Debuted in the C position of the thriller variety show

After this strange remark, the dinner began.

Holding a candlestick in her hand, the nun led the guests through a deep corridor to the entrance of a hall.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a long table in the center of the hall surrounded by twelve chairs.

The nuns went in and lit the candles on the table with the candles in the candlesticks.

呲——

The flame jumped and emitted a ray of light.

This is a room without windows. Through the dim light, one can see a man and a woman painted on the wall. They stand under a tree, raise their heads, and greedily stare at an apple hanging from the branch—this is Adam. The story with Eve.

Xie Xiaozhou's gaze stayed for a moment, and he looked towards the center of the room. Except for the long table and chairs, there was nothing else here.

The guests stood at the door without acting rashly.

The nun lit all the candles on the long table, walked to the front, tapped the glass with a silver spoon, and made a "ding" sound.

After finishing this action, the nun looked up at the guest, her black eyes were gloomy, like a pool of stagnant water: "Come here."

The guests hesitated for a moment, but they still obeyed the words of the nuns and sat on the chairs in order.

Xie Xiaozhou was near the door, with his hands on his knees, sitting upright.Looking down, he found an apple on the round porcelain plate in front of him.

The red apples, with a little crystal clear dew on the surface, seem to have just been picked from the branches, exuding the unique fragrance of the fruit, which is very attractive.

Xie Xiaozhou's mouth unconsciously secreted liquid.He resisted the idea of ​​touching the apple, and turned to look at the other guests - they also had an apple in front of them.

Seeing everyone sitting down, the nuns lowered their eyes and whispered reverently: "Thank you, my Lord, for the gift."

After the words fell, the nun and nun kept that movement motionless, like a cold statue.

The girl with glasses was the first to react, and followed suit, repeating the lines spoken by the nuns.

Other guests did the same.

"Thank you my Lord for the gift—"

The guests said in unison, and the voice echoed in the room.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", drowning out the incoming echo.

Like something was slammed shut.

Xie Xiaozhou opened his eyes first, and found that the nun standing in the front had disappeared.He subconsciously turned his head to look at the door, the heavy door was closed tightly without leaving a single gap.

There are no windows, the doors are closed—it's a secret room.

The light in the restaurant comes from the lit candles on the table, and the light of the fire is reflected on the faces of every guest.

The muscular man slammed his fist on the dining table: "Damn the secret room!" One look at his muscles and you can tell that this is an actor who passes the level by "strength". He has well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

The other guests were silent, looking around secretly.

After the lesson of the first secret room, these guests who have never participated in secret room escape programs already know that it is meaningless to search blindly, and they can only leave if they meet the corresponding conditions.

He Congxi said, "The key is on the dining table."

In the church before, he failed to establish his prestige and was slapped in the face. This time, he must seize the opportunity to establish his leadership position.

Hearing this, the guests all looked at the long table.

There is a lot of food on the table.Under the firelight, the roast chicken exudes a glossy luster, the skin of the pork knuckle is crispy, and the fluffy muffin is covered with a layer of jam...

In the silence, the sound of swallowing saliva was clearly heard from among the guests.

Xie Xiaozhou raised his hand to press his stomach, and there was a feeling of hunger, and the stomach acid gushed out to his throat.

The feeling of hunger came too suddenly, Xie Xiaozhou licked his dry lips, trying to ignore the delicious food on the table.

The voice of the girl with glasses rang out: "There is an hourglass here."

Xie Xiaozhou looked over and saw an hourglass placed in the center of the dining table. The sand passed through the narrow pipe and flowed down continuously. Within a short while, a small sand pile had formed.

The countdown has begun.

The muscular man looked around, but didn't see where there was a key on the dining table. He glared at He Congxi: "You said there is a key, but where is the key? Do you want us to finish eating these things?"

He Congxi was ambiguous: "Maybe." He picked up the knife and fork, and slowly cut the roast chicken in front of him.

The skin of the grilled chicken is shiny and the meat is fresh and tender. Once the knife is cut, the fat will flow down the texture.

He Congxi put the chicken leg meat on his plate and said, "Eat it, you can go out after eating."

With a person who eats crabs, other guests also moved.

Xie Xiaozhou thought for a while.

Judging from the information obtained so far, corresponding things should be done at each time.You can only leave the church after praying, so in the restaurant, you can naturally leave after dinner.

Is it really that simple?

Although he was skeptical, he picked up a muffin and chewed it slowly.It's just that eating like this doesn't seem to relieve the empty stomach, something else is needed...

He glanced at the apple in front of him.

In the Garden of Eden, the apple is the forbidden fruit, which represents the original sin and desire of human beings.

Does the apple here also symbolize something?

"Don't..." Xie Xiaozhou was about to speak to remind, but his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.

As soon as he raised his head, he met He Congxi's gaze.

He Congxi's fingers moved, apparently using some props to prevent Xie Xiaozhou from reminding others.

He Congxi also discovered the clue.

It's just that he deliberately didn't remind him, wanting to let others take the risk.

[I'm here to watch a thrilling show, why do I click in and eat everything?Is this a food show? 】

【It looks delicious】

[I starve to death strongly condemn this behavior! 】

At the beginning, the guests ate relatively politely. It can be seen that the sand in the hourglass was passing by, and it was about to bottom out. The guests quickly speeded up.

In fact, the muscular man is the most heroic, he is strong and strong, one can stand up to three, and he empties the food in front of him at once.

But even if you can eat again, you should be full after eating three or four plates of food.

But the muscular man doesn't seem to know what "fullness" is. Even if his stomach bulges high, he doesn't stop eating.

A skinny man sitting next to the muscular man sensed something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but was thrown aside by the muscular man instead.

The thin man fell heavily to the side, and even the porcelain plate in front of him fell to the ground.

The porcelain plate was torn apart, and the plump apple rolled in a circle and hit the wall before stopping.

The other guests stopped their movements and all looked at the muscular man.

The muscular man's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he took a roast chicken and stuffed it into his mouth forcefully.This is no longer considered eating, but mechanical stuffing.

Xie Xiaozhou thought of foie gras inexplicably.

Foie gras is a cruel delicacy. In order to obtain a plump and tender fatty liver, food must be continuously fed into the stomach of a goose.

At this time, the muscular man was a force-fed goose, with a swollen abdomen, as if a child was about to pop out in the next second.

This scene was so weird that the guests sitting next to him silently moved away.

The muscular man didn't feel anything, grabbed a big elbow and stuffed it into his mouth.It's just that the big elbow got stuck in the throat, no matter how hard I tried, it couldn't fit anymore.

The muscular man was finally "full", he stopped, and a strange sound came from his throat.Then, the guests heard a "bang".

The sound was crisp, like the popping of a balloon full of air.

I saw the muscular man slowly fell to the ground, a gap was opened in his stomach, and blood, minced meat and undigested food were displayed in front of the guests.

Some people couldn't help retching, for fear that the food they just ate was wrong and they would become the next muscular man.

Xie Xiaozhou didn't dodge or avoid it, his clear and bright eyes stared at the muscular man's split stomach, and there was a palm-sized thing inside, shining with a metallic luster.

Shila-

The chair rubbed against the ground, making a screeching sound.

The other guests looked over.

He Congxi stood up from his seat and walked to the muscular man's body.He took a fork, stirred it in the bloody mess, and drew out a shiny thing.

It was a brass key.

The key was found, and the guests couldn't wait to leave. No one cared about the muscular man's body on the ground.

Or rather, they ignored it on purpose.

After all, as long as he can survive, what does it matter if he sacrifices one or two people?The horizontal and vertical knife did not fall on his body, so he would not feel pain.

He Congxi inserted the brass key into the lock, turned it slightly, and pushed open the heavy door.

The guests walked out impatiently, only Xie Xiaozhou was the last one.He glanced at the messy long table.

Including the ones that fell on the ground, there are eleven apples left in total.

The only missing apple was swallowed by the muscular man.

on the wall.

Adam and Eve seem to have changed their positions. Eve is holding a bright red apple and smiling at Xie Xiaozhou.

***

After everyone left the room, the candles on the dining table were blown out by a gust of wind.

In the peripheral vision that has not yet dissipated, a palm sticks out from a certain corner.There are only three fingers on the palm, the knuckles are twisted, the fingertips are sharp, and the skin is covered with fine scales.It's not so much a hand as a claw.

The claws grabbed the muscular man's body and slowly dragged it into the darkness.

In the empty dining room, the humming of nuns and nuns echoed.

"Gluttony..."

***

After leaving the restaurant, it was already night outside.

Today's weather is not very good, the sky is full of dark clouds, there are no stars, only a crescent moon.It's just that the moonlight is unclear, hazy, and there is still a bloody light on the edge.

"Moon Moon." A fat boy said.

The girl with glasses asked, "What do you mean?"

The fat boy said: "There is a saying in our hometown that this kind of moon is a hairy moon. Once there is a hairy moon, it means that the devil has appeared."

A gust of wind blew past, making a whining sound.

He Congxi said sharply, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The fat boy was a little frightened, shrank his neck, and stopped talking.

He Congxi glanced at the time, he was going back to the dormitory at nine o'clock in the evening, and there was still some time before nine o'clock.So he said, "Let's go around and check the situation."

Based on He Congxi's performance in the restaurant, currently no guests raised any objections, and they all followed him.

The outside of the Gospel Orphanage is surrounded by a circle of iron fences, and the iron gate at the main entrance is locked with a big lock, and you cannot leave at will.

Outside, there was a thick layer of fog, with black shadows flickering indistinctly, and pairs of scarlet eyes stared at the people inside, as if looking forward to a feast.

This means that the only way for the guests to leave the orphanage is to find the key. If they go out through the wall or other methods, they will be attacked by monsters in the thick fog.

The guests wandered around the gate for a while, then turned back.

The buildings inside the orphanage include a bell tower, a church, a restaurant and a two-story building.

The first floor is where the classes are held, and the second floor is the dormitory.

Although it was still early before going to bed, the guests were in no mood to go to other places and went upstairs one after another.

Xie Xiaozhou took a step behind, came to He Congxi's side, lowered his voice and said, "You did it on purpose."

He Congxi's eyes flashed: "What's on purpose?"

Xie Xiaozhou spit out two words: "Apple."

He Congxi stood on the top of the stairs, looking down at him: "Do you think you are the only one who found out?"

Xie Xiaozhou watched him quietly.

He Congxi was a little annoyed by this gaze, and sneered: "What are you pretending to be a good person, you didn't do this, do you think you can come out of the secret room of the restaurant?"

【This guest named Xie Xiaozhou is too nosy too】

【I don't think he should live long】

[I'm a little curious, how did this kind of person survive until now]

Xie Xiaozhou stood where he was, feeling a kind of physical discomfort in his heart.

This is his fifth show.

In the previous programs, he was fighting wits with the BOSS. For the guests, he has always maintained the principle that no one offends me, and I don’t offend others. This is the first time he has faced the undercurrent among the guests.

In order to survive, sacrifice the lives of the same kind, what is the difference between this and the ghosts in the show?

He Congxi's voice came from above: "I suggest you not to meddle in other people's business, or else, obey my command obediently; or, you can act alone. Understand?"

After finishing speaking, He Congxi went straight upstairs.

Xie Xiaozhou was silent for a moment, then walked towards the second floor.

He has always wanted to live, but not in this posture.

It sounds stupid, but it is his consistent insistence.

***

Backstage of the program group.

The staff was a little rushed.

"Why didn't the boss respond!"

"It stands to reason that the BOSS should be full of murderous intent towards Xie Xiaozhou now, why hasn't he acted yet?"

While talking, the staff looked towards where the director was.

Fortunately, the director is in a stable state and has no intention of waking up.

A voice rang timidly: "Maybe... Boss hasn't seen Xie Xiaozhou yet, right? Just wait until you see him."

The staff also felt that it made sense when they heard it, and hurriedly said: "Then speed up the progress and let BOSS and Xie Xiaozhou meet up!"

"We have to figure out a way..."

***

With her hands hanging by her sides, the nuns walked down the dark corridor with their heads down until they reached one of the rooms.

The color of the room is dark and there is a handmade carpet on the floor.A fireplace is built on the wall directly opposite the door, and the firewood inside is burning, reflecting a warm halo.

The nun looked up and saw the head of a black goat hanging from the fireplace, with two huge horns twisted upwards, staring straight at everyone who came in.

After only one glance, the nun looked away and lowered her head respectfully and obediently.

On the sofa by the fireplace sat a man who looked to be in his early thirties.At this age, when one is at the peak of an adult male, it is like a jug of properly brewed wine, exuding a mellow aroma.

The man was wearing an elegant three-piece suit, his black hair was combed back, and only a few fragments fell on his forehead.Viewed from the side, he has a monocle in front of his left eye, and a thin silver chain hangs on his angular cheeks, shaking slightly with his movements.

The nun did not dare to move, but buried her head lower: "My lord, the candidate for this time..."

The nun felt a little uneasy.

Usually, she is the one who chooses the "godson". The adults never come, but this time the adults suddenly appeared. Could it be that they have taken a fancy to a certain person?

The man held a thick book in his hand, and a pair of dark eyes carefully scanned the words written on it.

"The candidate for this time..." The man, oh no, he should be respectfully called Godfather, "I'm very interested in one of them."

The nun asked cautiously: "Which one is your lord?"

Since her arrival, the lord has never expressed a preference for a certain person. In this case, shouldn't she be a little more tolerant of that person?

The godfather has always been unsmiling, and he didn't show any extra emotions at this time. He just raised his hand and turned a page of the book, making a rustling sound.

"No." The godfather said with some sternness, "The selection should be fair and just, and the rules should not be changed because of my personal preference."

The nun was even more frightened: "Yes, yes."

The room was dead silent.

Only the charcoal fire burning in the fireplace made a crackling sound.

The nun did not dare to say anything more, and retreated silently.

After a while, the godfather finally finished reading this page of the book, carefully smoothed the folds on it with his fingers, closed the book, got up and put it back to its original position.

This book landed on the bookshelf properly, without a trace of extra space, and it was neatly arranged there.

The godfather turned around, and his profile appeared in the firelight of the fireplace.

His facial features are mature and handsome, well-proportioned, exuding a sternness.It seems to be the kind of dictator who keeps his word and doesn't allow others to comment.

In front of him, no one dared to lie, and no one dared to resist. They could only bow their heads in obedience, and begged him to call out for mercy—Godfather.

He lifted his foot to the window, looking at the thick darkness outside.

The godfather has always been fair and strict, never favoritism, and acted in accordance with the rules and regulations.

But for some reason, this time he had a strong killing intent towards an innocent person.

It shouldn't be.

Until innocent people make mistakes, they will be treated equally.Even if you make a mistake, as long as you repent piously, the godfather should forgive you.

***

There are a total of six rooms on the second floor. There were originally twelve guests, but two of them are about to share one room.

Now that the muscular man is dead, it means that there is someone who will be alone.

In this show, the ending of being alone is often not very good.

Xie Xiaozhou was the last one to arrive, so naturally, the last spare room was reserved for him.

But he didn't care, he was happy to live alone.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the guests had already got up and went to the church to pray.

Probably because the sun hadn't fully risen yet, the entire orphanage was filled with a thin layer of mist, and only the scene in front of him could be seen clearly.

But fortunately, there was no accident on the way to the church. The guests finished their morning prayers unharmed and went to the restaurant for breakfast.

The strange thing is that the church and restaurant were in a mess yesterday, but today they are restored as new, and the body of the muscular man has disappeared.

The nun was very calm about the loss of one person, and only said: "Those who make mistakes will be taken away."

After speaking, the nun and nun will leave with the lamp.

Xie Xiaozhou took the first step, and asked before she left: "Excuse me, mother, what mistake will I be taken away? What is the criterion for the adult's selection?"

The nun took a deep look at Xie Xiaozhou: "You are born guilty, you should know. And that lord..." There was a fear on her face, "The person chosen by the lord will have a A heart as bright as a diamond."

After answering the questions, the nuns left directly, leaving only the guests in the restaurant.

Fortunately, the door of the restaurant was not closed again this time.

The short-haired girl sat beside Xie Xiaozhou and said hello: "Do you remember me?"

Xie Xiaozhou nodded.

After all, they have acted in "The Bride of the River God" together, even after a while, they are still impressive.

The short-haired woman said, "Why are you asking that?"

The task of the guests is to escape from the orphanage and be selected as godchildren, which sounds like it has nothing to do with escaping the orphanage.

Xie Xiaozhou picked up a piece of bread and said in a low voice: "I have no thoughts, so I just asked. I always feel...the key to go out is not so easy to find." He paused, and suddenly said, "Don't follow this A senior guest is better."

The senior guest refers to He Congxi.

The short-haired girl seemed to think of something, her eyes flickered, but she didn't speak.

After finishing their breakfast, the guests decided to explore further.

Except for He Congxi, the other guests participated in the escape room variety show for the first time, so naturally they followed He Congxi without any doubt.

Only Xie Xiaozhou proposed to act alone.

There was a sneer from the crowd: "A courteous one."

Probably out of love for having appeared in the same variety show, the short-haired girl persuaded: "You haven't participated in this type of variety show, it's better to follow someone with experience."

Xie Xiaozhou meant something: "Following experienced people may not necessarily make you survive."

The short-haired girl knew what this sentence meant, so she remained silent.Perhaps the guests all knew that He Congxi's method of cracking the secret room was to use human life, but they always had a fluke mentality, maybe the one who died was not him?

Of course, Xie Xiaozhou didn't act recklessly, nor did he act like a hero. He just didn't agree with the behavior of other guests, and he couldn't persuade them, so he had to act on his own.

After the other guests left, he took out a roll of parchment and wrote a line on it.

This is his new identity card "Suspense Author". As long as he writes a logical story, he can bring the story into reality.

【I escaped from the Gospel Orphanage】

Logic fails.

【I found the key and escaped from the Gospel Orphanage】

Logic fails, does not hold.

Xie Xiaozhou held the quill pen and crossed out the previous words.

[I searched here and found some clues about how to escape from the Gospel Orphanage]

The logic holds!

Xie Xiaozhou put away the parchment and walked towards the mist.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but after a bell rang from the bell tower, he saw a building appearing in front of him.

That's off the orphanage map.

It was the story that had led him here.

Xie Xiaozhou walked in, and his figure disappeared into the darkness, as if being swallowed by a bloody mouth.

***

Seeing this scene, the crew behind the scenes was a little excited.

"We're finally meeting!"
