The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

"Mom, I don't want to go to school."

"Why, it's only been a week since school started, why don't you want to go to school?"

"Other classmates bullied me, saying that I was too poor, sick, boring, too sensitive... I felt very sad, and no one would be my friend."

"Pingping." The woman was dealing with work in the study, and the little boy huddled beside the door frame, complaining about the school with teary eyes.The woman listened, raised her head from the desk, and adjusted her cat ear glasses.The boy was seven or eight years old. He was taller than his peers, but he was only a handful of bones thin. He was short of breath when he spoke, as if he would be out of breath after a little exercise.

"Pingping, come to mother." The woman beckoned the little boy to come over, and the boy shyly walked to the desk, his sickly appearance was definitely not welcomed by boys of the same age.

"Good boy, come on, mom hugs, what else did they say about you?" The woman hugged the boy, rubbed his hair gently with her hands, and asked gently.

"They also said, they also said..." The boy hesitated for a moment, choked up, and whispered on the woman's shoulder: "They said that because I don't have a father and no one to teach me, I don't look like a boy, and when I grow up, I don't look like a boy." There will be no future..."

"Hmm." The woman felt the boy's thin shoulders trembling, so she hugged him even tighter, with an inappropriate smile on her face.

"They're all right."

"Pingping doesn't need to be successful in the future, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have friends in school. Because Pingping's health is poor, his personality is weak, and he has no ability, so it's enough to rely on his mother, who can take good care of you."

The boy's breath was stagnant, and he asked in doubt: "Mom?" The concepts instilled by women are different from those of other children, but he is still young and has no ability to distinguish right from wrong.

"Trust your mother's words, mediocrity, don't worry about what other people say. Other people, other women will harm you, only mother will not abandon you, so only mother is enough in your life."

"Got it, Pingping, you belong to my mother."

[Carmichael held a crazy dinner party, but no one can tell the specific content of the dinner party.There were a lot of policemen and guards on duty that night. They said that the mansion looked normal from the outside, with the lights always on, and the sound of conversation and dancing music coming out, and there was nothing unusual that would cause people to be vigilant.But when the servants went to pick up their master after midnight, they found that the inside of the mansion was in a mess, with overturned furniture, broken glass, dark red blood and some human organs everywhere.There was no one in the house, and the messy traces on the floor of the ballroom all pointed to the stage, but disappeared out of thin air on the stage.Since Carmichael had mentioned in the invitation that a new play would be staged at the end of the dinner, the detectives could only speculate that the disappearance was related to the new play. 】

[The only guests returning from the dinner are Investigator Revere, Investigator Kim, Investigator Madison, Investigator Jennifer, Investigator Wells, and Investigator Neo.But none of them remembered what happened that night, and after finishing their notes at the police station, they returned to their respective residences. 】

【Investigator Revere was electrocuted during the dinner party and suffered from joint pains. Whenever it was cloudy and rainy, he couldn't get out of bed because of the pain.Investigator Kim continued to be Revere's bodyguard. Because she failed to protect the master during the dinner, she was no longer trusted by Revere and was at risk of losing her job at any time. 】

[Investigator Madison was obsessed with collecting all kinds of supernatural reports after returning from the dinner party, and the press release he wrote was also insane, and was criticized many times by the editor-in-chief of the news agency.Investigator Jennifer began to have nightmares. In the dream, there was always a figure with yellow rags on her body, sitting on the throne on the tomb and staring at her.This nightmare made her miserable. 】

[Investigator Wells returned to the office. Everything in the office was normal, but Wells found that every time the sun went down, everyone's faces would turn into wooden masks.Gradually he was unable to work after the sun went down.Investigator Neo became very stage-phobic, disturbed by all the spotlights or places in the focus of the crowd's attention, and he began to reclusive and faded out of the public eye. 】

[Investigator Arthur disappeared after the dinner. The family spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find his whereabouts. So far there is no clue, and they will continue to search. 】

After everyone entered the elevator, the director began to announce the ending of the game.At the end of the year, I don't know if this is the worst ending, but what is certain is that since Carmichael planned this dinner, everyone invited will not have a good ending.The lives of the investigators were all changed by this dinner, and with their departure, the identity of the investigators will remain in this floor forever and be tormented.

Marquis Jin was also left behind.

"We are in danger..."

Nian Wei had heard Wei Zixu whispering in his ear, and at the same time noticed that other people were checking the marks on their wrists.By the way, they are about to settle the game rankings, and the person with the lowest total points will be punished.The end of the year is finally pulled back from the dinner party to reality, which is far scarier than the scariest games.

There are a total of 5 marks in this group, Mick group has 3 marks, and Chen Luyao group has 2 marks. Jinhou is not here, so I don’t know how many marks he has.But even if they are number one in this game, they only have 3 points. The total points are still behind the Mick group and Chen Luyao group. Because of the absence of Marquis Jin, DEATHTHEATER may directly fall to him or Wei Zixu on the head.

"I hope," Nian Weiji swallowed, "I hope the Marquis of Jin has already been sent to the third floor."

"I hope so." Wei Zixu said, his expression was also quite bad.

They quickly came to the conference room on the third floor, where the current total points of each team were clearly displayed on the wall.

[The game is over, now we will start to clear the score. 】

[In this round of games, the "middle-aged and elderly" group found two clues and ranked fourth with a score of 0. The "Godofnoone" group found three clues and came in third with a score of 1. The "Devil" group found four clues and ranked second with a score of 2. The "Jinjue" group found five clues and ranked first with a score of 3. 】

"What, no, we have 5 tokens, so we should have 3 points!" Wei Zixu shouted suddenly, sweat beaded on his forehead at the end of the year, even if they won the first place, the total points could not catch up with Mick and Chen Lu Yao's group, and Marquis Jin did not appear on the third floor, I am afraid this time it is really bad luck.

If you want to be executed, I hope that the one who dies is myself.This thought suddenly popped up in Nian Weiji's mind, which even surprised him a little. Could it be that the negative thoughts brought to him by "Asymptotic Frost Syndrome" have remained until now, making him weak enough to give up his life?

[This round of the game has a set of hidden levels to unlock - find out the truth about Carcosa. The "devil" group gets 5 hidden points.The current overall ranking situation is: "Godofnoone" group has 20 points, ranking first. The "Devil" group has a total of 17 points, ranking second. The "middle-aged and elderly" group has a total of 16 points, ranking third. The "Jinjue" group has a total of 11 points, ranking fourth. 】

[Because no member of the "Jinjue" group escaped from the "Old Domination" game, the team that was eliminated after the results were cleared was the "middle-aged and elderly" group. 】

After the director finished announcing the results, Nian Weiji heard a commotion behind him, but his thinking was a little delayed at this time, and he stared blankly at the purple mark on his wrist.It turns out that this mark does not represent a point. Finding out the truth about Carcosa does not affect the ending of the game. It just completes the background of the story, so the director regards this as a hidden level.

The theater behind the glass wall lights up, and DEATHTHEATER is about to begin.Nian Wei looked up and saw Qin Guican struggling on the stage from a distance, but he didn't feel lucky to have escaped from death at all, what was there was nothingness, just like the helpless emptiness brought to him by frostbite, This game is just a farce led by the director.

The others silently walked past him into the theater, Wei Zixu called him, and followed him to the theater in a daze at the end of the year.

As soon as they stepped through the glass door, the music in the theater suddenly became grand and lively. The melody was very familiar, and it turned out to be a wedding march.A pink balloon touched Nian Weiwei's face, and he realized that there were many balloons and ribbons arranged in the theater, the stage turned into a lawn, and a row of white arches stretched out beside Qin Guican.Qin Guican was fixed on the emcee's platform, and the retro women's suit she wore in the game also matched the environment, but her astonishment and panic were incompatible.

[Thank you all distinguished guests for coming, on this grand day, let us bless the couple together! 】

The curtains on both sides of the stage were lifted, and a woman in a wedding dress stepped out from the right. The wedding dress covered her body tightly, making her look like a living mummy.On the left side of the stage, a tall and thin man stepped out. He was wearing a clean white suit and had a feminine appearance. He was five points similar to Qin Guican.

"Pingping?" Qin Guican noticed the man coming out from the left side of the stage, and called out in surprise.

Nian Weiji looked at the man, and it turned out that this was Qin Guican's son Pingping. Qin Guican had always claimed that Nian Weiji was very similar to Pingping, so Nian Weiji couldn't help but take a closer look at Pingping.He found that the man had a sallow complexion, a thin body, and he walked lightly and without strength. At first glance, he had damaged liver function, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and was very weak.

Nian Weiji pinched his chin, thinking that Qin Guican looked healthy, but why her son looked sickly.But he suddenly noticed an important question: Could it be that he is also like this in the eyes of others!

"Pingping..." Qin Guican's eyes were glued to the man, and the man walked towards the bride with a smile on his face.After watching so many DEATHTHEATER episodes, Qin Guican naturally knew that Pingping was just a product of projection and machinery, but judging by her reaction, it seemed that the illusion was more real than she expected.She greedily stared at Ping Ping's projection, but Nian Weiyi felt a little strange in that look.

Her eyes were mixed with joy, longing, and lust.That's not the way a mother looks at her child.

Just when Qin Guican called "Pingping" to himself, the man stopped in front of the emcee's stage, faced her, and suddenly responded to her call.

"Mom, did you call me?"

Qin Guican opened his eyes wide: "Pingping, can you hear me?"

The man nodded, his gaze sank, and seeing Qin Guican's messy shirt, he reached out to help her tidy it up: "Why is it so messy, mom, don't you pay attention to your image?"

Qin Guican looked down at his hand with obvious veins, and suddenly tears filled his eyes.In the impression of the end of the year, Qin Guican has always maintained the stability of an adult woman. Even in the execution a few days ago and today's "Domination of the Old" game, she was not defeated by fear and remained calm and rational.Nian Wei could already imagine that she was also a vigorous and strong woman in the workplace, but she did not expect that she would show such a little woman's attitude in front of her son.

"Help me, save mom..."

"What are you talking about, mom?" The man smiled slightly: "Today is the wedding of my lover and I, mom, you must witness my happiest moment."

"What? Who is it!" Qin Guican looked at the bride with hostility.The bride was wrapped in a wedding dress, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work. You raised me alone." The man withdrew his hand, straightened his back, and said solemnly to Qin Guican, "You never let me play with other children, and you never let me participate in any competitions." For school activities, I have never had friends and I can’t socialize, so far my life has only revolved around my mother.”

"You don't let me go out to exercise, and my health is getting worse and worse. Once I had a very serious gastroenteritis and couldn't get out of bed. You took care of me by the bedside for several days, but never sent me to the hospital. Then I didn't know until you were so happy for a few days. You not only want me to revolve around you, you want me to be completely dependent on you, and I can't leave you like a parasite."

"If you had a birdcage, you'd want to lock me in it forever."

"In the past 30 years, you have successfully trained me to be sick, cowardly, and only look for my mother's idiot. I am desperate, I am really desperate, but I don't know how to get rid of it. You are the only one in my life. The only thing is, I can't tell you about my despair." The man said, took the bride's hand, and turned to look at her: "Fortunately, there are still people who are willing to love me."

The man took off the woman's veil, and there was a shapeless face underneath. Her skin was festered and pus, and her facial features seemed to melt on her face.The man approached her lovingly, bowed his head and kissed her rotten forehead and her swollen lips.Qin Guican's face turned pale with shock, and he struggled to stop the man: "No! No! Plain! What is that! It's disgusting, leave now!"

The man didn't realize it, and hugged the rotten woman tightly. The festering spread from the place where they touched to the man. Soon, thick water oozed from the man's face, and red lumps and yellow lumps appeared from under the white suit. stains.He hugged the woman's arm and fell into the woman's body, and the two gradually merged into a ball of rotten flesh.

Qin Guican cried out the man's nickname loudly, even at the end of the year, he felt it was very harsh.Suddenly, Qin Guican's cry turned into a gasp, and several tentacles stretched out from the rotten meat to wrap around Qin Guican's limbs and neck, and the blocked part turned into a maroon visibly with the naked eye.Qin Guican couldn't scream and couldn't break free, but kept his eyes wide open to recognize the outline of the man.

"Cough...cough, uh...ah...I um..."

Nian Weiji looked at Qin Guican's mouth, and seemed to be able to vaguely see that she was saying: "Mom loves you, no one loves you more than mom..."

It is difficult to conceive in October, difficult to give birth once, and difficult to raise for decades, but the most difficult thing for a mother may be to let the child go.For Qin Guican, who is dependent on her son for life, this may be something she will never learn.

"Pingping, no one in this world will love you unconditionally except mother. If, if you must marry a woman to spend the rest of your life with..."

"Just marry mom."
