I Became a Heartthrob After A Job in Quick Transmigration
Chapter 78 The Evil God Arrives
Ye He couldn't help but thank Windsor for her loud voice, which saved him from trying to eavesdrop.
Sensing the gazes from passers-by because of Windsor's words, the mayor frowned, with a sullen look on his face: "What do you mean?"
The man next to the mayor was silent, his ordinary appearance made him unimpressive, the attention of the others in Windsor was on the mayor, and only Andersey's thoughtful eyes fell on the man.
The other two players pretended to hold Windsor, but they didn't open their mouths to reprimand each other.The cameraman stood there dumbly, watching the scene in confusion.
Seeing the mayor's appearance, Windsor became more and more angry, and she said coldly: "You know what I mean, is my companion's death related to you?!"
What, another person died? !
Ye He was shocked, he had never heard of this news.He looked at Bob subconsciously, and found that Bob also looked confused.
Ye He spoke uncertainly to the system: "This is the...fourth person who died in the town this month, right?"
System: [No wonder there are few people in the town. 】
Although he couldn't hear the mayor's words clearly, seeing how Windsor couldn't rush forward because of being dragged by his companions, Ye He guessed that the mayor should be justifying.
And just like what Ye He thought, the mayor was indeed making excuses at this time.Even when he heard Windsor's accusation, his expression was not in a hurry: "I know it is difficult for you to accept the departure of your companion, but this matter has nothing to do with me, the evidence is there, and I am trying my best to help you find the murderer." The murderer of a dead companion."
"Besides, I met you guys by chance. You guys came here to make a town promotional video. It's too late for me to thank you. What reason do you have to harm your companions?"
He spoke so grandly that Lilian, who was standing beside Windsor, couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you let us search the town?"
Lilian, who has always been at odds with Windsor, is also on Windsor's side at this time, but unlike Windsor's purpose, she who has been in the dungeon for a long time is naturally not for the illusory companionship, but for herself.
The dead companion was Jim, one of the three male players. Lilian felt her scalp go numb when she thought of the other party's death.
Although Windsor's tone sounded good, the mayor still felt the feeling of being questioned, and couldn't help but sneer: "If you search the town rashly, it will cause panic among the residents. As the mayor, I must take the overall situation into consideration." Seriously, it is impossible for you to destroy the original stable order of the town. Even if you are from above, you still have to make some sense, right?"
"What's more, I have done everything I can, and I have a clear conscience."
He didn't seem to want to talk to Lilian and the others. He winked at the man beside him and tried to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Andersey, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out to stop him.
Andersey blocked the mayor's way, no matter how reluctant the mayor was, he had to stop, and looked at Andersey angrily: "You..."
Unexpectedly, Andersey did not accuse him directly as the mayor thought, and the other party's eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to the mayor: "Mayor, where are you two going? Haven't seen it before, are you also an outsider?"
Because of the previous argument, the mayor's tone was not good: "This is a resident of the town, who usually lives in seclusion, and now come out with me to do something."
Andersey's eyes fell on the bag the other was carrying, and the man was stared at all the time. Although his expression didn't change, a little nervousness still flashed in his eyes.The bag he had been carrying suddenly moved. Although the middle-aged man quickly turned his body to the side, trying to block the bag with his body, Andersey could still see it clearly.
The mayor's peripheral vision has been on the man, and he also noticed the abnormality of the other party at this time, and his tone was a little more anxious: "Stop talking, we are still busy, you can take care of yourself."
And after his words fell, Andersey also moved sideways to get out of the way.
The mayor looked at Andersey suspiciously, apparently even he himself did not expect the other party to be so forthright.But after thinking about it, he knew that Andersey was obviously a smart person and didn't want to offend him.
But Ye He noticed that this time the mayor and the man did not follow the original plan to go to the next house, but left here first, as if they were afraid of being discovered by Andersey.
But what made Ye He even more curious was the death of Andersey's companion. After all, the strange expression of the long-haired sister Yu when she mentioned suicide really made him feel extra curious.
Andersey suddenly looked over the shoulders of his companions, and met Ye He's eyes.
Ye He realized that he had been discovered by Andersey, so he quickly showed an apologetic smile to the other party, and withdrew his head from watching the excitement.
Seeing the young man who shrank back like a frightened rabbit, Andersey also closed his eyes.
Both Windsor and Lilian were already surrounding him, and Windsor was staring angrily at the mayor's back as he left: "He must know something..."
Seeing Windsor with red eyes, Andersey said softly, "There are a lot of people here, let's talk about it when we go back."
The other party's gentle tone greatly comforted Windsor who was about to collapse at this time. She nodded while crying, and was supported by Lilian to walk forward.
Compared to the previous liveliness, the atmosphere in the team this time was very sluggish. The tragic death of their companions appeared before their eyes, which seemed to cast a miserable shadow over them.
The cameraman followed them for a few steps and couldn't stand the atmosphere. Seeing that there was no need for camera work at this time, he excused himself to wander around and turned around to leave. The other players naturally couldn't wait for his leaving the team. The next few players returned to the temporary house.
Because there are very few outsiders in the town, there are no hotels or other places, so they can only temporarily rent a house, and for safety reasons, every two people live in one room.
Anderse lived with the cameraman, while the remaining two male players lived in a room.However, yesterday morning, the sky was already bright, and Aaron, who lived with Jim, had washed up and was about to go downstairs. He found that Jim was still lying on the bed with his back to him, as if he was sleeping.
Aaron called Jim's name a few times, and after finding no response from the other party, he subconsciously walked to the bedside. In the sunlight, he could faintly see a red silk thread on the back of Jim's neck exposed from the quilt, but it did not He didn't care, but reached out and pushed Jim's back: "Man, get up and have breakfast!"
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened—Jim turned over and lay flat on the bed, revealing the neatly staggered "red lines" on his body.
Immediately afterwards, his body split open neatly where the red line was, and blood flowed out from the incision in an instant. The blood splashed everywhere, wet the sheets and the walls.
And when Andersey and the others felt something was wrong and rushed up, what they saw was Jim who was neatly cut into pieces like a fruit, and Aaron who was standing sluggishly by the bed with blood on his face .
The disgusting smell of blood filled the air, as if entering a slaughterhouse.
Lilian glanced at it and turned her head with chills down her spine, while Windsor was so frightened that she burst into tears.Andersey walked forward with a calm face, looking at Jim's flat body tissue at the fracture, a trace of coldness flashed across his amber eyes.
At that time, what Aaron saw on Jim was not a red line at all, but a knife edge.
After Aaron reacted, he couldn't help but vomited, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "How could it be... who killed him?!"
He still remembers that Jim greeted him normally before going to bed at night, and the two of them discussed who had the better figure, Windsor or Lilian...
What's more, Aaron didn't sleep deeply, and could wake up with the slightest noise, but this night he didn't hear any movement, and slept until dawn.
Had someone sneaked in and killed Jim while he was washing in the morning?but.......
Aaron's mind was messed up.
Andersey glanced at the knife edge: "It can't be done by humans."
The incision seemed to have been precisely measured, and every part of Jim's body was cut very evenly.
Because the NPC uncle was still eating downstairs, he could speak directly.
As soon as his words came out, the faces of all the people present changed. They all understood the meaning of Andersey's subtext.
If he was not killed by a murderer, then there is one possibility left——Jim was killed by a ghost.
Everyone's expressions suddenly became gloomy, and Aaron's face was even more pale. After all, Jim's bed was only a few centimeters away from him at that time, and he also passed by the ghost who killed Jim.
Lilian quickly regained her composure and asked, "Why did you choose Jim? Did we accidentally trigger something?"
It is precisely because they are afraid of accidentally touching the death condition that they are very careful even when they go out these few days. They did not expect to touch something unknowingly.
But even if they know there are ghosts in this town, they can't leave, after all, their mission has not been completed.
Not long after, the owner and his wife of this house also came up to check the situation because Andersey and his party did not come down after they went up.
Facing the bloody scene on the bed, the woman paused and couldn't help screaming, she rolled her eyes and passed out, while her husband barely supported her, his legs were trembling while calling the mayor .
Because there is no police in the town, they habitually call the mayor when a case occurs.
At that time, the mayor came very quickly. After seeing Jim's body, his face paled instantly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, his shoulders trembling violently.
After a delay of more than ten minutes, he recovered from the scene of bloody corpses in front of him, began to question the owner of the house and Andersey, and finally concluded that Jim's death was a vicious homicide.
Thinking of this, Windsor said angrily: "At that time, he looked enthusiastic to help us catch the murderer. Now that I think about it, it's really disgusting!"
If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't let the mayor take Jim's body away, but thought about burying it by themselves, they might have let the mayor get away with it.
At that time, the mayor saw that he couldn't convince them to take the corpse away, so he turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Andersey found a line of small words on one of Jim's corpses that seemed to be written in blood: Quinn.
And Quinn is the name of the mayor.
As a player, Jim and the mayor are neither related nor related, so it is naturally impossible to tattoo the mayor's name on his body inexplicably.
And the eyes of the few people fell on the mayor who was about to leave in an instant. Aaron couldn't hold back his emotions, and was the first to shout in surprise: "This...how can there be a name on it?!"
Hearing Aaron's words, the mayor suddenly showed a nervous expression: "How is it possible?!"
He walked over while talking, but when he was about to walk to the bedside, the word "Quinn" on Jim's body disappeared, and the mayor squinted his eyes to suppress his nausea. Naturally, it was impossible to see to have a name.
The mayor's face was obviously relaxed for a moment, and he asked suspiciously where there were words.Except for the mayor, everyone else had already seen the name clearly.
Everyone present at this time already understood that Jim's death had something to do with the mayor in front of him.They proposed to the mayor that they wanted to search the town for clues to find the murderer, but they were also rejected by the mayor.
The mayor didn't ask for an answer, and he was impatient. He asked one last time if he wanted to help dispose of Jim's body. After getting a negative answer, he turned and left. He didn't seem to notice the gaze cast on him.
After the mayor left, the owner of the house didn't dare to stay longer, and walked down first with his fainted wife.And it wasn't until there were only a few of them left in the room that Aaron asked, "The mayor... is he a ghost?"
As soon as his words came out, Windsor and Lilian couldn't help but change their expressions. After all, they have also been dealing with the mayor these days. If the other party is really a ghost, they almost passed danger every time.
Andersey shook his head, his handsome face evoked a comforting smile: "He's not a ghost, when he saw Jim's body, he also showed fear, and he didn't seem to know about it from the beginning. .”
After hearing what Andersey said, the three of them felt relieved.At that time, their attention was on Jim's body. Fortunately, Andersey had been watching the mayor's reaction.
Lilian looked at Andersey: "Then why does he have the mayor's name on him?"
Andersey said calmly, "I have a guess."
"It should be that the mayor used some method to let Jim die for him."
"What?!" The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, but they had to admit that Andersey's idea was reasonable—it was because Jim replaced the mayor, so the mayor's name appeared on his skin.
It's just this thought that made them hate the mayor's insidiousness even more, and even regarded them as scapegoats.
What scares them the most is that this is probably just the beginning, after all, maybe the mayor doesn't just need a scapegoat.
Windsor and Jim are people from the same place, and neither has experienced several instances, so they have a lot in common.Now that Jim died, Windsor's grief came not only from the fear that he would end up in the same end, but also from the sadness of losing half of his friends.
Jim's death has become a shadow over her head, so when she saw the mayor again, Windsor, who was the worst psychologically, couldn't control her emotions, and directly quarreled with the mayor.
Lilian sighed: "It's all because we were all focused on investigating Robert and didn't notice the abnormality of the mayor."
Aaron comforted: "After all, our mission this time is related to Robert."
That's right, the task of several people in this copy is to find evidence about Robert, and shooting the town's promotional video is just an excuse for them.
But as for what crime Robert committed, the task did not say, so they had to rely on their own investigation.
On the first day they arrived in the town, they received a call about Robert's murder. At that time, they thought their mission would be completed so quickly, and suppressed their joy to persuade the mayor to take them home.To the disappointment of the few people, Robert was the only one in the villa when they arrived, and the living room didn't look like a murder scene except for being a little messy.
Lilian and the others found another excuse to walk around the villa, but there was no one else in the house except Robert.And the calls they received were anonymous, so they had no way of finding out who was calling, so they had to treat it as a prank.
They also encounter obstacles when investigating the town.The people in the town had already been greeted, and there was no intention of answering their questions.It was only Andersey's inexplicable attraction to women that some girls revealed some information, saying that Robert had a few friends who had been hanging out with him all the time, but recently the press corps came, and Robert was not allowed to go out by his father.
It was clear that the mayor was afraid of something.It was precisely because the focus of the investigation was on Robert, who was hidden by the mayor, that the group ignored the mayor's possible tricks.
The more Windsor thought about it, the more angry she became: "You still said that there is no reason to harm us. It must be because we are foreigners who are easy to bully, so we are regarded as scapegoats!"
If it wasn't for the fear of exposing her real mission, Windsor would have opened her mouth to refute the mayor's words just now.
Aaron: "But we don't know how the mayor did it."
As soon as his words came out, Windsor was a little downcast.This is also what scares them. They don't know why the mayor can treat them as scapegoats, and why ghosts can jump out and kill people.
"Andersey, what are you thinking?" Lilian looked at Andersey, who seemed to be in deep thought, and realized that he had been silent for a long time.
Andersey came back to his senses and smiled: "The middle-aged man next to the mayor is a little strange. The bag on his back moved, and the mayor also saw it, and immediately wanted to leave here in a hurry."
"That's right, those two people came out of a store just now, let's find a time in the afternoon to ask the owner of the store." Aaron suggested first.
The others naturally had no opinion.
After eavesdropping for a while, Bob had to retract his head because his neck was too short and too tired. Therefore, he did not feel the embarrassment of being caught like Ye He, but pestered him to ask what happened.
Ye He sighed: "There is another death in the town."
Bob's face suddenly changed: "What? Is there a murderer in our town? How many days is this month?"
Ye He found that Bob was very interested in things other than studying.Seeing the shivering appearance of the little fat man, although he didn't know how Andersey's companion died, he still comforted him: "Didn't those people commit suicide before?"
Unexpectedly, Bob shook his head, glanced wildly around, and said after making sure that there was no one around, "I didn't have time to say it just now, but I heard from my buddies that it was very tragic when my goddess' uncle died... "
He even had to hear about the Goddess's family from other people. Ye He felt that the fire of love between Bob and the Goddess had been quietly extinguished.
But seeing the little fat man's enthusiastic appearance, Ye He swallowed it back with difficulty.
Bob didn't know what Ye He was thinking at this time, lowered his volume and pretended to be mysterious and said: "It was fine at night, when his family called in the morning, they found that he only had a complete human skin left. On the bed, the rest of the fatty liver appeared in the trash can...."
He shuddered while talking, he originally wanted to scare Ye He, but he didn't expect to scare himself first.Seeing that Ye He didn't panic at all, he cast a look of admiration in an instant.
system:【......】
One could tell from the look in Bob's eyes that the other party obviously hadn't experienced what Ye He looked like when he saw a ghost.
Hearing Bob's words, Ye He also felt a little strange. After all, according to the other party's description, that person's death was not like suicide at all.
Bob rubbed his arms: "I suspect that there are really murderers in the town. You should close the door when you sleep."
Ye He glanced at his desk, and decided to push the desk behind the door before going to bed at night.
Bob's fear came and went quickly, and after a while, he happily ran out to give the goddess a birthday present.
Ye He stroked the black cat, watched Bob's leaving back, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "He is still too young at this time, I don't know that God has quietly closed a window for him at this time."
System: [...Which window? 】
Ye He's eyes dimmed: "You can't fall in love with a goddess."
System: [Actually, your fate has also secretly marked the price, do you want to know? 】
This was the first time that it took the initiative to talk about fate in front of Ye He, and there was a bit of coaxing in that undulating mechanical voice.
This can be regarded as the bad taste of the system before, sometimes tempting the host to go to colleagues to predict their future and destiny in advance through probability and data.Almost no host can escape the temptation to predict the future, but no host is willing to follow the original destiny.
As soon as it said the words, it regretted a little, fearing that Ye He would follow the old path of some previous hosts.
Ye He asked suspiciously: "Didn't the price of my life be clearly marked, one hundred per minute?"
For some reason, upon hearing Ye He's words, the system felt relieved, but it still pretended not to care and said: 【...Forget it. 】
Ye He looked a little more hopeful: "Is there still room for this price to fluctuate downward?"
System: [Price up and down is called fluctuation, and price down is called bargaining, don't take this opportunity to confuse the concepts. 】
It understood why the self just now regretted it, it must be because it had noticed in advance that Ye He would definitely pick up the plane and bargain.
Ye He's purpose was mercilessly exposed by the system, and he was immediately disappointed.
In the afternoon, when Ye He saw Andersey and his party walking in, his body froze immediately.
Whether it's because of the opponent's appearance or because he saved himself, Ye He has a deep impression on Andersey.
Andersey greeted him with a smile: "Meet you again."
His gaze fell on the black cat in Ye He's arms. The black cat seemed to have sensed Andersey's gaze. Its front paws rested on the table and its body leaned forward, as if it was ready to catch its prey. little leopard.However, it soon realized that one of its paws was covered, and when Ye He glanced over from the corner of his eye, it immediately put away the paw, and returned to its weak appearance.
Andersey had a panoramic view of the black cat's movements, and some consideration flashed in his eyes.
Ye He didn't expect that the other party would still remember him, and he was flattered to say hello back.
The system whispered demons in his ear: 【After all, you were caught peeking this morning. 】
Ye He: "..."
Fortunately, Andersey didn't mention his peeking, but asked gently, "Excuse me, the mayor has been here before, hasn't he?"
Although he was asking, Ye He somehow heard a certain meaning.
Ye He knew that the other party must have seen the mayor leave him at that time, so he knew that denying it was useless, so he simply nodded.
Anderse was not surprised by Ye He's answer, but Aaron beside him asked anxiously, "What did those two people say? Tell us!"
Before he finished speaking, he noticed Andersey's gaze looking over, and suddenly realized that his tone was a bit stiff.
Andersey looked at Ye He with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, his tone was a little anxious, because this matter is indeed very important to us."
Because Andersey saved him, Ye He said honestly: "They didn't say anything, they just walked in and walked around, then they said they were going to the next one and left."
He paused, and added his guess: "I think they should be looking for something."
Windsor showed a disappointed look: "That's it? They didn't say anything?"
Ye He nodded: "The mayor broke in suddenly, so I was caught off guard and didn't ask anything."
Hearing Ye He's words, Andersey paused, and suddenly asked: "Then did they take anything out of the bag?"
Ye He: "By the way, there is something like a compass that was put into the bag by the middle-aged man next to the mayor."
Hearing Ye He's words, Lilian and the three standing behind Andersey suddenly showed surprise expressions.
Ye He's words verified Andersey's guess. It was obvious that the middle-aged man had a problem. Maybe he was the helper the mayor had found.
As long as the middle-aged man is caught, they may have a way to get rid of the situation of being treated as a scapegoat by the village chief.
Seeing the inexplicably cheered up people, Ye He couldn't help wondering if what he said just now was "Come on".
Andresai thanked Ye He, causing Ye He to wave his hand in embarrassment: "No..."
His words were suddenly broken by howling. Hearing this familiar business, Ye He said in his heart: [Sure enough...]
Hearing the heartbroken cry of howling wolves, a group of people turned their heads to look, and found a little fat man who was crying and struggling to cross the threshold, and came straight to Yehe: "Brother Ruiwei, I... I Goddess of..."
He obviously couldn't continue, and hiccupped several times.
Ye He said calmly, "I'm with your brother."
Ye He was not surprised by the fate of Bob's love. After all, the moment he heard "buddy" from his mouth, he knew that the other party's love was destined to be rough.
"Almost, they went to the park with me behind their backs." The little fat man choked, and stopped crying: "But Brother Revel, how do you know, do you have this kind of experience too?"
Ye He: "...Of course not."
System: [Yeah, you don't even have love. 】
Seeing that the little fat man was still looking at him with sympathy, Ye He justified himself: "I just understand love."
When Windsor and Lilian heard what he said, they immediately cast surprised glances, obviously treating Ye He as a deeply hidden scumbag.
Windsor covered her mouth and whispered, "I really didn't see it..."
Lilian also glanced at Ye He several times: "I hate scumbags the most!"
Although he couldn't hear what Windsor and Lilian were whispering, it didn't prevent Ye He from feeling the strange sight cast on him, which made Ye He a little confused.
Bob was so overwhelmed with grief that he didn't notice the other people present.
He put the hairpin that he had been clutching in his hand on the table: "She didn't accept my gift, and I don't want to see this hairpin again, brother Revel, I'll give it to you."
He has made up his mind to bid farewell to this love, and after crying tonight, he still smiles and blesses the goddess and his buddies, and he doesn't want to see this hairpin that witnessed his love failure.
It was an exquisite hairpin with a cute little pillow on it, pouring all of Bob's pocket money into it, but it couldn't be worn on the head of his beloved goddess in the end.Because the price was too high for Bob, it would be a pity to throw it away, so he decided to give it to Ye He.
Of course, Ye He couldn't possibly want to issue a card. He grabbed the card on the table and wanted to return it to Bob: "I don't..."
He doesn't need a card.
As soon as Ye He's fingertips touched the hairpin, he heard a system voice coming from his ear: [Ding——Congratulations to the host for obtaining the binding item——]
[This item is successfully bound to you. 】
What?This small hairpin turned out to be a prop? !
Although he didn't know what it was, but when he heard that it was bound to him, Ye He changed the subject: "I didn't know you knew me so well!"
The author has something to say: 【If Ye He really went to fortune-telling】
At the time of fate, Ye He: Sure enough, it was accurate
When fate befalls, Ye He: Sure enough, there should be no feudal superstition
Note: The original words of the conversation between the system and Ye He were: "She was too young at that time, and she didn't know all the gifts given by fate, and she had already marked the price secretly", from the biography "Broken" written by Austrian writer Zweig. Head Queen.
Sensing the gazes from passers-by because of Windsor's words, the mayor frowned, with a sullen look on his face: "What do you mean?"
The man next to the mayor was silent, his ordinary appearance made him unimpressive, the attention of the others in Windsor was on the mayor, and only Andersey's thoughtful eyes fell on the man.
The other two players pretended to hold Windsor, but they didn't open their mouths to reprimand each other.The cameraman stood there dumbly, watching the scene in confusion.
Seeing the mayor's appearance, Windsor became more and more angry, and she said coldly: "You know what I mean, is my companion's death related to you?!"
What, another person died? !
Ye He was shocked, he had never heard of this news.He looked at Bob subconsciously, and found that Bob also looked confused.
Ye He spoke uncertainly to the system: "This is the...fourth person who died in the town this month, right?"
System: [No wonder there are few people in the town. 】
Although he couldn't hear the mayor's words clearly, seeing how Windsor couldn't rush forward because of being dragged by his companions, Ye He guessed that the mayor should be justifying.
And just like what Ye He thought, the mayor was indeed making excuses at this time.Even when he heard Windsor's accusation, his expression was not in a hurry: "I know it is difficult for you to accept the departure of your companion, but this matter has nothing to do with me, the evidence is there, and I am trying my best to help you find the murderer." The murderer of a dead companion."
"Besides, I met you guys by chance. You guys came here to make a town promotional video. It's too late for me to thank you. What reason do you have to harm your companions?"
He spoke so grandly that Lilian, who was standing beside Windsor, couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you let us search the town?"
Lilian, who has always been at odds with Windsor, is also on Windsor's side at this time, but unlike Windsor's purpose, she who has been in the dungeon for a long time is naturally not for the illusory companionship, but for herself.
The dead companion was Jim, one of the three male players. Lilian felt her scalp go numb when she thought of the other party's death.
Although Windsor's tone sounded good, the mayor still felt the feeling of being questioned, and couldn't help but sneer: "If you search the town rashly, it will cause panic among the residents. As the mayor, I must take the overall situation into consideration." Seriously, it is impossible for you to destroy the original stable order of the town. Even if you are from above, you still have to make some sense, right?"
"What's more, I have done everything I can, and I have a clear conscience."
He didn't seem to want to talk to Lilian and the others. He winked at the man beside him and tried to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Andersey, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out to stop him.
Andersey blocked the mayor's way, no matter how reluctant the mayor was, he had to stop, and looked at Andersey angrily: "You..."
Unexpectedly, Andersey did not accuse him directly as the mayor thought, and the other party's eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to the mayor: "Mayor, where are you two going? Haven't seen it before, are you also an outsider?"
Because of the previous argument, the mayor's tone was not good: "This is a resident of the town, who usually lives in seclusion, and now come out with me to do something."
Andersey's eyes fell on the bag the other was carrying, and the man was stared at all the time. Although his expression didn't change, a little nervousness still flashed in his eyes.The bag he had been carrying suddenly moved. Although the middle-aged man quickly turned his body to the side, trying to block the bag with his body, Andersey could still see it clearly.
The mayor's peripheral vision has been on the man, and he also noticed the abnormality of the other party at this time, and his tone was a little more anxious: "Stop talking, we are still busy, you can take care of yourself."
And after his words fell, Andersey also moved sideways to get out of the way.
The mayor looked at Andersey suspiciously, apparently even he himself did not expect the other party to be so forthright.But after thinking about it, he knew that Andersey was obviously a smart person and didn't want to offend him.
But Ye He noticed that this time the mayor and the man did not follow the original plan to go to the next house, but left here first, as if they were afraid of being discovered by Andersey.
But what made Ye He even more curious was the death of Andersey's companion. After all, the strange expression of the long-haired sister Yu when she mentioned suicide really made him feel extra curious.
Andersey suddenly looked over the shoulders of his companions, and met Ye He's eyes.
Ye He realized that he had been discovered by Andersey, so he quickly showed an apologetic smile to the other party, and withdrew his head from watching the excitement.
Seeing the young man who shrank back like a frightened rabbit, Andersey also closed his eyes.
Both Windsor and Lilian were already surrounding him, and Windsor was staring angrily at the mayor's back as he left: "He must know something..."
Seeing Windsor with red eyes, Andersey said softly, "There are a lot of people here, let's talk about it when we go back."
The other party's gentle tone greatly comforted Windsor who was about to collapse at this time. She nodded while crying, and was supported by Lilian to walk forward.
Compared to the previous liveliness, the atmosphere in the team this time was very sluggish. The tragic death of their companions appeared before their eyes, which seemed to cast a miserable shadow over them.
The cameraman followed them for a few steps and couldn't stand the atmosphere. Seeing that there was no need for camera work at this time, he excused himself to wander around and turned around to leave. The other players naturally couldn't wait for his leaving the team. The next few players returned to the temporary house.
Because there are very few outsiders in the town, there are no hotels or other places, so they can only temporarily rent a house, and for safety reasons, every two people live in one room.
Anderse lived with the cameraman, while the remaining two male players lived in a room.However, yesterday morning, the sky was already bright, and Aaron, who lived with Jim, had washed up and was about to go downstairs. He found that Jim was still lying on the bed with his back to him, as if he was sleeping.
Aaron called Jim's name a few times, and after finding no response from the other party, he subconsciously walked to the bedside. In the sunlight, he could faintly see a red silk thread on the back of Jim's neck exposed from the quilt, but it did not He didn't care, but reached out and pushed Jim's back: "Man, get up and have breakfast!"
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened—Jim turned over and lay flat on the bed, revealing the neatly staggered "red lines" on his body.
Immediately afterwards, his body split open neatly where the red line was, and blood flowed out from the incision in an instant. The blood splashed everywhere, wet the sheets and the walls.
And when Andersey and the others felt something was wrong and rushed up, what they saw was Jim who was neatly cut into pieces like a fruit, and Aaron who was standing sluggishly by the bed with blood on his face .
The disgusting smell of blood filled the air, as if entering a slaughterhouse.
Lilian glanced at it and turned her head with chills down her spine, while Windsor was so frightened that she burst into tears.Andersey walked forward with a calm face, looking at Jim's flat body tissue at the fracture, a trace of coldness flashed across his amber eyes.
At that time, what Aaron saw on Jim was not a red line at all, but a knife edge.
After Aaron reacted, he couldn't help but vomited, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "How could it be... who killed him?!"
He still remembers that Jim greeted him normally before going to bed at night, and the two of them discussed who had the better figure, Windsor or Lilian...
What's more, Aaron didn't sleep deeply, and could wake up with the slightest noise, but this night he didn't hear any movement, and slept until dawn.
Had someone sneaked in and killed Jim while he was washing in the morning?but.......
Aaron's mind was messed up.
Andersey glanced at the knife edge: "It can't be done by humans."
The incision seemed to have been precisely measured, and every part of Jim's body was cut very evenly.
Because the NPC uncle was still eating downstairs, he could speak directly.
As soon as his words came out, the faces of all the people present changed. They all understood the meaning of Andersey's subtext.
If he was not killed by a murderer, then there is one possibility left——Jim was killed by a ghost.
Everyone's expressions suddenly became gloomy, and Aaron's face was even more pale. After all, Jim's bed was only a few centimeters away from him at that time, and he also passed by the ghost who killed Jim.
Lilian quickly regained her composure and asked, "Why did you choose Jim? Did we accidentally trigger something?"
It is precisely because they are afraid of accidentally touching the death condition that they are very careful even when they go out these few days. They did not expect to touch something unknowingly.
But even if they know there are ghosts in this town, they can't leave, after all, their mission has not been completed.
Not long after, the owner and his wife of this house also came up to check the situation because Andersey and his party did not come down after they went up.
Facing the bloody scene on the bed, the woman paused and couldn't help screaming, she rolled her eyes and passed out, while her husband barely supported her, his legs were trembling while calling the mayor .
Because there is no police in the town, they habitually call the mayor when a case occurs.
At that time, the mayor came very quickly. After seeing Jim's body, his face paled instantly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, his shoulders trembling violently.
After a delay of more than ten minutes, he recovered from the scene of bloody corpses in front of him, began to question the owner of the house and Andersey, and finally concluded that Jim's death was a vicious homicide.
Thinking of this, Windsor said angrily: "At that time, he looked enthusiastic to help us catch the murderer. Now that I think about it, it's really disgusting!"
If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't let the mayor take Jim's body away, but thought about burying it by themselves, they might have let the mayor get away with it.
At that time, the mayor saw that he couldn't convince them to take the corpse away, so he turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Andersey found a line of small words on one of Jim's corpses that seemed to be written in blood: Quinn.
And Quinn is the name of the mayor.
As a player, Jim and the mayor are neither related nor related, so it is naturally impossible to tattoo the mayor's name on his body inexplicably.
And the eyes of the few people fell on the mayor who was about to leave in an instant. Aaron couldn't hold back his emotions, and was the first to shout in surprise: "This...how can there be a name on it?!"
Hearing Aaron's words, the mayor suddenly showed a nervous expression: "How is it possible?!"
He walked over while talking, but when he was about to walk to the bedside, the word "Quinn" on Jim's body disappeared, and the mayor squinted his eyes to suppress his nausea. Naturally, it was impossible to see to have a name.
The mayor's face was obviously relaxed for a moment, and he asked suspiciously where there were words.Except for the mayor, everyone else had already seen the name clearly.
Everyone present at this time already understood that Jim's death had something to do with the mayor in front of him.They proposed to the mayor that they wanted to search the town for clues to find the murderer, but they were also rejected by the mayor.
The mayor didn't ask for an answer, and he was impatient. He asked one last time if he wanted to help dispose of Jim's body. After getting a negative answer, he turned and left. He didn't seem to notice the gaze cast on him.
After the mayor left, the owner of the house didn't dare to stay longer, and walked down first with his fainted wife.And it wasn't until there were only a few of them left in the room that Aaron asked, "The mayor... is he a ghost?"
As soon as his words came out, Windsor and Lilian couldn't help but change their expressions. After all, they have also been dealing with the mayor these days. If the other party is really a ghost, they almost passed danger every time.
Andersey shook his head, his handsome face evoked a comforting smile: "He's not a ghost, when he saw Jim's body, he also showed fear, and he didn't seem to know about it from the beginning. .”
After hearing what Andersey said, the three of them felt relieved.At that time, their attention was on Jim's body. Fortunately, Andersey had been watching the mayor's reaction.
Lilian looked at Andersey: "Then why does he have the mayor's name on him?"
Andersey said calmly, "I have a guess."
"It should be that the mayor used some method to let Jim die for him."
"What?!" The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, but they had to admit that Andersey's idea was reasonable—it was because Jim replaced the mayor, so the mayor's name appeared on his skin.
It's just this thought that made them hate the mayor's insidiousness even more, and even regarded them as scapegoats.
What scares them the most is that this is probably just the beginning, after all, maybe the mayor doesn't just need a scapegoat.
Windsor and Jim are people from the same place, and neither has experienced several instances, so they have a lot in common.Now that Jim died, Windsor's grief came not only from the fear that he would end up in the same end, but also from the sadness of losing half of his friends.
Jim's death has become a shadow over her head, so when she saw the mayor again, Windsor, who was the worst psychologically, couldn't control her emotions, and directly quarreled with the mayor.
Lilian sighed: "It's all because we were all focused on investigating Robert and didn't notice the abnormality of the mayor."
Aaron comforted: "After all, our mission this time is related to Robert."
That's right, the task of several people in this copy is to find evidence about Robert, and shooting the town's promotional video is just an excuse for them.
But as for what crime Robert committed, the task did not say, so they had to rely on their own investigation.
On the first day they arrived in the town, they received a call about Robert's murder. At that time, they thought their mission would be completed so quickly, and suppressed their joy to persuade the mayor to take them home.To the disappointment of the few people, Robert was the only one in the villa when they arrived, and the living room didn't look like a murder scene except for being a little messy.
Lilian and the others found another excuse to walk around the villa, but there was no one else in the house except Robert.And the calls they received were anonymous, so they had no way of finding out who was calling, so they had to treat it as a prank.
They also encounter obstacles when investigating the town.The people in the town had already been greeted, and there was no intention of answering their questions.It was only Andersey's inexplicable attraction to women that some girls revealed some information, saying that Robert had a few friends who had been hanging out with him all the time, but recently the press corps came, and Robert was not allowed to go out by his father.
It was clear that the mayor was afraid of something.It was precisely because the focus of the investigation was on Robert, who was hidden by the mayor, that the group ignored the mayor's possible tricks.
The more Windsor thought about it, the more angry she became: "You still said that there is no reason to harm us. It must be because we are foreigners who are easy to bully, so we are regarded as scapegoats!"
If it wasn't for the fear of exposing her real mission, Windsor would have opened her mouth to refute the mayor's words just now.
Aaron: "But we don't know how the mayor did it."
As soon as his words came out, Windsor was a little downcast.This is also what scares them. They don't know why the mayor can treat them as scapegoats, and why ghosts can jump out and kill people.
"Andersey, what are you thinking?" Lilian looked at Andersey, who seemed to be in deep thought, and realized that he had been silent for a long time.
Andersey came back to his senses and smiled: "The middle-aged man next to the mayor is a little strange. The bag on his back moved, and the mayor also saw it, and immediately wanted to leave here in a hurry."
"That's right, those two people came out of a store just now, let's find a time in the afternoon to ask the owner of the store." Aaron suggested first.
The others naturally had no opinion.
After eavesdropping for a while, Bob had to retract his head because his neck was too short and too tired. Therefore, he did not feel the embarrassment of being caught like Ye He, but pestered him to ask what happened.
Ye He sighed: "There is another death in the town."
Bob's face suddenly changed: "What? Is there a murderer in our town? How many days is this month?"
Ye He found that Bob was very interested in things other than studying.Seeing the shivering appearance of the little fat man, although he didn't know how Andersey's companion died, he still comforted him: "Didn't those people commit suicide before?"
Unexpectedly, Bob shook his head, glanced wildly around, and said after making sure that there was no one around, "I didn't have time to say it just now, but I heard from my buddies that it was very tragic when my goddess' uncle died... "
He even had to hear about the Goddess's family from other people. Ye He felt that the fire of love between Bob and the Goddess had been quietly extinguished.
But seeing the little fat man's enthusiastic appearance, Ye He swallowed it back with difficulty.
Bob didn't know what Ye He was thinking at this time, lowered his volume and pretended to be mysterious and said: "It was fine at night, when his family called in the morning, they found that he only had a complete human skin left. On the bed, the rest of the fatty liver appeared in the trash can...."
He shuddered while talking, he originally wanted to scare Ye He, but he didn't expect to scare himself first.Seeing that Ye He didn't panic at all, he cast a look of admiration in an instant.
system:【......】
One could tell from the look in Bob's eyes that the other party obviously hadn't experienced what Ye He looked like when he saw a ghost.
Hearing Bob's words, Ye He also felt a little strange. After all, according to the other party's description, that person's death was not like suicide at all.
Bob rubbed his arms: "I suspect that there are really murderers in the town. You should close the door when you sleep."
Ye He glanced at his desk, and decided to push the desk behind the door before going to bed at night.
Bob's fear came and went quickly, and after a while, he happily ran out to give the goddess a birthday present.
Ye He stroked the black cat, watched Bob's leaving back, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "He is still too young at this time, I don't know that God has quietly closed a window for him at this time."
System: [...Which window? 】
Ye He's eyes dimmed: "You can't fall in love with a goddess."
System: [Actually, your fate has also secretly marked the price, do you want to know? 】
This was the first time that it took the initiative to talk about fate in front of Ye He, and there was a bit of coaxing in that undulating mechanical voice.
This can be regarded as the bad taste of the system before, sometimes tempting the host to go to colleagues to predict their future and destiny in advance through probability and data.Almost no host can escape the temptation to predict the future, but no host is willing to follow the original destiny.
As soon as it said the words, it regretted a little, fearing that Ye He would follow the old path of some previous hosts.
Ye He asked suspiciously: "Didn't the price of my life be clearly marked, one hundred per minute?"
For some reason, upon hearing Ye He's words, the system felt relieved, but it still pretended not to care and said: 【...Forget it. 】
Ye He looked a little more hopeful: "Is there still room for this price to fluctuate downward?"
System: [Price up and down is called fluctuation, and price down is called bargaining, don't take this opportunity to confuse the concepts. 】
It understood why the self just now regretted it, it must be because it had noticed in advance that Ye He would definitely pick up the plane and bargain.
Ye He's purpose was mercilessly exposed by the system, and he was immediately disappointed.
In the afternoon, when Ye He saw Andersey and his party walking in, his body froze immediately.
Whether it's because of the opponent's appearance or because he saved himself, Ye He has a deep impression on Andersey.
Andersey greeted him with a smile: "Meet you again."
His gaze fell on the black cat in Ye He's arms. The black cat seemed to have sensed Andersey's gaze. Its front paws rested on the table and its body leaned forward, as if it was ready to catch its prey. little leopard.However, it soon realized that one of its paws was covered, and when Ye He glanced over from the corner of his eye, it immediately put away the paw, and returned to its weak appearance.
Andersey had a panoramic view of the black cat's movements, and some consideration flashed in his eyes.
Ye He didn't expect that the other party would still remember him, and he was flattered to say hello back.
The system whispered demons in his ear: 【After all, you were caught peeking this morning. 】
Ye He: "..."
Fortunately, Andersey didn't mention his peeking, but asked gently, "Excuse me, the mayor has been here before, hasn't he?"
Although he was asking, Ye He somehow heard a certain meaning.
Ye He knew that the other party must have seen the mayor leave him at that time, so he knew that denying it was useless, so he simply nodded.
Anderse was not surprised by Ye He's answer, but Aaron beside him asked anxiously, "What did those two people say? Tell us!"
Before he finished speaking, he noticed Andersey's gaze looking over, and suddenly realized that his tone was a bit stiff.
Andersey looked at Ye He with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, his tone was a little anxious, because this matter is indeed very important to us."
Because Andersey saved him, Ye He said honestly: "They didn't say anything, they just walked in and walked around, then they said they were going to the next one and left."
He paused, and added his guess: "I think they should be looking for something."
Windsor showed a disappointed look: "That's it? They didn't say anything?"
Ye He nodded: "The mayor broke in suddenly, so I was caught off guard and didn't ask anything."
Hearing Ye He's words, Andersey paused, and suddenly asked: "Then did they take anything out of the bag?"
Ye He: "By the way, there is something like a compass that was put into the bag by the middle-aged man next to the mayor."
Hearing Ye He's words, Lilian and the three standing behind Andersey suddenly showed surprise expressions.
Ye He's words verified Andersey's guess. It was obvious that the middle-aged man had a problem. Maybe he was the helper the mayor had found.
As long as the middle-aged man is caught, they may have a way to get rid of the situation of being treated as a scapegoat by the village chief.
Seeing the inexplicably cheered up people, Ye He couldn't help wondering if what he said just now was "Come on".
Andresai thanked Ye He, causing Ye He to wave his hand in embarrassment: "No..."
His words were suddenly broken by howling. Hearing this familiar business, Ye He said in his heart: [Sure enough...]
Hearing the heartbroken cry of howling wolves, a group of people turned their heads to look, and found a little fat man who was crying and struggling to cross the threshold, and came straight to Yehe: "Brother Ruiwei, I... I Goddess of..."
He obviously couldn't continue, and hiccupped several times.
Ye He said calmly, "I'm with your brother."
Ye He was not surprised by the fate of Bob's love. After all, the moment he heard "buddy" from his mouth, he knew that the other party's love was destined to be rough.
"Almost, they went to the park with me behind their backs." The little fat man choked, and stopped crying: "But Brother Revel, how do you know, do you have this kind of experience too?"
Ye He: "...Of course not."
System: [Yeah, you don't even have love. 】
Seeing that the little fat man was still looking at him with sympathy, Ye He justified himself: "I just understand love."
When Windsor and Lilian heard what he said, they immediately cast surprised glances, obviously treating Ye He as a deeply hidden scumbag.
Windsor covered her mouth and whispered, "I really didn't see it..."
Lilian also glanced at Ye He several times: "I hate scumbags the most!"
Although he couldn't hear what Windsor and Lilian were whispering, it didn't prevent Ye He from feeling the strange sight cast on him, which made Ye He a little confused.
Bob was so overwhelmed with grief that he didn't notice the other people present.
He put the hairpin that he had been clutching in his hand on the table: "She didn't accept my gift, and I don't want to see this hairpin again, brother Revel, I'll give it to you."
He has made up his mind to bid farewell to this love, and after crying tonight, he still smiles and blesses the goddess and his buddies, and he doesn't want to see this hairpin that witnessed his love failure.
It was an exquisite hairpin with a cute little pillow on it, pouring all of Bob's pocket money into it, but it couldn't be worn on the head of his beloved goddess in the end.Because the price was too high for Bob, it would be a pity to throw it away, so he decided to give it to Ye He.
Of course, Ye He couldn't possibly want to issue a card. He grabbed the card on the table and wanted to return it to Bob: "I don't..."
He doesn't need a card.
As soon as Ye He's fingertips touched the hairpin, he heard a system voice coming from his ear: [Ding——Congratulations to the host for obtaining the binding item——]
[This item is successfully bound to you. 】
What?This small hairpin turned out to be a prop? !
Although he didn't know what it was, but when he heard that it was bound to him, Ye He changed the subject: "I didn't know you knew me so well!"
The author has something to say: 【If Ye He really went to fortune-telling】
At the time of fate, Ye He: Sure enough, it was accurate
When fate befalls, Ye He: Sure enough, there should be no feudal superstition
Note: The original words of the conversation between the system and Ye He were: "She was too young at that time, and she didn't know all the gifts given by fate, and she had already marked the price secretly", from the biography "Broken" written by Austrian writer Zweig. Head Queen.
