"Bang!"
The voice rang out again, clearly carrying a sense of urgency.
No one knows how Qin Linlin managed to do it, but after each sound, powder would fall from the ceiling, as if someone was actually pounding on the floor.
While marveling at how realistic Qin Linlin's performance was this time, Yin Chengjue secretly handed the "Spear of Truth" to Lei Miao.
Just now, while inside the elevator, Yin Chengjue had already chosen his murderer and pressed the switch for the "Gun of Truth," silently spraying the paint from the "Gun of Truth" onto Xiao Xiao's body.
In fact, Yin Chengjue did not find any evidence that Xiao Xiao was the real culprit. He only realized that Xiao Xiao might be lying because when Xiao Xiao pointed out that Rong Yu was the undercover agent in the treasure hunt, Rong Yu did not give a definite answer.
Before this, Yin Chengjue could have suspected that Xiao Xiao was either an undercover agent or the murderer. But now that everyone has chosen to expose themselves, the only person left who can lie besides the undercover agent is the real murderer!
Yin Chengjue shared his thoughts with Lei Miao, who agreed with them.
However, just as Lei Miao secretly aimed the water gun at Xiao Xiao, preparing to finish her off with one shot, Xiao Xiao seemed to have eyes in the back of her head and dodged to the side!
The water gun missed its target. Lei Miao was stunned for a moment, but Xiao Xiao smiled.
Their eyes met, and Lei Miao's smile, which had been on his face as if he were about to win, faded. On the contrary, Xiao Xiao's expression seemed even better.
At that moment, Lei Miao realized something.
This time, the detective's vote to find the real culprit isn't just about choosing someone; it also involves spraying paint from water guns onto the culprit.
If they accidentally spray the wrong thing, or the water gun runs out of water, then... does that mean the detectives can only choose the murderer from the person who was sprayed with paint?
Lei Miao compared his own physique with Xiao Xiao's and, for the first time in his life, reflected on how much of a homebody he had become over the years. If only he had exercised properly instead of spending all his time figuring out how to unlock the "little black room" and then secretly playing games, he wouldn't be in this situation today.
Realizing that he wouldn't be breaking the rules even if he dodged the detectives' water gun sniping, Xiao Xiao's expression relaxed considerably. He even provocatively beckoned to Lei Miao, clearly not believing that Lei Miao could hit him.
Lei Miao was successfully provoked by Xiao Xiao's expression, and a tug-of-war of chasing and running began between them.
When the players on the treasure hunt route saw Lei Miao chasing Xiao Xiao, they naturally wouldn't let Xiao Xiao succeed, so they quickly came to help.
Seeing Qin Ke standing in front of Xiao Xiao, Lei Miao couldn't help but say, "He's the real culprit! Don't protect him!"
Qin Ke: "If he is the real culprit, then I must protect him even more, because if you vote out the real culprit, then we have failed!"
Lei Miao: "..." Damn it! I almost forgot about this damn game rule!
"Hehe, that's right, so you can't arrest me until my teammates win!" Xiao Xiao laughed.
Yin Chengjue: "But don't forget, once the real culprit escapes, the game will activate a special mode. The detective storyline will be eliminated, and the culprit will directly compete with the players on the escape and treasure hunt storylines. The culprit's way to win is to obtain the treasure that the treasure hunt storyline is looking for and escape from here."
If the murderer successfully escapes, both the escape route and the treasure hunt route will be deemed a failure.
Qin Ke replied, "If you choose him now, we've already lost. If you don't choose him, we can buy ourselves some time!"
“That’s right. After all, I’ll be facing six opponents at once, and my chances of winning are very low.” Not only did Xiao Xiao hide behind Qin Ke, but she also called out to the other two players on the other mission lines, “Come on, come and protect me! If you protect me well, you can eliminate the detective line. Isn’t that a great deal!”
“Well, although I really don’t want to do this, under the rules, what you’re saying is indeed not wrong…” Wei Shu couldn’t help but say.
So the others also stopped searching for clues in the room and came over to stand in front of Xiao Xiao.
A group chase has officially begun.
Yang Ji: "Does this game have to be played this way?"
Liu Qingling exclaimed, "What do you know? This is called a sense of ritual!" With that, Liu Qingling picked up a piece of paper, rolled it up, and faced the camera, "The next program we're broadcasting live is an upgraded version of 'Eagle Catches Chicks'—An eagle catches a group of chicks being protected by a mother hen!"
After the recording of this final episode of "Don't Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark" was completed, it was already afternoon. The group of people were exhausted from playing, and the NPCs were also exhausted.
Finally, Hua Yun hosted a dinner for the entire crew at a five-star hotel owned by Hua's Group, which was met with cheers.
It just so happened that there was a sauna owned by the Yin family next to the hotel, which also offered massage and foot massage. Yin Chengjue then informed the crew that the sauna would be free for all members of the film crew tonight.
Because this is the last episode of the first season of Darkness, and no one knows when the next episode will be held, or whether all the guests will be able to attend, everyone cherishes this gathering.
The party lasted all night, and both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.
Yin Chengjue helped the drunk Rong Yu up from under the table, led her out of the private room, into the private elevator, and to the presidential suite on the top floor that had been reserved in advance.
There is also a large balcony on the top floor, with a heated pool decorated with artificial mountains and plants, which looks quite natural. The temperature in the heated pool is just right.
Yin Chengjue also drank alcohol, but he was not easily intoxicated, so it was those who had persuaded him to drink who got drunk.
On the contrary, Rong Yu is truly a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, and the problem is that after Rong Yu gets drunk, she can still stand up and continue drinking until she can no longer stand up.
No amount of persuasion could dissuade him.
After drinking to a certain extent, Rong Yu started calling Yin Chengjue's name, then searched the entire private room, even lifting the lid of the trash can and asking Yin Chengjue if he was in there.
This left Yin Chengjue, who was standing to the side, both amused and exasperated.
Fortunately, everyone in the private room was drunk at the time, otherwise I don't know how to explain this situation.
Yin Chengjue carried Rong Yu to the bathroom to wash him clean. The hangover soup he ordered was delivered just in time. After coaxing Rong Yu to drink it, Yin Chengjue carried him to the warm pool and let him soak comfortably.
Amidst the shimmering water, Rong Yu, who had recovered somewhat, looked around in a daze: "Where am I?"
Yin Chengjue hugged him from behind, resting his chin on Rong Yu's shoulder and gently nuzzling Rong Yu's chin with his nose: "In my arms."
"elder brother?"
Am I dreaming?
"Why would you think that?" Yin Chengjue kissed Rong Yu's chin.
Rong Yu: "Yeah, it feels a bit unreal. My brother is actually right here beside me." Rong Yu groped with both hands and grabbed Yin Chengjue's hand, her fingertips weaving between Yin Chengjue's fingers, holding it tightly.
"You saying that makes me a little sad." Yin Chengjue squeezed Rong Yu's fingertips. "I've been providing you with food, lodging, washing, massages, and bed warming every day, and you still doubt whether I'm really by your side."
“That’s not what I meant…” Rong Yu turned to meet Yin Chengjue’s eyes: “Brother, I’m a very greedy person. Once I get what I want, I won’t let go. If one day you get tired of it, annoyed, and want to leave, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist doing something terrible to you.”
Yin Chengjue smiled and said in a low voice, "Then you'll have to wait a long time. Maybe we'll be old and gray and unable to walk, and I still won't have that thought."
"Smooth-talking." Rong Yu raised her hand and pinched Yin Chengjue's lips.
Yin Chengjue slightly opened his mouth and took Rong Yu's pink fingers, which had been soaked in warm water, into his mouth.
Rong Yu turned over in Yin Chengjue's arms, the movement creating splashes of water, and glistening water droplets slid down Rong Yu's rosy skin.
Rong Yu placed her hands on Yin Chengjue's broad shoulders and leaned in to kiss his Adam's apple.
"Brother, let me give you a good massage today," Rong Yu said with a low laugh, his voice full of temptation.
Yin Chengjue felt a tingling sensation run through his body from that voice, his throat dry and tight. "When did you master the art of massage? Is your technique any good?"
"Whether my massage skills are good or not, brother, you'll know once you experience it for yourself, won't you?" Rong Yu said with a smile.
Yin Chengjue leaned back, resting his arms on the edge of the hot spring, and said in a seemingly lazy and casual manner, "Then I'm going to enjoy myself properly, Xiaoyu, but I'm very strict."
"Of course I won't let my brother down."
That night, Yin Chengjue enjoyed meticulous and thoughtful service.
Although the massage therapist had just learned the techniques online and her skills were still a bit raw, they were more than enough for Yin Chengjue.
Rong Yu lacked practical experience and used too much force in some places. As a result, after massaging Yin Chengjue, he was also exhausted, panting, with a sore back, weak limbs, and no strength to even stand up from the hot pool.
In the end, Yin Chengjue carried the novice technician out of the hot spring, washed and dried her, and carefully placed her on the soft bed.
Yin Chengjue then lay down next to his little technician and breathed into her ear: "Xiaoyu's skills are really good. I fell in love with this feeling immediately. Please show me more of this skill in the future."
"Get out!" The exhausted technician immediately changed his attitude, no longer as eager as before to let Yin Chengjue experience his newly learned skills.
Yin Chengjue's tone was somewhat aggrieved: "You're just using me and then throwing me away?"
Rong Yu: "...I told you to leave everything to me, but you kept fiddling around! And you never stop! Do you know that your behavior is a provocation against my skills!"
Yin Chengjue quickly rubbed his head to comfort him: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will definitely cooperate fully next time. I will do whatever you say and I will never act on my own!"
Rong Yu's expression softened a little: "Really?"
"real!"
