Star Trace Gate

Villa, first floor.

Ren Ye suddenly felt that this low-key card was still somewhat useful. In the later stages, he could hide his ranking and engage in a sneaky competition.

However, this thing cannot be used today, because the gold coin rewards for the previous two days are very fixed, and everyone can guess roughly how many gold coins each person has. If he uses it, it will attract the attention of these dirty little guys.

Shit, I got something pretty useful on the first try. Should I try again?

Little King Huai felt that his gambling luck was overwhelming, as if he was possessed by Gao Jin. He whispered, "Heavenly Dao, I'm scratching a hair."

[How to play scratch lottery: eight gold coins each time, get a random reward, are you sure you want to play? ]

"determine."

[Ding—You have consumed 8 gold coins, and there are currently 87 left. ]

[Congratulations, you have received the message from the little bald man: The breeze is with you, in the subtle places of life, leaving endless freshness and tranquility. ]

【You have drawn a piece of loneliness. 】

Ren also heard the reminder and instantly broke down: "Fuck you, you lonely bastard, are you trying to scam me? What kind of culture do you have? You can compose poetry as soon as you open your mouth!"

The death of the eight gold coins was quite tragic. Ren Ye was immediately a little upset. He was dissatisfied and shouted almost instinctively: "Come again!"

[Are you sure you want to play? ]

"Not sure." Ren Ye calmed down immediately and realized that he had become a gambler. If he continued playing, he might lose everything. "Goodbye, I don't want to play anymore."

After saying that, he stood up and ran to the second floor.

Upstairs, Xiao Shuai had already arranged the dishes, and everyone returned one by one to prepare to eat.

After Ren Ye sat down, Fatty Tan raised his arms, made a rap gesture with both hands, and said softly: "Everyone be quiet for a moment, I'll say a few words."

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at him and remained silent.

To be honest, Tan Pang's style of play is still very effective against unfamiliar players in unfamiliar star gates.

Giving gifts at the beginning can quickly open up social interactions; taking care of some small things in life, such as buying meals and doing some odd jobs, can also gain everyone's psychological dependence; and these small details can enable him to have the ability to reconcile interpersonal relationships at critical moments. For example, when everyone was discussing early this morning, they were implicitly centered around him.

In this way, he quietly secured the position of captain, became the most popular core member among the team, and was able to boost the team atmosphere.

As the old saying goes, there is always a teacher among three people. Ren also feels that Tan Pang is a charismatic person, and the atmosphere in his own team must be very good.

"There's no wine today, so I'll use water to bring the bar."

Fat Tan picked up the water cup, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "I will just say two things. First, today is the second day we entered this star gate. The time is not long, but everyone has experienced a lot. However, I personally think that today's harvest must be the greatest, but it is not gold coins, clues and props, but trust and atmosphere. Under the pressure of death, we have become more united, and our efforts have begun to be put together, not fighting alone, and this change will be the key for us to get out of this star gate alive. Thank you everyone. Second, you are all awesome. You launched the core secret room mechanism of this star gate in one day. This should be an unprecedented operation, and it should be celebrated!"

"Please raise your glasses with me, to ourselves and to everyone else."

"It's all thanks to the captain's good leadership." Ren also applauded.

"The captain is awesome!" Brother Hong was also very happy.

"Give me another gift."

"Thank you all for your trust." The woman also stood up on her own initiative.

"...!"

After surviving the disaster, everyone felt very relaxed. In a joyful atmosphere, they drank the wine along with water in one gulp.

After a brief celebration, everyone started to eat and chat with each other.

It was not until around eight o'clock in the evening, after everyone had finished their meal and cleaned up the hall, that they all looked at the Puppet-Slaying Sword and the Chaos Poison.

This is the key prop to deal with Song Mingzhe tonight. It must be placed in the right position to maximize the killing efficiency.

Fat Tan looked at the two items with his hands behind his back. After a little perception, he whispered, "The Chaos Poison needs to be ignited with fire, so it's best to put it in a closed space. And this Soul-Slaying Sword will kill anything it sees, so we have to choose a suitable place, preferably with surprise."

The old cadre thought for a moment and said, "We need to close the door on the first floor to ensure that the space is airtight."

"Yes." Ren also agreed: "I personally think that it would be best to ignite the Chaos Poison at 8:25, and then everyone should go back to the room together. After all, Xingmen has reminded us to die at 8:30... What if Song Mingzhe comes as soon as we close the door, and the Chaos Poison hasn't evaporated yet, then it will be difficult to control him."

"Twenty-five is good, I agree." Xiao Shuai nodded.

"Where is the puppet-slaying sword?!" the woman asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly hit upon Brother Hong's expertise.

He looked up at the ceiling. "The top of our heads is a blind spot, and it's a good ambush. I suggest putting it on the roof. The buildings here are round, and Song Mingzhe will have to pass through the hall when he comes up from downstairs. If we put it in the center of the roof, the entire map will be affected."

"Any other opinions?"

"There's nothing wrong with Brother Hong." Xiao Shuai's words carried little weight, so he agreed immediately.

"Let's get started." Fatty Tan called on everyone to move: "Move quickly, we must all get started together in a while."

When the woman heard this, she glanced at him and said, "Yes, we should go in together to avoid any accidents."

"it is good."

As soon as the words fell, the seven people took action instantly. Some went downstairs and closed all the useless doors to block the space; others lay on the long table, chose the most central position on the ceiling, and secretly bought the Puppet-Slaying Sword.

By the time everything was ready, it was already 20:20.

Fatty Tan hid the Chaos Gu in the dark place under the table himself, and turned around and said, "Everyone, light it on the 25th, and then we will return to the room as quickly as possible."

"Yeah, I'm watching." Ren also looked up at the clock on the second floor.

As time passed, everyone felt a little nervous, pursed their lips and kept silent.

Finally, the pointer clicked and pointed to 25 points, and Fat Tan instantly ignited the chaos Gu with a fire talisman.

In a simple wick, a "living thing" that looked like a silkworm pupa was ignited and twitched slightly, but there was no smoke or pungent smell.

"No problem, I can't smell it." Yin Hu sniffed carefully and urged: "Hurry, let's go in."

"Clap!"

Fat Tan immediately stood up and clapped his hands, shouting, "Everyone, take your positions!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone ran to their own doors obediently, like elementary school students returning to the classroom.

Fat Tan also returned to his seat, looked up at everyone, waved his hand and shouted: "Have a good sleep tonight, good night everyone!"

"good night!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Go into the room and wait for the lights to be turned off." Fat Tan waved his hand, seeming to enjoy the feeling of giving orders.

“Bang, bang…!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone opened the door and returned to their rooms.

In the Li room, Ren Ye left a very thin gap in the door and peeped out while waiting.

He wanted to make sure there were no dirty guys in the team, so he opened the door and came out after everyone went back to their rooms.

He observed for 29 minutes and 30 seconds, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that everyone was behaving well.

"Crack!"

At 20:30, the door was closed on time, and all the lights on the second floor were turned off at the same time.

Ren also yawned and suddenly heard a reminder.

[After a day of hard work, you may have gotten closer to the truth. Congratulations, and here is the top three gold coin rankings.]

[The first player, codenamed "Mountain Eagle", room Kun, gold coins: 88. ]

[The second player, codenamed "Qingshan", Xunzi room, gold coins: 88.]

[The third player, codenamed "Sandbag", Lizi room, has 87 gold coins. ]

"Ah."

Ren Ye smiled after hearing this: "The first place goes to Fatty Tan, and the second place goes to Brother Hu. These two are really patient. From yesterday till now, they haven't spent a single gold coin?! It seems that it is really as I calculated. They both received 20 gold coins as rewards yesterday."

"I will run alone for a day so that others can't figure out my gold accumulation. Then I will find an opportunity to use the Low-key Talisman and secretly use others as targets to keep the first place."

His inner plan was very clear, and he let out a sinister smile: "Although we are all friends, there can only be one first place. I have no choice but to choose unfair competition...!"

After saying this, he instantly summoned the Human Emperor Sword and hung it in the room, then sat cross-legged on the bed.

The Human Emperor Sword emits thousands of rays of light, driving away disaster and misfortune, like a divine object.

Ren Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes not looking to the side, just listening to the silence of the abandoned villa.

Every night, it is so quiet here that it is terrifying, as if there are countless noise-canceling earphones on the ears, and any noise can be heard clearly by the ears.

After waiting for a while, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground was finally heard again in the corridor outside the door.

Ren Ye instantly perked up, swallowing his saliva, his ears trembling rapidly.

"what!!!"

At this moment, a man's scream rang out in the silence. It was very harsh and terrifying.

"boom!!"

After a loud noise was heard outside, everything returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Ren Ye continued to eavesdrop carefully, without moving.

About half an hour later, there was still no sound in the corridor.

“Huh… Shit!”

Ren Ye breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and sighed: "The Puppet-Slaying Sword is still the best...!"

When everything was settled, Ren entered into a state of meditation under the illumination of the Human Emperor Sword and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, at six o'clock.

"Squeak!"

The door opened automatically. Ren stretched lazily, walked out of the room, and turned to look around.

There were faint traces of blood on the ground, which looked quite fresh.

In the other rooms, Fat Tan, Yinhu, Brother Hong, Xiaoshuai, the old cadre and others also came out and saw the bloodstains on the ground.

"Damn it... Song Mingzhe was beaten to pieces?!" Xiao Shuai said in surprise, "Half the room is covered in blood...!"

"its not right."

Yinhu was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Fat Tan turned his head and looked at him.

"It smells like blood."

"Fuck, are you blind? The ground is covered in blood, how can there be no smell of blood?!" Xiao Shuai replied.

“No no…no…!”

Yin Hu shook his head frequently, looked around suddenly and said: "Didn't you notice... there's one person missing here?"

Everyone turned their heads to look and froze in place.

"The bloody smell I'm talking about is from the Kan room...!"

After Yinhu said this, he suddenly ran towards Kanzifang.

Everyone followed closely and saw Yinhu push open the door of the Kan room. On the floor of the room, there were densely scattered yellow paper and millet...

Everyone was standing at the door and their scalps went numb instantly when they saw this scene.

Yin Hu rushed into the room, took out a lighting device and looked around, and instantly saw the woman's portrait... quietly placed between two white candles.
