Chapter 41
Gu Qi's mood was complicated. She thought that she wouldn't be suspected no matter what if she played the game in the opposite way.
She never thought that god Wen Renjing had such an ability and he chose to test her, his teammate.
It was understandable.
With such a skill, of course he would test his teammate first.
Wen Renjing smiled and suddenly said, "Elder Sister, you are more interesting than I thought."
Although she looked solemn and a little cold, she was unexpectedly easy to get along with. Occasionally, some ideas that were completely inconsistent with her appearance could somewhat be called interesting.
"...Thank you for the compliment?"
Gu Qi didn't quite understand what Wen Renjing meant by these inexplicable words, but she didn't explore it too much, and asked, "Then are you going to stop me?"
After all, she was an undercover agent and he knew the truth.
Wen Renjing waved his hand: "God has no position, otherwise I wouldn't show the cards to you."
He even handed all the ghost name tags he found later to Gu Qi, saying: "Elder Sister, do whatever you want."
Although Gu Qi took the ghost name tags, she still didn't believe it: "Then what is God's mission?"
It was impossible for God to only have prop card and skill, but no mission. How could there be such an ‘identity’ that only had benefits and no requirement.
When asked this question by Gu Qi, Wen Renjing held his chin with one hand, "Helping teammates achieve their goals. Being in a group with me means that you are the lucky one. Because I am God and I will naturally satisfy your little wishes. I want to verify your identity to know whether you want to win or lose, so as not to make things worse."
Gu Qi stared at Wen Renjing's eyes for a few seconds, "Lying."
Wen Renjing's eyes flashed with surprise and he stopped quibbling. Instead, he asked, "How did Elder Sister tell? Was it because the lie I made up wasn't convincing enough?"
"That's not the case, it's intuition." Gu Qi didn't know what Wen Renjing's real mission was, but she knew that since he had chosen a lie, there was no point in asking further.
After all...
All the ghost name tags were in her hands and Wen Renjing couldn't do anything.
Gu Qi thought so.
Although she felt that there was something amissed, she didn't find any flaws. She could only put aside her suspicion and continue to look for the ghost name tag.
At this moment, Gu Qi suddenly heard some movement in the trash can at the door.
Gu Qi's intuition made her walk to the window seat and look out.
Shen Anran was looking for the ghost name tag in the corridor.
However, Shen Anran searched around but came back empty-handed.
Gu Qi searched the places Shen Anran had searched again and found two ghost name tags that weren't too hidden and couldn’t be missed.
Gu Qi took the two ghost name tags and looked in the direction of Shen Anran again.
Netizens were surprised.
[I can understand the one in the flowerpot, but Shen Anran looked through the books on the windowsill for a long time, so it's a bit unreasonable not to see them? ]
[I came from Shen Anran's live broadcast room. When she turned the page, she revealed the ghost name tag. Netizens couldn't see it, but she couldn't have not seen it.]
[Feck, Shen Anran deliberately didn't take the ghost name tag, so she is an undercover?]
[Wait! Jiang Lechuan was so nervous at the beginning that it was obvious that he exposed himself. Shen Anran pretended to be blind. Gu Qi was verified by Wen Renjing. So there are three undercovers?]
[But there are only two undercovers in total... Which one of them is fake?]
[Jiang Lechuan: I said I'm not an undercover! ! ! ]
[? Is Jiang Lechuan not an undercover? Then why was he so nervous? Shen Anran and Gu Qi weren’t as exaggerated as him!]
[Is there a possibility that Jiang Lechuan was simply afraid of the escape room... We were all overthinking]
[Damn, is that the case? ]
[Gu Qi and Shen Anran took two completely different approaches. One desperately looking for the tags and waiting to give them to the weak. The other pretending to be blind and not taking them, making himself the weak]
…
Gu Qi was a little surprised that the production team would actually give the ‘undercover’ identity card to the flying guest.
Since Shen Anran and her were teammates in the same camp and Ning Xiwei had successfully found so many ghost name tags today, she didn't need to worry about anything. Then ghost name tags she found in the end would be given to Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan.
Gu Qi felt that her arrangement was perfect.
Soon, the director team announced that the time was up and asked all of them to bring the ghost name tags found by their group to the rooftop where the girl committed suicide to hold a summoning ceremony.
It was completely dark.
Everyone stood together in a circle and held a ‘mysterious summoning ceremony’.
The ceremony was very simple. Each group sent a representative to put the ghost name tags found by their group in the black box placed next to the girl's suicide place in turn.
When each representative came forward, others could not peek and had to close their eyes and pray devoutly to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony.
Gu Qi followed her plan completely.
She put half of her group's ghost name tags into the box with Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan's names, and the remaining half into her group's box.
In this way, the number of Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan's ghost name tags must exceed her group, and the plan worked.
After Gu Qi finished placing the ghost name tags, she closed her eyes and returned to the team.
Next, each group successfully cast their ghost name tags.
The summoning ceremony was successfully held.
After a very cool special effect that obviously cost a lot of money ended, they saw the girl who committed suicide in the story.
The girl stood in the center of the circle, her face full of disgust and hatred, and asked: "Why did you summon me?"
Zhizi said gently: "We want to tell you that your hatred had been avenged. Please let go of these obsessions and reincarnate with the souls you hurt."
The girl looked helpless.
It must be said that the NPC's performance was still very good. The feeling of despair and confusion was right. First, she expressed her gratitude to everyone, and then explained her own difficulties: "It's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't remember why I became a ghost after I died. I clearly remember that I chose to die voluntarily. People without memories cannot reincarnate. So please help me find my memory."
Everyone: "..."
Why did this sentence sound so familiar?
Yes, this was the question Shen Anran raised at the beginning.
It turned out that they couldn't escape and must have such a link.
Director team: "..."
If they didn't play by the rules and no one continued to explore the background at that time, this part wouldn't have been forced in until now!
Jiang Lechuan was very honest: "I don't know, the director didn't say."
[Hahaha Jiang Lechuan: The director didn't say it either! ]
[It's okay, Xiao Jiang, go play by yourself]
The corners of the NPC's lips twitched. She didn't expect Jiang Lechuan to not play according to the norm. Still, she had to continue her act and could only complete the process by herself: "Next, I will verify the number of ghost name tags. I know that there are undercovers in two teams. As long as the number of ghost name tags is met, my memory will naturally come back."
In fact, this part here was to detect the number of ghost name tags to determine whether the undercover wins or the ordinary player wins.
After that, the background of the story will be revealed and the whole process will be completed.
So everyone stood in a row honestly, waiting for the girl to verify the number of ghost name tags in each box.
The first box to be opened was Ning Xiwei's. There were seventy-seven ghost name tags. It was clear that Ning Xiwei was in an absolute dominant position without opening other boxes. A proud look appeared on her face and she quickly glanced at Gu Qi.
Gu Qi didn't know why, but her intuition told her that Ning Xiwei was looking at her now and she should have something to express.
So Gu Qi tentatively raised her hand and clapped.
Led by Gu Qi, a round of applause followed.
Ning Xiwei didn't care about other people, but she was very satisfied with Gu Qi's recognition.
[Ning Xiwei's expression is like my little cat, who wants to show off to me after picking up a ball]
[My cat even picks up mice. Don't want to live]
The second box to be opened was Shen Anran's. There were only twenty-two ghost name tags. Ten of them were earned by Shen Jinyi because he was forced to do tasks because he was 1.9 meters tall. Otherwise, it would be even more tragic.
Shen Anran smiled a little embarrassedly, "My elder brother and I aren’t good at playing this kind of game."
Of course, because she was an undercover agent. She wasn't aiming to win, but she couldn't admit it now.
Shen Jinyi showed a hint of disappointment on his face. Then at the thought of the horrible things he saw, he thought that it didn't matter whether he won or not.
The third one to be revealed was the box of Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan.
Forty-five ghost name tags, a medium result.
But when they saw the number, Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan still let out a ‘ah’ at the same time?
Even Wen Renjing's normally slightly squinted eyes widened a lot in an instant.
After realizing that she was ‘exposed’, Gu Qi pursed her lips and tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
Jiang Lechuan caught Gu Qi's reaction and asked, "Elder Sister, why are you so surprised?"
Gu Qi naturally didn't answer and returned a question, "Then what are you surprised about?"
A very bad premonition was lingering in Gu Qi's heart.
She and Wen Renjing found a total of ninety ghost name tags, so she put forty-five cards in the box of Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan's group.
But now there were only forty-five cards in their group's box.
Then Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan's original ghost name tags. It couldn't be they all...
When the NPC opened the box belonging to Gu Qi and Wen Renjing, it was full of them. It was obvious at a glance that there were more than the group of Ning Xiwei, who was currently in the lead.
Gu Qi: "..."
Knew it.
Jiang Lechuan definitely, definitely, definitely stuffed their group's ghost name tags into her and Wen Renjing's boxes.
[Hahaha, I bloody laughed so hard the whole time. Gu Qi stuffed the ghost name tags into Jiang Lechuan and Jiang Lechuan stuffed his ghost name tags into Gu Qi]
[Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan are indeed siblings. How come these two could think of the same thing]
[Give more to others and have less (thumbs up)]
[That's why Jiang Lechuan was so shocked, because he thought the box would be empty. He didn't know why there were forty-five ghost name tags. Gu Qi was shocked, because she stuffed forty-five into Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan and they only have forty-five]
