The Passerby Only Wants a Peaceful Life

After retiring early, Luo Qing moved to an old street district full of human warmth. Every day, she'd go downstairs to Ping An Real Estate to zone out, living a simple and uneventful peaceful l...

Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Who is my bridegroom/bride 2

In the newlyweds' villa, as soon as the three local NPCs who came to register left, the players dispersed.

In the room of Cui Xiangwan, the temporary leading player of this dungeon, several players were trying to analyze the information on the whiteboard and the six "suspicious newcomers" who were left by them through the process of elimination.

Cen Jin, 29 years old, male, freelance, judging by his looks and figure, is a handsome guy who will turn heads when he walks on the street.

Xia Tian, ​​27 years old, female, model, has a very Japanese-style, plain-looking appearance. She may not seem pretty at first glance, but the more you look at her, the more attractive she becomes.

Wang Lele, 28 years old, female, art teacher, has a baby face. When you first meet her, it is easy to overlook her age and think she is still a student.

Yue Ye, 33 years old, male, with slightly dark skin, a somewhat sturdy mature man, claims to be a martial arts coach.

Xiang Tiange, 30 years old, female, 1.8 meters tall, with a crew cut, unemployed.

Mei Ziqing, 27 years old, male, tall and thin boy with single eyelids, unemployed.

These occupations were all written down quickly by Cui Xiangwan when he was the last one to go through the "registration" just now.

Frankly speaking, including the five players in their room, this copy can be called a "beauty game". They either have good looks or good figures, and on average they can be considered to have above-average or even above-average looks and figures.

Although she has never seen Qin Yinuo, who is about to get married, Cui Xiangwan has already concluded the first point: she must be a face lover!

"If you ask me, maybe this game is really about choosing a concubine for Qin Yinuo. The copy is definitely carefully selected for the players this time." A player said again.

"Without any intelligence, the process of elimination is too difficult." Female player Li Xiang stared blankly at the contents on the whiteboard.

"The main reason is that the NPC just asked us to register, and we didn't have time to ask them privately." Another male player also sighed.

"Knock knock knock—" There was a sudden knock on the door, and Cui Xiangwan immediately put away the whiteboard.

"Are the other players here?" Inside the house, five people chirped quietly, and the player closest to the door went to open it.

When they got off the bus, the five of them gathered together. Having just finished registering and going upstairs, they had waited until the very end before entering a room together, just to signal to the other players, "Come on, the main group is here."

As long as ten people successfully recognize each other, this copy will be easy.

"Are you all here?" Two men came knocking on the door.

The players all have good memories of it, and the people they faced directly were Cen Jin and Mei Ziqing.

"Wow, you guys gathered together so quickly." Mei Ziqing said.

"Oh, if you had joined the group earlier, we wouldn't have been so slow to get together."

Mei Ziqing smiled helplessly, "I've been cheated before."

"It's not too late to come now." Cen Jin beside him had a twinkle in his eyes and then spoke.

"Well, ahem, let's discuss the verification issue for joining the group." Cui Xiangwan coughed twice.

"Who will go first?"

The five of them had just racked their brains to come up with the player's "code matching"; it had to be a widely circulated meme in reality, so that they could screen out TA.

Before they could officially start exchanging secret signals, there was another knock on the door, and three women and one man entered the room.

The originally spacious room suddenly became narrow with eleven people gathered together.

Cui Xiangwan and four other players: ...

Now that they're all here, how did the hidden person know to come? Did they just follow along when they saw others coming?

"So, who among the eleven of us is he? Have those of you who gathered first already confirmed their identities?"

The one who spoke at this time was Xiang Tiange, the girl with a short haircut who had just walked in. She crossed her arms, wore a long shirt, sweatpants and short boots, and her eyes were extremely oppressive.

"The five of us have confirmed it." Cui Xiangwan said.

"That's easy. There are only six of us left, so we can fight you one by one?" Xiang Tiange spoke quickly and clearly.

"There are too many people and too many eyes. Find another room? Who will be in charge among the five of you? One on one."

"The rest of you stay here and are supervised by others. You are not allowed to communicate without permission." She quickly gave an implementation plan.

"A companion and I will be in charge. Let's go to the next room and come one by one. Is that okay?"

Next door was the room of female player Li Xiang, and Cui Xiangwan greeted her.

"Who will come first? Let's go in the order in which you knocked on the door just now."

"OK, I'm fine."

"Can."

"Okay, let's do it."

With the same goal in mind, everyone agreed readily.

The first person to enter the next room was Mei Ziqing.

"How much is the shirt?" Cui Xiangwan asked.

"Nine pounds fifteen pence."

"Now I need you to write a letter for a foreign friend. Your name is——"

"Li Hua!" Mei Ziqing answered the question without thinking at all, it was completely a conditioned reflex and instinct.

"Love you walking alone in the dark alley~"

"I love the way you don't kneel down," Li Xiang sang a little off-tune, but Mei Ziqing immediately continued with the chorus.

......

Cui Xiangwan and Li Xiang looked at each other and said, "Pass!"

In the next half hour, after successfully "interviewing" six potential players, Cui Xiangwan and Li Xiang were stunned.

From hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and boron, to odd-change and even-unchanged numbers, even the popular songs of the post-00s generation and clichés on the internet were all sung together. How come most people can get it right?

No one was stuck by these codes!

Oh my god, who is he and who is the traitor?

Why does even TA in the weird world understand the secret codes in reality?

When the two walked out of the room with heavy steps and met the expectant eyes of other players, they could only shake their heads with helplessness and a wry smile.

"You may not believe it, but everyone has passed the code test."

"We're still not sure who he is?"

The atmosphere at the scene was silent for a moment. Xia Tian chewed gum and asked, "So, what about you five?"

"They confirmed it over there." Xiang Tiange spoke quickly.

"Trouble." She sighed. Because she didn't like to interact with other players offline, she didn't join the group after seeing the post. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place. But there was no way to regret it now.

"So among the six of us, TA exists, but we can't judge it now. In your eyes, we are untrustworthy?" Cen Jin said with a smile.

"That's right." Cui Xiangwan simply agreed at this moment.

"I'm sorry, but the five of us can't accommodate any of the six at this time."

"I have no objection. I understand. We will keep each other informed when there is news." Yue Ye said concisely.

Wang Lele spoke slowly at this moment, "Me too."

After a long battle of exchanging secret codes and looking for teammates, the action ended in a bad mood.

Cui Xiangwan spread out the whiteboard again, holding his forehead, unable to understand why this happened.

It is known that he/she is not a player, and the mission prompt of the dungeon also clearly states that he/she is one of the eleven people on the minibus.

So, how did he know so many secret codes?

Cui Xiangwan's pupils suddenly shrank. Could it be that... this copy is actually a confrontational one?

He confirmed that the copy prompt he received was to find TA, but this time there were ten people in the copy, and with a 50-50 probability, it was possible that there would be a hidden camp confrontation.

If other players are assigned to "TA's" camp, that is, they must help TA hide their identity as newcomers, they must give the other party a secret code to convey all information.

This code was chosen by the five of them who had confirmed their identities as players in advance.

Cui Xiangwan's face turned green. No way, the copy wouldn't be so stupid to him, right?

If this really is a copy that implies a faction confrontation, then doesn't it mean that all his hard work for a long time was in vain? He wonders how many undercovers are hidden among the four players around him!

But only this way is reasonable enough to explain why TA would appear with the players, knock on the door, and be able to answer all questions.

"Why on earth does he know the secret code?" Li Xiang muttered.

"It can't be that in this weird dungeon, NPCs can also access our internet cafe outside." Another female player complained.

"Is it really not one of us who leaked it?" a male player said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked at him. Cui Xiangwan secretly said that this was not good. If these words were spoken, everyone's trust would be in jeopardy!

Li Xiang was stunned when he heard this. "No way, who doesn't want to pass the game?"

"What if the other camp needs help to hide their newcomer identity?" the male player spoke again.

"The only person I can trust now is Brother Xiangwan." The male player had a small braid and was looking at Cui Xiangwan.

"Everyone calm down first, we can't have internal chaos." Cui Xiangwan took a few deep breaths. The unity they had promised collapsed in the face of the existence of a camp that might be a confrontational copy.

Cui Xiangwan was the one who organized them in reality, and was also the first one to call them together in the dungeon and clearly read out the dungeon requirements to find "TA".

"That's right, Brother Xiang Wan is right. The five of us were together as soon as we got off the bus, including when we checked in. Apart from finding our own rooms to put our luggage, we got together again within five minutes. There was no chance to communicate with him/her at all." Li Xiang tried to restore everyone's unity.

"In faction confrontation dungeons, there are usually special communication channels." The male player with pigtails spoke again.

Li Xiang completely shut up at this moment. This little braid obviously believed that there was a confrontation between the camps. So no matter what he said, it was meaningless. In his eyes, it was all a boring argument.

"What do you think?" Cui Xiangwan looked at the other two players.

"This dungeon has sinister intentions. They specifically gave players a preview of the dungeon, giving them the opportunity to collude in advance. Maybe they did it just to disgust us by entering the dungeon. No matter how much we prepare, they will directly cut us off in the dungeon." The female player with the princess hairstyle smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, people's hearts are unpredictable. Now, except for Brother Xiang Wan, no one trusts each other. So let's explore separately as Brother Xiang Wan said before. Anyway, I will tell Brother Xiang Wan when I have any information." The blue-haired male player spoke.

Just like that, the four players reluctantly separated and went back to their rooms, leaving Cui Xiangwan alone.

Cui Xiangwan only felt that he sensed strong malice. The current situation was that the players did not trust each other, but trusted him.

But he himself didn't know who he could trust. If everyone came to tell him the information, Cui Xiangwan would not be able to confirm the authenticity of the information or whether it was misleading from players of another camp.

He held the whiteboard and looked up at the sky, muttering, "Oh my God, you are kidding me."

Can an NPC come and tell him who he is?
