Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Princess Zai screamed in the tower.
132
On top of the tower.
On the desk, a stack of white letter papers lay quietly. Next to the letter papers was a black hollow pen holder with a white feather pen in it.
There is an exquisite hollow candlestick on the left corner of the table, with the candlelight flickering and burning slowly.
The candlelight lengthened the shadows, and the figures swayed back and forth on the wall.
Dazai Osamu walked to the desk and his appearance was reflected in the makeup mirror.
Big round eyes, big golden wavy wig, yellow flat duck beak, still in the shape of Elizabeth's leather suit.
He pulled at the hood but didn't pull off the wig.
The dim candlelight made Elizabeth's profile hazy, and the light and shadow floated with the candlelight.
Dazai Osamu raised his hand and swept all the papers on the table to the ground.
The white paper swayed to the ground, and the pen holder rolled on the ground.
"Nothing unusual..."
Dazai Osamu glanced at the table and looked back while talking.
I've just checked the bed, fireplace, and sofa, and there's nothing strange about them.
Dazai Osamu looked around and paced back and forth in the closed room.
He looked at the black iron door, stepped forward to the door, and shook the door handle back and forth, but to no avail.
Dazai Osamu turned back to the original book and opened the original page. It was blank, as if the text fragment he had seen before had never appeared.
He looked at the live broadcast interface, his brain seemed to be divided into two halves, one half was paying attention to the developments on Li Xiaoqi's side, and the other half was thinking about the meaning of the appearance of that text.
"dagger……"
Dazai Osamu thought of the level when opening the temple anchor point, and at the end a dagger stabbed into Li Xiaoqi's chest.
He was nervous for a moment, but his reason made him relax quickly.
Li Xiaoqi now has the physique of a ghost. The wound on his chest would be fatal to a human, but for a ghost it would recover quickly.
The pink skirt was spread on the ground, Dazai Osamu sat down cross-legged, and looked out the window quietly.
The crescent moon sank into the clouds and dark clouds gradually gathered.
The symphony music could be heard faintly in the distance, and he carefully recalled Li Xiaoqi's appearance at that time.
She fell to the ground and looked at Rengoku Kyojuro first because she was worried about him.
Rengoku Kyojuro's memory was unlocked, but he calmly continued to pretend to have lost his memory.
Afterwards, Xiao Qi fell into a trance, and that expression... seemed like he had seen some hallucination.
At that time, her face was full of horror.
Muzan Kibutsuji and the others probably thought that Xiaoqi was frightened by the sudden situation, so they didn't have any other questions.
When he saw it, he was just surprised and temporarily took note of Xiaoqi's strange reaction.
The dagger was coated with wisteria poison. It stayed on Li Xiaoqi's chest for about two and a half minutes before turning into a spot of light and disappearing. Then the treasure chest appeared.
[…The loser will lose himself, lose his ability, and become a puppet.]
The system's voice came from the live broadcast screen.
"The dagger pierced the woman's chest... until the woman on the ground became a puppet..."
"A puppet?"
"Is the random consumable item the system mentioned really random?"
Dazai Osamu was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured.
"In the Werewolf game, werewolves kill civilians and clergy by stabbing them in the chest with a dagger while they're asleep. However, among those who participate in the Werewolf game, only Xiao Qi is a woman... It's a bit similar to what's described in the book."
He called up the task list, and a countdown appeared next to one of the tasks, which was to help the anchor Xiaoqi deliver information. There were less than two hours left.
"Help..."
He murmured softly, lying on the ground, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"So far, the eighth player has not appeared."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange man's voice came from the live broadcast interface.
Dazai Osamu frowned slightly and looked at the live broadcast interface.
The barrage of comments became excited, and even Li Xiaoqi's eyes brightened a lot at this moment.
Li Xiaoqi was happy about the sudden appearance of the strange man, and both Li Xiaoqi and the audience in the live broadcast room were familiar with the man.
Sakata Gintoki?
Dazai Osamu looked at the name on the screen, licked his lower lip, and had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, the administrator June spoke up, saying that he had automatically purchased special summon ticket fragments for 20,000 gold coins, and then summoned a new teammate by synthesizing the special summon ticket.
The character summoned by the special summon ticket is the one that the streamer considers the most reliable...
The words of the administrator June echoed in Dazai Osamu's mind for a long time, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
Dazai Osamu's body was stiff and his hands hung limply.
The body gradually turned gray and the soul almost emerged from the shell.
"It turns out that I'm not the most reliable man in Xiaoqi's heart..."
After a while, Dazai Osamu jumped up and opened the book with a rose pattern on the cover page one by one.
As before, there were no words.
"puppet……"
He raised the corner of his lips, and the book happened to be turned to the last page.
Dazai Osamu reached out, turned the last page, and finally closed the back cover of the book.
The back cover of the book is black, without any text or patterns.
He gently stroked the back cover and felt that the lines were uneven and had some highs and some lows.
Dazai Osamu rubbed his fingertips down little by little, closed his eyes and outlined the lines his fingers touched in his mind.
After a while, as the fingers moved, a pattern appeared in my mind.
It was the outline of a human figure, surrounded by a cage. In the center of the cage was a rectangular frame, and the outline of the frame felt like the shape of a coffin.
Dazai Osamu opened his eyes, stared at the back cover and thought for a moment, then suddenly walked to the desk and picked up the candlestick.
He came to the bed and threw the candlestick on the bed indifferently.
Phew.
The flames engulfed the sheets, emitting a burning smell.
Soon, the bed was engulfed in flames, and the blue curtains were gradually engulfed by the flames.
Miraculously, the bed curtains fell to the carpet, and the fire burning on them began to go out.
Dazai Osamu watched the bed being burned bit by bit and its shape being changed bit by bit.
The flames began to shrink, and under his gaze, the European-style bed began to turn into a white light and disappeared, and the outline of a coffin appeared from the flames.
Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
The orange-yellow flames gradually died down, and the black coffin completely appeared before their eyes.
Dazai Osamu saw the cross pattern on the coffin and quipped, "Is there a vampire in there?"
He smiled with interest, his eyes widened slightly, and a low laugh came out of his mouth.
"Haha, I'd like to see what's inside."
Dazai Osamu took a step forward, put his foot on the coffin, and pushed the lid open with both hands.
"Boom—"
With the sound of the coffin lid falling to the ground, the situation inside the coffin came into view.
Dazai Osamu opened his lips slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
It was a beautiful female doll, with soft black hair spread out, thick eyelashes curled up like feathers, and fair skin as smooth and delicate as a real person.
The doll is wearing a light yellow long skirt. The gauze on the skirt is light and ethereal, emitting a faint glow. The sleeves are petal-shaped trumpet sleeves, and there are light green ribbons wrapped around the arms.
If it weren't for the puppet joints at the wrists and knuckles that indicated this was a puppet and not a human, even Dazai Osamu would have thought it was a human body.
But what surprised Dazai Osamu was not the exquisite doll, but the doll's facial features.
His breathing matched, and his fingertips trembled.
Dazai Osamu reached out and gently stroked the doll's face, "Why is this doll exactly like Xiao Qi..."
Suddenly, the doll opened its eyes, and its lifeless eyes looked into Dazai Osamu's eyes.
Dazai Osamu was startled and subconsciously pulled his hand back.
But the next second, his hand was grabbed by the puppet, and white light enveloped them in an instant.
Dazai Osamu struggled hard to break free, but found that he couldn't get free even with all his strength.
In a white light, he opened his eyes wide and watched the doll float up, pounce in front of him and kiss his lips.
The puppet's stiff lips were devoid of any warmth and were icy cold, as if kissing a piece of wood.
Suddenly, Dazai Osamu felt his mind begin to blur and he heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
The next second, he came to his senses and immediately took a step back.
Unexpectedly, he tripped over something and fell down.
A light green ribbon passed by her eyes, and the flowing skirt spread on the coffin lid.
Dazai Osamu looked stunned, and the appearance of Elizabeth's leather suit was reflected in his eyes.
"Huh?"
He stretched out his hand, and what appeared before his eyes were not the five fingers of a human, but the distinct knuckles of a puppet.
“…”
Dazai Osamu suddenly realized something, and his hands stroked and kneaded Elizabeth's leather case. When he touched the body inside, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"My body...?"
He quickly stood up and threw himself in front of the desk, and in the process he tripped over the hem of his skirt and almost fell.
In the makeup mirror, a doll that looks just like Li Xiaoqi appears before her eyes.
"ah--!!!"
Dazai Osamu held his cheeks in disbelief and screamed.
*
[Werewolf, please open your eyes and choose the next player to die within five minutes.]
Following the words in the void, Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes and found himself standing in the center of the dance floor again.
This time, there were two more teammates who were also werewolves.
Li Xiaoqi looked up at Busei Kagawa, watched him slowly open his eyes, and then revealed an impatient look.
"How long will this game last? If I want to fight Muzan Kibutsuji, I really hope it's on the battlefield. Even if I win this game, it won't be satisfying at all."
Fuzukawa Shima spoke angrily and raised his hand to grab his hair in annoyance.
Tomioka Giyu nodded slightly, his voice low and cold, "There are many people killed by demons, as well as dead teammates, family members, and friends... This kind of death in the game is too easy for Muzan Kibutsuji and the others."
Li Xiaoqi frowned unconsciously as he listened to their words. "The loser of the game will lose their soul and abilities and become a puppet... but it doesn't explicitly say they will die."
Fuzukawa Shima sneered as if he had heard something funny: "Without ability and self-awareness, aren't you just a puppet being manipulated by others?"
"When the time comes, we'll make him unable to move. He'll probably just stand there stupidly and let us chop off his head."
He widened his smile, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, "No, just chopping off their heads would be too easy for them."
Giyu Tomioka gripped the hilt of his sword, took a deep breath, and agreed with Shimazu Fushigawa's words.
"really."
Fuzukawa Shima glanced at him and snorted, "At a time like this, I find you a little more pleasing to the eye."
Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips slightly, thinking of the mission of delivering intelligence, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Mr. Busikawa, please give me the information."
After hearing this, Fuzukawa Miya was slightly stunned and then put the information in her hand.
"What's wrong? Aren't we supposed to decide who will die next in the game?"
"That's right, but there's something I want to confirm."
Li Xiaoqi stuffed the information into Giyu Tomioka's hands, and when he saw that the system did not pop up a prompt indicating that the task was completed, he became even more confused.
Tomioka Giyuu showed a puzzled look, "What is this...?"
Fuzukawa Saneya was puzzled and said, "There's no difference between giving it to me and giving it to him, right?"
Li Xiaoqi pondered for a moment, pulled back the love letter, and nodded heavily.
"really."
As she spoke, she looked at Rengoku Kyojuro, who was sitting in front of the band in a sleeping state.
Fuzukawa Minoru and Tomioka Giyu: "......?"
