Chapter 1814 - 1814 Old Liang Family Residence, the Game Begins (2)

1814 Old Liang Family Residence, the Game Begins (2)
Song Yanru and Du Zhong originally wanted to ask Celestial Master Chi if she had received an invitation or a mission card, but there was suddenly a strange voice: Someone was singing the nursery rhyme “Drop the Handkerchief.”
“Drop the handkerchief, drop the handkerchief.
“Drop it gently behind the little friend’s back.
“Don’t tell her, don’t tell her.
“Hurry, hurry, catch her, catch her.
“Come, come, everyone, hurry and play the game. Not a single person can be missing, not a single one! Not a single one can be missing!”
The voice suddenly rang out, plus, it was in the middle of the night. Even though there were many people gathered together, the sudden voice almost scared everyone out of their wits. They screamed, their faces turned whiter than ever and their legs turned to jelly.
Screams rang out in the group!
“What’s that voice?”
“Where is it coming from?”
“Why is there suddenly a voice?”
“Holy sh*t, where is that coming from in the middle of the night?”
The more cowardly ones, such as Du Zhong and Lu Wenjing, were already scared out of their wits. The more courageous ones, such as Song Yanru, Lu Wenning and Fang Yu, were pale-faced and still tried to ask Director Huang if this was the production team’s doing.
Director Huang shook his head in confusion. Not only were Song Yanru and the others deathly pale and terrified, even Qi Hao felt his hair stand on end, especially when he stared at the dark trees around him. Qi Hao was alarmed and hurriedly stuck close to his sister-in-law. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on? What’s going on? Is this house haunted?”
As soon as Qi Hao said that, the atmosphere around them became even more tense. Everyone, who had been screaming, froze like ducks whose necks were being strangled, and they couldn’t scream no matter what. Everyone could only look at Celestial Master Chi in front of them in despair for help.
Before Chi Shuyan could reply, the nursery rhyme started up again.
“Drop the handkerchief, drop the handkerchief.
“Drop it gently behind the little friend’s back.
“Don’t tell her, don’t tell her.
“Hurry, hurry, catch her, catch her.
“Come, come, everyone, hurry and play the game. Not a single person can be missing, not a single one! Not a single one can be missing!”
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes in the direction of the voice. She didn’t reply to everyone, and just told them to get ready to play the game.
Before this, everyone would have definitely turned up their nose at this childish game – wasn’t it laughable for adults to play this game?
After listening to Celestial Master Chi, the others had questions in their hearts, but they didn’t dare quibble; they now understood more and more that the mission card which had been left at their doors truly hadn’t been a prank by the production team. Also, the appearance of the mission card this time made their hearts turn cold, especially when they saw the red word “death.” It was like a knife hanging over everyone’s heads.
The deeper one thought about some things, the scarier they were. Everyone could only obediently play the game.
Director Huang really took out a red handkerchief from somewhere.
Everyone crouched down together to play.
They drew lots, and the game started with Lu Wenjing. Then, everyone crouched down in a circle and faced inward.
As the song rang out, Lu Wenjing walked around outside the circle. Everyone stared at her stiffly, afraid that she would drop the red handkerchief behind them.
After all, before He Liuqing’s death, everyone treated the games and the draw for a ‘death method’ as casual and childish. Now, however, it seemed very likely that their lives were truly at stake. Who would dare not take the game seriously?
All of them stared at Lu Wenjing with wide eyes, and also at Celestial Master Chi on the side. If she behaved differently, everyone could follow suit.
It was a pity, however, that Master Chi acted no different from everyone else. Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were fine, but Song Yanru and Du Zhong, who valued their lives very much, were indignant. They were certain that Chi Shuyan was hiding something or even knew the truth, but didn’t reveal it to them at all. Between the two of them, Song Yanru in particular was very apprehensive.
What she was most worried about now was the change in Chi Shuyan’s attitude toward her. Before today, it could be said that the other party had treated her very well, but now, she naturally felt the distance.
Wait, could it be that Sister He had said something unpleasant to Master Chi before she died, and even mentioned her?
After all, Song Yanru had agreed to send Master Chi away just before Sister He died. Could it be that Master Chi already knew that Song Yanru was involved?
The more Song Yanru thought about it, the more she felt that before Sister He died, she had most likely tried to chase Master Chi out in Song Yanru’s name. Thinking this, Song Yanru could only feel cold and stiff with apprehension.
No wonder Master Chi’s attitude toward her had changed so much.
Song Yanru was filled with regret. No, no, she had to regain Master Chi’s trust today. Without Master Chi’s protection… Song Yanru’s whole body turned cold and she didn’t dare imagine it.
Before Song Yanru could think carefully, someone was already trying to catch her attention. Who else could it be but Du Zhong?
Song Yanru reacted and turned around. Only then did she realize that Lu Wenjing had dropped the red handkerchief behind her. Fear and resentment flashed in Song Yanru’s eyes. Without thinking too much, she quickly picked up the red handkerchief and chased Lu Wenjing around the circle. Unfortunately, she had been in a daze earlier and wasted a lot of time, so she couldn’t catch Lu Wenjing in the end.
Lu Wenjing’s apprehension didn’t disappear as she crouched in Song Yanru’s spot, afraid that Song Yanru would take her anger out on her. She really hadn’t meant to drop the handkerchief behind Film Empress Song just now.
Looking at Film Empress Song’s face, however, Lu Wenjing also understood that she had completely offended her this time.
Next was Song Yanru. It wasn’t that she didn’t hate Lu Wenjing for dropping the handkerchief behind her, but she was afraid that if she dropped the handkerchief behind Lu Wenjing, Celestial Master Chi would have a worse impression of her and think that she was a vengeful person.
In the end, she chose to drop it behind Fang Yu.
Song Yanru dropped it covertly and carefully. Fang Yu didn’t see it, and in the end, he couldn’t catch her.
Time passed by with round after round of the game. Almost everyone ran at least twice, with Du Zhong and Lu Ningwen taking the most turns. Of course, it was Du Zhong who was being deliberately provocative. Almost every time, the person he dropped the handkerchief behind was Lu Ningwen.
Lu Wenning, who was a good-tempered person, was also furious at Du Zhong’s provocation. After that, the two of them targeted each other. Unfortunately, it ended one last time. Lu Ningwen was unlucky. Du Zhong had just dropped the handkerchief, but before Lu Ningwen could chase him, the nursery rhyme suddenly stopped, and the game suddenly ended.
