"Mr. Wang Hao, now it's your turn to drink the red wine."
The butler looked at the man and gave his signature smile.
But at this moment, the butler's smile seemed extremely strange in Wang Hao's eyes, just like the smile of the god of death.
"No, no...I can't drink it, this cup is poisoned, it's poisoned!"
Wang Hao showed a look of horror. He put the wine glass on the table. He looked at the wine of the person next to him and was about to reach out to grab it, hoping to drink the other person's wine.
At this time, the butler moved. He took out the black gun from his coat pocket again and aimed at Wang Hao's head.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The head of the chosen one named Wang Hao was blown to pieces, and blood and brains splattered on the butler and the other chosen ones around him.
“Ahhhh!”
Li Xin screamed in horror and hurriedly tried to wipe the blood off her face. She was very scared.
The faces of the other men around were also very pale. Although they did not scream, they were also frightened by the butler's sudden action.
This is the arbitration of the executive officer!
【5: You must strictly follow the orders of the executive officer, otherwise you will be subject to arbitration.】
The butler was the executive officer, and he asked Wang Hao to drink the red wine, which was considered as his order.
However, Wang Hao did not choose to comply, so he was directly punished by the housekeeper.
Chi Mu's stomach felt churning and he swallowed hard, trying to suppress the feeling of nausea.
At the same time, he also determined that Rule 5 was correct.
The steward did exactly what the rules said and directly arbitrated the person who violated the order.
"Okay, I have already arbitrated the person who violated the rules. Please continue our game with the remaining four gentlemen and ladies."
The butler smiled his signature smile again.
But among the eighteen people present, no one felt that this smile was very kind.
This is the smile of death!
Next it was Li Xin's turn to drink. She reached out to take her red wine, but when she lowered her head she accidentally glanced at Wang Hao's body on the table. She was so frightened that she almost dropped the wine in her hand to the ground.
"Ms. Li Xin, please hold on to your wine. If you spill it, it will be considered a violation of orders and I will referee it."
The housekeeper reminded.
Li Xin's expression changed slightly: "I know."
After saying that, Li Xin picked up the goblet, placed it in front of her red lips, and drank the red wine in the glass in one breath.
“10, 9, 8….”
The housekeeper started counting down again, but this countdown made Li Xin feel much more at ease.
Because this round of the game was basically over, everyone knew that Wang Hao's glass of red wine was the one that was poisoned.
The last three people then quickly drank their red wine and sat in their seats safely.
After everyone finished drinking the red wine, the butler showed a relieved smile on his face.
He bowed to the crowd and raised his voice, saying, "I declare that the first round of the ghost story game 'Deadly Red Wine' is over, and two Chosen Ones died in this round.
Their combined 6 free points will be added to the prize pool, 2 of which will be given as rewards to the winner of this round of games.”
After the butler finished speaking, he took out a wooden box about the size of a watermelon from under the round table.
The wooden box looked very old and had an iron lock on it. The butler took out the key from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a pile of things that looked like gold coins.
"This is the free point entity. Next, I will distribute the first three free points to everyone. Mr. Chen Ye, who won the 'Fatal Red Wine', will receive five free points."
After that, the butler began to distribute free points to each person in turn.
After the man named Chen Ye got the free point, his eyes were full of joy.
He was the last one to choose red wine passively, and he didn't expect that he would become the lucky one to get free points.
"Hahahaha, now I only have 15 free points left and I can regain my status as the Chosen One of Freedom!"
No one else looked at him. Except for Chen Ye who spoke, everyone was silent.
The atmosphere here is so depressing. Two chosen ones have already died in just one round of the ghost story game.
Moreover, each of their deaths was more tragic than the last. Chi Mu could foresee that the next ghost story game would be even more terrifying than this one.
After the butler distributed all the free points, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I would like to remind everyone that although the rules do not explicitly mention that you are not allowed to snatch other people's free points.
But if you have this thought, I advise you to give it up immediately. Because once you become the one who snatches the free points, you will be attacked by everyone, and everyone will be afraid of such a person.
After all, no one can be sure whether they will be the next one to be robbed of their free points. "
After saying this, the butler fell silent again.
Every time he made an announcement, he would give Chi Mu and others time to think and react.
After hearing what the housekeeper said, Chi Mu quickly fell into deep thought.
In fact, the housekeeper didn't need to tell them this. After all, anyone with normal thinking could think of this situation quickly.
Besides, everyone here is talented.
In this case, why would the butler take the initiative to say this?
Did the butler do it unintentionally or on purpose?
After thinking for a moment, Chi Mu felt that the butler probably did it on purpose because he had no reason to remind them.
Because the ultimate goal of the butler is to quickly eliminate seventeen people and finally allow only three chosen ones to pass.
So by saying this, maybe those who are slow to react will get feedback.
Well, there must be a reason why the butler said this deliberately.
"hiss......"
Chi Mu took a breath of cold air and suddenly looked up at everyone.
He understood that the butler's words were most likely not meant for ordinary Chosen Ones, but for that special Chosen One.
It indicated that he should not snatch other people's free points openly, but at least snatch them covertly.
[1: Each Chosen One has 3 points at the beginning. Please keep your points safe.]
[2: It is forbidden to kill other Chosen Ones in public, otherwise you will be arbitrated by the Executive Officer.]
The first rule is that there is no reason to be wrong.
But if the special chosen one obtains free points by stealing other people's free points, then the authenticity of the second rule can be confirmed.
"It seems that when you are alone in a place, you have to be careful of everyone..."
Chi Mu secretly made up his mind that if he could avoid traveling alone, he would never do so, and would at least stay with two or more people.
This will greatly reduce the risk of having your freedom taken away.
"The first round of the game is over. I think it's time for everyone to take a break. Next, I will take you to your rooms..."
