Chapter 152 Playing Games

"So, this nursery rhyme is about losing the head?"

Raise your gun and aim at everyone on the stage.

Detective Zhou didn't pull the trigger right away, because Amanda and the others were still on top.

He just aimed his gun in Jamie's direction, maintaining the posture of shooting if something unusual happened, and at the same time said silently to Agent Phil beside him.

"No, of course not..."

Hearing Agent Zhou's question, Agent Phil first shook his head in denial, and he raised his gun in coordination.

The expression on his face was not determined at the beginning, but hesitantly said: "It may have mentioned the lyrics of dropping the crown (head), but that only refers to the past history, not the present, who would To think he'd literally lose his head."

On the stage, this kind of scene where you lose your head after a word of disagreement is extremely shocking even to Agent Phil.

"Damn, they ruined my good memory of Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill, which I kinda liked."

……

"Now, do you know how the 'game' is played, guest?"

Turning the wooden eyes, he scanned the headless body on the ground.

Jamie turned his head, looked at Amanda aside, and asked with his mouth open.

"It seems that the rules of this 'game' are a bit complicated, and we plan to take another look."

Facing Jamie's questioning, Spike spoke and continued to make excuses.

Hearing Spike's answer, the wooden eyes in Jamie's eye sockets rolled wildly, just when Amanda thought he would refuse.

The opponent turned his head back again, and continued the next round of 'game'.

"Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon (the dish ran away with the spoon)..."

It was still a nursery rhyme, and it sounded amidst the monotonous singing of everyone on the stage without any ups and downs.

But, this time, there was no sense of humor in his heart.

Because, the head of the previous wrongdoer was at her feet, repeating the lyrics of the previous nursery rhyme.

"Could it be that we really want to play 'games' with them?"

The lyrics of nursery rhymes kept ringing in her ears, and Amanda looked at the gloomy crowd in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of oppression kept emerging in her heart, forcing her to question Spike beside her.

"Didn't you find out?"

Facing Amanda's inquiry, Spike's eyes stayed on Jamie in the 'game', and he turned his head close to Amanda's ear and replied.

"Since entering the wooden house, all the people have been repeating their actions, except for one person."

Amanda's ability to become the captain of the BSI team is naturally not incapable.

After hearing Spike's reminder, she immediately reacted and looked at Jamie in front of her.

Indeed, as Spike said, the only person who has been talking to BSI since the beginning is Jamie.

Even, Jamie was the only one present who had gone up to the second floor.

"You mean, Jamie is grotesque?!"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Facing Amanda's speculation, Spike did not give a definite answer.

He looked up at Jamie and everyone who were still playing the 'game', and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Amanda: "Wait a minute, we will join the game, when the time comes..."

"you sure?"

Hearing what Spike said in her ear, Amanda couldn't help but look at him and said.

"Believe me, I'm more experienced with grotesques than you are."

Hearing Spike's sworn answer, Amanda didn't say anything else, she just looked at the other's smiling face, especially at the corners of his slightly drooping eyes, and then nodded her agreement.

"Okay, thank you for your demonstration."

Seeing Amanda nodding in response, Spike immediately turned around and clapped his hands to interrupt the ongoing 'game' process.

Looking at Jamie's wooden eyes, Spike said with an unchanged expression.

"We already know exactly how this 'game' is played, and we can't wait to be a part of it."

The wooden eyes in the eye sockets kept turning back and forth on Spike and Amanda. Jamie twisted his stiff neck and took a step back slightly. At the same time, the crowd who were clapping and singing nursery rhymes on the stage also stopped With his own movements, he stepped forward and moved to give up a position, looking at the two of them.

Because of Spike's interruption, they didn't decide the loser of this round, so only one of the two joined the game.

In their empty eyes, Spike stepped forward without hesitation and joined them.

Turning their heads and putting their eyes back in front of their eyes, they raised their hands and were about to continue the unfinished song of the previous round.

But Spike spoke again: "Actually, since there are new players entering the arena, I personally think it's not appropriate to sing the previous nursery rhymes. Maybe we should choose a new nursery rhyme and start over. This is good for all of us. It's fairer to say."

Faced with Spike's frequent interruption of the 'game', everyone on the stage, including Jamie, turned their heads and looked at him firmly.

Sensing the abnormal atmosphere in front of her, Amanda subconsciously stretched her hand towards her waist.

"Your suggestion is correct, guest."

Fortunately, the worst did not happen.

After meeting Spike's eyes for a few seconds, Jamie averted his eyes again, and those looking at him faded away.

"Well, let's get started. I'll sing the first line first."

Hearing Jamie's answer, Spike's originally calm expression also relaxed a little. Obviously, the previous scene was not completely sure even for him.

After confirming that Jamie is following the rules of the 'game', Spike speaks first, singing the first line of the nursery rhyme: "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe..."

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe.

It is another well-known nursery rhyme song, which is often used as a nursery rhyme when children play games.

Start at random, and then ask someone to pick up the song until the next person can't catch the nursery rhyme.

After playing the beginning, Spike sang the nursery rhyme lightly, while raising his finger and circling around the people in front of him, as if he was choosing the next target to pick up the nursery rhyme, but his eyes were on the stage not far away. Amanda gestured.

Receiving Spike's gaze, Amanda took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, Spike was seen to stop his constantly moving fingers.

With a slight turn, he aimed it at himself.

"Catch a tiger by the toe..."

He chose the next person to sing, and it was himself.

And at the same time that Spike pointed at him, Amanda, who was watching silently on the stage, turned around without hesitation and ran towards the audience.

　Thanks to Mr. Xiong Roger for the reward of 1500 starting coins.
