Chapter 56: Victory
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Finding the ghost was a small task of this task point, so there was a time limit to ensure that the guests would not stay up too late.
With one person dying every 15 minutes, the game was over after two hours. They had already pieced together the truth of the story.
The wife was abused by the husband and finally could not take it any longer, so she killed the man. Their son came up to stop her, but the woman failed to control her strength and killed the son as well.
She had a mental breakdown and tried to find a way to resurrect her son. In the end, she sacrificed herself and found her son’s soul.
In spite of it, both of them were spirits wandering around the villa looking for a scapegoat.
The rules stated that those who were killed had to return to their rooms and lock the doors. They could only leave after accurately writing down who the ghost had possessed at the final stage of finding the murderer.
The correct answer was Yan Ruo and Bai Lin.
Everyone went down. Some guessed it all wrong, some only voted for Yan Ruo, and Bai Lin had three votes in the end—it was from Zhao Yuan, Bai Xi, and Bai Shao.
When Bai Lin who had been missing the whole time appeared in front of the “corpses”, Zhou Guang pounced and tickled Bai Lin. “Well done huh, you even set your brother up.”
Yan Ruo pulled Zhou Guang away without a sound. “I’m her accomplice.”
Lin Sen and Fan Feng were excited. They were a little sleepy at first, but they were now shocked by the murderer.
They had used the clues to deduce that there might be more than one ghost and had also deduced the way the ghost killed. However, all of their correct suspicions had been refuted by Yan Ruo.
They all died mysteriously. Although they tried their best to form a group, a few of them were bewitched by Yan Ruo and went out alone, thus they got killed.
Fan Feng sighed, “Hats off to you. Best Actor Yan and Bai Lin’s cooperation is invincible.”
“Cunning.” Lin Sen looked at Bai Lin. “You were the first to go missing so that it’d be easier to make a move later?”
Bai Lin nodded.
“Did you come up with all your plans in the storeroom?”
Bai Lin shook her head. “Best Actor Yan was the first person to find me, so I used this plan.”
Lin Sen went through what happened tonight and asked again, “How did you get out of the basement in the storeroom?”
“There’s a secret passage in the basement,” Bai Lin said, “It leads to the room where the female ghost used to live. It’s the room Bai Xi is staying in now.”
Bai Xi died early. Although this game was good for interaction, she never had the chance to go out of the room, so she naturally could not come into contact with Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang.
Even though it was just a game and the background story was fabricated, she could not help shivering when Bai Lin said that her room was where the female ghost stayed.
It was all Bai Lin’s fault. If it was not for her, she would have stayed in the big room facing the sun instead of such an unlucky place.
Bai Xi’s eyes were dark and gloomy as she stayed where it was more obscured. When she felt Bai Lin’s gaze sweep over, she returned to her innocent and naive appearance.
She smiled casually and said as if implying something, “Jiejie, you’ve fooled us all. You’re so smart. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t have thought of such a trick. ”
[Xixi is right. I think Bai Lin is a liar. Don’t be fooled by her! She’s so scheming, it’s scary. It must be tiring to be with such a person, right? Who knows when we’ll fall into her trap?]
[That’s right. She’s tricked my heart away and caused me to be sleepless every night. All I can think about is Bai Lin. She’s so bad!]
[This is just a game… Besides, didn’t Best Actor Yan work with Bai Lin? Bai Lin kills in secret while Yan Ruo deceives in the open. Their teamwork is perfect.]
[No work is tiring when it’s a man together with a woman. This ship is sailing for me again.]
[Suspecting that Lin-jie has some special identity. She’s really good at hiding.
She’s been following other people around but they never discovered her.]
[She’s really amazing. Her control of her body and breathing is perfect. How did she train it?]
By the time the review was over, it was already midnight. Bai Lin yawned and looked at Bai Xi lazily. “That’s right, you’ve got to work harder. Eat more walnuts to boost your brainpower and you wouldn’t have been so stupid to be the second person I killed.” Bai Xi’s expression froze.
That damned Bai Lin.
She thought of something, and her expression softened.
This episode was about to end soon, and the guests for the second episode would be reset. She had received the guest list before the show started.
Travelers had always used an elimination system. A few guests would be eliminated each episode, and the shortlisted guests would come in.
The six newcomers in the next episode were close to her and would protect her unconditionally. By then, Bai Lin would be nothing.
Bai Xi’s lips curled up as she looked confidently at Bai Lin who was going upstairs.. She was going to make her regret what she had done!
