MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 10

On the other side, inside the homestay.

The question-and-answer session was completed, and there was no reason for everyone to stay in the broken basement. They immediately divided into two groups, entered the elevator in batches, and returned to the lobby.

There was no one in the hall at this time. Only two piles of gray powder remained at the elevator door. Everyone circumvented carefully and came to the table again.

He had just relaxed a little, but when facing the huge chessboard, he suddenly became heavy again. The squad leader coughed: "Whose turn is it now?"

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and then he remembered that it was his turn. Smiling awkwardly, he raised the dice and threw it on the table.

He was unlucky this time, the chess piece moved forward a few squares and just stopped in the event square. He rolled his throat and pulled out an event card. Seeing that there was no clock pattern on it, he was immediately relieved.

Looking closely at the content on the card, his expression became strange again.

—[Event: After a thrilling adventure, you finally found the exit of the B&B. What you didn't expect was that there was a familiar figure blocking the crumbling gate—the cruel truth finally came. Only by winning the final struggle can you truly leave here. 】

[Currently eliminated or dead players, please refer to the [Red Guide] action. 】

[For players who have not yet been eliminated, please refer to the [Blue Guide] for action. 】

…

guide?

what guide?

After listening to the squad leader read the event card, everyone was a little dumbfounded. It was only later that I realized that two thin booklets had appeared on the table at some point.

As described in the event card, one with a red cover and one with a blue cover.

Of course Xu Tuoran knew that she corresponded to the blue booklet, but under the drive of resignation, he took the lead in flipping through the red booklet—but it turned out to be lonely. It was red inside, and nothing could be seen except the messy bloodstains.

Seeing her turning the pages of the book, the sports committee came over curiously, and seeing the blood inside, couldn't help but let out a "hey". The school committee looked over reproachfully, and he immediately pointed at Xu Tuoran, "She did it first."

Xu Turan: ...

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." She rationalized her attempted death attempt, closed the booklet, and walked to the other side.

"What's written on the blue leather?"

"Just say you have found the right exit and you can leave! 'The blue stars will guide the right path'!" The squad leader replied while reading the blue booklet quickly, "the time limit is forty minutes."

Xiaomi frowned, and looked at the closed door of the hotel: "Exit? Isn't the exit always there?"

Gu Xiaoya was also surprised: "Are you sure you're not looking for a key?"

"No. Just find the exit." The squad leader spread the notebook on the table for them to read, "Specially emphasized 'correct'. So I was wondering, could the door be an interference item?"

They are all peak brains who have just passed the college entrance examination. Among other things, they are still very professional in picking questions.

Xu Turan thought about it and found that it really made sense. I flipped through the blue booklet and found that there was still content on the back page: "What is it written in?"

"Additional rules. To put it simply, when looking for the exit, you must also pay attention to avoiding the pursuit of the redskins...that is, people who act according to the red booklet." The squad leader explained, "But there are no redskins among us. So I don’t think there is any need to say anything.”

As soon as these words came out, the content in the red guide was self-evident—just like what Xu Tuoran said, the planner behind this board game really wanted them to kill each other.

"Fortunately, we have avoided the pitfalls before." Gu Xiaoya patted her chest with a look of rejoicing, "Fortunately, Xu Turan is here..."

None of them were eliminated, and none died, meaning no one needs to execute that dreaded Redskins cover right now. As long as everyone is united and working hard to find an exit, it will be fine.

This realization made Gu Xiaoya more courageous, but Gu Chenfeng who was at the side seemed to remember something, and his face changed slightly.

On the other side, Xu Tuoran also showed a thoughtful face, and his eyes fell on the discard pile.

There is a **** there. A broken chess piece that appeared out of thin air after the incident of the girl in the closet.

According to the rules of the board game, there is only one kind of chess piece that will be placed on the discard pile, which is the eliminated player chess piece.

As if echoing her thoughts, Gu Chenfeng's lips moved, and he spoke uncertainly:

"I... remembered something." In order to save time, he spoke as fast as possible, "Zhong Sijia once said that he 'played' this game. There is another chess piece on our side. Is it possible , maybe... that is his chess game?"

"What do you mean?" The sports committee didn't understand, "Zhong Sijia didn't participate in the game at all?"

"Did we not participate, or did we participate, but we don't know?" Xu Tuoran said indifferently, putting the broken piece together, revealing the complete serial number.

I saw "0" written on it.

Gu Chenfeng's face turned even paler. He opened the box of the board game back then, and he remembers it clearly, the chess pieces in the box are only 1 to 9...

Just at this moment, the door suddenly opened.

The door of the hotel, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened.

It was pushed from the outside. Behind the door is a deep black, I don't know if it's the night, or the same black wall as outside the window.

Someone came in through the door. No one saw his figure, and the only thing that could prove his existence was a row of footprints—deep, black shoe prints, extending towards the table step by step, and finally stopped at the table.

After that, the red booklet was opened again. The thin paper was flipped out of thin air, as if someone was actually reading it.

Xiaomi took a few steps back in fear, and bumped into Gu Xiaoya by accident. Just as he turned his head to speak, his eyes fell on the elevator door behind him, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"That, that..." She waved her hands inarticulately, pushing Gu Xiaoya to look back.

Gu Xiaoya followed her direction and looked over, her whole body froze, and a layer of coldness climbed up her back in an instant.

I saw a strange figure reflected on the metal elevator door.

A figure of a man standing in front of the table, quietly flipping through the red guide.

In the hall, the hair-raising silence spread again.

On the desktop, the red booklet was still flipping page by page, at a very slow speed. If you didn't look at the reflection on the elevator door, someone might think it was a sloth sitting at the table.

The scene was actually a bit hilarious, but no one could laugh. Their eyes cycled back and forth between the booklet and the reflection on the elevator door, and they all moved their feet unconsciously to distance themselves from the table.

Xu Tuoran was also looking in the direction of the table. She can see more things than other people, and can vaguely see a very faint figure. However, it is only able to "see", and there are very few things that can be perceived.

After watching for a while, she realized that other people had quietly approached her without knowing when.

Xu Tuoran: ...?

Xu Turan felt that this was not good. The dependence of others will slow down her pace of jumping into the fire pit. But now, it's hard to push people away, so I had to force the topic: "Can you recognize who it is? Is it Zhong Sijia?"

The sports committee looked at her in shock, apparently feeling that the question was too superficial—the reflection on the elevator door was a blur, and the facial features could not be seen clearly, so how could they recognize people.

Gu Chenfeng whispered, "That's right, it's him."

He pointed slightly to the black footprints on the ground: "There is a brand logo on the shoe print. He is wearing this brand of shoes today."

…

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt even more strange. The squad leader turned his head, looked in the direction of the stairs, and swallowed hard.

"Wait until I say run, all go upstairs." He whispered, "Don't disperse."

Gu Chenfeng's movie-watching experience of "one must die" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The squad leader was afraid that someone would be arrested if he was alone, so he specially emphasized that although he didn't know what the situation was, it was always right to run first.

And if you want to run, there are only two ways to choose: the corridor and the stairs. The corridors on both sides are dead ends. Once blocked, there is no way to escape. Instead, on the third floor, there is a very narrow escape ladder that only connects to the second floor. After they go up, there is still room for tossing, and they can buy time to find the so-called "correct" exit...

The squad leader quickly calculated several times in his heart, confirmed that it was correct, finally took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "It's now—run!"

After the voice fell, several figures rushed towards the stairs together!

They have all gone through running training and disaster prevention drills, even if they are escaping for their lives, there is a natural tacit understanding and order. And it is this neatness that makes two exceptions stand out among the crowd.

One of them was the school committee member, for some reason, she didn't follow the stairs, but ran out of the hall, and the figure turned into the corridor in the blink of an eye; the other was Xu Tuoran—

She simply didn't escape.

Instead, he rushed to the bottom of the stairs, picked up the toilet shovel that was thrown there before, turned around, and slammed it at the position in front of the red book—

Duang's sound was astonishing.

The scene is very strange. The air is quiet. It was so quiet that everyone heard a muffled sound followed by the "Duang", followed by a click.

The squad leader was already running in the middle of the stairs, he couldn't help but stop when he heard the sound, he was dumbfounded.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head to confirm with the sports committee: "I just said 'run', right?"

Sports Commission:...

Don't ask me, I don't understand either.

The two of them didn't understand, but Gu Chenfeng, who also hid on the stairs, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and felt that he understood—

As a high school student with a rich spiritual life who has read all kinds of supernatural works, he finally realized it.

Xu Tueran's script may be different from theirs.

Think about it too. Xu Tuoran is a person with clear thinking, ruthless (?), abnormal brain circuits and golden fingers with natural yin and yang eyes. If this configuration is placed in a low-level magic and spirit novel, even if it is not the protagonist, it must be quite important. supporting role.

Violent clearance, hand tearing ghosts and so on are all standard configurations, maybe it can trigger some plot of the boss frying fish...

The more Gu Chenfeng thought about it, the more he felt that he made sense. It has to be said that from a certain point of view, he and Gu Xiaoya are indeed brothers and sisters.

In the next second, Xu Tuoran threw the toilet in his hand, turned around and ran towards the stairs.

Gu Chenfeng, who was still imagining Xu Tuoran tearing Li Gui with his hands, was shocked: "Did you beat him?"

"What kind of fight?" Xu Tuoran walked quickly, with a steady tone, "I can't tell his level, just touch it with his hands."

Gu Chenfeng:?

What about the result?

"His head fell off, and my arm was broken." Xu Tuoran supported his dislocated wrist, as if the person who failed to tear it up just now was not her, "What are you still doing? I walked away. Hey, where is the school committee?"

Gu Chenfeng: ...? ? ?

No, what about fried fish? !

The author has something to say:

Xu Tuoran: I made a mistake, I shouldn't have picked the boss by leapfrogging.

Xu Tuoran: Dare to do it next time.

Fried fish: a game term. It probably means that the masters ran to the low-end rounds to kill indiscriminately for fun (probably

Xu Tuoran is now in Xinshou Village. Fighting women in the closet is like frying fish and hanging them. Fighting evil spirits needs to be strengthened. It's a bit difficult to single out Zhong Sijia, facing the shadow of the stairs will probably be killed in seconds 2333
