Wear a Thriller To Protect the Boss - Chapter 45
On the first night of the game, the hunter did not dare to act rashly and was still in the probing stage; because the puzzle had not been found too many, there was no need for the prisoners to kill each other.
In other words, no one has died for the time being, and everything is relatively peaceful and smooth.
Huo Yinting didn’t know who the other hunter was. In short, she just wanted to make up for this night and didn’t want to do it. After all, she was also a young man who had lived in a society under the rule of law. If she could not kill, she would not want to kill.
Naturally, no one came to look for her.
The single bed in the villa was very comfortable. It was rare for her to sleep until the daylight was bright. When she got up and looked at the wall clock, it was already eight o’clock in the morning.
The sun was shining in from the window, and the dark solid wood floor was sprinkled. She sat for a while, finally got up with her clothes, locked the door, and walked downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Qi Ji is actually cooking breakfast in the kitchen with great interest. It turns out that this villa really has everything and the supply of ingredients is very complete.
“Miss Huo is early.” Qi Ji patiently cut the tomato slices. He turned to look at her and smiled politely, “Breakfast is a bacon and egg sandwich, okay?”
“Of course.” She responded politely, “I didn’t expect Mr. Qi to be proficient in cooking.”
“It’s not proficient, it’s just that I learned a little bit in the process of opening a bar.”
She looked at him carefully, and said calmly for a while: “It’s hard to imagine that a person like Mr. Qi who has a good temper and loves life has any troubles and needs to see a psychiatrist?”
“Because… some unpleasant past.” Qi Ji’s smile did not fade, but at this time, it seemed a bit bitter and helpless, “I am alive, who can guarantee that everything goes well?”
At this point, it would be inappropriate for Huo Yinting to continue to ask, but she is also not good at comforting others. After considering it for a moment, she only nodded silently and agreed.
She washed her hands in the sink next to her and fryed the leftover bacon for him by the way.
“Thank you.” Qi Ji thanked in a low voice, and then suddenly asked, “Did Miss Huo slept well last night? Did you notice anything unusual?”
Considering that the original heroine had always suffered from insomnia, Huo Yinting chose to respect the personality out of a rigorous attitude: “I didn’t sleep well, but I did not find any abnormalities.”
“That’s good, but…” Qi Ji sighed, “Such a calm appearance probably won’t last long, right?”
The game is always going to be played, and those who should act must always act.
While talking, I heard the sound of dragging footsteps from the stairs, and everyone went downstairs one after another. It seemed that it was normal last night, and nothing happened.
The rich second-generation Guan Chen only needs to have a mouth, which is very annoying. He looks around and smiles inexplicably.
“Yeah, it’s awesome, are you all alive?”
The dark beauty Chu Ying sat on the sofa, and her makeup today is still rich and glamorous, which shows that she never slackened on makeup.
Hearing the words, she raised her eyes and cast a glance towards Guan Chen coldly: “No matter how you look at it, you have to die earlier than us.”
“…You bitch, can you speak human words? Do you need me to teach you?”
Feng Niange hurriedly stopped him: “Forget it, don’t quarrel early in the morning.”
“Fuck! What a **** bad luck!”
Pei Yi walked at the end, turning a deaf ear to the noise here. He stopped and turned his eyes to Huo Yinting who came out of the kitchen.
Huo Yinting handed him a piece of the sandwich and asked casually: “Did you sleep well last night?”
“It’s ok.”
“Anyway, the conditions are much better than before, right?”
“really.”
The two smiled at each other.
Qiao Huai also came over and greeted them cheerfully: “Miss Huo, early Mr. Pei, this…can you give me a piece of sandwich?”
“Mr. Qi has done a lot, all in the kitchen.”
“Oh! Thanks!”…
The delicious sandwiches and hot milk temporarily relieved the tension caused by the game. If you don’t know the inside story, the people watching this room sharing breakfast might think that they are happy young partners sharing a house.
But in fact, it is facing a life and death competitor at any time.
Huo Yinting walked to the door of the villa with the milk in her hand. She observed the door for a long while, suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed it tentatively.
As she expected, the door opened.
It seems like it is written in the rules of the game that the gates closed in the morning will be opened. Before 8 o’clock in the evening, they can move freely on the island and collect puzzle pieces deeper.
In the daytime, no camp is allowed to kill, otherwise it will be considered out, so hunters can only try to interfere with prisoners collecting puzzles.
“Huh? Can you go out?” Zheng Fei’s eyes lit up, “There should be more puzzles outside.”
Lawyer Jin Lin smiled meaningfully: “Mr. Zheng also expressed concern about whether to play the game yesterday. Today’s enthusiasm is so high. It is gratifying.”
“…Since there is no choice, then respect the rules. Anyone who knows the current affairs should do this.” Zheng Fei finished speaking, and looked at Guan Chen not far away with a smile on his face, his tone filled with approval seeking approval, “You Say yes, Master Guan?”
Guan Chen glanced at him impatiently: “Have a wool relationship with Lao Tzu? Shut up as soon as possible.”
“…”
Feng Niange did not participate in the conversation. She sat on the side and ate four or five sandwiches in a row, as well as two baguettes she found in the refrigerator. From her figure, she didn’t seem to be able to eat so much. Moreover, afterwards, she didn’t seem to be simply eating, but as if she was suffocating.
Li Huijun was a little surprised seeing this scene, and asked cautiously: “Miss Feng, do you really need to rest for a while? Is this… a little too much?”
“Don’t worry about her.” Guan Chen looked at Feng Niange disgustingly and contemptuously. “She is sick.”
“ill?”
“Nonsense! Who goes to the psychological clinic if he is not sick? Would he be fooled by Zhou Qing to come to this horrible place if he is not sick?”
“…”
Feng Niange put down the last piece of bread in her hand with red eyes, she said dumbly: “I’m going to the bathroom.” Then she hurried upstairs.
The clock on the wall clanged again and began to tell the hour, and it was ten o’clock in the morning.
After eating breakfast, Huo Yinting was nothing more than going upstairs to get a coat, and when he returned to the living room, he found that everyone had already gone out.
She walked out of the villa, wandered around first, got acquainted with the topography of the island, and then entered the woods to the east.
The trees are densely interleaved with branches and leaves. Even in the daytime, it is difficult to see through the sunlight and walk through it. It is inevitable that there will be a gloomy and dim silence.
But because of this, talking in such an environment makes it easier for people to have the illusion of security and confidentiality.
When she was passing by somewhere, she overheard two men talking. Her ears were always sharp, and she quickly recognized that it was the voice of designer Zheng Fei and lawyer Jin Lin.
When Zheng Fei asks people, he usually has such a sleazy, flattering voice. He can hear him say: “Attorney Jin, I know you have a super IQ. From last night to now, you have collected a lot of puzzles, and it is not natural. This one is bad, right?”
Jin Lin sneered: “No, in fact, I’m very poor in this one.”
“…Thank you, lawyer Jin, raise your hands high. I have seen this puzzle just now. I’m just one step late.”
“This is a competitive game. One step late is one step late. What can I say?”
Zheng Fei eagerly said: “Lawyer Jin! I believe that we are in the same camp. In fact, we can cooperate for mutual benefit and win-win!”
“Even if you are in the same camp, it doesn’t make much sense to cooperate with you.” Jin Lin’s tone was contemptuous. “To me, you have no use value. Talk about mutual benefit and win-win.”
“…”
Not long after, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and Huo Yinting immediately turned around and left at the fastest speed.
Jin Lin is right. For games like this kind of life and death, even if you want to cooperate, you should choose the safest teammates. What’s the use of alliances?
Although it is summer, the temperature on the island is no different from that in late autumn. A cold wind blows through, and she subconsciously tightens her neckline.
The leaves were rustling, and suddenly there was a Jiao Jianying from the top of the tree and landed firmly in front of her.
“… Pei Yi?” She instinctively took a step back, “You scared me.”
Pei Yi smiled, he walked up to her and handed her a piece of the puzzle in his hand: “Take it.”
“For me?”
“Is there a difference between yours and mine?” he said, “Just don’t let the puzzle fall on other people.”
After all, the puzzle is a tool for him and her to disguise their identities, and the hunter finds the puzzle, which means that it is more difficult for the prisoner to find the puzzle, which is beneficial and harmless.
The two walked side by side, speechless for a long time. Obviously, they didn’t know what the situation was and what was appropriate to talk to each other.
Until Pei Yi asked again: “Is the task of the last world completed smoothly?”
“It didn’t go well.”
“Um?”
When Huo Yinting thought of the final scene of the cleanup plan, the cold numbness of excessive blood loss came to her heart again, and she couldn’t help shivering.
“I was shot three or four times, and I was stabbed six or seven times, all of which were not critical, so I died quite slowly.”
Fortunately, she was ruthless to herself and didn’t let go at the critical moment. She was dead with the dangerous villain.
Maybe she didn’t even notice it. When she said these words, she had a rare weak tone, as if she wanted his comfort.
This may be the maximum she could be acting like a baby.
Pei Yi sighed distressedly. He couldn’t help but rubbed the top of her head, his eyes full of apologetics: “In the final analysis, I’m not doing well enough.”
Huo Yinting looked into his eyes, and was about to say something, but suddenly he heard the footsteps approaching, as if someone was coming.
Pei Yi calmly put down her hand, and she also moved a step aside, keeping the right distance from him, so as not to arouse people’s suspicion.
The girl who appeared in the field of vision was delicate and timid, and it was Li Huijun who looked a little timid.
“Is it… Mr. Pei?”
She only called Pei Yi.
Pei Yi’s figure stopped, he raised his head to look at her, his eyes had returned to the usual cold and alienated, and the chief teacher’s back was chilly.
He asked: “Something?”
Li Huijun glanced at Huo Yinting quickly, and stopped talking several times.
Huo Yinting knows how to look, and people want to chat alone. She is an eye-catcher here. Of course, it is wiser to avoid it, and it just so happens that Pei Yi probes the other person’s mind.
“The two of you talk slowly, I’ll go first.”
In view of the presence of outsiders, Pei Yi did not deliberately stay, but he was unhappy in his heart, and this kind of unhappiness was only directed at Li Huijun.
His tone became colder, and he repeated the question just now: “What’s the matter?”
“I…I think it is more reliable to find an ally based on the current situation.” Li Huijun mustered up his courage and looked up at him, “So, can you ask Mr. Pei to be my ally to protect me and live a safe life.” These seven days? When the game is over, I promise to give you a lot of money. My father is the boss of the company and he is very rich!”
What stupid thing?
Pei Yi felt inexplicable, he couldn’t help frowning: “Why are you looking for me?”
“Because you seem to be very responsible and… and very strong.”
He used to be a special police officer, and his aura was hard and cold. Compared with those men, he was the most capable one at first glance. This was obvious.
But this doesn’t mean he has no brains.
“Don’t you think that if I am a hunter, you and I will be the first to die?”
“…” Li Huijun was stunned, she stammered and replied, “No…no?” I don’t have that bad luck, right?
“Of course not, but I don’t accept your proposal either.” Pei Yi said, “There are many variables in the game. No one knows when he will die. I can’t protect you, so please be smart.”
Then he didn’t wait for Li Huijun to speak, turned around and left.
At the same time, Huo Yinting was walking to the beach.
The white waves slapped against the reefs on the shore, and the sea was gleaming blue under the sun. She saw a thin figure in the distance, sitting with her back facing the sea, like Qiao Huai.
She stepped on the beach, the sand softened over her short boots, Qiao Huai seemed to have a feeling, and looked back.
“Miss Huo?” His beautiful eyes were bent into crescents, and he hurriedly got up to meet him, “Is there anything wrong?”
“It’s okay, passing by.” She whispered, “I saw you not looking for a puzzle, but in a daze.”
“I can find it faster than them. I am the best at this kind of thing.” He raised his eyebrows, a little proud of his youth, “If Miss Huo needs it, I can help you find it.”
She didn’t reject his kindness: “Well, if I need it, please help me.”
He nodded and asked casually: “Miss Huo knows what time it is?”
“At half past twelve, what happened to your watch?”
Qiao Huai shook his watch, looking helpless: “When I fell down the stairs yesterday, it knocked on the wall and it broke.”
He was referring to being pushed and pushed by Guan Chen last night.
Huo Yinting said: “Next time you see that neuropathy, stay away.”
“Thank you Miss Huo for reminding.”
“Um.”
The two stood opposite each other, despite the sea breeze, just silent.
Probably because he felt that there was no more topic to talk about, Huo Yinting greeted him casually, ready to go in the opposite direction.
Who knows that just a few steps away, she heard Qiao Huai ask quietly behind her: “Is there something wrong with someone like Miss Huo who is so righteous that Dr. Zhou was fooled into here?”
No, she was not deceived by Zhou Qing, but by the system.
But this kind of strange thing is definitely not something you can tell him.
“I also had to deal with Doctor Zhou for some reasons.”
“what?”
Huo Yinting sighed without comment.
“Anyway, no matter what it is, it is here. Just try to win the game.”
The only way to find out who is behind the scenes, to know the truth, and to survive, is to win the game.
The author has something to say: What, has no one watched it? I knew that there are fewer people in a world than in a world…
