Chapter 1234: Exquisite
Hu Li died, and she should have died long ago.
As a human, she had been verbally difficult many times since the eve of participating in the commission task, and she was indignant in her heart.
As a "ghost", she concealed the fact that she had made a deal with the ghost and survived until now.
As for accusing Ji Li of digging his own grave, how much of it was from his own intention and how much of it might be influenced by the ghost, it is unknown.
On the surface, Hu Li seemed to deserve it, to seek death, and to be destined to die.
But the root cause is still the collapse caused by the extreme oppression and coercion of an ordinary person by the reality.
She is not the first story of this kind, nor will she be the last.
Ji Li personally ended the life of one of his own employees with the black wooden crutches given to him by Xiao Qianduye, in such a contemptuous way.
At the same time, this also sounded the signal for the third round.
When Hu Li just died, Shao Yongan took out a short knife from his back and walked towards Wu Hao at a not-so-fast speed.
The theme of this third round was to gather together for discussion, but since when, Ji and Shao had already changed the theme to killing.
The reason for doing so was that they realized the truth of the game at the same time when Shen Qingqing died.
The next thing to do was very simple. As long as they killed everyone except Ji Li and Shao Yongan, they had the confidence to end this game full of lies.
Wu Hao looked at Shao Yongan, who was heavy-footed but aggressive, and was also confused in his heart. He didn't know why Ji Li killed Hu Li, and he didn't know why Shao Yongan was running towards him again.
Compared with Hu Li, his injury was slightly better, but the pain of the broken tongue had already tortured him to exhaustion, and now he could only step back.
He hurriedly took out the mobile phone in his hand and typed desperately on the keyboard.
Since Shao Yongan walked very slowly, he had enough time to express himself. In less than half a minute, he showed his mobile phone and faced Shao Yongan and Ji Li.
"I am Wu Hao from the ninth branch. I have four mission experiences and am not a newcomer.
I lied because I am not afraid of ghosts but I am afraid of people.
Ji Li has such a reputation. My store manager died in his hands. I can only show weakness to protect myself."
So far, Wu Hao still believes that the actions of Ji and Shao are due to suspicion from within the game, and he is still making excuses.
Little did he know that no matter what he did at this moment, he could not change his own ending.
Seeing that the first typing was ineffective, Wu Hao also leaned against the edge of the wall, staring at Shao Yongan's face with his head down and silent, and hurriedly edited again.
"I have an idea too. Let's release the ghost on the platform.
I will release it, and you can just watch.
It will definitely help us find the evil ghost!"
It's useless to say anything, not to mention that this idea itself is wrong.
Shao Yongan had already stood in front of him with a knife in hand. Their eyes met briefly. The fear and pleading in Wu Hao's pupils made his hands a little weak.
"Plop!"
Wu Hao knelt at his feet, clasped his hands together and kowtowed continuously. His forehead was covered with sand and blood, and the sound of thumping was endless.
The seriously injured Wu Hao could not win against Shao Yongan at his peak by force, especially with Ji Li.
He could not think of any other way except to give up his dignity and kowtow and beg.
But everything was in vain, because this mission was destined to have too many deaths. Luo Tian was the first, but he, Wu Hao, would not be the last.
Shao Yongan's face was full of guilt. He had always been a good man and asked himself if he had done anything wrong in his life.
But he knew it too well.
He was able to survive in the sixth branch for so long without dying, and his hands were already stained with the blood of innocent people.
How many times have you escaped death by stepping on the corpses of others, and how many times have you pulled others into the abyss to pass the level? If someone lives, someone must die.
This is the basic survival in Tianhai Hotel.
Wu Hao can't escape, and Shao Yongan can't escape either.
The short knife neatly circled around the neck, the movement was light and skillful, and the blood splashed and dyed Shao Yongan's hands and half of his face red.
The reflective blade reflected his scarlet eyes, which were filled with the colors of death and sin, outlining a Shao Yongan who was forced to become neither a human nor a ghost.
Even though there were many injustices, reluctances and unwillingness in his heart, the fact was that he knew early on where to cut the fastest to kill, where was the precise point of the artery, and where to execute the most efficiently.
It has even become an instinct.
Tianhai changed Hu Li and Shao Yongan.
This time when he turned his head, there was no longer any concern in his eyes. Compared with killing innocent people with his own hands, he dared not have similar thoughts about Ji Li.
After participating in and seeing four special projects, Shao Yongan was always locked in by "that unspoken rule" in this mission, forcing him to not dare to breathe.
In this game, the first round is called lying, the second round is called tearing, and the third round is called killing.
At this moment, it is time for everything to end.
Perhaps because he was worried that Ji Li would use a gun next, or perhaps because he was afraid of delaying changes, Shao Yongan was afraid of falling behind, and shouted to the shriveled ghost anxiously:
"I want to announce the identity of the evil ghost!"
In an instant, the cell space fell into stillness.
No one has the power to act privately anymore. When announcing the identity, the shriveled ghost locked time and space, creating a "pure land" and waiting for the result.
Of course, from the time of Wu Hao's death to before Shao Yongan began to announce it, Ji Li stood motionless in front of Cell No. 4.
Shao Yongan's worries were unnecessary. Ji Li did not draw a gun and did nothing. His only action was to light up a new cigarette after killing Hu Li.
He was like a bystander who stayed away from the incident, watching all this with a more rational and relaxed attitude.
The shriveled ghost also stood up from the cage, its eyes shining with will-o'-the-wisps under the two long pieces of long hair burst out with a soul-catching aura, and its blood-dried face became particularly serious.
One ghost, two living people, and five corpses are all waiting for the final result.
Shao Yongan was holding a short knife with a pool of blood under his body, and with a solemn and determined expression, he forcefully revealed the identity of the evil ghost:
"The evil ghost is me, Wu Hao, Ge Xing, Hu Li, Ji Li, and Luo Tian, the integration of these six people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the shriveled ghost suddenly grasped the steel bars of the cage with both hands, and the sound of shaking gold and stone slowly returned. It looked very excited, and even asked again:
"Are you sure?"
Shao Yongan was determined by its reaction. He knew that his path to survival was the right one, and he immediately said:
"What the clown doll's target says - 'There is an evil spirit hidden among you.'
This you, of course, are us in the cell space, but it does not say, "One of you is an evil ghost."
This gave me a guess, is it possible that there is only one evil ghost, but it is not hidden in a single person.
Immediately afterwards, all of us here were lying, including myself.
But in the second round, you skipped Ji Li and me, and only exposed the others. Why?
That's because Ji Li and I are the only two people who have carried out special projects. The lies we told and the memories we concealed contained secrets that far exceeded those of other store employees. "
Seeing that there was no resistance from the shriveled ghost, Shao Yongan decided to tell all his thoughts, no longer caring about time, and continued to explain:
"This game is like a building made of lies.
The lies of seven people made up this building, but each person's weight and role are different, depending on the weight of the lie.
The lies between Ji Li and me were probably the main part of the real estate, and the lies from the remaining clerks were just scraps.
So if you dismantle other people's lies, it will not affect the existence of the building, but if you attack us, it will cause the building to collapse.
This is why you skipped me and Ji Li.
As for why this building is built of lies, it’s because you inadvertently gave a hint——
Those who have ghosts in their hearts are evil ghosts. "
Shao Yong'an's truth is exquisite and well-founded, making people feel full and hearty when listening to it.
He connected the clown doll's goals, prompts, shriveled ghosts, numerous store clerks, and other clues together to form a perfect logical chain.
This is what the game is all about.
"Those who have ghosts in their hearts are the evil ghosts." This sentence points out the core of the game.
Everyone who lies is an evil spirit. It is these lies, concealment and hiding that create this deadly building.
After saying so much in one breath, Shao Yongan took a deep breath, let go of all the fatigue in his body, and finally added:
"As for why Shen Qingqing is not considered a devil, it's because she never lied from beginning to end.
In this building of lies, if an honest person is alive, it is considered a violation. This is the reason for you to kill her. "
Wonderful.
With hearty analysis and unparalleled logic, Shao Yongan is a far underestimated clerk. With his brainpower, he can be the head of a store.
Even the shriveled ghost couldn't help but slap him in the face, and let out a "gurgling" laugh from his blood-stained mouth. The laughter became louder and heavier.
Ji Li watched and listened silently from the side, and finally spoke the first sentence.
It was this sentence that explained why he allowed Shao Yongan to take the lead but was not in a hurry to answer.
"You are very smart, but unfortunately, you are still just a little bit behind. Just a little bit."
The sudden comment made Shao Yongan's head thump. He immediately frowned, his brain spinning rapidly, as if he was looking for why Ji Li spoke like this.
But there was no time to think about it anymore, because what followed was the extremely cold verdict of the shriveled ghost.
"No. 6, your answer is wrong. The identity of the evil ghost is not the six people you mentioned.
The penalty for failure in the third round is death! "
