Between life and death [unlimited]

The salty sea breeze slowly blows the long hair behind him, and then, together with the sticky air near the equator, it sticks to Jiang Lai's delicate and cold face.

He looked at the young man smiling brightly in the photo, and found that his pupils looked abnormally dark.

——Like the night that devours everything.

The dark and dull night has been endowed with mysterious colors by people since ancient times.

Most of the grotesque legends and myths, as well as the endless ancient stories, quietly sprouted in this silent and thought-provoking environment.

Many famous murder cases in human history, although they may have occurred in different corners of the world, they often have a common feature, that is, most of the crimes are committed at night-it seems to be at night, when people are depressed. The original sin deep in people's hearts will be ready to move, and the darkness seems to be invisible, providing a solid "protective color" for these criminals.

However, the dark and dark night is also very charming and attractive while being somewhat dangerous.

Things that are familiar to us during the day seem to be shrouded in a hazy veil at night.

The silhouette is vaguely like a human floor lamp, some weird leather sofas that look like giants, or huge sideboards that look like black holes that can swallow people... It seems that they have entered a strange and strange ancient country by mistake. The things here are different from us. The appearance seen during the day is not exactly the same. "Alice in Wonderland" is about this feeling.

Whenever night falls and all the lights go out, occasionally there will be an illusion that the end is coming.

Even this small island known as "holiday paradise" is no exception.

No matter how colorful and bright the scenery here looks on weekdays, once the time comes to night, the sun that illuminates everything in the world sinks below the sea level, and this place will also be completely shrouded in darkness.

And those original evils hidden in a certain corner, like the flexible tentacles of an octopus at the bottom of the deep sea, are beginning to move around...

By the time Jiang Lu and Si Yufeng went back, everyone had already packed their luggage and bedding.

I saw that the originally spacious living room on the first floor was now covered with white mattresses. With the help of Uncle Bai, mattresses were being moved out of everyone's house one after another.

Because Zhang Jian was going to sleep with the "ladies and sisters" tonight, he seemed particularly excited, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

But when he saw Jiang Lu and Si Yufeng walking in side by side, he still didn't forget his persistent idea of ​​wanting to match them up, so he joked to Si Yufeng: "Hey, Xiaofeng, the two of you Where did you go just now behind your back?"

If he heard this normally, Si Yufeng might blushed for a while, but because the photo Jiang Li found was too shocking, Si Yufeng just raised his head, forced a smile at Zhang Jian, who was kindly matched, and replied: "I didn't go anywhere...we just walked outside."

He didn't tell anyone what he and Jiang Xun had just discovered, but chose to hide it on purpose.

As for why Si Yufeng did this, he mainly has two purposes: one is to avoid scaring the snake, perhaps the "true murderer" is hidden among the crowd, and the murderer may be a human or a ghost; Zhang Jian said that he probably couldn't help much, but instead added some psychological pressure to disciple Zhang Jian.

"... Shall we go to pack things too?" Jiang Lai suddenly made a sound, interrupting Si Yufeng's original train of thought.

Si Yufeng immediately came back to his senses, nodded to his teammate and said, "Oh, yes."

In fact, when it comes to packing things, Jiang Lai and Si Yufeng have nothing to take away.Only those female NPCs (okay, maybe Shen Yingying included) were so excited that they looked like they were going "camping" instead of "refugeing" tonight, so they moved all their mattresses to the living room to go.

But they are not real girls, the two elders really don't need to sleep on any mattress at night, a quilt is enough for them.Moreover, compared with the time when Jiang Shui was performing missions in the real world, this condition is already very happy now!

Therefore, when everyone in this mission has settled their bedding, the living room on the first floor is a hilly landscape with "undulating" and "patchwork"—the tall ones are those that were carried out and placed on the ground. This is like a "hill" mattress, and the lower ones are naturally those with only one layer of bedding.

If the person sleeping on the mattress is sandwiched between two mattresses, there will definitely be an illusion of being in a "basin" when sleeping at night.

Let’s not show this interesting picture, let’s talk about where everyone who is still “lingering” sleeps tonight.

As the only two "men" in this mission - Uncle Bai and PD Shen, they were naturally arranged at both ends of the huge sleeping team.Uncle Bai was in charge of the night watch, and everyone took shifts with him every hour, but because Shen Yingying was a "fake" man, Jiang Lai took the initiative to change sleeping positions with her.

Therefore, now it has become Jiang Li and Uncle Bai, the security guard, sleeping next to each other. Starting from the right of Jiang Shang in the middle, there are Si Yufeng, Zhang Jian, Shen Yu, Shen Yingying, Huajing's mother, Huajing, and Cinderella. , Bai Xue, Uncle Bai.

Of course, it is still inconvenient for men and women to live together, but now everyone has to live in this way for safety reasons, and there is still a not-so-short distance between men and women.

Simply put, the living room on the first floor of this villa is very spacious, so it can just lie down for the ten draft members who seem to be sleeping in the Datong bunk during the collective work of the commune.

After everyone washed up in turn, the time soon came to ten o'clock near midnight.

The weather outside today seems to be not very good, there are dark clouds for thousands of miles, and the moon hanging in the sky behind the clouds cannot be seen.The lights in the villa are bright, but in the dark night, it looks like a lonely island in the wind and rain.

Seeing this terrifying scene, almost all the women present shrank into their quilts with some fear, wrapped their bodies tightly with warm quilts, and only dared to show their heads outside.

After everyone went to bed, Bai Xue found that Uncle Bai next to her wanted to turn off the lights, so she quickly stopped her and said, "How about... let's not turn off the lights tonight..."

Her voice sounded a little weak, coupled with that pure face like a lotus flower, she looked very pitiful.

When Uncle Bai heard Bai Xue's words, he just looked back at her, the look in his eyes was not real, and seeing that the others had no objections, he also agreed to the request.

So everyone also planned to keep the lights on for the next few nights, trying to survive the last few difficult nights.

Although Jiang Lai is not asleep yet, his mind is still half asleep.

He was still thinking about the clues that the mission had been discovered.Why did the victim, the young PD, appear in the first place?

——Could it be that the real culprit is actually him who has turned into a ghost?This mission is just a simple supernatural event?

But Jiang Xun felt that this answer was a bit too simple.After all, it can be seen from the clues that the players have discovered now, as well as the death pattern of the NPC, that this mission is not just as simple as a supernatural event.

If it's just a supernatural event, wouldn't it be enough for the system to directly release the mission to let the players live to the end?Why bother to put on such a talent show?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xun, who was in trouble, couldn't help rubbing his brows, thinking that it would be great if he had Si Yufeng's strong logical thinking mind.

Since the clue of the PD couldn't be figured out, Jiang Xun began to think about the non-criminal movie that Shen Yingying and Zhang Jian mentioned in the morning, "Seven Deadly Sins".

Shen Yingying's "gluttony" was obvious, as well as the two NPCs who died before, the characteristics of "selfishness" and "greed" in them were also easy to spot.This shows that the people related to this mission—whether NPC or player, will have a very prominent factor in their personality or behavior.

Jiang Xun couldn't help thinking again: I don't know what kind of sin I will be?Cold and ruthless, or murderous?And his teammate - Si Yufeng, who knows what crimes he will be charged with?

Perhaps this crime should be inseparably related to the real him hidden under the mask...

Not long after everyone lay down, Shen Yu heard a burst of even breathing from his side - it should be from his sister.

Shen Yingying was a little tired from recording VLOGs during the day, so she fell asleep quickly at night even with the lights on.

It was also because Shen Yingying fell asleep that Shen Yu dared to take advantage of the bright light above his head to unscrupulously look at the face that he hadn't looked at for two days, which was exactly like his youthful face.

As everyone knows, this scene happened to be seen by the "careful people" present, and they quietly remembered it in their hearts.

But not everyone has such a good sleep quality like Shen Yingying.

Maybe it's because she's a little scared, or maybe it's because the lights above are too bright, so Huajing can't sleep right now.

She heard the sound of rustling, tossing and turning just like herself, from all around her, so Hua Jing whispered to everyone: "I can't seem to fall asleep..."

Then she tried to suggest again: "Why don't you go to bed later... Why don't we play something now?"

Zhang Jian, who had trouble falling asleep, was naturally insomnia in this bright environment, so after hearing Huajing's proposal, he immediately raised his hands in favor.

"it is good!"

At this time, Bai Xue, who was also not asleep, also asked, "But... what should we play?"

"How about Truth or Dare?" Hua Jing sat up and put forward her suggestion to everyone with a smile.

Although Zhang Jian really wanted to play some more exciting games with these young ladies, he is also a character with integrity and a bottom line, so he did not raise any objections to the somewhat too simple game Hua Jing chose—— However, he secretly thought in his heart: It is said that everything should not be rushed, and besides...whoever said "Truth or Dare" can't be thrilling?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jian poked Si Yufeng who was lying next to him, wanting to pull him to join and play with everyone.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng...don't pretend to be asleep, I know you haven't fallen asleep yet! Call Jiang Li to play with us~"

In fact, Si Yufeng was also a little tired today, but he couldn't bear Zhang Jian's "torture", so he finally had no choice but to agree: "I will accompany you by myself, senior...or, let Jiang Xun continue to sleep."

"How can that work?!"

Zhang Jian thought to himself: It's better for labor and management to wait for an opportunity to match the two of you. As the protagonists, you must join me!

Then he tried to jump over Si Yufeng, and continued to stab Gu Jiangshang, trying to get him up to participate in the game.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Jian could do anything, Jiang Lai sat up from the bed on his own initiative.

"I haven't played it before." Just when Zhang Jian thought that Jiang Xun was going to refuse, he heard him say in the next second: "But you can try."

Si Yufeng next to him immediately widened his eyes, and looked back in disbelief at his teammate, who had never liked to be lively—obviously, he didn't expect Jiang Xun to take the initiative to say "I want to try".

Is this person really the taciturn Jiang Lai they knew?

Shen Yingying, who is extremely playful, can tenaciously wake up anytime she hears words like "play" or "game" even in her sleep.

So at the end of the day, except for Huajing's mother and Uncle Bai, the other eight people joined the impromptu "bedtime game" tonight.

Everyone sat in a circle.Si Yufeng was still beside Jiang Xun, and Huajing, who was taking the lead in playing games, was on the other side.

Because there were a lot of people participating, everyone put eight playing cards in the middle, and Si Yufeng explained the specific rules of the game to Jiang Shang.In fact, it is very simple. The person who is unlucky to draw a "monster card" in each round of the game is the object of punishment. The punishment content can choose "truth" or "big risk".

In the first round, Huajing took the lead in drawing cards, followed by Jiang Xun in order. When the unlucky ghost of this round was revealed, it was actually Cinderella.

Cinderella, who can have fun just by looking at it, brushed her hair on her chest, and boldly said to everyone: "I am willing to tell the truth or take a big risk, you can say whatever you want!"

However, because it was the first round of the game, everyone was not very relaxed. After Cinderella finished speaking, no one asked any questions, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

In the end, brother Zhang Jian came out to smooth things over, "Let me choose the punishment content."

Although Zhang Jian is very excited to play games with the young ladies, he has a character of "intention but not courage". If he is asked to take the initiative to do something to those beautiful sisters, he will be too shy to talk He couldn't even tell, so in order to warm up the scene, he chose "true words".

"You... what are your measurements?"

However, after Cinderella heard this question, she sighed with emotion: "That's it? Can this be considered a problem? It's too simple! We are in the draft, and measurements are not a secret to us at all..."

But she still answered truthfully: "96, 67, 102."

Zhang Jian took a sneak look at Cinderella's protruding bust, and suddenly the base of his ears turned red, and the nosebleed almost didn't flow down directly.However, after reading it, he immediately lowered his head - he looked very innocent.

Soon the second round of the game began, and this time the "unlucky ghost" was Bai Xue.

I only heard her say weakly: "I will choose the truth..." She still looked harmless to humans and animals.

This time Cinderella was afraid that everyone would not let go, so she rushed to ask, "Is your first night still there?"

Sure enough, Bai Xue, who didn't expect to be asked such a private question, was obviously taken aback, and her body moved a little unnaturally, "It's a bit too private... But, of course mine is still there..."

Jiang Lai, who is familiar with human micro-expressions and body language, can of course see that Bai Xue lied just now, but what makes him feel strange is that when Bai Xue said it, the security guard behind her, Uncle Bai, kept looking straight at her with strange eyes. look at her.

Uncle Bai doesn't have much contact with the players. He only appears every time there is a murder case and everyone needs help. His personality seems to be rather boring.

Why did he suddenly look at Bai Xue with this look?Jiang Xun was puzzled by this discovery.

While Jiang Lai was thinking, the third round of the game soon began.This time the "unlucky ghost" was finally Shen Yingying among the players.

Like the other two just now, she chose the truth.

But Shen Yingying, as a member of the program team, naturally, everyone couldn't embarrass her too much.So this time it was Huajing who asked her: "Does Shen PD have someone he likes now?" Sure enough, under the oppression of power, the question became very simple.

Shen Yingying looked at Jiang Lai, who was some distance away from her, and was about to answer "Yes", when she suddenly noticed her brother's gaze, and temporarily changed her words in a panic: "Yes...no, I don't have anyone I like."

After hearing this, Cinderella made a fuss, and teased, "PD Shen obviously wanted to say yes, why did he deny it in the end? No one asked who you liked, so don't be so shy~"

"...I said no, but I didn't!" Shen Yingying moved a little unnaturally closer to Bai Xue, as if she wanted to stay away from her brother.

"Okay, okay, if Shen PD said there is no, then there is no, let's continue~"

In the end Huajing came out to smooth things over.After another round of card drawing, it was Si Yufeng who actually drew the ghost card this time.

When the results were announced, Zhang Jian almost cheered out of excitement.Even Jiang Xun glanced at him sideways, and found that Zhang Jian's face was almost written with a pen, "See how I can fix you" in big characters.

So this time it is Zhang Jian who is rushing to punish Si Yufeng - he very much hopes that Xiaofeng can be bolder and choose a big adventure, and the game he chooses will definitely not live up to Xiaofeng's expectations!

Although he saw Zhang Jian's frequent hinting eyes, Si Yufeng finally chose the punishment of the truth like the previous three people.

Zhang Jian once again gave Si Yufeng a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said seductively: "Are you sure...you don't choose a big adventure? The game is very fun~"

After receiving the hint from his friend, Si Yufeng said again without much hesitation: "I choose the truth."

Zhang Jian: "..."

I really want to pry open Si Yufeng's head to see, what is it made of inside?With such a high IQ, why doesn't he need to pursue the right place of others? !

After carefully searching the question in his mind, the expression on Zhang Jian's face suddenly changed from cloudy to clear, and he asked Si Yufeng with a smile on his face: "If, I mean, if... let you be present at the scene except for Shen PD. Among the seven 'women', choose one, the person you want to sleep with the most...Who would you choose?"

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere at the scene immediately began to boil.

"This question is fine! I like it, and 'Lala' is too strong~" Cinderella gave Zhang Jian a wink, Zhang Jian immediately scratched his short hair, and laughed innocently as if embarrassed.

The moment Si Yufeng heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then his palms were sweating a lot due to nervousness.

Si Yufeng felt his blood boil when he thought that the person he "most wanted to sleep with" might still be sitting next to him without knowing it at this moment.

He quietly saw from the corner of his eye that Jiang Lai, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a conservative long-sleeved trousers-style pajamas.

With his full attention, he could even see clearly that the pajamas were made of soft and silky satin fabric, and the pearly pajamas were a little loosely attached to Jiang Lai's body.

Immediately, Jiang Lu's original perfect figure was obsessed in his mind, and the picture of himself slowly peeling off that layer of cover - without the obstruction of the underwear, the figure full of male hormones was completely displayed in front of him...

A mouthful of saliva swallowed involuntarily down his throat.

He suddenly discovered that—no matter what Jiang Lai's gender was, he seemed to have a fatal sexual attraction to him.
