"The Death Game started a long time ago. At that time, the number of people was not as many as the thousand now. There were only two or three hundred. And for me, it is not the first time to do a mission, but... it is the first time for me to kill someone..." When Xiao Bingbing said this, her body trembled slightly.
"I can see that, but even though it was your first time, you still killed someone decisively. I admire you for that," I said.
A bitter look appeared on Xiao Bingbing's lips. "Because I know that if I don't kill anyone, I won't be able to complete the mission, and then I will die. Between my own death and the death of others, no one will choose their own!"
I nodded. "If you don't work for yourself, you'll be punished by heaven and earth. That's understandable. You just said this game started a long time ago, right?"
Xiao Bingbing nodded.
I pondered silently. If, as Xiao Bingbing said, this death game had already begun long ago, then one thing was certain: the murderer wasn't specifically targeting me! Even though the fact that the murderer knew my name had always made me suspect that the murderer was someone I knew and was right next to me, Xiao Bingbing's words completely dispelled that thought. After all, the murderer had already started this death game long ago, and at that time, there were only two or three hundred people.
One thing is certain: the killer might be conducting some sort of experiment, using us as guinea pigs, monitoring and toying with us. Initially, the number of people has risen to a thousand, with hundreds already dead. What puzzles me most is how the killer learned the identities of these thousand people. He knows their whereabouts, what they're doing, and who's around them. Is this incredible technology a product of high technology or a supernatural phenomenon?
This is what puzzles me the most. According to my own conjecture, there is a ghost at work, but this ghost is quite special and even I can't detect it!
"How long has it been since the game started? Has anything happened during this period?" I continued to ask.
What I didn't expect was that Xiao Bingbing suddenly narrowed her eyes and said cleverly, "You can ask such a question... If I guessed correctly, you must be below number 900, or even after number 950!"
I was sweating: "Why is this so sure?"
Xiao Bingbing laughed and said, "If they were before number 900, they definitely wouldn't ask such a question. They've been through a lot and definitely know more about the basic rules and details of this game than you, who know nothing at all. And you, on the other hand, know absolutely nothing about this game. Without a doubt, you must be a participant after number 900. You can't be wrong!"
I smiled and said, "So what? Even if I'm a participant after 900, there's no need to be so excited, right? Is there any reward for participants after 900?"
Xiao Bingbing shook her head and said, "I didn't mention the reward, but the killer said before that everyone from number 100, 200, 300... 900 to 1000, a total of ten people, would be the ones the killer values most. In other words, these ten people would be under the greatest threat of death. I'm number 100, the first of the ten, and I've been under death threats the entire time. Now that this is my first kill, I'm ready to risk everything."
Numbers 100 to 1000? Ten people? The one with the highest death threat rate?
I was covered in cold sweats. No wonder I almost died after just starting this death game. The death threat rate was really high! Although Su Xiaoniu saved me in the end, the receptionist died because of me. I still feel resentful about this incident to this day.
Xiao Bingbing looked at me and said, "Look at your expression... You don't feel relieved about being excluded from the ten, but rather a bit distracted. So, I know what number you are. It's either 900 or 1000, right?"
I was stunned for a moment. Damn, this little girl has such a sharp eye. I didn't show it that seriously, did I? She saw it all. Amazing! I said helplessly, "Why do you always like to guess? Is it fun?"
Xiao Bingbing said proudly, "Because women's intuition is always very accurate, and I'm a psychology graduate. I currently work at the 'Strange Detective Agency' and am very interested in supernatural phenomena that cannot be explained by science. Just like this death game I'm currently encountering, I've been secretly investigating it. I'm very confident in my ability to read people's expressions."
I gasped in surprise: "So you're a detective. But little detective, you'd better not make blind guesses about my affairs. It will get you killed."
Xiao Bingbing said with a smile, "If I hadn't guessed it right, why would you be so excited? Are all men nowadays so stingy? No wonder my sister is 26 and still doesn't want to find a man. It seems there's a reason for that."
"Your sister? Who is she?" I deliberately changed the subject. This girl is so eloquent, I can't win against her at all.
"My sister is a killer who kills without blinking an eye. You'd better be polite to me, otherwise, you won't know how you died one day." Xiao Bingbing said arrogantly.
I rolled my eyes. He's just a killer, isn't he? How could he be scarier than a ghost? You must be kidding!
Just then, our death phone rang with a new message: "Ah~ It's time for another exciting death game. Are you all ready? Then, it's time for No. 700 to assassinate your parents while they're having dinner with you. The time limit is one hour. The mission begins!"
