Chapter 65 - Necro Hotel (9)
This time, with his eyes closed, Jiang Xiuxiu held his body and tried to keep his mind awake.
In the end, she still heard footsteps from upstairs.
da da da… da da da…
The footsteps of many people sounded in unison, and at the same time, there was a crisp sound when something fell on the ground.
A very normal voice, Jiang Xiuxiu thought to himself, like the movement that occurs when a normal person moves.
Upstairs, it turns out that there are real residents.
In this way, the note she sneaked into the crack of the door should also be found.
After confirming that the movements he heard on the first night were not hallucinations, Jiang Xiuxiu relaxed his consciousness and let himself sink into the darkness.
This time, she slept very deeply and did not dream.
I don’t know how long it took, and in a daze, she heard another call coming from her ear——
“Jiang Xiuxiu, Jiang Xiuxiu… wake up…”
In such a call, she slowly opened her eyes.
Just like last night, she was sitting on the ground, and in front of her was a mirror and two candles.
In the mirror, her face was pale, her expression was sluggish, and there were thick dark circles under her eyes, as if she had not rested for a long time.
Beside her, several players sat on the ground in a circle.
She carefully counted the number of players this time, and found that No. 9 and No. 12, who were eliminated on the first day, and No. 7 of the Undead were gone.
There are now a total of 12 players participating in the game.
It seems that the undead can only play the game once, and will not participate in it all the time.
That’s fine. After a long time, there will be no situation where most of the participants are undead.
Jiang Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
She had observed other players during the day, and knew that out of the 12 players present, 3 of them disappeared inexplicably during the day and did not go to the restaurant to eat.
Therefore, compared to the first game, she will face 3 undead today.
Fortunately, she had already thought of a way to delay the time yesterday, as long as it continues…
“Gods don’t like opportunistic people,” Jiang Xiuxiu said when the old man on the side suddenly said, “Today’s undead game, the rules will be slightly modified.”
Speaking, the old man’s tone paused slightly: “For example, give everyone the time to think, limited to ten minutes.”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
It changed so quickly! ?
It seems that the game really does not approve of players taking chances…
Seeing the old man say this, many players showed an uneasy look.
Some players have even begun to look at others and start to think about who they will vote for later.
In order to survive, they must attack other players who are also players.
This is the only way the game leaves them.
“The first round of the game begins.”
As the old man’s voice fell, the three dice turned a few times in her hand, and were finally thrown out.
Bone Lulu… Bone Lulu…
Two, four, two.
It’s number 8.
Jiang Xiuxiu remembered that this should be a player, not an undead.
After seeing the number of dice, player No. 8’s face changed slightly, and finally calmed down.
“Now, please close the eyes of No. 8 and recite the number of the undead in your mind.” The old man said.
Player No. 8 seems to have a lot of experience in escape games.
He nodded and closed his eyes, instead of just talking about his choice, he began to delay time.
After yesterday’s incident, many players have discovered that they must delay time to have a chance to survive.
Therefore, the given ten minutes of thinking time will inevitably be exhausted.
Player No. 8 opened his eyes only after the old man said the words “Time is up”.
“I’m done,” he said.
“Very well,” said the old man. “Now, let the gods decide whether your answer is correct.”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Jiang Xiuxiu heard a shrill scream from his left hand.
It’s number 1!
Just like the previous few times, player No. 1 was swallowed whole by the mirror without struggling a few times.
One second, his face was full of confusion and anxiety, and the next second, he disappeared into the mirror.
Da da da……
Blood seeped into the mirror and slowly dripped onto the floor.
The strong smell of blood rushed towards him again, causing Jiang Xiuxiu’s throat to move slightly, and a feeling of nausea and nausea spontaneously emerged.
It stands to reason that numbers 1 and 2 are actually the safest, because it is impossible to roll numbers 1 and 2 because of three dice.
Players 1 and 2, as long as they do not become undead, can basically completely isolate the undead game.
Unexpectedly, player No. 8 actually voted for No. 1 directly.
Also, since No. 1 can’t participate in the undead game, from another perspective, player No. 1 can’t “revenge” No. 8.
The choice of No. 8 can be said to be quite cunning.
Jiang Xiuxiu had considered this before, but she was unwilling to vote for others, so she gave up.
She even felt that the loopholes of No. 1 and No. 2 were deliberately made by the undead game.
Because as long as the layer of diaphragm that framed each other is broken, after that, everyone will tear off the false disguise and completely let go of their courage to harm each other.
Unsurprisingly, in the face of this result, the old man let out a satisfied and weird laugh: “Very well, it seems that the gods think your choice is correct.”
No. 8 breathed a sigh of relief, and the minds of the other players floated.
They looked at each other, some couldn’t stop looking at others, some lowered their heads and thought to themselves.
Among them, the one who was looked at the most was obviously the remaining No. 2 player.
No. 2 is a female player. She predicted her own ending through the expressions of other people, and her face changed.
She tried to cast a glance at her teammate for help, but she didn’t expect to find that her teammate was looking at her when she looked at her.
Moreover, the teammates’ eyes were obviously sophisticated, and they seemed to be thinking about whether or not to cast her.
Female player No. 2’s face was instantly pale, and despair almost filled her eyes.
“The first round of the game is over.” After waiting too long, the old man continued to speak, “The second round of the game, start.”
After all, the old man picked up the dice and weighed it in his hand.
Bone Lulu… Bone Lulu…
After a few breaths, the dice was thrown to the ground again.
After a few laps, they finally stopped.
Only this time, something very strange happened——
One of the three dice was stuck in the crack of the wooden floor after rolling a few laps on the ground!
It stopped with a wonderful gesture, and no numbers appeared on the front, because directly above it was a corner of the tetrahedron!
“It seems that this time, the gods think the number of this dice is invalid.”
Just when the player was in shock and wondered what this would mean, the old man suddenly said.
invalid?
Jiang Xiuxiu was slightly startled, and then turned his attention to the other two dice.
They all have the same number of points directly above them, a red dot.
One, one… and an invalid number.
“Player 2, second game, it’s your turn.”
Just as Jiang Xiuxiu saw the numbers clearly, the old man said quietly.
Her face, which was full of surrounding and always expressionless, suddenly showed a rather strange look: “Now, please close your eyes, No. 2, and recite the number of the undead that you think is in your heart.”
Player No. 2 did not expect that he would encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime situation, and a look of ecstasy instantly appeared on his face.
Her eyes quickly swept across the remaining players, and finally settled on female player No. 14.
Jiang Xiuxiu remembered that they were teammates before, but they probably met online, and they didn’t feel particularly familiar with each other.
Just now, the female player No. 14 also revealed her “ideas” for the female player No. 2, and was seen by No. 2.
Under normal circumstances, when “voting for the undead”, it is easy for players to choose people they are familiar with or have a relationship with.
Not to mention, this person had shown a trace of malice towards him before.
Although there were almost no players present who didn’t want to vote for No. 2, the gaze from player No. 14 hurt No. 2 more than a stranger.
This made No. 2 even look at other people very much, and his eyes were fixed on No. 14.
Almost without hesitation, Player 2 closed his eyes.
Fortunately, she still had some reason, and it took ten minutes for her to open her eyes until the old man spoke again to remind her.
“I finished silently.” No. 2 said.
“Okay,” the old man said several times in a row, “Now, let the gods decide whether your answer is correct!”
“Do not!!!”
Player No. 14’s expression changed greatly, and he immediately screamed.
But before she could say anything, the surrounding candles began to shake.
The mysterious power in the mirror appeared again, and with the trend of destroying the dead, it slammed the woman into the belly!
The clicking sound when the bones were broken was a bit like the sound of a wild beast chewing greedily.
The fishy smell in the air was so strong that people couldn’t help coughing a few times, and the blood was tightly wrapped in fear, lingering in everyone’s heart like a shadow.
“Congratulations, the gods approved your choice.”
The old man applauded and seemed to be very excited about this scene.
No. 2 heard the words, smiled and said nothing.
She also calmed down, and she was not at a loss if she could pull another person out before she was eliminated.
“The second game is over,” the old man said immediately, “the third round of the game begins.”
After speaking, she picked up the dice again and began to shake it in her palm.
Jiang Xiuxiu has seen through it, and the points that can be cast are always under the control of the old man.
Even when the dice fail, they can be thrown out easily.
From the beginning to the present, except for a few purely accidental throws, most of the time, the old man chose the player intentionally.
It’s just not clear who the old man will choose this time.
boned…
When Jiang Xiuxiu guessed, the old man threw the dice again.
There was no more strange situation, the dice rolled twice and then stopped.
Jiang Xiuxiu took advantage of the candle light and looked at the front of the dice.
One, one, two.
These three numbers add up to 4.
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
Isn’t it her again?
Does this old man have a grudge against her? Why is he staring at her! ?
“What a coincidence, Player 4, it’s your turn again.”
Jiang Xiuxiu raised her head and saw the old man looking at her blankly.
The old man’s two cloudy eyes were full of malice: “Now, please close your eyes, No. 4, and recite the number of the undead in your mind.”
