Chapter 55: Betrayal 8

  A mirror hangs in the starry night sky, a beam of light shines down into the darkness where Tang Zhen, dressed in a Tang suit, is standing.

  People

  But...

  Fleeting darkness, retreating moment, but the figure of No. 10 Gao Da Tang suit man emerged from the darkness.

  An old-fashioned bayonet suddenly appeared and stabbed deeply into the back of the head of the tall, handsome man in the No. 10 Tang suit.

  The bayonet was only about ten centimeters long, but the tip had pierced through the mouth of Tang Zhen, a 10-year-old boy, and directly penetrated his brain.

  Gurgling and spitting out bloody foam, the tall Tang suit man No. 10 did not die immediately, his throat made a few difficult "huh" sounds before he fell to the ground with a thud.

  Death is not the end...

  At the moment when the No. 10 Gundam's pilot fell down, the figure of the No. 7 Guncannon's pilot appeared closely behind him.

  A sharp dagger slashed the neck of the 17-year-old tattooed youth, and fresh blood spurted out from the smooth wound cut by his carotid artery.

  No. 7 Bell's tattooed youth slowly fell to the ground, and a dull voice appeared at the same time: "No. 7, died of guilt."

  The darkness that had just receded once again descended with the death of the 17-year-old boy with the tattoo.

  Uncle No. 4 Zhongshan looked ugly and didn't expect that An Yi's guess actually became a reality.

  Although he had expected it for a long time, when everything was really like this, and the same verification and killing appeared again, An Yi's face couldn't look any worse.

  "It's my fault for being somewhat lacking in consideration, and now I've gotten us into a situation where we're both verified and killed." An Yi pinched the deeply furrowed spot between his eyebrows.

  "It's not your fault, after all, there are always coincidences. Number Seven took his own life... Number Five did the same, maybe we should investigate Number Six instead." The middle-aged uncle in a Zhongshan suit smiled wryly and shook his head, whether he truly had no grievances or didn't want to create more conflict in this unfavorable situation, anyway, he was obviously trying to change the subject.

  The girl in the No. 6 asymmetrical dress? An Yi raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't refute it.

  An Yi lightly raised her hand and pointed at the paper card marked with the number 6.

  A beam of light shone down from the floating mirror, and the blurry figure in front of the No. 6 asymmetrical dress girl's shadow changed bit by bit until it finally settled into a thief character.

  At the moment he saw the character "thief", Uncle Zhongsan in No. 4 obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

  No. 5 Da Bai Tuo male, No. 7 Zhong Kui tattooed youth, these two are confirmed thieves, even if No. 15 white sweater girl is not a thief out of the game, there can be at most two thieves on the scene. At this time, finding one thief is undoubtedly a good situation.

  Of course... provided that no one gets stabbed in the middle of the night by An Yi or Number 4 Zhongshan.

  Her eyes fixed on the dying campfire in front of her, Anyi quietly waited for the darkness to retreat. Of course... at this moment, Anyi's heart was far from as calm as her face.

  If An Yi or Zhongshan Uncle No. 4 gets killed tonight...

  The quiet night didn't last long, when darkness receded, An Yi let out a sigh of relief.

  It was neither An Yi himself nor Uncle Zhongsan in No. 4. Just...

  Looking at the figure emerging from the darkness, An Yi let out a soft sigh.

  The official didn't even draw his sword, and the thief actually stabbed... a scarecrow!

  Isn't the No. 2 linen skirt youth revealing his identity? With a slight frown, at least in An Yi's view, the No. 2 linen skirt youth's speech and vote didn't reveal his scarecrow identity at all.

  Was it just a coincidence?

  An Yi's face changed color for a while.

  A rusty giant pipe wrench stuck on the head of a young man in a No. 2 uniform, exposing his silhouette.

  It was as if a transparent palm was pressing the pipe wrench on the valve seat, and the lever kept pressing back and forth, making the valve seat tighter and tighter. Even, vaguely, you could see that the head of the young man in the No. 2 blue uniform had slightly deformed.

  The oscillating ratchet wrench thoroughly fixed the young man's head in a 2-inch skirt, and at the same time, an extra-large internal circular pipe wrench was stuck on the side of the young man's occipital bone.

  The pipe wrench made a sharp turn and directly cut off the upper half of the skull of the young man in the No. 2 white skirt.

  Without the protection of a helmet, plus the swelling blood pressure, most of the brain matter of the young man in the No. 2 blouse was like tofu brains, splattered all over the ground.

  "It's about time someone killed him, I'll thank the thief first!" The 3rd chrysanthemum cucumber earring youth raised his hand to flick the bangs on his temple and spat in the direction of the 2nd apron youth: "Fucking annoying, disgusting me to death!"

  "And that No. 9, I don't even want to bother with you, can the thief just kill him too? He's such a snake-like person!" The No. 3 Chrysanthemum Cucumber Earring Youth continued to rant disgustingly for a while.

  "It's true! Before the 7th, he acknowledged a scarecrow, and as a result, he committed suicide in fear of punishment. What's going on? The young man with the chrysanthemum-yellow cucumber earrings looked speechless, but finally slightly returned to the topic: "The 15th was killed, the 5th was killed, and the 7th committed suicide in fear of punishment. That means there is only one thief left on the scene. That means the 11th is indeed a civilian who was pushed out."

  "I'm counting how many nights it's been..." The 3rd number chrysanthemum cucumber earring youth muttered to himself, calculating with his fingers: "The first night was the 15th, killed in battle. The second night was the 5th, also killed in battle. The third night is unknown, the fourth night is also unknown, and the fifth night is unknown too. That's five nights already."

  "Except for the 15th and 5th inspections, that means three more civilian certificates were issued. By now, this card of mine should have been inspected. I don't know if the yamen inspected last night, but if they didn't, then I'd be in trouble, wouldn't I? If I wasn't caught by the yamen, then the yamen would just follow my lead. Of course, you can also think that I'm a yamen card, and since there were no surprises during the inspection last night, I'm quietly passing on information to you all. As for who lost the PK..." The 3rd number Chrysanthemum Yellow Cucumber Earring Youth furrowed his brow in thought.

  "The 14th card, although it was the first round of starting speech without questioning the 2nd and 5th water packages, he also made a speech in the pre-position of the 16th number, which is also not possible to make a official card." The 3rd chrysanthemum cucumber earring youth thought for a moment: "The 14th card can be used as the previous PK."

  "From the first round, card 8 has been pretending to be dizzy, and in the previous round, card 7 recognized the scarecrow. Card 8 decisively gave card 7 a boost, and this card can also go up for the last PK."

  The youth with the chrysanthemum and cucumber earrings said after thinking for a while, his tone full of certainty, reiterating once again: "Card 8, card 14, the previous PK."

  "Last night, I checked No. 6 and killed him." The uncle wearing a Zhongshan suit at No. 4 cleared his throat twice: "I'm a yamen token. On the first night, I checked No. 15 and killed him; on the second night, I checked No. 5 and killed him; on the third night, I checked No. 10, who was a civilian, but he ended up being verified and killed as well; on the fourth night, I checked No. 2, and again, he was verified and killed."

  "The fifth night watch is number six, and number six is a thief. There's only one thief on the scene now, and that's number six. Let's all vote for number six to come out." The uncle in the Zhongshan suit concluded briefly.

  In the darkness, An Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise at the verification order reported by Uncle Zhongsan No. 4.

  No. 5 Big White Rabbit Man was clearly killed, No. 7 Zhong Kui Tattooed Youth's suicide due to fear of punishment, and No. 6 Slanted Shoulder Dress Girl was also killed. If No. 15 White Sweater Girl is a thief too, then reporting her as such by No. 4 Sun Yat-sen Suit Uncle would be no problem at all.

  Let's take a step back, if the white sweater girl No. 15 is not a thief, then in the verification order reported by uncle No. 4 in Zhongshan attire, there is the first round of checking and killing No. 15 white sweater girl, plus No. 10 Tang suit man and No. 2 apron youth who were verified and killed together, it's hard to believe that No. 6 diagonal shoulder dress girl is a yamen runner.

  What if the girl in the No. 6 cheongsam doesn't believe that the uncle in the No. 4 changshan is a yamen runner? She might pretend to be a commoner and watch the excitement, letting the yamen runner deal with the uncle in the No. 4 changshan.

  After all, Uncle Zhongshan in No. 4 had reported to the authorities and registered for investigation, if he wasn't with the yamen team, he would definitely be taken as a thug by the yamen.

  As a result... the girl in the No. 6 cheongsam was knocked out in a daze.

  Of course, it's also possible that the girl in the cheongsam dress with a slanted shoulder (No. 6) might recognize an acquaintance and get up to greet Uncle No. 4 who is wearing a Zhongshan suit.

  But... if No. 6 Cheongsam girl retorts to No. 4 Zhongshan suit uncle, she will have to report in order of the queue, dare she?

  $$ His gaze had been fixed on the direction where the girl in black dress No. 6 was, so when her figure emerged from the darkness, An Yi still caught a glimpse of hesitation on her face.

  Although this hesitation was soon covered up by the girl in the No. 6 oblique shoulder dress.

  As expected, there was a slight deviation. The girl in the No. 6 oblique shoulder dress did not recognize the people, but actually recognized a policeman. Only...

  "I'm a yamen runner, what are you going to use to report me for execution?" The girl in the No. 6 cheongsam dress pouted.

  "We actually checked No. 1 on the first night, and No. 1 was a civilian!" The girl in the No. 6 diagonal shoulder dress pursed her lips: "Actually, No. 15 wasn't our kill, because she got up and threw a water bag at PK half-jumping, and our No. 16 companion directly defined her as a fierce jump and asked to eliminate her."

  "Actually... we don't even know if the 15th is when the thief escaped or not." The girl in the diagonal shoulder dress scratched her hair irritably.

  "As for the second night, it was indeed No. 5 who was a thief; on the third night, it was No. 8, a civilian; on the fourth night, it was No. 2, a civilian; and on the fifth night, it was No. 9, a civilian." The girl in the No. 6 diagonal shoulder dress pouted: "I don't know if No. 4 is a killer or not. But it's already been five days, it's impossible for a civilian to get up and report a murder at such a critical time."

  "Whatever..." The girl in the No. 6 oblique shoulder dress scratched her hair again, looking annoyed: "I don't care if No. 4 is a fierce jump or a folk jump, you've already reported it to the patrol officer to be killed, so just let No. 4 come out."

  "Uh..." The apron-clad man No. 8 seemed to be taken aback by the middle-aged uncle in a cheongsam, No. 4, and the girl in an asymmetrical dress, No. 6.

  "Alright, I'm thoroughly exhausted. I really am a civilian. Let me think for a moment..." The man in the 8th apron wiped away the sweat dripping down his neck with his chef's hat.

  "Alright, so the meaning of 4's speech is that there's only one thief left on the scene, which is 6. So... let everyone vote! 8 hesitated for a moment: "Let everyone vote and decide for themselves. If 6 is indeed the last thief, then at most, only one vote will be cast against 4, and even if it goes to PK, it won't be enough to kill 4. Then we can just vote to kill 6 later."

  "Hmm, that doesn't seem to work either..." The eighth apron man was stunned for a moment, and with a gloomy expression, he wiped his face with the chef's hat: "What if six is really an officer? What should we do then? Even if there's another officer besides six, if two officers go to vote for four together, that other officer will be exposed too... And what if there's only one officer on the scene, which is six?"

  "I don't know what to do, let the people behind me discuss it. I really have no idea, but I am a citizen." The man in the No. 8 apron looked down at his face.
