Chapter 17 The Guide 17



【The three-headed dog baby was very angry and decided to complain to his father. 】

The system kindly repeated it twice.

Wen Qing was confused.

Three-headed dog...baby?

That two-meter-tall three-headed dog is a baby?

You even reported it to your parents?

Could its parents be a five-headed dog or an eight-headed dog?

Wen Qing was daydreaming when he suddenly heard a series of low growls coming from outside the door.

It was very close, the three-headed dog seemed to be just outside the door.

Wen Qing shuddered with fear, fearing that it would break in through the door.

Soon, the growl became lighter and disappeared.

The system spoke again: [Please note, players, the three-headed dog father has received the message. ]

Wen Qing waited for a long time, but nothing happened after he reported the case. He was so nervous that his heart beat faster.

He looked at the others and said stutteringly, "Yes, I voted for the three-headed dog."

"sorry……"

He really doubted the three-headed dog...

Wen Qing was so anxious that he was about to cry. He began to have wild thoughts. The three-headed dog baby shook hands and left, but the same could not be said for the three-headed dog father.

Even if the system provides a solution at that time, they may not be able to solve the puzzle successfully.

Maybe someone will be eaten or bitten to death again...

The more Wen Qing thought about it, the more frightened he became. His face turned pale and his nose felt sore.

Seeing this, Ji Yu, who was sitting opposite him, comforted him in a gentle voice: "Wen Qing, don't think too much. Since the system didn't say anything about what will happen after you file a complaint, nothing should happen for the time being."

"Before releasing the three dogs last time, he clearly notified the specific time."

Wen Qing nodded slowly.

What Teacher Ji said made sense, but he really couldn't come here with peace of mind. It felt like there was a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.

Whatever he was thinking was reflected on his face, and others could see it clearly. Ji Yu added, "Perhaps that parent is very sensible and would not do anything, so the system did not say the rest."

Wen Qing was stunned: "Ah?"

Is the three-headed dog sensible?

On second thought, if the three-headed dog baby can complain, it seems possible that the three-headed dog father will be sensible?

Yu Xing saw Wen Qing nodding in a daze, and it seemed that he really believed Ji Yu's words, so he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

He tapped the table and said casually, "It's possible that the so-called parent is busy doing something unspeakable."

Ji Yu glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "It seems that Yu Xing knows a little about the parents of the three-headed dog baby."

Yu Xing's face darkened.

Wen Qing looked at them in confusion and began to recall the mythological storybook he had read last time, wondering if he had missed something about the three-headed dog father.

Suddenly, he felt a familiar cold gaze.

Wen Qing tilted his head, and Li Siwen stared at him expressionlessly.

He pursed his lips. Chen Yiyi was dead, and Li Siwen's malice returned to him again.

After a moment, the system said: [Error in this round of voting, error in this round of voting, unable to find the guide. ]

【Now provide clues. 】

[Each of the three players of the God card has one chance to ask a question. ]

The sound of the system attracted Li Siwen's attention. She rolled her eyes and looked straight into the air.

Ji Yu spoke first: "What do you want to ask?"

Wen Qing raised his eyes, met Ji Yu's eyes, and shook his head silently.

He didn't know what to ask.

Ji Yu waited for a while, but still no one spoke.

"If you don't have any suggestions, I'll just ask."

"System, is the guide one of the God Card players?"

【no. 】

Ji Yu's eyes swept over Zhou Zhou calmly, and he said calmly: "We can first rule out the person who took the god card."

Wen Qing responded softly.

This is fine, he thought.

The system's answer should be able to dispel Zhou Zhou's doubts and make him more sober.

Wen Qing looked at Zhou Zhou, who had his eyes downcast, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

Yu Xing on the side suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

After everyone's eyes were focused on him, he held his chin, stared at Wen Qing, and said in an intimate tone: "Well... then I'll help our little idiot."

Wen Qing was stunned.

Zhou Zhou raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Xing coldly.

Yu Xing asked casually: "System, is the guide a player of this game?"

【yes. 】

Yu Xing whistled and winked at Wen Qing: "Did you hear me? Don't vote for non-players anymore."

Wen Qing lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize to me," Yu Xing curved his lips and said slowly, "I just don't want to see you scare yourself after you vote. It's so pitiful."

“It hurts me to see that.”

Wen Qing knew that Yu Xing was talking nonsense again, so he lowered his head and ignored him.

Seeing this, Yu Xing curved his eyebrows, tilted his head to look at Zhou Zhou, and raised his eyebrows.

Yu Xing was provoking him...

Zhou Zhou's expression changed and he looked at him grimly.

"There is one last question." Sikong said.

Li Siwen knocked on the table and said hoarsely, "I want to know, is the guide one of the ordinary humans?"

No one objected, and Sikong repeated her question.

【yes. 】

"I see."

Li Siwen pushed the chair away and stumbled up the stairs, muttering to himself, "I know, I know."

Wen Qing pursed his lips and thought, Li Siwen must be even more suspicious of him.

He stood up slowly and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Now here are the clues:

1. A guide is not an identity

2. The guide is an ordinary human being

3. The usage of the God Card is closely related to the guide

There are only three ordinary humans left...

Wen Qing frowned, feeling that the answer was about to come out.

They missed the most important clue.

What is it?

Wen Qing began to recall what the system had said one by one. He walked out of the bathroom and whispered, "This is a god-level copy. There is a guide among us. Find the guide..."

He walked around the corner in a daze, and Ji Yu's face suddenly appeared in front of him.

Wen Qing was so frightened that he almost jumped up, his heart beating wildly as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

After a long pause, he stammered, "Teacher."

"Are you scared?" Ji Yu asked.

Wen Qing explained in a low voice: "I was thinking about something just now and didn't see you."

Ji Yu smiled and said, "Sorry."

"No need to apologize," Wen Qing shook his head, glanced at the empty living room, and asked softly, "Is the teacher looking for me?"

Ji Yu responded, lowered his eyes to look at Wen Qing's pale face, and asked in a gentle voice: "How do you feel now?"

"I'm a little worried about you."

Wen Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was fine, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into his true thoughts: "Teacher, I'm scared."

Ji Yu gently stroked his head and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

His voice was low and soothing, easily bringing out Wen Qing's emotions.

During this period of time, the fear of being wronged suddenly magnified several times. Wen Qing's tears fell down, his eyelashes were soaked with tears, and his cheeks and nose tip slowly turned red.

"I'm so scared..."

He cried until he was out of breath, sobbing, "I'm afraid of this game, I'm afraid I'll die, I'm afraid someone is deliberately playing tricks and not letting us pass..."

"Why, why were we dragged into this game..."

Ji Yu lowered his eyes and watched Wen Qing crying until her neck turned red and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

He sobbed and cried, tears fell from his eyes with every word. His face was covered with tear marks. He looked so pitiful that people felt a complicated emotion. They wanted to bully him again, but also wanted to protect him even more.

Even at this time, Wen Qing did not feel any hatred towards other players.

No wonder even Yu Xing became soft-hearted, Ji Yu thought.

He pursed his lips, and the smile faded.

Ji Yu took out a tissue and wiped the tears from Wen Qing's face.

"Well, I'm not afraid anymore."

The three words "not afraid anymore" had a strange power, and Wen Qing suddenly wasn't so scared anymore.

His crying paused slightly, and he came to his senses, and suddenly found Ji Yu wiping his face.

Wen Qing quickly took the tissue and said in a crying voice, "I'm sorry, teacher."

Ji Yu half closed his eyes and said calmly: "I should be the one to say this to you."

Wen Qing blinked away her tears, and the blurry world became clear again.

He looked up and saw a strange emotion flash across Ji Yu's eyes, as if someone saw a special breed of cat or dog on the side of the road.

Indifferent, yet with a hint of interest.

In short, it’s not the way people look at each other.

Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, and the next second, Ji Yu returned to his usual gentle appearance and said softly: "If we stay here for one more day, it will be easier for us to be affected by this villa."

"Now we know that the answer lies among ordinary humans," Ji Yu paused and looked into Wen Qing's eyes, "Who do you suspect now?"

Wen Qing shook his head silently.

Ji Yu asked again: "Do you doubt Li Siwen?"

Wen shook his head gently.

Ji Yu's lips curved slightly, and he asked in a gentle voice, "Do you suspect Zhou Zhou?"

"I didn't," Wen Qing shook his head again and said slowly, "I didn't doubt them."

"I think we've forgotten something very important."

Ji Yu stared at him quietly: "What did we forget?"

Wen Qing pursed her lips: "I, I can't think of it right away."

"It should be a message that the system deliberately obscured."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Yu and asked, "Teacher, do you doubt me?"

Ji Yu said calmly: "No doubt."

Wen Qing sniffed and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you doubt me?"

Ji Yu chuckled and said, "Maybe I have a natural liking for you."

Wen Qing subconsciously touched his face and thought, his face is quite friendly.

"Who does the teacher suspect?"

"I think the other two are quite suspicious," Ji Yu paused and said casually, "The system has made it clear that the divine card will not be the guide. If Zhou Zhou votes for Yu Xing again tomorrow night..."

Wen Qing understood the rest even if Ji Yu didn't say it.

Wen Qing whispered: "Is it possible that Zhou Zhou lost his mind because of this villa..."

Ji Yu raised his lips and said patiently: "Even if the villa amplifies your emotions, your first goal should be to pass the level, not to kill people."

"Look at Gong Yunyun and Li Siwen. Didn't they both accidentally kill someone just to get through customs?"

****

After separating from Ji Yu and walking down to the second floor, Wen Qing was still pondering Ji Yu's words and his expression.

I always feel that there is something indescribable strange...

"What are you thinking about?"

Wen Qing blurted out: "Teacher Ji."

He tilted his head and saw Yu Xing leaning against the stair railing like a boneless person.

Yu Xing tilted his head and said lazily, "Poor little girl, since you cried so beautifully just now, I'll tell you something."

Wen Qing was stunned. Just now?

Was Yu Xing just peeking at him and Teacher Ji?

Yu Xing had the same casual smile on his face. He tapped the handrail with his fingertips, glanced across the living room on the first floor, and said lightly:

"This guy Ji Yu is the worst among us."
