Disguised as a Boss in an Escape Game

Chapter 8: Death's Scythe

Views:

Sure enough, there was a diary hidden under the sofa in the hall.

You Xi opened the diary and read it carefully, not letting go of every detail.

Many complex words in the diary were replaced by pinyin. You Xi deduced that the protagonist who wrote this diary was a child no older than seven years old. The diary only recorded 7 days and ended abruptly on Sunday.

But the experience of the protagonist in these 7 days is very thought-provoking and frightening.

On the first day, the owner of the diary wrote that 13 outsiders had come to their house. The kind aunt in the villa let these people in and entertained them with food and drink, but she didn't expect to lure wolves into the house. This group of people stayed in the villa all night, wasted food, and beat the servants in the villa.

The terrified aunt hides the protagonist of the diary in a room.

You Xi roughly guessed that the owner of this diary is Jiang Jiang.

The next day, laughter continued to resound in the villa, but the heavy snow still had no intention of stopping. The road down the mountain was completely blocked. After a day of carnival, the outsiders were told at night that the food was all gone. Finished.

The outsider endured a whole day of hunger and became more and more arrogant and unreasonable.

On the fourth night, the aunt failed to come back, and Jiang Jiang, who was hiding in the dark, also tasted the feeling of being hungry for the first time. But he kept his aunt's words in mind and did not dare to ask the outside world for help.

The diary kept recording until the seventh day. Jiang Jiang, who was dizzy from hunger, finally wrote in the diary:

"I have a small appetite and don't eat much. I want to ask them to take pity on me. Just one bite, one bite is enough."

Yuxi closed the diary, and all the clues were strung together.

The aunt who failed to come back as usual on the fourth day must have been killed by an outsider. And the young Jiang Jiang, who was unbearably hungry, did not wait for the pity of the devil as he wished, and was brutally ended his life by outsiders.

Now, the young Jiang Jiang has turned into a boss, incarnated as an adult. As for the foreign invaders, he will treat them in the same way as others, and let the players kill each other and eat each other.

Yuxi concluded that the best way to play this game is to bury the dead headless ghost in the coffin immediately at dinner on the first day. And in the next few days when there was no food to eat, everyone could hold back their hunger and not eat the corpse of the headless ghost.

However, this kind of gameplay is almost impossible to achieve. There is too little information that players can grasp when they first enter the game, and it is difficult for players to make correct decisions. What's more, everyone is in a state of disunity, and if they are hungry and dizzy, they will eat the corpse secretly regardless of their care, and others will not be able to prevent it.

The second-best way to play is to find a way to let the dead ghost players kill each other, and the remaining living people fight against the enemy together.

However, on the fourth day of the game, the trust between the players has completely collapsed, and it is rare enough not to stab each other. When in danger, everyone wants to hide behind instead of rushing into the battle. Now it is more difficult to unlock the suboptimal gameplay.

Finally, there is a self-sweeping style of play-under the premise of avoiding Jiang Jiang and the aunt's ghost, relying on krypton paper and drugs to resist ghosts and persist for 7 days.

The key to avoiding the rampage of the aunt ghost is not to occupy her coffin, and the key to avoid Jiang Jiang's killing spree is not to hurt the innocent boy Xiao Lu.

You Xi guessed that Xiao Lu symbolized Jiang Jiang in the past, and was a ray of hope hidden in this game. As long as Xiao Lu is still alive, it proves that human nature has not been completely wiped out. On the contrary, if no one protects the weak Xiao Lu, then the boss doesn't have to be polite to this group of players in human skin.

Looking back now, as early as the first day of the game, when eating the last supper, the game had already given obvious hints. There is a traitor among the 13 people, and everyone present may be the murderer. But Xiao Lu who did not appear at the dinner table is absolutely innocent.

You Xi fell into deep thought. The self-sweeping style of playing the snow may be able to pass the level in embarrassment, but this is not what he wants. There must be a different way of playing that is beyond common sense.

The key to breaking the game is stuck between Jiang Jiang and Xiao Lu.

You Xi was thinking hard, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred.

He has a way.

It was late at night again, but this time everyone was in the same room. As midnight approached, Xiao Lu couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep so sleepy, but was woken up by Gu Mian.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu." Gu Mian said, "Is there anyone you want to protect?"

Xiao Lu was thinking in sleepiness: "Brother Gu, Mr. You, Brother Jiang, and Sister Ren..."

Jiang Jiang snorted: "Is there any mistake? Your sister Ren left you aside and ran away when something happened. You still want to protect her?"

Xiao Lu said: "But I know, she also really treats me well."

Jiang Jiang kept silent, and the candlelight flickered in the middle of the night, and it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

First there was a knock on the door in this room, and someone was begging to let him in. But of course his entreaties were not satisfied. Everyone was very sorry for their lives, and no one would open the door for the ghost. So the voice gradually became shrill, full of resentment. The sound of knocking on the door became more and more rude, and in the end it hit the door directly with a bang bang bang.

You Xi took out the kitchen knife again, but this time he stuffed the kitchen knife into Xiao Lu's hand.

Holding the heavy kitchen knife, Xiao Lu almost couldn't stand still.

The fat aunt was surprised and said: "Sir, are you right? Could it be that your so-called trump card is to let Xiao Lu use a kitchen knife to kill ghosts?"

You Xi didn't bother to pay attention to the fat aunt. He leaned against the table and gently encouraged Xiao Lu: "You find a way to persuade Brother Jiang to let him take the knife in your hand."

Xiao Lu showed a puzzled look, but obediently obeyed.

"Brother Jiang." Xiao Lu said, "Let's leave here together. If you can kill the ghost, this knife should be given to you."

Jiang Jiang's face became ugly: "Leave? I'll help you leave, who will help me?"

What he said was too strange. As soon as he said it, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. What does Jiang Jiang mean

Jiang Jiang suddenly changed his face, and Xiao Lu burst into tears in fright. But at this moment, Jiang Jiang took the knife from Xiao Lu's hand as if he couldn't help himself.

Seeing his action, Yuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Despicable!" Jiang Jiang turned his head and roared at You Xi, "You plot against me!"

But Jiang Jiang's hair didn't turn blood red anymore, You Xi knew he had guessed right. It is rare for him to show a sincere smile. There is no unparalleled road. Xiao Lu seems to be the weakest among this group of players, and has no ability to protect himself, but the game also pays attention to the balance of strength.

The little mouse at the bottom of the food chain in Animal Chess can deal with the strongest elephant. Xiao Lu is now that little mouse, and the boss Jiang Jiang is undoubtedly that elephant.

Since Xiao Lu symbolizes Jiang Jiang when he was a child, Jiang Jiang can't go against his "own" wishes anyway, can't he? Xiao Lu asked you to overcome obstacles, so you must be invincible!

You Xi was able to think of this method, not entirely relying on imagination. He recalled the night when he and Jiang Jiang shared the "Wednesday" room. Since Jiang Jiang deliberately opened the window to kill You Xi, why did he go against his original will and swung a knife to reveal his strength when Yu Xi asked him to chop the headless ghost

It's all because, as long as Xiao Lu survives, Jiang Jiang has to stand on the united front with the players on the surface!

But the boss is not a puppet after all, how can he be driven by others? Others use the boss, there is a certain chance that they will be killed by the blackened boss, and the pink hair turning blood red is a sign. The only one who can order the boss is Xiaolu. In order to avoid exposing the relationship between Xiao Lu and Jiang Jiang, the game specially arranges for Xiao Lu to sleep every night. Everything is being carefully planned, just waiting to be discovered by those who are interested.

The door was broken down, and it was contestant No. 1 Fat House Ghost who rushed towards him ferociously. I saw Jiang Jiang raised the knife in his hand and dropped it very neatly, beheading the fat house ghost under his horse. The No. 2 contestant, Shou Ma Gan, waited for an opportunity and attacked Jiang Jiang from behind, but was thrown over his shoulder by Jiang Jiang, KO!

Dr. Liu, the No. 3 contestant who broke in through the window, just smashed the window. Seeing such a tragic scene, he immediately wanted to do the same trick again. Jin Chan escaped from the shell, but accidentally, he was hugged tightly by Gu Mian who suddenly rushed out. Hold your ankles. Contestant No. 3 struggled desperately, but the scythe of death mercilessly harvested him—

The ghost that made everyone terrified was so easily picked up by Jiang Jiang like cutting leeks.

Thinking that they forced Jiang Jiang to make a living sacrifice, the fat aunt, the elite woman, the middle-aged man, and the old man all froze.

You Xi was extremely happy, and rushed forward to give the boss who was similar to a mascot a huge hug!

But it wasn't a happy ending.

Sudden change—

A long tongue suddenly protruded from the door, with a baseball bat wrapped around it. Xiao Lu still had a smile on his face, but was hit hard on the head by the baseball bat, and immediately passed out. Taking advantage of the situation, he threw away the baseball bat, wrapped his tongue around Xiao Lu's waist, and snatched Xiao Lu away with lightning speed.

The aunt and female ghost who brought Youxi afternoon tea on time every day appeared outside the door, Xiao Lu was unconscious in her arms, and her personnel were unknown.

You Xi let go of Jiang Jiang in disbelief, and took a step back.

He frowned: "No, it shouldn't be like this."

No one is occupying the coffin of the aunt ghost, she should not hurt the player. It is even more illegal to attack Xiao Lu without authorization!

At this moment, Jiang Jiang smiled strangely.

"You are very strong. In the past, no one has ever found out that the little boy in the game has anything to do with me. The boys who were involved in the villa always died within two days of the game. Power is facing Goki. No one has ever wanted to protect 8 people from the game like you."

"You almost won. It's a pity that Xiao Lu's life is hanging by a thread and he may die at any time. The game can't judge whether you have successfully cleared the level. Haha, yes, who would have thought that Auntie would feel guilty for me, even if she violated the rules of the game and fought hard. Help me keep you even if I die? Although I can't go against the little boy's wishes, my aunt is not restricted!"

Jiang Jiang's smile became crazy: "Stay here, stay with me forever! As long as you promise, I can show mercy and let these seven little bugs go away."

"Make a choice." Jiang Jiang's voice seemed to come from the dark abyss, ghostly, tempting, "Of course you can leave them and go alone, but does your pride allow you to do so? Look Xiao Lu, how innocent. Look at Gu Mian, who trusts you wholeheartedly. Even if you leave now, everything that happened today will follow you forever, and every time you dream back at midnight, you will hear them talking to you. You cry. Wherever you go, you're in hell, with a conscience tormenting—"

"Stay here, and use you alone for the hope of surviving all of them."
