Draw ghost cards

It was the same confusing situation as last night, some people were even thinking about how uncomfortable it would be if they had to eat like this in the future a.

Eat it all, leave it all alone without touching, or eat some and leave some?

Someone moved.

Qi Chengxun, the guest in room No. 5, moved his chopsticks first, then began to eat rice one bite at a time.

He didn't touch any of the fragrant stewed meat, the round meatball soup, or the steaming steamed eggs minced meat.

The second guest who moved chopsticks was Yuan Fangcheng from Room 1. Like the guest in Room 5, he only ate rice and did not touch any other dishes.

Shan Qiaoqiao watched the actions of these two people and suddenly remembered that they were the ones who drank all the soup last night, and unlike her, they were not targeted by ghost. Looking at Ma Letian, Ma Letian covered his head and remained silent for a while before moving his chopsticks.

Of course, the goal is only rice.

People have a herd mentality. Eating only rice without meat dishes is obviously much easier than forcing down the weird duck blood soup last night. With these people taking the lead, everyone else only ate rice, even the young couple didn't say anything. They had a tacit understanding and didn't touch any meat dishes.

"Eating this meal is like being tortured." Ma Letian couldn't help but whisper.

Shan Qiaoqiao agreed very much.

Such a luxury train trip, even if she was invited for free she wouldn't go.

What a shame.

Shan Qiaoqiao put down her chopsticks and whispered: "This time everyone's choice is the same, it should be..."

She stopped before she finished her words and looked at the table in front of her, where the guest in room 3 was sitting, in astonishment. Shan Qiaoqiao didn't have much impression of this man, she only remembered that there was such a person, but now, she was sure that at least until released from the copy, she would never forget this person's face.

Because of his marverick.

Everyone is eating rice, they don't dare to touch dishes that don't know what kind of meat they are made from. But this one was different. He didn't move a single bit of rice. He swung his chopsticks very fast and picked up all the meat. The greasy meat disappeared into his mouth at a very fast speed. He seemed to be addicted to the delicious food. He lowered his head and just ate without raising his head.

This situation looks very wrong.

Gradually, someone stopped using their chopsticks, everyone turned to look at him.

The guest in room 3 didn't seem to notice and was still eating happily. Someone realized something, the face gradually turned pale.

Kang Xingyu: "Why did he..."

"Shut up." Ma Letian quickly interrupted Kang Xingyu and said, "Eat your rice."

Kang Xingyu nodded blankly, continued to dig the rice, perhaps because he thought of some possibility. Looking at the meat on the plate and eating the rice in the bowl, there's a kind of nauseous feeling.

"I've lost my appetite." Shan Qiaoqiao whispered, "Do we have to finish it all ma?"

Yuan Fangcheng and Qi Chengxun have finished eating, now one is observing the guest from room 3, and the other is looking out the car window in boredom. Looking at their clean bowls, Ma Letian gritted his teeth and said, "It's not much, just stuff it all in for me."

It's not worth to get into trouble just for eating less rice.

Shan Qiaoqiao and Kang Xingyu finished eating.

After everyone in the restaurant put down their chopsticks, the two staff members came back. The chief attendant looked at everyone's tables, every time his eyes fell on a table, the owner of the table would tremble, for fear that he would say something dissatisfied.

Chief attendant: "It seems that everyone's appetite is not very good today a."

Bai Leshui saw someone shivering.

Chief attendant: "I told the head chef a long time ago that the food in the morning should not be so meaty, but she refused, saying that it was rare to have fresh meat."

A chill ran down Bai Leshui's back. He couldn't help but glance at the guest at table 3, and saw a plate of cleanly eaten meat that was different from other tables.

Bai Leshui:...

It shouldn't be considered as eating oneself ba.

A little scary a.

Chief attendant: "It's okay, I understand everyone's hard work. We will deal with these leftovers."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, just don't knock on the door again to have a heart-to-heart talk because they haven't eaten meat.

The chief attendant continued: "If we get fresher ingredients in the future, we will make even better dishes for everyone. Please look forward to it ba."

Bai Leshui: I believe no one would look foward.

"The train has been traveling all night, there are still two days before the first mystery stop. Before then, guests can move around freely in the train. It is best to not stay in the room for a long time, as it will be boring. In addition to the restaurant, this train also has a bar and a chess and card room, so guests are welcome to interact and deepen their understanding."

"At lunch time, the attendant Ren Si will inform everyone one by one, before that, everyone can move freely except in the train cab." The chief attendant smiled and repeated again, "Except for the cab, you can move freely anywhere."

Shan Qiaoqiao lowered her head and whispered to her companions: "What to do? Where are we going?"

Kang Xingyu: "Going anywhere is fine ba, how about going back?"

"You stupid a." Ma Letian said, "It all said to not try to stay in the room for a long time." This sentence is not a suggestion, but a hidden rule of the game.

Try not to, of course you can stay if you want. If you encounter any danger or fall into a death trap, just don't bother didn't warn.

"Then where are we going?" Shan Qiaoqiao asked.

Ma Letian stood up: "Go and walk around."

The most important thing is to observe the copy map first. The first step is to step on all places except the forbidden cab.

The three people in Room 6 left the restaurant, then the young couple chatted in low voices about where they were going. The woman said she wanted to drink, the two discussed going to the bar. The old man in room No. 2 kept complaining that he was tired. The nanny originally planned to take the old man for a walk in the train, but she couldn't resist the old man and reluctantly followed him back to the box. The boy in room No. 7 shouted that he wanted to play, the middle-aged man said that he would take him to the chess and card room.

People in the restaurant were watching half of them go, then they saw Qi Chengxun from Room 5 saying, "I'm not familiar with this group of people, I want to play cards. Chief attendant, can you provide someone to play cards with me ma?"

As soon as he said these words, everyone who had not left the restaurant all looked at him and the chief attendant.

The chief attendant looked at Qi Chengxun intently and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "That's possible a. If you are short of card buddies, I can find them as many as you need."

"A few is all possible a..." Qi Chengxun said with a smile, "No need for so many, just lend me that one." He pointed at Bai Leshui, who was currently named Ren Si.

Bai Leshui showed a stiff smile similar to that of the chief attendant: "Sure, sir, don't know what you want to play?"

"Well... draw ghost card, just this one." Qi Chengxun said.

He kept his eyes fixed on Bai Leshui, and said the words "draw ghost card" very softly, as if he meant something.

Bai Leshui held back his heart beating wildly and suddenly remembered that Xiao Jiu said he had a helper who was also a ghost in this game.

Could it be this person?

"Playing games, sounds great." A voice said. Bai Leshui and Qi Chengxun both turned their heads. Yuan Fangcheng, who was from Room No. 1, held his chin and said to himself: "There's nothing to do anyway, how about adding me? The game of drawing ghost card. The more people there are, the more fun it will be ba."

Ren Si (Bai Leshui): ...That's certainly true.

Qi Chengxun (Ghost-Wu Xuanyuan): ...My purpose is not to play cards.

"In that case, you can count me in." Angelina of Room 8 raised her hand and said, "I don't have much to do, I can't play many games. The game of drawing ghost card, I can."

Yuan Fangcheng (Rong Zheng): ...Adding you is even more confusing, please go away okay ma.

The chief attendant clapped his hands happily: "It's great that you can find a game to pass the time. Do you need me to take you to the card room ma?"

Qi Chengxun & Yuan Fangcheng: "No need."

Angelina: "If possible..."

The three of them spoke at the same time, then looked at each other in dismay.

Ah.

Bai Leshui said: "I will take three guests to go ba."

The chief attendant nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then I will clean up the restaurant."

The matter was settled. Bai Leshui smiled and gestured to the three of them, asking them to follow him.

Bai Leshui led the way, followed by Yuan Fangcheng and Qi Chengxun side by side, and finally Angelina who followed behind.

It always feel like, this atmosphere is very strange a.

Inside the restaurant.

The chief attendant put away the plates with a smile. At this time, everyone else in the restaurant had left, leaving only the guest from room 3 and the chief attendant. The chief attendant closed the restaurant door, turned around with a smile and looked at Guest No. 3 who had already begun to eat the meat on other people's plates, and said helplessly: "Very hungry ma?"

Guest No. 3: "Mmh."

"It doesn't matter, you can have a full meal today." The chief attendant said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten a."

***

There are five sets of tables and chairs in the chess and card room compartment of the train, which can accommodate a total of twenty people. The chess and cards are placed on the table, while the chess pieces and mahjong are stored in the table drawers. There are various types, which can satisfy any guests' preferences.

Of course, these are currently unavailable.

The game of drawing ghost card is very simple and only requires a deck of playing cards. There are two ghost cards in a set of playing cards, one needs to be removed. Then divide the remaining cards into equal parts according to the number of people. After everyone gets the cards in their hand, throw away the duplicates, then the game begins.

Bai Leshui asked while shuffling the cards: "Do you still need me to participate in the game ma?"

Qi Chengxun said: "The more people there are, the more fun it is, there happens to be only one chair left."

Bai Leshui: "Okay."

After the cards are dealt, discard the duplicate cards in hand, then draw a card in other people's hands in clockwise or counterclockwise order. As long as you draw a pair, you can take it out and throw it away. Whoever has the ghost left in hand, whoever just lost.

The order of the four happens to be Bai Leshui, Yuan Fangcheng, Qi Chengxun and Angelina. Bai Leshui draws Yuan Fangcheng's card, and Yuan Fangcheng draws Qi Chengxun's card, this goes on like this, finally Angelina draws Bai Leshui's card.

Qi Chengxun had the fewest cards, so it was decided to start from him.

Looking at the card held by Angelina, Qi Chengxun said casually: "Miss Angelina, that's the name ba."

Angelina was startled for a moment and nodded: "Yes. That's right."

Qi Chengxun took out a card and looked at it, shrugged regretfully, then handed the card to Yuan Fangcheng: "Are you an actor ma?"

Angelina was a little surprised: "Why do you ask?"

"Well... feeling ba." Qi Chengxun said with a smile, "Probably because of my profession, so I prefer to observe others. You are rich, dressed very fashionably, and you seem to be very young, but you are at least thirty years old ba, not yet married, and has the air of a professional woman, but doesn't look like an OL. Besides, OLs can't have such exaggerated fake nails... Of course, being an actor is just one of my guesses. It seems I'm right."

Angelina said with all smile: "So what is your occupation? Is it a detective ma?"

Qi Chengxun said with a grin: "No, I just did police work or something like that."

"Oh, really ma." Angelina said. She didn't believe it.

Even if what is said is true, it is impossible to tell whether this person is doing this kind of work in the original world, or whether the game character do this kind of work. However, it is a good idea to judge the identity of the people here by their clothing. Perhaps it was because of her personality, but she was already dressed like this when she entered the dungeon. The change clothes in her luggage were all unique in style, and she didn't bring any personal belongings except cards.

She didn't have the habit of making such exaggerated fake nails. She had done them occasionally a few times in the original world, but after wearing them for so long, her past hobbies were basically no longer interesting. Suddenly having exaggerated fake nails was very awkward. She tried to remove them, but no matter how she tried, they couldn't be removed, so she can only forget it.

It seems that these things are clues for other players to judge their targets.

So, where is her target ne? What kind of person is it?

Rong Zheng next to him: Police officer? There are people on the list who do this type of work, is he one of them ma?

Bai Leshui: Another observant person, why are there so many guys like this?

The author has something to say:

Bai Leshui: Why are there so many observant people? Is this character worthless ?

1069: Host, this is a necessary skill for high-level players. Please learn it as well.

Bai Leshui: Tsk.
