Chapter 1226 Self-proof Game
The quarrel only lasted a few seconds. Perhaps after the fear of the unfamiliar environment subsided, several people finally remembered that sentence - "Try to find out the evil spirit lurking among you, and expose his identity in public."
For a time, all distracting thoughts were eliminated, and the hustle and bustle turned into silence and suspicion.
No one can talk to anyone on the same front anymore, and all the voices heard are objects of suspicion, and may be the lurking evil ghost.
"Boohoo!"
At this moment, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the field, and torches lit up out of thin air outside the cell door.
The hot and yellow fire light completely exposed the originally dark prison cell, allowing all the people lying on the iron bars to see clearly the faces of the people in the cells opposite.
At the same time, in the center of this circle of cells is a climbing platform.
On the platform, which was only about two square meters, there was a vertical cage buckled on the stone steps.
This is undoubtedly a small cell, but instead of a human being, it is a ghost.
The ghost was naked, with long hair covering his face. Dark gray skin wrapped around a shriveled skeleton. The internal bone structure was clearly layered. He was holding the cage steel bars with two slender palms.
The seven people were silent, looking at this shriveled ghost in the brightly lit stone cell.
While the clerk was observing the ghost, it was also constantly examining the clerks in the seven cells.
It was in a crouching position, with most of its front face obscured by its long hair, but two ghostly red eyes could be vaguely seen between the hair.
The ghostly eyes scanned one shop assistant after another slowly and intensively, spending an average of half a minute on each one, looking at them very carefully.
And when it was transferred to Ji Li's cell, one person and one ghost looked at each other for the first time.
While examining each other, Ji Li discovered that the ghost's eyes seemed to contain some unspeakable supernatural power.
While being watched by it, Ji Li had a strange feeling of being seen through in his past and present lives, as if he had no secrets in front of it, and his soul was instantly seen through.
Similarly, Ji Li also discovered that this ghost not only had weird eyes, but also had two ears that were larger than those of a living person. The ears were pointed, thin and long, standing up like two blades and running through the hair.
However, what is unique is that the Grudge Ghost and Shao Yong'an and others basically looked at each other for half a minute, but he only looked at Ji Li for three seconds.
After three seconds, it turned its face to the next person's cell, Hu Li.
"What does this mean..."
The appearance of the shriveled ghost kicked off the project but it has not yet been fully launched, but some of its characteristics and performances have revealed some clues.
Is this project related to eyes and ears?
The ghost spent a few minutes carefully observing the seven people before making a sound for the first time.
The sound was also dry, as if it were an old, rusted machine. It was particularly uncomfortable to the ears and made people's hair stand on end.
"The first round of self-certification will start in half a minute, starting from number 1, taking turns in one circle."
No one can see where its voice comes from, but every word is sure to be heard.
When it said this, its slender right hand stretched out a knife-like finger and pointed it at a man.
This man was the first one to speak and wake up the others.
That is, it is two prisons away from Ji Li.
Ji Li quickly put his hands on the iron bars and tried his best to look to the left. This angle was just right to get a complete view of Cell No. 1.
The man in Cell No. 1 was wearing a light blue denim suit. He looked to be only about twenty years old, and he probably didn't have much experience in the mission.
At this moment, because the shriveled ghost was the first to name him, he was panicking. He was confused for a moment and didn't even understand what the ghost said: "What does self-certification mean in half a minute."
Ji Li, on the other hand, was calculating everyone's serial numbers.
Starting from the cowboy man number one and going to the right, he is exactly in the middle of the seven people, three on the left and three on the right.
This position is relatively average in terms of whether it is good or bad. But what Ji Li was thinking was that according to the guidance of the shriveled ghost, this project might be a process of "verification, selection and exposure".
There is an evil ghost among the seven clerks present. What they have to do is to take turns to prove to themselves that they are not evil ghosts.
The other six people need to analyze everyone's testimonies one by one to find the one with loopholes and choose him as the "evil ghost".
This rule is not complicated. Combined with the clown's explanation, once the "evil ghost" is found and exposed, the level is cleared.
So how to apply the clown's last tip - "memory"...
"Self-certification? What am I self-certifying for? Manager Ji, Brother Shao, can any of you teach me what to do?"
Ji Li was busy thinking about his own matters, and all the clerks who had not yet had their turn fell silent, apparently thinking about his testimony or the purpose of the rules.
Shao Yongan could only vaguely see Cell No. 1 from his position. He could not see the cowboy man's performance and could only capture it through words.
But from the current point of view, this person didn't even think about the rules explanation given by the clown, that is, it is difficult to even save him.
What's more, even if he could save her, he wouldn't save her.
Half a minute passed in the blink of an eye.
"Wow!"
There was a sudden metallic sound that was particularly loud. The lock of cell No. 1 where the cowboy man was located automatically opened and the door slowly opened.
The shriveled ghost looked directly at the cowboy man with strange eyes, squatted on the stone steps, and said in a clear tone:
"No. 1, please board the platform within 5 seconds. I will give you three minutes to self-certify. The countdown begins now."
The countdown is always the most oppressive thing. After hearing this sentence, the already dazed cowboy man hurriedly got out of the cell and rushed to the platform at an extremely fast speed. He happened to be standing in front of the shriveled ghost. the front.
Ji Li suddenly discovered that this shriveled ghost was a very good "disciplinary".
First of all, its identity as a ghost will naturally have a strong impact on store employees, thus forcing them to obey;
Secondly, with the help of this layer of deterrence, participants can complete the project process efficiently regardless of their mentality.
The cowboy man, who knew little about the project and was confused, was stunned after rushing onto the platform.
In order not to fall from the narrow stone steps, he was almost squeezed together with the wizened ghost in the cage. This was an even more difficult challenge for him who already had an indifferent attitude.
No one spoke anymore, everyone looked eagerly at him standing in a high position, waiting for his speech, even the ghosts.
But the cowboy man held it in for a long time, but he didn't know where to start. He asked a person to prove that he was just a person and had no clue at all.
It wasn't until his face was completely red and more than half of the self-certification time had passed that he reluctantly said:
"I...I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know why I came here suddenly?
I am really a good person, everyone must believe me.
Manager Ji, Brother Shao, and you, whoever can save me, I will be willing to work as a horse for you for the rest of my life..."
"Time's up."
The shriveled ghost didn't give him another chance to talk nonsense. At the moment when the time arrived, all the fire was extinguished.
It only went out for about a second, and then lit up again, and the cowboy man had returned to Cell No. 1 and was closed again.
The cowboy man's speech was of no value and wasted precious self-evidence. It is conceivable that if the evil ghost cannot be distinguished this round, then he will be the primary target.
Because for three whole minutes, he didn't even say his name or which branch he came from.
Whether it is because of fear or other reasons, a person without a basic identity has no reason to live.
Unless there are serious doubts in the self-testimony of others later.
