Tang Si grabbed the remaining seven golden melon seeds on the plate, and said calmly, "No more?"

The white parrot proudly raised its bright yellow crest feathers, "No more."

"Oh?" Tang Si's tone was still calm, and he glanced at the golden melon seed pinched between his thumb and forefinger, and within a second, the golden melon seed was crushed flat.

Does the boss have double pliers hands?Wang Jing looked at the melon seeds that had turned into gold leaves and was dumbfounded. She had tried them when she was queuing up just now, and these golden melon seeds were harder than the 3D hard gold transfer beads she bought before.

"I'll give you seven seconds to think clearly," Tang Si casually threw the flat gold leaf back onto the plate, "Seven."

Can it still threaten NPCs?Wang Liang felt that the door to a new world had been opened.

"Alarm! Alert!" the parrot raised its head and shouted to the maid next to it.

The maid ran out quickly.

"Six." Tang Si calmly squeezed the second golden melon seed into a leaf.

The parrot strutted back and forth on the stand, "You are miserable, you are miserable!"

"Five." Tang Si flattened the third golden melon seed without haste.

The parrot fluttered its wings and gloated, "The judge will give you a plane ticket and leave directly when he comes."

Song Ci: ……………

"Four."

The maid still didn't come back.

The parrot sensed—something was wrong.

"three."

Parrot:………………

When Tang Si picked up the sixth one, the parrot looked at the unmoving gate, its trembling paws began to lose its grip on the pole, "Look, for the sake of your spending so much, I can give you another gift— a story."

"Choose one more." Tang Si raised his handsome long eyebrows at Song Ci, calmly threw the remaining two golden melon seeds back to the plate, and the hard melon seeds hit the plate with a pleasant sound.

"Uh, 'Once upon a time there was a wolf'." Song Ci glanced at the 'black-hearted profiteers' on the shelf, and quickly selected the one that was 'unselected' just now.

"Are you sure?" The parrot nervously took two steps back and forth on the stand.

Song Ci:? ? ? ?

So, the meaning of this sentence is to remind him that this topic is also a scam?

Song Ci is as good as others, "Then replace it with 'Once upon a time there was a flower'."

The parrot was still jumping back and forth repeatedly, "Are you sure? Are you sure?"

Song Ci: ……………

So, you only have two serious stories, and the remaining three titles are all lies?

"Just spend it." Song Ci waved his hand in resignation.

The parrot raised its head and said solemnly, "There is a motto in our bird family, 'Don't get close to roses, you will become unlucky.'"

Song Ci & Tang Si & Wang Liang: …………

"O...Over!" The parrot black bean-like eyes looked at Tang Si timidly, and tremblingly said the closing words.Wang Liang felt that she could see fear on the parrot's fluffy face.

"It seems that this is indeed the end." Tang Si exchanged glances with Song Ci.

The three stood up, Tang Si grabbed the remaining golden melon seeds on the plate, and threw them into the parrot's white porcelain jar.

Opening the door, the business man in the dark blue robe still firmly occupied the first place, and the previous white polka-dot suit disappeared again.There were slightly fewer people queuing at the gate than before. In order to save time, those players who had formed a team should all act in groups.

Seeing them coming out, the business man turned his head silently, looking out of sight and out of mind.

"Wow, I just found out today that I can still threaten NPCs. This feeling is so refreshing!" Wang Liang-Lu resisted not daring to say anything, and returned to Song Ci's room, pounding the pillow and laughing loudly.This is the first time she has seen an NPC deflated in front of a player.

Song Ci: ...

In fact, the bird only lost two or three golden melon seeds, and they really listened to two nonsense.

"The only serious clues tonight are the first two."

"Considering that many of the remaining players are solo players, it's reasonable to only set two normal clues." Tang Si tapped the tea table lightly with his fingertips, "What do you think about those two rumors. "

Wang Liang, who had had enough laughing, sat upright and fiddled with the bangles near her ears, "Obviously, according to the rumors, the ancestors of Earl Moonlight caught the mermaid princess Sasha. Then, they probably because of that The rumors of immortality cruelly killed the mermaid princess and ate its flesh. As a result, the irony is that instead of gaining the ability to live forever, they contracted a strange disease. From then on, no one can live beyond the age of 40."

"Then what's going on with the haunted thing?" Song Ci behind the desk—with two minds, participated in the discussion while drawing.

"Maybe it's one of the symptoms of the earl's illness. For example, he will have water thirst on the night of the full moon, which can only be relieved by jumping into the pool or bathtub." Wang Liang said uncertainly.

Tang Si frowned, "But according to the information we got, the Earl himself is afraid of water."

Wang Liang choked, "Boss, what do you think?"

"I think the mermaid princess is probably not dead, but imprisoned." Tang Si pointed to the mermaid drawn in pencil on the wall, "The person in the picture is probably her."

"Not dead?" Wang Liang exclaimed in a low voice.

Tang Si moved his jaw lightly, "eating meat and drinking blood is just a vague description, and it may not be necessary to kill her. I guess, the ancestors of Earl Moonlight's family probably wanted to use her as a 'panacea', generation after generation passed on."

"You mean, after she was captured by the Earl of Moonlight's family, she was imprisoned for more than a hundred years, and her flesh was cut and bled every so often?" Wang Liang was stunned, and suddenly felt creepy, this is too cruel!

"That's not right," Wang Liang thought of the curse that the Earl of Moonlight's family could not live to be 40 years old. "Since eating the flesh and blood of a mermaid can only shorten your life, it is not a panacea, but a poison, right? Who would eat it knowing it is poison?"

"When the benefits outweigh the risks." Song Ci raised her head, "Don't forget, in addition to immortality, the legendary mermaid blood can also stimulate people's talents. If it is said that acquiring the ability to revitalize the family is the positive effect of mermaid blood and flesh Effects, not living to be 40 years old is a rejection reaction and negative effect of the human body, the family of the Earl of Moonlight faced this gamble and chose to accept it.”

"talent?"

"For example, the current Earl of Moonlight's business ability."

"Wait, let me rub it down," Wang Liang pressed the pillow under her arm, "Combined with the rumor behind, there will be water ghosts on the 15th of every month. On the 15th of every month, the Earl's temper will become Capricious. Then can we assume that Earl Moonlight probably needs to drink the blood of the Mermaid Princess every month for NO.15. When he was in good health, he could go to the place where the Mermaid Princess was detained, but now his body is too If it’s too bad, we need to transport the mermaid princess to his room, are those strange water marks left during the transport?”

"The details are subject to discussion, but it makes sense in theory." Tang Si poured two cups of tea and handed them to Song Ci and her respectively, "However, everything is our guess based on clues, and there is no relevant evidence. Moreover, those The child's death is also not currently connected."

"If we lack evidence, let's look for it. There are still seven days to come!" Wang Liang pointed to the mermaid on the wall full of fighting spirit, "For example, if we can find the place where the princess is being held, then we can basically confirm the story— Mostly."

On the oil painting, the picture behind the mermaid has not been fully completed, but it looks like a cave, which should be where Princess Sasha is held.

Song Ci picked up the teacup and took a sip, "If she is really imprisoned, the place of detention should meet at least three basic conditions. First, secret, second, close to the castle, third, water. Combined For the dark atmosphere in the picture, the two most likely places are a cave in the nearby mountain, or a dark room in the castle."

Tang Si looked at him, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Yes, there is." Song Ci drank the tea in the cup and put it on the table, "but it's quite abnormal, and I'd better not talk about it until I find evidence."

Wang Liang: ……………

You actually have more perverted ideas than this?

For the rest of the time, Song Ci stayed in the room and continued to copy the paintings in the studio. Tang Si and Wang Liang first went to the housekeeper and the maids to ask about the darkroom, but unfortunately there was no result.

After that, they went to the garden again.When the sky was about to light, the bones of the fourth child were found. This time the necklace on the bones was the birthstone of September, sapphire.

Because Bai Kan said that it is best to collect all the bones, this time they also brought back the bones they found before.

Although Song Ci was not too afraid of skeletons, the four skeletons placed in the corner of the living room made him feel a little weird.

So, enduring his drowsiness, he forcefully released Bai Kan from the skill book, handed over the bones of the four children to him for testing, and then fell asleep.

When he woke up, Bai Kan had already returned to the skill book, and there was an inspection sheet pressed under each skull.

While Song Ci was eating, Wang Jing and Tang Si, who got up earlier than him, circulated the test results.

"Everyone was poisoned? And they were all Earl Moonlight's children? How much this man hates the Earl, and secretly poisoned so many of his children." Wang Liang felt a little unbelievable, "This man wouldn't Are you still in the castle now?"

"Maybe it's still there in these two days, but it won't be sure in a few days." Tang Si looked at the list in his hand and said.

Wang Liang was silent for a while, and suddenly realized, "Could you be talking about the Earl himself?"

"Four children, male and female, belonged to different wives. They were poisoned in his castle and buried under rose bushes. Even if it wasn't by him, it must have been with his acquiescence. Otherwise, I see no reason why he should not investigate the matter thoroughly. If he had, the bones should not lie under the flowers, but be moved to the earl's family graveyard. "

"Maybe it's a special custom? For example, children who died young can't enter the family cemetery?" Wang Liang guessed wildly.

Tang Si: ……………

"Then at least you can prepare a coffin." Song Ci said holding up a spoon.It's fine if you can't enter the family cemetery, and it's a bit unreasonable to not even have a coffin.

Wang Jing slapped her forehead with a headache, "It's over, I'm getting more and more confused."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the third round of the knockout round officially began.

Everyone still draws cards in the same way as drawing roses, but the talking parrot next to yesterday disappeared.

Song Ci drew his own card from the opening cup, and the edge was a yellow background color that he had never seen before.

Min card!Song Ci immediately had the answer in his heart.

On the slender board stood a bearded man in plain clothes with bright eyes, and behind him were red brick houses.There are two placards on the side of the road, 【Keep your eyes open! 】【unity is strength! 】.

[Identity: Ordinary civilian

Faction: Good People Faction

Function: Night: None.

Daytime: Has the right to vote freely to expel werewolves.

Restrictions: None. 】

This was the first time Song Ci got the closed-eyed player card, and it was also the card with the shortest description he had ever seen.

He raised his head and was meeting the eyes of No. 5.The other party covered Kong Kong's left shoulder, and raised the corners of his lips meaningfully.

After following the maid back to his room, Song Ci silently estimated the progress of the wolf team in his heart, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. He had an ominous premonition that he would be stabbed again tonight!

Sure enough, a few minutes later, he heard slight footsteps in the room.

Thinking of the coming knife point, Song Ci couldn't help shivering slightly, and shrank back subconsciously.The last kill in the wine-red round-neck robe left a dark shadow on him.

"Bang!" In a panic, his elbow bumped into the small tea table, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Hey, hey, don't be afraid." Someone comforted him with a voice like a voice changer.The footsteps stopped not far from him, and then there was no movement.

Song Ci:? ? ?

what's the situation?

After a long time, Song Ci heard the man sighed a long time, with a tone of discussion, "I'll lightly prick your index finger with a needle, hold on, okay?"

Song Ci nodded hurriedly.It wouldn't hurt too much, which was the best thing for him.

A few seconds later, Song Ci felt someone holding the back of his hand, and then there was a slight tingling between his fingers.

"I'm sorry." The man stuck something on his finger guiltily, and then backed out.

After the room became quiet again, Song Ci touched her index finger. It seemed like a Band-Aid?

Song Ci: ……………

This werewolf, after stabbing him, put a Band-Aid on him?

"Tsk, this werewolf is really gentle. If I had come a little later, your wound might have healed." The young man in military uniform who appeared next to him teased.

Song Ci: ……………

The author has something to say:

Mini Theater Alarm

Maid [running over in panic]: Alert, a player is threatening Xiao Huang!

The young man in military uniform [immediately got up and walked out to activate short-term protection mode]: Who?
