At eight o’clock the next night, the eleven people in the villa gathered at the door again.
Except for the three people including Lin Huai who left the team, the new group with Tang Wen as the leader completed the distribution of the remaining items before starting the purchase. After the distribution, Tang Wen walked up to the three people and said: “If you regret it tomorrow morning, you can still come back.”
That’s only if they have this destiny.
There were still five minutes left before express delivery, and Lin Huai stared at the balance page on his phone in a trance.
……In a blink, he only had less than three hundred yuan left.
When other players were still worrying about the remaining seven hundred yuan, Lin Huai was the only one who was obsessed with the last 300 yuan. He stared at the cruel balance page, just like a college student who stares at the Huabei repayment page on the 9th of every month – Speaking of which, he forgot to ask yesterday that if he can’t transfer money, can he open a Huabei1 Huabei, which enables Alipay users without credit cards to make online and offline purchases and repay these on installment for up to 12 months, had lagged behind in that reporting process. Ant Group extends users’ credit lines based on its internal credit assessment models.?
It is precisely because of this that he gave up the lucky bag, but settled for the next best thing and chose the “Ex-Girlfriend’s Wrath” for 129 yuan.
The synopsis of “Ex-Girlfriend’s Wrath” was very simple: Today is the first anniversary of your breakup with her, and she decided to give you a surprise.
What kind of surprise will it be? Fruit photos? Seqin2It’s an instrument video? Or the Secret ○○3It’s a placeholder for the name of the group, so like Secret XXX group Group?
Just as his thoughts wandered in that direction, the packages arrived.
Each box of express delivery, full of the player’s expectations, dropped out of the small opening of 20X50cm. Lin Huai and others sat in the corner in a tacit understanding, waiting for others to sign for their packages first.
After being signed for, everyone threw the packaging bags into the trash can as usual, leaving only the goods inside. Then, they will later return to their rooms collectively, and the remaining three will sign for the goods downstairs to prevent accidental injury.
Chu Tian stared at the black plastic bag, swallowed, and looked at Lin Huai: “Well, how about you go first.”
Lin Huai said obediently: “No, Brother Chu should go first.”
“You’re younger than me, you go first.”4Said by Chu Tian
“You’re taller than me, you go first.”5Said by Lin Huai
“You’re more handsome than me, you go first.”6Said by Chu Tian
“That’s enough, I’ll go first.”
The two young men had the“I push you, you push me”mentality, but Zhang Lu was one step ahead of them and walked toward the package.
“Shameful.” Chu Tian said to Lin Huai.
Lin Huai: “…it was obviously you who started to embarrass me first.”
She stared down at the package, her fingers trembling.
‘Why did you buy a lucky bag on impulse?’ She asked herself this in her mind before she placed the order.
Maybe it’s just that… I don’t want to know anything anymore, and I don’t want to be manipulated anymore. Since it’s in a game, at least… let me choose my own way of death.
She took a deep breath and tore open the lucky bag.
……Inside the Fu bag was a small box of matches.
“The little match who sells girls7The little girl who sells matches but the parallel world vers ig :,D: it can light the hair, whether it is a woman’s or a ghost’s.”
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry8Summoning TGCF fans. Guess who this sentence reminds me of? and she showed her first smile in the past two days. Lin Huai pinched her shoulder: “Isn’t this pretty good?”
“Yeah.” She raised her chin, “It’s quite good.”
With that said, she carefully put the match into her pocket, turned around and went upstairs.
Chu Tian and Lin Huai were the only two people left downstairs. Chu Tian looked at Lin Huai and said, “How about I go first…….”
“It’s fine, I can go first.” Lin Huai decided to avenge his shame this time.
The two competed in hand speed, but the final result was that they opened their packages at the same time. Lin Huai took out a black raincoat from his bag.
The moment his fingers touched the black raincoat, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
‘After her ex-boyfriend got a new girlfriend, this young lady put on a black raincoat and walked around the streets and alleys with scissors, hiding in the darkness. Black raincoat, waterproof and blood-proof. PS Please use it on rainy days.’
‘P.S. The raincoat cannot cover your face. Please be considerate if you see a head floating around at night.’
‘PS again, don’t expect to buy perfect goodies in the lucky bag! Silly player, I lied to you. ‘
Lin Huai: ……
Lin Huai shook the disguise prop and looked at Chu Tian again.
Chu Tian frowned, and after a long time he whispered: “I… only received a note.”
With that said, he lifted the note and showed it to Lin Huai. Lin Huai read it three times, but there were still only six words written on it: “Thank you for your patronage, welcome.”
“Is there a mistake? They actually sent me an empty package…” Chu Tian squatted on the ground and searched the contents of the package repeatedly, “Can it be returned? It must be returnable, right? This is simply defrauding consumers. “
With that said, he clicked on the lucky bag purchase page, which had four huge words written on it: “No Returns or Exchanges.”
Chu Tian: ……
He tried again in vain to click the return button, and a prompt popped up: “Please enter your return order number.”
However, there was no return form for lucky bags. After seeing the seven-day no-reason return form tucked into Lin Huai’s packaging bag, Chu Tian finally gave up searching.
“This is too wrong.” Chu Tian felt helpless.
He did not ask about the props Lin Huai purchased. Obviously, in the infinite game world, it is basic etiquette not to reveal each other’s trump cards. It was getting late, so the two of them went upstairs to sleep.
One night passed, and the third day came. As expected, no murder occurred at night. When Lin Huai came down from upstairs, everyone was already standing in the hall.
Seeing the three people jumping around9It means they’re energetic, Tang Wen was a little surprised: “I didn’t expect that you all would be so lucky.”
Lin Huai said: “Of course, the three of us are the prettiest among the remaining eleven.”
Peng Xuan looked at them with some envy: “I wish I had known, then I would have also bought a lucky bag…… It’s only five hundred yuan. Compared with those ghost products, it is not only high in price, but also safe……”
With that said, he shamelessly sat down on the sofa. Tang Wen stopped asking: “Then today we……”。
Saying this, he clicked on the mall to continue the distribution. Lin Huai also joined the daily necessities army in line with the principle of saving money.
He was thinking about buying another second-category prop that he liked on the fourth day. At this time, Yu Fu said: “I, I also want to buy a lucky bag!”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and his words seemed to turn on a switch.
“I’ll give it a try and turn my bicycle into a motorcycle10Upgrade ig.” Sha Mate said, “The worst case scenario is death…… If you can’t buy it all, you’re dead anyway! I’m not afraid!”
After saying that, he also placed an order for a lucky bag while buying daily necessities.
Ye Keke also did the same. Ni Xiao gritted his teeth and placed an order.
Only Tang Wen and Huang Lu were still hesitating. Ye Xian opened his mouth, but finally shrank back.
Compared with the dangerous and unpredictable first and third categories of products, the lucky bag was obviously a very good choice…… but he still felt a little panicked in his heart.
Vaguely, he remembered the piece of paper he saw in the trash can yesterday. Except for the burned part, there was still a red edge.
What was that red edge? He thought hard, always feeling that he had seen it somewhere, but it seemed that he had not seen it before.
After much thought, he finally clicked on the purchase page of a third-category product. When he was about to pay, Ye Xian hesitated again.
……Or would it be better to buy a lucky bag, after all, everyone is buying it.
Thinking like this, he was about to withdraw, but was hit hard by the person behind him.
“F*ck!!” Ye Xian screamed.
“Sorry sorry, It was an accident.” Lin Huai said in panic as he ‘slipped’.
“I……you……” Ye Xian was about to cry without tears, “You just made me die by placing an order……”
With that, he clicked the cancel button in vain. Lin Huai poked his head to watch his operation and asked him: “You don’t want to buy this?”
“Who the hell would want to buy this?!”
“If you don’t want to buy it, just return it when it arrives.” He said softly.
“Return? How can I return this!”
“Look, it says seven days and without a reason.”
“……”
Ye Xian couldn’t talk to him, so he had to admit that he was unlucky. Everyone in the room has finished placing orders, and counting, there were actually four people who bought the Fu bag: Ye Keke, Ni Xiao, Sha Mate, and Yu Fu.
The unlucky Ye Xian was forced to choose the third category of products. The product had no introduction, only the title: “Heartbeat Memories”.
……This is not a heartbeat memory, it is about to stop beating! !
“Now that the purchase has been completed, it’s time to think about… where and who is the mole.” Tang Wen said.
When it was the turn of this topic, the lively atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
Twelve o’clock in the evening on the fourth day was when everything would end. By eight o’clock tomorrow night, if the hidden ghost had not yet been found, then everyone would spend a full four hours fighting in the villa with many ghosts delivered by express delivery.
This was an almost impossible task, so identifying the real mole before eight o’clock became the best possible option.
“Who do you guys think the mole is?” Tang Wen asked.
No one responded.
“In that case, let’s write an anonymous note.” Tang Wen tore off a piece of paper from his notebook and divided it into twelve neat pieces. He gave eleven pieces of paper to eleven people and said, “Each of us names a name and then initiates a vote.”
For a while, there was only the sound of rustling writing in the living room. Lin Huai looked at the people around him, thought for a while, and finally handed over a blank piece of paper.
It’s time to read out the votes, Tang Wen took the votes and started to count them: “Huang Lu……Lin Huai……Chu Tian……Lin Huai……Chu Tian……Tang Wen……Lin Huai……Chu Tian……Uh? Blank paper?”
Lin Huai said: “That’s my vote, I don’t want to wrong a good person. This is my creed as a person.”
Tang Wen continued to read them out: “Huang Lu……Lin & Peng? Why are there two names on this vote?”
After saying that, he turned to look around at everyone: “Who wrote this one?”
No one responded.
He threw the paper aside casually: “This vote is invalid, then the person with the highest vote is……”
Obviously, Lin Huai and Chu Tian are in a tie.
Ni Xiao said: “I think Lin Huai, as a newcomer, is too jumpy and inappropriate. Shouldn’t normal newcomers keep their tail between their legs11Frightened, scared and with their guard up?”
Yu Fu said: “I think there is something even more wrong with this Chu Tian. He is running around with a wrench the whole time, and he is also leading the rhythm all day long……
The two people at the center of the public opinion storm did not look moved at all. Huang Lu looked at Chu Tian, and his careless look finally reminded her of someone.
“Chu Tian, Tian Chu……You, you are……You are Chen Xing’s Tian Chu!!”
Ye Xian, Yu Fu and others showed confused expressions, but Tang Wen, who had some knowledge of the intermediate and advanced courses, was shocked.
At the starter rounds, the group “Chen Xing” isn’t that popular. But at the more advanced rounds, this team composed of absolute elites is second only to the team Gangfeng, which is famous because of how it’s made up of madmans. .
The members of “Chen Xing” all call each other by code names. The more known ones are the code names of several core members, while the code name “Tian Chu” is extremely low-key. At the start, there weren’t many who knew it.
Tang Wen once thought that the game environment he was in was only the most basic starter level game. After reaching the advanced level, the entire game scope would be further expanded. Players will no longer face the threat of a few ghosts, but may even have the luck to face an entire doomsday world infected by ghosts.
Advanced rounds meant more risks, but also more opportunities. At the same time, the transit city-states opened in the high-end market had also become a place for many players to trade. Therefore, players in the advanced level spontaneously formed teams, relying on their powerful abilities to shuttle between various scripts to seek greater benefits.
In addition to the high-level instances, the team will also look for potential newcomers in the intermediate instances and let them join the organization. And “Tianchu” is the newcomer Chenxing recruited when he was in the starter level.
Chenxing has always been known for being aloof, and even in the mid-level, there were very few recruits. When “Tianchu” was invited by Chenxing as a beginner, it really caused a big wave in the high-level area.
But this wave did not splash into the low-level area as “Tianchu” kept a low profile and rarely went on missions. This incident thus quickly became a legend.
Until that happened.
“To be precise, I am a traitor to Chenxing.” Chu Tian played with his mobile phone without raising his head. “Now I am not affiliated with that organization, nor do I receive money from it… I am already financially free.”
By saying this, he acquiesced that he was at least an intermediate player. Tang Wen automatically ignored the last sentence, his eyes narrowed, and then he turned to look at Lin Huai who was still in a daze.
Chu Tian is a secretive boss → Chutian and Lin Huai are like each other → Lin Huai is a secretive boss.
This was very logical.
“So in short, Lin Huai and Chu Tian are not ghosts, right?” Sha Mate, who had no idea what they were talking about, began to speak, “So…… is the ghost Huang Lu?”
Huang Lu said: “I was almost killed by a ghost!”
“The so-called “killed” is just a one-sided statement of yours.” Detective Sha Mate began to reason, “Maybe you just went out in the middle of the night and pretended to fall on the stairs. Otherwise, how would you explain how you returned to your room in the morning? ?”
Huang Lu choked: “I…”
Yes, she indeed had no memory of that time. The last thing she remembered was that her calf was entangled by a human-skin ghost, and then…
Then, there seemed to be a pair of black eyes.
“But speaking of that, Tang Wen is also very suspicious.” Sha Mate clapped his hands again, “An uncle in his forties who doesn’t snore at night, suspicious…”
“And Yu Fu…”
“And Ye Keke…”
The famous detective Sha Mate began to reason, and everyone started to quarrel.
“Well…since we can’t come to a conclusion, it’s not too late for us to identify it tomorrow morning, right?” Peng Xuan said, “Now it seems that there is no clear ghost. If we choose the wrong person…..”
As she spoke, she rubbed her arms: “The restrictions on ghosts will be immediately released…”
As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent. In fact, everyone had their own suspects, but no one was willing to be the first to say them out.
Ye Xian wanted to say something else, but Lin Huai spoke first.
“In that case, let’s leave it until tomorrow.”
Saying this, he smiled slightly at Peng Xuan across the crowd.

I’ve been summoned, his highness the Crown Prince, Xie Lian! He never knows whether to laugh or cry!
Honestly, I have absolutely no clue who the ghost is! No one is entirely suspicious!
“Auntie Peng” who reiterated about cleaning up garbage properly and “Shamate” who wears dyed hair and layers of makeup while he throws big fusses seem the most suspicious to me.
thanks for the chapter ❤️
Thank you for the chapter!!
Auntie peng, is it you?
