Love Apartment (11)
/Text: Green Plum Sauce
Li Tao: "!!!"
Li Tao's feet went weak and he almost collapsed from the sofa and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the familiar task panel was displayed in front of everyone.
[Task name: Warm game time
Mission introduction: Yue Ren finally had his own vacation. For a social horror, the skill of socializing is really too difficult. He lacks companionship and hopes to have someone to play a game with him that can make people feel happy. . As his new friend, are you willing to fulfill the simple wish of an ordinary social creature?
Mission reward: Moon Blade favorability +100
Hidden effect: unknown (???)
Are you sure you want to accept the mission? yes or no]
Social fear?
Social "terrorists" are just about the same!
No matter from which angle you look at it, this "pleasant game" does not look like the "simple" wish of an "ordinary" social animal.
Li Tao could feel his personal skills alarming like never before, and his intuition told him that the NPC in front of him was more dangerous than any other he had encountered before.
Li Tao's first reaction was to remind others not to agree easily, but before he could speak, Chi Ting had already answered: "Okay, I haven't played a game with so many friends yet. . But this time the main thing is for you to get acquainted with each other, and I can just be your companion at most, how about that?"
From such an expectant tone, it was enough to feel this person's eagerness to give it a try without even looking back.
Fortunately, Chi Ting did not forget the rules of the game in this dungeon. The extent to which the assimilation determination could be affected by external forces was still uncertain. He still held back, saying that he was playing with him and did not directly choose to accept the task.
Yue Ren raised his eyes when he heard the words, but he acted very well and said: "Of course."
Seeing what Chi Ting said, the other two people decided to participate in the game without hesitation. Only then did they realize that Li Tao was frozen there and didn't move. They turned their heads in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Yue Ren also smiled slightly and looked directly at him: "Yes, what's wrong?"
The sudden feeling of being choked by the god of death made Li Tao's mind inexplicably remember what Chi Ting had said - "If you don't have enough goodwill to go downstairs, you will still die. You will die anyway..." ]
Yes, you are going to die anyway!
Seeing that he only needed to complete one task to gain enough favorability points, Li Tao closed his eyes and gave it all in: "Isn't it just a game? Tell me, whatever you want to play, I'll play!"
Amid the crazy beating of his heart, he heard Moon Blade laugh, and then a deck of playing cards was placed on the table.
Okay, just playing poker?
Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Ting knew poker, he had seen it in books, but he couldn't play it.
Watching Yue Ren take the card out of the card sleeve, he thought for a while and asked: "I don't know this thing, is it too late to learn now?"
"Don't worry, it's not difficult." Yue Ren glanced at him with a smile, and took out a Joker, and the 1, 2, 3, and 4 of hearts cards in sequence.
When she saw him putting the other cards back, Xiang Xianwan said strangely: "Are these five cards enough? The others are not needed?"
"That's enough." Moon Blade smiled very gently, and after briefly shuffling the cards, he spread them out one by one in front of everyone, "As I said, the rules of the game we are going to play are very simple, 'King Game', have you heard of it?"
There was a "click", and Li Tao, who had just calmed down, vaguely and clearly heard the sound of the expression on his face cracking.
Sure enough, his intuition was not wrong. If you play games with this man, you will really die...
Chi Zhanzhi noticed the slightly wrong expressions on other people's faces.
However, his knowledge of poker was limited to recognizing all the suits. For a moment, he didn't realize what the problem was. He could only ask in a very humble manner: "I haven't heard of it, how do I play it?"
Yue Ren glanced at him, but he was very patient: "Come, I will teach you."
Chi Ting came over naturally: "Huh?"
Listening to the simple teaching being carried out here, Li Tao had already put on a mask of pain, covered his face, and did not look at the two figures who to him looked like a Tai Chi Eight Diagrams spelled out.
The rules of the King's Game are indeed very simple. Players participating in the game only need to draw a card from each of them. The player who draws Joker gains the status of "King" and can draw other players with the remaining numbers "1~4" to issue any instructions. Other players who arrive can only choose to obey unconditionally, otherwise they will be punished.
In this game, although the "King" has absolute rights, other players except the "King" are all secret cards, so the process of releasing tasks is actually a blind selection, which also allows such friends to gather together. Tricky games are much more interesting and exciting.
However, the most important point now is that once this seemingly ordinary game is put into the infinite world, and there is a real "ghost" among them, it will be a bit too exciting!
After listening to Yue Ren's introduction to the rules of the game, Chi paused and said "Oh" and smiled slightly: "I should know it."
"Then it begins."
When the rules were introduced just now, the two of them got a little closer. At this time, Chi Ting sat back upright in his seat. Yue Ren glanced slightly when the distance was widened, and pushed the cards on the table to the others. In front of him, his attitude and behavior were extremely gentlemanly, "You choose first."
After thinking about it, Li Tao felt that the only breaking point in this game was that Moon Blade must not be allowed to get the Joker card.
Obviously others thought so too, and subconsciously exchanged glances with each other.
Li Tao recited crazily in his heart, "Namo Amitabha, the Bodhisattva bless you, hurry up like a law, and coax quickly, Amen." He closed his eyes and opened them quickly, and after taking a deep breath, he dared to open them little by little. Open your eyes.
Then he saw the suit of the playing card in his hand - 2 of Hearts.
Not the Joker brand.
Li Tao felt his heart suddenly go cold, and he could only look at the others for help, but...
Half of my heart was completely cold.
"Didn't any of you draw Joker? You're not lucky."
The suit in Chi Zing's hand was the Ace of Hearts. He realized it when no one said anything. When he looked back, Yue Ren had already picked up the last remaining card and displayed the card in front of everyone.
The red Joker card stimulates everyone's vision.
Yue Ren's mouth still had that faint arc, and his laughter fell clearly in the silence: "It seems that I have good luck. I am the [King] this round. If everything is ready, I can start issuing instructions." Yet?"
At this time, don't forget to ask other people's opinions, which seems quite polite and appropriate.
"Well, can I ask first, what is the punishment if you fail to complete the order?" Xiang Xianwan asked softly.
"Punishment..." Yue Ren seemed to have thought about it seriously and smiled silently, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."
Sometimes, the unknown is the scariest thing.
Xiang Xianwan felt her scalp numb inexplicably and became completely silent.
Finally, after thinking about it, Yue Ren drew the first lucky spectator of the day: "The first thing is to let the 3 of Hearts go back to his home alone to find a comb."
No one knows who the 3 of Hearts is until the cards are revealed.
In the silence, Xiang Xianwan slowly stood up from her position. In just one minute, her face became paler than before.
Go home and get a comb.
If placed in reality, this is simply a request that is not even a big adventure, but now they are not in reality. At this point in time, the sounds of various NPCs wandering back and forth in the apartment can still be heard outside...
Next door to Xiang Xianwan lives Gloria, who almost turned her into a doll.
Just standing up from her position seemed to have exhausted all Xiang Xianwan's strength.
She didn't dare to go, let alone not go. After all, she had no idea what kind of punishment would be waiting for her if she couldn't complete the instructions.
She is just a newcomer and does not have the personal skills that Li Tao gained after clearing the level many times.
But she remembered that Li Tao had said that this man was very dangerous, and that someone who could make Li Tao so afraid was definitely someone she couldn't afford to offend. Yes, she had to go, but until now, she still clearly remembers Gloria's finger tour. The touch of walking on her body... whenever I think about it, my whole body trembles subconsciously.
One step, two steps.
In addition to being able to feel herself trembling with every step, Xiang Xianwan forgot to breathe for a while.
Until, suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder.
The gentle warmth seemed to spark a fire on her skin. When she suddenly came back to her senses, Xiang Xianwan remembered that the rapid rise and fall of her chest had resumed. She looked down and met a pair of slightly smiling eyes.
At that moment, it was as if she was completely pulled out of the cold abyss.
Seeing that Xiang Xianwan had finally come to her senses, Chi Ting patted her gently to show her relaxation. At the same time, he slowly stood up from his position: "It's okay. Don't worry, I'll be watching from the door. What's going on?" Just call me anytime if the situation arises.”
Xiang Xianwan looked at Chi Ting, and then subconsciously looked at Yue Ren.
The man on the sofa has changed into a very relaxed and comfortable sitting position.
He kept tilting his head slightly to examine Xiang Xianwan's feeling when she was deeply afraid.
His eyebrows were crooked, with a slight smile, and he seemed to be really immersed in the atmosphere of this game.
When their eyes met, the smile at the corner of Yue Ren's mouth still did not change at all. He just glanced at Chi Ting next to him from the corner of his eye and said very calmly: "Of course there is no problem, I am just an ordinary commander."
Such an answer made Xiang Xianwan regain her composure a little. She opened the door and looked at the green light leaking in from the outside. She felt certain in her heart and finally gritted her teeth and ran towards the safe passage.
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Yue Ren retracted his gaze towards the stairs, glanced slightly to the side, and looked at the figure who had walked to the door at some point.
Under the green light leaking in from outside, half of Chi Ting's body seemed to be swallowed up by darkness at any time, but he could still clearly see the slightly raised corners of his mouth as usual, embedded with the bright light and shadow in the room, which was inexplicably dazzling.
Leaning against the door so relaxedly, Chi Ting waited patiently.
He turned slightly sideways and looked out of the aisle. Yue Ren sat on the sofa and looked at him from a distance.
Obviously, I usually like to see those players who are extremely frightened and pretend to be calm, but for some reason, I suddenly feel that the man in front of me is more interesting.
In the silence, footsteps sounded again upstairs, followed closely by a scream.
Xiang Xianwan ran all the way back to her home, almost rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found a comb in the drawer of the dresser. Not daring to stay there any longer, he immediately turned around and was about to continue running back, but he noticed something when he just stepped out the door. He turned back stiffly and saw Gloria standing there holding the baby.
She screamed uncontrollably.
"Sister, let's play together..." Gloria smiled as harmlessly as ever, but before she could finish her last words, she froze completely with a warning cough coming from downstairs.
The coughing sound obviously came from Chi Ting.
As if she heard a fatal signal, the smile on Gloria's face disappeared in an instant. She subconsciously covered her butt and closed the door before Xiang Xianwan could react.
The picture was so funny that even the barrage in the live broadcast room couldn't hold back this time——
[Hahahahaha, the shadow of childhood belongs to me. 】
[But at least my childhood is complete, so it’s not a loss? 】
[Suddenly I feel envious. If only I could have the strength to make NPCs so scared. 】
[With such a person protecting me, I dare to charge! 】
Xiang Xianwan was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. She immediately grabbed the comb in her hand and went downstairs in a panic.
Seeing Chi Ting standing at the door, she suddenly thanked her frantically, and then put the comb respectfully on the table: "This should be enough, right?"
"Of course." Yue Ren witnessed the whole process just now. It was obviously smooth and unexpected, which made his gaze on Chi Ting become more inquisitive.
Recalling the scene when they first met, I was very curious about what kind of story happened between Mr. Chi and Gloria.
This guy is really interesting.
The smile on Yue Ren's face became clearer: "Then, let's enter the second round."
After the words fell, the other two people who had just breathed a sigh of relief for Xiang Xianwan immediately straightened their backs and looked at the cards spread out on the table again with renewed hope.
However, this time, the Joker card still fell into Moon Blade's hands.
The moment the cards were revealed, everyone almost cried.
Only Chi Ting, who sat back at the table, looked relaxed. Although he didn't speak, the anticipation in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
Yue Ren glanced around lightly: "Ace of Hearts, this time, just go to your neighbor downstairs and ask for a glass of warm water."
Gong Jing was holding his own card and his whole body tensed up. When he heard that it was not him, he subconsciously let out a long breath.
Then he looked up and met Yue Ren's gaze, feeling inexplicably cold.
A smile appeared on Yue Ren's lips: "As long as it's not me, you can breathe a sigh of relief, right?"
It seemed like a casual chat, but the ridicule and ridicule in the words made Gong Jing's expression slightly stiff.
In the rules of this little game, the "King's" order is not allowed to be rejected. Once it is issued, someone must do it. If it is not him, it means that someone else needs to take the risk.
This is doomed. When he doesn't want it to be his turn, he actually subconsciously wants to hand over the risk to others.
This is undoubtedly a very shameless idea.
But in this absolutely dangerous situation, who can keep their meager sense of morality from being overshadowed by overwhelming fear?
After all, he is just an ordinary person!
Seemingly capturing Gong Jing's inner thoughts, the smile in Yue Ren's eyes grew a little brighter.
Li Tao, who was beside him, couldn't laugh at all while listening to the conversation between the two.
Not only because he vaguely felt that this man seemed to know the card numbers of each of them very clearly, but also because the person who received this instruction mission was...
"Looks like it's finally my turn."
In sharp contrast to Xiang Xianwan's performance, Chi Ting stood up with a very relaxed expression.
His previous job required him to work continuously for a long time, facing either his own team members or those aliens who couldn't communicate at all. He almost didn't even think about playing games around the table with a few friends like this. Dare you think about it.
It’s a brand new experience and a rare opportunity, so naturally you have to enjoy it.
Before setting off, he didn't forget to ask Moon Blade one more question: "Is just a glass of water enough?"
Under such questioning, which seemed to want to over-fulfill the task, Yue Ren smiled and nodded: "Well, warm, or freshly cooked is better."
Chi Ting smiled back: "I promise to complete the mission."
When he pushed out the door, he did not forget to change a pair of shoes at the door rigorously.
After closing the door, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the surrounding area became quiet again.
At this time, the other two people except Li Tao finally reacted.
For them, a safe place was never a room in an apartment, but a place with a pool to park in.
But now, after Chi Ting took the mission and left, the three of them were left sitting on the sofa together without daring to move, as if they were lambs being slaughtered in front of a certain NPC.
The surroundings seemed to fall into an eerie dead silence the moment Chi Ting left.
Then, everyone saw Yue Ren showing a very kind smile towards them: "Mr. Chi will probably have to wait a while before he comes back. Since we all want to be friends, why not have an in-depth exchange of feelings?"
The three people left behind: "...QAQ!"
If you are selected, you are playing with them, and if you are not selected, you are also playing with them.
Anyway, the ultimate goal of this game is to play with them to death, right! ?
