Ten minutes later, everyone was hiding.
The seven hunters have also split up and are walking slowly and swaggeringly on the street.
The loud speaker of the radio made a crackling sound of electricity, and after a strange music box music, the childish voice sounded, echoing over the entire city.
[I just selected Hunter 5 as the first hunter to act. He will kill the third prey he sees. Please be careful!]
Although he had finished speaking, the broadcast did not stop, and the unpleasant nursery rhymes continued to play intermittently.
I don’t know how long it took, but the official report came again.
[Beep beep beep—Hunter No. 5 has spotted his first prey. It's a man wearing a plaid shirt and jeans hiding behind a door. You're safe for now. Congratulations!]
A few more minutes passed.
[Beep beep beep—Hunter No. 5 has spotted his second prey. It's a girl in a purple dress hiding under the bed. You're safe for now. Congratulations!]
After the first two safe spots were used up, everyone's heart was lifted.
Because the prey is hiding and there are too many hunters, there is no way to know where Hunter No. 5 is...
Just like now, outside the closet where Qi Mi was hiding, there were loud and powerful footsteps.
Such a leisurely pace must belong to a hunter.
Qi Mi specifically chose this two-story roadside inn to hide because there were many rooms here and it would not be easy to search.
But unexpectedly, the footsteps walked leisurely from the wooden corridor outside to the door of this room, as if confirming that the prey he wanted was inside.
The man walked into the living room and stayed for a moment before coming to the bedroom.
After a few seconds of silence, footsteps started again, slowly approaching the wardrobe.
step……
Two steps...
Three steps...
The man opened the wardrobe door without any hesitation.
Qi Mi raised his eyes and what caught his eye was a face with an exaggerated and weird smile.
Xing Tiejun clenched his fists, pressing against his bones, making a crackling sound. He stretched his neck and glared at her fiercely: "I just said, I won't let you go!"
Tsk.
Qi Mi pressed the secret button calmly.
During the stalemate between the two sides, a gunshot exploded from the street.
Such a loud noise, judging from the distance, should be coming from the street next to the inn.
[Beep, beep, beep—Hunter No. 5 successfully eliminated the third prey he saw! Congratulations, congratulations! Let's see what this prey looks like.
It’s actually the same girl in the purple skirt from before…]
The horn kept on honking and the sound was very noisy, so Qi Mi didn't continue listening.
She just noticed that the game had a bug that she hadn't expected.
It's not the first few participants seen who are safe! On the contrary, the person who is spotted near the elimination number is actually the most dangerous. The hunter can successfully turn the previous safe number into the elimination number during the second capture of the camera!
The cameras that Qi fans saw should be the tools that can transmit people's portraits to "food" in real time.
When the camera moved away and then locked on, the girl in the purple skirt went from being the second safe person to the third person to be wiped out.
After all, this game is a carnival of hunting for hunters, and there is no logic at all.
Similarly, after Qi Mi was targeted by this man, no matter what number she drew from the 'food', as long as he took action, she would be the target of his annihilation!
"Hahahaha...are you scared silly?" Xing Tiejun sneered, "Why don't you run away before I take action? I don't like boring games. After all, it's more interesting to scare the prey and make them scream."
"It seems like you're determined to kill me..." Qi Mi walked out of the closet: "I'm quite curious, do you have a dog's nose? Can you find me by smelling me?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, my special ability is Tracking. Once I've got my eye on someone, no one can escape..." Xing Tiejun deliberately leaned in closer, his smile taking on a sinister edge. "For example, I noticed the scent on you is the same as the scent on that Band-Aid I found in Niu Wei's hand... Hey, you were the one who killed Niu Wei, right?"
Qi Mi subconsciously glanced at her hand. The wound had already scabbed over. Then she remembered that there was a smiley face Band-Aid on her hand that Lang Yu had given her that day. She had never expected it to become evidence.
She chuckled, glanced at the open door, moved her toes slightly, and the moment the horn sounded again, she ran out quickly, her feet seemed to have the wind, and disappeared into the bedroom in a flash.
The prey's struggle made Xing Tiejun even more excited, and he started chasing after it.
[Alright everyone! I just selected Hunter 3 as the second hunter. He will kill the 8th prey he sees, so please be careful!]
In the few seconds of the voice broadcast, Qi Mi had already jumped down from the second floor and ran out of the inn at full speed.
For agile doomsday players, escaping is a piece of cake.
Xing Tiejun hadn't expected Qi Mi to be so agile. In a fit of excitement, he also considered jumping directly from the second floor to the ground. But when he looked over, he was still a little scared at the nearly ten-meter distance. After a furious curse, he rushed downstairs at full speed.
When I came to the street again, she was nowhere to be seen. Only the girl in the purple skirt was lying on the cold ground, with the wound on her head still bleeding.
[Beep beep beep—Hunter No. 3 spotted his first prey. Uh... a girl running down the street. Uh... maybe a girl? The image is blurry, so I can't be sure... Anyway, congratulations! This prey is safe for now!]
Qi Mi's speed was so fast that the camera only captured afterimages. The child's voice reporting the news seemed to have burned his mouth, and he made several "uh" sounds.
Xing Tiejun was so angry that he kicked open the trash can at the door of the inn and turned on the intercom to ask Hunter No. 3: "Which direction did the prey you just saw go?"
"Towards Third Street."
"oh."
Xing Tiejun put the walkie-talkie back into his waist and took a few steps before he suddenly realized a problem.
Why did the four bastards that woman brought with her disappear?
He thought back to the Qi Mi he had just seen in the closet and the surrounding environment. It certainly didn't look like there was a child hiding.
Could it be... this is a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Xing Tiejun had an idea and looked back at the inn.
The inn wasn't far from the city gate and had plenty of rooms. If he had taken the chance that 'the most dangerous place is the safest place,' the woman might have hidden here with the child. And he had indeed found her in a room here...
The more Xing Tiejun thought about it, the more he felt that the woman was playing a diversionary tactic. She deliberately hid separately from the children and ran away in front of him. This way, he would only focus on chasing her and would not remember to search the inn again, and then the little bastards hiding inside would be safe.
"What a shame! The more you try to protect them, the more I'm going to hurt them! And I'm going to hurt them right in front of you. Hunting like this is fun, isn't it?!"
Xing Tiejun returned to the inn with a sinister smile and decided to search carefully here.
Half an hour later, under the broadcast of the loud speaker, Hunter No. 3 completed the elimination of the eighth prey he saw. "Shi" was humming a nursery rhyme while drawing the next round of action hunters.
Qi Mi hid in a small street shop selling sugar-roasted chestnuts.
This shop is very small, a long and narrow room of less than four square meters. The reason for choosing it here is its location and structure.
If she encounters an emergency, she has three ways to escape.
The cabinet where she was currently hiding faced the street, and she could use her hands to push herself out and jump out.
There is a back door at the back of the shop, leading to the street next door.
There was a large convenience store above, and the stalled escalator was connected to the wall on one side of the store. I could just stand up and use a little leverage to climb over.
Perhaps he didn't expect that someone would be hiding here, so he didn't stop to check when two hunters passed by.
Qi fans had time to think.
The broadcast was constantly broadcasting in real time, the purpose of which was probably to disrupt the thinking of the participants, so that they could only focus on escaping and could not concentrate on looking for their ultimate goal, "food".
This city is really big, and unless someone has tracking skills, there is no way to find the child who broadcasts.
Looks like I need to find a way to utilize that person's tracking ability...
Who's the third hunter to take action? Ding ding ding—it's number 7! Which prey will he kill? Ding ding dang—it's also the 7th one! Everyone, hide carefully and don't get killed!
[It's been almost an hour, and none of you have found me yet. This is so boring...]
Amidst the complaints coming from the radio, Qi Mi walked to the street with his hands on the counter.
She looked around and did not find any other hiding place. She stood in the middle of the street, as if she was afraid that others would not find her.
Soon, Xing Tiejun, who had tracking ability, came over with a sullen face and a shining dagger in his hand.
"Where did you hide those bastards?"
In half an hour, he had searched the entire inn, even opening every toilet in the bathroom. Not to mention the four little bastards, he couldn't even find a hair of them!
Qi Mi folded his hands and chuckled: "Why, you really like my students?"
Xing Tiejun raised his dagger and pointed it at Qi Mi, saying viciously, "I told you I won't let any of you or them go! Now is my hunting time. If you want to stay alive, you better answer this question! Where are those bastards?!"
He practically roared, his previously flawless deductions crumbling in his head. His confidence shattered, he couldn't even focus on the task at hand; he was only concerned with finding the whereabouts of those vanished bastards.
[Beep beep beep—Hunter No. 7 has spotted his first prey. It's a girl standing in the middle of the street, wearing a green hoodie and black pants. You're safe for now. Congratulations!]
Hearing the slightly sarcastic "congratulations," Qi Mi couldn't help but sneer. She lightly tapped her left eye, and her bright blue eyes instantly lit up as she stared at Xing Tiejun:
"Want to know? Get down on your knees and beg me."
