Deadly Game: Live CP

Chapter 163: The Family Tree is the Account Book for Selling Children

The next morning

Ling Jiushi woke up Wu Qi and Li Dongyuan who were sleeping soundly.

Wu Qi was still sleepy when he woke up, "The window is broken, how is the window broken?"

Li Dongyuan woke up immediately after Wu Qi's howl.

"Xiaozhu and Yu Fu both came last night." Ling Jiushi said.

Wu Qi: "Again?"

"We missed it again?" Li Dongyuan still looked unbelievable. He actually slept so soundly again.

"Sometimes deaf people are really lucky. If it wasn't for Xiaoying who thought of the nursery rhyme on the clue at the critical moment, all of us would have died last night." Ling Jiushi said helplessly.

"What if the nursery rhyme is about a dead person?" Wu Qi asked.

"If nursery rhymes can kill people, people in this town won't recite them," said Chen Ying.

Wu Qi sighed that they were really amazing that they could still think of the nursery rhyme at such a dangerous moment.

Ling Jiushi sneered, "I think you are the ones who are the bulls, but you two are sleeping like pigs."

Wu Qi said embarrassedly that actually his sleep quality was quite poor outside, but it might be because he no longer had the pressure of KPL and buying a house after coming here, so he slept well.

"There is a drug component in the oil lamp. It's just like taking sleeping pills. How can you not sleep well?" Chen Ying said.

"Yes, yes, there is also this reason." Wu Qi agreed.

Ling Jiushi looked at Wu Qi speechlessly.

Why couldn't he and Xiaoying fall asleep even though they were in the same room?

"Hey, big guys, why don't we go have breakfast first?" Wu Qi's stomach growled and he said while holding his belly.

"Let's go. I'm hungry too." Chen Ying said.

I barely slept last night and I'm starving.

When we arrived at the lobby, we heard Yan Shihe telling the newlyweds to listen to him, and that something bad would happen if they didn’t.

Someone died again last night.

When Yan Shihe saw the four men, he challenged them and said that he thought they were dead because they came so late.

"Yes, in this world, anyone can die." Li Dongyuan retorted.

At this time, a sound was heard outside, and Yu Fu was dragging the corpse towards the backyard.

Wu Qi looked at this scene and was so scared that he hid behind Ling Jiushi.

"It seems that this man's oil lamp is a life-saving thing. You guys, please don't throw it away." Yan Shihe said, and left with Xiao Qian and the others.

"Who changed the oil lamp and wants us to die?"

"Someone wants us to die here..."

"What should we do?"

The four of them were walking in the corridor and heard the panicked sounds of oil lamps being changed in the rooms.

"Yan Shihe has taken action again." Chen Ying said.

Wu Qi: "Thinking back to what happened last night, Lingling, you guys are really amazing."

"Speaking of last night, it seemed that Yu Fu was not allowed to enter the room, so she let the piglet in, but the piglet was afraid of nursery rhymes. Now we know that there are two taboos. One is that if you don't use the human oil lamp, you will die immediately whether you are awake or asleep. The other is that if you use the human oil lamp, as long as you are still awake, there will be a glimmer of hope. As long as you repeat three nursery rhymes before the piglet enters the room, you can survive." Ling Jiushi analyzed.

Yan Shihe attacked them, so they naturally couldn't just sit there and wait to die. So after Yan Shihe and Xiao Qian left the house, Li Dongyuan took them secretly to their room.

Ling Jiushi looked at the lock and pried it open in a short while.

Chen Ying: Brother Lingling's lock-picking skills are getting more and more proficient, and he's almost catching up with Brother Ruan.

The four people found many human oil lamps in the room. It seemed that Yan Shihe had looted all the lights in everyone's room.

Wu Qi: "This is too much of a piece of shit."

"Brother Lingling." Chen Ying handed the family tree found under the mat to Ling Jiushi.

"Genealogy?"

"Didn't Yan Shihe say that he found a family tree?" Wu Qi leaned over and said.

"Let's install yours first." Ling Jiushi said.

"Brother Ming, please take it. I can't fit it in my pocket." Chen Ying handed it to Wu Qi.

"Okay. Oh no, wouldn't that expose our reason for coming here?"

"Don't forget what we are here for. He has already attacked us. Is he still afraid of a fallout?" Chen Ying said.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Wu Qi said as he stuffed the family tree into his pocket.

The four of them finally took away some oil lamps and hid the rest in a corner.

Chen Ying took advantage of the people's inattention to tamper with the hidden human oil lamp and mixed other oil into the human oil lamp. I don't know if it is still useful.

She deliberately exposed a corner of the hidden oil lamp. If Yan Shihe and the others found it and used it, it would be their own fault.

"Xiaoying, what did you add to those oil lamps?" Ling Jiushi asked on the way back.

Chen Ying: "Brother Lingling, did you see it?"

"Yeah." Ling Jiushi nodded.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. We don't know if it will be useful yet." Chen Ying said.

It is not known whether the impure human oil lamp is effective. It is also not certain whether Yan Shihe will use it.

After returning to the room, they studied the family tree.

"This doesn't look like a family tree. It's so crowded. It looks more like an account book." Ling Jiushi said.

"Ledger, the ledger of child trafficking?" Chen Ying said.

"Yes, you see, these names look familiar. We have seen them on the tablets in the ancestral hall." Ling Jiushi said.

"I have seen a few of them, and they are indeed the names on the tablets." Li Dongyuan said.

"The children were sold, so these are the income," said Li Dongyuan.

"Your idea is too bold." Wu Qi said.

"Can he still raise these children? It shouldn't be easy to hide so many children." Li Dongyuan said.

"It seems that we still have to focus on those missing children and look for clues." Ling Jiushi said.

"Well, let's go after we finish our meal." Wu Qi said while looking at Ling Jiushi.

Ling Jiushi shook his head helplessly, "Okay, let's eat first."

As soon as they went out, they saw Yan Shihe coming back and heading to the room. Wu Qi saw this and hugged his bag tightly like a thief, "Let's go, let's go, let's go."

When Yan Shihe entered the lobby, the four were having dinner.

"Oh, you guys have been staying in the yard all morning?" Yan Shihe walked over.

Ling Jiushi spat to the side and said casually, "There's something dirty, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just asking." Yan Shihe left with a smile.

Li Dongyuan was so angry at Yan Shihe that he was about to attack him, but was stopped by Ling Jiushi.

"Hey brother, were they the ones who took the lamp and the family tree away?" Xiao Qian asked after Yan Shihe and Xiao Qian sat down.

"Who else could it be? Ah? Everyone else in this door is trash, including you. If you weren't unwilling to take the oil lamp and the family tree, there wouldn't be so much trouble." Yan Shihe was obviously angry because of the loss of the oil lamp and the family tree.

"Then, what should we do now?" Xiao Qian asked.

"Haha, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Yan Shihe stared at the direction of Ling Jiushi and the other three with fierce eyes.
