My ability is to modify the text description

Chapter 228 Between Fenghua. Friendship crushes Monopoly

When they saw the words "between wind and flowers", everyone couldn't help but show disgust.

Previously, Mi'er was named after seasons, such as spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

The rooms in this palace seem to be named after some nouns related to the love between men and women.

So knowledgeable Du Shiyue immediately complained:

"It's still between the wind and flowers. I guess there must be between the snow and the moon. Such a beautiful word is ruined here."

Although "romance" does have the connotation of a love affair between a man and a woman.

But when she thought of the disgusting mural just now, Du Shiyue couldn't help but want to ask where there was any romance here, wasn't it all the smell of money?

However, the name of this trial is not the important point. The important point is the challenge inside.

After asking the three of them to step back a little, Jiang Zheng also took a deep breath and pushed open the door of "Between Wind and Flowers".

As the door opened, a familiar scene appeared inside again, unchanged at all.

In the square, flat room, there was a huge TV screen on the front wall.

When Jiang Zheng walked to the screen with the three of them.

The text descriptions on the huge TV screen were also displayed in front of everyone.

[Hall Trial: Between Wind and Flowers]

[Trial Name: Friendship Crush Monopoly]

[Trial Difficulty: ★★★]

[Trial Rules: This is an exciting Monopoly game that requires a team of five people, including men and women, to participate. 】

ha? This. This is also okay?

When they saw this trial rule, Jiang Zheng, Du Shiyue, Shen Yunyi, and Su Mei frowned almost simultaneously.

It should be said that it is not the second soul palace. The challenge difficulty of this palace rises immediately. It is three-star difficulty as soon as you get started.

You know, the "Devil's Gambit" in the first hall only has four stars, and the others have one or two stars.

But apart from the surge in difficulty of the challenge itself, what surprised everyone the most was the special requirements of this trial.

Suddenly, Shen Yunyi also looked at the line of words and said doubtfully:

"A team of five people is actually required to participate? Does that mean the four of us can't participate?"

Judging from the rules of this trial, they met the requirement of "including men and women" in the team.

But the second requirement, which requires a "five-person team to participate", will definitely not be met.

After all, no matter how many times you count, there are only four people present. Where did the fifth member come from?

In addition, the name of this trial also made everyone feel a little creepy.

Su Mei looked at the words "Friendship Crush Monopoly" and frowned:

"I've heard of the game Monopoly, but what does the broken friendships above mean?"

"Monopoly", also known as Real Estate Tycoon, is a multiplayer strategy board game.

Participants will allocate some money at the beginning of the game and rely on luck (rolling dice) and trading strategies to buy land and build buildings to earn rent.

In the end, all the money of other opponents needs to be squeezed out to make them bankrupt, and the remaining player is the winner.

Judging from the rules of this game, the essence of Monopoly is actually a game that requires holding each other back and framing each other.

It's malicious enough to have the Challenger team play Monopoly, but it also has the words "Friendship Crushed" added to the prefix.

This gives people a sense of danger that it is easy to fall out with friends when playing this game, and the game turns into a real person PK while playing.

Even Jiang Zheng couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile:

"I'm afraid that's what you think. He should try his best to drive a wedge between us during the game and cause a rift in our friendship."

If Jiang Zheng guessed correctly, this game should be similar to the "Devil's Gambit" game that he and Shen Yunyi played before.

Throughout the game, players will face internal conflicts with their teammates.

But if pure internal fighting is not enough to reflect the malice, there should be various traps in this game.

The purpose of these traps, as the title says, is to crush their friendship.

It may take a long time to build a friendship, but it can be destroyed surprisingly quickly.

Although Jiang Zheng has confidence in the emotions between people, he can't help but feel a little numb about this malicious game.

The scariest part is that this game actually requires five people to participate. Where can I find the fifth person?

Seeing that Jiang Zheng seemed to have a headache over the choice of the fifth challenger, Shen Yunyi suggested:

"In that case, how about we let Mi'er join us? She already knows about the Soul Palace anyway."

"If possible, I don't want to drag her in because Mi'er's mental state is really a bit..."

Although Jiang Zheng didn't say the words, everyone probably understood what he meant.

Mi'er's mental state had been in a very bad state for a long time, and she even showed signs of schizophrenia.

Although she looked much normal after leaving the Shen family, giving up revenge, and becoming Jiang Zheng's maid.

However, it is difficult to say whether the huge trauma accumulated in the past ten years has been fully recovered or whether it will relapse due to some unexpected events.

Especially if the game we play this time is "Friendship Crush Monopoly", it may involve internal fighting with Jiang Zheng.

If Mi'er is really allowed to fight with Jiang Zheng and encounter some weird troubles, it's hard to say whether her mental state can be stabilized.

Because of this, Jiang Zheng has never let Mi'er get in touch with matters in the Soul Palace, and this time is no exception.

When hearing this, Shen Yunyi had no choice but to shake his head and continued to propose:

"If Mi'er can't do it, how about asking Linlin to be the fifth person? She should be fine, right?"

"Xia Linlin? She's not very suitable either. This child has been acting weird since she found out she was related to 'Pluto'. Moreover, she has the ability of photographic memory, so it's better not to let her in."

Although Xia Linlin's mental state is not as exaggerated as Mi'er, she is actually far from healthy.

In addition, Xia Linlin has a photographic memory, which means that if she encounters something terrible in the palace.

For example, the tragic scene where Jiang Zheng and others were almost wiped out by the Red Moon Werewolf in "Werewolf in Disguise".

These horrific scenes are likely to be deeply engraved in Xia Linlin's heart and will not be forgotten for a long time.

From this point of view, it is not good for Xia Linlin to participate, and it is not very good for her.

After rejecting two new members in succession, Du Shiyue had no choice but to propose:

"Then what should we do? How about going to explore other rooms first? Save this Fenghua Room until the end?"

"You won't solve the problem until the end. You will have to face it sooner or later. In this case, it is better to find the fifth companion first."

Now that Jiang Zheng had said so, the other three had no choice but to look at each other and decided to call it quits today and go out to find their companions.

Because they were encountering extraordinary trouble, no one said anything as they returned to the first floor of the building and walked towards the women's toilet.

Everyone is thinking about who this fifth companion should be. After all, it is really difficult to think about.

The first is to have a good character and not talk about the spiritual palace with a big mouth.

Secondly, you need to be familiar with everyone, as long as you are familiar with them, and be able to trust each other.

There are not many people who meet these two conditions, and it is even more difficult to pick one out of them.

So when he returned to the women's room, Jiang Zheng said to the three of them:

"How about this? If it doesn't work, I'll go find Teacher Gu Qian."

"Gu Qian is also a solution, but it won't be too troublesome for her."

On the one hand, Gu Qian already knew about the existence of the "Soul Palace", and on the other hand, she was also very familiar with Jiang Zheng. But the problem is that Gu Qian is a very busy person. She usually has to attend classes and prepare lessons.

In the evening, there was still a black canopy live broadcast to be completed, and I was as tired as a dog every day.

Exploring and conquering the palace not only takes a lot of time, but also consumes a lot of energy.

For such a hard-working adult worker, it may be a very troublesome thing.

But even if it was too troublesome for Teacher Gu Qian, Jiang Zheng seemed to have no other choice for a while.

So he had no choice but to shrug and said to everyone speechlessly:

"Anyway, I'll go out and talk to her first. If Teacher Gu Qian really can't spare the time recently, she'll have to find someone else."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zheng instinctively clicked the "Leave the Soul Palace" button in the system.

But the moment he clicked the button, he frowned suddenly and suddenly realized his huge mistake.

Oops! I was so busy thinking about the fifth companion that I forgot to let the three of them enter the storage space before switching back to the real world!

Unlike the previous situation in the "Shen Family Courtyard" where you could enter and exit the palace at will, this "Citigroup Building" is a public place where people come and go.

Even in the women's restroom, there are often various employees or people coming and going, and there is not much open space.

Therefore, if Jiang Zheng, Shen Yunyi, Du Shiyue, and Su Mei were here, they would suddenly switch back to the real world.

Then the figures of the four of them will immediately appear in the women's toilet like magic.

Although it is unlikely that there is any strange thing like a camera in the women's restroom, there is a high probability that someone will see it, which would be troublesome!

Then, the surrounding scene changed from virtual to real, and the figures of the four people were about to appear.

Jiang Zheng quickly grabbed Su Mei and Du Shiyue one by one in the flash of lightning.

Then he held Shen Yunyi with his arms and rushed to the innermost compartment as quickly as possible.

The innermost stall of the women's restroom is usually unoccupied, or has a higher probability of being unoccupied, so you can relax for a while after entering.

Boom! But because Jiang Zheng moved too fast, almost in the next second, the four of them crashed into the compartment with a bang.

How big can a toilet cubicle be? Let alone four people crammed into it, even two people crammed into it would seem a bit crowded.

This was great, Jiang Zheng, Shen Yunyi, Du Shiyue, and Su Mei were squeezed in at once.

Being squeezed like a sardine can in this small space, Su Mei was almost out of breath from the pressure.

"Ouch! Me. Mine."

Shh! Just when Su Mei, who was squeezed in the most, was in pain and subconsciously shouted.

Jiang Zheng immediately reached out and covered her mouth, telling her to be patient and not make any sound.

Because someone's footsteps can be clearly heard outside the cubicle, if you shout now, someone will definitely hear you.

Su Mei also realized the current situation, glared at Jiang Zheng, opened her teeth and bit his finger.

hiss! You are a woman born in the year of the dog, right?

Before Jiang Zheng could take his hand away from Su Mei's mouth, a familiar voice came from outside.

"Huh? Someone seems to be screaming in this compartment?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the footsteps outside the compartment quickly approached and asked with concern:

"People in the cubicle, are you okay? Do you want help?"

Because the commotion Jiang Zheng and others just made was quite big, it was normal for someone outside to hear it and come to check.

In this case, it would have been enough to ask one of the girls to reply, "I'm fine, thank you."

But the moment they heard the sound, the four of them were stunned, and no one spoke.

It's not that these words sound surprising, but the tone of voice feels very familiar.

It was a clear voice that sounded energetic at first glance, but was actually a bit timid.

There is no mistake, we have heard this sound somewhere, and we still hear it often. This is.

Just as the four of them were quickly thinking about who the owner of this voice was.

Du Shiyue, who was squeezed into the outermost layer, suddenly slipped and her body hit the door uncontrollably.

Bang! Along with a muffled sound, Du Shiyue's body knocked open the unlocked door of the compartment and directly hit the person outside!

Oops! Trouble! How could I.

Before Du Shiyue could prepare to hold her head in surprise, a small embrace caught her.

"Sister Shiyue, are you okay? No, sister Shiyue? Why are you here?"

Only then did Du Shiyue, who was dizzy, poked her head out of the unprepossessing airport.

When she looked up, she found a familiar face looking at her with a surprised expression.

Du Shiyue also opened her mouth slightly and called out the name of her best friend.

"Little chestnut! How could you. How could you be here?"

Should it be said that it is a coincidence? The person I bumped into in the women's restroom at this time turned out to be Bai Xiaoli!

For some reason, Bai Xiaoli appeared in the women's restroom on the first floor of the Citi Building, and happened to see four people rushing into the cubicle.

No wonder the voice that just came from outside was so familiar. How could the four of them not be familiar with Bai Xiaoli's voice?

Almost at the same time, Xiao Lizi, who was subconsciously supporting Du Shiyue, also looked into the cubicle.

It didn't matter. After one glance, Xiao Lizi was so frightened that she almost threw Sister Shiyue in her arms to the ground.

In a small cubicle, Jiang Zheng, Shen Yunyi, and Su Mei were hugging each other in a strange posture.

Jiang Zheng pressed Su Mei's body against the wall, while Shen Yunyi hugged Jiang Zheng's waist to prevent herself from falling.

If Du Shiyue, who had just been knocked out, was added to the mix, the situation in this cubicle would be too shocking.

When they discovered that the person who appeared here was actually Bai Xiaoli, Jiang Zheng, Shen Yunyi and Su Mei were stunned for a moment, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, that's great." Su Mei suddenly smiled and said:

"I asked why that voice sounded so familiar just now. It turned out to be you. Good morning, little Lizi."

"Good morning, Sister Mei! No, why are you four here? And you are crowded into a small cubicle?"

Although Bai Xiaoli was a bit naive, he was not stupid. He caught the core of the problem in almost the blink of an eye.

But isn't it? For Bai Xiaoli, this scene was really too scary.

She originally came here early in the morning to deliver something to her relative who worked on the first floor of the Citi Tower.

After delivering the things, I was about to go to the women's room to use the restroom before leaving. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a strange rumbling sound in the innermost compartment, and someone screamed in pain from inside.

Bai Xiaoli was kind-hearted, so when he went over to take a look, he found that his best friend from school had fallen out of the cubicle, and his other two best friends and an adoptive father were still hugging him inside.

These three women and one man, alone and alone, crowded into such a small place, what on earth are they doing... Well!

Thinking about it carefully, Bai Xiaoli immediately remembered scenes from some girls' comics she had read before.

In those shoujo comics, the domineering male protagonist always catches the heroine in some strange places and makes out with her.

For example, there are small bushes, grocery rooms, and toilet cubicles.

It seems that this is the only explanation that can explain why the four of them are squeezed into a small cubicle.

But this is too much fun, right? A man making out with three women inside at the same time? None of the male protagonists in shoujo manga are so awesome.

The moment he thought of this, Bai Xiaoli's face immediately turned red, and he bowed his head to the four people and apologized:

"Did I interrupt your good business? I'm very sorry! I won't dare to do it next time!"
