Seven Days, Seven Nights

Chapter 18: Who is afraid of who

Views:

Sur felt that there was something in his words, but the time was short, so he didn't ask questions and continued to focus on important things: "Red paper attracts ghosts, the three of us can't be together for too long."

Ji Heng took out the red paper from his pocket and sneered: "The Ghost King is a good calculus."

Sur hesitated for a moment: "Ghost King... Is he very powerful?"

Ji Heng was looking down at the red paper in his hand, and Trillion answered him: "Regardless of strength, the IQ of the ghost king is generally higher than that of the average kid."

Sur frowned: "The soldiers and the generals are all evenly matched opponents. It's too much to hit me with a little shrimp."

Trillion said with a smile: "In the world of those things, you can only pick soft persimmons."

Sur stressed: "I'm not soft."

"… "

Taking advantage of the moment when Trillion was speechless, Sur whispered to Ji Heng: "If you put things in that box, can you stop the attraction to ghosts?"

After the ghost bone flower was put in, it stopped blooming. It can be seen that the box is not bad, but there was a ghost king before and a host later, so he did not dare to make such a dangerous attempt.

Ji Heng thought for a while: "You can give it a try."

The last person only kept three pieces of red paper, and the rest were all put into the box. Trillion was even more envious when he saw the ghost bone flower.

Just in case, the three of them stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall instead, to ensure that when the Yin spirits gathered, they could also disperse and escape as soon as possible. I still remember when I first arrived, there were still a few crows building their nests on the tree at the door, and now everything was quiet, which made the waiting process extraordinarily painful. At this time, no matter who speaks, the atmosphere may be a little more comfortable.

Trillion doesn't like nonsense, and Ji Heng is not without words. Su Er thought about it and took the lead in breaking the silence: "What do you say ghosts rely on to distinguish people?"

Trillion shook his head, what kind of problem is this

Sur said seriously: "If it depends on the eyes, what if it is a twin who enters the game? Besides, some makeup techniques can also make people look similar."

"… "

Sur: "If A violated the rules, and B made up the appearance of A and secretly swapped rooms with A, in the dark night, the ghost killed B by mistake, is it a major work mistake?"

"… "

Trillion has never thought about this. Every player who enters the game will only think about how to pass the level without violating the rules. Who will discuss how ghosts find people

When he had nothing to say, he couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Ji Heng, the latter said calmly: "Perhaps the difference in personal magnetic field enables ghosts to distinguish."

After a few short conversations, time passed. Trillion breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the possibility of dealing with the past tonight is quite high.

I don't know how long ago, the distant sky can gradually see the blurred outline of the sun, Ji Heng said: "Go to the cemetery."

Xiguang gave people a sense of security, and when everything around him could gradually be seen clearly, Suer also sighed softly. There is no danger, and it is often the luckiest word for players. Unfortunately, the subtle ease that has been raised rarely disappears at the moment of walking to the cemetery.

Shen Jiangbei and Wen Buyu had already reached the entrance one step ahead of them, but they didn't go in.

Ji Heng walked over and said straight to the point: "Everyone keeps one piece of red paper, and the rest will be given to one person."

It looks like there is a choice, but there really isn't. Wen Buyu lost a few of them when he met a ghost before, but Ji Heng had the most at this time. As for the one that Sur hid in Mr. Shuhai's room... Unless you are tired of living, you will take a big risk to get it.

"For whom?" Shen Jiangbei asked for a long time.

Ji Heng looked at Sur: "If you can become the captain of the guard and settle the points, you will have a great advantage. But correspondingly, before the game is cleared, the risk is also the greatest."

Sur didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "I will."

I wasted half a ghost bone flower, and if I only get a pitiful point after customs clearance, it is really unreasonable.

"Then you will be the one."

From beginning to end, Ji Heng did not seek other people's opinions, but just swept his gaze lightly.

Under the silent confrontation, Shen Jiangbei glanced at Trillion who was still hesitating, and gave the order as the captain: "Give it to him."

Unless they have the ability to snatch all the red paper from Ji Heng, it is useless to forcibly keep the existing one.

A few minutes later, Su Er appeared in front of Zhou Linjun's tomb holding a small wad of red paper.

A crack was exposed on the coffin board, and the sound from inside seemed to be resentful because the purpose of killing was not achieved.

Sur: "It's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Silence swept the entire cemetery, and the surrounding leaves were blown into the air making a clattering sound, followed by a gust of wind that stabbed people's skin.

"Okay—" When the wind gradually subsided, the existence in the coffin spoke again: "The next commander of the guard will be you, but... you have to be able to live until that time."

Sur was startled, and could not help frowning. There are still three days until the vote, which means he will be attacked by ghosts every night. While he was still contemplating, the red paper in his hand suddenly turned crimson, and the weight seemed to have increased.

Ji Heng said solemnly, "Leave here first."

As he took a step, Sur looked back at the tombstone, hiding the thoughts in his eyes.

A group of people were walking on the road, Wen Buyu couldn't help but feel a little gloating, but soon his face was ugly. After being chased by ghosts for three consecutive nights, it is unlikely that he will survive. It seems that Li Shouzhang has a better chance of winning. But Ji Heng is here, everything is unknown.

Without continuing to get together, Su Er and Ji Heng took the first step.

Trillion stared at the backs of the two and thought deeply: "How to choose?"

The voting and the announcement of the results are not real-time, and there is still half a day between them, so I am afraid that candidates will have an accident during this half-day.

Shen Jiangbei glanced at Wen Buyu: "Go to Li Shouzhang's place and make sure that he continues to use the medicine and eliminate other variables."

Wen Buyu nodded.

In any case, the three brothers of the Li family must die, so that they only have to choose between Sur and Li Shouzhang.

Trillion said: "I will go around the street and continue to pay attention to whether there are other strong candidates that emerge."

·

In the dark alley, the air is not flowing smoothly, with a dark and damp smell.

Sur rested against the wall, staring at the red paper in his palm: "It may not be safe to keep it in the box."

Ji Heng nodded: "The yin above is heavier, at least several times that of yesterday."

In other words, at night, Sur was a moving target.

Sur seems to have his own plans: "I want to inquire about Zhou Linjun first."

Ji Heng didn't stop it.

Of course, before that, Sur did not forget to write an experience and fulfill his previous promise. Later, he used this as an excuse to visit the house of the chief guard.

"Not bad." Chief Wei was quite satisfied with the extremely exaggerated words above.

"To tell you the truth, I went to the grave yesterday with a lot of emotion. The people in the town are still too kind and willing to bury them."

The chief guard looked disgusted: "It's true that the bones should be burnt to ashes."

Sur lowered his eyes and suddenly said, "Have you heard of Zhou Linjun?"

The chief guard's eyes changed suddenly: "Ask him what to do?"

"Take a warning." Sur said calmly: "The rest of the guilt on the monument is quite detailed, but he only has the word 'stealing'."

Seeing that the other party was refusing to answer, Sur first put on a high hat: "You are the captain of the guard, and you are expected to be familiar with these things."

The chief guard's eyes changed, and he finally sighed: "Zhou Linjun used to be the chief guard."

Sur pretended to be surprised, and Ji Heng looked at each other and asked, "Why have you never heard of it?"

"He's only been the head guard for three days." The head guard said slowly: "I was found out and stole someone else's votes... This happened more than ten years ago. After the incident, Zhou Linjun was beheaded in the ancestral hall. And die as punishment."

Sur: "Then does he still have his family alive?"

Ji Heng looked sideways slightly, this question was somewhat unexpected.

The chief guard nodded: "His mother is very old, and now she lives at the end of the town, and people are a little crazy."

Sur whispered: "It's inevitable that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person to be sad."

The chief guard smiled and sneered: "It's Zhou Linjun who denounced her."

Sur was taken aback.

Chief Guard: "The one who lost the election was the man she loved when she was young, and the old lady was partial."

There are not too many age restrictions for the Minister of Guards to run for election. As long as they are 20 years old, no more than 70 can participate in the election.

In this place where rules are everywhere, Sur is always refreshed with three views over and over again. It was just time for dinner when he came out of the guard's house, Ji Heng: "What would you like to eat?"

Sur did not speak, and out of the corner of the eye caught a familiar figure on the corner of the street. The four eyes were relatively silent and a little embarrassed, he stepped forward, indicating that he was not eavesdropping.

"Shen Jiangbei and Yiyi haven't made a decision yet," Wen Buyu looked at Sur and promised, "But I will vote for you in front of Ji Heng."

She is an opportunist, she chooses to gamble, maybe she can win Ji Heng's favor, but it seems that the other party doesn't care about it.

Wen Buyu twitched the corners of his mouth embarrassedly, changed the subject and asked, "Have you figured out how to deal with tonight?"

Sur nodded.

Beside him, Ji Heng made a rare joke: "Go to the host's room?"

Sur shook his head, that's not a good place to go: "The key point is Zhou Linjun, who has become a ghost and has a strong obsession with rules."

The townspeople here were persecuted to death, only thinking about how to continue to persecute the latecomers with stricter rules. Ironically, it is precisely because of this that the town has not been wiped out by ghosts.

Thinking of this, Sur's eyes flashed: "Remember what was engraved on Zhou Linjun's tombstone?"

Wen Buyu: "steal?"

"There is more important information..." Sur raised his head and said word by word: "Birthday eight characters."

Any stele in the mass grave is engraved with the birth date and guilt in detail.

Wen Buyu became more confused the more he listened.

Sur: "I want to marry Zhou Linjun."

"… "

Pretending to not see the expressions of the other two, Su Er stated his plan: "Find Zhou Linjun's mother, and then find someone to talk to, first with the orders of the parents and then with the words of the matchmaker, if he kills me, that's a big crime that breaks the rules. ."

Wen Buyu's face turned pale with fright: "... Can a ghost agree to marry you?"

Su Er's expression turned cold: "Have you ever seen someone who has a ghost marriage to ask for the opinion of the dead." After a while, he said to Ji Heng, "I don't know much about the ghost marriage process, you have a lot of knowledge, and it will be more important to come to preside over the wedding at that time. safe."

The author has something to say: Ji Heng: I always feel that something is not quite right.
