During the time when Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, and the twins of the Fan family were planning how to set up Chief Yan's sack, the identity of the "ghost" among the participants had already been passed on three times.
The one who was randomly selected as a "ghost" at the beginning was the participant named "Huo C", nicknamed Tu Xingsun.
He is a member of the gang "Compass", and there are two other members in the same team, one of them is an old acquaintance Ji Thrush and the others have met - the headhunter Zhao Zhui who is in charge of recruiting newcomers.
In fact, in terms of strength and experience, Zhao Zhui and his two companions are considered veterans in the B-level difficulty "world".
And during the initial period of the "hide and seek" game, they were lucky-neither one person was selected as a "ghost", nor did they conflict with other participants.
It's a pity that in the third round, Tu Xingsun was called out by the soft and sticky young voice. As a last resort, they had to find a bad guy as a substitute as soon as possible.
As a headhunter in a large gang with hundreds of people, Zhao Zhui can say without hesitation that he can at least recognize the faces of the current group of participants who are still in the F-level and B-level difficulty. Eighty to ninety percent.
So, in the first hour of the game, Zhao Zhui did nothing but put on a clown mask, mixed in with the monsters, and focused on looking for people he could recognize in the mansion, And keep an eye on the movements of every participant as much as possible.
After Tu Xingsun became a "ghost", Zhao Zhui immediately focused on Ji Thrush who had just returned to the main hall, and made a decisive decision to let his team members take advantage of the chaos to attack him.
It's a pity that the soldiers looked at each other with admiration for three days. Ji Xiaoniao's acuity and fighting power far exceeded Zhao Zhui's expectations. Tu Xingsun didn't even touch the target's clothes, and he fell directly. flew out.
As a last resort, they had to retreat quickly and find another way.
However, they were close to the dead line for two consecutive times, and they still failed to find a suitable target to attack, so they could only transfer their identities within the team.
Tu Xingsun first passed the "ghost" to the team member named "Huo Yi", a beautiful girl nicknamed "Tide", and then Tide passed it to Zhao Zhui.
Now that the ugly time has passed, the time displayed on the participants' watches is 02:13:16 in the middle of the night, and eleven minutes have passed since the last time their identities were passed on.
Zhao Zhui and the three of them were very anxious.
If they can't find a suitable scapegoat again, they will start passing each other the second round.
"It seems that we can only take risks..."
00:15:24, Mo Tiangen heard the boy's soft nasal voice coming from his ear.
[Huo Jia passes on the identity of [Ghost] to Huo C.]
— This is already the third trip!
Mo Tiangen thought in his heart.
Since the identity of the "ghost" fell to the head of the fire group, three times in a row, this group of people only passed each other internally, as if the three of them didn't intend to trouble the other participants at all.
Moreover, if he remembers correctly, "Huojia" is already acting as a "ghost" for the second time, as long as he does it again, that person will have to be eliminated on the spot.
At this time, Mo Tiangen was holding a lantern in his left hand and a diamond hammer in his right hand, patrolling the garden with another monster.
Because his identity is a nursing home, he has the convenience of being able to move around in the house at will.
It's a pity that they had to be in a team of two. In order not to arouse suspicion, when Mo Tiangen wanted to do something, he had to be very careful not to let his companions notice.
About half an hour ago, a little demon found a dripping blood in the garden of the side courtyard. It dipped its finger in some and tasted it. smell.
So the goblin excitedly reported his discovery to the manager surnamed Yan.
After learning that there were still human beings hiding in the house, Director Yan immediately recruited the new head of the Nursing House, who had just taken office, and asked him to lead his staff to check the house.
Then, in the next hour, Mr. Dagen generously mingled among a group of monsters, and together with them "searched" for a human hiding in the house.
It wasn't until Mo Tiangen was able to walk freely in the mansion for the reason of "patrol", that Mo Tiangen really realized how big the mansion really is.
There are seven large and small courtyards that are connected to each other. Forty or fifty nursing courtyards are scattered, and there are only a few people in each place.
Mo Tiangen was thinking, if any of the performers really found a hidden corner to hide, they might not be able to find them out...
…
Just as Mr. Dagen was walking along the veranda of the fish pond, thinking about how to pass the damn hide-and-seek game, he suddenly heard a woman's voice, not shrill but very high-pitched .
This voice was so abrupt, it was like a vocal music student hanging his voice on the balcony early in the morning, it could scare people to death.
However, before Mo Tiangen could think about it, the pool under his feet suddenly turned into a two-meter wave out of thin air, covering his head and face, and slapped him and the monster next to him.
Both of them were overturned to the ground by the unexpected big wave.
The monster beside him didn't know if he was directly knocked out by the wave, and fell silent for a moment, and rolled into the fish pond with a "gudong".
Before falling into the water, Mr. Dagen used both hands and feet to hang himself on the railing, so as not to fall into the pool.
It's just that, the lantern that Mo Tiangen was carrying in his hand had long since dropped to the ground, the candle was toppled over, and was then extinguished by water.
The covered bridge suddenly became dark, and there were shadows all around, like a city of ghosts and ghosts.
Mo Tiangen didn't dare to hesitate, raised his hand to wipe off the water stains on his eyelids, jumped up and looked around, trying to find the person who attacked him.
However, in the next second, something happened that he didn't expect at all, and it happened suddenly!
At this time, Teacher Dagen was only about ten steps away from the exit of the covered bridge.
At the exit of the covered bridge, two beautifully carved lotus columns were erected symmetrically. After the light source on the bridge was extinguished by water, the lotus column on the left was illuminated by a distant lantern and dragged out a long The shadow was projected obliquely to Mr. Dagen's feet.
It was this ordinary pillar shadow that suddenly moved.
Like some kind of living mollusk, it quietly extended, elongated, and deformed, abruptly arched from the floor, materialized into a long black whip, and suddenly wrapped around Mo Tiangen's left foot ankle.
"Wow!!"
Teacher Dagen only had time to let out a scream, and was suddenly dragged by the shadow wrapped around his feet, and the whole person flew out. After drawing a heavy parabola in midair, he fell face down with a "poof" Into a lawn.
"Jile!"
Mo Tiangen was about to be confused by this series of changes, he only knew that he must have encountered an attack from other participants, and he had to fight back before the other party attacked again.
He tried to turn over and jump up, but just as his hands reached the ground, the hard mud under his palms suddenly turned into a pulpy swamp, sinking both of his arms in an instant.
"!?"
Immediately afterwards, not only his arms, but also the ground supporting his knees and feet suddenly became soft and muddy without warning.
Mo Tiangen opened his eyes wide.
Half of his body was sunk in the mud puddle that suddenly appeared, he had nowhere to focus, he couldn't move, except for his head, his arms and legs couldn't move.
"Hurry up! Do it now!"
He heard someone urging anxiously.
Immediately, a hand came over from behind him and pressed firmly on his back.
"I got you!"
Mo Tiangen heard a strange man's voice say so.
Immediately afterwards, every participant heard the soft and sticky boyish voice again:
[Huo Bing passed on the identity of [Ghost] to Jin Bing.]
&&& &&& &&&
"what!"
Ji Thrush let out a low scream when he heard the new reminder.
He immediately looked down at his watch.
The time shown above is 02:25:32.
"Did you hear it?"
Ji Thrush turned to look at Ren Jianmo, the worry on his face couldn't be more obvious.
"Ok."
Ren Jianmo replied softly.
Of course he knew what Ji Thrush was worried about.
But they couldn't go to Mo Tiangen now, because they were lying on the ambush point they had chosen a long time ago, watching from a distance that Manager Yan led four followers like bodyguards, walking towards the Tongtian Pavilion in the backyard.
Just now, Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, and the Fan family siblings had tossed around the house, leaving many traces of "human beings" coming and going freely. Finally, after burning down a few inverted houses in the side courtyard, they were forced to Director Deyan was so annoyed that he decided to personally report to King Wutong what happened at the banquet tonight.
"You have to trust Mo Tiangen."
Ren Jianmo looked at Ji Thrush's serious face, and lowered his voice to comfort him.
Ji Thrush pursed his lips tightly and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"We're almost there."
Ji Xiaoniao refocused on Director Yan who was getting closer and closer, and whispered, "I wonder if Xiaohe and Xiaolu are ready."
Ren Jianmo raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly.
He didn't answer Ji-thrush's question, but took out a palm-sized gadget from his arms and stuffed it into Ji-thrush's hand.
Ji Thrush: "???"
He looked down and found that what he was holding was a weird machine the size of a palm, which looked like a miniature gastronomy machine, and the glass case was filled with small red and blue beads.
Just as Ji Xiaoniao was about to ask what it was, she saw Ren Jianmo raise an index finger in a gesture of silence.
"Come on, hold out your hand."
Ren Jianmo spread his hands towards him.
Like a well-trained Labrador, Ji Thrush immediately put his hand on Ren Jianmo's.
Ren Jianmo quickly stroked Ji Thrush's palm with the fingertip of his other hand.
Before he felt the pain, there was a bloodstain on Ji Thrush's palm.
Ren Jianmo instructed him to wipe the blood on his hands onto the strange machine, and then turn the knob in the middle.
There were only three soft "clicks", and a bead rolled out from the outlet under the knob.
