I Only Like Your Character Settings

Zhou Ziheng turned on the light in the room, only to see Xia Xiqing who was leaning against the wall. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his lips were pale, his head was half down, and his chest heaved slightly.

For some reason, Zhou Ziheng would unconsciously connect him at this moment with the rose on the paper.

Suddenly, what Xia Xiqing said to him before appeared in his mind.

[I'm afraid of the dark. ]

[If there is a dark room in the future, just leave me if you don’t want to be dragged down. ]

What he said was true...

It turned out that he was really afraid of the dark.

Since the acquaintance, Xia Xiqing's image in Zhou Ziheng's heart was negative and strong, too cunning, too confident, and too smart. Such a person seems to have no weakness no matter what, but now, his weakness is exposed in front of him.

Zhou Ziheng couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, as if he had gained some special rights, and also seemed to have a little abnormal desire to protect.

The moment the word was born in his mind, Zhou Ziheng rejected it himself. He couldn't imagine how he connected a person like Xia Xiqing with the desire to protect.

Probably driven crazy by this perverted reality show.

Xia Xiqing leaned against the wall motionless, as if waiting to recover.

The clever and cunning villain is first out. For some reason, his mood was a little complicated.

It's not unexpected, because Xia Xiqing is so smart, and those who show their sharpness are always easy to get out. But Zhou Ziheng couldn't figure it out, why didn't he hide his clumsiness?

How did he know that Xia Xiqing was more than just not hiding his clumsiness? After the half-hour countdown started, Xia Xiqing almost tried his best to attract Shang Sirui's attention to himself, with the purpose of disrupting his original plan and allowing Zhou Ziheng to escape safely. .

Anyway, in his heart, as long as the killer doesn't win, he as the victim is not considered a loser.

Xia Xiqing propped one hand on the wall, slowly straightened up, and turned around to walk to the door.

"Hello…"

Xia Xiqing turned his head, did not meet his eyes, drooped wearily, put his slender index finger on his lips, and did not speak, his forehead hair was a bit messy, hanging down to the tip of his nose, covering the beautiful mole on the tip of his nose.

He has lost the right to speak.

Zhou Ziheng didn't speak any more, and followed him out of the study, through the bedroom to the living room.

Cen Cen, Ruan Xiao and Shang Sirui were all standing in the living room, Ruan Xiao had a serious expression on his face, as if he had expected this result, Cen Cen's expression was even uglier, and her eyes were floating on the two of them. , first looked at Xia Xiqing in front, and then at Zhou Ziheng behind Xia Xiqing.

Xia Xiqing felt that he had calmed down a little. He didn't want others to see his vulnerable side. To be honest, he didn't want to be seen even if the other party was Zhou Ziheng. more unwilling.

He raised the corner of his mouth, habitually showing a smile that shouldn't belong to a loser at all, and looked straight at Shang Sirui who "killed" him. The other party's performance simply exceeded the performance quality of an idol. Although he was a little dazed, he quickly regained his composure and made a look of astonishment, "Xi Qing, you..."

awesome. Xia Xiqing thought he was unlucky. He had always had a "smart disease". He was only interested in or guarded against smart people. The stupid ones were no different from pets in his eyes.

Bad habits are breeding grounds for failure.

But Xia Xiqing didn't feel that he had failed, as long as Zhou Ziheng could escape successfully, he would not lose.

Facing Shang Sirui's question, Xia Xiqing did not respond. He slowly raised his hand, pinched his index finger and thumb at the corner of his mouth, and gently pulled it to the other side to show that he remained silent. Then he calmly walked to the attendance bureau in the living room, and obediently stood in the small circle with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Ziheng didn't want to look at him.

His eyes moved first to the farthest dining table, then to the sofa, then to the rug, and finally to him.

It seems that if you go around like this, you are not looking at Xia Xiqing.

Xia Xiqing also looked at Zhou Ziheng, even tilted his head, and smiled at him with dazzling white teeth.

Zhou Ziheng felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and then he looked away. Strangely, the smile just now played in his mind.

When he tilted his head, the long forehead hair would fall from the side of his cheeks to the bridge of his nose, and would sweep over in one by one, onto the tip of his nose.

What are you laughing at? This person is obviously going to be out, I really don't understand.

"Player Xia Xiqing, out. Three, two, one."

The floor of the circular exit seat suddenly opened downwards, and Xia Xiqing, who had lost his support, fell down, and the floor closed again, and Xia Xiqing, who was "killed" by the killer, disappeared in front of everyone.

Zhou Ziheng stared at the circular area, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. At this time, Cen Cen suddenly said, "Could it be that what Xia Xiqing said is true? Ziheng, you are really a killer."

Ruan Xiao, who originally wanted to speak for Zhou Ziheng, suddenly thought of Xia Xiqing's previous instructions, and swallowed the words back.

Zhou Ziheng turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and said calmly, "If I were the killer, I would be the first to kill him." He twitched the corners of his mouth, "He's so smart, so I still think it's a pity .”

"What a pity?" Cen Cen frowned slightly, "It's a pity he was 'killed'?"

"It's a pity that I'm not a killer, so I can't 'kill' him myself." Zhou Ziheng said something that sounded scary in a flat tone, then walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat on it, "Less than a minute is left, Come and vote."

Cen Cen also walked over and sat down, "How do you prove that you are not?"

Zhou Ziheng propped his chin with his hands, and looked up at her, "If I were, I would never have helped Xia Xiqing uncuff her from the very beginning."

Cen Cen still wanted to continue to ask questions, but the announcement from the program group sounded again.

"The countdown is over, and the first round of voting has officially begun. All players, please take your seats."

Despite Zhou Ziheng's explanation, Cen Cen watched the "killed" Xia Xiqing and Zhou Ziheng come out of the same room, and she had already determined in her heart that Zhou Ziheng was the killer, "Whether you admit it or not, this round of voting is over. Then you will know the truth."

"No." Zhou Ziheng smiled rarely, "Even if you cast me to death, you still have no way of knowing who the killer is. You will only know the truth when the game is over and you lose cleanly."

Cen Cen was a little speechless after being attacked by him like this. Shang Sirui and Ruan Xiao also sat down, Cen Cen winked at Ruan Xiao, Ruan Xiao nodded his chin slightly, but remained silent.

Zhou Ziheng looked calm and indifferent on the surface, but he was still uneasy. Cen Cen was definitely going to vote him out this time. If Shang Sirui was the killer as Xia Xiqing said, then the vote in his hand It must be aimed at yourself. Ruan Xiao...

He had almost no communication with Ruan Xiao, but judging from what he saw just now, Ruan Xiao had already formed an alliance with Cen Cen.

It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous, Zhou Ziheng's palms are now sweating uncontrollably.

"Players, please send your favorite Killer candidate via mobile phone. There is only one chance. Be sure to send after repeated confirmation. The countdown is ten seconds, and it starts now."

"nineteen-"

strangeness.

At this critical juncture, Xia Xiqing's smile before he was eliminated, and the words he swore in the dark appeared in Zhou Ziheng's mind.

"Eight-seven-"

[Shang Sirui is a killer, trust me. ]

He seemed to have foreseen the end.

"Six-five-four-"

Although Zhou Ziheng was unwilling to admit it, in this game, the only person he could call an ally was Xia Xiqing, so at this moment, even if he was executed for believing in him, Zhou Ziheng would also admit it.

What's more, he had already started to doubt Shang Sirui, all he lacked was evidence.

"three two-"

Zhou Ziheng entered the answer in his heart into the phone, and clicked send without hesitation.

"One. The time is up, and the voting results of the players are being counted."

The four people at the dining table looked at each other, and the atmosphere was delicate. Zhou Ziheng leaned back on the chair, staring at Shang Sirui sitting opposite him, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, but the other party lowered his head subtly, avoiding his eyes.

To be honest, it didn't look like the on-the-spot reaction of a person who was so good at hiding, but he still chose to believe what Xia Xiqing said.

"Now announce the voting results. After the secret ballot of all players, the person who was executed in this round is—"

The sound of the announcement paused for a few seconds, and Zhou Ziheng felt that his heartbeat had begun to accelerate uncontrollably.

If he was executed, what would he do with the clues he got?

All must be handed over publicly, then the killer will definitely win, no matter which one of the three he is.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help feeling frustrated.

"No one. This game is a draw, we will not execute anyone. Players please continue the game."

Such an ending was somewhat unexpected, especially for Cen Cen. She looked at Shang Sirui beside her in surprise, and then turned to look at Ruan Xiao, "Which one of you didn't vote for him?"

Ruan Xiao frowned innocently, "I voted."

Zhou Ziheng, who stayed out of the matter, observed the expressions of everyone on the opposite side. When Ruan Xiao was talking, he kept tapping his finger on the table. It was obvious that there was something wrong. He shifted his gaze to Shang Sirui. His expression was not right. But it does not seem to be surprised by this result.

Zhou Ziheng analyzed the ownership of the execution votes in everyone's hands. If he voted for Shang Sirui, Cen Cen must have voted for himself.

In the end there was a tie, which meant that Shang Sirui and Ruan Xiao voted for themselves and Shang Sirui respectively. It is absolutely impossible for Shang Sirui to cast himself.

Therefore, Ruan Xiao voted for Shang Sirui.

Zhou Ziheng figured out the tendency of the four people on the field, and he was even more convinced that Shang Sirui was the killer. The reason why Xia Xiqing died so quickly must be that he had found evidence that could prove that he was the killer.

What he holds in his hand is the clue to leave the whole house. To be honest, there is no need to prove Shang Sirui's identity to everyone. As long as he escapes from the house before him, the game is over.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng stood up from his seat.

Cen Cen looked up at him, "Zi Heng, where are you going?"

"Of course it's to find clues to escape." Zhou Ziheng pushed back the chair, "Anyway, no one is out this round, so it's better to find clues to escape than just sitting around."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ziheng turned around and went back to the study. As expected, Shang Sirui stopped him, "Ziheng, I'll go with you."

Zhou Ziheng didn't stop him, "Yes."

The two entered the study one after the other.

Everything in the study was almost unchanged, Shang Sirui gently closed the door, and asked tentatively, "Zi Heng, who did you vote for just now?"

Zhou Ziheng pretended to be trying to find clues and asked calmly, "Who did you vote for?"

Shang Sirui laughed, "Oh, I abstained from voting." He sat down on the chair in front of the long desk with a relaxed face, "I can't see anything, it's better not to vote, so as not to kill innocent people by mistake."

Abstain? That's a clever explanation.

Zhou Ziheng glanced at him, then nodded slowly, "You're right." He walked to Shang Sirui's side. This chair was the one he sat on when he was **** earlier. Office chair with armrests.

Probably because of nervousness, Shang Sirui's hand on the armrest trembled slightly. To cover it up, he simply grabbed the armrest to make himself look more normal.

Zhou Ziheng observed this, he looked away, and said, "Now that Xia Xiqing is out, I think I need to find someone to form an alliance with." He put his left hand in his pocket, took out a piece of paper and put it in Shangsi On the desk in front of Rui, "This is an important clue I found, look." While speaking, his right hand reached into the other pocket at the same time.

"Clue?" Shang Sirui leaned forward slightly.

While Shang Sirui focused all his attention on the so-called important clues, Zhou Ziheng seized the gap of one or two seconds, took out the handcuffs he had taken from the phonograph with his right hand from his pocket, and held Shang Sirui His hands were firmly handcuffed to the office chair.

Shang Sirui realized instantly that the important clue on the table was simply a blank sheet of paper!

Zhou Ziheng picked up the rope on the ground and tied Shang Sirui to the chair.

"Ziheng! You! Hey, why did you tie me up?" Shang Sirui kept struggling, but Zhou Ziheng didn't mean to stop.

"Did you make a mistake, or are you the killer?"

"Hush." ​​Looking at his face, Zhou Ziheng said softly, "Stop acting, the game will be over soon."

When everything was done, Zhou Ziheng stretched out a leg and lightly kicked the lower edge of the office chair, and Shang Sirui slid away with the chair.

"Sorry, you should rest first."

Shang Sirui struggled desperately on the chair, unable to get up, he could only watch Zhou Ziheng leave the room and close the door.

He didn't know that before that, Zhou Ziheng had found all the clues to leave this house and lured him here, just wanting to trap him here, so as not to be preempted by him as a killer when he finally cracked it. machine, escape the house.

Previously, Zhou Ziheng took advantage of Xia Xiqing and the four of them entangled in another room, opened the painting he gave him, and found the flashlight parts hidden by the program group in the sofa in the living room according to the clue of [Sofa Flashlight Study Room Turn off the Light] , Assembled into a complete flashlight, he tried to illuminate the living room with the flashlight, went around a full circle, and finally found the words that can only be displayed when the flashlight is illuminated on the second line of the password input field of the gate.

Just to the left of the password field that only needs to enter three letters, there is a sentence written.

[Who is the killer? ]

But this is only one of the passwords, and the other password still requires him to find the number. Zhou Ziheng thought of the last two clues of [Sofa Flashlight Study Room Turn Off the Light], so he entered the study room and turned off the light. In the dark, Zhou Ziheng held up the flashlight to check. Looking around the corners of the room, I found that there are red glowing words on the four corners of the room, which are -2, 3, 7 and prime.

Zhou Ziheng, who was born in science, quickly understood that prime is a prime number, 2, 3, and 7 are all prime numbers, and they are all single digits. There is only one number that also meets these two requirements, and that is 5.

Zhou Ziheng who came out of the study strode away and came to the living room, Shang Sirui's shouts could be heard in the living room.

"What's wrong with Si Rui?" Cen Cen was about to go to the study when he was stopped by Ruan Xiao, "Sister Cen Cen, wait a moment."

"Wait a minute? Wait for what?"

Zhou Ziheng had already arrived at the gate at this time, he entered the four numbers [2, 3, 5, 7] in the first column as fast as he could, and entered the answer to the question in the next column.

[SON]

The son is a murderer.

The touch screen turned blue, and after flashing three times, a line of green prompts appeared.

[The password is correct, congratulations! ]

With a bang, the door swung open.

Zhou Ziheng raised his eyes and looked forward. He had imagined many possibilities. Behind this door, there were probably a lot of cameras, or maybe it was the planner of the program group. He even thought about the lines after he came out.

But he never expected that after he escaped from this door covered in cold sweat, the first person he saw would be Xia Xiqing.

Xia Xiqing, who was wearing a white shirt, stood at the door. The light arranged by the program crew came from behind him. The backlight rubbed against his shoulders and gently covered his left chest. His face became blurred under the angle of the backlight. , leaving only the beautiful arc when the corners of the lips were raised, "That's great."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Xiqing, who was less than half a meter away, suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, hugging him tightly in the way men celebrate victory.

Zhou Ziheng was a little stunned, letting this man cunningly take the opportunity to hug him, he forgot to resist.

It's really strange, the previous aggressive perfume smell seems to gradually change, the smell of tobacco has faded, and the musky smell has also disappeared, Zhou Ziheng felt his tired body was gently and softly wrapped by a warm woody aroma. Fragrance, body temperature, the ironing feeling of the palm against the back, and the ending sound of this person who always seems not so sincere when he speaks.

"I knew we were going to win."
