MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 13

Ah Si originally wanted to persecute Chi Yiyin in the name of group interests, but he never thought that Chi Yiyin would ignore him, ignore his authority and overtures, and treat him as nothing.

What made Ah Si's teeth itch with hatred was that Tong Yao also spoke for Chi Yiyin.

But Chi Yiyin's leisurely and ignorant attitude made Ah Si take the initiative to share some useful information in order to keep his position among the players.

Ah Si said: "I believe that all the old players here have read a lot of recorded and broadcast materials before entering the dungeon, but the NPC aunt really rarely appears."

Chi Yiyin frowned imperceptibly, and listened attentively.

Generally speaking, as long as players know which instance they are about to enter, they will start making corresponding preparations.

The most common method is to purchase recorded and broadcast videos in the live broadcast hall.

Later players will step on the death or successful experience of their predecessors to clear the copy.

But "Dear Home" is not the case.

There's another weirdness about this dungeon—it's never been fully taped.

However, this point is insignificant compared to other illustrious names in the dungeon, so few people will mention it.

Even if some people question it, most others will think that it's just because no one has ever been able to pass the level.

But Ah Si said that was not the case.

He bought almost all the screen recordings, but found that no one could live broadcast until the third day. Even if the player was still alive at that time, and the live broadcast continued, there was only the chaotic sound of electric current in the recorded screen, and snowflakes covered all the images.

The longest recording only vaguely recorded the dense fog, the door of the house opened automatically, and a tall man appeared at the door, raised his head silently and slowly, and looked at the camera.

But before he could see the man's face clearly, the video stopped abruptly, and the player declared his death.

Later players analyzed the recording and agreed that the man was the master of the Ma family who had returned home.

This is also one of the reasons why Master Ma was recognized as the dungeon boss.

In other shorter recordings, although there are very few, butlers in the form of skeletons did appear several times, and younger brothers and sisters who turned into ghosts.

Only the role of aunt only appeared twice.

Once, she and other younger siblings fell in a pool of blood and died.

Another time, it was my aunt who had just appeared at the door of the house.

— Then it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Some players showed disappointing expressions, but Ah Si came up with his own information with confidence.

"However, although my aunt failed to leave too many clues in the video data, starting with Mrs. Ma, I still found some information."

Mrs. Ma and her aunt are actually not sisters of the same father and mother. In that era when the old and the new were changing, Mrs. Ma was a direct descendant and married the well-matched Master Ma. My aunt was born from a concubine and married a country gentry.

But after the two got married respectively, they kept in touch and had a good relationship. My aunt often came to visit Ma's house, and Master Ma also helped my aunt's family a lot.

But this time Mrs. Ma was seriously ill, and Master Ma left home. The aunt, who was always industrious, hadn't seen her sick sister for a long time.

It wasn't until the young lady Ma Yuze came home that the aunt quickly ran over to the door.

"Don't you find it strange?"

Ah Si asked: "My sister is sick, she doesn't come to help and doesn't care, but she immediately ran over when the eldest niece came home, and I just saw Chi Yiyin..."

He looked at Chi Yiyin with a sneer, pretending to be puzzled, and said, "The relationship between Chi Yiyin and Auntie seems to be pretty good, doesn't it?"

The rest of the people didn't know that Chi Yiyin used his aunt to complete the mission, but they all saw the two of them coming in together arm in arm, especially Chi Yiyin saved his aunt once.

Under Ah Si's guidance and hints, several players looked at Chi Yiyin suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, the murderer who killed a player on the train has not been found yet."

Ah Si deliberately brought up this matter, and said, "But Chi Yiyin, you should know, right? I think you seemed to have stayed on the train for a while at that time, and you should have found evidence that can identify the murderer, right?"

These words were implying that Chi Yiyin was the murderer, and staying longer was destroying the evidence, and there was no evidence to prove it.

Under Ah Si's lead, two or three players questioned Chi Yiyin, even if they didn't suspect that he was the murderer, they also asked him if he had reached an agreement with his aunt.

"Someone closes their eyes, is it because they are afraid of being seen as tricky by others?"

The middle-aged player sneered: "Don't you want to rely on NPCs to pass the level?"

Tong Yao immediately became angry, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table: "You fart!"

Several players on the long table quarreled, but neither Ah Si nor Chi Yiyin spoke. One smiled coldly and maliciously, and the other closed his eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Chi Yiyin's face seemed to be calm, but his heart was already roaring.

He really didn't know the identity of his aunt, but he was the only one who knew the existence of the female ghost, and he was very clear about the female ghost's hatred for her aunt.

When Ah Si talked about the life experiences of Mrs. Ma's sisters, Chi Yiyin immediately reconstructed the image of her aunt in her mind.

As the wife of a country gentry, my aunt was too fashionable.

Most women in this era are still wearing old-fashioned long skirts. In many places, cheongsam, which exposes the skin, will be scolded as shameless and immoral.

And my aunt is not only wearing a well-fitting cheongsam, but also wearing small high heels, and her hair has been permed. It is not too much to say that she came back from Shanghai.

The first possibility Chi Yiyin could think of was funding from the Ma family.

But he immediately realized that his aunt's expression at that time was that she regarded herself as the master of the Ma family, and she was not in a state of being short-handed. Moreover, the housekeeper's attitude towards aunt was too respectful, and there was even a faint tendency to please...

Could it be, Auntie and Master Ma?

No, if it was just like this, Ma Yuze wouldn't hate his aunt so much.

Chi Yiyin frowned, and his focus fell on Ah Si's sentence, "My aunt will only come back when the young lady comes back."

My aunt came here for Ma Yuze, but looking at it now, she is a utilitarian person, and she can't afford to be early without profit. Is there anything about Ma Yuze that my aunt wants?

While he was smoothing out his thoughts, the other players were still arguing endlessly, and as the battle situation gradually escalated, some players asked Ah Si to comment, so even Ah Si had to be coerced into it.

At this time, Tong Yao showed his meticulous control of information, and tried to prove to Ah Si that Chi Yiyin was innocent and definitely not a murderer.

After all, as an old player, she is very aware of the malice among players.

Even if the dungeon has a rule of "one person dies, one day less", it is equivalent to binding the interests of all players, so that players will not easily attack each other.

But in the end, there is only one person who can get the rich property of the dungeon boss.

Although Tong Yao is not willing to face that possibility, he is already guessing that the players will kill each other and fight for the last piece of property.

For this reason, it is not impossible for players to eliminate the most powerful competitors in advance.

— as long as they agree.

Although Chi Yiyin has not opened his eyes, his hands under the table have never been idle, and he has been sending messages to Tong Yao, telling her what to do, how to guide the players to actively reveal information that they do not have, If you provoke the relationship between players.

He doesn't understand the playground, but he understands human nature.

Once they are tightly hugged into a group by the opposite side, the number alone is enough to pose a threat.

Chi Yiyin is not afraid of those people's IQ, even if all the other players join forces to deal with him, he can still get away smoothly.

However, he doesn't like to waste time on stupid people, and he doesn't want to procrastinate on things that can be solved quickly.

and…

From Ah Si's words just now, Chi Yiyin has discovered that the other party does hold some valuable information.

And this happened to be what he lacked.

So Chi Yiyin sent a message to Tong Yao, telling her to use his method to extract the information from the opposite party, and then isolate them one by one.

Tong Yao looked at Chi Yiyin who still closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if he was indifferent to the battle situation. She smiled briefly, and then immediately rejoined the scolding battle, one against four.

"Si, you keep saying that you want to be united, but how do I remember that I saw your sales post on the black market before?"

Tong Yao sneered, and threw a bomb: "As early as a few days ago, you have listed the wealth of the Ma family in this dungeon as a list, and hung it on the black market, right? Including the props that may drop in this dungeon, and even the dungeon The boss itself... are you so confident that you can pass this dungeon smoothly?"

The players who were noisy just now quieted down in an instant, and looked at Ah Si in astonishment with doubts in their eyes.

All the old players present know that black market transactions cannot be breached. If you post a post to sell it, you must have something corresponding to sell it to the buyer.

The fact that he dared to post it in advance, and in such a detailed manner, only shows one thing - Ah Si rushed to get all the rewards early on, and he was bound to get it, and he would not give it to anyone.

But in this way, there will only be one person who clears the dungeon, and the rest... will all die.

Ah Si can't be trusted!

He clearly wanted to kill them one by one after gaining their trust.

Although I don't know how Ah Si hid his post so that the dungeon players except Tong Yao didn't notice it, but this aroused the players' doubts about Ah Si even more.

The already fragile trust collapsed in an instant.

Ah Si obviously flustered for a moment, but quickly calmed down, pointing to Tong Yao and said, "What's so good about Chi Yiyin that you let you charge forward for him like this? Let me tell you, don't you just pretend to be like this when you get in the car?" Don't you know?"

He glanced at Li Li and Li Li's companions vaguely, and said meaningfully: "Everyone knows that this dungeon is difficult, and some of them took the initiative to choose this dungeon, but they brought their companions. Only some The National People's Congress shows their companions openly, and some people just sneak around like mice."

"Tong Yao, don't you and Chi Yiyin just want us to be suspicious of each other, and after we kill each other, we'll be the only ones to be the fisherman?"

Ah Si sneered: "Do you think that everyone here is an idiot and can't see your trick?"

The few players who trusted Ah Si at the beginning looked suspiciously at Tong Yao and Chi Yiyin again.

"Ah Si is right, Tong Yao is indeed suspicious, and so is that Chi Yiyin..."

"Could it be that he used special props to change his image? Although there are a lot of people in the game field, everyone with strength knows it well, but he has never been seen before."

"And he also triggered the full dungeon hatred value... This kind of thing, how can it be triggered so easily? He did it on purpose, didn't he plan to kill us a long time ago?"

The two players sitting around Ah Si immediately agreed, pointing their finger at Chi Yiyin sentence by sentence.

The newcomers were completely confused, and all looked at the attitudes of these old players to make choices. The rest of the newcomers, who didn't think there was anything wrong with Chi Yiyin at first, gradually became suspicious.

Tong Yao was so angry that she wanted to flip the table, but Chi Yiyin's reminder from under the table managed to calm her down. She stood there without saying a word, and only looked at the faces of the players in front of her with a sneer.

Seeing that Tong Yao had stopped talking, Ah Si thought it was because she was poor at words, and immediately became complacent.

He cleared his throat and successfully reaped the silence on the long table, which made Ah Si very satisfied.

"Based on my ten years of experience in the game field, I really think Chi Yiyin and Tong Yao are very suspicious, and I was thinking just now, they also happen to be a man and a woman, could they just happen to be the famous couple on the morning star list files?"

After Ah Si finished speaking, she deliberately paused.

Then he continued: "But I don't want to wrong Chi Yiyin and the other at will. After all, in my opinion, if you help each other, you will have a better chance to pass the level. Otherwise, let's be fair."

Ah Si grinned, and said slowly: "Let's vote to decide—think Chi Yiyin is yes, and think no. If most people think Chi Yiyin is dangerous, then we..."

kill him.

Ah Si didn't say the second half of his sentence, but everyone knew what he was thinking.

When the other players heard this, they instantly exploded.

The couple on the morning star list are notorious lovers of massacres, and none of the people who entered the dungeon with them came back. Even the players who pass the level will be killed by them, and they say that God only needs one sun, so only their husband and wife are enough to clear the level.

That couple was notorious, and all the players were both disgusted and fearful, lest they would be unlucky to be in the same copy as the other party.

Now when Ah Si said this, even the players who were not swayed by Ah Si at first all looked at Chi Yiyin and sized him up and down.

Li Li raised his hand, stroked his unshaven chin, and asked his companion with his eyes.

His companion is a young boy who is always unable to lift his spirits. Not only does his face look immature, but he even has two rabbit ears on his sweater.

But Li Li trusts his companion very much, and even more believes in the strength of his companion.

The companion was silent, but since Chi Yiyin entered the banquet hall, he has been watching his every move.

When he looked at Chi Yiyin, he had a strong premonition in his heart.

If we talk about this dungeon, who can compete with them...

There was only Chi Yiyin left.

Ah Si is impossible, and Tong Yao is not worth mentioning.

At this time, as soon as Ah Si's words came out of his mouth, his companion laughed "Pfft!"

What a joke.

The companion silently mouthed to Li Li, with contemptuous eyes: If it was the butcher couple, would we not notice it? That's the person on the reward list.

Li Li was thoughtful: Then who do you think this Chi Yiyin is? On the morning star list and the sky list, there seems to be no such appearance. Could it be that special props were really used?

But the companion shook his head and smiled contemptuously: a group of idiots, who even said they were old players, couldn't even tell the newcomers apart.

He looked at Chi Yiyin with his eyes closed tightly, and then said to Li Li word by word: Chi Yiyin is a newcomer.

Li Li:! !

"impossible!"

He subconsciously blurted out.

But Li Li forgot the silence in the room now.

This made his voice very eye-catching. All the players looked at him, even Tong Yao looked at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly spoke for Chi Yiyin.

"Are you refuting my guess now, saying that Chi Yiyin and the others are not butchers?"

Ah Si lowered his face unhappily: "Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, then I can only think that the four of you are all in the same group."

Li Li: "..."

The companion rolled his eyes: You deserve it, who told you to take the initiative to provoke a fool.

But Li Li quickly regained his composure. He did not accuse Chi Yiyin as Ah Si wanted, nor did he say that Chi Yiyin was wrong.

After all, if Chi Yiyin is really a newcomer...it would be too scary.

A rookie can fool his eyes from the very beginning on the train, and make almost everyone acquiesce that the rookie is actually an old player, even guessing on the morning star list...

Li Li didn't dare to think about how this newcomer would grow if he was given enough time and experience.

After being reminded by his companions, Li Li slowly realized how scary Chi Yiyin was. He stepped back and found that Chi Yiyin used ambiguous words and actions to lead them to think that he was an old player suspected of pretending to be a newcomer.

The cold feeling gradually spread along Li Li's back, making his hairs stand on end, and he shivered uncontrollably.

His gaze at Chi Yiyin also darkened.

For this kind of person, he can only have two ways to deal with it.

Either win over, or act first and kill Chi Yiyin.

In the banquet hall, it was still quiet. All the players including Tong Yao were looking at Li Li, wanting to wait for the speech of this well-known player on the morning star list.

Li Li's words may change the current situation.

Tong Yao's hands on the table could not help but slowly tightened, his heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he began to feel uneasy.

But Chi Yiyin sent her a text message: [Thank you for speaking up for me. Leave it to me. 】

Tong Yao glanced at Chi Yiyin. Although she didn't understand why Chi Yiyin had to close her eyes, this did not hinder her trust in Chi Yiyin.

After receiving clear instructions, Tong Yao let out a sigh of relief and sat down again with a relaxed expression and even a smile.

Pay attention to Tong Yao's player:? ? ?

How can you be so leisurely when you are about to be cast to death?

Their eyes glanced suspiciously between Tong Yao and Chi Yiyin, and for a moment they didn't know who was right or wrong between Ah Si and Chi Yiyin.

Because of this, they entrusted Li Li with the final decision.

The audience in the live broadcast room were onlookers and could see clearly.

[Ah Si, this fox! Good guy, he's been doing this for ten years, right? Some people still believe it. ]

[They can't see what we see, so it's normal for them to believe it? However, Chi Yiyin was in danger, and he was really likely to be cast to death. ]

[If all players express their opinion together, it will trigger a special voting session for the dungeon, right? The key now depends on Li Li. I feel that Chi Yiyin's situation is over and there is nothing he can do, alas. ]

[However, it’s not quite right to say it’s the pair of butchers? Although I haven't seen their dungeon selection this time, I seem to have heard that they are still preparing for the next dungeon. ]

[What matters now is not the truth, but public opinion. And public opinion can kill, as long as everyone thinks that Chi Yiyin is, then he is, and he deserves to die. ]

[It's over! Ahhhhhhh what is he going to do! So nervous, so nervous, it felt like my heart was beating faster. ]

[I also... originally wanted to find a pastime, but I didn't expect this dungeon to be so exciting. However, is he a rookie or an old player? I'm a little confused. ]

[I think it's an old player, he's pretending to be a newcomer, tricking other people into being fooled, and then doing something. After all, have you ever seen a rookie who can trigger a full dungeon of hatred? ]

[That said, it seems to be correct. ]

Just when everyone was worried about Chi Yiyin, he himself was extremely calm, as if what everyone was discussing now was not his life or death at all.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were on him, Chi Yiyin smiled slightly, and said before Li Li: "I'm not going to reveal my identity, everyone can guess for themselves. But before making a decision..."

He hooked his lips and said softly: "Remember to let others try it first."

As soon as these words came out, many old players' eyes widened instantly, and the rest of them were shaken again, and began to look at the people around them with apprehensive eyes.

Only Tong Yao looked at Chi Yiyin in shock as if he knew something inside.

Chi Yiyin tilted her head, as if confirming Tong Yao's guess.

In order to surrender to him, Tong Yao told him all the information he had. There is a sentence in it that mentions a former player on the Morning Star list.

It is said that the player is the best at manipulating people's hearts, and completed the dungeon into his personal game field—just like the name of the carnival game field.

He will incite other players to fight him together, and then when the player thinks he has succeeded, he will laugh and reveal the mystery.

Then, those players who attacked him were all killed by him without exception.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.

Chi Yiyin has always believed that there is no worthless information, but that those who use the information do not realize the value and use the information in the wrong place.

Therefore, when Ah Si deliberately guessed his identity and made other players hostile to him, the plan of stealing the sky and changing the sun had already taken shape in Chi Yiyin's mind.

—Since you said that I am an old player on the morning star list, wouldn't it be a disappointment if I said I am not?

However, since he wanted to play a game, he had to follow his own rules.

for example…

Let's change our identity to guess.

Let's choose-

Am I the butcher who kills everyone, or the **** who kills only those who attack me?

As soon as Chi Yiyin said these words, the effect was immediate.

All the players hesitated to step forward, and began to retreat in their hearts.

Even Li Li blinked, and couldn't help but look down at his companion: Huh? you guessed wrong?

Companion: ...Go away! You idiot, can't you see that Chi Yiyin is messing with everyone?

The companion gritted his teeth and felt that he should change to a reliable partner.

But the way he looked at Chi Yiyin changed.

Winning, or destroying... It's really hard to choose.

"If you have made a decision, please do it as soon as possible."

Chi Yiyin smiled lightly, with a calm expression: "For what you don't know, the truth about my aunt, we haven't discussed the result yet, have we?"

"The copy freeze time is limited, don't waste it in vain."

He bent his slender fingers, tapped the table in front of him, and called out, "System, can we start voting?"

One second before everyone started to waver, the system that had been silent all the time immediately went online, and took advantage of everyone's unanimous voting ideas at this moment to open a special voting channel.

[The voting system has been activated, please choose the candidate who needs to be voted out. Note that death will only take effect if everyone, except the voter himself, votes for him unanimously. 】

[I wish all the survivors good luck. 】

Immediately, some players were stunned and wanted to go back on their word: "Wait! I didn't say to vote. Isn't everyone agreeing to open it?"

[Objection is invalid, please start voting as soon as possible. The countdown starts now, please vote within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will automatically determine that the entire copy has failed. Sixty, fifty-nine...]

Players and spectators were in an uproar, and the unbelievable noise lifted the roof.

But only Chi Yiyin had expected this a long time ago, and the old **** was sitting in place.

From the very beginning, he could clearly see the system's character of not being too serious about watching the excitement. He knew that as long as someone had this idea, the system would try its best to let the voting begin.

And Ah Si originally wanted to use the vote to kill him, but it happened to be used by him in turn...Kill Ah Si!

Chi Yiyin thought this in her heart, but smiled more gently: "Before voting, I want to say a few words."

He looked at Ah Si and said, "Didn't your buyer already send you the money? Ah Si, remember to cheer up after I die."

Chi Yiyin's words were meaningful, and the banquet hall, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone understood what he meant.

This means... Ah Si will definitely kill them, clear the dungeon, and take away the only reward.

Ah Si suddenly panicked, he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, trying to defend himself: "I didn't! He's lying, Chi Yiyin is lying to you!"

However, no one is willing to believe Ah Si's words anymore.

As the sound of the countdown became more and more tense, the players silently pressed their voting buttons.

And the people they choose...

It's Ah Si!

The system's satisfied voice sounded: [No one gives up, unanimous vote is passed, the survivor Ah Si will be voted to death]

[Survivor Ah Si please prepare, countdown three, two, one...]

"I'm not, I don't! You listen to my explanation!!"

But amid Ah Si's shouts, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist, scattered on the table.

The players all looked at Ah Si's blurred flesh and blood indifferently. No one cared about his life, they only cared about their own safety.

Li Li, who had been lazily sitting at the end of the long table, pursed her mouth, disapproving.

And Chi Yiyin quietly waited for the players to calm down from the voting just now, and then said: "Since the person with a ulterior motive has been voted out, then we can continue."

"Where did it go?"

He tilted his head and said with a chuckle, "Oh, yes, it's my aunt."

After what happened just now, all the players' trust and admiration for Ah Si were transferred to Chi Yiyin.

He sat at the first seat of the long table, with a calm expression and a smooth talk.

In the live broadcast room, there was a deathly silence. After a long while, someone tremblingly asked: [You just... who said he was a newcomer? ]

No one answered.

But a teenager who was watching the live broadcast tilted his head in doubt: "Huh?"

If you were me, then who am I?

— Chi Yiyin didn't expect that the master he pretended to be...

Just watched his live broadcast.
