There was no other place they could hide.

Even if they knew "Qiaoqiao Guan" was in Castle, they had to go back.

Before leaving, Xiaochi Chi looked back at the body of the dreadlocked man being picked up by the staff.

He was carried like a hole in a sack, on the shoulders, with the props to the side hut.

The dreadlocked man's hair was draped in fishy blood and cold rain gathered into a handful, dripping down with blood.

Xiaochi Chi turned his face away, no longer looking closely.

The Castle living room was dead silent, all gathered together except for " Qiaoqiao Guan" who had left the play to concentrate on her beauty sleep.

The picture returned to its original position, the young girl's lips were slightly open, and her eyes were blank and sad.

Only no one dared to look directly at the photo again.

The tall, strong woman curled up in the sofa, under the eyes extremely cold, teeth gnawed sour also unaware.

When she heard the freckled man say that the pigtailed man ran into the rain, she knew he wouldn't come back, but she held on to a faint hope, so she dared to stay in Castle and wait.

...... waiting, is much better than witnessing it.

Yet hearing the news that he had died with her own ears, she still couldn't restrain herself from breaking down.

The four of them met online, aligned from their fourth mission, and have come all the way here.

Their alliance sounds both childish and insecure, they are not smart people, but luck is not bad, and enough unity, but also stumbled to today.

The four have pulled each other's legs, but also saved the legs of the people who pulled them, bickering, bumping into each other, but always the full beard and tail of the four.

The dreadlocked man also had joked that it would be unlucky to see which of the unlucky people who do not plug their eyes first hang, so that we can not even get a table of mahjong together, when we do not rush to cry, first spit on him together and then.

But now no one has the strength to spit on him, not even to cry.

The tall, strong woman and the freckled man were uniformly numb-faced, and the freckled man let the unconscious ponytailed woman sleep on his lap, gently wiping her scraped face with a towel.

In the silence, Lou Xi couldn't help but say, "When you say 'malice', what exactly do you mean?"

Xiaochi Chi put on the bath towel handed by Benshan Yuan and let him stay by her side, falling back on the sofa, her eyelashes slightly wet, her eyes cold.

He said, "From the beginning I wondered what the pattern of this female ghost killing was."

Since there is only one ghost in the villa, there should also be only one criterion for her to choose the target of killing.

The first unlucky one was Qiaoqiao Guan, who died of a three-day-long psychotic dip.

Xiaochi Chi combined with the requirements of the mission, deducing that she was pure bad luck to be seen by the female ghosts who came out on parade to pick a role.

However the death of the dreadlocked man overturned his thoughts.

Lou Xi thought of the pigtailed man who had fallen into a rotten watermelon sauce and had palpitations: "Is it because Qiaoqiao Guan and he both wanted to kill the female ghost?"

Qiaoqiao Guan smashed the portrait, and the dreadlocked man suspected that according to the script, the next to be killed will be their own, and hold a certain can restrain the evil props, so the heart of killing each other.

Xiaochi Chi shook his head, "Don't you forget that Qiaoqiao Guan didn't even know there was a ghost in the photo."

Lou Xi thought about it and thought it was right.

So what are the similarities between her and the dreadlocked man?

What did she do?

Combining the keyword "malice", Lou Xi realized it after only a moment of thought, and said in unison with Xiaochi Chi: "...... Pure Yang's eyes."

At that time, she was bent on taking Chunyang Song's eyes.

But Lou Xi immediately noticed the anomaly: "No, at that time Benshan Yuan was not also-"

Xiaochi Chi added, "It's not just him, it's me. I'm also counting on Qiaoqiao Guan's life."

Xiaochi Chi tapped the Solar Plexus: "Memory time."

Lou Xi : "What time?"

" Qiaoqiao Guan seized the time." Xiaochi Chi said, "She went back to her room and it took about an hour or two before she got the feeling of being spied on."

At that time, the ghost may have hesitated between Benshan Yuan and Qiaoqiao Guan, and even Xiaochi Chi may have been on her watch list.

But after Benshan Yuan gave up his plan to plunder the eyes, the malice in Qiaoqiao Guan's heart completely overshadowed them.

If they are considered to have seen death, then Qiaoqiao Guan's actions of betraying his friends and gouging out his eyes for his life are ten times worse than theirs.

The smell of sludge pulls the female ghost and leads her to Qiaoqiao Guan and the dreadlocked man who wants to kill her.

She didn't just hate the act of "killing ghosts".

What she really dislikes is "malice" itself.

When Chunyang Song's eyes were taken away, the female ghost was probably attracted by his intense hatred for Qiaoqiao Guan and Benshan Yuan.

Lou Xi drifted off: "Then wouldn't it be easy to pass. Just follow the requirements, no drama, don't think about anything else, and control yourself not to generate malice ......"

Xiaochi Chi asked rhetorically, "Simple?"

There is no single thing in the world that is more complex than the structure of the human heart.

At that very moment, the ponytailed woman exhaled a long breath and woke up.

Tang Gan moved his lips and asked Xiaochi Chi's opinion: knocked out again?

Xiaochi Chi sighed slightly.

...... There are still ten days left, what's the use of always knocking out.

Besides, they have a play to perform.

The ponytailed woman covered her head and wobbled up, gradually remembering what happened before she fainted, but not immediately hysterical, but curled herself into a ball, her shoulders shaking, each time trembling with grief and pain.

The freckled man, who has always had a bad mouth, embraced her shoulders and reassured her one by one.

The pain eased over, and what followed was a mountain of hatred.

She jerked off the couch and glared at the freckled man, "Where's the dagger."

When the hatred is so strong, she no longer cares what secrecy or secrecy.

The tall, strong woman blushed: "Not Liao took it?"

Liao is a dreadlocked man, real name Wu Liao.

The ponytailed woman tucked her soaked hair behind her head: "No, he didn't have a dagger in his hand when he ran out-"

Her words reminded herself, pulling out her feet and running wildly, not caring if there was something hidden in that darkness.

When a person is in a violent mood swing, adrenaline is secreted rapidly, forgetting fear and also losing their sanity.

A few minutes later, the ponytailed woman came back soaking wet, followed by the tall, strong woman and the freckled man, who had also turned into a drenched chicken.

She came straight for Xiaochi Chi and raised her hand in a slap starting position.

Tang Gan step in front of Xiaochi Chi, grabbed her rounded right hand, finger force, immediately squeezed the ponytailed woman's wrist out of the creaking bone sound.

Tang Gan's voice is still intoxicating: "Don't fight, let's talk properly."

...... can be very unconvincing compared to her actions.

The woman hit the woman, the freckled man can not be faulted, lips wriggling for a moment, would have said something to ease the atmosphere, the ponytailed woman screwed her face, eyes canyoned: "Xiulin!"

Xiulin Zhang, the freckled man who was named, was shaken.

That dagger is something they use to save their lives. If it is snatched by the other side, won't it be a dowry for others?

Besides, it's just a body search ......

The freckled man gritted his teeth, said "I'm sorry", gave Tang Gan an arm and reached for Xiaochi Chi, who was sitting between Yu Gan and Benshan Yuan.

However, his hand can reach half, but also hold the other side of the arm Tang Gan fiercely threw the ponytail girl, a leg sweep out, hooked the freckled man's neck, a twist of the slender waist, flying body lend force to sit on the freckled man's shoulders, legs muscle tense, backward deadlocked his throat!

The freckled man was terrified, holding a purple face, and was crushed to fall backwards out of control.

In the moment of landing, Tang Gan waist and abdomen power, from the ground rebound jump, knees against the freckled man's chest ribs, a strand of hair from the side of the cheek down, no breath.

She said in a warm voice, "I'm offended."

Xiaochi Chi and Lou Xi: ...... Oh, wow.

Yu Gan stood up, his tone was the same gentle and firm as his sister's: "Miss Tan, please speak slowly if you have anything to say."

The ponytailed woman, whose real name is Yue Tan, rubbed her wrist, which was pinched to the point of pain, and raised her bloodshot eyes, staring at Xiaochi Chi, unable to chew him up and swallow him: "What did you say? What else is there to say? It was you who stole our dagger during the chaos!"

Xiaochi Chi raised his eyebrows and asked the freckled man Xiulin Zhang : "The dagger, is that the 'secret weapon' you were talking about?"

Xiulin Zhang's face is bitter.

"What are you pretending to be stupid for? From the beginning to the end, you've fooled us all!" Yue Tan said angrily, "Are you blind?! Why are you pretending to be blind?"

Xiaochi Chi sighed softly.

The four-cornered game just now was such a shock to his spirit that he made a mistake.

His instinctive "don't look" to Yue Tan revealed the truth that he was hiding.

Benshan Yuan told him to pretend to be blind, because he wanted to monopolize him in the mission world, after all, no one would want to team up with a blind person, only to respect and stay away, then they can safely share information.

Xiaochi Chi continues to pretend to be blind after taking over this body because the mission world is using Chunyang Song's real name.

Unless all four people in this world except Xiaochi Chi are dead, once they know he has a pair of yin and yang eyes and word gets out, then Chunyang Song will be finished for the rest of his life.

But if you are vague or assertive, things will only go in a worse direction.

Internal fragmentation, increased hostility, a vicious circle, and only more people will die.

Seeing that the tension has been raised, Lou Xi finally figured out what is so difficult about this world.

When they act, even if they repeatedly remind themselves to be faithful to the role, serious acting, but always worry about the role they play if they die, the reality of whether they will also die, think about it, worry is horror, will want to fight on a fight.

Wu Liao, the man with the pigtails, is the best example.

Besides, even if Xiaochi Chi were to tell us the mechanics of the world now, who would believe him?

Who dares to take his own life to test whether the inference is correct?

What if they die in the movie, they really die.

Not to mention that Wu Liao just died in the same way as the hero of that movie, and once the dagger disappeared and his pretence of blindness was exposed, Xiaochi Chi's trust value in front of Yue Tan and the others had hit rock bottom.

A ring of rings, the final sandcastle tumbled, everyone is at risk, the thicker the malice, the faster the death.

The eighth world, the test is the most inscrutable human nature.

Lou Xi thought of Xiaochi Chi's rhetorical question.

...... "Simple?"

It's really not easy at all.

People's trust needs to be built up over years and years and years, but it only takes a few anthills to destroy it.

Lou Xi's throat was throbbing and tightening as he thought frantically about how Xiaochi Chi should respond now.

Xiaochi Chi said quietly, "Lou Lou, is not particularly nervous ah."

Lou Xi is on fire: "You're in the mood for this!"

Xiaochi Chi says, "All I have to do is say two words and do one thing to calm them down. Can you believe it."

Lou Xi : "......" What kind of goddam tone is this.

At the end of the sentence, Xiaochi Chi looked up at Yue Tan , reaching for composure and said, "Because I can see the Qi in people. ...... dead qi."

Xiaochi Chi took off his right pupil to reveal an amber eye.

This heterochromatic pupil is really mysterious and persuasive, and many people have been fooled by Chunyang Song's eyes since he was a child, sincerely believing that he really has great psychic powers.

Yue Tan was dumbfounded and looked at each other with Xiulin Zhang and Qiu Mingming, a tall and strong woman.

Xiaochi Chi pointed to Yue Tan : "For example, you now have a deathly aura that is stronger than anyone else's."

Lou Xi suddenly became clear, and secretly gave a cheer.

Sure enough, the most brilliant lie is always a half-truth.

With two words and one action, Xiaochi Chi has really calmed them down.

Yue Tan was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xiaochi Chi retorted, "I'm afraid I'm not obliged to tell you about this kind of thing at the beginning. Besides, this skill doesn't have any positive effect, it can only be a warning before a tragedy happens."

"Then why don't you go and remind Liao-"

"I approached Mr. Liao this afternoon." Xiaochi Chi interrupted her, "He told me to get lost. ...... Miss Tan, you should have heard that."

In the afternoon, Xiaochi Chi did approach Wu Liao during a break and reminded him not to kill.

But Wu Liao was so agitated that he shouted angrily and told him to go away. Yue Tan, who went to get water, didn't know why, and came over to mediate a few words.

...... By then, Wu Liao's spirit had eroded so deeply that there was no remedy.

Yue Tan's face gradually turned white, covering his face and sitting down, as if someone had taken away his spine.

Xiaochi Chi put his pupils back on and sat back down with his towel on: "If you suspect that we took your secret weapon, you can search your body. I don't even know what your secret weapon is. After Wu Liao ran out, I chased after you, Dr. Gan and Tang Tang together, and went back with them. Old Yuan and your two companions stayed at Castle. We didn't have time to get whatever dagger you had."

Yue Tan was demented for a while before he remembered what Xiaochi Chi had just said, and looked up, his lips vaguely trembling: "You said, I have a death aura on me ......"

Xiaochi Chi sighed.

This sigh gave Yue Tan goose bumps.

Xiaochi Chi didn't take the question, but instead threw out another one: "Wu Liao was planning to take on 'Qiaoqiao Guan' during the shooting. Think about it, who was closest to Wu Liao at that time?"

There was silence in the living room.

Thinking about that possibility, Yue Tan's cadre of people were all shaken and blushing.

Xiaochi Chi added gently, "It's possible that she took something of yours. She knows you guys are going to kill her."

Xiaochi Chi is really good at this kind of operation, and after some coaxing, they all calmed down.

The dead are gone, and the living still need to think of themselves and others.

What to do? They no longer have weapons in their hands, and I'm afraid their purpose is already known to " Qiaoqiao Guan" ......

...... Xiaochi Chi What they want is to be in such a state of six minds now.

Only then will they listen to their words.

Xiaochi Chi went along with the trend and told us his assumptions.

He did not mention Qiaoqiao Guan, only that if there was malice toward the female ghost, it might invite misfortune.

He said, mentioning that this morning he had moved to kill "Qiaoqiao Guan" during the shooting, when "Qiaoqiao Guan's" reaction had made Xiaochi Chi suspicious.

In times of spiritual vulnerability, Xiaochi Chi instills in them enough to convince them.

The three men lost their companions and once again lost the strength of their righteous anger, digesting the information provided by Xiaochi Chi and getting up to rest in their own way.

Xiaochi Chi crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, squinting his eyes like a tired cat.

After confirming that the crowd was empty, he offered his hand to Tang Gan.

Tang Gan nods slightly and steps out of Castle's door, lifting the lid of the unlocked, painted mailbox.

Benshan Yuan's eyes widened as he looked on.

Tang Gan took out the broken dagger with the spell engraved on it from the mailbox.

Even Lou Xi couldn't hide her shock: "When did she-"

Xiaochi Chi said, "I noticed that Wu Liao dropped something in the cluster of earthworms before he ran away."

Tang Gan soft voice: " Xiulin Zhang and Qiu Mingming dare not look at the group of earthworms, from the second floor came to the living room, I ran at the end, turn to the group of earthworms, pick up the things back, hidden in the body, wait until entering Castle before, and temporarily sent here."

When she went there, Yue Tan, a ponytailed woman, focused on her ally Liao and naturally did not pay attention to Tang Gan who had disappeared for a short time.

When the four of them return, Xiulin Zhang and Qiu Mingming, who are waiting in Castle, focus on the news of Liao's death and the fainting Yue Tan, and are unable to notice what Tang Gan has done outside.

...... takes perfect advantage of the time lag and psychological blind spots.

Lou Xi was surprised and asked Xiaochi Chi, "...... When did you discuss this plan with her?"

Xiaochi Chi smiles.

Not a word was discussed much, but just a glance was passed to her on the way down and a gesture was made to pick up something.

This is probably the so-called tacit understanding.

Benshan Yuan didn't expect Xiaochi Chi to have left this trick, and he was all smiles: "Chun Yang, you're great!"

Xiaochi Chi smiled quite effortlessly, "Let's put the dagger in my place first."

Benshan Yuan hesitated slightly, and swept the Gan siblings out of the corner of his eye, apparently not quite at ease: "Or put it here with me?"

Xiaochi Chi was noncommittal: "Old Yuan, we can't keep this thing. This is a life-saving talisman that someone else got, and when we leave this world, I will find a way to return it to them."

Hearing this, Benshan Yuan's face muscles twisted slightly and he couldn't help but say, "Pure Yang, you are also too ...... kind."

What he actually wanted to say was childish.

Why should I give back what I've got in my hand?

"We're just keeping it for now." Xiaochi Chi pretended not to understand his implication and said softly, "The weapons will give them the courage to fight back, but for now they just need to put on a good show."

After this evening, Lou Xi really admires Xiaochi Chi.

His powers of observation, summary, and quick wisdom in dealing with crisis, and his ability to control the whole scene with his words, made him capture everyone's heart easily.

The eighth world is laid out with the cowardice in human nature, and Xiaochi Chi is able to use this cowardice directly against it, suppressing everyone's desire to kill.

Xiaochi Chi was also really tired and got up shakily, but he fell back on Yu Gan with a weak leg.

Yu Gan has been maintaining a distance from him, only then found that his lips are white unusual, a face is water red red, put on a hand to test the temperature, it is hot Yu Gan a shrink.

...... drenching, shock, plus emotional tension, a series of shock, which directly led to him catching cold and fluttering.

He held his hot forehead against Yu Gan's shoulder, lusting after the cool body heat.

Benshan Yuan's voice asking anxiously "What's wrong" also faded away, and the only sound in his ears was the thumping heartbeat of the person in front of him, as if it had coincided with his heart rate.

Knock, knock, knock.

Yu Gan was in pain and anxious, and in a hurry he blurted out, "Little--"

The secrecy mechanism was immediately activated and he couldn't even send that last word.

He finally gave up and took him in his arms with a helpless and heartbreaking sigh.

...... you ah.
