The door was just closed, but no one else was seen.

It felt like the door was blown by the wind, but this was home, where did the wind come from? At this time, a figure slowly stood up from behind Lin Mo.

Silent, like a ghost.

Lin Mo didn't turn around, but at this moment, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, he spoke: "Sister, you are really naughty, but naughty is naughty, but you should knock before entering my room, otherwise, I will be angry."

The other person's hand stopped about two inches behind Lin Mo's neck.

It seemed that he originally wanted to strangle Lin Mo to death.

But what Lin Mo said gave the other party a reminder.

In this house, you can't attack your family.

Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules.

Lin Mo didn't even look back. He put his hands in his pockets, walked leisurely to the sofa, turned around and sat down, crossing his legs again.

The younger sister over there was hunching over her body, keeping her hand outstretched, looking very unwilling.

"I'm going to vote you out because you're the ghost."

My sister said this viciously.

The next moment, the other party jumped up, crawled from the ceiling to the door like a spider, and rushed out in an instant. The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limit of human eye capture. Even if you stare at the other party, it is difficult to see the other party's movements.

"Superhuman speed." Lin Mo praised. It can be said that the other party is the fastest nightmare he has ever seen.

However, Lin Mo felt that the other party's acting skills needed to be improved.

My sister's real purpose in coming here was not to kill me, but because of the last words she said.

She wanted to vote Lin Mo out because she thought Lin Mo was the ghost.

It sounds like a harsh remark, but there may be another meaning hidden in it.

That was to show that she herself was not a ghost.

In other words, she was using this seemingly brainless threat to reveal her identity. Of course, it is also possible that Lin Mo was overthinking it. She was just being straightforward and was really threatening him. She also really intended to vote for Lin Mo.

Obviously, the next voting session is very important. Mom and sister have already come, and the ultimate goal is to vote.

Will 'Dad' come next? Lin Mo is looking forward to it.

After my sister left, the house lost the faint scent of wood.

The reason why Lin Mo was able to immediately detect that it was his sister who came in was because of this smell. His sense of smell was relatively good, and the abilities attached to the gluttony curse and the vampire curse allowed him to clearly remember the smells of the other three family members.

If a family member came in quietly, Lin Mo would be able to detect and identify it immediately.

Lin Mo spent the next moment waiting, and he did not waste time, but kept thinking. Time passed quickly, and his father did not come in until two hours later, when his mother knocked on the door and asked him to go to a family event.

…

The living room is where family activities take place.

Lin Mo was the last to arrive.

Dad was sitting on the sofa in the living room, tapping the armrest with his thick fingers in annoyance, as if he was very anxious. In his other hand, he held a bottle of wine, which he would occasionally put from under the paper bag, tilt his head back, and gulp down.

So my father always smells of alcohol.

Even when I'm not drinking, I can smell it.

My sister is lively and active. She never sits quietly in one place. She either squats on the TV or hangs upside down on the ceiling, like a female Spider-Man in a paper bag.

Relatively speaking, my mother is much more elegant.

Sitting on a chair, she is dignified and steady, yet still retains the gentleness and charm of a feminine woman.

"Sit down."

Among the three family members, only Mom and Lin Mo talked.

Next to it, there is a small bench, which is prepared for my "brother".

Lin Mo walked over and sat on it.

Now the family of four is together.

"Honey, the kids are here, so don't drink anymore." Mom said gently to Dad, but Dad said angrily, "You damn bitch, you have no right to control whether I drink or not. No one can control me, and no one can restrain me. Whoever wants to scheme against me, I will smash them to pieces. I will tear their bones one by one and stick them into their eyes, damn bastard."

Pointless verbal abuse and venting.

It was as if there was endless anger in my father's body that needed to be vented, and it seemed that he simply didn't know how to communicate with others normally.

But obviously, my mother and sister have become accustomed to it.

The younger sister will keep a safe distance from the father, which is just enough for her to react and dodge. In all likelihood, the younger sister is on guard against the father.

And mom is very close to dad.

This shows that mom is not afraid of dad, which can be seen from the tone of her voice.

"What else can you do besides swearing and venting?" There was also a hint of dissatisfaction in the mother's tone.

"What else can I do? Humph, you will know, all of you will know." Dad said gritting his teeth, and then took another sip of wine.

"Well, you are not a good father, nor a good role model. Children, you must not learn from him, or you will be disliked by others." Mom said to Lin Mo and her sister.

"Shut up, stop wasting time, and start voting. But in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether to vote or not. It's just dying again, but no matter how many times you die, you can't escape from this damn place." Dad was still venting at this time, but Lin Mo saw a trace of fear and unwillingness in his tone and actions.

It seems that my previous speculation was reasonable.

This family of four was forcibly pulled together by some force to form a strange family, and they need to find a "ghost" among the four family members.

If you can't find it, you will die.

Judging from the information currently available, death is not an end, but a new beginning.

"It's a pity that you're lost." Mom said something meaningful at this time, and she took out a strange four-sided pottery jar from the cabinet over there.

This jar has four sides, and there is a ghost face on each side, which is hideous and terrifying. There is a hole on the top of the jar, as if something can be thrown into it.

"Then let's get started."

Mom said at this time: "We are going to play a game today. Suppose one of the four of us is a ghost. After a day of getting along with each other, we need to choose that ghost based on our own observation and judgment. Dad, mom, brother, sister, choose based on your own judgment and put the written notes into this jar. We will get the result in the end."

Mom handed me three slips of paper, and then I divided the papers and started writing.

My sister and dad wrote the fastest

It seemed that they had not given it any thought, or perhaps they already had the corresponding candidate in their minds.

Mom didn't write immediately, but waited.

Lin Mo guessed that his mother was waiting for him to make a choice.

Since it is a vote, the final result will naturally depend on the number of votes. Theoretically, if the same person gets three votes, he will be 100% selected.

As for four votes, it is impossible because the 'ghost' will not vote for himself.

If there are two votes, it depends on who the other two votes are for. If they are for the same person, then it is a tie.

A draw means there is no winner.

There are no winners, just losers.

In theory, this is very easy to play, just as Lin Mo analyzed before, even if you use the dumbest method and have the worst luck, you only need to play four times to choose the real "ghost".

Mom had come to Lin Mo before and asked Lin Mo to vote for Dad.

So in that case, mom will definitely vote for dad.

The sister might have voted for Lin Mo himself, or it might have been someone else.

As for Dad, no one can guess what he is thinking.

Dad might vote for any of them.

There is no way to predict this.

Lin Mo thought, if he voted for his father, plus his mother's vote before, that would be two votes for sure. In this way, the chances of defining his father as a ghost would be very high.

But there are other possibilities.

For example, my mother is actually the "ghost". She wanted to protect me, so she specifically came to me and said that she wanted to vote for my father together to confuse me.

So when it comes to how to choose, Lin Mo feels that he cannot be influenced by others, he needs to make his own judgment.

The only thing Lin Mo can be sure of right now is that he is not a "ghost".

Then, the ghost must be among the other three people.

Judging from their previous reactions, Lin Mo held the pen and didn't know who to write about.

Because in his opinion, each of the other three people was a suspect.

Each one of them could be that 'ghost'.

After all, there is no direct evidence, not even indirect evidence.

Just at this moment, Lin Mo heard a strange noise. He turned around and was surprised to find that the corridor over there had disappeared.

Fallen into darkness.

It was like being swallowed by darkness.

It's not just the corridor over there, many things around are the same. Darkness is invading from all directions, constantly approaching them.

But my parents and sister acted as if they were used to it.

It seems like he is no longer surprised by such things.

Dad and sister didn't say anything, so mom reminded them: "You must vote before the darkness approaches completely, otherwise, it will be considered as abstention."

There is also a time limit.

Lin Mo immediately mobilized his brain. He carefully considered the actions of the other three people, trying to find flaws in them, but obviously, this was very difficult.

Because everyone is acting, and everyone knows that everyone else is acting, everyone is suspicious of each other and wary of each other. In this situation, even if there are many unusual behaviors, nothing can be learned from them.

After all, it's hard to tell whether this is a true expression of emotion or just an act for you.

The darkness around was approaching quickly.

Dad and sister's notes had already been thrown into the four-sided pottery jar. Mom had finished writing and threw hers in as well.

Only Lin Mo is left.

The darkness approached very quickly, and in less than a minute, it had almost swallowed up the surroundings, leaving only a small area where the four of them were.

And this small area will most likely be swallowed up within a minute . "Waste, idiot, the result will be the same no matter what you write, coward, just write whatever you want, and then accept death calmly." Dad said at this time, then drank the wine in one gulp, crushed the bottle to pieces, then stood up and walked into the darkness.

The younger sister said, "Brother, write about yourself, so that we can be relieved sooner."

After saying this, she let out a strange laugh.

"Carol, don't bother your brother. It's you who never listen to your mother. If you were obedient, this matter would have ended long ago."

"Mom, your judgment is wrong. Besides, how do you know I haven't heard you? Maybe I have heard you before, but the result is still the same."

"That's enough. I said, stop bothering your brother. He has to make his own decision." Mom's voice sounded a little angry.

At this time, the darkness was getting closer.

Lin Mo still had no clue.

It was the first time he encountered such a situation. Time was running out and he couldn't find the key point because his father, mother and sister were all suspicious, but none of them was an overwhelming suspicion.

There was no other way, Lin Mo could only write the word "Dad" on the paper at the last moment.

Since I have no idea at all, I can only use the dumbest method, the process of elimination.

Mom said she would write about Dad, so Lin Mo also wrote about him. In this case, assuming that his sister wrote about herself, Dad would win by two votes this time.

If he is a ghost, game over.

If not, then we can know that the ghost is among the other two people, mother and sister.

Next time, find a way to form an alliance with Dad.

The moment the note was thrown into the pottery jar, the surrounding darkness surged in like a tide, completely engulfing the small area of ​​light.

Almost at the same time, Lin Mo felt a sharp pain.

The body seemed to be splitting apart.

The pain was like death.

No.

Not like, exactly like death.

Although Lin Mo had never actually experienced death, he was sure that no one could survive such pain.

After the severe pain, there was a period of trance.

The next moment, Lin Mo found himself still sitting in his brother's room.

It was still the same sofa, and the same room full of broken TVs. The black and white TV in front was still playing unclear, flickering cartoons.

Lin Mo was stunned. He discovered a very serious problem.

Regarding the vote on the last family activity, he only remembered that he participated, but he forgot who wrote it.

I can't remember it no matter how hard I try.

"No, it's not that I forgot, it's that the memory is gone." Lin Mo reacted.

In an instant, the question that he had been unable to figure out before was immediately answered.

Why didn't the family of four use the process of elimination to find the 'ghost' hidden among them? Because they couldn't do it.

Because the memory of every vote has been erased.

I can't even remember who I voted for last time.

How to do this by elimination.

Because in this way, it is possible that the same person is voted for several times in a row.

"Wait a minute, does this count as restarting the game? Doesn't that mean I was already dead just now?" Lin Mo suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
