play a game with me

Immediately afterwards, it was Gu Ye's turn to speak, and he ranked last, which belonged to the ticket seat. Gu Ye rationalized his thoughts and decided to be on the safe side, not to grab the prophet, but to pass a message to Xiaoding to confirm his third Guess is correct.

Gu Ye said: "Now there are two prophets on the field, Xiao Ding and Du Ziteng, and they are true and false prophets." Gu Ye paused and continued: "Let's see if anyone retreats first. If not, then I suggest that the two prophets have a PK round (speak again separately)."

Xiao Ding understood Gu Ye's meaning and retreated immediately.

The seat of the prophet was vacant, which just confirmed Gu Ye's third conjecture. He can now basically conclude that Xiaoding's identity is Cupid, and Tan Lin, who is connected with him, is the real prophet.

After everyone has spoken, it is time to vote.

As the only prophet on the field, Du Ziteng successfully ran for the police chief and won the police badge.

The sheriff has the right to return votes, that is, the final concluding speech. This may seem like nothing special, but in fact it has a great impact on the votes of players on the field, especially players with closed eyes.

Du Ziteng is a werewolf, and what he planned in his mind was how to pour dirty water on good people, so his strategy was to follow Ye Tian this round, to blackmail Sophie again, and get a villager out first.

Du Ziteng said: "I have listened to the speeches of the following players, and I think the most interesting one is Sophie's speech. Just like Ye Tian said, she is very strange. While saying that she is in the camp of good people, she is secretly helping the werewolves." Analyze the identity of the people present, so her identity is not very good for me."

Sophie was a little helpless and sighed silently.

Du Ziteng continued: "I voted for Sophie this round, and my second doubt is Zhou Ding, I will test him tonight.

This round of Xiao Ding's practice has become much stronger than before, and being blackmailed by Du Ziteng only made his nostrils round.

Du Ziteng: "I think it's really strange for Zhou Ding and I to dance to the prophet. To be fair, he's the second-to-last position, and there's Gu Ye behind him. You said he wanted to help good people defraud their identities. He wanted to jump at this time." Who to scam? So his identity is not good here, I think the witch can poison him at night, or we can check the situation during the day and vote him out in the second round."

Du Ziteng is a pig teammate at night, that's because his strengths are speaking during the day, as a wolf pretending to be a prophet, Du Ziteng played very well, his thinking is very clear, and he didn't say too much by mistake because of his omniscient werewolf perspective. Too much information, leading to the exposure of the werewolf identity; in addition, when he spoke, he was full of momentum, who was tested in this round, and who will be tested in the next round, one by one, with a firm tone, it is hard to believe that his acting skills are definitely Oscar level of.Judging from these two points alone, it was by no means luck that Du Ziteng survived to the third round.

After Du Ziteng returned the votes, Eddie distributed blank cards to everyone for voting.

With Du Ziteng's guidance, most good people on the field have chosen to believe in the prophet, and Sophie is the only one who has been stepped on. Just like the broken window theory, everyone tends to doubt her.In the final voting results, except for Ye Tian, ​​who was voted by Zheng Zhengzheng, and Du Ziteng, who was voted by Xiaoding, all the other players on the field voted for Sophie.

For this result, Sophie accepted it calmly, curled her lips helplessly, and sighed softly.

Eddie said: "Sophie, you are the first contestant to be voted out during the day, please leave your last words."

"Forget it," Sophie said, "I actually don't want to play this game anymore, but being pushed all the way here, I can only bite the bullet and go down.

"Now I don't want to tell lies. I really want to help everyone see the situation clearly. My identity is a villager. Just now, there are only two people who blackmailed me the most on the field. One is Ye Tian and the other is Du Ziteng. Their identities Obviously, the wolf companions are helping each other, and there are no other prophets on the field, so the true prophet is either dead or no longer on our side. Don't forget, there is still a Cupid on the field.

"Okay..." Sophie straightened her waist and said, "I'm done talking, you can continue."

Eddie nodded slightly to her, then left a white card on the round table, then turned and left.

Everyone is now fully aware of the game and can guess what the cards are, but facing the cards, everyone is still beating drums in their hearts. After all, there are some things that are difficult to master even if they are done many times.

In the end, Zhou Jun stepped forward, picked up the card on the table, and turned it over.His face suddenly changed, his slightly parted lips couldn't read the words on the card for a while, he looked up at the players who were looking at him, then looked down at the card in his hand again, after a while, he finally read: "Death! Location: Elevator; Method of Death: Fall from high altitude."

The floor they were on was the 13th floor, an unlucky number.There is only one elevator in the hotel. At the place where Gu Ye just came up, ten people walked towards the elevator quietly without speaking.

Sophie and Gu Ye walked together. Although they didn't know each other for a long time, Gu Ye was born to get along with others. Among a group of strangers, Sophie got a little closer to him.

Sophie suddenly smiled at Gu Ye, and said, "You may not believe it, but I'm actually very happy to be out so soon this time, because I finally don't have to worry about it anymore."

Gu Ye was slightly taken aback, remembering that he hadn't told Sophie the real situation in the real world.

Sophie continued: "In the game, I always have to worry about being killed, and I also worry about killing others. When I open and close my eyes, I always feel a group of people shaking in front of my eyes, and I don't dare to look in the mirror. I feel that I can't recognize them." It's better now, at least I can sleep soundly, besides..." Sophie smiled more gently, "Besides, I can finally see Sun Yue again now."

Gu Ye opened his mouth, but he couldn't say what was on his lips.Sophie was in a daze immersed in the wonderful bubbles she had woven for herself, and he couldn't bear to burst those bubbles one by one: Actually, Sun Yue was gone, and what was waiting for her was an elevator that unexpectedly malfunctioned...

Gu Ye plucked up his courage, looked at Sophie, and said, "Listen to me."

But Sophie interrupted him and said, "I'm leaving now, you have to listen to me."

She looked at Gu Ye seriously, and said: "I know your strength. I saw it with my own eyes in the last round. I know very well that you must be the one who can go the furthest among us, and you will suffer here. , and more than all of us, so I really don’t need your comfort, but you have to take care of yourself.”

Gu Ye was at a loss for words, he nodded, and finally didn't say what he wanted to tell Sophie.

He felt that it was selfish to be honest at this time, because when he told the truth, he was the one who felt at ease, while Sophie was the one who had no hope.He would rather that Sophie could be happy, and be happy for a longer time.

"After returning to reality," Gu Ye said to Sophie, "Don't take the elevator, even if it's more than ten floors high, you must climb it by yourself, understand? You have to promise me."

Sophie just hummed, not knowing if she listened.

Gu Ye said seriously: "Did you hear that? Don't take the elevator. I have returned to reality, and I know what it looks like there now, so you must listen to my words, and promise me quickly."

Sophie finally took Gu Ye's entrustment seriously. She nodded and said, "Well, I understand. I promise not to take the elevator."

During the conversation, the ten people had already arrived at the entrance of the elevator. At this time, the elevator was wide open, and it looked the same as when they came up, maybe there was still a slight difference, that is, this time the elevator had no doors.

As the police chief, Du Ziteng pressed the down button on the outside of the elevator.

The ropes pulling the elevator climbed up from the downstairs with the characteristic clicking sound of malfunctioning machinery.

The doorless elevator stopped in front of them.

Du Ziteng looked at Sophie and said, "Are you going in by yourself?"

Sophie nodded, she walked in, her shoulders trembled slightly, although she didn't say anything, her fear was palpable.

Du Ziteng is the police chief, and he makes decisions on behalf of other contestants, so he pressed 1 on the elevator floor.The elevator door immediately made a crackling noise. The two doors tried to close, but they couldn't. There was always a gap half a person's width between them. It hit Sophie's face flickeringly.Sophie held on to the handle with both hands to barely stand still. She didn't realize that she was begging for help from her red eyes. Even the courage needed to withdraw voluntarily was far greater than she expected.

Just when Sophie raised her eyes and wanted to ask Gu Ye for help again, her face, together with her body and the elevator, suddenly fell downwards, so fast that Gu Ye had no time to react, and she felt Sophie's face flicker in front of her eyes , and then there was the thumping sound of the elevator colliding with the cableway when it fell. The 13-story building was 80 meters high. It took at least 30 seconds before the loud noise of the final landing came from the ear, and the ground shook.

The elevator falls, and the first round of the game is over.Everyone returned to their respective rooms and began to wait for the next round of new instructions.

Gu Ye sat down on the sofa without turning on the TV.

He found that he couldn't close his eyes, because as soon as he blinked his glasses, he immediately felt that he had flashed back to the scene just now.Sophie's words echoed in his ears from time to time. Sophie spoke of his greatest fear. The longer he stayed in the game, the heavier the crime he carried.

Every round of the game, at least two players are eliminated.If they end the game the fastest way, they minimize sacrifices.However, this round they are divided into three camps, the game process will only be longer, and the fight will be more tragic, until he is the only one left in the end.

At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to end the game as soon as possible. Gu Ye suddenly had a somewhat bold guess—if he could find the key NPC as soon as possible and restore the NPC plot, could their game end early? ?

But this idea lacks a very important objective condition. He needs clues, and it is before the game gives him hints.

An inference without clues is like a mirage without a foundation, and it cannot settle after all.And now the only clue they have is that page number, P.153, but until now, no information about that novel has appeared.Intuition told him that this book would be the key to the game, but he couldn't get it.

Gu Ye couldn't sit still anymore, he decided to take the initiative to attack before the clues were prompted, and he had an intuition that the most likely place for this book to appear was only Zhao Peng's room 1302.

His and Zhao Peng's rooms happened to be separated by a corner. He was the last room in this corridor, and Zhao Peng was the first room in the other corridor.Gu Ye has been to Zhao Peng's room once, and he is quite familiar with the route. Just when he turned the corner, his peripheral vision caught sight of a snow-white skirt.

white, skirt...

Gu Ye's heart tightened suddenly, and the fear he had hidden in the back of his head resurfaced again - that strange girl in the surveillance video.

Gu Ye is not a person who likes to deceive himself. The last time he was able to deceive himself was just an illusion, but at this time, the lie can no longer be fulfilled. What he saw is true, and the girl is real.

Gu Ye hesitated for three seconds. He took a deep breath and prayed silently in his heart. Don't be too horrified. Being scared to death is really an embarrassing way to die.

He walked towards the place where the skirt disappeared, and when he turned the corner, Gu Ye's heart skipped a beat—the girl in white was walking with her back to him.

The girl's steps are very small, not too fast.

Gu Ye followed a step, and at a place about one meter away from the girl, he called softly: "Little sister."

The girl in white stopped. Fortunately, she didn't look back.

Gu Ye tried his best to adjust his breathing rate so that his voice didn't sound trembling, "little sister, why are you here alone? Where's your family?"

The little girl still didn't turn around, but she started to walk forward, and the little girl's thin voice came over, "I came with my dad, I'm looking for my dad, did you see him?"

The little girl's speed suddenly increased, and Gu Ye couldn't keep up at all. He asked, "Who is your father? What does he look like? Tell me, can I help you find it?"

The little girl didn't speak, and didn't turn her head, she just walked straight to the corner ahead.Gu Ye followed quickly, and he almost ran, but the little girl was always a few steps ahead of him. Just before he was about to catch up, the girl turned the corner and entered Gu Ye's blind spot of vision, and when he also turned the corner Suddenly, he bumped into a person.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Gu Ye was almost frightened to death, he saw the man clearly, it turned out that it was Xiao Ding who bumped into him.Gu Ye was also taken aback, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Ding was even more confused. He didn't understand what Gu Ye was talking about. He pointed to the number of the room behind him and said, "This is my room, 1310." Gu Ye realized that before he knew it, he had returned In the corridor in front of his room.

Gu Ye didn't say anything, turned around and left, Xiao Ding immediately grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? In this kind of place, can you stop running around?"

Xiao Ding was also doing it for his own good, but Gu Ye only wanted to find out the truth, "I have something to clarify."

Xiao Ding said: "That's not okay, you are too dangerous alone, just like that just now, if I hadn't heard movement outside, come out to see, who knows what would happen to you?"

Seeing that Gu Ye didn't listen to him, Xiao Ding turned around and went to knock on the door of 1309 next door, which was Tan Linwu. Xiao Ding said, "If you don't listen to me, you should always listen to what this person says."

Gu Ye didn't want to involve Tan Lin, so he said, "You come with me, that's fine."

The two went to 1302 together, and they never met the little girl who was looking for her father along the way.

After arriving at room 1302, Gu Ye found that the door had been opened, and someone had arrived before them.

Gu Ye immediately told Xiao Ding not to speak, and carefully held the doorknob.

At this time, the person inside just opened the door and came out, and the two almost bumped into each other. Gu Ye saw that the person who came out was Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun's expression was a little irritable, and when he saw Gu Ye, he immediately changed into a calm expression.Apparently, he was also acting in private and didn't want to share information with Gu Ye.Zhou Jun deliberately smiled at Gu Ye with a bewitching eight teeth, trying to change the subject, "Hey, Gu Ye, what a coincidence, your hairstyle is very good today, did you blow it yourself?"

However, Gu Ye is not Zhou Jun's superficial cheerleader, and Zhou Jun's set can't be tolerated by him. Gu Ye doesn't go around with Zhou Jun, and directly asks: "Did you find something?"

Zhou Jun's face froze, and he was a master, and he never made a fool of himself.Zhou Jun simply stopped pretending, gritted his teeth and said, "No."

He put his hands on his chest, looked at Gu Ye, and said, "No, I didn't lie to you. Zhao Peng didn't bring the book in at all. Don't waste your efforts."

Gu Ye said: "Then you will find out if you look for it."

Zhou Jun snorted, turned and left.

Xiao Ding and Gu Ye entered the room together, Xiao Ding asked Gu Ye: "Hey, what do you think Zhou Jun said, is it true?"

Gu Ye looked around the room that had been turned upside down by Zhou Jun. It was really turned upside down. Clothes and pants were scattered on the ground, and there were also bed sheets and quilt covers that had been trampled on.The drawers were all taken out, and some of the drawer dividers were nearly split in two; cigarette cases, wine bottles, cigar boxes, and all the corners, whether they could hide a book or not, were all taken apart. Come.

He could even see how Zhou Jun rummaged through the mess just now. He turned through the cabinet in a tempered manner at first, then became more and more anxious, and finally almost became exasperated, wishing to smash everything open to see.

Xiao Ding saw that there was no mess that hadn't been turned over, and said: "But Zhou Jun has looked everywhere, but he can't find it, so where can we look for it? Will Zhao Peng not find it when he enters the game?" Bring his novel?"

Gu Ye looked around again and said, "He must have brought it, but Zhou Jun didn't find it."

Xiao Ding said: "Zhou Jun looks like a smart guy, even if he hasn't been found, it's probably hard to find this thing."

Gu Ye shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Zhou Jun didn't find it because he was looking for it with his own thinking."

The personalities of Zhou Jun and Zhao Peng can be said to be completely opposite. Zhao Peng is unlucky, he can’t do anything well, and he is a failed novelist; Zhou Jun is different. I am absolutely confident that these two people have completely different life experiences and personality traits, and their thinking directions are completely different.

Zhou Jun is looking for it with his own thinking. If he hides something, he will hide it in a cabinet or a box. He is not suspicious, as long as he puts it properly, he can feel at ease. Zhao Peng is different, he is inferior and sensitive, The first thing he considers when hiding is whether he can confirm that he can see it at any time, only under his nose, that is the safest.

So now, Gu Ye stood in Zhao Peng's room, imagining that if he were Zhao Peng, where would he put his most precious things?A place that is afraid of being seen by others, but also the closest to me, a place that I can see and touch at any time...

Gu Ye sat down at the end of Zhao Peng's bed. One-third of a person's life is spent on the bed. If he were Zhao Peng, then every time before going to sleep, he would make sure that his treasure was still there. By his side, only in this way can he feel safe to sleep.

Xiao Ding began to rummage under the bed and said, "Is it under the bed? There is nothing under the bed, too. There is a dead cockroach."

Gu Ye said: "But it won't be far..."

He got up, and suddenly walked towards the pillows at the head of the bed. Zhou Jun turned the two pillows over and threw them aside.Gu Ye opened the zipper of the pillowcase, and there was a good pillow inside, and there was nothing they were looking for.

Gu Ye was a little disappointed, maybe he guessed wrong, he put the pillow back, the pillow was bumped and fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

That can't be the sound the cotton is making, there's something in it.

Gu Ye immediately opened the pillowcase, he shook it, the compact cotton in the pillow core spread out little by little, and a hard thing was gradually revealed.

He took out the pillow and found that the other end of the pillow had been cut open. In the ball of cotton wool, Gu Ye found Zhao Peng's novel "The Rose Hotel Before Dawn".

The book is not too thick, about [-] pages, in hardcover, with a black background on the cover, and a deep red rose in the center, and in the stamen of the rose, there is a silhouette of a hotel hidden under the silhouette in the form of reflection Write the crimson title "The Rose Hotel Before Dawn".

Gu Ye slowly opened the cover, only to see a short thank you letter printed on the title page in italics number three: This book is dedicated to my daughter, you are the light in my life.
