”
“Thank you, Senior Taishu.” Le Xian slightly avoided his intimate touch, “But it seems that Senior doesn’t have much money.”
The honest words pierced Wu Taishu’s heart like glass, shattering it all over the floor.
Both men were depressed.
What should we do with lunch? Will we really have to use our real identity to borrow from tourists?
