Chapter 9: The Hunt

When it was close to dinner, Xu Tian and Sitong came to the restaurant on the second floor according to Li Jiahao's invitation, and at this time, the tourists in the mansion had already evacuated, and the remaining people with depressed faces made Xu Tian feel very uncomfortable.

Xu Tian counted it, including himself and Sitong, as well as Teacher Jin who was sitting alone in the corner, there were a total of thirty-six people who participated in the game, and Li Zhitong did not leave, but was still busy as a waiter.

Li Jiahao took the tray and handed out red wine and a small card to each guest present, at this time, Western music sounded out of nowhere, and this unique Western medieval style restaurant, the whole atmosphere seemed very romantic.

There are a total of four round tables in the dining room, and there are some small tables for two people in the corner, and Mr. Jin sits in the corner with his head calm, looking very calm.

Li Zhitong also looked very natural, and did not have the tension of being discovered, all these very harmonious pictures made Xu Tian feel panicked.

Xu Tian didn't dare to drink the red wine distributed, but the small card made Xu Tian interested, but there was nothing written on the card, only a number, and Xu Tian got "7".

Sitong didn't have a small card, and there was no red wine, so obviously Xu Tian and Sitong should have been tied together as a combination.

Xu Tian looked around at the people around him, no one dared to drink red wine, not even the delicious meal on the table, everyone knew their situation, and almost everyone was on guard at this time.

There is a small table in the innermost part of the restaurant, which is usually supposed to be performed as a resident singer, but now the table has been decorated, but those decorations make Xu Tian feel very funny, and they are all cat toys such as cat teasing sticks and cat scratching boards.

There was also a seat on the table with his back to everyone, and Xu Tian was sitting in a more partial position, so Xu Tian could see that there should be a person in a suit sitting behind the seat.

It's 5:55 p.m., five minutes before the game starts, and the whole restaurant is very quiet, except for the sound of the waiters walking and the sound of plates falling on the table, no other sound can be heard at all, everyone is holding their breath and looking cautious.

There was an old big clock hanging on the side wall, except for the calm Teacher Jin, everyone else was staring at the clock while guarding against the people around them, at this moment Xu Tian felt that the second hand was moving very fast, and the five minutes only passed in a trance.

When the time came to six o'clock, a cat model suddenly appeared under the clock, and after six sounds, the seat on the table with its back to everyone slowly turned around, and a man with a cat mask appeared in everyone's eyes.

It was the cat duke who appeared on TV, Xu Tian's heart became more and more nervous, Si Tong held Xu Tian's hand tightly, at this time Xu Tian felt that Si Tong's palm had been soaked with sweat, in order not to make Si Tong feel that he was also flustered, Xu Tian pretended to be calm and stared at the cat duke on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Cat Mansion." Duke Cat spoke in a thin voice, and Xu Tian on the side could see a line stuck in Duke Cat's ear, which should be a voice-changing microphone in the mask.

There was a sigh in the restaurant instantly, and some people had begun to tremble, but Teacher Jin in the corner was still very calm.

"Today's dinner is prepared by me for everyone, don't worry, eat as much as you want, the food is not poisonous." Duke Cat said slowly.

Although Duke Cat said this, no one dared to move the knife and fork, but Mr. Jin in the corner was unceremoniously, tied the scarf around his neck, picked up the knife and fork and began to eat dinner.

"What is he doing?" Sitong muttered quietly.

"I don't know, this Teacher Jin's words and deeds are weird, he can still eat it at this time!" Xu Tian said.

The wind was already blowing outside, the raindrops crackled on the window, and the original solemn atmosphere seemed even more tense, Duke Cat walked off the stage, sat opposite Mr. Jin, picked up half a bottle of red wine on the table and refilled Mr. Jin's wine glass.

"If you don't want to eat the banquet I prepared, go back to your room! Your luggage has been confiscated, don't try to escape from here, the fence has been pulled up to the grid, and it's stormy weather, I don't need to explain the danger index of approaching the wall, right? The Duke said.

At this moment, a young man closest to Xu Tian suddenly fell to the ground, obviously frightened, the young man ran to the staircase, and when the young man approached the staircase, an arrow the size of a palm suddenly flew from behind, directly penetrating the neck of the young man.

The young man clutched his throat and climbed up the stairs, followed by the sound of rolling down the stairs.

Xu Tian looked along the direction of the arrow's launch, Li Jiahao was holding a crossbow at the staircase, and everyone was silent at this moment, and he didn't even sigh anymore, but the sound of Mr. Jin chewing medium-rare steak could still be heard in the restaurant.

"There are thirty-four left, and your competition has become smaller again, and after dinner you should go and pay tribute to the man who gave his life for your freedom." Duke Cat said.

Xu Tian couldn't help but feel a little strange, obviously there were thirty-five people left to participate in the game now, why did the cat duke say thirty-four? Could it be that he and Sitong are a combination and are counted as one person? Or is it ...... There are people in here who are not gamers!

"The cards you just got have numbers of different colors, blue as the murderer, red as the deceased, from now on, the first round of the hunting game begins, and after an hour, if the murderer does not succeed in committing the crime, he will be sentenced to death; If the deceased kills the murderer, his life will be saved; If the murderer succeeds in committing the crime, then the number of the card in the deceased's hand can be added to the number of the murderer's card, and this number is your points, and the number of points will affect your priority in the next round of the game. ”

Xu Tian looked at the number in his hand, it was the blue number 7, which means that Xu Tian wanted to be a murderer to kill, if he didn't kill an hour later, he would be shot to death by a crossbow, but how could Xu Tian do such a thing!

"The game begins......" said the Duke of Cat as he stood up. Disband! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knife and fork on the big table that picked up a knife and fork for Western food and stabbed the person next to him, three people were killed on the spot, and the person who grabbed the red card stood on the table and laughed wildly, seeing this scene, Xu Tian pulled Sitong and hurriedly ran to the room upstairs.

When they walked to the door, the downstairs restaurant was already in a mess, the two returned to the room and locked the door, Xu Tian leaned back against the door and looked at the blue number 7 in his hand, if his hands were not stained with blood, I am afraid that this time it would be difficult to escape.
