There are 7 people left, but the number of branches is 8.

There is an extra one.

"How could this be?" You Qi was crying and stretched out his hand, as if hoping that someone could claim this extra branch, he shivered and asked: "This extra branch... is. who?"

Of course no one would claim it, everyone was staring at him with pity.

Chen Qiang glanced at the painting subconsciously. This action seemed to have triggered a chain reaction, and the remaining few people also looked at the painting.

If there is a "person" in this room, it should be the woman in the painting.

This branch...will it be hers.

Seeing this scene, You Qi's face turned pale, as if he had been drained of blood.

Although he was very scared, he didn't dare to throw away the branches given by the NPC, and he didn't know which of the two to throw away, his entire face was twisted together.

Just as everyone thought, there is still a show to be performed tonight.

"Have you noticed." An Xuan said, "The master asked her to inform."

Before that, all she mentioned were the young masters.

Nodded, Xia Meng squinted and said, "It seems that they already know that we have guessed the true identity of Young Master Huang, so we won't hide it anymore."

......

It was getting dark quickly, and after dinner, everyone gathered in the wing of Jiangcheng, waiting for the mission to begin.

An Xuan once again led everyone to review some of the details of the mission and the areas that need attention. "According to the rules this time, the ghost is likely to pretend to be one of us in the process, and then lure others to talk."

He looked at everyone one by one. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he found that the other person was also staring at him. An Xuan naturally looked away, "So I suggest that no matter what you see or hear, don't speak."

"There is still this branch." He opened his hand, and a branch was lying quietly in his palm. "After holding it in your mouth, don't take it out until the mission is over."

Speaking of the branches, everyone glanced at You Qi who was shrinking in the corner, his face seemed to be worse.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The drums are very dull.

Everyone's pupils shrank, and the task... finally came.

When I rushed to the shore, there was still fog on the lake. What's more weird was that this time the fog was thicker than before, floating on the lake, everything in front of me was white and the visibility was poor.

A small boat broke through the dense fog and docked on the shore.

Regarding this, everyone is not surprised, the rule is that everyone needs to be dispersed by boat.

But to everyone's surprise, the ship was not as empty as before. Instead, there was a paper head and a...bright red costume.

The costume was propped up on a wooden shelf and stood on the bow of the boat. The head of the paper man was so buckled on the costume. At first glance, it looks like a person standing on the boat with arms outstretched, matching the current environment. It is very strange.

According to the rule, you are not allowed to speak until you reach the designated place and put the branch in the entrance. So at this moment, You Qi couldn't help it, and asked: "This is... is this for us to wear? Rules? There is nothing in it..."

Halfway through, Yuki was like a duck stepped on his neck. He couldn't say a word, because he saw many more boats sailing out of the fog.

Silently, a bright red costume stood on each boat. The sleeves and hem of the costume waved with the night wind, like a person dancing.

Xia Meng counted, there were 7 ships in total.

An Xuan took a deep breath and was the first to jump on the boat. Now the situation is obvious. They need to change into scarlet costumes and then put on paper heads.

But everyone kept their eyes on them, and instead of taking off their original costumes, they put the red costumes on the outside, which looked bloated.

At the moment when the costume was changed and the paper head was put on, the seven boats started at the same time, sailing in different directions, and soon disappeared into the fog.

His throat rolled, and the fat man looked left and right. The surroundings were foggy, and there was no other ship in sight. The sound of the water coming from under the ship was also very strange. The fat man tried to look out several times, but he was stifled by reason. Up.

He was worried about seeing something that he shouldn't bear, such as a soaked dead face, or... a corpse with pale arms waving.

His brain replenishment ability has always been very strong. In just a few seconds, he has already replenished dozens of possible ways of killing ghosts. The final result is that he squatted in the middle of the boat, his huge body shrunk into a small ball. , The neck rotates 360 degrees without dead angle, like a stocky humanoid radar.

This situation continued until he went ashore.

According to the rules of the game, he only needs to wait here, and then someone will come to him, hand over the bride to him, and then he takes the bride to find the next person.

The process is not complicated, in the words of the doctor, it is a slap-shake game in disguise.

The shoulder-slap game means that four people are needed. In the middle of the night, in a rectangular empty room, all lights are turned off, and then one person is arranged in each of the four corners of the room.

Face the corner of the wall and cannot look back.

At the beginning of the game, the person in one corner walks to the person in the next corner and gently pats the shoulder of the person in front of him. Then, the person who is photographed repeats the above steps in the same way.

The premise is that everyone is walking in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

When someone walks to a corner where there is no one, he has to cough first, and then go over the corner of the person and continue walking forward until he sees the next person.

After a while, you will find that there will be no one coughing, which means that there are people in every corner, but according to the rules, one person will always leave.

The extra person... is a new entrant to the game.

But the difference in this scene is that the venue is bigger~lightnovelpub.net~ They surround this ghostly lake.

The 7 people were spread far apart, so the coughing was not audible at all, and the rules of the game did not allow them to do so.

Putting on uniform paper heads and scarlet costumes also made them unable to recognize each other.

This is too deliberate, and I almost wrote the words that ghosts want to mix in them to kill people in the rules.

After landing, the fat man immediately saw a paper man.

The paper man stood under a tree 7 or 8 meters away from the shore, with extremely exaggerated and weird makeup on his face, wearing a green melon hat, and a big braid hanging around him.

Under the bleak moonlight, the paper man assumed a strange posture, slightly arched his waist, one arm stretched out and pointed to the dark left side.

Breathing uncontrollably accelerated, the fat man gradually turned around, facing the left side according to the paperman's instructions, waiting quietly, without saying a word.

It is also unclear how long this torment lasted. A rustling sound rang behind him, and it sounded like someone had their feet on the ground, dragging their legs on the ground, rubbing forward little by little.
