The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

The living room was large and fan-shaped, and there were three large windows on the wall opposite them, all with curtains drawn.There was no light coming in, and it was very dark here, and Nian Weiji and Wei Zixu had to keep their eyes wide open to adapt to the darkness, while the sharp-eyed Marquis of Jin pointed to the second window and said, "Over there, look, there is a pair of shoes under the curtain. "

Nian Weiji looked in the direction that Marquis Jin pointed, and a pair of leather shoes were exposed under the curtain.

[The "reconnaissance" is successful, and a mark is obtained. 】

Unexpectedly, because his senses were too sensitive, Marquis Jin did not pass the roll point, but was judged to be automatically successful in [investigation].Marquis Jin scored two points in a row, Wei Zixu couldn't sit still anymore, he asked the curtain: "Who is hiding behind the curtain? We have found you, come out now."

"Uh..." Jin Hou said in a low voice, "Let's just open the curtains and have a look." He stepped forward and reached out to open the curtains, but suddenly he lowered his head and said, "Why are the shoelaces untied..." He dawdled Bend down to tie your shoelaces.

Wei Zixu and Nian Wei couldn't wait for him to tie his shoelaces, Wei Zixu gave a "tsk", stepped over Jinhou, and opened the curtains directly.

The moment the curtains were pulled open, pale moonlight shone into the room, and a man's body was dangling on a rope.His bare feet were about two centimeters above the ground, and he was wearing a pirate suit. His face was pale, his dull eyes bulged outward, and a purple swollen tongue stuck out.His shoes and socks were neatly arranged beneath his body.

Wei Zixu stood in front of the hanged body with a surprised expression.At the end of the year, Wei Zixu thought that Wei Zixu would not be frightened by the projection. It seems that this kind of sanity test is a game setting, and people who see the terrifying scene for the first time will be forced to deduct their sanity points.As for the impact of the loss of sanity, they don't know yet, they can only make the loss of sanity as little as possible.

"I know this man. He is Algamon Chambers, a theater critic." Nian Weiji said, looking at the corpse.

An hour ago, Nian Wei had just chatted with Algamon. At that time, Algamon arrogantly said that Carmichael invited him to the dinner because he hoped that he would give a good review of the new play.It now appears that the opposite is true, and that Algamon was retaliated for criticizing Carmichael's play.

"Algamon wrote a comment criticizing Carmichael before, I remember seeing it in the newspaper." Jin Hou recalled: "Sure enough, Carmichael didn't invite him out of good intentions."

A light spot appeared on Jinhou's wrist, and he got another mark.

"Huh?" Nian Weiji looked at Jinhou's wrist and suddenly re-recognized the rules of the game.This is a game and not just a game. Sometimes they need to immerse themselves in the role they play, and sometimes they have to express it as a player. After all, the director can't read minds. Although he thought of the same thing as Jinhou in advance The content, but if he didn't say it, the director didn't think he made a reasoning to promote the plot.

From now on, he has to focus more on the game.

To Nian Weiji's surprise, two hours after the game started, Marquis Jin has already adapted to this game mode very well.He glanced back, Jinhou happened to be looking at him too, their eyes met, Jinhou hooked the corners of his mouth, and calmly looked away.

That expression resembled Jin Jue very much.

Wei Zixu observed Algamon's corpse carefully, but unfortunately there was no real corpse for him to examine, and the projection was only a surface. The only thing that was certain was that Algamon was murdered during the period when the hide-and-seek began.

There was nothing unusual in the living room except Algamon's body. Mick still didn't respond, Wei Zixu and the others withdrew from the living room and went to the ballroom through the tea room, because only human voices could be heard from the ballroom.

The chandelier in the ballroom was extinguished, and only a few silver candlesticks were left on the table. Cold meals and champagne were sparsely scattered, and the servants could not be seen. Perhaps these plates were placed by the guests themselves.Decorative ribbons were spread all over the floor, and when Wei Zixu and the others hurried past, the air current caused them to hover over the polished floor.

The guests who were caught at the beginning gathered together in twos and threes to chat, guessing what kind of punishment there would be.The elegant piano sound echoed in the ballroom, but the grand piano in the corner was not lifted for practice.

"Hey, do you know that Algamon was killed? He was hanged in the living room, have you found any suspicious people—" Jin Hou stepped forward to ask, and the drunk guests didn't believe his words, and laughed and scattered up.Marquis Jin was still planning to continue asking someone, when a woman's exclamation came from the corridor.

They were very familiar with that voice, it was Qin Guican's cry.

They ran out of the ballroom and saw Qin Guican slumped on the ground, rubbing her hands against the railing of the corridor, while Chen Luyao was trying to comfort her by supporting her shoulders.

【调查员受到惊吓，损失0/1D3的理智损失。roll点结果为1，珍妮弗损失1点理智值。】

What scared Qin Guican came from a sofa outside the wall of the ballroom.Nian Weiji looked at the old-fashioned leather sofa, with its back facing them, a woman in angel costume was leaning on the back of the sofa with her arms crossed, smiling at them.

"Miss Jessica?" Wei Zixu asked.

Jessica smiled at them without moving.Wei Zixu frowned, walked slowly towards Jessica, and at the same time said to the director: "I'm mentally prepared to see a terrible scene this time, and I won't lose my sanity anymore."

Wei Zixu stood in front of the sofa for a while, and after making sure that he would not lose his sanity points, he signaled for them to pass before the end of the year.Jessica was dead, hollowed out from the bottom of her torso, her intestines dripping on the sofa cushions, glistening in the dim light of the ballroom.The corners of her mouth were cut to the base of her ears, and her smile spread across the width of her face.

"Oh, I remember that Jessica once refused to act in Carmichael's play. This may be the only clue related to her death." Nian Weiji said first.

Nian Wei has received a badge, which seems to be a useful clue.

"Why are you here?" Chen Luyao asked while helping Qin Guican up.

"We walked around and just returned to the second floor." Nian Weiji said, "Where did you go before, I didn't see you at all."

Chen Luyao: "After the hide-and-seek started, we tried to go out of the gate and leave the house, but it was like hitting a ghost and hitting a wall. Walking in the direction of the gate, we always returned to the corridor. In addition, instead of turning off the lights, we were blocked. The power was artificially cut off. I checked the fuse box on the first floor and it was fine, but in the basement I saw that the emergency generator had been cut off the line... I think, someone is deliberately creating a panic."

Chen Luyao got a mark.

"Anyway," Nian Weiji said, "after these things happened, we have enough reasons to go to Carmichael for an explanation."

Qin Guican grabbed Chen Luyao's arm and stood up, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Carmichael walked out of the ballroom after counting 50, and I haven't seen him since then."

Nian Wei: "So do we. But I met someone on the third floor just now, it is very likely to be Carmichael. He walked towards the back of the house. If we block him now, maybe we can still catch up."

At the end of the year, he folded his arms, and there happened to be a hard pillar behind him, so he leaned against the pillar to rest.He had just leaned against the pillar comfortably when he suddenly thought of the pillar in the middle of the corridor. When he turned his head, he saw two eyeballs on the surface of the pillar squinting at him.

"Ah! What?!"

Nian Weiji let out a loud cry, and the four people around him took a step back in shock.

Jin, who was being treated as a pillar, was also taken aback, bowed and raised his fist.

"Jin, is that you?" Nian Wei has identified carefully: "Oh my god, you are wearing a black suit with your skin color, you can't recognize it in such a dark environment, okay?"

While Nian Weiji was only surprised by Jin's sudden appearance behind him, the others clearly thought of something more. Jin's dark skin can completely blend into the darkness. She came to them just now without making a sound, and even Marquis Jin didn't notice it at all.If she stretched out her hands neatly and twisted Nian Weiji's neck like she did with Xu Qixiang on the first day, then Nian Weiji would be terribly cold by now.

"Where's Mick? What did you find on the first floor?" Nian Weiji exchanged pleasantries with Jin: "Have you eaten the cake at the dinner party? How does it taste?"

Chen Luyao looked at Nian Weiji with incredulous eyes, the man didn't even realize that he had narrowly escaped death just now.After witnessing the fight scene between Jin and Xu Qixiang on the first day, it may only be a year before he can treat Jin with the attitude of ordinary people.

Jin stared at Nian Weiji silently.Those eyes are very oppressive, like a nocturnal animal that is accumulating energy.

Then, Jin nodded emphatically, giving a thumbs up fist.

Chen Luyao: "You really ate it!"

"Five sour and three spicy!" Jin said in squishy Chinese.

"She can talk?" Wei Zixu looked at Jin: "I thought she couldn't say anything except her own name...but what does this sentence mean?"

When Wei Zixu asked this question, it was not until late in the year that Jin noticed that Jin had never spoken in front of others. He was able to teach Jin to speak a sentence of Chinese, which was close to a feat.

"It means very good. I teach." Nian Weiji explained.Thinking of what he did that surprised Wei Zixu, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously at the end of the year.A sense of superiority breeds courage, which is especially important in today's dark and gloomy environment. At the end of the year, he even wanted to face Carmichael directly, revealing what kind of moth he has done, and show it in front of Wei Zixu by the way.

"Okay, now everyone is basically here, let's go in the direction of Carmichael—"

"Jin, where have you been?"

A voice came from the descending stairs, and Mick ran up the stairs, clutching a thick notebook in his right hand.He arrived at the front of the ballroom, saw them clearly with the faint light, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, striding towards them: "I asked Jin to find you, it seems that she is really good at finding people."

"Looking for us? Didn't you hear the news? I said we'll meet up on the second floor." Wei Zixu asked while glancing at Marquis Jin.

Jinhou immediately said: "I sent a message."

"No?" Mick raised his wrist in confusion, noticing that Mick now had two marks.

"I did. Maybe it's forbidden to send messages to other teams in this game." Jinhou said.

Mick thought for a while, and agreed with what Jinhou said: "It's possible, because I also sent you a message saying that we will meet on the first floor, and it seems that you haven't received it either."

"But the director didn't mention this rule?" Qin Guican asked: "If this is the case, isn't the 'point snatching' also banned?"

Chen Luyao said: "It may be limited to this game, in order to reduce the efficiency of information transmission between us and increase the difficulty of the game."

Among all the people, only Wei Zixu remained silent.

"Let's not mention that." Mick raised the notebook in his hand: "When I was searching on the first floor, I found this notebook from an empty room. It seems to be Carmichael's handwritten draft."

Mick asked Jin to go to the ballroom to get a candlestick, held his notes under the candlelight, and turned to the folded pages.The handwriting on the paper is messy, but a few lines of the characters can be vaguely recognized:

-Act [-], Scene [-]-

-camilla: you, sir, please take off your mask

-Stranger: Really?

-Kasiluda: Yes, it's time, we all take off our masks, only you

-Stranger: I don't have a mask

- Camila: (horrified, approaching Kasiruda) No mask?No mask!

Several names were written next to the scene: "Adrian," "Fish," "Morgan Stern."These people are the actors of tonight's new drama. It seems that this notebook is likely to be the draft of tonight's new drama.It's a pity that many contents of the notebook have been torn out, or there are only some scribbled graffiti. At first glance, it looks like a black figure with rags all over his body.

At this moment, cheers came from the ballroom, as if the punishment game had begun.

They all go to the ballroom.Wei Zixu grabbed Nian Wei by his sleeve and dragged him to the end of the line.Wei Zixu looked ahead, and whispered to Nian Weiji, "You can send messages between different teams. You asked me where I was at the beginning of the game. I specially asked Marquis Jin to send the location information."

Nian Weiji was surprised: "You suspected the Marquis of Jin from the very beginning? Indeed, only the Marquis of Jin's skills can interfere with the transmission of information."

"I never trusted Marquis Jin."

Wei Zixu said: "But there is one thing that is very strange. It is impossible for the Marquis of Jin to forget that I asked him to send you location information. Why did he still say what he said just now? Wouldn't it expose me that there is something wrong with him?"

Wei Zixu paused, and said something suspicious.

"I suspect that that person is not the Marquis of Jin."
