Strange story player

"Boom——"

It's raining.

Qin Manjiang looked at the dense raindrops outside the window, and his doubts became more and more intense.

Although Jiang Du didn't prompt anything, Qin Manjiang did realize a problem after talking to him.

If you want to end this game, you must find the hidden rules, but whether it is the curse suffered by team players or the ghosts encountered by single players, they all mean one thing.

There is more than one ghost in this strange story.

But are they...really ghosts?

Although they are indeed ghosts in terms of their abilities and degree of terror, from a fundamental logical point of view, it does not make sense.

All the ghosts and curses that have appeared so far clearly have the ability to kill players directly. They have even reached the players, but they strangely let them go.

Whether it's following a ghost or being haunted by a curse, these are more roundabout and troublesome methods.

This time, the ghosts can sense the player's position and can appear around the player at will. Logically speaking, this has already sentenced them to death.

However, this time the strange talk about [Wedding Dress] was obviously so weird that no solution could be found, but no player was "killed at first sight".

This is inconsistent with the purpose of ghosts.

Fundamentally speaking, all evil ghosts have only one purpose, which is to drag humans into hell, into the same endless hell as where they live.

But this time, everything he had experienced so far made Qin Manjiang vaguely feel that the purpose of the "ghost" was not to kill people at all.

If you think so, then the real person behind the scenes is not a ghost. In other words, except for Shen Hong who is definitely dead, is Shen Hong's father or Shen Hong's husband really dead?

The same goes for the opening statement. The opening statement of this strange story does not reveal much information, but you can see that the first half and the second half of it are two perspectives.

The first half is from Shen Hong's perspective. She puts on her wedding dress and she doesn't want to die.

The second half is from Liu Junyan's perspective. He is holding the dead Shen Hong, stroking her bones, and murmuring, "It's too late, it's not too late..."

In other words, Liu Junyan was probably not dead at all.

He is the creator of this strange story, no... he is the creator of all these horrific phenomena!

Just tonight, the ghost has appeared several times near various players. It has too many opportunities to strike, but it has never done so.

Ghosts will definitely kill humans. There are only two reasons why they don't do that. One is that they can't do it, and the other is... they are being controlled. Someone is ordering them. They can only curse but not kill.

And there is only one person who would make such a request...

Liu Junyan!

Although I don’t know what happened in the last round of the wedding dress game, there is no doubt that all the players died after the game officially started.

In other words, the period before the game officially starts is a ritual!

Without the information provided by Nie Yunzhen, everyone would probably be the same as the players in the first round, seeing "a wedding" when they were alone, and then encountering the female ghost in the red wedding dress.

The consequences of doing this may not be life-threatening for the time being, but they will be haunted by ghosts that they cannot see. Qin Manjiang cannot yet know under what conditions the ghost attacks will be triggered and the player will die.

But this time with Nie Yunzhen's information, when players of the opposite sex form a team, the result will be different. The two will not be haunted by ghosts, but the male player's vitality will gradually drain away and his flesh and blood will shrink.

Female players will gradually start to look like female ghosts...

No wonder Nie Yunzhen’s pendulum props would consider this information to be beneficial to the players.

Indeed, if you think about it from another way, it will be very clear. This is simply a concrete representation of the word "ritual", but the concrete objects are only two players.

One sacrificed his life force, the other sacrificed his body.

However... From a time perspective, if a single player is haunted by a ghost and does not take any unnecessary actions, he can survive until the game officially starts, which is the night when the ritual is completed, but at that moment, everything is irreversible.

Players of the opposite sex who face each other in a team, although they first receive the hint of the "ritual" in form, female players can also see the scene of "her" during the process of becoming a female ghost, but the time is greatly shortened. .

Whether it is the speed at which female players turn into female ghosts or the speed at which male players lose their lives, they cannot last until the night when the game officially starts.

Qin Manjiang himself can also feel that at this rate of loss of life force, it will almost be the limit by tomorrow night, no... It is already the early morning of the next day, and tonight is already considered.

In other words, the second option obtains more information and gives the player a direction, but the time is greatly shortened.

The wind and rain continued outside the window, Qin Manjiang's fingers subconsciously tapped on the back of his hand, and he made one thing clear.

As long as players like myself do nothing, or... don't go to sensitive places related to this strange story, ghosts will not show up and attack.

The ghost wants the player to die, but what Liu Junyan wants is not the death of the player, but the curse!

That Liu Junyan is manipulating some kind of curse and devouring the player's life and soul through some kind of ritual. He wants to bring Shen Hong back to life... He is playing with the real taboo of life and death!

Wait, so that means Liu Junyan wants to protect the players before the game actually starts?

An incredible idea came to Qin Manjiang's mind.

"who!"

In the heavy rain, Fan Cheng, who was hiding behind the billboard, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck!

He trembled with fright, subconsciously growled a threat, turned around and punched behind him.

However... what appeared in the rain was not a ghost, but a... person?

A thin man in black with a white face and beardless face, an ordinary appearance, was holding an umbrella and standing behind him, tilting his head back slightly to avoid Fan Cheng's attack.

"Sir, are you okay?"

He seemed confused as to why there was a naked man wearing nothing on the street.

Fan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the man, shook his head and said, "I'm fine...Thank you."

"You will get sick in this weather. Come with me."

The thin man handed over half of the umbrella to block the rain from Fan Cheng.

Fan Cheng didn't expect that he would meet a kind-hearted person. But at this time, it was indeed fate that a passerby would appear on the street.

It's not an option to stay naked like this, so it's better to leave this place as soon as possible.

He stood up and walked into the umbrella, and saw a car behind him. It looked like it was old, like a second-hand car.

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you, brother."

The thin man shook his head and walked towards the car with Fan Cheng.

It wasn't until he got into the car that Fan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't deserve to die...

"My name is Fan Cheng, brother, what's your name?"

Fan Cheng asked.

The thin man stopped adjusting the seat and rearview mirror for a moment, then said:

"Just call me Xiao Shen."
