Chapter 7: Eight-player round table game with voting

He was strangled.

The three pitch-black fingerprints on the neck showed that the murderer's actions were crisp and neat. The gangster's eyeballs protruded, and he looked at Lin Yining with grievances.

Lin Yining saw that there was a bruise on his arm, presumably he had struggled just now. He doesn't seem like someone who is willing to die obediently, so the situation is more terrifying than expected-there is no possibility of struggling and resisting when encountering ghosts.

He stood up, walked over to the bastard, and let his eyes close.

"Now you know the fake mercy?" The referee's childish voice sounded again with malice: "Did I kill him, no, it was obviously you who killed him, you know? Kill two people."

"It's all your fault!" Girl No. 4 slapped her boyfriend hard, and cried loudly, "I told you a long time ago, the house here is not clean, you didn't want to live here for cheap, now we are all going to die , what should I do!"

The boy didn't refute, and pulled his girlfriend into his arms.

"It's halftime now." The referee said, "You can digest all this."

Lin Yining tried his best to calm himself down and looked around.

If you guessed right, this is the living room of a folk house. The walls are painted a fresh light blue, and cultural bricks are pasted on the TV background wall. The soft furnishings in the room are fresh and clean, and the details are full of ingenuity, which is very eye-catching.

Where they are sitting now should be where the dining table should be. He shifted his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the view here is excellent, and this residence should be high-rise.

High-rise, the thirty-third floor

Almost subconsciously, he connected the two threads.

"Dang~dangdangdang~" The referee interrupted Lin Yining's thoughts: "Think it over." He said to everyone: "If you think about it, play the game."

The rest of the seven couldn't help breathing heavily.

"The next clue, when it died there was not only one person." The referee said: "Oh... You should all like this theme, prove to them that you are not a ghost."

The first person to speak this time is No. 2, the middle-aged man just now, he hurriedly said: "I live on the third floor, you should all know me, Xiao... Xiao Lin..." He was referring to Lin Yining: " I helped your dad when he died!"

Indeed, he came over to take advantage of the Lin family's funeral. Lin Yining didn't want to say more on this topic, so don't start.

Number three and number four are the young couple, they live on the same floor as Lin Yining, and they usually seem to be in a good relationship. It was number three who spoke first. He took out the key and certificate from his pocket and threw them on the table.

"My girlfriend and I can prove to each other that we have been together since three o'clock in the afternoon and have never been apart."

His documents were a driver's license and an ID card. The rest of the people circulated the documents to each other, and no one expressed objection.

Wearing the uniform of a delivery man, No. 5 followed No. 3's example and took out his ID from his pocket. He also took out his mobile phone and said, "I have my registration information on the Internet. I did come here after receiving an order." .”

Number three raised his hand, and the referee hummed, motioning for him to speak.

"Which one are you delivering food to?"

Number five said, "401."

"Who opened the door?"

"The door is not closed. I opened the door and came in here." No. 5 motioned them to look at the corner, where there was a lump of noodles. "The order information says Ms. Luo, and the phone number is 1324565423."

Number three raised his hand again, indicating that he had finished asking.

No. 6 is a taciturn otaku. He thought for a while and said, "Go out to throw out the garbage, and the door will be closed when you go home. I don't have any ID or mobile phone with me. I don't know how to prove it."

Next came Number Seven, a gorgeously dressed woman in her early thirties. She took out her ID card from her handbag and pushed it to the middle of the table: "My job is quite special. I often leave early and return late. If I say self-certification..." Her eyes turned around a group of people, and she smiled: "Unintentionally I bumped into him once, brother number two should have a lot of love."

Number two's face turned pale.

Finally, number eight, Lin Yining.

He opened the phone to the WeChat page and pushed it to the middle: "Proprietor group."

After the eight people had finished speaking, it was time for discussion. The referee did not say a time limit this time.

Number Three was the first to speak, and he asked, "Would you like to vote?"

"Vote, of course you have to vote, one person will die if you vote, and two people will die if you don't vote, why don't you vote?" The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Maybe we will catch who is that ghost?"

"If you don't get caught, are you going to send someone to die?" Girl No. 4 asked loudly.

"Why are you yelling at me? There's nothing you can do about it!" The middle-aged man stood up and scolded back: "You are so kind, then this time you are going to die! You go!"

The girl's boyfriend grabbed her.

The boy's gaze turned to Lin Yining: "Now I want you to explain what you really know."

Lin Yining said, "Have you ever played games? The system means you can't."

"Okay, then I suggest that everyone choose you in this round." The boy said, "If you have to choose someone to sacrifice, you have experience, and the possibility of surviving is greater than others."

Lin Yining said: "If you say that, then I suggest that everyone choose you. What is the intention of someone who has just started the game and wants to kill people with important clues?"

The boy sneered: "Don't change the subject."

"If you can't say it, you can't say it." Lin Yining said indifferently: "Instead of infighting, it's better to analyze the existing clues. I do know number two, you, and number four, so the ghost is more likely to be among the remaining three people. Do you agree?"

"I agree." Seeing that Lin Yining ruled him out, No. 2 hurriedly agreed. Otaku No. 6 said, "I don't agree."

"How do you know, didn't the ghost take over his identity after killing someone?" The otaku said, "You and that thing look very familiar, and I think you are the most suspicious."

"You can't even come up with evidence to prove yourself, are you qualified to say that?" Middle-aged man No. 2 said.

No. 6 took Lin Yining's mobile phone from the table and logged into his account: "If I had known that the group could be used as evidence, I would not have said so."

He logged into his account, which clearly displayed the information in the owner group.

The middle-aged man was speechless.

The topic at the beginning has gone wrong, and now it is no longer analyzing the current situation, but is biting each other, and the scene is in chaos.

After their quarrel, Lin Yining withdrew from the battle. He turned on the tablet and reviewed everyone's speeches.

He is arguably the most dangerous right now. No. 3 has clearly shown dissatisfaction with him, and No. 4 is a girl with no opinions, and she will probably go with her boyfriend. Number two is a fool, sitting next to number three, if he sees that two people have already voted for Lin Yining, he may not follow suit.

It's just because there are six votes in total, and if Lin Yining is chosen by three votes, then he is absolutely safe.

Now, he needs to come up with more convincing evidence to prove himself.

He looked around again. Ghosts are on the 33rd floor, and this is also a high-level building, so does that mean that this is the home of ghosts? Or, is it the ghost's former home

But among the remaining six people, it seems that their temperaments are not so suitable for this house.

So it means that the ghost died here

The wall clock on the wall kept ticking, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening. This is not the time when Lin Yining came in, so what's the point of this time

Suddenly, Lin Yining noticed a detail.

Through the huge French windows, he saw a Ferris wheel.

There are ferris wheels in every city, but this one is the most familiar to him. This building, which can be called the symbol of Jingcheng City, was demolished when he graduated from high school.

"Everyone." Lin Yining stopped their quarrel: "Can I take a look at your mobile phones?"

"Why?" Number Three asked him, "Are you trying to clear your suspicions?"

"Yes..." Lin Yining was about to say something when his words were interrupted. It's the referee.

"Smart idea." The child's voice sounded: "But the time is up, you can carry out this plan in the next game."

The voice this time is different from the illusory one just now, and has a clear direction. Following the sound, Lin Yining's gaze turned to the small table by the French window, where there was a glass water glass with a clear red lip print on it.

"Okay." The referee's voice sounded again, "Please start voting. If you don't vote this time, you will see the ghost directly."

The burnt smell that gradually dissipated surrounded everyone again, making them shiver in fright.

After Lin Yining thought for a while, he wrote down the number seven.

Having failed to prove that he was indeed a little dangerous, he now only hoped that they would not be emotional. The young lovers proved each other, the first to be ruled out, number five's evidence is considered sufficient, and the next to be ruled out, the rest is number two middle-aged man, number six otaku and number seven gorgeous woman. The feeling number two gave him was so familiar that he was convinced that this wretched middle-aged man was himself. Otaku No. 6 logged into the account with more than owner groups. According to his theory, ghosts would not have such a modern game.

After everyone's voting information had been written down, the lights dimmed again. This time was not like last time, it was boundless darkness, more like a cloudy day at two or three o'clock in the morning, the outside was pitch black.

"Let's announce the results of the ballots." The referee said, "The one who got the most votes this time is... Well, that's right, No. 8."

Lin Yining had a premonition about this result, and was not surprised. He observed the expressions of everyone else at this moment.

No. 2 breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the people looked forward indifferently. Only the girl No. 3 seemed a little nervous and guilty, and she was evasive and did not dare to look at Lin Yining.

Lin Yining felt nothing else. When the referee announced the result, he felt he was in a void. It is said that this space is empty because of the silent blackness, which makes it impossible to see the edge.

In such a space, faint flames lit up from the corners, and then burned more and more vigorously, engulfing the entire space. In the flames, a petite figure crawled out from inside.

This ghost is a woman. This was Lin Yining's first reaction, and then the second reaction—so she was burned to death

At first, the ghost crawled very slowly, and then it crawled faster and faster, almost running towards it with flames, screaming from its mouth, which seemed to be in pain and excited.

my bow—

He shouted from the bottom of his heart, but because of the rules of the game, he couldn't even move a finger.

When rushing out of the range of the fire, the female ghost stood up and walked slowly towards Lin Yining. Lin Yining could almost feel the heat on her body. The fat was crackling as it was being burned, and when he thought of the feeling of being touched just now, he suddenly realized.

So it turned out that the person who met him just now was a charred corpse

He even felt a little calm in his heart now. Tried to take out the bow and arrow again, still to no avail. At this time, he bumped into something in his pants pocket.

A small round bead.

What is this

When the fire on the female ghost's body was about to burn the medicine to Lin Yining's body, he suddenly felt his eyes darkened, as if he had changed another space, and when he returned, Lin Yining felt that he could move.

He retreated quickly, and then a broken bow appeared in his hand.

The surrounding flames were continuously absorbed by the bow and arrow, and the female ghost was enraged.

Lin Yining clearly felt that the energy in the bow and arrow was gradually filling up, and gathered from the bow and arrow to his hand, and then—

boom!

The female ghost was blown into pieces.

"Congratulations on your comprehension of the skill, Hydrogen Long Arrow. Skill description: A long arrow made of hydrogen gas may cause a big explosion if there is a spark next to it, but it is usually useless when fired."

"Your painting style has always been very hydrogen~"
