Ning Que and the others got on the bus. Ning Que stood in front and counted the number of people. Something was wrong. Why were there fewer people? Xiao Pingping clearly said
There were 13 people, one less, so he said to the driver, "Master, wait a minute, one more person is missing."
"No need for tour guide, let that idiot go by himself." said a player in the car.
"Wait a minute~" A boy ran over here, got in the car and said sorry to Ning Que.
Ning Que looked at that face, and in his heart he knew it as a second person. On the outside, he said very calmly, "It's okay, get in! Master, you can drive now."
As the car was shaking, Ning Que said, "Hello everyone, welcome to choose XX Travel Company. I am your tour guide this time. ... The journey is quite long, and it will take about 4 hours." After that, Ning Que sat in the first row with his bag. Hu Yuanshan, who came last, also sat in the first row happily.
His action caused the people behind him to whisper. When Ning Que saw him, he immediately made a gesture to keep quiet. He also sat there obediently and typed on his phone, "Sister, I understand. Let's talk later."
Ning Que quietly gave an OK sign. At this moment, a girl with a mushroom-shaped haircut came up and asked hesitantly, "Guide, tour guide, please, are you familiar with that place?"
Ning Que stood up and said with a smile, "Are we familiar with each other? Those people in the back who forced her to come up, if you have anything to say, come up and ask, don't hide in the back!"
A boy in the fifth row of the bus stood up and asked, "Tour guide, are there any customs there? For example, are there anything we should pay attention to?"
"I heard that there are ghost stories in some places. Since we have so much time, you can tell us some." A girl with big eyes and a butterfly painted on the corner of her eyes also took over.
Ning Que could feel that everyone was listening attentively to what she was saying, except for Secretary Zhong who was lowering her head and talking to the man next to her.
"There are no customs, and I don't know much about ghost stories. Anyway, after the founding of the country, spirits are not allowed. I can only say that the scenery over there is beautiful. I will take you there." Ning Que really didn't know what the taboos were, so he sat down and ignored them.
The car stopped once on the way and then continued to the destination.
Ning Que had been sleeping in the car and was finally woken up by a mechanical sound. He saw that he was almost at his destination and there were a few people standing under the familiar banyan tree.
"Attention, everyone! We're about to get off the bus. Please check your belongings to avoid leaving them behind." Ning Que waited for the bus to stabilize before taking out some of the things they had left inside. There were 13 backpacks and a large suitcase in total. Then she saw a small suitcase in the corner. [Instructions for use of the suitcase: The things inside are for your aunt. They will help build good relationships.]
Ning Que took it out immediately and said to the players, "Take your own things with you." After they took their things, the car started and drove away, leaving only exhaust gas.
The village chief's wife, no, now it's time to call her aunt. The village chief's wife called out in dialect: "Nannan is here, I've been talking about it several times." Ning Que thought, uh, this is not my dialect! He obediently said in dialect to the village chief who came with his wife, "Uncle, Aunt."
Yiping: "This dialect is currently only understood by people in this village. Players won't understand it."
Ning Que explained the little detail behind this, and the village chief waved his hand generously, "It's okay, Wu San's wife still has a vacant house, you can just bring a few people to stay with us."
"Okay, thank you for your help, uncle. They will pay for the accommodation." Ning Que replied in dialect and asked the players to form their own teams. In the end, Hu Yuanshan, the boy who was asking about customs in the car, and the girl with butterflies on her face followed. The village chief took the remaining 10 people to the wife of Wu San.
Little Butterfly and Ning Que lived together, two boys per room. Ning Que opened his suitcase and took out a bag of [Taste of Hometown: Local Specialties]. He went to the village head's wife and said, "Auntie, this is for you." The village head's wife smiled and kept touching Ning Que's arm. "Nannan is so good, she knows how to honor me. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
Ning Que was carrying a cage and preparing to leave the hospital. He glanced at Hu Yuanshan and asked him to follow him. Hu Yuanshan immediately jumped up and said, "Sister, wait for me, I'm going too."
"Sister, what a coincidence, you're also in this dungeon." Hu Yuanshan was very happy. "My brother and I were both scared to death at the end of the last dungeon. What is your identity this time?"
Ning Que didn't answer, "Yuanyuan, what about yours?"
"This, this isn't good." Hu Yuanshan replied awkwardly, "There should be a conflicting mission this time."
Ning Que looked at this little brother, "Then why are you asking me?" Seeing Hu Yuanshan's embarrassed face, he replied, "It absolutely does not conflict with you."
Hu Yuanshan felt a little embarrassed. "Sister, haha, after all, the environment forces us to do so. Our main mission this time is to survive for seven days, escape from this village, and uncover the village's biggest secret. My identity and that of the two people in your family are the same. We must eliminate at least three people within seven days, and we can only complete the mission if we can't detect the first three."
Ning Que rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the water. "We have quite a lot of missions this time. Do you have any new members on your team?"
"There is one, that girl."
Ning Que bent over while holding the trap and looking for a suitable place to place it. He thought, it seems that Yuanyuan's identity was specially arranged. Yiping knew that I would definitely choose Hu Yuanshan, whom I knew, in this kind of confrontation. So he positioned him as a killer with a smaller number of people, and I was his helper, to maintain the balance between the huge difference in numbers and total strength.
After the earth dragon was placed, they returned as the sun set. The dinner at the village chief's house was incredibly lively, attracting a large number of villagers. Ning Que, pressured by his status, was dragged around to be introduced to villagers, and he met a large group of unfamiliar villagers. The crowd gradually dispersed in the middle of the night.
Ning Que finished washing up and sat on the bed yawning. At this moment, the door creaked and three figures came in. The last figure made a gesture to the door and released three paper figures.
Ning Que turned on the light. Hu Yuanshan clasped his hands together and said, "Sister, please." Then the three people prepared to leave. Ning Que asked, "Who are you going to deal with?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the newcomers must not be killed the night before." Hu Yuanshan replied.
Ning Que looked at the three paper figures with pigtails, wearing large cotton-padded jackets with red flowers, two circles of blush on their faces and no pupils. She looked at them, and they turned their heads, their bright red mouths looking like they had eaten a child, without even wiping them.
Ning Que closed his eyes, and in his mind were those three big faces swaying around, with the two blushes and bloody mouths particularly obvious. He looked for Yiping, but Yiping did not come back.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ning Que stood up, pulled a sheet from the cabinet, shook it, and covered the three paper figures. She lit a candle, then thought for a moment, only to see their facial features distorted with fear. Their blush faded, and the closer the candle got, the paler the color. Ning Que toyed with them, back and forth, becoming a little too excited. The paper figures rustled in the windless room, so she extinguished the candle and pulled out a box of playing cards she had seen earlier from a drawer. She also placed a small flashlight between them.
Ning Que looked around and felt something was missing. There was only one candle in the entire room, so he lit it and placed it between her and the paper figurine. "Play cards quietly, don't disturb me." She turned off the lights, and a beautiful large night light cast a soft glow in the darkness. She thought it would be even more beautiful if there were more candles in a circle.
Ning Que took out the MP3 player he brought from home and found an English listening song. It was getting late and it was time to go to bed.
A few hours later, when the three men crept into the classroom again, the boy who had released the paper figurine watched the scene unfold. He lifted the covers to see his figurine sitting obediently, between an unsealed deck of playing cards and a glowing flashlight. He felt a strange sense of myocardial infarction. The three figurines, seeing him, twisted around and gestured to him. He quickly put them away, a look of indescribable emotion still on his face.
Hu Yuanshan watched this scene and thought to himself, "As expected, I saw that my sister was a werewolf last time." Little Butterfly took a look and said to Hu Yuanshan sincerely, "I think the best thing you did was to bring her over to our side."
The three figures went out again, and Ning Que slept alone on the bed until dawn.
