Chapter 11: Ten People

  As I walked and looked at the blurry scenery around me, it was still so desolate. This time in the game, we couldn't communicate with other players separately, which means that after meeting Qiao Jia, we couldn't talk to her alone. Why is there such a requirement? Is it because they don't want the other players to know that we've experienced this game before? Or is there another reason?

  Unbeknownst to her, Lianxi's mood had become heavy. She herself had clearly jumped from the 17th floor, so why hadn't she died? Lianxi knew deeply that the moment she jumped off the building was not a dream. Because at the moment of landing, she felt an unbearable pain, a pain that she would never be able to forget.

  Too much confusion makes Ling Xi feel more and more depressed. Even his own attempt to commit suicide was unsuccessful. In fact, the answer he wanted was not as complicated as he had imagined. Since entering this game, his life no longer belongs to himself.

  How could the game allow this to happen. Here, only by getting 100 survival points or dying in the game can everything be resolved. Lian Xi gradually felt a little relieved that she hadn't died due to her own impulsiveness, and she was certain that she hadn't killed Xiao Mu.

  Yes, she didn't want to die, it was just that she was too irrational and suppressed to the point of choosing such an extreme method. Since the game doesn't allow us to give up our lives, I must live on! Xiaomu, I'm sorry but I still can't go with you now, Qiao Jia and I will definitely survive and get out of here!

  The road became wider and suddenly Lian Yu saw some bright lights in front of her. Had they arrived? Walking further ahead, she clearly saw a large empty space. In the middle of the empty space were ten chairs.

  Lian Xi wasn't the first to arrive here. There were already three people sitting on chairs. But what Lian Xi saw in her eyes were just shadows of three people, with no clear facial features. What's going on? And the other three people didn't seem too surprised by Lian Xi's arrival.

  "That one who just came, don't be surprised, you see we should be able to see a black shadow too! We can see it on you too! Sit down and wait for the others." Lian Xi's voice was so familiar - was it Ying? Lian Xi was about to call out when she suddenly covered her mouth.

  Can't communicate with players alone, Lian Xi doesn't dare to break the rules, or she might be erased. Lian Xi walked in front of a chair. This chair was designed very uniquely and obviously didn't match its surroundings. It looked like an ancient armchair, with a wide body, backrest and armrest connected together, both with exquisite carvings, feeling like it was made of purple sandalwood when touched, and emitting a faint fragrance that smelled like agarwood.

  Ling Xi was drawn to the exquisite craftsmanship of the chair and walked around to the back. "This... what is this?!" Ling Xi muttered involuntarily. The other three people could see Ling Xi's outline but not her expression, and they vaguely heard her words, so they immediately stood up and turned to the back of the chair. On the back of the chair's backrest, several lines of characters were clearly engraved.

  Let's play a game.

  One of ten people is a ghost. The game is divided into three rounds. Players take turns speaking within ten minutes to determine who the ghost is.

  Each round, vote for the player you think is most likely to be a ghost. The player with the most votes at the end of the round is out.

  At the beginning of each round, a player is voted to be excluded from the game and only responsible for counting votes and announcing results. You cannot choose yourself, and it cannot be the same person in each round.

  If the real ghost gets the most votes, other players can earn points from waking up from the dream.

  If the player thrown is an ordinary player, that player is eliminated.

  If all three houses are ordinary players, everyone will be eliminated.

  The other two people showed a look of panic, while only one person showed a smile, yes it was Ying! Of course they couldn't see each other's expressions.

  Ling Yu had never been so tense before. This was basically a game that was almost impossible to solve, and the only way to survive was by luck. If you were voted out with more votes, you would be directly eliminated. If you made three wrong guesses, the whole team would be annihilated. The other five people arrived one after another, of course, Qiao Jia also arrived, and under Ling Yu's hint, they all saw the information on the back of the chair.

  "The last one died a slow death, how can it still not be enough!" A man complained. No one responded to him. The central square returned to its calm again.

  Everyone could hear each other's breathing. Everyone was quietly waiting, saying they were quietly waiting, but maybe some people had already been scared silly.

  After waiting for a long time, one person could no longer control their emotions and burst into loud sobs. "Who can tell me what's going on?! Let me out! I don't want to be here." She was very scared but didn't dare leave her seat and run away.

  "Girl, stop crying. Didn't you see? It's just a game. Did you not see the rules when you woke up?" Only Lian Xi could hear this, it was Ying's voice.

  "What game rules?"

  "What?! What did you say?"

  "What? Are there other rules besides the ones on the chair?" The tranquility of the square was shattered, and it instantly became chaotic. At this moment, the last person arrived. He was already terrified, seeing a group of blurry figures in front of him, the loud noise, he collapsed instantly.

  "Ah...... where is this. You guys...... you guys......" Lian Xi suddenly thought that if unfortunately the host chosen by everyone was a ghost, then it would be equivalent to having only two chances to catch the ghost. Moreover, the game rules did not allow choosing oneself.

  So she hopes to become the host of the first game. Ying and Qiao Jia will be the hosts of the next two games. And the rules of the game state that they cannot talk to players individually, but it doesn't say that they can't explain the rules before the game officially starts. So... let's take a gamble.

  "Alright! Stop arguing!" Lian Xi stood up and walked into the middle.

  "This is not the time to panic! The one who just arrived, you see we are all just vague outlines, don't be afraid, that's your chair." He said, pointing to the empty seat across from him. "This is a game, a game with demons, take a look at the rules of the game behind the chair first."

  Apart from this, probably many people didn't notice the game rules on the ground when they woke up. The game rules are roughly as follows: each time you complete a game, you will get corresponding points. This time, in addition to the rules printed on the chair, there is also a special rule that prohibits separate communication with other players, which means we can only talk together and cannot have individual conversations with someone.

  Suddenly a voice rang out "Now give each of you one minute to consider and choose the key person for the first round of the game." Everyone was stunned. Lian Xi hoped that she would be successfully elected as the host of the first round by taking this risk.

  Lian Yu slowly walked back to her own seat, her intention was very obvious, she wanted everyone to know where she was sitting. Everyone looked at others as a black shadow, only in this way would others confirm her specific location. All of this was seen through by Ying.

  "Please have the player point out the chosen object within three seconds!"

  Everyone pointed at Lian Xi in unison. "Game starts!"

  "Thank you for your trust, please everyone take a seat." Everyone listened to Lian Xi's command and sat down. "Now there are only ten minutes left, please do not ask where this is or what to be afraid of, say something useful to help everyone judge. Let me introduce myself, my name is Mo Lian Xi, this is the third time I've participated in the game."
