MTLNOVEL Chapter 39: 43
Everyone tightly closed their eyes, pricking up their ears in alarm as they observed the surrounding movements. Ye Xi had reacted quickly just now, avoiding the lower position of the table and moving closer to the middle of the dining table. This position cleverly placed her at a close distance from each of her teammates, allowing them to sense each other's reactions.
So within a few seconds, she felt Wang Xinran's left arm trembling, Jiang Du's breathing behind her trembling, and her shoulder behind her shaking as well.
Suddenly, Jiang Du screamed loudly: "Ah ——" and his fellow generals panicked and fled, their teammates were immediately stabbed and fell left and right.
"Who who who you stepped on my foot!" Tham Dao complained.
"I'm really sorry..." Jiang Du's voice trembled, and the next sentence became even more choked up, almost like she was about to cry, "Someone… Someone touched my head..."
Shen Tao's voice suddenly choked up. Everyone at the table instinctively turned towards Jiang You, but no one dared to roll their eyes. They could only try their best to maintain silence, hoping to hear some clues from the silence.
"Someone touched my head" —— Jiang Du was experiencing a feeling that was actually far more terrifying than the six words that sounded a bit stupid.
All sounds were silent, she felt a bony hand touching the top of her head, the fingernails of that hand were very long and hard, the skin was dry, as if it was looking for something similar, stiffly but persistently touching the top of her head.
Jiang Du's hair was touched until it rustled softly. Through this layer of hair, she felt goosebumps rising on her scalp layer after layer.
"I, I wouldn't have died if I didn't roll my eyes, right..." Jiang Du was so scared that he was about to cry, desperately wanting to get some cheering points from his teammates.
Vuong Tam Nhiem felt her fear, immediately nodded: "Yes yes yes, you must not roll your eyes, endure!"
Diep Tich took a deep breath: "Yes, according to the rules, as long as you don't roll your eyes then..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Du's whole body turned cold: "... Miss Li?!"
"..." Ye Xi bit his lips lightly, although fear was rising in his heart, he still tried his best to maintain his calm and let everyone take the precautionary measures, "That... According to the rules, everyone has to hide under the table, so when you hear me, everyone don't run around, don't just run out carelessly..."
Jiang Du was on the verge of tears: "You you you you what do you want to say..."
"... There is something on my chest." Ye Xi felt a cold chill spread throughout her body, it was a natural reaction brought about by fear, trying to force her to collapse, "It suddenly appeared... It directly appeared inside my clothes. Its breath was right next to my ear, there was blood…"
"Aaaaa don't say anymore a!!!" Tham Dao beside him was devastated, "Why say it aaaaa!!! I have pictures!!!"
Diep Tich described the terror in detail, and her fear decreased. Tham Dao's loud screams made her ears numb. She slowly calmed down: "Let everyone prepare mentally."
Teammates: "..."
In a certain parallel space, a group of 10 people of 17 members had only four people left after two items. Suddenly, the light outside the Lu Ye restaurant changed from bright to dark. The four mentally and physically exhausted tourists quickly hid under the table, closing their eyes as a rule, not daring to move.
A few seconds later, a female student on the left suddenly felt her chest sink.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she could even more delicately feel the feeling of her nails pressing against her skin. The feeling of something hard gently blowing across her skin made people shiver.
The female student bit her lower lip tightly, her body covered in sweat like summer rain. Then, she clearly felt the thing that was placed on her chest move forward a little bit, she could feel his breathing, his hair... Moreover, her brain was filled with some horror movie scenes she had seen before.
She felt as if a demon was possessed, lying in front of her was a spirit, its entire body was pale, its eyes were also completely white, it had already targeted her, wanting to drag her into hell.
At this moment, she felt a slight itch on the back of her neck.
Like a soft strand of hair fell into the collar, on careful feeling, the outer layer of the hair seemed to have a layer of slippery, not knowing if it was blood, or some other dirt.
Suddenly in a flash, a feeling that overcame all her senses hit her straight in the nerve.
—— she felt, someone was looking at her.
There was someone above her head, hanging a strange smile, looking at her without blinking.
This feeling quickly occupied her every thought, every nerve, causing her every joint to uncontrollably exude a chill. She began to tremble even more violently, an irrational thought began to stir in her trembling.
... Take a look, see what it is?
This is probably the human response to fearlessness when faced with stress. The stronger the fear, the more one wants to stare at something clear.
The female student tried her best to hold back, closing her eyes tightly and pressing down.
But the thing on her chest, the glass came closer. A kind of indescribable feeling touched her lips, but she didn't know if it was a ghost reaching out towards her, or something else...
She also did not know what he wanted to do.
What does he want to do after all...
Her spirit had almost disappeared, her senses instead became closer, clearly feeling that the object in front of her was only a hair's breadth away.
Afterward...
Just in the moment of losing support, she couldn't help but lift her eyelids a little.
"A ——!!!"
Screaming loudly to break the throat.
The light in her eyes was indeed the spirit in her imagination, the pure white eyes were just relative to hers, only less than an inch away.
She suddenly fell backwards, her limbs fumbled as she dodged, not only pushing her teammate to her side, but also causing her to see the object hanging above.
—— under the table, hung a female ghost.
She was dressed in white, and in an extremely twisted position, she climbed under the table. Her body was tilted upwards, her head was turned 180°, and her pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at her.
"Ha ha ha ——" the female ghost's throat rolled, her laughter terrifying.
.
From the merry-go-round on the small road leading to the Luye Restaurant, the tourists watching Xiao Leng playing games with the children with complicated emotions counted on their fingers for at least ten minutes.
This is really a simple and crude "Guess the Shadow" game, except for the initial 10 internal rules, there are no hidden rules, the gameplay is also simple and easy to understand.
Except...
Except in front of the child's hand is completely abnormal.
Normally, a child's right hand holds the left hand tightly, the two hands clasp their thumbs together, and the dove is a dove. One hand is "seven" and the other hand is "two" stacked together, which is a rabbit. In front of the child, they can also make simple horse, dove, rabbit, but at first, the three views are simple, later...
His arm suddenly stretched out, suddenly without warning, it passed through Tieu Lanh's eyes, from bottom to top, circling around his body several times.
The two brave tourists in the group immediately screamed in panic, but the big boss in front of them didn't even move a bit.
Finally, a circle from his neck circled over, after this circle, the other hand stopped at the side of Xiao Leng's face, four fingers above, thumb below, pinching up and shaking rapidly.
The little child still smiled innocently and innocently: "Uncle, guess what this is?"
The tourists behind were all scared to the point of being Spartans, but Xiao Leng didn't even frown a bit. Even though he was busy, he still calmly and softly said: "Let me guess... It's a python?"
This kind of person who doesn't care about his mouth is obviously the kid next door.
"Ha ha ha ha! Right! Uncle is so smart!" The little boy's hand retracted in a second, returning to its normal length, and he jumped up and down clapping his hands, "Here it comes! Here it comes!"
Xiao Leng would always accompany him like this, and his winning rate would always be around 60%. The rest of the time, he would pretend to be sad and ponder for a moment, then say: "Uncle doesn't know what this is? Can you tell me?"
The little boy will generously tell him the answer.
The tourists were shocked and roared as they watched them play round after round. At first, they were still shocked because the little boy was acting crazy and falling off the stage. After watching more, they were also dumbfounded. Instead, they began to worry that "Mr. Zhao Qiansun", this immovable appearance, might anger the little boy.
After playing a few more rounds, Tieu Lanh was a bit tired, he simply bent down and sat down, his long legs spread out haphazardly beside the little boy.
The little boy's two hands twisted and intertwined again, forming a shape that hung in front of Xiao Leng. A pair of pliers almost touched Xiao Leng's eyelids: "Uncle, what is this?"
"Um... I don't know." Tieu Lanh looked at the figure on the ground and yawned, thinking that he couldn't help but want to activate the prop.
This time, his chosen prop is still [Slaughter Artist]. Now this prop has been upgraded to level 2, in the Rule Realm it can be used twice, considered a very powerful attack type equipment.
However, this amusement park occupies a very large area, and there are probably many dangers behind it. He shouldn't use up all the props because of this kind of impatience.
But...
The checkpoint is also a waste of time.
Tieu Lang silently smacked his lips, maintaining patience.
The little boy withdrew his hands again and tilted his head, saying: "This is a scorpion!"
"Oh." Tieu Lanh smiled, "You are so good. Come, come again, uncle, guess what?"
On the other hand, the tourist: "..."
Why are you still playing around?
The little boy passed by, embarrassed and a little embarrassed: "I have to go home to eat!"
"Oh." Tieu Lanh still had that same smile, very much like an adult, he instructed, "Pay attention to safety."
"Yes!" The little boy's expression was gentle, "Thank you for playing with me, uncle. See you again!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Tieu Lanh to say anything more, and ran along the small path happily.
Just sat down, Tieu Lanh was too lazy to get up, turned his head to look at him for a while, until he couldn't see him then stood up.
He leisurely brushed away the dust on his clothes, his teammates' faces remained complicated for a while, someone said in confusion: "... Mr. Trieu."
"Favor?"
The other party coughed: "You already knew this way you could escape safely, but you still don't know what to do and can only accompany him first?"
This person asked and thought, even if Xiao Leng replied later, it still wouldn't affect the respect in his heart at all.
Because if it was him, from the moment that python passed by he would have been scared numb, there was no way he could stay mentally stable and tense for more than about ten minutes.
Tieu Lang lightly said: "Of course it's because I know I can escape safely."
"Hey..." The fake problem and the other teammates glanced at each other, confused, "Why?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Xiao Leng slowly repeated the 10 rules, "1. Can't interrupt the game; 2. Can't always lose; 3. Can't always win; 4. Can't be impatient; 5. Don't make him feel like you're giving in to him; 6. If he's happy, you don't need to be polite; 7. If he's angry, you don't need to be afraid; 8. If his request is reasonable, you can satisfy it; 9. If his request is too much, you'd better refuse; 10. Adults are adults, children are children."
"Having these rules, in fact, is not about how the game should be played, in other words, what this game is is not important. It could be guessing the silhouette, it could be rock-paper-scissors... Even if he wanted to take out a deck of poker cards and hit 21, it wouldn't matter."
"These real rules of thumb are actually 'to coax children'."
"When coaxing a child, whether he always loses or always wins, he will not be happy. Directly interrupting him will naturally make him even angrier. Being impatient and making him feel like you are giving in to him is not a happy thing for a child."
"When a child is happy, he always hopes that an adult can be happy with him. But when a child is angry——if a normal adult were to treat a normal child, he probably wouldn't be afraid."
"At the same time, we cannot be too lenient or indulgent towards children. Reasonable requests can be satisfied, but excessive requests must be refused."
"The answer to this question is written on the riddle." Xiao Leng relaxed his shoulders and concluded, "'Adults are adults, children are children', as long as adults show their normal attitude towards children, there will be no danger."
His teammates fell silent because of his overly gentle reaction. A few seconds later, someone said unwillingly: "But he… he's always like that, aren't you afraid?"
Tieu Lang: "I know I can definitely pass, what's there to be afraid of?"
"..." The teammates inevitably had some doubts.
Standing in the row behind Trieu Thuong Phong squinted and pushed down his glasses.
He calculated in his heart that he felt a little guilty, so he slightly shrank his head and neck, revealing a kind of indescribable contempt.
After making up his mind, he silently started using the [Score Tool], using his mind to control the score tool to identify three people, one was "Zhao Qiansun", one was a female student called Gu Si, and the other was called Sun Qi, also a female student.
Among them, Sun Qi only pulled in to make up the numbers, because the [Score Gas] required three people to be selected. But "Zhao Qiansun" and Gu Si, after observing them from the front, he really suspected that they had special identities.
Props confirmed use, "Zhao Qiansun", Gu Si, Sun Qi jumped out from above their heads, only Zhao Shangfeng could see the score card, the card's numbers quickly rolled, stopping a few seconds later.
"Trieu Tien Ton" on the head represents 3 points, Co Tu is 2 points, Ton Ky is 1 point.
[Scoring Tool]Start using the props, you can randomly assign 3 strange participants to score. Under the premise that the score of a special identity participant is definitely higher than that of an ordinary participant, the score of a similar identity participant is random. If there are native people, then the native people's score is completely random.
This means, unless he is unlucky and the three people in the circle have a small chance of being disturbed by a local, then Zhao Qiansun is probably a "special identity" person, Gu Si is also likely to be one, only the emperor Sun Qi is probably an ordinary person.
Of course, there was also the possibility that he really had a background, and that the three of them were actually ordinary people, and their performance score was just "Similar identity participants randomly score cards". But Zhao Shangfeng felt that this probability was not high, because he had observed for a long time, "Zhao Qianzun" the type who controlled the overall situation wherever he went and had an overly steady mentality, had a lot of experience in looking through the dungeon.
But ordinary people will not enter the dungeon so frequently.
As long as his judgment was correct, the matter would be simple. He would act as a bad luck fake and find an opportunity to kill this "Mr. Zhao Qiansun". If Zhao Qiansun was a good luck fake or a bad luck fake, he could rob the props; if he was a chaos fake, Zhao Shangfeng's bad luck fake identity would change to a chaos fake because he killed the chaos fake. Although there would be no immediate profit, from now on he would be able to obtain props and gain points, which would be very profitable.
Trieu Thuong Phong was calculating meticulously, at the same time, Co Tu was also evaluating the "Mr. Trieu Tien Ton" in front of him.
The amusement park dungeon is a high-difficulty battlefield with many participants. It was originally a good place for them to collect KPIs, but now, with Mr. Zhao Qiansun's presence, this mission has become extremely difficult to solve.
As a native, Gu Si was really worried that he wouldn't get any results, and at the same time, he didn't have the courage to taste the head of this "Mr. Zhao Qiansun" first. He was anxious and began to wonder how to seize the right to speak into his own hands.
Even if just a portion of people listen to her, things will be much easier.
.
Luc Da's teammates hiding under the table quickly understood why Diep Tich wanted to vividly describe the terrifying situation he was going through.
—— because that is a very effective preventive acupuncture.
The great psychologists admit that their abilities are different. If the same thing happened to Ye Xi, she would tremble and resist. If it happened to another person, the other person would probably lose control of their actions.
But after listening to Ye Xi's description, everyone had expectations for this, and their psychological defenses were more or less raised. Thinking about how Ye Xi had already tensed up, and there was no real danger, the others also became more able to grit their teeth and persevere. Even Jiang Yu, who was howling and crying out loud, also calmed down, but did not open his eyes.
Just like that, fortunately the remaining six people were trembling violently and were able to withstand the restored light.
The lights in the cafeteria immediately lit up, penetrating through the eyelids and reflecting faint blood vessels on the retina. Ye Xi held his breath, carefully sensing the presence of light, then tilted his ear to listen to some music, then carefully lifted his eyelids to a very narrow gap.
Through that crack, she looked out the window from afar and saw that the darkness outside had already dissipated, returning to its original brightness. All the terrifying feelings just now were no longer there. Ye Xi opened her eyes completely. The dining table below was clean. Other than their shivering teammates, she couldn't see anything strange.
"It's nothing." She let out a soft breath and crawled out from under the table. Only then did the others dare to roll their eyes, still fearfully looking around them, before returning to their seats one after another.
After this round of rolling around, everyone was in no mood to eat. Lu Mai lay on the table, lazing around, frowning: "I'll go straight away… Hurry up and meet up with the rabbit tour guide. I'd rather go play some adventure game, than stay in this restaurant..."
Diep Tich glanced at Vuong Tam Nhiem, Vuong Tam Nhiem understood, immediately opened her mouth to ask her: "Miss Ly, look at the food tray and bowl, is there a problem?"
"I feel there is indeed a problem." Diep Tich nodded, his gaze drifting towards the main exit of the restaurant.
This is a very convenient road, at first glance, it can ensure that tourists can pass through even in the highest peaks. The two carts used for collecting food trays and rice bowls, one on the left and one on the right, are about three or four meters apart, which is obviously inconvenient for tourists.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's make a bet!" After speaking, she stood up, carried her tray and headed straight to the right.
"Miss Li!" Lam Que Nghi felt that this method was too rude and wanted to call her back, but Diep Tich didn't pay attention.
Diep Tich originally also thought about "acting out" more with Vuong Tam Nhiem, at least if it went too far then they would "bet", but after going through that mental torture just now, she was a bit tired now, and had no mind to let such an acting star cling to her.
So just directly show the exact answer to everyone, to the point that it may seem sudden —— after being scared by the invisible and intangible ghosts, how can one disregard everything!
But when she walked to the right side of the waiter in front, Diep Tich suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a way to make this transition look more reasonable, and without revealing her fake lucky identity.
She stopped walking, raised her hand to touch Mr. Mao Tu's chest to show her the rank.
Just as he was about to reach out to take the tray of food, the waiter was clearly stunned by the sight of the fallen man. He then revealed an almost flattering smile and asked in a trembling voice, "Hey, young lady, are you a friend of Mr. Mao Zi?"
"Yes, I am." Diep Tich carelessly pressed down on the lock on the pendant, revealing Mr. Mao Tu's photo.
Then he bowed again, pressed it, and asked him slowly: "Excuse me, do the food trays and rice bowls really have to be separated and placed on two sides? I feel this rule is a bit strange."
She said, her thumb caressing the gemstone pendant on her body: "Please tell me the exact rules, Mr. Mao Zi will bless you."
"Of, of course..." The waiter heard the word 'blessing' and became even more excited, "You just need to bring the food tray and rice bowls directly to me, I guarantee there will be no problem!"
"Okay, thank you." Diep Tich smiled and handed him the tray of food and rice, then turned around and calmly walked towards his teammates who were still sitting at the dining table.
The pendant on the chest that confirms the dialogue completion slowly turns semi-transparent, indicating that the chance used in this conversation has been exhausted. If you want to use it again, you have to wait for the next instance.
This operation was enough to reassure people. The teammates woke up a bit, and one by one they carried the trays and walked towards the right side of the waiter.
The boss finished handing over the dishes and waited for the red rabbit to quickly enter the room. He still had that exaggerated and lively demeanor and spread his hands: "Let me see if the boss is still a good friend of the red rabbit!"
"What..." Shen Tao was about to ask a question when the red rabbit suddenly leaned closer to him, its huge nose moving and its three lips trembling together, circling around him and sniffing lightly.
Tham Dao therefore kept quiet. He felt really uncomfortable, and a bit scared.
After circling around for a while, the red rabbit nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you are still a good friend of the red rabbit!"
Then go down one person.
Tham Dao did not react at all, although it was still a confusing sight.
He looked towards Diep Tich, Diep Tich frowned and thought, lowering his voice: "It's possible... It's judging whether or not someone has eaten rabbit meat."
"Fresh fish, delicious beef, delicious pork, what does rabbit meat look like?" —— but what will happen if you eat rabbit meat?
Looks like the pink rabbit is not happy.
Two elaborate words, the second ranked Wang Xinran also passed through the door. After that, it was Jiang Du, the red rabbit came to her side, sniffed a few times, clearly stiffened: "Hmm? You..."
Too raised head, a pair of deep green eyes and Jiang Du four eyes met.
Jiang Du's breathing was even, the red rabbit pondered for a moment, but the closer it got, the more serious it smelled.
Diep Tich thought about Khuong Du eating a bite of beef of unknown origin, even though he spit it out later, it still made him nervous.
The red rabbit stayed on Jiang Du for about three minutes before making a judgment: "Not bad, you are still a good friend of the red rabbit!"
Jiang Du suddenly let out a sigh of relief, his legs went weak, and he almost fell down.
After that, Ye Xi, Lan Guiyi, and Lu Mai had never come into contact with rabbit meat before, so they passed the test very quickly. After verifying everyone, the red rabbit happily spun around: "Very good, everyone is a good comrade of the red rabbit! Red rabbit is very happy!"
"Let's go, we're going to the next station now! The next project you guys will definitely like!"
"What is the next project?" Diep Tich asked calmly.
"It is this musician's truly acclaimed 'mirror maze'!" The red rabbit paused for a moment, then said, "But ahead, we will go to the 'joy charging station' first, to replenish some joy for the next journey!":,,.
