Chapter 1166 Deviation
If it was just suspicion before, Jiang Cheng is now at least 90% sure that there is something wrong with Zhou Tong.
Of course, he will not expose her, but will wait and see what happens as before.
Because he can't confirm yet, what do these ghosts who sneak in want to do?
If you just want to kill someone, why don't you do it?
All the questions gathered together, forming a complicated picture in his mind. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through, and Jiang Cheng thought of something very abnormal.
The ghosts in this mission were different from those he had encountered before.
These ghosts pretended to be teammates before meeting themselves. Taking "Teacher Zigui" as an example, after being spotted, they disappeared without anyone noticing.
When she was found again, she was already a charred corpse.
This gave Jiang Cheng a strange feeling, as if the ones who had the final say in this mission were not ghosts pretending to be teammates, but living people like them.
Ghosts are a vulnerable group, and as long as they are discovered, they will face a terrible end.
In order to verify this, Jiang Cheng searched the area with his eyes, trying to find Bai Xi's location. Unfortunately, Bai Xi was not there. He must have stayed with another team.
Jiang Cheng secretly thought that he was negligent. He actually ignored this. This could never happen to him in the past. After coming to this world, his thinking seemed to have become slow and blurry.
"Da da da."
A crisp sound of footsteps approaching here.
Everyone became alert.
Not long after, another group of people walked in through the gap in the white cloth. After a while, Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that there was no sign of Bai Xi among the people who came!
He wanted to ask directly, but he was worried about alerting others and being targeted by ghosts hidden in the crowd, so he held back.
But after a while, someone still discovered the clue.
“Where is Bai Xi?” Lin Waner’s eyes swept across the crowd, her voice questioning.
The other team was led by Xia Meng. When asked by Lin Waner, Xia Meng was completely confused. She looked at Lin Waner strangely and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What are you talking about? How do I know where Bai Xi went? He Didn’t he follow you?”
Xia Qiang also realized the problem and immediately said: “Master, Bai Xi didn’t follow you. We divided nine people to go to the door to look for clues. Look, there are still 9 people in our team, and we have left a total of 7 people."
This time, Lin Muyun, who was following Xia Meng, said, "Captain Xia, you must have remembered wrongly. There are 10 of you. I remember clearly that the team we left behind is 6 people.”
Everyone realized something was wrong, and the perceptions of the two teams seemed to be skewed.
Everyone in Jiangcheng’s team said that their team had 9 people before setting off, but Xia Meng’s team who stayed behind insisted that their team only had 6 people from beginning to end. And there is absolutely no Bai Xi.
"It seems that this is the problem." Lin Wan'er stood up, "Now the problem is with Bai Xi. Let me ask, after we separated, did anyone see Bai Xi, or... have an impression of him?"
After thinking about it, everyone shook their heads. It seemed that at a certain moment, Bai Xi was deleted from everyone's cognition.
"Look, the current situation...does it look like Teacher Zigui has disappeared?" Su Xiaoxiao saw through Bai Xi's disguise earlier under Su An's prompt, but after realizing After the reporter suddenly disappeared, I still couldn't help but be afraid.
Jiang Cheng knew her concerns. A teacher Zigui who had come back from the dead had already caused so much trouble. If Bai Xi came again, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lu Yu, who lost two teammates one after another, broke down. He bit his lip and tears fell in large drops. He didn't cry out. The scene was heart-wrenching.
"Bai Xi must have been kidnapped by ghosts like Teacher Zigui!" Zhou Tong, who had just calmed down, saw this scene and continued to incite an atmosphere of fear, "They were all kidnapped in this building!"
"Something's wrong here! You...you can also notice it, right?" Zhou Tong was out of breath and looked extremely scared. He looked like, "Let's leave quickly. Let's leave here first and look for clues outside. If there are no clues outside, we... we won't be too late to come back!"
Lin Wan'er had a look of disgust in her eyes, and then handed one to No. 8 With his eyes, No. 8 understood it. He walked forward with a sneer, raised his hand, and slapped Zhou Tong on the face.
“Pop!”
The sound is crisp and clear.
"If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will slap you!" No. 8 waved his hand and said, "If you don't listen to the reason, I will slap you until you do."
Being slapped in public by such a little girl who was half a head shorter than herself, Zhou Tong was shocked and stopped crying instantly. After a moment, she reacted and wanted to fight No. 8 with all her teeth and claws.
In the end, Xia Qiang and others stopped her and calmed down.
Although his teammates were beaten because they made mistakes first, the eyes of Xia Qiang and others looking at Lin Wan'er were not as friendly as they were at first, and they were somewhat resentful.
This is all for Jiang Cheng’s sake.
Jiang Cheng wanted to remind Xia Qiang and the others that this Zhou Tong was not a human, but a ghost pretending to be a ghost, but reason told him that he couldn't, because he couldn't be sure whether there were ghosts among Xia Qiang's group.
Even around Lin Wan'er, he suspected that a ghost had infiltrated.
"Huh?" The fat man made a confused voice. After a moment, he seemed to see a terrifying scene. His eyes widened suddenly and his shoulders shook violently. "Holy shit, what is going on?!"
Following the fat man's line of sight and looking towards the audience, everyone was horrified to find that not far behind them, many wooden chairs with backrests had appeared out of thin air, placed under the audience, like Waiting to watch the show.
The most terrifying thing is that these chairs are only a few meters away from them, but no one of them noticed when these wooden chairs appeared behind them.
After all, their attention was on the missing Bai Xi.
"1, 2, 3..." Su Xiaoxiao silently counted the number of chairs. After a while, he took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Cheng with strange eyes, and whispered: "There are 17 chairs in total."
Everyone looked strange after hearing this. The 17 chairs happened to be the number of survivors participating in the mission.
But the important thing is that now one of them has been confirmed dead and another is missing. There will never be 17 people. Why...are there 17 chairs arranged for the task?
Could it be that... ghosts are also qualified to sit on chairs?
Jiang Cheng walked off the stage and soon found new clues on the backs of the chairs. Behind each chair was a blurry black-and-white photo. The photos were of rough texture and were cut out from newspapers.
The faces of these people correspond to each other one by one.
The faces of Teacher Zigui and Bai Xi had turned into charcoal. (End of this chapter)
