Chapter 159: The People and the Thieves
Believing it, they returned to their rooms and saw a talisman on the bed.
There is a pattern totem on the front of the talisman to represent identity, and on the back is some explanation of the rules.
"Go back in time and reenact a scene that once happened in the inn. Among them were two night thieves and two hunters who pursued the night thieves, and the rest were all people. β
"There are three basic rules. β
"First, the people belong to the same camp, and the second is fast, and the seven people are fast. The Night Thieves are on the other side, with two in total. A person has a chance to find the murderer once a day, and a person has the right to check the identity of the body once a day. Night thieves can choose whether to kill or not each night, and one person dies each night. β
"Second, the next day, everyone will look for the night thief together, and you can choose to execute one person. In the end, if the two night thieves are killed, the 10,000 taels of silver hidden in the inn will be divided equally among everyone. If the number of Night Thieves equals or exceeds that of the other faction, the Night Bandit faction wins. In addition, after the two trappers were killed, they also won for the Night Bandits. β
"Third, the venue is an inn, and it is not allowed to leave the inn, and it is not allowed to violate the above two basic principles, and extraordinary power is not allowed to be used, and violators are obliterated. In addition, there are no rules to be applied. β
After reading the rules with a heavy heart, everyone saw the last words: "Your identity ......"
Everyone sees their identity badges, and the front is dominated by three distinct totems that symbolize the common people, the catcher, and the night thief.
Looking at his totem pattern, as he finished reading, the talisman spontaneously combusted out of thin air, and only a streamer covered the palm of his hand.
Liu Zhenying took a breath and came out of the room, and it happened that Xun Yi next door also came out.
The two went downstairs side by side, and Xun Yi asked, "What is your identity?" My totem is white. β
Liu Zhenying's expression moved: "I am also white." Looking at Xun Yi, Xun Yi nodded: "Those are ordinary people, it depends on whether the two catchers can catch them at once." Xun Yi complained a little: "It would be great if I was allowed to catch fast! β
Oh, yes. If he does it quickly, I'm afraid it only takes two times to catch all the night thieves.
When the two came to the lobby, they saw that Shopkeeper Duan and Feng Xiaogui had already set up the chairs, and eleven chairs were in a circle.
After everyone arrived, Shopkeeper Duan said, "Now we might as well ventilate and talk about our identity first." I'm an ordinary person. β
"Me too. β
"Me too. β
Ibid. β
......
Eleven people said so. Of course, they understood that the highest priority of the night thieves was to catch them quickly, and besides, the people were the safest.
The eleven people looked at each other, and everyone knew that there were people who lied, not only the night thieves, but also two of their own.
Boss Julai suggested, "So, let's draw our own totems?"
"This won't work. After the drawing, the two catchers will be exposed immediately, and I'm afraid that the night thieves only need to pick and kill quickly. Shopkeeper Duan immediately retorted: "Moreover, do you know the totemic colors of the fast catcher and the night thief?"
The atmosphere was dull. Look at each other. yes, if you really spread it out, it only takes two rounds to get the catchers out.
"So, why don't you talk about the color of the totem?" Xu Liang suggested.
Liu Zhenying's eyes flashed and swept around the crowd.
Feng Xiaogui took a pen and paper from the counter, two sheets per person: "Each writes his own color behind the back of others." β
At the end of the round, everyone spread out their papers, and everyone wrote white.
Boss Tao touched his head: "Could it be that the totems of night thieves and fast catchers are similar to us?"
"Forget it. We don't know exactly what their totem looks like. If you want to rely on this method......" Liu Yu shook his head: "The game shouldn't be so simple. β
Everyone muttered, Xun Yi looked at the sky: "Night thief." As the name suggests, killing people at night, and now it's just dusk, why don't we take a look first?"
After all, it's not clear whether this game is real or fake.
Gollum β
A stomach scream sounded, everyone was a little embarrassed, Liu Yu laughed: "I'll go to the stove to fry a few dishes, you can taste my craftsmanship." β
Fortunately, Master Ding is here. The crowd's expressions softened. But just in case, Feng Xiaogui and Boss Tao also went to the kitchen to help.
Xun Yi and Liu Zhenying looked at each other, and the others began to search around the inn, and the two also came to the front yard to explore.
"Zhenying, how did you get in?"
"I was sent in by a sedan chair. Liu Zhenying looked at this inn cautiously. There is a strange power in this inn, and his mana is completely imprisoned in this inn.
"What about you?"
"I went to bed as usual, and when I dreamed, I dreamed of a man dressed in black. The man asked me to get into the sedan chair, and when I got out of the sedan chair, I saw you. Xun Yi thinks that what he is currently appearing here is not the body, but the soul.
"Only the soul can bring me here. Sun Jian and Qinglong did not follow. "If the flesh comes, the two will surely follow.
In this way, all the people present are souls, and being suppressed by the evil power of the inn here is like a kind of realm.
"Xun Yi, do you think we really went back to that time period in late autumn last year?"
"If you can really go back to the past, why did you look for us?" Xun Yi said with a smile: "Could it be that the reason why you are looking for us is because of the relationship between time." We were killed during this time, and then we left a diary, and then we were found to spread the story. And finally, in a year's time, let us hear it in the future?"
Liu Zhenying thought for a while: "It is precisely because we died in the inn last year that there will be a legend of night robbers and murders a year later, so in the end, we shuttled over in order to create this cause?"
"That's right, if it's really time travel, then this is the only one possible. Xun Yi picked up a dead leaf: "But again, I don't think time can be turned back." If time is reversed, then it means that fate cannot be changed, otherwise there will be a time paradox. And the fate that can be changed should be called a parallel world. β
"You've got a lot of research into time travel. Liu Zhenyu looked at the young man: "Why didn't you think you knew so much about this before?"
"There's so much you don't know. Our family has been inherited for a hundred years, how much knowledge is there?" Xun Yi snorted: "It can't be time back. Time goes back and fate can't be changed, we don't have to play at all, just wait for death. The only possibility is the change of space. We should be entering a special space field. β
Liu Zhenying organized the language: "I have heard people say, 'If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not.'" If rumors from the outside world continue to spread and are believed by most people, a corresponding ghost will be born from the rumors. β
"Gods come from faith and transcend faith, and this kind of ghost born from rumors is already a kind of basic ghost god. Xun Yi sighed faintly: "With a complete spiritual personality, absorb the mental power from the strange stories of mortals to shape this inn, let us reenact the scene at that time." β
"Let's play this game, what do we get for it?" Liu Zhenying wondered, if it was really a spirit bred from strange talks, then should its power be a double heaven?
Xun Yi was a little distracted, and only said after half a sound: "The ritual of sacrifice?"
"Huh?"
"Blood sacrifices were revered in the age of barbarism, and some blood sacrifices were known for their cruelty and inhumanity. Instead of killing the slave of the blood sacrifice immediately, he chose to imprison him on the altar and slowly cut his flesh and bleed, so that the sacrifice showed its most painful face to please the evil god. β
"Different gods require different sacrifices. This game we play is a sacrificial ritual in itself. β
The two couldn't discuss why, and then Liu Yu asked them to go to dinner.
"You're hungry too, aren't you?" the fat guy laughed and brought out two plates.
Two plates of vegetarian fried assorted mixed with rice, the aroma was fragrant, Xun Yi's stomach growled, and he reached out to take the plate.
"Wait-" Liu Zhenying grabbed Xun Yi's wrist and looked at the two plates of dishes solemnly. picked up a plate and took a bite with chopsticks before handing the plate in his hand to Xun Yi: "It's better to be careful." β
"What, do you think I'm going to hurt people?" Liu Fatzi was quite disliked, as a chef, he has his own bottom line, and he will never poison the dish. Because he believes that food is used to bring happiness to people.
"It's not that I doubt you, it's that I doubt the food here. Xun Yi hurriedly explained, and took the initiative to clip a chopstick: "Well, yes, Master Zhang's skills are getting higher and higher." β
By Xun Yi's words, Zhang Fatzi calmed down his anger, glanced at Liu Zhenying, and picked up other plates to give to a few other companions.
Only Liu Zhenying and Xun Yi were left, and Xun Yi complained: "You are too careful." If you do this in front of him, everyone will not look good at that time. β
"But it's better than being cheated. Liu Zhenying took another plate and took a bite. "You're just too easy to trust people. There's a night thief in it, who has believed it?"
"At least I believe you're not a night thief. Xun Yi smiled slightly, humming a ballad and picking up the kettle in the kitchen to make tea.
"What do you drink?"
"Whatever. "Liu Zhenying is not as naΓ―ve as Xun Yi, thinking hard about the situation of the night thief. Of the eleven of them, who is the most suspicious except for the two of them?
Is it the shopkeeper Duan, who has been leading, or Qin Yue, who has barely spoken from beginning to end, or the couple?
Then I went through Zhu Lai, Liu Xu, Tao Boss and others, and I can't see who is the most suspicious.
"Do you really want to wait for the night thief to kill one person first?" Liu Zhenying's face was worried, who knows who the night thief will pick to kill? In case he encounters the two of them...... (To be continued.) )
