Infinite Mask Game

The Blessing Plaza was filled with people. The small group of four was inconspicuous among them.

A slightly cold wind passed by from low altitude and flowed into my ankles. The tall and majestic goddess statue overlooks the people at its feet, with an expression of eternal compassion.

Walking closer, the wanderer looked at the woman in a suit and short skirt in front of him: "Who is this?"

"She was introduced by the person who let the camera fall into the water." Guan Shanyue replied.

Even George's name was told by Wei Miao. Previously, they could only use the nickname "the person who dropped the camera into the water", which made them grit their teeth.

Wei Miao greeted him friendly.

Since she had met Guan Shanyue and others from a distance, she easily struck up a conversation with them and appeared as "George's friend".

"George is very guilty of his mistake. He knew you were collecting All Saints' Day candy, so he asked me to come to you. I have a companion who wants to find some people to help. She can use candy as payment."

Poor George didn't know that he was taking the blame again and had an extra friend who "wanted to compensate for the loss of the camera."

Wei Miao once again took advantage of relationship entanglements to find an entry point for her actions.

Facing Wei Miao who came for him on his own initiative, Qingniao had doubts.

"How did you find us so accurately?"

This is a pretty sharp question.

The only people who met George at that time were Guan Shanyue and Zixu. Not to mention the difficulty of finding two people in a haystack in a small town, another bigger question was how Wei Miao could recognize Guan Shanyue and Zixu.

Wei Miao used a smile to cover up the pause in thinking, and the countermeasures in her mind were instantly generated: "This is actually a coincidence. George came with me originally. When we passed by here, I didn't expect to see you at a glance. George felt that it was inconvenient for him to be with you. You met and left first, so I was the only one meeting you."

"Is this so..." Qingniao failed to catch the abnormality in Wei Miao's expression, and her tone was ambiguous.

Blue Bird has no way to falsify this coincidence, because reality does not require logic.

So, they initially accepted Wei Miao's origins and listened to her explanation of Pamela's commission.

The three of them were each caught in a trade-off, and their attitudes towards this were somewhat different.

Blue Bird thought it was worth a try. Their current disadvantage is too great and they must give it a try.

Zixu prefers stability. If something unexpected happened and he was eliminated early, he might as well choose to fight the soul hunters.

Guan Shanyue felt that relying solely on Wei Miao's words would inevitably be biased, and it was best to make a decision after contacting Pamela.

The three waited for the rogue's final vote.

Wanderer is not a person with strong opinions to begin with. His many years of social life have made him accustomed to obeying the strong. Three people and three directions made it difficult for him to think carefully and make decisions.

He was exhausted from waiting near the casino. He wanted to lie down even more.

So he followed his heart and voted for Zixu, whom he disliked, which made the latter's impression of him a little better.

The minority obeys the majority.

Prompted by various conditions, the first alliance between the soul hunters and travelers ended in failure.

Wei Miao found this situation very interesting.

These four people have different personalities and have their own understanding of the game. They cannot be called a team at all.

She felt much more at ease with such a traveler.

Cutting off the thought of dragging the traveler into the water, Wei Miao said goodbye and left in a cool manner.

She will use the next time to continue to expand her advantages.

"I still feel that something is wrong with this person." Qingniao looked at Wei Miao's back thoughtfully.

"Ever since George's incident, I have felt a sense of disobedience." Although no one responded, Qingniao continued to talk on his own.

"It was such a coincidence that what was lost happened to be the crucial camera. George didn't say anything afterwards, and then suddenly a well-meaning compensation came to his door."

Because it was too unlucky to accept... If it were placed in a normal game, Jade Bird would suspect that the Soul Hunters were cheating and tampering with their data.

"She is not like George's friend, but more like an intermediary businessman, who specializes in finding suitable employees and promoting cooperation between the two clients. And the help she introduced was actually a tomb robbing commission. How can her character be so good? I even We all feel that she has bad intentions and is using this commission to trick us."

"Did George sell our information to her?"

When Qingniao told Wei Miao about the tomb robbing commission, her opinion of her plummeted. The nature of the mission was too sinister, although Blue Bird supported the mission rationally.

She accidentally guessed part of the truth, but failed to see through Wei Miao's true identity.

By now, the Soul Hunters had taken a lot more thought than she imagined.

However, because the Traveler side has never been able to grasp the information about the Soul Hunter, and because of the advantages brought by the daytime mechanism, the Traveler side really lacks sufficient vigilance against this mysterious opponent.

All four of them believed that the soul hunter was probably doing his job somewhere.

Zixu didn't comment on Qingniao's guess, and just said: "What should we do now?"

Qingniao crossed his arms and muttered: "Since she can grasp Pamela's commission, she may have more ways to do it."

"Let's follow her!"

Bluebird made a rogue suggestion.

After thinking about it, the other three people actually thought this proposal was a good one.

First, they have now lost the means to obtain candies steadily and have no choice but to take a different approach.

The potential of the task chain has been fully tapped. Except for the wanderer, the other three people have harvested some candy again.

The "intermediary" of unknown origin may have additional high-quality resources.

Second, there are four of them. Isn't it easy to bully Wei Miao alone?

At this moment, the edge of the distant sky gradually showed a layer of orange, interweaving with the light blue sky in gray.

The houses standing on the street cast heavy shadows. Under the dim eaves hung strange pumpkin lanterns, and their evil smiles added a bit of eeriness to the town that was about to sink into the night.

Some pumpkin lanterns were beautifully carved, revealing eight big teeth, sand sculptures and malicious intentions. Some used special candles, and the blue-green flames seemed to be possessed by ghosts. Some wore pink nightcaps, which formed a sharp contrast with the arrogant smile at the corners of their mouths.

A child in a pink and white skeleton costume ran happily in front of Wei Miao, and behind him, the "scarecrow" holding a small pumpkin lantern stumbled and chased him.

The scattered streams of people rushed out from the streets and began to converge, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

There were a large number of travelers near the city gate. In Wei Miao's understanding, they could not find a hotel to stay in the town, and were afraid of the risk of traveling at night, so they left the city at dusk and set off on their way home.

And some of the travelers would stay in the town to participate in the All Saints' Day parade tonight.

The town was more bustling than during the day, and people were busy with their own plans.

Wei Miao was in it, walking aimlessly, and the sense of withdrawal was stronger than ever before.

However, in the chaos, she could still catch some discord.

What did the travelers who followed her stealthily behind her want to do?

She did not look back, but confirmed their outlines with the corner of her eyes, and changed direction without any hindrance, heading towards Waite Street with a purpose.
