Chapter 7 The Guide 07



Wen Qing didn't think much about it, thinking that Ji Yu was too surprised after hearing Yu Xing's words and accidentally pressed his wound.

He endured the pain and whispered, "It's okay."

The sound was very soft, but it was still heard by the people outside the door.

"Who?" Zhou Zhou asked.

Before Wen Qing could open his mouth, the bathroom door was opened forcefully and slammed against the wall.

Wen Qing subconsciously took a step back and bumped into Ji Yu's arms.

"Be careful." Ji Yu said, raising his hand and putting it on Wen Qing's shoulder.

Wen Qing's eyes were red, his collar was askew, and his shoulders and chest were exposed to the sight of several people. His chest was wet and a little pink, and there were large bruises on his shoulders, as if he had just been bullied.

Feeling the gazes of Zhou Zhou and Yu Xing, Wen Qing quickly pulled up his collar and stammered, "My teacher and I didn't mean to eavesdrop. We were already here."

Yu Xing stared at his chest. Wen Qing was wearing a white T-shirt today. The area on his chest was wet with tears, becoming transparent and sticking tightly to his skin.

He glanced at Ji Yu thoughtfully, curled his lips, and asked along the lines of Wen Qing: "What are you doing here?"

Wen Qing opened his mouth to explain, but Yu Xing didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued, "Last night in bed, you said no."

"So you don't want me..."

Yu Xing spoke in a low voice, but there was a sly smile in his eyes, deliberately trying to arouse people's imagination.

He talks nonsense like this every time.

Wen Qing was angry and embarrassed, and said angrily: "Yes, I want everyone but you!"

The three of them were all stunned. Yu Xing was the first to react. He raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Don't be like this."

"You haven't even tried my specialties."

Yu Xing licked the corner of his lips and said suggestively: "I am definitely better than them."

"Special, long."

Every word is pronounced with emphasis, and every phrase has a double meaning.

Specialties, specialties...

Wen Qing's cheeks turned red, and she was annoyed why she understood it so quickly.

What's even more infuriating is why Yu Xing always makes dirty jokes in various situations, no matter what he says?!

Shame on you!

"You, you..." Wen Qing was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhou Zhou changed the subject: "I made a new discovery last night."

"last night?"

Yu Xing tilted his head, narrowing his narrow eyes slightly: "Oh, by the way, you and Xiao Wenqing slept together."

"What new discovery could it be? His body—"

Zhou Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "It's a new discovery about the game. It's very important."

"Let's go to the living room first."

Yu Xing uttered a meaningless syllable from his nose. His eyes did not look at Zhou Zhou, but at Ji Yu.

Ji Yu smiled slightly: "Okay."

Yu Xing curled his lips and said, "Okay."

Ji Yu placed the medicinal wine in Wen Qing's palm and whispered in his ear, "Remember to apply it twice a day. You can also come to me at night."

Wen Qing held the medicinal wine in his hand and hummed vaguely, without any intention of asking Ji Yu for help again.

He didn't want to trouble Ji Yu just now...

After walking out of the bathroom and before reaching the living room, Zhou Zhou stopped and stood in front of Wen Qing. He looked into his red eyes and asked in a low voice, "What happened just now?"

"You're crying?"

Wen Qing nodded shyly and whispered, "My shoulder hurt a lot today, so I found some medicinal wine in the kitchen. Then the teacher saw it and asked me to rub it on. It was so painful, I couldn't help it..."

His voice became lower and lower, and his ears turned red by the end.

Wen Qing thought, he is timid, afraid of pain and loves to cry...

Zhou Zhou must be speechless to him...

Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Wen Qing's shoulders. There were a few faint fingerprints on the edge of his collar. He didn't know if it was because Wen Qing's skin was too tender, or if the person who applied the medicine had ulterior motives.

Zhou Zhou's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said to Wen Qing: "I'll help you apply the medicine tonight."

"No need to bother the teacher."

Wen Qing shook his head: "It's okay, I can do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, several footsteps were heard and the girls all went downstairs.

Zhou Zhou straightened his expression and said, "Everyone is here. Please sit down first. I have a new discovery."

Everyone took their seats, and only eight of the original ten people remained, leaving two chairs empty.

Wen Qing glanced around and recited everyone's names in his mind: Zhou Zhou, Yu Xing, Teacher Ji, Si Kong, Gong Yunyun, Li Siwen...

There seems to be another one called Chen Yiyi?

Wen Qing looked at the girl next to him, and was stunned after seeing her face clearly.

In fact, everyone present looked not very well, but Chen Yiyi's condition was very abnormal. Her face was pale, and her double eyelids had swollen into single eyelids. It seemed that she had cried too much last night. She sat there in a daze, and her hands on the table were still shaking.

Wen Qing remembered that when the three-headed dog left last night, this gentle girl with short hair was a little dazed, but not to this extent now.

It's only been a few hours...

Did anything happen later last night?

Wen Qing was not the only one who thought this way. Others also noticed Chen Yiyi's condition and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yiyi didn't say anything.

Everyone looked at Gong Yunyun who was in the same room with her.

Gong Yunyun had two dark circles under her eyes and said unhappily, "She must have been frightened by what happened last night. She didn't sleep well last night and kept having nightmares, screaming and crying, which made me sleep poorly too."

She complained, and Chen Yiyi's face turned even paler. She began to lose control of her emotions: "Can you guys still sleep?"

"Two people died in just a few hours yesterday, and more will die today. Tomorrow, tomorrow we will all die here!"

"I, I don't want to die... I just finished the college entrance examination and finally got into the university..."

Chen Yiyi was the youngest among the group, just 18 years old. She collapsed on the table and burst into tears.

The word death weighs heavily on everyone's heart. No one wants to die, everyone wants to live.

Wen Qing's mood gradually became depressed, and his eyes became slightly hot.

He doesn't want to die either, as he hasn't provided for the dean's mother yet.

After a while, Zhou Zhou spoke up and said to everyone: "It's eight o'clock in the morning now, and there are 13 hours left. We still have time."

"I can find a guide."

He wanted to encourage everyone, but Chen Yiyi cried out, "I can't find it, I can't find it."

"The rules of this game are basically sending a guide. We don't know how to use the magic card, we don't know what the clues provided last night are, we don't know, we know nothing..."

It was the first time that Wen Qing saw a girl crying so miserably in front of him.

He pursed his lips, went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water for Chen Yiyi, put it next to her, and said dryly: "Drink some hot water."

"It's okay. It's going to be okay."

Chen Yiyi cried for more than ten minutes, but she was no longer so depressed and just lowered her head and sobbed quietly.

Zhou Zhou knocked on the table and said slowly: "We should be more optimistic."

"The purpose of the system is not to kill us. If it wanted us to die, it wouldn't have provided a way to deal with the three-headed dog last night."

"Let me first tell you about the important discovery last night."

He briefly recounted his findings about the door last night.

Wen Qing had already heard it, so he stared at the embossed wooden door absentmindedly.

The relief above was very abstract. The dogs didn't look like dogs, and the cats didn't look like cats. Various animals were crowded together. Wen Qing could barely recognize a three-headed dog among them.

There seems to be a human figure on the right side of the three-headed dog?

Wen Qing blinked and stared at the pattern closely.

A human face, a human body, and two horns on the top of the head...

Maybe it's just a human-like monster?

Wen Qing looked away.

The meaning of the door is an important clue. Although it is not used at the moment, it is good news after all, and everyone's mood relaxed a little.

"In mythology, the three-headed dog seems to have no other meaning except guarding the gate." Gong Yunyun frowned, looked at everyone, and asked tentatively, "Could the clue be in the three-headed dog?"

"Does it have anything on it?"

Gong Yunyun first looked at Li Siwen, who had escaped from the dog's mouth last night.

Li Siwen shook his head: "I don't seem to see anything on it."

Gong Yunyun asked again: "What about the others? Did they see it?"

Wen Qing also shook his head: "No."

He only remembered that the three-headed dog was pitch black all over. If there was something else, it would be very conspicuous and someone would definitely see it.

Gong Yunyun stared at him closely, her face full of suspicion: "Really?"

"You shook hands with it yesterday. You were the only one among us who had close contact with it. Did you really not notice anything?"

"No." Wen Qing frowned slightly. He didn't like Gong Yunyun's attitude.

He looked up and saw Gong Yunyun still looking him up and down, a little dissatisfied, and said softly: "If you don't believe it, you can give up and shake hands with it tonight and take a closer look."

It was rare to see Wen Qing confront someone, so Yu Xing raised his hand and said lazily, "Abstain from voting."

Last night, the three-headed dog appeared when he gave up. If he gives up tonight, no one can guarantee that the three-headed dog will appear again...

Gong Yunyun curled her lips and said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't see it."

"There is one more thing I want to ask this handsome guy holding the God card first."

Gong Yunyun looked straight at Sikong and asked, "Why didn't you come when we were discussing in the study room last night and said there was an important clue?"

Sikong uttered two words coldly: "Something happened."

Gong Yunyun seemed to have caught something and asked, "What is more important than finding a guide?"

"You haven't been socializing since yesterday. What can you do in this damn place?"

"You don't look like someone who is socially anxious, or... don't you care whether you can find a guide?"

She was aggressive and aggressive.

Wen Qing frowned even more tightly. Without any factual basis, Gong Yunyun attributed the identity of the guide to Sikong.

He didn't think Sikong would be the guide, he thought the three people on the divine card would be excluded first.

Sikong helped him several times yesterday...

Wen Qing exhaled, mustered up his courage, and asked Gong Yunyun: "Then, then why did you close the door last night and not let me in?"

The others were stunned. No one knew that Wen Qing was locked outside by Gong Yunyun.

Zhou Zhou frowned, his expression slightly cold.

Yu Xing's face was full of smiles as he watched the scene.

Gong Yunyun was also stunned for a moment, then said: "I was in a panic at the time and didn't pay attention to you at all. I didn't know you didn't enter the room. It wasn't intentional."

Her words were clear, without any stuttering, as if she had thought of the reason long ago.

Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Wen Qing scratched his palm nervously and asked again: "Then were you the one who pushed me last night?"

Gong Yunyun was startled and immediately said, "What do you mean by pushing you? I didn't push you, why would I push you?"

Then, she raised her voice and asked, "Wen Qing, are you doubting that I am the guide now?"

Wen Qing pursed her lips: "I just want to know who pushed me and if it was intentional."

Gong Yunyun sneered: "If that's the case, why are you asking me in front of everyone?"

"Do you want everyone to be suspicious of me?"

Wen Qing was a little confused: "But you just asked Si Kong in front of everyone."

If you can do this to others, why can't others do this to you?

Gong Yunyun's face changed slightly. She didn't expect that Wen Qing, who looked timid and useless, still had some brains at this time.

It was not right to admit it or not, so she simply shut her mouth and said nothing.

After a moment, Zhou Zhou glanced at everyone and asked, "Did anyone see who pushed Wen Qing?"

"This person is very suspicious. If he did it on purpose, he is most likely the guide. If he did not do it on purpose, he should come out and apologize to Wen Qing now."

No one spoke.

Zhou Zhou sighed and asked Wen Qing: "What impression do you have about that person?"

"Like the smell? The sound?"

Wen Qing thought about it. At that time, he only heard the sound of the three-headed dog and smelled the blood. He had no impression of that person at all.

He only remembered that the other person touched him and then he slammed hard against the wall.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qing said, "It should be very powerful."

Gong Yunyun couldn't wait to say, "If he's stronger, he should be a boy."

Wen Qing looked at her strangely: "But you are also very strong."

Yesterday I pulled him directly from the bedroom door to the study.

Gong Yunyun's face changed and her voice became shrill: "Wen Qing, you are targeting me, right?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Wen Qing frowned, wondering whether Gong Yunyun's reaction was due to guilt or because she didn't like him?

Suddenly, a sneer sounded from the other side.

Wen Qing raised his head and saw Yu Xing holding his chin with one hand, looking at Gong Yunyun with a smile: "Your name is Gong Yunyun, right?"

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Are you feeling guilty?"

"Are you the guide?"

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, distrust will grow rapidly.

Wen Qing felt a chill down his spine, and suddenly felt the horror of this game.

Make players distrust the people around them and kill each other.

What if there is no guide at all?
