Chapter 246: Each understanding of the game
The Blessing Square was filled with people. The small group of four was inconspicuous among them.
The slightly cold wind passed by from low altitude and poured into my ankles. The tall and majestic goddess statue overlooks the people at its feet, with an expression of eternal compassion.
As he walked closer, the wanderer looked at the woman in a suit and short skirt in front of him: "Who is this?"
"She was introduced by the person who let the camera fall into the water. ." Guan Shanyue replied.
Even George's name was told by Wei Miao. Previously, they could only use the nickname "the person who dropped the camera into the water", which made them grit their teeth.
Wei Miao greeted him friendly.
Having met Guan Shanyue and others from a distance, she easily struck up a conversation with them and appeared as "George's friend".
"George is very guilty of his mistake. He knew that you were collecting All Saints' Day candy, so he asked me to come to you. I have a companion who wants to find some people to help, and she can use candy as payment."
Poor George didn't know that he was taking the blame again and had an extra friend who "hoped to compensate for the loss of the camera."
Wei Miao once again took advantage of relationship entanglements to find an entry point for her actions.
Faced with Wei Miao who came for him on his own initiative, Qingniao had doubts.
“How did you find us so accurately?”
This is a pretty sharp question.
The only people who met George at that time were Guan Shanyue and Zixu. Not to mention the difficulty of finding two people in a haystack in a small town, another bigger question was how could Wei Miao recognize Guan Shanyue and Zixu. .
Wei Miao used a smile to cover up the pause in thinking, and the countermeasures in her mind were instantly generated: "This is actually a coincidence. George came with me originally. When we passed by here, I didn't expect to see you at a glance. George felt that it was inconvenient for him to be with you. You met and left first, so I am the only one meeting you."
"Is that so..." Qingniao failed to catch the abnormality in Wei Miao's expression, her tone was ambiguous.
Blue Bird has no way to falsify this coincidence, because reality does not require logic.
So, they initially accepted Wei Miao’s origins and listened to her explanation of Pamela’s commission.
The three of them were each involved in a trade-off, and their attitudes towards this were somewhat different.
Blue Bird thought it was worth a try. Their current disadvantage is too great and they must give it a try.
Zixu prefers stability. If something unexpected happened and he was eliminated early, he might as well choose to fight the soul hunters.
Guan Shanyue felt that relying solely on Wei Miao's words would inevitably be biased. It was best to make a decision after contacting Pamela.
The three of them waited for the rogue's final vote.
Rogue is not an independent person to begin with. His many years of social life have made him accustomed to obeying the strong. Three people and three directions made it difficult for him to think carefully and make decisions.
He was exhausted from waiting near the casino. He wanted to lie down even more.
So he followed his heart and voted for Zixu, whom he disdained, which made the latter's impression of him a little better.
The minority obeys the majority.
Under various conditions, the first alliance between the soul hunters and travelers ended in failure.
Wei Miao found this situation very interesting.
These four people have different personalities and have their own understanding of the game. They cannot be called a team at all.
She felt much more at ease with such a traveler.
Cutting off the idea of dragging the traveler into the water, Wei Miao said goodbye and left gracefully.
She will use the next time to continue to expand her advantages. "I still feel that something is wrong with this person." Qingniao looked at Wei Miao's back thoughtfully.
"Ever since George's incident, I have felt a sense of disobedience." Although no one responded, Qingniao continued to talk on his own.
"Because it was such a coincidence that what was lost happened to be the crucial camera. George didn't say anything afterwards, and then suddenly a well-meaning compensation came to his door."
Because it was so unlucky. But it's unacceptable... If it were placed in a normal game, Qingniao would suspect that the Soul Hunters were cheating and tampering with their data.
“She is not like George’s friend, but like an intermediary businessman, who specializes in finding suitable employees and promoting cooperation between the two clients. Moreover, the help she introduced was actually a tomb robbing commission, and her character can be good Where to go? I even think she has bad intentions and is using this commission to trick us.”
“Did George sell our information to her?”
When Qingniao told Wei Miao about the tomb robbing commission, her opinion of her plummeted. The nature of the mission was too sinister, although Blue Bird supported the mission rationally.
She accidentally guessed part of the truth, but failed to see through Wei Miao's true identity.
So far, the soul hunter has put much more thought into it than she imagined.
But because the Traveler side has not been able to grasp the information about the Soul Hunter, and because of the advantages brought by the daytime mechanism, the Traveler side really lacks enough vigilance against this mysterious opponent.
The four of them all believed that the soul hunter should be struggling to complete his mission somewhere.
Zixu was noncommittal about Jade Bird's guess, and just said: "What should we do now?"
Qingniao folded his arms and said in deep thought: "Since she can grasp Pamela's commission, she may have more ways to do it. .”
“Let’s follow her!”
The blue bird made a rogue suggestion.
After thinking about it, the other three people actually thought this proposal was a good one.
First, they have now lost the means to obtain candies steadily and have no choice but to take a different approach.
The potential of the task chain has been exhausted. Except for the wanderer, the other three people once again harvested some candies.
“Intermediaries” of unknown origin may have additional high-quality resources.
Secondly, there are four of them. Isn’t it easy to bully Wei Miao?
At this moment, a layer of orange gradually appeared on the edge of the distant sky, intertwined with the light blue sky and gray.
The houses standing on the street cast heavy shadows. Strange jack-o'-lanterns hang from the dim eaves, and their evil smiles add a sense of eeriness to the town that is about to sink into night.
Some pumpkin lanterns are beautifully carved, showing eight big teeth at the top and bottom, and the sand sculptures have evil intentions. Some use special candles, and the blue-green flames look like ghosts. Some wore pink nightcaps, which contrasted sharply with the arrogant smiles on their lips.
A child wearing a pink and white skull costume ran happily past Wei Miao. Behind him, a "scarecrow" carrying a small jack-o'-lantern stumbled and chased him.
The scattered flow of people rushed out from the streets and began to converge in one place, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
There were a large number of tourists piled up near the city gate. In Wei Miao's understanding, they failed to find a hotel in the town and were frightened by the risks of traveling at night, so they left the city at dusk and set foot on Return.
And some tourists will stay in the town to participate in tonight's All Saints' Day parade.
The town at this time is more noisy than during the day, and people are busy with their own plans.
Wei Miao is in it, walking aimlessly, and the sense of detachment has never been stronger.
However, in the chaos, she can still capture some dissonance.
What do the travelers who are following her sneakily behind her want to do?
She didn't look back, but used her peripheral vision to confirm their outlines as she turned the corner. She changed direction without any hindrance and headed towards Waite Street with purpose.
