Ren Li frowned slightly and everyone’s expressions became more cautious.
Five pieces of talisman papers and three purifications; it is obvious that this is a five-game three-win game with sub-campaigns.
The old man wiped his face a little irritably. With a bad tone, he said: “What’s worse, we still can’t confirm the specific identities of these two people. We only know that they know that the other one is an undercover agent —— damn it, we have suffered too much!”
“But fortunately, in order to prevent you from being overwhelmed by the yin spirit and killing each other’s mind, we also specially put down a spell so that you can live in peace. “
There are two more conditions, Ren Li’s eyes his eyes slightly. The undercover knows each other’s identities and cannot kill each other in the game.
The old man looked exhausted, he showed a helpless expression: “I can’t make rash judgments, so this time the team is on a mission. I don’t want to arrange who the captain will be to direct the arrangements. And for insurance, two people must work together on the first night, three people work together on the second night, and four people work together in the next few nights. In this way, you can achieve the greatest chance of the purification power and find the undercover agents. “
“Anyone could be an undercover agent, so you should decide to take turns to be the captain according to your work number and then speak in turn. The captain of the night will speak last, summarize the opinions, propose cooperation arrangements, and finally show your hands to vote on whether or not the selected person will carry out the purification. If the number of votes is not more than a half…Don’t worry, just cancel it that night. “
“For those who decide to participate in the purification task, the secret method is to draw out the talisman in the air. If this process is destroyed by the undercover using sorcery, then the talisman paper on the undercover’s body will not be extracted. In this way, you can determine how many undercover agents there are in this mission based on the number of talisman papers. It’s a pity that it’s impossible to know whose extracted talisman papers they are from…”
It’s an important clue. If you keep extracting the information, the undercover agent can either choose to succeed in purification or destroy the process. But as long as you choose to destroy, a piece of talisman paper will be reduced accordingly.
“I’m glad that we have four people and we can still meet the requirements of purifying power.” The old man rejoiced in pain, “Fortunately, you have the power of five talisman papers and you can only fail twice!”
“Now the internal signals are getting more and more unstable. There are too many people outside who want to sabotage and take the opportunity to break into the authorities. We will not connect with you these few days. Since all of you are in the villa, I don’t know if you will be monitored. For confidentiality, you can only discuss matters related to purification in the living room from 9 to 10 in the evening. We will concentrate on protecting the signals in the living room during that time.”
“If the secrets are leaked, even if the task is completed, I cannot guarantee your personal safety.”
Ren Li gently tapped his fingers on his legs. This should indicate that although the undercover agents know each other’s identities, they can’t communicate in private, right?
This is kind of interesting.
The old man’s eyes were full of encouragement and expectation, “I hope you can seize the opportunity to successfully catch the undercover and complete the purification in these few days!”
After speaking, the TV screen flickered. It turned into a screen full of snowflakes before finally turning into a black screen.
There was really a lot amount of information. Everyone is still sorting out the useful information in the NPC’s words. They haven’t moved for a while, each having vigilance in their eyes.
Suddenly, six identical cards appeared out of thin air on the table in the middle of the living room. The cards were painted with weird and distorted patterns.
【 Identity cards have been issued. Players are asked to select the cards they want within 30 seconds. 】
Everyone’s eyes gathered on the table in an instant. The uncle in suit was already beside the table and took the first card away. Then everyone quickly took away a card.
He rubbed the surface of the card lightly with his fingertips, however there was nothing written on the card. He wondered what kind of identity he would be?
Thirty seconds fleeted.
Suddenly, the card in Ren Li’s hand annihilated and disappeared as if it was entering his body. The familiar mechanical sound rang in his ears.
【Worker No. 6. The player’s identity is a Purifier.】
Worker No. 6… He didn’t change his face and his emotions, but he thought that this starting point wasn’t anything good.
His eyes turned slightly and he took a look around. Except for Nan Yuan, who was unhappy when she heard the rules before, and Qin Yiyi, who had always been scared, had her expressions changed slightly, the others behaved as if nothing had happened just now.
“Nan Yuan, it’s a relief. I’m not lying…” Qin Yiyi’s face was full of surprise. Just as she was about to talk to Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan covered her mouth.
“Yiyi, pay attention to the time. It’s not time yet.” Nan Yuan motioned to her to look at the electronic clock on the table which displayed “8:58”.
Qin Yiyi nodded in a hurry and fell silent.
The prickly-headed man rolled his eyes, unabashedly disgusted and speechless at Qin Yiyi’s mentally retarded behavior.
In the remaining two minutes, everyone kept tacitly silent. Perhaps it was the language that was being spoken while the organization was waiting, or perhaps it was sorting out information, or it maybe just pure confusion and wandering.
The moment the number on the electronic clock changed to “9:00”, Ren Li’s eyes went black. Accompanied by the mechanical sound of [Undercover Mutual Confirmation], a panel appeared in his mind:
【Total game points of the player Ren Li: 0】
【Personal achievement tasks for players: Participate in three nights of purification tasks. [0/3] (Points +3)】
【Checking the previous points usage requires 10 points. 】
【Note that when the points are negative, the player will die permanently.】
【I wish you all players a happy game.】
Ren Li’s heart stunned. All tasks are completed with exactly 10 points, and if the clearance fails, 10 points will be deducted, which leads to the integral becoming negative.
As a newcomer with zero points, this level must be cleared. Otherwise…
And several other points tasks are also very difficult to get. Killing ghosts in three nights means that three nights can’t be purified; Participating in the purification task for three nights, with the disadvantages of his own work number 6, also has certain difficulties.
Only half a minute should have passed when Ren Li’s vision returned to normal.
Everyone’s state has not changed much from before he lost his vision. It seems that it is not so easy to judge who is undercover by observing everyone’s expressions.
This time, the one who was first to speak was the prickly-headed man: “Everyone, please report your work number first. I’m No. 1 so I’m the captain for this night.”
Nan Yuan reluctantly replied: “I am No. 2. “
Pei Jingling’s attitude was still sloppy and he replied lazily: “No. 3.”
The voice coming from the uncle in the suit became more upright: “I am No. 4.”
Qin Yiyi raised her hand like a student answering a question: “I am No. 5.”
The last one left was Ren Li. Ren Li replied symbolically: “No. 6.”
“Ok, then let’s officially start.” The prickly-headed man looked around and sat a little upright. “I am the captain. According to the NPC, two people will be selected to do the task tonight so I will make the final speech. Let’s start with our ‘cute and kind’ sister No. 2 to speak.”
“Why is the game divided into two groups this time?” Nan Yuan gritted her teeth, “Is it that… no matter what, the six of us won’t be able to pass the level at the same time?”
Everyone looked at her indifferently. The answer to that question was obvious. Nan Yuan’s face became unpleasant.
Qin Yiyi looked at everyone’s expressionless faces. She shrank her shoulders in fear and hugged Nan Yuan’s arm tightly.
Nan Yuan took a deep breath and said, “This game is similar to ‘Close Your Eyes Before It’s Dark1‘. The undercover is to pretend to be a purifier and destroy the purification process while not letting their identity be exposed. It is a five-game three-win system. I have also played this type of game in real life so I have some experience. I hope other purifiers can also actively come out and do their tasks. Don’t be negative or you will easily be labeled as an undercover agent. And the undercover… will definitely try to pretend to be a purifier and take the place of others. “
Ren Li look at her expression and listened to the tone of her voice. He felt that she still had some struggle in her heart. When it came to undercover, she was still a little unbearable about it.
“I am the first person to speak, but to be honest, there is no information for me to refer to. I can only tell everyone that I am a purifier and that you can take me with you when doing tasks.” Nan Yuan paused. She glanced at the prickly-headed man, then her tone became aggressive. “For another person, I will propose number 1. If he is also a purifier, then we can win a game tonight. If he is an undercover agent and he dares to disrupt in the first game, we can catch an undercover right away. We won’t take him again later so we won’t be too disadvantaged. “
“That’s all, my speech is over.”
Ren Li was not surprised by Nan Yuan’s proposal. Everyone on the court could see that she doesn’t want to deal with No. 1. If someone had to be an undercover agent, one of her suspects and hopes would definitely be No. 1.
The prickly-headed man sneered in a low voice, completely indifferent to Nan Yuan’s painless provocation.
The next to speak was player No. 3, Pei Jingling.
Pei Jingling’s peachy eyes were drooping. His lips were slightly pursed and his pale and slender fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa, as if he seemed to be thinking about something.
Ren Li frowned. Player No. 2 was right. There is actually no information for people to analyze. So what is he thinking about?
Pei Jingling’s silence made everyone look at him full of scrutiny and speculation, but he didn’t seem to care very much.
The prickly-headed man with a bad temper slapped the table: “Hey, No. 3, what are you thinking? Hurry up and speak!”
“Don’t worry.” Pei Jingling finally spoke. There was a chuckle in his lazy, cold voice, “I’m just thinking about how to convince everyone…”
With his words, everyone looked at Pei Jingling’s eyes more and more suspiciously. But Ren Li suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Pei Jingling raised his eyes. His peach blossom eyes slowly raised the slender eyelashes and his eyes deliberately flowed with amorous feelings. He said to Ren Li: “Because I want to do the tasks with big brother No. 6.
Ren Li: “…”
