Chapter 123: Old Mother's Mentality
Everyone's acting was really good. After hearing Lin Xi's words, no one reacted. Lawyer Qin just nodded. Then, she brought up the next topic:
"Actually, the most important thing right now is really important. I don't know if you've noticed, but it's the time difference." Lawyer Qin began his analysis: "The voting time is midnight, but the game didn't start last night, but this morning. There are no dead players, but we have to hold the first vote at midnight tonight."
——Oh, yes.
Lin Xi sighed. If Lawyer Qin's words were true, the first round of voting would begin tonight. Without the werewolf killing anyone, the chances of finding it and voting for it were very low.
Most importantly, no one knew how many wolves were there. Lin Xi also had to be cautious because she was the only living person here.
Living people are known to be very beneficial, and with a circle of ghosts surrounding them, Lin Xi was already in danger. It was unclear whether these guys would exclude dissidents in the first round and eject Lin Xi, a human unlike them.
Lin Xi certainly didn't want to be voted out, so he had to actively canvass for votes. But canvassing for votes now is quite dangerous, or any outstanding behavior now is dangerous, and it is best not to leave an impression on others at this time. If nothing unexpected happens, the middle-aged woman who has been crying and the gangster may be the ones who are voted out.
Lawyer Qin kept controlling the topic, which made some people feel dissatisfied. Among the men on the opposite side, a gloomy-looking man suddenly said, "Lawyer Qin, you talk so much and are so proactive. How can we know whether you are a traitor or not?"
Barbed wolf is really a more professional term. If Lin Xi hadn't played board games and werewolf with Shen Sangning, she really wouldn't understand this term. The middle-aged woman was also confused after hearing it. She asked the beautiful woman next to her who just introduced herself as a model: "What does Barbed Wolf mean?"
The model had obviously played it before, and she knew what Barbed Wolf meant, so she explained it to the middle-aged woman: "Even though they're on the bad side, they'll proactively speak up and disguise themselves as the good guys, leading the good guys' pace and making everyone listen to them. This way, they can eliminate the possibility of being voted out, and they can also keep the right to speak."
"That's too bad!"
It is clearly just the most basic gameplay in Werewolf, but in the mouth of the middle-aged woman, it seems like an unforgivable and despicable villain.
Lawyer Qin's expression changed
Nothing has changed: "If you think I'm a treacherous wolf, I can withdraw, but you showing up to question me at this time makes it hard for me not to suspect that you are some kind of tough wolf."
"What is a tough wolf?"
The model continued to explain: "It is a bad guy, but it stands up and fights directly, showing strong aggression." She glanced at Lawyer Qin and explained: "The swashbuckling wolf often cooperates with the hook wolf. The two will appear together and completely lead the good camp."
After hearing what the model said, the middle-aged woman looked at Lawyer Qin with less trust than before.
For a moment, the scene fell silent. Lin Xi's hand was hidden under the table, entwining with Shen Sangning's outstretched hand in the shadows.
Except for Lin Xi, everyone was silent. Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning played for a while, and she saw that the time was almost up, but she still felt that she couldn't let herself down, so she stood up. Her sudden action scared everyone, and they didn't quite understand what she was doing.
"Ms. Lin, what do you want to do?"
Lin Xi replied: "It's time. I'll make myself something to eat, otherwise I'll be hungry soon."
Lin Xi's words reminded the other ten people that they were pretending to be alive, so how could they not eat at mealtime! The gloomy man said, "Miss Lin is in a really good mood. She's still thinking about eating at this time."
There seem to be quite a few gloomy characters in the world of Rule Ghost, probably because there are so many ghosts. However, there are still differences between Lin Lin and Lin Lin. Lin Lin is a person who keeps her mouth shut, while the gloomy man opposite is articulate, though a bit too sharp-tongued. Speaking of sharp-tongued, Lin Xi is not one to say nice things either.
She immediately retorted, "If you don't eat now, when will you eat? You don't know what will kill you. If you don't eat something, you'll be dead. You might not be able to eat tomorrow. You don't care at all whether you can eat a bite tomorrow. Are you really a coward?"
"you?!"
Lin Xi's sharp tongue was obviously better than the gloomy man's. Lin Xi snorted and turned to go into the kitchen. There were unprocessed raw meat dishes in the refrigerator. Lin Xi took out two steaks and some vegetables, cleaned them up and started cooking. She planned to make braised steaks, which she was quite good at.
The first time I made it, I had no experience and didn’t know to use the back of a knife to break up the tendons of the steak, so it tasted weird. Now Lin Xi is an experienced hand, and she quickly broke it up, coated it with flour, and marinated it. Then, while waiting for the marinating process, she washed the rice, cooked the food, and cleaned the vegetables.
Lin Xi was very quick and finished cooking one meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a tomato and egg soup in 40 minutes. After she finished, she scooped two bowls of rice from the rice cooker and found a tray to carry them out.
The gloomy man saw it again and sneered on the spot: "Who are you going to feed this little?"
"Give it to me. You don't think that the two bowls of rice I prepared include yours, do you? How can you be so shameless?" Lin Xi did not hesitate for even a second. Her little mouth was like a mechanical warehouse, spurting out food. After scolding the gloomy man, she walked out with the food in her hand, as if she was going to leave the restaurant.
She completely forgot about the idea of keeping a low profile.
Her wife was backing her up, not letting her suffer here. She was so angry, she was going to tell that gloomy man off tonight!
Lin Xi was about to leave when Lawyer Qin stopped her, "Where are you going?" Lin Xi replied, "Back to my room. We can't really get anywhere sitting here anyway, so we might as well go back to our room and eat. Otherwise, I'm going to eat in front of everyone? I don't want to."
Lin Xi carried the steaming hot dish she had just made. Instead of glaring at them, she decided to go back to her room and make out with Shen Sangning. Hearing Lin Xi's words, Lawyer Qin was stunned for a moment, but she also felt that Lin Xi had a point. Lawyer Qin turned and went into the kitchen to prepare something for herself.
Since no one was stopping him, Lin Xi went straight back to the room. This room was designed like a hotel, with a card slot inside for incoming calls and a code door outside that required a card to enter.
Shen Sangning stretched out her hand to help Lin Xi hold the tray. After Lin Xi swiped the card to open the door, she entered the room and kicked the door shut. She put the card into the card slot and waited for the call, then took Shen Sangning to the small dining table and had lunch with Shen Sangning. The two of them always ate cleanly, but Lin Xi didn't want to go down to wash the dishes now, and when she thought that others would use dishes and chopsticks, she thought about not changing this set of dishes and chopsticks.
She took it directly to the bathroom, flushed the leftovers down the toilet, and then washed the dishes with hot water.
This is definitely not as clean as washing it directly with detergent, but what if she washes it downstairs and puts it in the kitchen, what if someone else uses it first at night! She doesn't want to share dishes with ghosts! To be honest, Lin Lin's dishes are all prepared by Lin Xi separately, and they are not to be mixed.
While flushing in the bathroom, she said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Don't follow my example. Don't pour leftovers into the toilet, and don't flush directly in the bathroom. This may clog the sewer. The reason I do this is that this is not the real world, but a supernatural world with strange rules. Everything has its priorities. Now it is obviously more important to keep a set of clean tableware that only you use!"
Shen Sangning squatted at the bathroom door, propped up her head and looked up at Lin Xi: "Wife, you talk a lot."
"We can't lead the children astray!"
After washing the dishes, Lin Xi wiped them again with a napkin before she felt relieved. She and Shen Sang Ning stayed in the room all night, and someone knocked on her door. Lin Xi locked the door with a chain and looked at Lawyer Qin across the street, asking her what was going on.
It was not easy to discuss through the chain, but Lawyer Qin did not care and said directly: "I want to form an alliance. We are only five girls, which is less than the boys. And I can see that you also hate the men over there, especially that little gangster and the poisonous guy. If we form a female alliance, we can kick the guys you hate out tonight."
Lin Xi laughed: "Don't say 'the guys I hate', you make it sound like I want them to die." Although in fact Lin Xi really wanted them to die.
"Lawyer Qin, it's a bit strange that you did this. You are so rational, why would you say such a thing?"
Seeing that Lin Xi was unmoved, Lawyer Qin could only say, "Lin Xi, you have to remember that we are all girls and we are in the same camp. You must never trust those men and listen to them and vote for our side." After saying this, Lawyer Qin left.
Lin Xi closed the door and returned to the room. What Lawyer Qin said was actually a good thing for her. If five people voted for one of the men, then at least she would not be voted out in this round. Lin Xi pulled open the quilt and lay on the bed. Shen Sang Ning came over and hugged Lin Xi.
She suggested, "Wife, I'll go eat them all."
Lin Xi touched Shen Sangning's hair: "Ningning, it's not the time yet. But don't worry, you will definitely not be hungry. Tonight, I will find a way to let you eat one."
Shen Sangning shook her head: "I'm not that hungry, I just ate 300,000! I'm not hungry!"
Lin Xi disagreed: "You have to eat on time every day, even if you are not hungry, you have to eat a little." Lin Xi felt that she had become a bit of an old mother in front of Shen Sang Ning recently. She couldn't help but shudder. It was all Lin Lin's fault! If she hadn't been her daughter in the previous dungeon, would she have such an old mother's mentality!
