Debuted in the C position of the thriller variety show

……All right.

In fact, it is not impossible to beat.

Xie Xiaozhou's luck is not very good, the identity card library is full of rubbish N cards, but he can still find R cards with certain combat effectiveness such as "Nurse", "Ninja", and "Police Student".

However, he didn't have to.

In the show "Thriller Variety Show", there are thrills everywhere, dancing on the blade of death.

In this environment, the guests can easily arouse negative emotions in their hearts.Selfish, despicable, narrow-minded... Occupied by all kinds of malice, you can survive by doing whatever you can.

Such a person is no longer considered a "person".

For Xie Xiaozhou, killing people may not be a difficult task, but in the current situation, it has not reached this point.

It can't be regarded as the Holy Mother. If his life is really endangered, he will do it without hesitation.But now, he would not do such unethical things.

If you kill someone—even if it's just an NPC, it will change a lot of things.

At that time, even if you break away from the control of "Thriller Variety Show", you will no longer be able to return to your past life.

Xie Xiaozhou strolled through the maze with playing cards in his mouth.While walking, the translucent texture of the playing cards reflected a bright light.

he thought casually.

In fact, another reason is that the fraud master has too many criminal records.

The fraudster always deceives people without warning, brings others into his rhythm, and finally gets completely lost in the lie.

If Xie Xiaozhou participates in this game now, it means that he took the initiative to enter the trap of the fraudster.

All the evidence in front of him is telling Xie Xiaozhou that he should participate in this game, but he just doesn't join.

The puppet cat stopped, looked at the opposite side, kicked its hind legs vigorously, and jumped from one side to the other side of the wall.

The lithe figure fell down, and the tail drew a snow-white trace in midair.

Along the way, Xie Xiaozhou saw too many lies and killings.

You lie to me, I lie to you.Just killed someone on the front foot and took away the playing cards, and was killed by someone on the back foot.

Amidst the uninterrupted death, a gloomy atmosphere lingers in the labyrinth.Everyone in it will be affected and their minds shaken.

Xie Xiaozhou looked down.

I don't know when, the walls of the maze are decorated with lights and colorful decorative lights, shining and full of festive atmosphere.

Death and celebration are intertwined, which is extraordinarily weird.

Xie Xiaozhou shook his head and continued walking towards the castle.

【What is Zhou Zhou going to do? 】

[Tsk, that's boring, why don't you start grabbing cards?Slow down before it's too late! 】

[The perspectives of other guests are still interesting, let's go]

[I guess he will definitely be eliminated]

The labyrinth twists and turns, and the road twists and turns.

Fortunately, Xie Xiaozhou used the R card Ragdoll, walked directly from above, and through various shortcuts, it seemed that he was already in front of the castle.

He stopped for a moment to rest.

Looking up, the castle stands not far away, and there are traces of time on the outer wall, which looks old and luxurious.

Xie Xiaozhou walked over with strides.

After getting closer, he discovered that there was a moat between the castle and the labyrinth, and a suspension bridge was needed to pass through it.

The drawbridge, on the side of the castle, was not lowered.

Xie Xiaozhou walked out from the exit of the maze, and hesitantly came to the edge.

shhh-

The edge was unsteady, and a clod of earth rolled down, and it took a while to hear the echo from below.

Xie Xiaozhou pawed at the ground and cautiously poked his head to look.

There is still a long distance between him and the moat. Looking down from the top, the water surface is deep, and I don't know how deep it is.

Xie Xiaozhou took two steps back, looking at the windows of the castle from afar.

It was dark inside the window.

Cats have night vision, but even so, they still can't see what's going on in the castle.

Xie Xiaozhou tilted his head and thought about it, and decided to see if there was any other way to get there.It's just that he walked around the moat to no avail.

This castle is like an isolated island, surrounded by moats on all sides, and there is no way to pass except for the drawbridge.

Xie Xiaozhou stopped and sharpened his paws on the ground.

Is it really necessary to collect 13 playing cards to enter?

He now only has a 3 of spades, so at least 12 people have to be killed to get a ticket to enter it.

"Don't waste your energy..."

Just as Xie Xiaozhou was meditating, a rough and hoarse voice sounded.

Xie Xiaozhou's ears pricked up with a "shua", and he almost jumped three meters high in fright.He pressed his paws, and slowly turned his head to look.

There was no one around.

He turned around suspiciously.

"Don't look for it, I'm here."

Xie Xiaozhou took two steps following the sound and found a human head floating in the moat.It may be because he has been soaked in the water for too long, his face is covered with dead white skin, very old.

Xie Xiaozhou: "..."

Why is there someone else down here?

The people in the water also saw the shock on the cat's face, and laughed loudly: "Because I'm a mermaid."

After finishing speaking, there were circles of ripples on the surface of the water, and then a fish tail emerged from it, splashing water all over the place.

【…】

[Is this a mermaid? 】

【My world view has collapsed】

【No, mermaids don't look like this! 】

Xie Xiaozhou exchanged a glance with the person below.

The man patted the water: "Don't look at me like this, I survived the last celebration by relying on this tail."

Xie Xiaozhou's ears moved, and he accurately captured the key word "survive": "Meow?"

He wanted to ask some questions, but what came out was a soft cat meow. He reacted, canceled the use of the identity card, and changed back to the human form.

He asked, "Have you experienced the last celebration?"

The man didn't answer Xie Xiaozhou's question, turned around and sank into the water.

Xie Xiaozhou waited on it for a while, and saw him come out again, holding a plump and fresh fish in his hand.

The man threw it upwards vigorously.

The fish formed a parabola in the air, and finally landed at Xie Xiaozhou's feet, jumping violently.

The man was holding a fish in the other hand, and without any hesitation, he brought it to his mouth and took a hard bite.

"Yes." He said while eating, "I was the only one who survived the last celebration."

The man's mouth was covered with translucent fish scales, and he looked at Xie Xiaozhou standing on it: "Why don't you eat it?"

The fish on the shore were still struggling and jumping.

Xie Xiaozhou swallowed, the cat's instinct drove him over.Just as he took a step, he stopped again: "Wait a minute."

That person just asked, and did not continue to urge.After he finished eating the fish in his hand, he burped and said, "I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you. But... I have a request."

"When you have collected all 13 cards and entered the castle, you must find a way to kill the fraudster!"

His voice was full of resentment, which lasted for a long time.

Xie Xiaozhou hesitated for a moment.

That person didn't care, and grinned grimly: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree to me, when the time comes, you will only have this choice."

Xie Xiaozhou seemed to have a feeling, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by that person.

The person said to himself: "The game you participated in is a carnival before the celebration. The killings and lies in the maze will add heat to the celebration."

"Wait until the celebration begins...it should start soon, when the gate of the castle will be opened, and only those who hold 13 cards can enter it."

"As long as someone sits on the throne in the castle, he will become the new owner of the City of Lies!"

As he spoke, the man's face twisted: "Go quickly, become the new master of the City of Lies, and kill the fraudsters, so... we can all be free!"

The voice fell.

That person seemed to be insane, his whole body twitched, and then went straight into the water without a trace.

Xie Xiaozhou waited on it for a while, but he didn't see him coming out again.

The new owner of City of Lies.

Kill the Trickster...

Either option doesn't look too good.

Xie Xiaozhou didn't want to choose between these two options.

But now it is obvious that only 13 cards can enter the castle.

He scratched his hair, messing it up black, and the cat ears drooped in frustration.

It seems that there is no other way.

Xie Xiaozhou stood on the spot and thought for a while, then rummaged through the identity card library, wanting to see if there was any identity card that would allow him to cross the moat directly and reach the other side of the river.

Unfortunately, there is no such card in the library.

Xie Xiaozhou's eyes turned to the ring he was wearing, and the ruby ​​shone with a charming luster.

Instead, let the crow go over to investigate the situation.

He stroked the ruby ​​inlaid in the ring with his fingertips, a flash of light, and a black shadow emerged.

The crow was still a little sluggish, and even its cry was weak.

Xie Xiaozhou stretched out a finger, and nodded the little head of the crow: "Mr. Crow, can I trouble you to look at the opposite side for me?"

Crow: "Gah..."

Xie Xiaozhou clasped his hands together and smiled: "It would be even better if you could help me lower the suspension bridge!" He added another sentence, staring at the crow with distinct black and white eyes, and said sincerely, "Mr. Crow, you will definitely help me mine?"

When the crow heard this, he suddenly became energetic: "Gah!" It flapped its wings and flew towards the castle on the other side of the moat.

[The crow is an old tool crow]

[Every time I feel that the crow comes out to show its power, but every time I am bullied, it is too miserable]

[The crow is too embarrassing for the doctor]

【Am I the only one who thinks the crow is very pitiful? 】

The crow jumped over the moat and landed lightly on a chain.A pair of black bean-like eyes stared at the chains hanging from the suspension bridge, and pecked hard, trying to break it off.

Xie Xiaozhou who was standing opposite saw this scene: "..."

***

in the castle.

The fraudster opened his eyes.

After he opened his eyes, the castle seemed to wake up at this moment.

The crystal chandeliers hung in the hall were lit, and the bright light flowed down, illuminating the oil paintings dotted on the walls.

The fraudster sat on the throne, resting his chin with one hand, his eyes were sleepy, with a hint of indifference.

After a while, he yawned and grabbed his fiery red hair.

"Let me see my kitten..." He looked over.

It seems that the whole city of lies is under his control, as long as he wants, he can see everything.

The dark golden pupils dilated slightly for a moment, and then returned to their original appearance.

"The little cat is playing tricks again." The fraudster changed his sitting position and rubbed his lips with his fingertips. "Sometimes it's not very attractive to pretend to be clever."

***

Mr. Crow is still working hard, but Xie Xiaozhou already wants to give up.

If this continues, the chains on the suspension bridge will not be untied for 100 years.

Xie Xiaozhou put his hands together around his mouth and shouted: "Mr. Crow—"

Before he could say the next words, another voice covered him.

"Rule change."

It was a frivolous tone, somewhat casual, but it seemed to be the will of the gods, and no one was allowed to refuse, "You need to get the 3 of spades before you can enter the castle."

Xie Xiaozhou was stunned for a moment, and kept that action unmoved.He didn't realize until after the tail sound dissipated, and turned over his own playing card.

It is the 3 of spades.

Behind him, the people in the labyrinth also heard the fraudster's words and became excited.

"Three of spades, where is the three of spades?"

"I've seen it grow white and tender on a kid's hand, with cat ears on his head."

"No, he turned into a cat behind him!"

"Find this kid for me quickly!"

Listening to the sound coming from the maze, Xie Xiaozhou took a deep breath and suppressed his desire to curse.

Because he refused to join the game, the fraud master forcibly made him a target of public criticism, and it was difficult not to join.

As long as he hides and waits until the castle doors open, though...

As soon as this idea came up, Xie Xiaozhou felt a burning sensation from the playing cards in his hand, followed by a burst of light.

In the dark maze, this looks like a guiding light, pointing the way for others.

Xie Xiaozhou wanted to cover it with something, but it was useless, the light seeped out from it, and it was still bright.

"That light..."

"It came from over there!"

"Come over quickly!"

Xie Xiaozhou couldn't help but cursed, turned around and ran away.

If you continue to stay in this empty place and be surrounded by other people, there is no way to leave.

It's better to go back to the maze, relying on the criss-cross terrain of the maze to circle and hide.

A white shadow flashed past and disappeared within the walls of the maze.

Crow, who was still working hard mechanically, turned his head, but Xie Xiaozhou was nowhere to be seen: "Huh?"

**

Xie Xiaozhou shuttled through the maze, followed closely by a group of people.No matter how fast he ran, there were still people following him.

There is no way, this 3 of spades has been shining, never stopped, unless he gives up this playing card, he can escape from the siege.

But this 3 of spades is the key to enter the castle, he can't throw it away.

This time I fell into a dilemma.

Swah——

Xie Xiaozhou braked suddenly, and saw a flash of white light ahead, and a white blade pierced into the ground in front of him.

The blade was sharp and threatening, and a handful of cat hair fell slowly.

Unknowingly, Xie Xiaozhou who was being chased came to a dead end.

There is a glimpse of the wall in front, and the sound of hurried footsteps behind.

Xie Xiaozhou withdrew his jio and stepped aside.

Those who caught up grinned grimly and approached step by step.

The weak little cat shrank into a ball, shivering under the huge shadow.

【Who made him dare not kill, he deserves it】

【In this program, those who don't kill will be killed】

The man stood in front of Xie Xiaozhou, staring at the 3 of spades in his arms, showing a greedy expression: "Hand it over!"

Xie Xiaozhou pretended to let go of his strength, and the playing cards fell to the ground. A 3 of spades symbol exuded full temptation.

The man stepped forward excitedly, and when he was about to bend down to pick it up, Xie Xiaozhou suddenly exploded, and his sharp claws stretched out from the pads, slashing across the man's eyes.

"what--"

The man covered his eyes and wailed, two lines of blood and tears left behind slowly.

Xie Xiaozhou took the opportunity to land on the ground, picked up the playing cards and got out from the side.Using that person as a pedal, he jumped up the wall and came to the corridor on the other side.

Just like this, you chased me, and time passed by little by little.

Xie Xiaozhou was a little exhausted, but he had to persist until he entered the castle under the siege of others.

According to the person at the bottom of the water, the castle should be opened immediately.

But he calculated the time, at least half a day had passed, and there was still no movement at the castle.

go on...

Xie Xiaozhou's limbs were weak, and he rolled around on the ground, canceling the R card Ragdoll, and turned into a human form.

The R-card God of War Ragdoll cat is exceptionally resistant to beatings and pain, and when it turns back into a human form, large and small scratches appear on its body immediately.

Xie Xiaozhou rubbed the dust on it with his hands, gasping for air in pain.However, he didn't dare to stay here any longer, and continued to walk forward while leaning on the wall.

Before he had gone two steps, he heard footsteps in the distance.

Xie Xiaozhou raised his vigilance, discerned the direction of the man, and wanted to escape from another place.

But before he could move his feet, he heard the other party say: "You don't need to run, I have no malicious intentions."

Xie Xiaozhou: I wouldn't believe what you said.

The other party may also feel that this statement is a bit unconvincing, and added another sentence: "We are all guests, we cannot kill each other, and I will not hurt you."

There are indeed "guest rules" among the guests, but this is only a rule of face.

The only restriction is that you can't do it directly, and you can still rely on props and NPCs to kill other guests. The program team will not care about such behavior.In other words, the program team is happy to see such a wonderful picture.

Xie Xiaozhou still didn't believe his words and wanted to escape from here.

The other party said anxiously: "There are people outside, they are coming for you, you give me that card, I will go in and complete the shooting task. In this way, we can all leave this ghost place!"

Xie Xiaozhou hesitated for a moment: "But, I gave you the 3 of spades, aren't you going to be hunted down too?"

The other party: "...No, it's okay, I am willing to help you share this pain."

Xie Xiaozhou: "I'm so touched."

The other party immediately added: "Then give me the cards quickly."

Xie Xiaozhou changed the subject: "It's because I was so touched, so I should bear the pain alone."

other side:"……"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him with good words, he tore off his disguise and revealed his true colors, "Come on, kill him, and get the playing cards!"

Xie Xiaozhou raised a middle finger towards the back, turned around and ran away.

He just stopped after taking a step.

Because, there are people around in all directions.There were guests and residents of City of Lies, but it seemed that there was no difference between them, they all stared at Xie Xiaozhou greedily.

Xie Xiaozhou had nowhere to go.

No, maybe there is another way, the only way.

***

The fraudster watched this scene with interest.

How will the kitten choose?

To commit to lies, or to choose death?

It's really interesting to watch the little cat struggling.

The fraudster feels more interested in kittens than he ever had before.

What a strange emotion.

This is the only thing that interests him other than lies.

The fraudster reached out and stroked his neck. There was still a long and narrow wound that hadn't healed, but he didn't intend to treat it.

This is... the imprint left by the little cat.

***

【what should I do now? 】

[All we can do is kill everyone, right? 】

[But there are guests inside...]

【What will Zhou Zhou do? 】

It seems that what is placed in front of Xie Xiaozhou is to kill a bloody path among this group of people.

He looked at the person in front of him, and silently clenched the hand hanging by his side.

"on!"

"Take his playing cards!"

The atmosphere reached its peak and was on fire.

At this time, Xie Xiaozhou became calmer.

A string of information flashed through his mind, pieced together into a complete puzzle.

Xie Xiaozhou stood where he was, with his fluffy tail raised high behind him, making a defensive gesture.But his face was extremely calm: "Mr. Fraudster, are you watching?"

He raised his head and looked up into the sky.

Above is a blue sky.

Because the trickster doesn't like the night, so there is no difference between day and night here, and it is always day.

No one answered Xie Xiaozhou.

Only laughter came from the crowd.

Xie Xiaozhou said calmly: "Mr. Fraudster, you should think it's fun now, right? Watching the show from above, all the plots are under your arrangement, we are the pawns in your hands, and we are at your mercy."

"Whether it's a lie or death, it's all within your expectations."

His eyes were watery, and he was especially affectionate when looking at people, but at this moment he was full of sarcasm: "I also find it very interesting."

Xie Xiaozhou knew that the character of the fraudster was very confident.He looks down on everything from a height, and whatever it is is just his existence for fun.

Originally, he wanted to grasp this point and use it to find the weakness of the fraudster.

But now it seems that this is not necessary.

He has been a little tired of playing this endless game.

Then, just choose the easiest one - to break the confidence of the fraudster.

Xie Xiaozhou ignored the group of people walking towards him, playing with the translucent playing card.

As he spun, the throne seemed to be suspended between his fingers.

"But, have you ever thought about..." Xie Xiaozhou seemed to be pitiful and mocking, "Actually, you are also a pawn in someone else's hands?"

"You think you are strategizing, you think you are superior, but it is someone else's play."

Xie Xiaozhou stopped, and the playing cards fell from his fingers and fell to the ground.

click-

A corner of the playing card fell to the ground, cracked a gap, and tiny translucent fragments bounced around.

Countless people rushed towards this playing card.

Only Xie Xiaozhou was still standing there.
