Chapter 108: The Mysterious Hospital (9)
After listening to the dancer's words, Tang Juyi noticed that the candle in front of him was already in a state of extinguishing at this time. Since the clown is the only character at the round table who doesn't need to narrate, Tang Juyi hasn't paid too much attention to the candle in front of him, which caused the misunderstanding just now.
Looking at the half-lit white candle in front of him, Tang Juyi sighed in a rather regretful tone:
"I thought you could endure a few more rounds of the game, but I didn't expect you to be so breathless......"
The strange thing is that Tang Juyi is speaking directly at this time.
The silver-white pupils scanned everyone at this round table, and Tang Juyi, who was sitting in the seat and playing the role of "Clown Jack", showed an impatient look:
"How many more rounds are you going to play in this boring story theater?"
Seeing that no one at the table responded, Tang Juyi's expression became even colder, and he directly slapped the candle in front of him, and said in a rather unruly tone:
"As I said, I'm in a hurry, so it's time for your stupid game to end, right? The liar all the time - Jack the Clown? ”
Bang Bang Bang –
Clouds of smoke erupted, and the twelve people at the table had been turned into puppets after the smoke had cleared, leaving only a red-nosed clown with exaggerated oil paint still sitting opposite.
"You shouldn't break the rules of the game......"
Jack the Clown's tone sounded unhappy.
"I instruct your mother to sell twist flowers."
Tang Juyi's response was so simple and crude.
Kicking the ground, Tang Juyi let his chair slide out of some distance, so that there was enough room to lift Erlang's legs:
"In order to convince you of the loss, I will give you a little dignity. Let's start with this terrible story......"
"A remote western town with few inhabitants came to a circus by chance, and with that circus came a series of horrific murders."
The silver brilliance in Tang Juyi's eyes was blazing, making the clown on the opposite side a little afraid to look at him:
"Let's start with the character design that is obviously insulting my intelligence...... Butcher the butcher, Dwarf the Witch, Magic the Magician, and Jack the Clown Joker barely use their brains to realize what the head of the group is corresponding to Dimon - Demon. ”
"Since the name of every person with a name corresponds to the English of their identity role, then there is a more than ninety percent chance that the head of the regiment is a so-called demon."
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi glanced at the puppet on his right:
"It has all the characteristics of a human form that Western demons use to hide their identities - gentleness, courtesy, an aristocratic upbringing, and a style of speech with a lot of traps buried. I can almost relate to the meaning of his first round of narrative: 'Grow in this town and reap the rewards'...... Hehe...... Harvest may not necessarily mean money, but may be something that demons love the most, such as souls. ”
Tang Juyi sneered and looked at the puppet corresponding to the priest who had been killed before:
Originally, it was just a guess, but the death of the priest immediately confirmed my judgment. As a priest who worships God, he is not only disgusted by the existence of the circus, but also full of hatred for Satan, to whom the demon belongs, and it is simply intolerable not to solve him. ”
Then, Tang Juyi looked at the clown Jack opposite:
"You said that one of these people was lying all the time, and then you told me to play the role of Jack the Clown, and you made me skip the narrative process to get me into the blind spot that you had put in your mind...... Unfortunately, I happened to notice that there is a special character in each game that is not narrated at the round table, but there is a special character with the narration content, which is you, Jack the Clown. ”
Tang Juyi put his hand on the table, crossed his fingers, and palms down:
"Your first round of narration appears in Magician McJick's narrative - [and Jack told me to see Dolph behaving in some unusual ways], and similarly, the second round of narration appears in the words of Captain Dimon - [and Jack thinks Dolph could not have been involved in this incident]. The third round is even more subtle - [Jack and I feel the same sadness about the sheriff's death]. I can almost guess that after the death of Jack the Clown, his narrative will still appear in this indirect way. ”
"I realized this and made a hypothesis, if Jack the Clown was a liar, what did that mean? Dolph had not behaved in the ordinary, and Jack was well aware that Dolph had something to do with the priest's death, and Jack had no sense of grief over the sheriff's death...... That's where the fun comes in. ”
Tang Juyi stared at Jack the Clown's eyes, his eyes were full of oppression:
The Joker kills the priest at the behest of the devil, and is then bumped into by Dolph in certain scenes. The poor, honest dwarf, coerced by the demons and their minions into taking their side, had to take their side and kill the able-bodied sheriff. ”
"If I'm guessing correctly, the next to die will be the doctor trying to escape the town, and the rest will be afraid to flee for this or other reasons, or even to the circus full of horrors."
After saying this, Tang Juyi laughed in a low voice, leaned back on the back of the chair, and stretched:
"You're so unconfident, and that's where you fail. You were in too much of a hurry to let the Joker die, trying to clear his name, but it only made me more determined. Even if I know this, I'm still a little interested in listening to this little story...... It's a pity that I said I was in a hurry. ”
The more relaxed Tang Juyi's posture was, the more gloomy the expression of the clown on the other side of the table.
After listening to Tang Juyi's words, the clown still refused to admit defeat:
"Even then, you shouldn't-"
Tang Juyi smiled evilly and interrupted the clown's words:
"What shouldn't be? Shouldn't this game be interrupted, which is itself a lie? I told you I saw through your tricks, but you don't seem to believe ......"
After clearing his throat, Tang Juyi's smile became more and more unscrupulous:
"Since Jack the Clown's narrative is all lies, then of course there will be no truth in his mouth, that is, he was lying from the beginning."
"The introduction to this so-called game begins with your image turning into a clown, so from that moment on, everything you say is already a lie. There's no thirteen-player narrative game, there's no narrative for every round, and I don't have a role to replace you. ”
"I played myself from the beginning. All you have done is to change my surroundings, deceive my vision, and ban my linguistic powers, so that I have no way to verify them, so that I can mistakenly believe that the truth is indeed what you say. ”
The light of the Eye of Truth was so bright at this time that Tang Juyi seemed to be full of a sense of looking down on the rules.
No matter what the face of the clown on the other side of the table was, Tang Juyi, who was full of evil smiles, accentuated his tone and said word by word:
"This thirteen-person narration game is a lie. All you need to do to win the game is to see through this and expose your identity as a liar in order to win in the true sense of the word. ”
Peng!
At this moment, the clown also turned into a cloud of smoke and returned to his previous puppet appearance. The surrounding fog has also dissipated, and the layout of the basement has long since changed back to the previous herbarium, and the sheep skulls on the walls still emit faint candlelight.
The puppet with a hippie smile said helplessly:
"Congratulations, you saw through the lie and managed to win this game. As a reward for the winner, you will be given the opportunity to go to your companion's room and receive a mystery gift. ”
The silver light in Tang Juyi's eyes faded, and he raised his eyebrows:
"Let's not talk about those two teleportation opportunities, I'm curious about what the so-called mysterious gift will be."
The Laughing Puppet turned and pulled out a large scroll from the shadows behind it and placed it on the table.
Tang Juyi didn't speak, just quietly waited for the puppet to show this mysterious gift completely.
The puppet moves smoothly, directly untying the knots on the scroll, and then unfolding the scroll completely.
Looking at the pattern on the scroll, Tang Juyi was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was also strange, and at the same time he greeted the portrait on the scroll:
"Long time no see...... Xiao Zhe. ”
