Chapter 6 6: The Chosen Sacrifice

Yu Qiu can still understand what Wang Xiaoyi said. After all, this world is full of too many weirdness and dangers. Even a person as powerful as a lamp-bearer who has awakened his power cannot guarantee his own safety 100%.

Not to mention protecting others while performing cleanup missions.

The two walked to the corner of the third floor one after another. There was an infrared device at the entrance of the store. Whenever someone entered, an electronic sound of "Welcome" would be played.

Yu Qiu looked around. The decoration of this script-killing shop was very new, and the style was very in line with the tastes of young people. The business should usually be good.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and she didn't notice any fluctuations in her mental power.

But to be honest, this was her first time playing script killing. Before, she had no spare money for entertainment activities. She could only indirectly experience the prosperity and fun of this city from the chats of her colleagues who worked together to carry dishes.

Just as she was sighing, a young man in fashionable clothes soon walked out of the store. He was tall, his skin was as white as snowflakes, and his facial features were three-dimensional and exquisite. When he walked towards her, he had a warm and healing smile on his face.

He is undoubtedly a handsome guy with a sense of atmosphere.

She saw that the young man was wearing a peaked cap with the word puppet printed on it. Based on her foreign language skills, she had no idea what the word meant.

"Oh! What a beautiful young lady, your eyes are like stars in the sky, the most beautiful ones I have ever seen!" When the young man saw Yu Qiu, he immediately praised her.

"My eyes?"

She considers herself to be an ordinary person in appearance, and her watery eyes are indeed relatively big, but they are not praised to the heavens.

She felt a little inexplicable. Maybe it was to attract money. People who opened a store and did business would say this when they met customers, right?

The young man didn't praise Wang Xiaoyi, probably because his appearance had no merit at all.

"Both of you, welcome. You are the guests of the group purchase of "The Ninth Sacrifice". Please come in quickly. The other four have already boarded the bus. The bus will start as soon as you two arrive."

The young man led Yu Qiu and the two into the innermost room. As soon as she entered, she felt that the decoration here was very eerie. The walls and tiles were all dark red, and there was no suspended ceiling. Instead, many winding pipes were exposed.

It looks very rough, which is in great contrast to the bright style of the lobby.

When she pushed the door open and entered, she saw two men and two women already sitting inside. They were all young people, and there was no mental fluctuation in them at all.

Yu Qiu felt that the environment here was normal but also revealed a hint of weirdness.

The young man also followed in, holding a stack of scripts in his hand. After closing the door, he handed the scripts to everyone in turn.

"Hello players, I am the owner of this store and part-time DM. This is a carpool book for six people, four college students and two newly arrived customers. You can get to know each other first, and then you can read the script. Please pay attention.

You can only watch the first prologue first.”

The young man said that his identity was DM. Yu Qiu asked Wang Xiaoyi privately, and then he learned that DM meant the host.

In the morning show she played, almost no one came to book early in the morning, so they were the only customers in the store. As the boss who had nothing to do for the time being, the young man played the role of DM.

Everything proceeds according to normal procedures.

The six people began to reveal their identities to each other, including the mysterious runaway princess, the sword-wielding guard who swore to follow the princess to the death, and the worried prince.

What Yu Qiu got was a script about the identity of a minister. As for Wang Xiaoyi, he was the most miserable. His identity was a sunny and cheerful boy with no sense of existence.

In the script of "The Ninth Sacrifice", eight people died inexplicably one after another. The eight corpses all showed a common feature, that is, they were missing part of their limbs.

Now, the murderer issued a notice and would select an unlucky guy from the six players to be the ninth person to be killed.

A part of the corpses of each of the nine people will be taken out, and the murderer will sew them together to form a brand new "stitched man", which will be used to sacrifice the devil who controls the dark power.

Yu Qiu had no intention of finding out the murderer in the script. Her mission was to clean up the mandrills that might appear in the area. As for the modus operandi in the script, the first thing she thought of was a book called "Astrology Murder Magic"

mystery novel.

As the plot continues to deepen, the identity of the murderer gradually becomes clear, and the young man as DM is also guiding a table of people to find clues.

In the second half of the process, Yu Qiu found that the atmosphere in the room was getting worse and worse.

She and Wang Xiaoyi were fine, but the four college students across from them were almost obsessed with finding the murderer.

"You are the murderer. You must have cut eight of them into pieces!"

One of the college girls stared at the red but lifeless eyes, pounced on another college boy, bit the boy's neck, and then brought out a bloody piece of meat, completely dyeing the girl's lips red.

The boy became furious and shouted, "I'm not the murderer, you are." He picked up a glass full of boiling water and hit the girl's head.

The four people completely lost their minds and struggled together, completely ignoring the two dumbfounded spectators sitting opposite them.

Suddenly, Yu Qiu's thigh was lightly pinched by the person next to him.

It's Wang Xiaoyi, his face is very serious.

"Newcomer, be careful. There is a problem with the four people on the other side."

Wang Xiaoyi took advantage of the commotion of college students arguing with each other to identify the murderer, lowered his head and whispered a warning to her.

Yu Qiu also nodded. She could clearly see that the pupils of the four people opposite her were dilated, their eyes were empty, and their language and logic were becoming increasingly confusing.

The most important thing is that she discovered that the tops of the four college students' heads all had an undetectable filament growing inexplicably, just like a fishing line. It was impossible to detect it unless you looked carefully.

Those filaments seem to control their behavior.

And the four people gradually showed weak mental power fluctuations!

Yu Qiu probably understood that the four college students had awakened and turned into mandrills.

It's just that they must have mutated just now, so their strength is very weak, and their mental power is almost zero. Their combat power is completely insufficient in front of Wang Xiaoyi.

She is now unable to use her powers and is no different from an ordinary person, so she still has to rely more on her teammates.

Just as she drew her neck back, she saw Wang Xiaoyi tapping her watch lightly with her finger, almost without noticing the small movement.

At the same time, the watch of George Han who was in the office in the distance already displayed the message he had passed on.

"We found the mandrills. The four have just awakened. They are not a big threat and I can deal with them independently."

This is the message sent by Wang Xiaoyi with a tap of his finger.

Han Han nodded silently. The incident was within his expectation. According to early observations, the mandrills in the script killing shop were not very powerful to begin with. However, for the sake of the safety of the masses, he immediately ordered Commander Liu to dispatch with the soldiers of the police department.

, evacuate the crowds in the shopping mall.

Yu Qiu touched his back with his left hand. Before setting off, he brought a dagger to his waist in case of emergency.

She saw that Wang Xiaoyi's skin was gradually turning silvery-white and she knew that he was about to start cleaning up.

Just then.

The young DM who was standing nearby and presiding over the entire game leaned over and said to Wang Xiaoyi: "Player No. 6, now is your time to solve the puzzle. Please go to the secret room at the crime scene to look for suspicious points and find the murderer for everyone.

Provide clues."

The DM also specifically emphasized that Player No. 6, a cheerful and cheerful boy who played a role in the whole game, turned out to be the key to solving the mystery of the murderer.

Wang Xiaoyi originally wanted to refuse. He had already confirmed that the Mandrill Clan target had appeared, and he only needed to clear it out to complete the mission.

But then he discovered that a sudden change occurred!

In addition to the four high school students in front of the scene, stronger mental power fluctuations came from the secret room where the mystery was solved.

Is there a fifth mandrill?!

Wang Xiaoyi didn't dare to slack off. He had to go to the secret room to check in person before he could rest assured.

At the same time, Yu Qiu discovered that the DM's behavior was very abnormal. Even though the four college students had been beaten to a bloody head, the DM did not make any move to stop him, and there was no look of fear on his face.

But what makes people confused is that he was the only one at the scene who had no mental fluctuations, which proved that he had not awakened!

Just when she was hesitating, Wang Xiaoyi said to her, "Be careful, stay here and don't go anywhere." Then he got up and followed DM into the deep secret room.

"Little Lizard Brother"

She was left alone to face four aliens who had confirmed the transformation of Mandrills. It was definitely a lie to say that she was not afraid.

Fortunately, the four people in front of him were still in the stage of scuffling with each other. Occasionally, one of them would be bitten with a mouthful of flesh and blood. Yu Qiu could only watch quietly, trying to remain transparent and not be noticed.

She didn't dare to run away because she couldn't guarantee that once she got up, she would attract the attention of the four people on the opposite side, causing her to be chased.

She also didn't have the ability to kill the four of them.

The only thing that can be done now is to hope that Wang Xiaoyi can successfully deal with the enemies in the secret room, and then return to clean up the four people in front of him.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no movement from the deep secret room.

About four or five minutes later, DM young man walked out of the secret room, and then he locked the door of the secret room.

Wang Xiaoyi was not followed behind him.

Yu Qiu suddenly felt that something was not going well. It is said that Wang Xiaoyi was an experienced lamp holder and should be familiar with various methods of the Mandrill Clan, so he would not be dealt with quietly like this.

However, the reality is that she and Wang Xiaoyi have indeed lost contact.

"Beautiful young lady, there are two things I need to tell you, good and bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

DM walked up to her slowly and raised his hand slightly. The movements of the four college students suddenly stopped in place.

The smile on his face was still so gentle, like the afternoon sun shining on the lawn.

However, Yu Qiu understood everything!

Being able to face the four mandrills without showing any signs of surprise, and being able to stop the movements of the four mandrills at will, can only mean one thing.

The real strange existence of this store is actually the handsome guy with a healing smile in front of her!

"Why, little sister, don't you make a choice? Then I'll tell you in turn."

DM saw Yu Qiu was stunned, and then said in sequence:

"The good news is, I know the mall has been evacuated and no innocent people will be implicated."

"The bad news is that the murderer of this scripted killing game finally chose you as the ninth target."

"Please feel extremely honored that you have been favored by the devil and become the ninth sacrificer!"
