The Inspector’s finger lightly tapped in the air, and a long table covered with a white lace tablecloth appeared in the courtyard.
His finger tapped on the table again, and ten black cards were seemingly summoned and distributed.
Bai Youwei received the number 3 card.
Wu Lili and Zhang Qi respectively got the numbers 7 and 10.
The numbers on the cards served only as the order for speech, without any reference significance.
No one knew what other people’s words were.
Bai Youwei looked at her own card and found it blank, without any words.
She didn’t know whether it was for confidentiality that the phrases would be revealed only when the game officially started.
Here, the Inspector began to announce the rules:
“Ten friends, each of you will receive two sets of different words. You will take turns describing the words you’ve got and, after one round, all ten will vote for the person whose word set is different from their own. The two with the most votes will be eliminated from the game.”
Everyone listened silently, unwilling to miss any detail.
The slender Inspector stood at the closest end of the table, casting a slender shadow and maintaining an elegant smile as he looked at the faces in front of him:
“There are three rules that you must pay attention to.
First, do not use any words from the phrase during the description process;
Second, do not use foreign languages, dialects, codes, etc. to transmit information;
Third, the game will end when there are only players with the same phrase left. Finally, the winning players will attend a party in the cabin.”
Shen MO frowned: “There are five spots. If there are not enough players when the game ends, what should we do?”
“Teammates automatically get resurrected.” The Inspector replied with a smile, “Players eliminated during the game are only temporarily eliminated. If their teammates eventually win, they will also get the chance to attend the party.”
After he spoke these words, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this rule meant that even if they were eliminated, they would not necessarily lose.
With his blue eyes, the Inspector glanced around at people’s faces, “Now, does everyone understand the rules? If you have any doubts, feel free to ask.” No one spoke.
Everyone was still digesting the information they had just received.
The Inspector raised the corner of his mouth, “Then let’s get started Everyone lowered their heads to look at their own cards.
Bai Youwei furrowed her brows because her card was still blank.
“Right.” The Inspector suddenly spoke again, “I almost forgot. Before the game starts, I need to explain the Ghost Rules.”
Everyone looked up at him with puzzled expressions.
“Among you, two people have no words on their cards.” The Inspector smiled and said, “The person who got the Wordless Card is the Ghost. The Ghost is free to form alliances with any team, but only one of the two ghosts can survive. The first Ghost to be eliminated does not have the right to be revived.” Bai Youwei:
“Alright, does anyone have any questions now?” asked the Inspector.
Bai Youwei wanted to curse.
If she asked questions now, wouldn’t it expose her as the ghost?!
She bit her lower lip, turned her head to look at Shen MO, said nothing, and gazed at him with a pitiful look in her eyes.
Shen MO slightly raised his eyebrows as if understanding the message in her eyes: Are you the Ghost?
The game doesn’t allow private communication, so Bai Youwei said nothing and turned back with a sullen pout.
Shen MO now realized: She is the Ghost.
He lowered his gaze to look at his own card, contemplating how he can form an alliance with her.
“The game begins now—
The Inspector looked to his right with a smile, “Number 1, please speak first..”
