Chapter 19: I Must Be Cursed
It turns out that the black dahlia is not so easy to use, and after experiencing the experience of Jack the Ripper in the first person, no new perspective has appeared, and Xu Xiaoming's use of it can only infinitely loop the escape record of the black dahlia murderer. However, in order to find new anomalous events, he maintained the habit of using black dahlias once a day, so as not to miss any new information.
However, for Xiao Ming, there is a second option besides counting on the black dahlia to find a new anomalous event: ask his own anomalous carriers.
Feng Linwan hadn't come back yet, and it wasn't easy for him and Du Weiyan to talk to her about finding an anomaly, but Xu Xiaoming also knew a second senior anomaly carrier.
He Yexiu.
And this second senior anomaly carrier is so deceiving!
"Why do I always think you're going to lie to me, is it my delusion?"
He Yexiu blinked and looked at Xu Xiaoming's face strangely, with an unprovoked vigilance in his eyes.
"Ahaha, why can't I understand what you're saying?" Xu Xiaoming looked away from him with a weak heart, and then said sincerely: "The two of us finally have time to play, why are you so vigilant, I can still sell you?" Speak as if I could beat you. β
"But I'm afraid that I'll be sold and help people make money, I've been afraid of this kind of thing since I was a child." He Yexiu rolled her eyes, "Besides, why are you suddenly free?" Haven't you been busy doing things I don't know about lately? Done? β
"I'm busy." Xu Xiaoming smiled, "It just so happened that you didn't say last time that you wanted to come out and play the script, so you made an appointment." β
He Yexiu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he didn't care about the sense of distance from Xu Xiaoming, his little head came up all of a sudden, and he asked excitedly: "You really took me to play the script, it's great." β
The so-called script killing is a kind of party game, and the official translation in China is murder mystery, which is roughly a multi-player playing multiple roles in a script, and there will be one player playing the murderer, and the other players need to find the truth of the murderer and the incident according to each other's dialogue, investigation and reasoning. Such a game that is similar to a running group (TRPG) but completely different, compared to a niche running group, script killing is actually more suitable for promotion.
Xu Xiaoming is a half-baked running group player, and he is familiar with script killing, but he hasn't played board games since he came to college. And He Yexiu is a complete novice to this, he has always been interested in this kind of game since he heard about it from Xu Xiaoming in the past, and he has been clamoring for him to bring it over to play for a long time.
Xu Xiaoming's invitation this time, on the one hand, wanted to obtain some knowledge of the abnormal world from He Yexiu, and on the other hand, it also contained the selfishness of dating the two. The previous flow was interrupted several times by the system and abnormal double attacks (multiple spells), but he was still the young man who had just entered college and had hopes for a relationship, so he naturally wanted to continue the previous flow again.
ββTake Ye Xiu to finish playing the script and then go out for a meal, watch a movie in the evening, and confess directly. She definitely didn't expect me to come back after more than half a month, and there was a high probability that she would agree directly under the surprise! Hehe, Xu Xiaoming, you are so witty!
Xu Xiaoming, who took He Yexiu all the way to the door of the board game store, opened the door of the store with the same plan, and before the board game store clerk could greet him, He Yexiu's face changed color on the spot, and he suddenly touched the jade pendant hidden under his clothes.
And Xu Xiaoming, who noticed her movements, turned black on the spot.
- Am I cursed???
The "two ......" board game store brother looked at the two ugly guests, and seemed to be infected by the solemn atmosphere of the two of them, and cautiously asked, "Is there anything you need?" β
"Sorry to wait." Xu Xiaoming stretched out his hand and grabbed He Yexiu's hand, took her two steps back, and left the door of the board game store, the latter retreated obediently, stood outside the door of the store and blinked suspiciously, and signaled to Xiao Ming to spread his hand and signal the jade pendant to extinguish again. And when Xu Xiaoming pulled her into the store again, He Yexiu's jade pendant also lit up again.
In other words, the anomalous event that Yu Pei perceived was in the board game store?
Xu Xiaoming rubbed the corners of his eyebrows with a headache, He Yexiu's original excitement did not fade at all, but became even more excited, Xiao Ming saw that she had no intention of retreating at all, and he also put away his thoughts in this regard, and asked the little brother casually: "The two of us are here to play with the book, can we get someone?" β
"I can shout at people in the group of regular customers, I wonder if the two of you can wait for a while?"
"No problem." Xu Xiaoming nodded, then looked back at He Yexiu, leaned over and asked softly, "How is it?" Any idea what it is? β
"I can't feel it, I just know it's in the store." He Yexiu's eyes that were as beautiful as gems looked around at the people and things in the board game store, and slowly shook his head, "I can't be sure what the abnormality is." β
It's a small board game store, with a large round table in a large room separated by a glass wall, where about ten people are werewolves, and four tables outside are lined up against the couch, and about four or five people are playing Big Boss on one of the tables, in addition to an arcade machine, a freezer, and a video game set made up of a sofa and a PS4.
It's good to have a board game store in an apartment building with this configuration.
Xu Xiaoming retracted his gaze, and it happened that the clerk seemed to have finished contacting someone, and said to Xiao Ming enthusiastically: "I greeted four people, we can play six people, and the two of them will wait for about twenty minutes." β
"Okay." Xu Xiaoming was no longer here, and the excuse was to play the book so that he could stay in the store reasonably, but He Yexiu, who had a strong interest in script killing, came up: "What do you recommend for six people?" Which is fun and which is suitable for beginners? β
"Ah, if you are a novice, I recommend this "Bayou School", the difficulty is not very large, the process is about three and a half hours......"
Xu Xiaoming looked at He Yexiu, who ran to listen to the introduction of the script, speechlessly, and once again affirmed in his heart that the other party was not a reliable investigator's judgment, and he began to think quickly.
- I didn't see any abnormal changes, the werewolf killing over there looks very professional, and the few people in "Big Boss" are very noisy, and they are familiar friends at first glance. Odd? What's the problem? If the anomaly hadn't been activated yet, He Yexiu's jade pendant shouldn't have lit up?
- Besides, why is the system so quiet this time? It's strange that I didn't give any tasks or hints.
