Chapter 22, Number 10: Defection
Zhang Xu'an's smile vanished visibly, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he was trying to suppress his surging emotions. Tan Yu's words were even more infuriating than Jiang Lin's.
How can there be such an idiot?
You're so stupid, yet you blame others for their bad comments?
Zhang Xu'an regretted choosing the "Ominous Night" dungeon for the first time, because you have no idea how stupid your teammates can be!
And yet, he only managed to survive and complete the game thanks to this bunch of incompetent teammates!
Zhang Xu'an's gaze toward Tan Yu grew increasingly sinister: This kind of idiot would be better off dead!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when crimson suddenly struck, and the woman's cries echoed once more through the ancient, desolate building!
Tan Yu was so frightened that he turned and ran away. Zhang Xu'an glanced at him and ran into the corridor. A few seconds later, he saw a dark red ghostly figure appear.
This was the first time Zhang Xu'an had ever faced a real ghost bride. She was even more beautiful than the 3D character on the computer screen, breathtakingly beautiful. Even though he knew that the ghost was actually a player, Zhang Xu'an could still feel the sorrow and desolation in the ghost bride's eyes.
The bells on the ghost bride's ankles jingled crisply.
With his hands bound, Zhang Xu'an used his body to block the ghost bride's path, suppressing the panic surging within him, and shouted arrogantly, "Hey, are you number 5 or number 10?"
(The possessed person transforms into a ghost bride, unable to communicate verbally with the player, but can communicate with ghost teammates using telepathy.)
"Who do you want to kill? Number 7 is hiding in the training ground, you can go and kill him!" Zhang Xu'an couldn't see Tan Yu, but when he entered the Crimson, he saw the direction Tan Yu had fled in, and his smile was filled with intense malice.
Zhao Wei looked in the direction Zhang Xu'an pointed and indeed saw Tan Yu trembling. But according to the plan, the priority was to kill Number 1, so Zhao Wei used the Ghost Bride skill to summon paper dolls.
(The paper doll will appear next to all players except the possessed player. As long as the player is exposed to the paper doll's line of sight, the ghost bride can obtain the player's coordinates.)
"Running so fast?" Zhao Wei's face was grim. The paper doll had located position number 1, but this guy took advantage of Zhang Xu'an blocking the way and ran all the way to the garden, and was still running upwards.
"Damn it!" Zhao Wei thought to himself. There wasn't enough time left for him to run from the training ground to the upper position to kill number 1. He caught a glimpse of number 10's location in the crimson vision, and with a thought, Zhao Wei rushed towards Ji Xingyi's coordinates.
However, they were blocked by a barrier as soon as they rushed into the stable!
Zhao Wei's eyes widened: "Zhong Kui? Why is he making a Zhong Kui statue?!"
(Using the Zhong Kui statue can set up a barrier to prevent the ghost bride from invading; this is a one-time use item.)
At this moment, Jiang Lin was standing behind Ji Xingyi, taking in everything. Upon hearing Zhao Wei's roar, Mingming's smile remained as gentle as ever, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there was not a trace of amusement in the young man's eyes.
Those beautiful eyes seemed to be consumed by scarlet.
Like the eyes of a demon peering down into the abyss.
If killing intent could be transformed into a scythe, it would already be hanging high above Zhao Wei's head.
Unaware of all this, Zhao Wei was so angry that his blood boiled. Unable to kill Number 1 or Number 10, he could only turn back to the training ground.
Tan Yu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief while hiding behind the bushes, looked up and saw the blood-red ghostly figure. The ghost bride was a being that surpassed human limits in both speed and strength. Tan Yu had only taken one step forward when the ghost bride grabbed his neck.
Tan Yu's face was filled with terror as he struggled to kick his legs in the air, but it was all in vain. Humans are terrifyingly weak, and within seconds, his legs were dangling in the air.
Looking into the distance, under the crimson night, the ghost bride, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown and with a beautiful face, was gripping Tan Yu's neck as if she were holding a dead chicken with a crooked neck.
Unfortunately, apart from Jiang Lin, no one else could feel such a bizarre and strange visual impact.
The hunt is over, the crimson fades.
Zhang Xu'an was the first to discover Tan Yu's body. He never expected that the ghost bride would return and kill Tan Yu. Standing next to Tan Yu's body, looking at that terrifying face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Just then, Zhang Xu'an suddenly heard the whooshing sound of wings flapping. Zhang Xu'an's expression changed drastically, and his instinctive reaction made him turn around and rush towards the corridor with the widest view. There he saw a gray-white bird rushing upwards at an extremely fast speed.
"Crow!" Zhang Xu'an shouted as he ran madly in the direction the crow had flown.
Everyone around came out when they heard Zhang Xu'an's shouts.
Lu Xiaohu exclaimed nervously, "Where? I can't see it!"
Lin Zhi glanced at Lü Xiaohu suspiciously and shouted, "It flew towards the ancestral hall!"
Wang Weiwen: "Quick, chase after them!"
Zhang Xu'an noticed Ji Xingyi catching up from behind and looked surprised: "It's not you?"
Ji Xingyi glanced at it indifferently, without any emotional response.
[System notification: Meeting started.]
The voting process consists of two rounds. The first round is for nomination. Nominated players then proceed to the second round of voting. The player with the most votes in the second round is elected. If the votes are tied, the meeting ends and no one is elected.
The person with the most votes will be executed.
[Nomination countdown begins: 12 minutes.]
Tan Yu's body was thrown next to Song Nuan's body by the system, but this time no one cried for him.
Zhang Xu'an squatted down, raised his hand to close Tan Yu's eyes that could not close, sighed, and said meaningfully, "It can be considered as making a contribution to good people."
"The crow flew towards the maid's room in the ancestral hall, where only the three of you, 5, 6, and 9, were!" Time was of the essence, and Lin Zhi was the first to step forward, pointing the finger at Jiang Lin and the other two.
The crow was too fast for anyone to catch, but thankfully the general location was enough to pinpoint the suspect. Furthermore, everyone on the way, except for 569, could corroborate each other, meaning the crow could only be one of 569!
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Wei asked in surprise. He was the ghost who had undergone surgery, so how did he turn into a crow?
Jiang Lin gestured with his chin toward Zhang Xu'an: "They said there are crows."
"I didn't see any!" Lu Xiaohu immediately retorted, "It was numbers 3 and 8 who said there were crows!"
"You actually believe what these two say?" Zhao Wei sneered, annoyed that Zhang Xu'an had fabricated lies to frame them.
But at that moment, someone unexpected stepped forward.
“There were indeed crows, I saw them too.” The young man in dark gray pajamas spoke, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Ji Xingyi's move shocked everyone. Lin Zhi immediately looked at Jiang Lin, who had a furrowed brow and looked shocked, as if he had not expected Ji Xingyi to turn against him at the last minute.
