Chapter 1167 Gambling Game
Chang Sheng hadn't seen Gu Xingjian for a long time.
The last time I met him was back in the days of Chen Hansheng.
At that time, the relationship between the third branch and the ninth branch was relatively close, mainly because Gu Xingjian recognized Chen Hansheng's ability and had a lot of cooperation with them.
At that time, Chang Sheng was not the deputy store manager, but he was also an important figure in the branch. He also had a brief exchange with Gu Xingjian.
In Chang Sheng's mind, Gu Xingjian was a very thoughtful conspirator, with an evil aura that he didn't like very much.
Perhaps it is because Chen Hansheng has a strong influence on the third branch of this generation, and some of his characteristics have deeply affected the atmosphere of the branch.
Chang Sheng and others basically had an almost reckless straightforwardness, so they looked down upon Gu Xingjian even more.
Especially for this store manager assignment, Chang Sheng suffered a lot due to Gu Xingjian's incident and searching for forbidden areas. Now that he finally had the chance to face off, he was naturally excited.
"Intruders will die."
Xu Nan let in another person. Gu Xingjian knew very well what Chang Sheng's arrival meant, so he wrote down five words without hesitation.
Almost as soon as Chang Sheng landed, he suddenly started to bleed from all his orifices. A large amount of blood poured out from his body like water bursting from a dam.
At a glance, he saw a strange red light, in which two powers were shining.
But at the second glance, in the sight that was in severe pain due to the death plot, he accurately captured Gu Xingjian in black robe.
"Hahahaha, Manager Gu, it's too late to kill me now."
After saying that, Chang Sheng took out a black plastic card the size of a playing card from his fingertips. The pattern of one half of a human face and half of a skull was very eye-catching.
The moment the ghost card was revealed, a large amount of black smoke was released from the human face and skull, covering the entire area in an instant.
At the same time, Gu Xingjian, Chang Sheng, Hou Guisheng, and Ji Li who were struggling in pain were all wrapped up in the area.
The plot of Gu Xingjian's death was given very quickly, but no matter how independent the editing is, it needs the support of underlying logic.
As an intruder, Chang Sheng can naturally die, but the way of death is not fixed.
Now that he is here, no one can stop the ghost card from taking effect.
The sixth store manager mission, the first ghost card, is finally about to appear.
……
In Red Forbidden and Black, the final time limit for collapse comes to just one minute, 60 seconds.
When the 60 seconds are up, the forbidden area will be completely swallowed up, and all the ghosts in the forbidden area will also be buried.
At the same time, the supernatural clearing under the action of the quill happened to be stuck at the same time point, 60 seconds.
This time the store manager's task has reached a point where he will never stop fighting.
The entire forbidden space was already in chaos, and the crushing feeling caused by the red color of the outer forbidden area had already caused about 50% of the original forbidden area to be ineffective.
Now that the supernatural events in the ghost cards have been released again, the original forbidden area has been weakened by at least 30%.
What can be seen is that in this originally black space, the frequency of red light shining is getting higher and higher, and many original layouts are being destroyed.
The walls and stones that began to fall from the ceiling represented the collapse of the original rules.
In this arrangement, four people, Gu Xingjian, Chang Sheng, Hou Guisheng, and Ji Li, stood together, two by two, facing each other.
Gu Xingjian and Chang Sheng were in the first row, Hou Guisheng and Ji Li were in the first row.
In the middle of the two parties, stood a ghost wearing human skin, sweeping past the four people with a sinister smile on his face.
Among the four people, Gu Xingjian was hiding in his black robe, shaking slightly, his sleeves trembling.
It seems that they are trying to rewrite the plot, but so far they have achieved little success, and they have not been able to stop the progress of a new round of supernatural events.
Ji Li, on the other hand, had bleeding eyes and a golden light flashing behind his back. He sometimes uttered gibberish and sometimes was cold and stiff.
As for Chang Sheng and Hou Guisheng, they stood obediently in their original positions, with their eyes facing each other, and there was a sense of tacit understanding among the people in the same store. "Hiss..."
After the human-skinned ghost glanced around, he suddenly put his right hand on his left hand and pulled off a large piece of skin on his left hand, revealing the dense white bones inside.
The skin seemed to it to be easily torn apart like a piece of clothing. It used its left hand, which had lost two-thirds of its skin, to shine the human skin and threw it at its feet.
It focused its gaze on Gu Xingjian, staring and waiting.
Gu Xingjian's head tilted back slightly, revealing half of his face, as if he was looking at her.
This new round of supernatural events was brought about by Chang Sheng. Except for him, there is absolutely zero information about what this ghost is capable of and how it kills people.
In particular, the behavior of this human skin ghost is so weird that it is completely confusing.
However, Gu Xingjian was an extraordinary person after all. He had a unique vision and figured out part of the inside story by "tearing off human skin" and "Chang Sheng's strict clothing".
"This ghost forced everyone present to take their positions, and it had a "one ghost versus four people" situation.
Since it is a game, there must be rules.
It had the appearance of human skin, something that tore off the human skin, and Chang Sheng's obviously ill-fitting coat was draped on his body.
Could it be that this supernatural event is a competition for human skin? ”
While he was thinking, the human-skinned ghost suddenly showed his left hand with the skin torn off, and raised five skull fingers.
At first, Gu Xingjian didn't understand what he meant, but then the five fingers turned into four, three, and two...
"Countdown!"
Gu Xingjian frowned. The short prescribed time meant that he didn't have enough time to think without knowing anything.
He can only rely on past mission experience to gamble on whether the rules are right or wrong.
When the time came to the last second, he wrote "eight words" - all the skin on his left hand fell off.
For a living person, skin is not just a protective tissue, it is also one of the prerequisites for mobility.
After the skin on his left hand fell off, Gu Xingjian's palm was bloody and bloody, with blood dripping down the black robe.
Even the corner of his face exposed under the hood had a rare look of pain.
For an unknown amount of time, no one had ever been able to put Gu Xingjian in such a difficult situation.
Even in the last store manager mission, when Ji Li killed him twice in a row, he had never looked so embarrassed.
The human skin fell to the ground, one to the left and one to the right of the ghost skin.
The human-skinned ghost picked up Gu Xingjian's skin, looked at it carefully for a moment, then compared it with the skin he had just torn off, and nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Xingjian already knew what was going on.
The method of killing people is through a gambling game.
Four people take turns betting against ghosts. The method of the game is also very simple - the ghost returns the skin first, and as long as the living person has a larger area of skin than it throws, it will be considered a winner.
This kind of complete self-mutilation cannot be called a "game" because it is simply unreasonable.
And Gu Xingjian vaguely guessed that this game would not be that simple.
Now is the first round, and the human skin ghost openly tears out human skin, which gives the clerks a clear way to win.
In the next round, people and ghosts secretly fight each other in a formal "gambler" game.
That is its real method of killing.
Immediately afterwards, the human-skinned ghost slowly turned around, and at the same time raised his hand and directly tore open all the skin from the head to the abdomen, covering the entire upper body.
Carrying a large piece of human skin, it aimed its gaze at Ji Li, who was blind and distracted, and then smiled cruelly.
