“Who are you most afraid of?”
This question is certainly not about themselves, but about the relationships behind the characters they represent.
But judging from the existing clues, it is really difficult to fill in every one of them.
Lan Shuang frowned and thought, "I'm Xiaoliu, and I'm most afraid..."
She recalled the scene of the reenactment of the past events she had accidentally walked into, and thought it might be her parents, because the series of tragedies that happened here were closely related to them.
But this is too easy. She doesn't think there will be such an easy question the next day.
After pondering for a long time, she had a flash of inspiration at the last moment and wrote the word "person".
What she saw was just the tip of the iceberg. What if the person she was truly afraid of was someone else? At the last minute, she suddenly remembered an online meme and wrote about someone. Anyway, Rose said that there would be a point deduction for wrong answers but no penalty.
Although she didn't quite believe it.
After she finished writing, she put down her pen and looked around. Jiang Lusheng had already finished answering. What he wrote was undoubtedly the music teacher.
Pei Jinzhi on the other side thought about it and wrote about his parents.
Because she had so few clues and was completely confused, I probably just wrote this answer at random.
"Five, four, three, two, one—time's up! All players, please stop writing. Now, let's reveal the answer."
In the last few seconds, everyone wrote furiously and barely finished it.
"Wow, everyone's answers are so varied. Let me see—Congratulations to player Lan Shuang for earning ten points."
Lan Shuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed in disbelief: "Huh? Right?"
Rose smiled and said, "Yes, very smart~"
"What did you write?" Pei Jinzhi was also curious.
Lan Shuang generously pushed the paper over and said, "People."
Pei Jinzhi: "..."
“I am afraid of ghosts, but they haven’t hurt me at all. I am not afraid of people, but they have hurt me all over. (1)——”
Li Weiyan spread his hands: "Did you write this answer based on this joke?"
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Combined with my experience last night, isn't it very appropriate?"
"Player Jiang Lusheng, earned ten points."
Jiang Lusheng's correct answer was not surprising. Jiang Lusheng turned around and high-fived Lan Shuang.
Zheng Mingxin looked at the two of them, an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Player Pei Jinzhi, the answer is wrong, ten points will be deducted, and the current score is minus nine."
"Player Zheng Mingxin's answer is incorrect. Ten points will be deducted. The current score is minus nine."
Lan Shuang glanced at her, and Zheng Mingxin smiled bitterly and raised her paper. She wrote "housekeeper".
Lan Shuang shook her head.
"Player Mu Tiao, the answer is correct, and he gets ten points. His current score is eleven."
"I was actually right!" Mu Tiao was also surprised, "I wrote about my parents."
Gao Yaozu became excited and said, "I also wrote about my parents, so am I right too?"
Rose immediately replied, "Unfortunately, your answer is wrong. Ten points will be deducted. Your current score is minus nine."
Gao Yaozu: “…”
"Player Wen Qingqing, the answer is correct, add ten points, current score is eleven."
"Player Li Weiyan, the answer is correct, add ten points, current score is eleven."
"Player He Ping, the answer is wrong. Ten points will be deducted. Your current score is minus eleven."
"Player Liu Quan, the answer is wrong, ten points will be deducted, and the current score is minus nine."
He Ping and Liu Quan looked at each other and said helplessly, "How would we know who we're most afraid of?"
Lan Shuang and the others didn't know either. Judging from the clues, they were the buyers and should have the upper hand. Why would they be afraid?
It was not difficult for Li Weiyan to answer correctly, but she was more surprised by Wen Qingqing.
Pei Jinzhi asked first: "Wen Qingqing, what did you write?"
Wen Qingqing whispered, "It's my brother."
Lan Shuang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Liu Quan was puzzled: "Why is it the brother? Doesn't your character like him very much?"
"You don't understand this, do you? When love is deep, it naturally creates a sense of awe. The person you love the most is the person you fear the most. What's the problem?"
Mu Tiao nodded to the side of his face and said, "However, it's impressive that you can come up with this answer."
Lan Shuang looked at Wen Qingqing and saw her blushing. She said embarrassedly, "I didn't think of that. I just thought the clues I found were only related to my brother. I was just lucky and stumbled upon this."
She smiled and said, "I'm just lucky."
He Ping took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "I'm really unlucky. I got the answer wrong for two days in a row. Luckily there's no penalty for wrong answers. Otherwise, I don't know where I'd be buried right now."
The answer sheets and pens disappeared together, and everyone leaned back in their chairs as if exhausted, their eyes unfocused.
However, at this moment, the gate of the manor suddenly opened to both sides, and the sunlight fell in, attracting everyone's attention. They all turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man and woman walking in hand in hand.
The man was wearing a black suit with a blue tie. His clothes looked expensive, but he was just like that. His eyes flashed with calculation and greed, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The woman's makeup is very heavy and delicate, but it cannot cover up the traces of time. She looks beautiful at first glance, but in fact, the more you look at her, the more she looks like a fake person.
She wore a red velvet skirt that highlighted her voluptuous figure. She leaned against the man and looked coldly at the group of people at the table. Her gaze softened as she passed by Liu Quan and He Ping. "You guys are here too."
Liu Quan and He Ping looked at each other and immediately got into character, "Yes, let's have dinner together."
"We have something to say to the children. You should go upstairs and rest first so that you can attend our dinner."
The woman covered her lips and chuckled, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
This may not sound like anything at ordinary times, but for those who know part of the truth, it is hard not to wonder what she is hinting at.
The two of them looked back at Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng. Lan Shuang nodded, and the two of them went upstairs nervously. Although they didn't want to go upstairs, they were afraid that the couple would go crazy if they stayed.
As soon as the two men left, the couple's expressions changed. The woman stood up straight, her aura fully open, and raised her chin towards the remaining eight people: "Boss, go upstairs and clean up. You will socialize with us tonight. Don't embarrass yourself."
Pei Jinzhi stood up calmly and asked, "What should I pack?"
The woman glanced at him helplessly and said, "Of course, change your clothes and style your look. And put on some perfume. We're going to introduce you to some partners tonight."
Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, "What about them?"
"They have their own tasks, you go quickly."
The man waved his hand, Pei Jinzhi gave the others a look that told them to fend for themselves, and went upstairs. The remaining seven people suddenly felt like lambs to be slaughtered.
The man stood by the table, looking down at them. His gaze finally landed on Li Weiyan and Jiang Lusheng. "Big brother and third brother, are you two ready for your performance? You won't let me down today, will you?"
Li Weiyan's eyes widened. "I'm performing too? What? A gorilla roar?"
