Qiu Xuan sat in the room with his name tag on it, staring at the card that appeared in his hand out of thin air. The front of the card is carved with an old pattern, and in the middle of the pattern are two words:

lover

And less than half an hour ago, in the hall on the first floor, someone was still swearing: "Feudal superstition is not advisable, and true materialists are fearless!" ”

Qiu Xuan looked at the card in his hand that could not be explained by materialist dialectics no matter what, and felt that his face was going to be broken.

Taking a deep breath, she realized that this might mean the start of the villa's owner's game, which should be a game identity card or something. She flipped the cards over.

"Welcome! My dear, guests from afar! Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the Blizzard Lodge game!

In this round of the game, you will be drawn as a 'Lover', which belongs to the [Third Faction]. In this round of the game, two players will draw the identity of 'lovers', and the identities of the two players will be bound, and one of the lovers will die/eliminate the other party will also die/eliminate.

Defeat all players from the other factions to achieve the ultimate victory!

Friendly reminder: For more details about the rules of the game, please see the daily 'Fun Quiz' event. Don't disturb the monsters in the villa~

Finally, I wish you a happy game! ”

Qiu Xuan flipped over the card and looked at it several times, no matter what this "happy quiz" activity and the monster in the villa were, just the game identity of the "lover" was enough to give Qiu Xuan a headache. This means that she has to be tied to another person, and she doesn't know who that person is?

With a sigh, another person adjusted his mentality for a while, looked at the time, and Qiu Xuan got up and prepared to go downstairs to the hall on the first floor.

"Know the ID badge?" Qin Jiuyuan leaned on the handrail of the spiral ladder and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Don't say it, you can't say anything, because I don't know anything except an identity."

The man snorted: "So Miss Thorough Materialist is actually a liar?" ”

Qiu Xuan was so angry that she refused to say a word to him again.

Immediately afterwards, the electronic sound similar to artificial synthesis sounded throughout the villa: "Ding Ding Ding, it's time for dinner!" ”

With the sound of a prologue rising, a large long table appeared in the center of the hall, filled with all kinds of tempting dishes. However, even though the crowd was already hungry, no one was willing to sit in their seats first.

After all, in this kind of game, who knows what will happen to the first person to sit on it. People looked at each other, as if they were all waiting for someone to eat the crab first.

Qiu Xuan was suddenly very annoyed.

As if tired of the silent, cold atmosphere of mutual suspicion, the young black-haired girl lifted her feet and wanted to walk over and sit down. But as soon as she walked to a person, she sat down in that chair faster than she did.

Qiu Xuan paused for a moment and looked down.

A certain enthusiastic man sat on a chair and dangled his long legs, raised his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth into a good-looking smile.

"I just kidd, don't be angry." He said.

Qiu Xuan paused, and then pulled out a chair beside him and sat down, "I'm not angry. She said.

"Okay, okay." Qin Jiuyuan reached out and took a cup and poured her a glass of soda, "Big brother, the ice is wide." ”

Qiu Xuan didn't hold back, and the corners of her mouth hooked up.

On the other side, the aroma of the food stimulated the taste buds of everyone who was still standing, and everyone looked at the two of them again, thinking that it didn't matter if everyone ate anyway. So everyone sat down and began to eat like crazy.

Feeling that she had almost eaten, Qiu Xuan drank the last sip of Coke and wiped her mouth with satisfaction. "Did you find it?" She turned her head and whispered to the man.

"Huh?" Qin Jiuyuan lazily played with the napkin in his hand.

"Is it true that you said before that the thirteen people who stood up first died first? We're exactly thirteen of us now, eh. She lowered her voice and leaned into the man's ear to ask.

"Didn't you believe it before, Miss Thoroughness Materialist." Qin Jiuyuan also followed her example and whispered in her ear.

Feeling that her ears were a little itchy, Qiu Xuan stepped back a little, "I was joking at the time, after all, what happened here is already so mysterious." ”

"Then I'll tell you a secret too, Miss Joking." The man's voice was very close, and the deep voice echoed in his ears, as if it was because it was too clear, Qiu Xuan felt a little distorted, and in a trance, he seemed to hear a whisper from the dark abyss: "As long as you think it's true, it's true." ”

“…… What the? ”

"Nothing." The man stepped back to a safe distance and took a sip of the liquor in his glass, "But as you said, there is a 70 or 80 percent chance that urine in this kind of place is true." ”

Oh, it's over.

Qiu Xuan thought to herself expressionlessly, do you think that if I change the topic like this, I will forget what you just said.

Although intellectually felt that Qin Jiuyuan was just joking with her, Qiu Xuan still felt an indescribable weirdness in her heart. She shook her head and told herself not to think about it, after all, her main task now was to find a way out of this world.

At the end of the dinner, when everyone was full of food and drink—

"Dingding, ding! Next, it's time for the daily Q&A! ”

The eerie, cold electronic synthesized voice reads the lines that should be lively and joyful in a non-undulating tone, and single-handedly turns the children's fun show into a late-night horror thriller.

"The first night—

Question: 'How many factions are there in this game?' ’

Special note: Those who answer correctly in the fun quiz activity every night will have the opportunity to get the right to ask a question, and the question cannot involve any clues related to the ending of the game, otherwise it will be deemed to be automatically forfeited the right to ask questions. ”

Qiu Xuan probably understood that this happy quiz activity was equivalent to the opportunity for everyone to exchange and discuss clues every day. The upside is that everyone present will share most of the information to ensure that the game progress is relatively consistent. The downside is that people between different camps are bound to make up or hide important information in order to win, so at this point, the one who has the power to ask questions will have a considerable advantage.

After analyzing it randomly, Qiu Xuan was relatively relieved, and thought that tonight's problem seemed to be too easy for her.

It's very simple, Qiu Xuan's identity card is a "lover" and belongs to the "third-party camp", so conventionally speaking, there are three camps in this game, and the condition for winning is to eliminate the people from the other two camps.

"What's the problem, the information on my card is too simplistic, there is no mention of any camp at all, and there is still a faction between us?" A man with silver-rimmed glasses was the first to speak.

Some of the people at the table chimed in, while others didn't say anything.

Therefore, the information that everyone has now is not equal. Assuming that the man really doesn't know about the faction, there must be some information on his cards that no one else knows about right now. Qiu Xuan thought to herself, while controlling her expression not to show half a point.

"Ahh I know the answer to this question! At this time, Lu Xingzhou suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him. The answer is three! Right? ”

"Confirm the answer?" An icy electronic synthesizer sounded.

"Wait a minute, we should discuss ......" Gu Qingyue said hurriedly, but her mouth couldn't keep up with Lu Xingzhou's speed.

"Confirm!" Lu Xingzhou said.

"! Are you sick! I've said it's all said and discussed it again, what if there is a penalty for answering incorrectly? Don't drag everyone along with you! Sitting next to the man with glasses before seemed to be his friend yelling at Lu Xingzhou, his face flushed, obviously angry.

"The answer is correct, and the player Lu Xingzhou gets the right to ask questions once."

The yellow-haired boy immediately got up, raised his eyebrows and shouted back, "Did you hear that?" Answer is correct! ”

The glasses man Zhao Ke obviously wanted to say something, but his friend Liu Nian next to him pulled his arm, "Forget it, just pay attention next time." Now it's important to think about the questions you want to ask, and know that from what 'it' said, the opportunity to ask questions every night is crucial. ”

Qiu Xuan intuitively felt that Lu Xingzhou had provoked the anger of the public, but she only sighed in her heart that she was really a child, and then she was silent and did not speak.

In the end, it was Gu Qingyue's round: "Yes, Lu Xingzhou, right?" My suggestion is that we discuss it and identify a problem, and then you decide whether to ask it or not. Do you think that's okay? ”

She analyzed objectively, and her tone was also euphemistic and inquiring. Lu Xingzhou has no reason to stop giving face, not to mention that he is just angry with Zhao Ke and others.

After all, it's only the first night, and with limited knowledge of cards and situations, the question summed up is nothing more than "how do you eliminate the other factions?" "How do you identify people who are in the same camp as you?" "Who was the black shadow who attacked Yang Bo and took the key, and why did he do it? ”

But the last question was rejected when it was raised because it did not conform to the "rules". It's like you can ask, "Is there a 'betrayer' in the game?" But you can't just ask who the "betrayer" is, because then the character of "betrayer" will be meaningless, and it will directly affect the ending of the game.

So the final choice is back in the hands of Lu Xingzhou, and he will decide the last question to be raised.

The yellow-haired boy didn't think about it for long, and asked in a posture that seemed absolutely relaxed, "How do you eliminate the people from the other camps?" ”

It was strange, Qiu Xuan thought to himself, as if he already knew the answers to other questions.

"Every day after dinner, place a note with the name of the person you want to eliminate on the table you want to eliminate, and you can change the name of the person during this time. Until breakfast the next day, the person with the most votes will be eliminated. If there is a tie, the round will be invalidated, and only people with the same number of votes can be recast that night. Note that no one is allowed to view other people's notes in any form. ”

The cold, unemotional electronic synthesizer paused, like an old-fashioned cassette tape suddenly snapped. Immediately afterwards, the mechanical voice that did not resemble a human voice sounded again, mixed with full malice, "The death of a player with a character card will be directly counted as elimination." ”

After saying this, the voice stopped, and at the same time, the white note that suddenly appeared on the table where everyone was facing each other.

In fact, according to this development, in the case of unclear enemy camps, the best thing to do is for everyone to vote for themselves on the first night. Get the right to ask questions on the second night and then vote again. However, everyone knows that it is impossible for everyone to vote for themselves obediently, no matter what kind of mentality or what clues are known in advance, there will always be people who can't wait to eliminate others on the first night.

Qiu Xuan's thought of other people naturally wanted it too, but what she didn't expect was Gu Qingyue's unquestionable toughness in this matter.

"Everyone has to write their names on the first night," she said, spreading out the note with the words 'Gu Qingyue' written on it on the table for everyone to see, "I know that some of you here have personal enmity, and some of you know some 'rules' in advance." But this is only the first night, there should be no unnecessary sacrifices, and the people you eliminate because of personal feuds may be teammates from the same camp as you. I don't know what the advantages of those who know the 'rules' ahead of time are, but at least on this night, those who dare to do anything on the note can't hide my eyes. ”

In an instant, the aura on her body seemed to have changed, although she was still capable and decisive, but something was different.

Qiu Xuan vaguely heard Qin Jiuyuan's whisper next to him.

"Soul Stealer."
