Two wooden "thrones" with strange appearances and a chilling aura appeared in the center of the venue.
Apparently, the ghosts were going to change their torture methods today.
Brother Lal came in.
They were still shirtless, and with drunken, crazy, wanton and evil smiles on their faces, they threw Gao Sheng and Huang Yu onto the throne.
Huang Yu desperately shouted for help, but the ghost grabbed his legs and stuffed them into the two holes on the throne. No matter how Huang Yu struggled, it was useless.
His feet were fixed with iron chains, and he was hanging upside down on the throne. He struggled desperately like a fish out of water, and soon he couldn't even breathe.
Gao Sheng, who was standing beside him, hadn't come to his senses yet... He was also hung upside down on the throne, his eyes still confused.
"What should I do?" Zheng Shu trembled non-stop. He looked at Song Yang and Xia Jing for help. "Could it be that Brother Gao really... got infected?"
Song Yang and Xia Jing didn't say anything.
Feng Shi and Bian Ya also looked solemn.
Players who are pointed out by others may not have been possessed by demons yet. The ghosts may torture them for a while and let them go after confirming their innocence.
But most of the players who are actively visited by ghosts in the first round every night... have already been killed by the devil without knowing it.
The ghosts come to them because they "sense" them.
Gao Sheng obviously understood this as well.
His eyes slowly changed from confusion to fear, and then from fear to despair.
"Why? What on earth did Gao Sheng and Huang Yu do to attract the demon?" Fu Lan covered her lips, her face pale. "This is too hard to guard against!"
Song Yang asked Jia Qing: "You two have been together during the day. Has anything special happened to Gao Sheng?"
Jia Qing shook his head repeatedly, his eyes red as he said, "No, no, we were always together during the day, and everyone participated in every topic. I, I don't remember anything noteworthy happening, otherwise I would have told Brother Yang and the others a long time ago!"
Song Yang's brows furrowed deeply.
The Lal brothers each held a huge kettle and began to pour water on Huang Yuhe and Gaosheng's faces.
The water rushed into the two men's mouths and nostrils. They used their hands to block it, and the ghost brothers handcuffed their hands with chains.
They lost the freedom of their hands and twisted their heads desperately, but they could not escape the water.
Soon, the two started arguing.
The water almost suffocated them. They couldn't even shout, and their faces showed pain.
The Lal brothers played in the water for a while before the formal interrogation began.
They stopped pouring water and shouted, "You are the devil!"
Huang Yu was gasping for breath and coughing loudly and violently.
One of them shouted "I'm not", while the other was speechless and could only shake his head.
The Lal brothers continued pouring water, then stopped and shouted, "If you are not demons, then who is?!"
At this moment, Huang Yuhe shouted loudly: "We can identify you. Let us go and we will tell you!"
——After everyone gathered together this evening, everyone reached a consensus.
Whoever is chosen tonight, whether or not the demon has truly possessed them, they can try to use this delaying tactic.
Every second you can delay is a second. If you really can't delay it, you can use this to test how the ghosts will react to the same strategies of different players, just to provide more clues for the other players.
At this moment, everyone's heart was lifted.
Huang Yu and Gao Sheng have both been possessed by demons. Their situation is different from Song Yang's last night. Will this tactic still be effective against the ghost brothers?
The Ghost Brothers paused.
Gao Sheng and Huang Yu were gasping for breath. They looked at the twin brothers nervously, their hearts beating wildly and hope in their eyes.
The next second, the ghost brothers grinned at them with a malicious smile.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The Lal brothers dumped the water from their kettles onto Huang Yuhe Gaosheng's face, laughing loudly: "You still want to use this trick on us?! We've seen through your plan, you evil demons!"
Feng Shi whispered: "They have evolved."
This method is no longer effective.
What follows is a cycle.
The Lal brothers kept questioning, and Huang Yuhe kept denying loudly. This torturous tug-of-war also tortured everyone's nerves.
When their torture cycle reached the fifth time, the Lal brothers asked again: "If you are not demons, then who is?!"
Huang Yu subconsciously looked at the person by the wall.
Fu Lan jumped up and screamed, "You have been possessed by a demon. No matter how you identify it, your fate will be the same as Liu Mingyang's yesterday. Don't harm others!"
Huang Yu's face turned pale.
Fu Lan's lips trembled. She gritted her teeth and said, "You can't escape... Really, don't hurt us. You might as well just admit that you are a demon... Don't suffer any more."
Huang Yu's eyes widened, and he cried out at the top of his lungs: "You want us to die?! How can you be so vicious?! Why don't you die? Why don't you die!"
Gao Sheng, who was beside him, closed his eyes, and tears mixed with the water droplets on his face flowed down his forehead.
At this moment, the ghost brothers suddenly said: "If you identify the devil, we can let you go."
This line, which had never appeared before, surprised everyone again.
Huang Yu was stunned.
Then, as if he had grasped a lifeline, he asked hoarsely, "Really?! Even if I'm possessed by a demon?"
The ghost brother said slowly: "Even if you are possessed by a demon, we can still purify you with holy water. However, holy water is very precious and we cannot give it to everyone. Therefore, only those who confess the demon can enjoy this gift."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Yu's eyes lit up.
Song Yang whispered: "Holy water?"
Xia Jing said calmly, "If holy water really existed, how did everyone in this town die?"
The Ghost Brothers are probably lying.
They have only one goal - to extend the torture chain to more players and drag more players to the rack.
However, for Huang Yu and Gao Sheng, how could they not believe it?
If they go any further they will die. Even though they know that the Ghost Brothers' promise may be a lie, they have no choice but to believe it.
Even if it is just a phantom straw, they will reach out desperately and try to grab it.
Huang Yu was visibly excited. He swallowed hard and said, "You, you must keep your word."
Fu Lan took a step back cautiously.
At a certain moment, her eyes became fierce and she threw a dagger at Huang Yu fiercely!
The next second, the ghost brothers stood in front of Huang Yu.
The dagger that should have pierced through their bodies and stabbed Huang Yu was blocked by their bodies and fell to the ground.
——You can control your own materialization and transparency at any time. The secondary monsters in this copy are too amazing!
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Huang Yu's pupils suddenly constricted, and he said angrily: "I want to identify her, Fu Lan, Fu Lan is the devil!"
Fu Lan immediately screamed: "I'm going to kill you!"
Immediately afterwards, a neck catcher flew over, wrapped around Fu Lan's neck, and pulled her towards the middle!
The third throne appeared in front of everyone.
Fu Lan struggled desperately and was dragged onto the throne, with her feet fixed.
The situation was getting more and more out of control. Zheng Shu and Jia Qing's hands and feet were cold as they watched all this in amazement.
On the throne, Huang Yu asked the ghost brothers expectantly: "Is it possible to purify me with holy water?"
The Ghost Brother sneered and said, "Just wait here. Once we've tortured her and found out something, we'll let you go."
After saying that, they really let Huang Yu go, left him aside, and walked in front of Fu Lan.
Fu Lan trembled and said, "I am innocent. I am not a demon. I—ugh!"
The water poured down her face mercilessly, blocking out all her words.
At the same time, Gao Sheng was still going on.
When the Ghost Brothers began their first round of interrogation, Fu Lan said sternly, "I can confess, as long as you are willing to let me go!"
Aside, Jia Qing murmured, "This night won't end. We're all going to suffer."
The situation has reached this point and it is no longer easy for them to control.
Next, they have to be prepared for everyone to be implicated.
*
Hearing Fu Lan's words, the ghost brother smiled proudly and said, "Of course, you say."
Fu Lan panted and glanced at the people standing by the wall.
Her eyes were a little evasive. After all, she was just angrily blaming Huang Yu, but what she was doing now was exactly the same thing as Huang Yu.
But she was also innocently implicated and wronged. What did she do wrong to deserve this?
Fu Lan was quickly persuaded by her inner resentment.
After all, she didn't dare to offend those powerful people, so she moved her lips and said: "...Zheng Shu."
Under everyone's gaze, Zheng Shu was caught by the fourth neck catch of the night and pulled over.
Zheng Shu's expression was a little dazed.
When he was carried to the throne, Jia Qing squatted down, grabbed his hair, cursed under his breath, and tears kept falling.
Zheng Shu suddenly asked, "Brother Song, Brother Xia...holy water, does holy water really exist?"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Yu and Fu Lan, whose faces were covered in water, also looked at him.
Zheng Shu's smile was uglier than his tears: "I, I'm new here, I don't know anything, and my brain is already dull, so now I can't think anymore. I trust you, so please tell me, should I point it out?"
Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately punctured his fantasy, muttering, "No one will ask you to point it out. If you do, they're finished."
Zheng Shu still stared at Song Yang and Xia Jing.
Song Yang's expression was a little complicated.
He opened his mouth.
Xia Jing spoke before him, saying it very simply and clearly: "If you still want to live, then don't point fingers."
The others were stunned.
At first glance, this sentence sounds like a threat and is very ruthless.
But soon, Xia Jing continued calmly: "The so-called 'I'll let you go later' is a very common rhetoric. Whether the two of them can really escape in the end is still a completely unknown."
Xia Jing swept his calm gaze over Huang Yu and Fu Lan.
The two men's expressions changed slightly.
"But at least, one thing is very clear," Xia Jing said slowly, "You have been identified, and you are most likely not possessed by the devil yet."
"We haven't fully understood the clues to this dungeon yet, but judging by the words on Liu Mingyang's body, the player's responses and words may play a key role in this dungeon."
The young man's voice gradually calmed everyone down.
"So, while your body is still 'pure,' don't easily give suspicious answers and invite the devil's arrival."
Zheng Shu was stunned.
Song Yang took a deep breath and said, "These words may sound like we are saying them to protect ourselves, but that's not the case. If you are willing to trust us, we will naturally do our best to help you."
Zheng Shu nodded with red eyes.
Song Yang said slowly: "Of course, the torture process will be painful, and you need to persevere. But as long as you are not possessed by the devil, you will definitely survive in the end."
Zheng Shu gritted his teeth.
On the side, Huang Yu and Fu Lan began to feel uneasy after hearing this.
They were relieved that the Ghost Brothers had left them alone, but at that moment they also clearly realized that they were still tied to the torture device... They had not yet gained freedom...
It was as if a knife was always hanging over their heads. Would it really be removed? Or would it be like what Song Yang and Xia Jing said...
Especially Fu Lan, she was extremely uneasy.
Like Zheng Shu, she was slandered. Before this, she was probably not possessed by the devil.
But at this moment, she was treated exactly the same as Huang Yu, which made her feel as if she had unknowingly become a person possessed by the devil...
At this moment, Gao Sheng suddenly said: "I am the devil, I admit it, you can kill me."
Everyone was stunned.
This male college student has been trembling with fear since the beginning of this copy. It is obvious that he is afraid of death.
But up to this moment, he had persisted for a full half hour - he had persisted much longer than Huang Yu and Fu Lan.
He gritted his teeth and didn't identify anyone.
And now, he wants to end it all.
Zheng Shu's eyes immediately turned red: "Brother Gao!"
He laughed bitterly and said, "I was the first player to be targeted by the ghost. There must be a part of my body that is already breeding bats. Unlike you, there is no point in me persisting."
He said hoarsely, "There's only one thing I want to ask of you. My parents haven't been in good health, and I'm their only child. If I die, they might not be able to... hold on. I'd like to trouble you. If you can leave this instance, could you, could you please look after them for me for two or three days, until my funeral is settled, which should be..."
Jia Qing burst into tears.
Song Yang closed his eyes.
He said, "Tell me your home address."
He shouted out their home address and his parents' names.
Finally, he said, "I don't know what's going on in the game lobby right now. I hope this can be a turning point for all the players. Once you successfully clear this dungeon, you'll be able to escape Smiley City and gain freedom."
He laughed loudly and said, "I bless you."
After he finished speaking, the Ghost Brothers swung their swords and chopped off his head.
Amid cries and screams, blood spurted from his broken neck.
The ghost brothers laughed and pulled out a small bat eyeball with some flesh still attached from his neck. They shouted to the hundreds of ghosts outside the door: "Look, we caught another devil!"
The ghosts cheered, but the house was sobbing.
The throne that held the loud voice disappeared from its spot.
Gao Sheng's body fell to the ground.
The ghost brothers came to Zheng Shu.
Zheng Shu's face turned red from crying.
He glared at the brothers and roared, "Come on, come on! I will never identify anyone even if I die. If you have the guts, just drown me!"
The third cruel punishment began.
Zheng Shu was choked by water again and again and could hardly breathe, but no matter how the ghost brothers asked, he just kept shouting.
"I'm not a demon!"
"No one is a devil, only you, you are the devil!"
"I'm not a demon!"
"Don't even think about it. I won't point fingers at anyone!"
"I'm not a demon!"
…
Zheng Shu seemed determined to end this torture with him tonight.
He succeeded.
After about half an hour, he almost fainted.
The ghost brothers stopped, spat, and said indifferently: "Forget it, he shouldn't be a demon."
Everyone perked up.
Huang Yu and Fu Lan became nervous.
Is this finally coming to an end? Then the two of them...
The ghost brothers replaced the kettle with two knives.
Fu Lan and Huang Yu were shocked.
Seeing the ghost brothers approaching him, Huang Yu shouted in fear: "Didn't you say you would let us go?! You can't go back on your word! You can't do this!"
Fu Lan begged for mercy: "I am not possessed by a demon, I am not possessed by a demon, I have been slandered from the beginning to the end!"
The ghost brothers stood on either side of them.
The big knife fell, and two heads rolled to the ground, and thick blood spurted all over the ground.
One of the twin brothers dug out half of a bat-wing hand that had grown out at some point from Huang Yu's cut cheek.
Someone pulled out a small bat ear from under Fu Lan's collarbone.
The ghosts leave and the throne disappears.
The bodies of Fu Lan and Huang Yu, and the living Zheng Shu, all fell to the ground.
The others rushed over.
Jia Qing quickly helped Zheng Shu up, wiped his tears and said, "It's okay, Xiao Zheng, you're okay now!"
Xia Jing raised his neck and took a look.
The broken part of Gao Sheng's neck is the cross section of the cervical vertebrae.
On the edge of the cervical vertebrae, three small black words appeared.
Xia Jing whispered, "'No'?"
Feng Shi and Bian Ya cut open the flesh at Fu Lan's collarbone, and they also found two small black words on her collarbone - Zheng Shu.
Song Yang completely removed the flesh from Huang Yu's cheek and said, "The words on Huang Yu's face are, 'Fu Lan'."
Bian Ya stood up and thought deeply: "Are the words on Fu Lan and Huang Yu's bones the names of the people they identified?"
