Played by the devil in the palm of his hand

What Jun Ye is best at is giving a candy after a whip. Seeing Xu Chi's complexion, Jun Ye immediately softened his tone and said softly, "Actually, I came here to give you a gift."

Xu Chi hadn't forgotten how he was played with just now, and immediately became vigilant, without asking what the gift was, he directly refused: "I don't want it."

"I think you should need it." Jun Ye didn't care about the other party's rejection, and took out an exquisite champagne-colored paper box with exquisite golden rose embossing printed on it.

Jun Ye handed the gift box to Xu Chi and motioned him to open it.

Xu Chi glanced at Jun Ye suspiciously, and tapped the box lid with his knuckles, "It's not a time bomb inside, is it?"

Jun Ye couldn't help laughing, "No."

Xu Chi muttered, "If it's really a bomb, we'll die together."

He slowly opened the cover, and what came into view was a pure black dagger, military-style, similar in size and shape to the original one, fixed on the white velvet cloth by a thin ribbon, and the contrast between black and white was sharp. .

The arc of this military bayonet is very beautiful, full of strength and murderous intent.That kind of black is very strange, without any reflection, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is pitch black, like a black hole that cannot reflect colored light.

Only the blade has a two-millimeter-wide blue edge, which glows faintly, like a crystal blue water flowing slowly.Xu Chi couldn't help rubbing it with his thumb, it felt like some kind of strange metal.

And just by touching it lightly, the pulp of the finger bleeds, which shows that it is extremely sharp.

Xu Chi couldn't move his eyes away, and murmured, "This is too handsome."

The next second he suddenly reacted and shook his head violently, "No, I don't want it!"

Jun Ye smiled, "This dagger is given to you as an apology, isn't the previous one useless? By the way, its material is special and can cause substantial damage to the waiter, but if you don't want to accept it , I don't force it..."

While talking, Jun Ye gestured to take the box back.

Xu Chi reached out and snatched it away, quickly took it for himself, and slapped him angrily, "How can you take back what you gave away, it's so rude!"

Jun Ye suppressed his laughter, and didn't expose him, but watched Xu Chi play with the dagger with a conniving and doting look.

Xu Chi held it in his hand, weighed it, and found that its weight and shape were the most suitable for his combat habits.Taking a closer look, the blade and the handle of the blade are seamlessly fitted together, as if they were polished from a single piece of material.

In Xu Chi's words, it is Marilyn Monroe in the eyes of men.

Xu Chi gestured twice with the dagger, then suddenly raised his eyes to look dangerously at Jun Ye, and asked tentatively, "Can it hurt you?"

Jun Ye regretfully replied: "Not really."

Xu Chi was more regretful than him, "Okay..."

"..." Jun Ye said helplessly: "Baby, do you know that your behavior is called revenge?"

Xu Chi was not polite at all, "You compensated me for the dagger, it's not a debt of gratitude, at best it's a fair balance."

He inserted the dagger back into the armed belt around his waist, patted it casually, and turned to leave.

Jun Ye reminded him tepidly behind him, "Tomorrow is Monday."

Xu Chi paused.

He knew what Jun Ye meant. Tomorrow Monday, the precious seven-day holiday came to an end, and the inevitable opening of the third game also represented the appearance of blood and casualties.

And during these seven days, Xu Chi failed to recall any information about the name, which was wasted in vain.

Jun Ye leaned against the wall gracefully, and said meaningfully: "But after twelve o'clock tonight, the victim will appear."

Xu Chi opened his eyes slightly, turned around and asked, "Victim? What do you mean? How can there be a victim in a game?"

"Because the next game is called 'Catch Jack'." Jun Ye explained unhurriedly, looking at him very softly, "Take it as a special treatment for you, and I will explain the rules of the game to you in advance. "

"You know Jack the Ripper, right? After midnight tonight, he will appear by your side and kill someone at random. As long as you can catch him, life or death, you will win."

"But there is a limit." Jun Ye raised his hand and compared the number 'three', Xu Chi frowned and asked, "Within three days?"

Jun Ye shook his head, "No, it was before he killed three people."

Xu Chi was terrified. Judging from Jun Ye's tone, did he plan to wait for the No. 1 victim to appear before explaining the rules of the game?

"In short, I wish you good luck." Jun Ye looked at him tenderly, and reminded half-truthfully, "Who knows who the Ripper will choose as his first prey, maybe it will be you."

His tone was very gentle and gentle, and he couldn't hear any threat. Xu Chi looked him up a few times, and then sneered, "Thank you for your kind words."

The old metal door was yanked open and slammed shut again, Xu Chi left without a word.

Jun Ye stood on the empty rooftop, the autumn wind blowing the hair on his temples and the hem of the windbreaker, he looked thoughtfully at the silhouette of the city in the distance, his eyes were cold, like a lake in midwinter.

……

Xu Chi quickly told everyone the rules of the third game, and seven people quickly gathered in Xu Chi's apartment.

Edward thought for a while, then hesitated, "Jack the Ripper...referring to the mysterious murderer who killed five prostitutes in London in 1888?"

Xu Chi flipped through a British detective novel and said casually, "Yes, it's still from your hometown."

Edward: "..."

"Jack the Ripper is notorious for his cruel modus operandi. He killed women by cutting their throats, and even opened their stomachs to take some internal organs." Charles said slowly, "Jack in this game Of course it will not be the real Ripper more than 100 years ago, but nine times out of ten, he will imitate that method of killing."

He glanced at Lin Xixi and Anna who were sitting on the sofa, and said cryptically, "The same goes for choosing who to kill."

Lin Xixi's face was pale as paper in an instant, and Anna pressed the back of her hand comfortingly.

Xu Chi interjected: "I don't think he will choose girls as prey. Jun Ye said that the rule is to catch Jack before he kills three people, but now there are only two girls, and there are not enough three?"

Charles glanced at him disapprovingly, clearly displeased at his disapproval.

Edward immediately came forward to reconcile the atmosphere, "Okay, anyway, each of the seven of us is dangerous and we can't take it lightly. Since Jack will appear from the early morning, let's all stay here tonight."

Several people have no objection. At this time, it is the best policy to concentrate the combat power. No matter how many internal rifts there are, when there are enough terrifying enemies outside, they must be united for the negligible survival rate.

Xu Chi looked at the red sunset outside the window, his eyes glowed orange.

"Then do as Edward said. Anna and Lin Xixi will sleep in my room tonight, and the men will stay in the living room and take turns keeping vigil." Xu Chi closed the window with his hand to cut off the cold wind outside.

He casually threw the novel on the dining table, and said lightly, "I'll be on shift one."

The autumn night fell quickly. At eleven o'clock, Anna and Lin Xixi went back to the bedroom to sleep. Xu Chi specially told them to keep the door and lights open, lock the windows, and not to sleep too hard.

This is the sixth floor. Although Xu Chi didn't think that Jack the Ripper could climb up the drainage pipe, he must be careful, especially when his life is at stake.

Li Wu cleaned up the messy utility room, set up a simple camp bed, and let his brother sleep in it.

Coco Lee was quite embarrassed, and said that he would have to watch the night soon, so it would not be good to go to bed to sleep.

Li Wu waved his hand, "Don't watch, I'll do two shifts, you go to bed quickly, you may get a headache if you don't get enough sleep."

Coco Li hesitated for a moment, looked at the single bed, and suggested: "Why don't we squeeze together first, set an alarm clock, and I'll watch the night with you when the time comes."

The roster of several of them is like this, Xu Chi is on duty from eleven o'clock to one o'clock, Edward and Charles are on duty at the same time from one o'clock to three o'clock when it is the most sleepy, Li Wu is on duty from three o'clock to five o'clock, five o'clock It's Coco Lee until seven o'clock.

Coco Li took out her mobile phone and set the alarm clock for three o'clock, and said to Li Wu: "That's it, you sleep with me, and we will be on duty together at that time."

Li Wu hesitated, "Alright."

Anyway, as soon as the alarm clock rang, I would press it, and then I would get up on duty alone, and just let Coco Lee go back to sleep.

He turned his head and greeted Xu Chi, "Then I'll go in and sleep."

Xu Chi waved his hand, indicating that he knew.

As soon as the door was closed, only Edward, Charles, and Xu Chi were left in the living room.

Edward and Charles are not pampered people, not to mention mercenaries who have been fighting in the field for a long time. Charles, the big boss, is also a person who often goes out in the field. In any case, sleeping on a soft sofa is better than sleeping in a swamp full of snakes and insects. sleep much better.

They both had to be on duty at one o'clock, so they fell asleep quickly. Xu Chi walked over to cover Edward with a blanket, and then sat at the dining table, holding Anna's curling comb, and gave the little dog a different one. Brush to pass the time.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't I give you a name?" Xu Chi put the little dog on the dining table, looked around, and laughed, "You're so dark, I'll call you mine."

The little dog wagged its tail and barked.

Xu Chi immediately said with a grimace: "Don't yell. If you want to follow me, you have to obey the rules, you know? Sitting, standing, walking, shaking hands, and turning around are all basic skills. Come on, shake hands first."

Xu Chi stretched out his hand to it, and Lei Lei looked at him inexplicably, then leaned over and licked his palm.

"...Why are you so stupid? Even more stupid than Lin Xixi."

Xu Chi rubbed the dog's head, and was about to say something when the smile on the corner of his mouth froze suddenly, and then Lei also raised his head, with his tail tucked between his hind legs uneasily.

The digital clock on the wall had reached [-]:[-] silently, Xu Chi was keenly aware that there was a vague smell of blood wafting in the air.

Fifteen minutes into the early hours of the morning, the first victim emerged.

Xu Chi's face remained unchanged, he stood up silently, and drew out the dagger from his waist.

His steps were very light, and there was almost no sound when he stepped on the floor. When he passed the sofa, he glanced down. seeped in.

Xu Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the indigo door.

The No.1 victim was not in the house, but outside? !

He has been guarding the living room all the time, who went out? !
