Infinite spooky game

Chapter 110: Double Happiness Town ([-]) Breaking up the good relationship
Qisi watched Shang Qingbei's face stiffen for a moment, his eyebrows slightly raised, noncommittal.

He knew that this child probably knew something, but he had no intention of pointing it out. He was even happy for the latter to use his leverage and criticize a few more words to create the illusion of "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending" so that he could easily shirk the blame in the future.

Shang Qingbei was messy alone for a while. When he looked up, he saw Qi Si standing casually on the side, looking like he was watching the fun.

The scene of the latter talking to Xi'er alone flashed through his mind. He took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice: "What did you do?"

"What did I do?" Qisi asked back, looking at Shang Qing and smiling, "You, Xiao Qing, suddenly had such a big reaction. Is there something you are hiding from us?"

He actually managed to divert the conflict with just a few words... Shang Qingbei was furious.

Looking at the young man's innocent expression and the hidden threat in his eyes, he immediately realized that as long as he dared to comply, the other party would be able to put him in the spotlight.

"It's okay." Shang Qingbei gritted his teeth and uttered two words, pursed his lips and stopped making any sound.

Looking at the "cowardly" look in the young man's eyes, he suddenly had an outrageous guess. Did "Qi Wen" already know the world view and see that he was hiding clues and was just pretending not to know?

This idea was too unrealistic and was dismissed by Shang Qingbei himself within a few seconds of its emergence.

In a team dungeon, survival is the first priority. It makes sense to hide clues yourself, but what the hell is it to allow others to hide clues?

Two men who looked like farmers greeted the player and said a few polite words such as "eat freely" and "have fun" before disappearing into the crowd.

They showed the shyness typical of people living in small places, and their hands were shaking up and down without knowing where to put them.It wasn't until he was far away from the player that he relaxed and let his hands fall to both sides of his body.

Their first departure was not like perfunctory, but more like dodge, as if they were afraid of being pulled by the players for questioning, just like the dwellers in the gutter who were once illuminated by the flashlight and had no other choice but to look for the next gutter. Other methods.

"We spread out, each person is responsible for exploring a part of the area, and we will collect the clues after the banquet is over." Qisi made a hasty arrangement, and without waiting for several players to express their agreement, he spotted a place with few people, and quickly Walked over.

Feeling the decrease in the density of humans around him, he took a long breath, feeling that he could finally breathe freely.

He had to put on a smile and take the lead in making decisions - he didn't want to spend any more time with those living people.

The wedding banquet is generally divided into three parts.

At the edge is the open-air kitchen, where a dozen middle-aged women in floral dresses and wigs stand next to the stove, holding spatulas in their thick arms, constantly stir-frying various meats and vegetables.

Smoke rose into the sky, and red and yellow firelight splashed into the oil pan, burning it to the extreme high.If you hadn't already known that Shuangxi Town was a ghost town, you might still think it was full of fireworks.

Further inside is a wooden table filled with meat and vegetables. The men are holding wine bowls. Some are sitting around the table, some are standing, and the loud talk is mixed together. It is difficult to hear clearly, but it is very lively.

The core group is probably where the relatives and friends who are close to the couple sit. There are men and women. Everyone is wearing festive red clothes, and they are surrounded by an airtight circle. From a distance, there is a red cloud. Can't see clearly what's inside.

Considering that Xi'er is an orphan, these are probably the relatives of the "groom".Qisi couldn't help but be curious about the question Shang Qingbei asked before - "Where is the groom?"

The townspeople had been eating for a while. The tables were littered with chewed bones, and the few vegetarian dishes only had some soup left. Qiss had no intention of leaning over to eat the saliva of strangers.

He turned around and saw a row of newly prepared dishes on the stove. He walked over and brought a plate of braised beef with bamboo shoots without any courtesy. He took the chopsticks and bowl and squatted in the corner. He ate quietly.

Maybe it was because it was still early in the month, but the bamboo shoots on the plate were so tender that they seemed to be able to bite out water, and the beef was cooked very crispy and did not fill up the teeth.

Qisi was quite satisfied with his meal. Considering that the wedding banquet would not end in a short time and the clues would not escape, he decisively decided to put aside the messy things first and solve the breakfast together with lunch.

——Eat first, then use the excuse that you want to thank the host’s family after eating and drinking, and blend in with the groom’s relatives who are wearing red and colorful clothes. Perfect!
……

At the other end, Liu Bingding also held a bowl and chopsticks, but he didn't paddle like Qisi.He didn't take a bite of food, he just set up a table and walked back and forth among the crowd.

On the first day, a clue of a smartphone appeared out of thin air in his trouser pocket, and he couldn't explain the pain.

He really didn't disclose the clues in time, and he really didn't notice that there was something extra on him.Just because this matter was doubtful, he felt that he was more unjust than Dou E.

Players are all smart people, and naturally it is impossible to identify him as a massacre player just because of a small detail that can be explained; but if something goes wrong and someone needs to take the blame or step in, he is likely to be pushed away on this basis. go out.

Liu Bingding said that after working hard on the set for many years, he became a human spirit, but he was also bound by the rules of human relationships.

His thinking is limited to a small circle, and it is difficult to break through without the guidance of outsiders. Naturally, he will not regard Qisi's "kill everyone" style of action as his first choice.

At the moment, he couldn't think of a way to clear up the doubts. All he could do was admit that he was unlucky and try his best to actively collect more clues to form an advantage or prove his innocence. At least, don't let yourself be too passive.

Liu Bingding searched the crowd with his eyes, and quickly located a man who was wandering around and didn't seem to be so gregarious. He approached him and said, "Hey, brother, you look good in this outfit. You should be relatively easygoing in the town." That kind of thing, right?”

The man was startled by his approach. He was stunned for a while and said calmly: "No, I didn't even find a job, so I went back to the town and worked for Granny Xu."

"I think people in your town respect Mrs. Xu very much. It's not easy to attack her, right?" Liu Bingding complimented the man, and without waiting for his answer, he continued to ask, "Brother, what do you do in your daily life? Sister-in-law Xu looks amazing, she should be able to enjoy whatever she does."

The man was a little embarrassed by what he said, and said with a smile: "I follow Sister Xu and act as a matchmaker for others. People from far and near come to us to find wives. Many girls have been married from us."

Do you need a man to be a matchmaker?Liu Bingding's intuition was a little strange, and he was about to ask again, but a tall and thick old man came over from behind, slapped the man on the head, and scolded him in a low voice: "Dog, what are you talking about with this distinguished guest?"

After scolding the man called "Gou'er" for a few more times, the old man looked at Liu Bingding and showed the same smile as Mrs. Xu: "Don't listen to his nonsense. We are not as exaggerated as he said in our town. Mrs. Xu has a good reputation. With such a good reputation, everyone trusts her and is willing to introduce her to her.”

Liu Bingding nodded to express his understanding.

It turns out that Sister-in-law Xu is a matchmaker, no wonder she dresses up in a fancy way and speaks with a certain accent.

——From the beginning to the end, it conforms to the stereotypes of ordinary people about this profession. It is one of the few good intentions of the weird game and does not set up cognitive barriers to identity.

"Old man, where are the groom's officials? We have accepted your hospitality and do as the Romans do. Do we have to say a few words of congratulations?" Liu Bingding looked at the old man and asked with an attitude of asking for advice.

His tall body bowed slightly, looking particularly humble and humble; he also used the latter question to cover up the original intention of the previous question very well, making it hard to fault at first glance.

The old man did not doubt that he was there. He turned around and pointed at the bright red sea of ​​​​people, and said: "He is sitting there with a red flower on his chest. But there is not so much emphasis on congratulations. There are many people in our town who don't I said something to him."

"Your town is a town, and we are all acquaintances. We outsiders have just arrived, so we must not lose our etiquette." Liu Bingding sent the old man away with a smile, then put away the hypocritical expression on his face and gave instructions directly to the old man. direction.Looking from a distance, he saw a touch of white mixed with the bright red background, which was particularly conspicuous.

At some point, Qisi was already standing outside, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the crowd with a bleak expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing the young man's calm expression, Liu Bingding moved closer by accident.

Before he could speak, the young man looked sideways at him and put on an apologetic smile on his lips: "Liu Bingding, I always wanted to say sorry to you yesterday, but unfortunately I didn't find the chance."

Liu Bingding was stunned, and then saw the young man lowering his eyes and sighing: "I was too anxious to find clues last night, so after seeing the smartphone in your trouser pocket, I preconceived suspicion of you and embarrassed you in public. "

"When I calm down and think about it, if it were me, if something suddenly appeared on my body, I would probably not be able to notice it at the first time. At that time, I took action without any explanation. It was my fault."

The words of apology were sincere, not just a blithe "I was wrong", but detailed to the specific actions and thoughts. It was obvious that I had thought deeply and reflected for a long time before speaking solemnly.

Most experienced players are arrogant and stubborn, and there are only a few who can put down their posture and apologize like this.

Liu Bingding was a little flattered and said: "It doesn't matter. In the final analysis, it was me who was careless and didn't share clues in time. If I were you, you would be suspicious if you saw me acting like this."

"I believe you. This is a team copy, and you are not a massacre player. There is no need to hide the clues when you find them, right?" Qisi interrupted the exchange of compliments with a smile.

He didn't want to talk too much, so he said straightforwardly: "I can't find any more clues from Xi'er. I guess there are still some clues with the groom. Let's go and take a look?"

These words confirmed Liu Bingding's conjecture.

Xi'er was behaving strangely, and Mrs. Xu's request to "don't collide" was placed there, so he didn't dare to step forward to test her. The groom's side obviously didn't have so many twists and turns, so he would be fine if he came up to take a look.

What's more, the banquet was just like the wedding banquet he knew in the countryside. If it weren't for the light gray system interface in the upper left corner of his vision, he probably wouldn't have realized that it was in a weird game.

Seeing the black-haired young man strolling towards the crowd in festive red clothes, Liu Bingding followed him without doubting his presence.

He failed to notice that the young man was half a step behind him unconsciously. After a few steps, he walked in front and took the lead.

Liu Bingding pushed his way through the crowd with his broad shoulders and squeezed in. Qisi followed silently.

A small bench was set up among the crowd, and a young man wearing red clothes and red flowers sat on it. Judging from his appearance, he must be the groom.

The groom looked ordinary, with a pair of small, blank eyes on his crooked potato-shaped face, and his half-open mouth was dripping with saliva, and he did not appear to be in a normal state of mind.

He held half a mirror and dangled it in front of his eyes, as if he was having fun.

Ziss noticed that it was a fragment of a makeup mirror with exquisite decoration. It should be used by women. The style was quite modern, and it was obviously not a local product of this town.

"A fool and a madman are a good match from God!"

A high-pitched voice sounded with a smile, not like happiness, but more like sarcasm.

Qisi turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, but did not see the speaker.

He looked at the groom again.

This fool was bringing the mirror to his mouth and blowing air.From the player's perspective, one can clearly see that the mirror is covered with a layer of white mist in a few seconds.

Qisi's eyelids twitched slightly, he walked over in a few steps and squatted down in front of the groom.

From a very close distance, you can see the white powder on the latter's face, covering the entire face like a mask, making the person look like a ghost.

"Congratulations." Qisi said his congratulations without much sincerity, and reached out to shake the groom's right hand.

The palm of your hand is warm and moist, indicating that the groom is a living person.

The long-established conclusions have been partially overturned, and the sense of disobedience has soared to the extreme, triggering an early warning of the worst-case scenario.

For the first time since entering the weird game, there was a problem with the general direction of the reasoning. An uneasy feeling loomed in my heart, causing untimely excitement.

Obviously it shouldn't be like this, but what part went wrong?Is it a small mistake or a big mistake?Is it accidental or inevitable?
Many details await further verification, but not now.

As early as when Qisi squatted in front of the groom, the eyes of the surrounding townspeople followed him, and finally settled on where he was.Several lines of sight shot straight at him, with him as the focus, and they were connected into a web as if they were substantial.

The black-haired young man, bathed in the public gaze, unhurriedly withdrew his right hand and put it back in his pocket.

He smiled brightly and pronounced four words clearly: "A good match given by God."

Astonishingly, he repeated the congratulations he had heard from hearsay.

The eyes of the townspeople were still glued to Qiss, as if they wanted to see through him from the inside out.

The mist that shrouded the entire town dissipated a little, and everyone, everything, and things were flooded by the cold sunshine without any obstruction, making them look pale like a photo exposure.

Qisi stood up unconsciously, kneading the handkerchief with his right hand in his pocket, and turned his whole body towards Liu Bingding.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, as if someone shouted something. A group of people were shocked by the new news and fell silent for a second, and then made more noise and spread what they heard.

Everyone's eyes briefly turned away to look in the direction of the commotion, but within a few seconds, the news spread through a series of comments.

"Xi'er is dead!" they said.

He said in a tone that he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously: "Xi'er committed suicide!"

　Wow, wow, wow, wow, I want the whole life of this dungeon - everyone, guess the world view of the dungeon (although I seemed to have let it slip in the group, but it’s not a big problem XD)
