After about five minutes, Qingting came out of the room.
"Xiaoting, who are you?" Tong Duoduo asked impatiently.
"Keep it a secret for now. I'm going to change my clothes." Qingting smiled mysteriously, turned and walked to the other side. When she was about to walk out of the box area, she looked back at Wei Lai.
The process of understanding the personality first and then assigning roles was obviously beyond Wei Lai's predictive ability, leaving him with a head full of question marks.
"Who's coming in next?"
"Me."
Wei Lai walked into the room without thinking.
After closing the room, Yao Xue picked up a pen and prepared to start taking notes.
"Tell me your name first."
"Wei Lai."
After saying the name, Wei Lai was just about to ask Qing Ting's identity. Anyway, when the game started, everyone would know each other's surface identities, and he felt that Yao Xue should tell him.
"Well, so you are Wei Lai, then you can go out."
"Huh?" Wei Lai used his ability and was speechless when he learned that Xiaoting had told Yao Xue about his affairs.
So Qingting stayed in the room for so long that she must have revealed all his secrets.
"Then what is my identity?"
"A married man visiting a brothel." Yao Xue smiled with narrowed eyes.
“…”
Wei Lai didn't feel funny at all. Why did he become such a person in Qingting's eyes?
A cheating husband? That's not a good label.
Coming out of the room, Wang Zi also came over and asked, "Wei Lai, what role are you in?"
"You'll know soon. You go in next."
Wei Lai pushed Wang Zi out of the room without saying a word, not giving him any time to react.
"I'm going to change my clothes too."
With Wang Zi's previous experience as a lesson, Su Xiao and Sun Fei did not hesitate to ask again. They watched Wei Lai go to the cashier to ask where to change clothes.
After Wei Lai disappeared, the four people began to discuss.
"Sun Fei, what do you think Wei Lai's identity is?"
"In ancient brothels, boys only had one identity, and as for girls..."
Sun Fei combined the expressions of the two people when they left and quietly pulled Su Xiao aside.
"This script is very hostile. Girls can only play the role of singing girls or something like that. If boys are not clients, they are probably the same. That's why they are reluctant to talk about it."
"It's just a game, why take it so seriously?" Su Xiao understood, but didn't quite understand.
"Didn't Boss Yao say that the roles were assigned based on our personalities? So..."
"Okay, let's see when the time comes." Su Xiao shook his head. If he continued, he would start to think too much.
The two parties involved were unwilling to speak out, so Tong Duoduo and the others turned around and chose to look for Qiong Yue, the person who wrote the script.
"Teacher Qiong, what kind of story does this ancient brothel female ghost murder case tell?"
"I don't know much about the game, but judging by the script alone, it seems to be a rather suspenseful horror story." Qiong Yue's expression gradually became intriguing. "You'll know after you play it. It's pointless for me to tell you now."
"Why is this happening?" Tong Duoduo and Ke Ke both looked disappointed.
Only Master Jing seemed to be lost in thought. After a moment, her eyes lit up and she said, "I understand!"
"What do you understand, Master, tell me quickly."
"Uh-huh...I won't tell you. It won't make any sense if I tell you."
Tong Duoduo covered her mouth and shook her head, and in the end she was unwilling to reveal what she guessed.
…
The process of role assignment and costume change took nearly half an hour in total.
When everyone finally returned to the box room, everyone's identity was revealed.
Wang Zi, a rich young man who invited his friends to a brothel to get drunk, slept in the brothel on the night of the incident.
Sun Fei, a scholar who went to a brothel to get drunk, also slept in the brothel on the night of the incident.
Su Xiao, a night watchman who witnessed the appearance of a female ghost in the middle of the night.
Wei Lai, a married man who accompanied his friend, a rich young man, to a brothel to get drunk, returned home late at night on the night of the incident.
Qingting, the wife of a married man, deeply loves her husband.
Ke Ke, the brothel's madam, was the first person known to have discovered the crime scene and the second to have seen a female ghost.
Tong Duoduo, a brothel singer, is the second person known to have discovered the crime scene. She also said she saw a ghost.
Jing Shishi, singer C in the brothel, was the last person to arrive at the crime scene in the brothel. She did not see the ghost, but she could prove that singer A was indeed in the room when the crime happened.
"This is roughly all the known clues after the case, as well as the order in which the characters appear and their basic information. Next, you all forget your previous relationships and identities, put yourself in the roles, ask each other questions, and compare the clues to find the real culprit."
Yao Xue placed the pictures and clue cards of different time points in her hand on the sandalwood round table and spoke while standing aside.
After saying that, he walked behind the red gauze curtain.
At this time, Qiong Yue was also standing behind the red gauze curtain. Yao Xue came close to her and whispered, "Who do you think will discover the murderer first?"
Qiong Yue glanced at her and said, "I haven't played it before, but Qingting is the smartest among the eight people, so she should be the one."
"You never know. Don't underestimate women's emotions." Yao Xue chuckled softly.
When the game started, Wang Zi was the one who got into the role the fastest.
He felt that the identity of a rich young man suited him perfectly, especially since he and Wei Lai and Qing Ting still maintained a relationship in the game that was almost the same as in real life.
However, he was not very interested in the clues on the table, and he immediately went to Wei Lai's side.
"Brother Wei, I'm so sorry for dragging you out for some wine and making you go home so late. You must have been kicked out of bed by my sister-in-law."
