Wear a Thriller To Protect the Boss - Chapter 49
That night, Huo Yinting didn’t sleep well. She was always vigilant about the movement in the room. One was worried that the person who wanted to kill Qiao Huai would sneak in, and the other was that Qiao Huai would make small movements.
But Qiao Huai seemed to slept well. He lay quietly on the floor and slept until dawn and the rain stopped.
In the early morning, when the dark clouds cleared and the sun shone into the room, Huo Yinting opened the window, only to feel the sea breeze mixed with the smell of mud after the rain.
Qiao Huai sat on the floor and looked up at her slightly: “Thank you Miss Huo for taking me in last night.”
“No thanks, now you are safe, go back.”
She went to wash herself, and after hearing the door rang for a while, Qiao Huai should have left.
She just walked out of the bathroom and put the gun in her bathrobe pocket back into the secret compartment under the bed.
Then as soon as she opened the door, she saw Pei Yi standing at the door of Room 10. Pei Yi was looking at this side calmly with her arms around.
Her eyes met, somehow, she was a little guilty for some reason, although there was nothing guilty about it.
“What are you doing?”
“See what you need help.” Pei Yi walked over slowly, stood still in front of her, and he asked quietly, “Qiao Huai asked you for something?”
“To be precise, he slept in my room all night.”
“…”
Looking at Pei Yi’s expression, he could not understand this sentence for about a while.
Huo Yinting explained: “I mean, someone wanted to kill Qiao Huai last night, and he happened to run to my door, so I accepted his request for help.”
Pei Yi frowned: “This is too risky, in case he wants to kill you…”
“He can’t kill me, my gun is always in my pocket.”
Even so, it is not completely reassuring.
“Don’t trust any player lightly, they may do it to you at any time before they have determined their camp.”
“I know, but my task is to find out the truth behind this game. I must know everyone who participates in the game.”
Pei Yi knew that she was right. He was silent for a while, and finally sighed: “Do you know who is trying to kill Qiao Huai?”
“I don’t know, the switch in the corridor was pulled, and even Qiao Huai didn’t see it.”
“A hunter?”
“Not necessarily, because the opponent is likely to take the fruit knife in the kitchen. According to the current situation, the hunter’s weapons are guns and poisonous needles, so I suspect it is an ordinary player who wants to grab the puzzle.”
He nodded: “Let’s go and see if someone else died today.”
“good.”……
It turns out that it was calm this morning, everyone was eating breakfast downstairs, and no one died.
Jin Lin also came out of the iron cage. He turned on the taunt mode: “How did you sleep last night? They were all alive. It can be seen that the hunters are indecisive, and the other players with few puzzles are not very smart.”
Huo Yinting glanced at him: “Attorney Jin don’t talk too much. Although the cage is safe, if we throw you in every night, you won’t be able to win the game.”
If you enter the cage every night, it means that every night’s puzzles are emptied, which is also very detrimental to the player.
Jin Lin sneered: “Ms. Huo is usually the most reticent person.”
“Excuse me, I just tell the truth occasionally.”
Qi Ji walked over at this moment and handed Huo Yinting a bowl of milk and fruit cereal: “Breakfast.”
“thanks.”
Qiao Huai also greeted in a low voice not far away: “Miss Huo, come and sit down.”
“Amazing.” Jin Lin raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, “Miss Huo is smart and beautiful, and she is really attractive to men.”
Huo Yinting scooped a spoonful of milk cereal, and she asked unhurriedly: “It seems that Lawyer Jin has some opinions on me, and obviously doesn’t like me. Does this mean that Lawyer Jin is not a man?”
“…Miss Huo, this is a secret exchange of concepts.”
“Forget it, I’m not interested in the silly things like verbally competing to win or lose.”
The two were choking on fire. Suddenly, Guan Chen yelled at Chu Ying on the sofa on the other side.
“Fuck! What are you painting? Are you a pervert?”
When everyone heard the sound, they happened to see Guan Chen snatching Chu Ying’s drawing board. He turned the drawing paper page by page, showing the works on it, all of them were dark portraits of their players. Blood covered his face, broken limbs, distorted facial features-including Zheng Fei, who was already dead.
Li Huijun screamed in fright: “What…what is this!”
Guan Chen slammed the drawing board on Chu Ying, “What the **** are you thinking about?!”
“Tap and tap.” Feng Niange hurriedly stopped him, “Miss Chu is a girl, don’t be rough.”
“No more nonsense, I **** beat you!”
“There’s no end?” Huo Yinting stopped Guan Chen’s hand just raised. She pulled Feng Niange away and motioned calmly, “Does it make sense for you to follow him all day? Stay away from him and go to the island by yourself.”
Feng Niange glanced at Guan Chen aggrievedly, bit his lips tightly, and turned away.
Seeing other people staring at him, Guan Chen probably didn’t take any advantage if he really did it. He cursed a **** and walked away angrily.
As a result, the atmosphere returned to calm. Everyone finished their breakfast, went out, and went upstairs until only Chu Ying and Huo Yinting were left in the living room.
Chu Ying lowered his head, and was meticulously drawing the characters in the last picture. Huo Yinting sat not far away, watching her in deep thought.
“Miss Chu.”
Chu Ying lazily agreed, “Is there anything wrong?”
“Why do you paint these? It’s the people around you who are painting, and I don’t show much respect.”
“Taking materials from the spot has no special meaning.” Chu Ying smiled, with bright red lips, “and don’t you think that this is some kind of art?”
“……perhaps.”
“I know, you don’t like it, and you don’t understand it.” Chu Ying said quietly, “but before, someone did understand me.”
“Is it?”
Chu Ying seemed to remember something in the past, her eyes lit up slightly, and she returned to boundless silence.
“Yes, he understands and appreciates me, but then… he still chose to give up on me. After all, I didn’t get what I wanted from him.”
It sounds like a story that cannot be loved.
Chu Ying didn’t speak any more, and Huo Yinting didn’t listen anymore. In each other’s silence, she got up and left the seat and walked straight upstairs.
Pei Yi was in the corridor on the third floor, looking up at the strange murals. He saw Huo Yinting go upstairs, touched his hand from his arms, and threw something to her.
Huo Yinting naturally raised his hand to catch it, and looked down at a box of cigarettes.
She couldn’t help laughing: “Where did you find it?”
“It’s in the drawer of my room, so I brought it to you.”
Huo Yinting lit one easily, and when the fire lit up, she also glanced sideways at the mural on the wall.
“Do you think…” The smoke made her eyebrows unclear, and she pondered, “The style of these murals is very similar to those of Chu Ying?”
Dark, weird, intense and abstract.
“Do you think so too?”
“Well, it seems that we two thought about being together.”
Pei Yi said: “But we can’t draw conclusions about things that are baseless, maybe it’s just a coincidence.”
Huo Yinting sighed: “I won’t go to the island today, I want to stroll around in the villa.”
“The jigsaw pieces in the villa should have almost been found.”
“Not looking for puzzles today, let’s go to other rooms to see.”
Except for the rooms of the ten players, which are locked and only opened by herself, the other rooms in the villa can be entered and exited at will, and she wandered over before she had time.
Pei Yi readily agreed: “Okay, it’s up to you.”
The two of them walked along the corridor on the third floor from beginning to end and pushed open the doors of empty rooms. Most of the rooms were simply furnished, with only a desk and a bed, which looked like ordinary guest rooms.
However, the one at the end of the corridor was obviously different.
The one at the end is a study room, not as brand-new as the other rooms, it seems that no one has ever lived in it-on the contrary, it was probably used by people before.
There are five floors of red sandalwood floor-to-ceiling bookcases, which are very expensive at first glance. Behind the glass are neatly filled with all kinds of books; on the desk is a row of four-inch-high puppets, a total of seven, all in accordance with ” The character image of “Hell Puzzle” is customized.
Huo Yinting lowered his head and opened the drawer beside the table, and saw that there were some business cards, small handicrafts he bought, gold-wire glasses frames, and the seal of “Shao Wanfeng”…
At the bottom, there is a stack of envelopes **** by ribbons, each of which is “Shao Wanfeng’s personal letter”.
Each letter begins with “Late Feng, see the words as it is, it will be good in the near future” and ends with “Looking forward to a reply”. The signature is “Huo An” without exception.
Huo An, the father of the original heroine.
There is nothing particularly important in the letter, mostly trivial narratives. The two men have always insisted on maintaining their friendship in such a traditional way.
There is indeed this paragraph in Huo Yinting’s memory.
“Huo An is ten years older than Shao Wanfeng. The two have maintained a friendship for more than ten years and regard each other as confidants. Huo An died in the process of investigating the cause of Shao Wanfeng’s death, the original heroine of this story. Suspecting that his father had been killed, Zhou Qing was found.”
Unexpectedly, the truth has not been found out, but he has also been involved in this horror game.
Pei Yi put the stack of letters back in the drawer, and he patted her on the shoulder: “What the original heroine could not do, you can definitely do it.”
Huo Yinting looked at him for a moment, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“I think so.”……
At the same moment, in the woods on the island.
The air was damp and cold, and the woods after the rain were muddy on all sides, making every step difficult.
Feng Niange squatted on the ground and took a piece of the puzzle she had just found into her arms. She suddenly heard the man’s voice in a vague manner, got up subconsciously, approached with one foot and one foot shallowly, hiding behind the tree trunk and listening attentively.
Guan Chen’s voice, she can recognize it as soon as she hears it, and the other…
“Attorney Jin, why didn’t you give me your puzzle directly last night? Anyway, we can share the puzzle, mine or yours, you gave it all to that woman, in case she also put together a complete piece, let’s Are the two in danger?”
“If I give it to you directly, wouldn’t it be equivalent to exposing the binding relationship between the two of us? Do you think they are not targeting me enough now? Can you live if I am killed?”
“The issue is……”
“I ask you, how many have you gathered?”
“I counted before going to bed last night, fifteen tablets.”
A complete puzzle is nine pieces, fifteen pieces, it proves that there are three pieces.
Hearing Jin Lin said: “Okay, it’s not a big difference, you keep one for yourself, and give me the remaining six. I will try to find it before tonight.”
“Then if all the women surnamed Chu are found…”
“Don’t worry, they all saw that I gave Chu Ying the jigsaw. Even if we don’t do it, some people will not be able to hold it back.”
Guan Chen suddenly said, “Attorney Jin is indeed very smart, and I know that cooperating with you is the right choice.”
“In addition, remember to converge a little while voting tonight, so that they don’t point their finger at me again-pay attention to see who else has more puzzles, and think of a solution as soon as possible.”
“clear.”……
Feng Niange stood there blankly, with tears in his eyes and a sad expression.
It wasn’t until this moment that she completely understood that Guan Chen’s character identity was a thief.
[Thief: able to know the identity of any player, if the opponent is a hunter or judge, he will automatically belong to the hunter camp; if the opponent is a criminal, he can bind with him, and the two share the puzzle pieces obtained . The condition is that if the player dies, the thieves are out together, but the thieves die first and the player is not affected. 】
This shows that Jin Lin is an ordinary prisoner.
As a couple, Guan Chen did not choose to bind her, but chose the so-called “smarter and more reliable” Jin Lin. If he wants to win with Jin Lin, it means giving up her.
He wants to win, then she will die sooner or later.
