Chapter 1169 There is no flaw
Cheng Ming's eyes showed madness. He pressed his left hand on the table and raised the butcher's knife in his right hand.
A male corpse wearing a black robe was lying quietly on the table. His left hand was skinless, only a blur of flesh and blood.
Gu Xingjian's stand-in had already landed in the palm of his hand. Cheng Ming, filled with an indescribable sense of excitement, raised the knife and dropped it without giving everyone time to react.
"Bang!"
The supporting character in the story actually had the right to kill the author, especially since the author was Gu Xingjian. Cheng Ming had no reason not to be excited.
When that invincible butcher's knife struck the substitute's neck, the body and head separated in an instant.
However, Cheng Ming looked expectantly at Gu Xingjian's face, which was half covered by the black robe. His face was calm and his eyes were as calm as a lake.
Gu Xingjian just looked at him quietly, expressionless and unmoved. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Hou Guisheng.
Bland neglect.
It was as if, in his eyes, what Cheng Ming did did not cause any trouble at all.
Cheng Ming didn't understand. He went from shocked to confused to unwilling, and he chopped again and again until the substitute was completely chopped into pieces.
But Gu Xingjian just stood there, unmoving.
"How is it possible..."
Cheng Ming couldn't understand that with his mind and the existing intelligence, he believed that even if this move could not kill Gu Xingjian, it would still seriously injure him.
How could it be that it had no impact now, as if the Gu Xingjian standing in front of him was fake.
……
Can half a human skin kill someone?
Theoretically, no one will die within a very short period of time.
The supernatural eradication will disappear in the blink of an eye. By then, Hou Guisheng will have countless means to ensure his own survival, but the most difficult thing is not to peel off human skin, but to peel it off.
Every time the bet starts, it lasts only about five seconds.
This is simply an impossible task for a person without special means to peel the skin.
The single rule leaves no loopholes to exploit.
The short deadline gave Hou Guisheng no chance to think about the solution. Instead, he could only be immersed in the only dilemma of "how to peel the skin within the specified time."
The countdown begins.
Hou Guisheng already held a handful of candies in his right hand. He was forced to look helplessly at Chang Sheng. How did the other party find a way out in this situation?
However, Chang Sheng quietly blinked at him, looked at the half piece of human skin in the hand of the human skin ghost, and nodded slowly.
Hou Guisheng understood its meaning immediately, and when he was about to drop the candy in his hand, the black mud ghost appeared again in the form of a boy.
But when it appears again, it is not a confrontation, but a skinning.
At the last second of the countdown, the skin of Hou Guisheng's lower body was completely peeled off, and he was teetering on the edge of collapse due to unsustainable strength.
Similar to Ji Li's situation, these two people lost nearly half of their skin when they went up and down.
But because the game is still going on, they are all restricted to the game and cannot fall until they die.
In the first round, we finally came to the last place.
As Chang Sheng had already completed the victory over the human-skinned ghost, he was the only one who knew how to survive. There was not much fear on his face, and the relaxation in his eyes could not be faked.
The human-skinned ghost also knew this in advance, so most of its killing intent had been released by the first three people, and it only had one pair of feet when it was Chang Sheng's turn.
Chang Sheng was also very familiar with it. After piercing the skin with a knife, he completed the cutting.
This is the end of the first round. The human-skinned ghost has completely lost its human skin. It is now more like a bloody ghost.
But at the beginning of the second round, it picked up the skin from the ground and put it on its body.
It didn't pick up more, it only picked up the human skin that it had dropped in the previous round. After putting it on its body, they automatically fit together, and the gaps slowly condensed, and finally returned to a complete human skin.
Round two begins.
The first place is still Gu Xingjian.
"簌!"
The light source suddenly went out after the second round started. The dark red light came from the power of the outside world, but Gu Xingjian could no longer see the movements of the human skin ghost clearly.
He even lost his hearing and had no idea how much skin the ghost had torn off this time.
The countdown method also changed from gestures to silence.
There is no clear time reminder, but it cannot exist, but it affects people's hearts.
The real bet appears.
Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye, but Gu Xingjian's expression still showed no obvious change.
Repeatedly in his mind, the ghost in human skin was torn apart and reassembled, the eyes of Chang Sheng and Hou Guisheng interacted...
"This second round holds a way out."
This is actually easy to guess. If the chance of survival is in the first round, then Chang Sheng will not just gamble, he will use it directly.
Of course, there is another possibility. Chang Sheng had a way out but didn't use it, just to drag Gu Xingjian to death.
But with Gu Xingjian's sense of smell, he could tell the clues at a glance.
This second round is a blind bet between the two parties. They don't know the area of human skin, and they all take it out to determine the winner.
Then there is a mystery hidden in this process.
Especially the inconspicuous move made by the human-skinned ghost between the first and second rounds.
It actually picked up all the human skins on the ground, and only picked up its own skin...
Is the chance of survival related to this move?
A glimmer of clarity slowly flashed in Gu Xingjian's eyes, and a guess about a way out came to mind.
At the same time, a sentence slowly condensed in front of him:
"The skin on the right leg fell off."
The words fell into effect, and the skin of Gu Xingjian's right leg fell to the ground as these words appeared.
This scene made Chang Sheng, who had been watching the battle, suddenly change his eyes and scream inwardly.
He quickly looked at Hou Guisheng and said silently with his lips:
"Gu Xingjian saw through the intentions of the ghost in human skin!"
One-on-one, the result of the gambling showdown with Gu Xingjian.
This time, the human skin ghost actually chose to peel off the skin of his single left hand, exactly the same as last time.
But Gu Xingjian was so bold that he only used one leg to defeat him.
Hou Guisheng's face was as gloomy as water. He stared coldly at Gu Xingjian under the black robe and cursed:
"Gu Xingjian at least has some rights as a writer and is the most advantageous person here besides Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng knows the way to survive. This second round of ghosts must kill people, otherwise it will be difficult to get another chance.
Then he was betting on the idea of a ghost.
Ji Li and I are the human-skinned ghost's biggest chance of accomplishing his goal, so it's impossible for the ghost to use a large piece of human skin to directly overwhelm the bet this round. ”
Hou Guisheng once believed that the arrival of Chang Sheng with a new round of supernatural events could eliminate Gu Xingjian's geographical advantage.
This is indeed done.
But unfortunately, it was only dispersed, and Gu Xingjian still retained part of his ability as a writer.
This gave the human-skinned ghost an opportunity to actively choose, causing the situation to fall into a complete deadlock.
At the same time, Hou Guisheng also saw some clues about this ghost.
The first round of gambling between human-skinned ghosts is a complete fight. Whoever tears off more skins will survive.
This second round of gambling, with the blessing of psychological warfare, is the real killer move.
The way to survive is actually not in the process of gambling, but in the "rest time" - the ghost picks up human skin.
As a ghost that uses human skin to kill people, the skin is very precious to it. It is a prop for gambling.
So theoretically speaking, shouldn’t the more “skin” the better?
Are the human skins belonging to the store clerks thrown on the ground in the first round really useless?
Hou Guisheng recalled one detail about the ghost - it never touches the skin of outsiders.
Even if the area is compared, it will stick close to observe without even touching.
Then the way to survive has basically surfaced at this moment.
As long as the human skin ghost touches the skin of the store clerk, it can destroy the medium of killing - the skin.
Hou Guisheng couldn't help sighing when he thought of this, and looked at Gu Xingjian with a rather weak look.
He couldn't believe that Gu Xingjian couldn't think of this way of survival.
Gu Xingjian must have thought of it, but he still accompanied the ghost in this game, even giving up the skin of his right hand.
The reason is simple...
Once Gu Xingjian uses the way of survival, it is equivalent to including the supernatural event of "ghost in human skin" as a replacement for the ghost card.
And this incident will cause conflict with the existing "Red Forbidden Black", thus completely depriving him of his existing geographical advantage.
Hou Guisheng shook his head helplessly. He was able to think about things so deeply, and not even a single flaw was exposed.
It was hard for him to imagine how to kill such a person...
"Ji Li, what are you thinking about? Are you trying to kill yourself by bringing Gu Xingjian here?"
