Braving the pouring rain, Gan Yu jumped into the swimming pool where the water level was getting higher and higher, picked up the unconscious ponytail girl, and returned to the castle with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
They have nowhere else to hide.
Even if they knew that "Guan Qiaoqiao" was in the old castle, they had to go back.
Before leaving, Chi Xiaochi looked back at the corpse of the braided man who was being picked up by the staff.
Like a torn sack, he was carried on his shoulders and carried to the side hut along with the props.
The pigtailed man's loose hair was gathered into a bunch by the thick blood and cold rain, dripping blood dripping down.
Chi Xiaochi turned his face away and stopped looking closely.
The living room of the old castle was dead silent. Except for "Guan Qiaoqiao", who got off the play and concentrated on taking a nap, all the people gathered together.
The photo returned to its original position, the girl's lips and teeth were slightly open, and I saw pity in her blank and worried eyes.
But no one dared to look directly at the photo.
The tall and strong woman was curled up on the sofa, her eyes were extremely cold, and her teeth were sore without realizing it.
Hearing the freckled man say that the braided man ran into the rain, she knew that he would not come back, but she held a faint hope, so she only dared to stay in the castle and wait.
… it’s better to wait than to witness.
However, when she heard the news that he was dead, she couldn't help but collapse.
The four of them met online, formed an alliance from the fourth mission, and went all the way here.
Their alliance sounds both playful and unreliable. None of them are smart people. Fortunately, they are not bad luck, and they are united enough to get to where they are today.
The four of them have pulled each other's hind legs, and they have all rescued the person who pulled the hind legs. They are noisy and bumpy, but they are always four people who must be full of tails.
The braided man once joked that he would just see the unlucky guy who didn't get in the eye first, so that everyone couldn't even get a table of mahjong together.
But now no one has the strength to spurn him, and he can't even cry.
The tall woman and the freckled man numb their faces uniformly. The freckled man puts the unconscious ponytail woman to sleep on his lap, and gently wipes her scratched face with a towel.
In the silence, Xi Lou couldn't help but say, "What do you mean by 'malicious' specifically?"
Chi Xiaochi put on the bath towel handed over by Yuan Benshan and let him stay by his side. He fell back on the sofa, his eyelashes were slightly wet and his eyes were cold.
He said: "From the beginning, I was thinking, what is the law of this female ghost killing people."
Since there is only one ghost in the villa, then there should be only one criterion for her to choose the target to kill.
The first unlucky one was Guan Qiaoqiao, who died of mental infestation for three days.
Combining with the mission requirements, Chi Xiaochi guessed that she was purely unlucky, and was favored by the female ghost who came out to pick the role.
However, the death of the pigtail man overturned his idea.
Xi Lou thought of the braided man who had already smashed into rotten watermelon sauce, and he had lingering fears: "Is it because Guan Qiaoqiao and he both wanted to kill the female ghost?"
Guan Qiaoqiao smashed the portrait, and the little braided man suspected that according to the script, he would be the next one to be killed, and he had a prop in his hand that could restrain evil, so he wanted to kill each other.
Chi Xiaochi shook his head: "Don't forget, Guan Qiaoqiao doesn't even know there is a ghost in the photo."
When Xi Lou thought about it, he felt right.
So what are the similarities between her and the pigtail guy
what did she do
Combining the keyword "malicious", Xi Lou suddenly realized after thinking for a moment, and said in unison with Chi Xiaochi: "... Chunyang's eyes."
At that time, she was bent on trying to win Song Chunyang's eyes.
But Xi Lou immediately discovered the abnormality: "No, Yuan Benshan was not at that time-"
Chi Xiaochi added: "It's not just him, but also me. I'm also counting on Guan Qiaoqiao's life."
Chi Xiaochi tapped on his temple: "Remember the time."
Xi Lou: "What time?"
"The time of Guan Qiaoqiao's attack." Chi Xiaochi said, "She returned to the room, and it took about an hour or two to feel that she was being watched."
At that time, the female ghost might have hesitated between Yuan Benshan and Guan Qiaoqiao, and even Chi Xiaochi might be on her watch list.
But after Yuan Benshan gave up the plan to plunder eyes, Guan Qiaoqiao's malice completely overwhelmed them.
If they didn't want to be saved, Guan Qiaoqiao's actions of betraying friends and poaching for their lives would be more than ten times worse than theirs.
People's malice accumulates in her heart, and it is easy to turn into a pool of rotten sludge. The smell of sludge attracts the female ghost, allowing her to find Guan Qiaoqiao and the braided man who wants to kill her.
She didn't just hate the act of "killing ghosts".
What she really hates is "maliciousness" itself.
At the beginning, Song Chunyang was deprived of his eyes, and the female ghost was probably attracted by his deep hatred for Guan Qiaoqiao and Yuan Benshan.
Xi Lou suddenly said: "Isn't it very simple to pass the customs. Just follow the requirements, don't play, don't want anything else, and control yourself not to be malicious..."
Chi Xiaochi asked back, "Simple?"
Nothing in the world is more complex than the structure of the human heart.
At this moment, the ponytail girl let out a long breath and woke up.
Gan Tang moved her lips and asked Chi Xiaochi for advice: Stun again
Chi Xiaochi sighed slightly.
… There are ten days left, what’s the use of always being stunned.
Besides, they still have a show to play.
The ponytail girl covered her head and swayed to get up, gradually recalling what happened before she fainted, but instead of hysterical immediately, she curled herself into a ball, her shoulders trembled, each trembling unspeakably sad.
The freckled man who always had a broken mouth hugged her shoulders and comforted her.
The pain eased away, followed by overwhelming hatred.
She suddenly turned off the sofa and stared at the freckled man: "Where's the dagger."
When her hatred was so strong, she could no longer care about keeping secrets.
The tall and strong woman's face turned pale: "Didn't Brother Liao take it?"
Brother Liao is a small braided man, whose real name is Liao Wu.
The ponytail girl put her wet hair behind her head: "No, he didn't have a dagger in his hand when he ran out—"
Her words reminded herself, and she rushed out without caring whether there was something hidden in the darkness.
When people are in violent mood swings, adrenaline will be secreted rapidly, forgetting fear, and losing their minds at the same time.
A few minutes later, the ponytail girl rushed back soaking wet, followed by a tall woman and a freckled man who also turned into chickens.
She went straight to Chi Xiaochi, raising her hand in a slap-and-slap gesture.
Gan Tang stopped in front of Chi Xiaochi with one step, grabbed her rounded right hand, exerted force with her fingers, and immediately squeezed the ponytail girl's wrist into a creaking sound.
What Gan Tang said was still the intoxicating soft words of Wu Nong: "Don't fight, just say something if you have something to say."
… Compared to her behavior, it can be said to be very unconvincing.
When a woman beats a woman, a man with freckles can't make a mistake. His lips wriggled for a moment. He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but the woman with ponytail twisted her face and said, "Xiulin!"
The freckled man named Zhang Xiulin was shocked.
The dagger was something they used to save their lives. If it was stolen by the other party, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for someone else
And it's just a search...
The freckled man gritted his teeth and said, "Offended", he put his arm away from Gan Tang, and reached out to grab Chi Xiaochi, who was sitting between Gan Yu and Yuan Benshan.
However, his hand was stretched halfway, and Gan Tang, who was still holding the opponent's arm, suddenly threw the ponytail girl out, swept out with one leg, hooked the freckled man's neck, twisted his waist, and took advantage of his strength to sit on the freckled man's shoulders. , the muscles of his legs were tense, and his throat was locked behind him!
The freckled man was terrified, his face turned purple, and he fell backwards uncontrollably.
At the moment of landing, Gan Tang exerted force on his waist and abdomen, bounced off the ground and jumped up, his knees touched the freckled man's rib cage, a strand of hair hung down from the side of his cheek, without the slightest panting.
She said warmly, "offended."
Chi Xiaochi and Xi Lou: ... Oh Huo.
Gan Yu stood up, and her tone was gentle and firm in the same vein as her sister: "Miss Tan, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
The ponytail girl's real name is Tan Yue, she rubbed her painfully pinched wrist, raised her bloodshot eyes, and stared at Chi Xiaochi, wishing she could chew him up and swallow: "What? What else can I say! You are the ones who stole our daggers!"
Chi Xiaochi raised his eyebrows and asked Zhang Xiulin, the freckled man, "The dagger is what you call the 'secret weapon'?"
Zhang Xiulin grimaced.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? From the beginning to the end, you fooled us around!" Tan Yue said angrily, "Are you blind?! Why are you pretending to be blind?"
Chi Xiaochi sighed softly.
The four-corner game just now had an impact on his spirit, so that there was a flaw.
His two instinctive "don't look" to Tan Yue exposed the fact that he was hiding.
Yuan Benshan told him to pretend to be blind because he wanted to monopolize him in the mission world. After all, no one would be willing to team up with a blind man, they would just stay away, then they could share information with confidence.
And Chi Xiaochi continued to pretend to be blind after taking over this body, because this mission world used Song Chunyang's real name.
Unless all four people in this world except Chi Xiaochi are dead, once they know that he has a pair of yin and yang eyes and spread it out, Song Chunyang is afraid that the rest of his life will be finished.
But if there is ambiguity, or a tough attitude, things will only get worse.
Internal disintegration, hostility increases, vicious circle, and more people will die.
Seeing that the tense atmosphere was over, Xi Lou finally wanted to understand the difficulty of this world.
When they are acting, even if they repeatedly remind themselves to be loyal to their characters and act seriously, they are always worried that if the characters they play die, whether they will die in reality as well. Give it a try.
Liao Wu, the braided man, is the best example.
Besides, even if Chi Xiaochi said the mechanism of this world now, would anyone believe it
Who dares to take his own life to test whether the inference is correct
If they die in the movie, they really die.
Not to mention that Liao Wu just died in the way of the hero of the movie. As soon as the dagger disappeared and the act of being blind was revealed, Chi Xiaochi's trust value in front of Tan Yue and the others had dropped to the bottom.
One ring after another, in the end the sand castle collapses, everyone is in danger, the more malicious they are, the faster they die.
The eighth world tests the most unpredictable human nature.
Xi Lou thought of Chi Xiaochi's rhetorical question.
… "Simple?"
It's really not easy at all.
It takes years and years of careful management to build trust, but it only takes a few ant nests to destroy it.
Xi Lou's throat twitched, thinking frantically about how Chi Xiaochi should deal with it now.
Chi Xiaochi said quietly: "Loulou, are you particularly nervous?"
Xi Lou was about to get angry: "You are still in the mood to talk about this at this time!"
Chi Xiaochi said, "I just need to say two words and do one thing to calm them down. Do you believe it?"
Xi Lou: "..." What kind of magic tone is this.
After speaking, Chi Xiaochi raised his head to look at Tan Yue, reached out and said calmly, "Because I can see the qi in a person.... Death qi."
Chi Xiaochi took off the beauty contact on his right side, revealing an amber eyeball.
This strange-colored pupil is really mysterious and very persuasive. How many people have been deceived by Song Chunyang's eyes since childhood, and sincerely think that he is really well-informed.
Tan Yue was dumbfounded and looked at each other with Zhang Xiulin and the tall and strong girl Qiu Mingming.
Chi Xiaochi pointed to Tan Yue: "For example, now, you are more deadly than anyone else."
Xi Lou was suddenly bright, and he secretly snorted.
Sure enough, the brightest lies are always half-truths.
With two words and one action, Chi Xiaochi really calmed them down.
Tan Yue was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Chi Xiaochi retorted: "I'm afraid I don't have the obligation to advertise this kind of thing from the beginning. Besides, this skill has no positive effect, it can only be reminded before the tragedy happens."
"Then why don't you remind Liao—"
"I went to Mr. Liao this afternoon." Chi Xiaochi interrupted her, "He told me to get out. ... Miss Tan, you should have heard."
In the afternoon, Chi Xiaochi did look for Liao Wu during his break, reminding him not to kill.
But Liao Wu was restless and roared to let him go. Tan Yue, who went to get water, didn't know why, but came over to mediate a few words.
… At that time, Liao Wu's spirit had been eroded so deeply that there was no cure.
Tan Yue's face gradually turned pale, and she sat down with her face covered, as if her spine had been ripped off.
Chi Xiaochi put on her pupils again, put on a bath towel and sat back in place: "If you suspect that we have taken your secret weapon, you can search your body. I don't even know what your secret weapon is. After Liao Wu ran out , I and you, Dr. Gan and Tangtang chased out together, and went back together. Lao Yuan and your two companions stayed in the castle. We don't have time to get any of your daggers."
It took a while for Tan Yue to remember what Chi Xiaochi had just said. She raised her head and her lips trembled faintly: "You said, I have death energy in me..."
Chi Xiaochi sighed.
This sigh made Tan Yue get goosebumps all over.
Chi Xiaochi didn't answer this question, but instead threw another question: "Liao Wu planned to attack 'Guan Qiaoqiao' during filming. Think about it, at that time, who was closest to Liao Wu?"
There was silence in the living room.
Thinking of that possibility, Tan Yue and the others all looked like they were crumbling and looking like golden paper.
Chi Xiaochi added lightly: "It's possible that she took your things. She knows that you are going to kill her."
Chi Xiaochi was really good at this kind of combo, and after some induction, they all calmed down.
The dead are gone, and the living still need to think about themselves and others.
what to do? They have no weapons in their hands, and their purpose may have been known by "Guan Qiaoqiao"...
... What Chi Xiaochi wants is their state of being without a master.
Only then can they listen to their words.
Chi Xiaochi followed the trend and explained his own speculation.
He didn't mention Guan Qiaoqiao, but only said that if he was malicious to the female ghost, it might lead to disaster.
He came out and said that he had thought of killing "Guan Qiaoqiao" when he was filming this morning, and the reaction of "Guan Qiaoqiao" made Chi Xiaochi suspicious at that time.
When they were mentally fragile, what Chi Xiaochi instilled in them was enough to make them believe it.
The three lost their companions, and once again lost their indignant strength. After digesting the information provided by Chi Xiaochi, Mumu stood up and took a rest.
Chi Xiaochi leaned against the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, squinting like a tired cat.
After confirming that the person was gone, he stretched out his hand towards Gan Tang.
Gan Tang nodded slightly, stepped out of the castle gate, and lifted the unlocked lid of the mottled postbox.
Yuan Benshan on the side opened his eyes wide.
Gan Tang took out the broken dagger full of curse lines from the mailbox.
Even Xi Lou couldn't hide his shock: "When did she—"
Chi Xiaochi said, "I noticed that before Liao Wu ran away, something dropped in the earthworm swarm."
Gan Tang said softly: "Zhang Xiulin and Qiu Mingming didn't dare to look at the group of earthworms, they came to the living room from the second floor, I ran at the end, turned into the group of earthworms, picked up the things, hid them on their bodies, and waited until they entered the castle. , and put it here for the time being."
When she went there, the ponytail girl Tan Yue focused on her ally Brother Liao, and naturally she didn't notice that Gan Tang had disappeared for a short period of time.
When the four of them returned, Zhang Xiulin and Qiu Mingming, who were waiting in the castle, focused all their energy on the news of Brother Liao's death and Tan Yue, who had fainted.
… a perfect use of time lag and psychological blind spots.
Xi Lou asked Chi Xiaochi in surprise: "... When did you discuss this plan with her?"
Chi Xiaochi smiled.
He didn't discuss a word, but he gave her a look when he went downstairs, and a gesture of picking up something.
This is probably the so-called tacit understanding.
Yuan Benshan didn't expect Chi Xiaochi to keep this hand, and smiled brightly: "Chunyang, you are amazing!"
Chi Xiaochi smiled with great effort: "Dagger, let me here first."
Yuan Benshan hesitated a little, and glanced at the Gan brothers and sisters out of the corner of his eyes, obviously not at ease: "Why don't you put it with me?"
Chi Xiaochi was noncommittal: "Lao Yuan, we can't keep this thing. This is a life-saving charm that someone else got. When I leave this world, I will find a way to return it to them."
Hearing this, the muscles on Yuan Benshan's face twisted slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Chunyang, you are too... kind."
Actually what he meant to say was childish.
When you have something in hand, why should you return it
"We're only keeping it temporarily." Chi Xiaochi pretended not to understand his overtones and said softly, "Weapons will give them the courage to resist, but now they just need to act well."
After this evening, Xi Lou really admired Chi Xiaochi.
Observation, summarization, and quick wit in dealing with crises, controlled the audience's words, allowing him to easily capture the hearts of everyone.
The eighth world is based on cowardice in human nature, and Chi Xiaochi was able to directly reverse this cowardice, suppressing everyone's eagerness to kill.
Chi Xiaochi was really tired, he staggered to his feet, but one leg fell back to Gan Yu.
Gan Yu kept her distance from him, only to realize that his lips were unusually white, and his face was red.
… The rain, fright, and emotional tension, a series of frights directly caused him to catch a cold and hit the street.
He put his hot forehead against Gan Yu's shoulder, coveting the cool body temperature.
Yuan Benshan's anxiously asking "what's the matter" gradually drifted away. The only sound in his ears was the thumping heartbeat of the person in front of him, as if it coincided with his heart rate.
Boom boom, boom boom.
Gan Yu was in pain and anxious, and rushed out in a hurry: "Little—"
The confidentiality mechanism was activated immediately, and he couldn't pronounce the last word at all.
He finally gave up, hugged him in his arms, and sighed helplessly and distressed.
… You.
