Chapter 524 The game of intrigue begins



The moment Xie Mi saw Xiao Jingxi put the cake into his mouth, he no longer bothered to pretend, having achieved his goal.

So when she heard his sickeningly affectionate line, she just smiled and raised her middle finger.

"Just act, but don't fool yourself. If you really think you're the male lead in some idol drama, that would be ridiculous."

[Seeking a tutorial on how to be venomous]

[I feel relieved when I see that Lao Xie’s mouth is still filled with poison]

[People’s faces do change. Ever since I watched Love Detective, I find Xiao Jingxi’s TV dramas hilarious whenever I look back.]

[Xiao Jingxi is really persistent. He was tortured so badly in the first and second seasons, but he still hasn't given up in the third season? ]

[If you really love me this much, don't do it in the first place. If you knew it would be like this, why did you do it in the first place?]

[Wrong, Xiao Jingxi didn’t regret losing Xie Mi, he just knew he was going to lose popularity]

[Upstairs ordered]

[You are all discussing Xiao Jingxi's behavior, but I feel that Lao Xie's behavior is also a little abnormal. It seems to me that she is deliberately tempting Xiao Jingxi to eat cake.]

[The card above Xiao Jingxi's head says "eating", could it be?]

After enticing Xiao Jingxi to eat the cake, Xie Mi didn't want to stay even a second longer and turned around to show off the fruits at the next table.

Then the unexpected happened.

Xiao Jingxi, who didn't get any favor from Xie Mi, turned away with a bad look on his face, as if he was going to get a glass of red wine to relieve his boredom.

But before he could get the wine from the waiter's tray, the waiter quickly dodged away.

He frowned slightly and was about to ask the servant what he was doing.

"Bang!"

A cream bullet suddenly flew straight towards his face, hitting him with a bang.

Now he knew why the servant had avoided him.

Because I was afraid of being hurt by mistake.

“Oh my god!”

The sound startled Qiu Chengye who was not far away. When he saw the scene here, he was even more incredulous, "What's going on? Zhao Hong, what are you doing!"

Zhao Hong is a logistical staff member of the program team. He is usually responsible for preparing behind-the-scenes work for Qiu Chengye, so Qiu Chengye remembers his name.

The cream bullet that hit Xiao Jingxi was fired from a cream gun that Zhao Hong suddenly took out from his cloak.

When his name was called, Zhao Hong smiled awkwardly, put away his cream gun, wrapped himself in a cloak, and blended into the crowd.

"you……"

Qiu Chengye strode up to Xiao Jingxi and was about to ask about the situation, but he suddenly shut up when he saw the words above Xiao Jingxi's head.

He just saw Xiao Jingxi eating cake.

He seemed to understand something.

Xie Mi, who witnessed everything from a distance, also confirmed his guess.

That’s right, this is the hidden rule of today’s banquet.

You cannot perform the actions shown on the card above your head.

For example, if Qiu Chengye’s card says singing, he cannot sing tonight, otherwise he will be attacked by these staff members in cloaks with a cream gun at any time.

Xiao Jingxi was attacked because he had put a card on his head.

But the program team handled it very cleverly.

They did not attack immediately after Xiao Jingxi ate the cake, but waited a few minutes.

This would make Xiao Jingxi confused and he wouldn't know why he was being attacked.

[It makes you feel uncomfortable party version! 】

[Sure enough, it’s this game. I was wondering why everyone has to wear a card on their head. But this is the first time I’ve seen this game played on such a large scale.]

[In case you don't know, let me explain this game to you. Each player has to wear a card on his head. There is an action on the card. If you do the action on the card, you lose. So other players in the game have to induce the other player to do the action on the card, so as to eliminate the other player and let you survive to the end]

[But the game they are playing doesn't seem to have an elimination mechanism. You see, Xiao Jingxi's card was not replaced after he ate. This means that they will wear a card all night. If you can guess the content on your card and don't behave accordingly, you will be safe all night.]

[If you keep doing the actions on the card, you will keep getting hit by the cream bomb, is that what you mean? ]

I guess so.

[That’s it. Looking at Xiao Jingxi’s expression, I have 200% guessed it.]

"What are you doing?"

After taking a towel from the servant's tray and wiping off the cream on his face, Xiao Jingxi's original exquisite makeup was no longer there.

His expression was extremely grim. "Is this also a prank?"

Qiu Chengye, who already knew the truth, pursed his lips tightly, and it took all his life's acting skills to make the corners of his mouth twitch and not fully rise.

After twitching for a long time, he said with a serious face.

"Is it related to the game in the morning, because you were counting last?" He deliberately misled Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi was not stupid either, "If that's the case, why weren't you attacked?"

After all, he is the second to last, while Qiu Chengye is the last.

The lie was exposed in a second. Qiu Chengye couldn't continue and simply said he didn't know.

At this time, other guests also followed the sound to the center of the venue and saw the cream residue on Xiao Jingxi's hair and collar.

"This is……"

Liu Woxing hesitated to speak and did not talk directly to Xiao Jingxi and Qiu Chengye. Instead, he looked at Xie Mi not far away with an inquiring look.

As smart as Liu Woxing was, when he saw Xiao Jingxi, Qiu Chengye and Xie Mi all had cards with words on their heads, he vaguely guessed that something was wrong.

Xie Mi didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and made a hushing gesture.

Liu Woxing understood, so he stopped talking and continued observing.

Everyone arrived one after another, and everyone saw the words above each other's heads.

Everyone kept silent, and there was an undercurrent of tension in the air.

Xie Mi knew this game, but some people had never played it.

But even so, after recording Love Detective for so long, they have more or less understood the routines of the program team.

Although I don’t know what the content on the card means, since no one can see the text above their head, it means that this thing must never be spoken out.

[Why is this scene inexplicably touching?]

[Eight people came to this mysterious banquet for different purposes. As soon as they arrived at the banquet, they were told that they had entered a game. They walked through the crowd of NPCs and came to the center of the banquet. They finally saw the other contestants. Thus, a scheming competition began...]

[The one above, the pen is for you, you write it]

[You know what, seeing them both remain silent and only communicate with each other through eye contact, it really feels a bit like that]

[The plot suddenly became interesting. I can’t imagine how tragic the consequences would be if this group of people played this game.]
