It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 154 Opening (4207 words in total)
When Lin Yi slowly walked into the wedding banquet scene again, he found that the scene in front of him had changed drastically.

The hanging decorations throughout the banquet were covered with a layer of black air, casting twisted shadows hovering among them.

The whole space was filled with an inexplicable uneasy and restless atmosphere.

The tableware on the table was no longer exquisite, but turned into a variety of grotesque utensils, each with mottled blood stains on it, emitting an unsettling light.

I don't know when several villagers dressed as waiters appeared around. They held up the trays with blank eyes, stood upright, and watched every guest who came in.

Whenever a guest sits down, the other person will lift the teapot on the tray and fill the cup with tea and water for the guests.

Crimson liquid slowly flowed out of the small teapot, and a hint of sweet aroma filled the air.

But in the center of the banquet, where the bride and groom should have stood, there was a huge stone statue.

The expression of the stone statue seemed gentle and kind, but there was an indescribable indifference in his eyes, as if everything was an ant.

Conflicting and weird.

Lin Yi said it very politely, but he just didn't want to take another step.

Lin Yi did not miss the flash of anxiety in the other party's eyes.

There is obviously something wrong with this tea.

Lin Yi couldn't wait any longer, so he could only walk forward slowly, continuing to observe the surrounding situation as he walked.

No wonder he was urged to take his seat. Was it about to start?
What happens if you don't take your seat?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly stopped and said, "I'm a little tired from walking, so I want to stand for a while."

He seemed determined to watch Lin Yi take his seat.

The smile on the young man's face was a little unbearable, and there was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

The young man smiled and said nothing, nor did he leave.

Before, the companion next to him still looked wary, but after the villager at the same table took a sip of tea, his whole person changed.

Unexpectedly, before my hand touched the person, I heard the other person shout: "What are you going to do!"

There were only a few empty tables left.

"You can go to your seat and rest."

It can make a person who has just experienced danger and been seriously injured immediately forget the pain.

There was a hint of eagerness in the young man's eyes, but there was still a smile on his face.

Only then did he notice that the round tables around him were gradually being filled.

The man named Shi Yong has been fascinated by the bride ever since he saw her, and he is still giggling to this day.

"Guest, please don't look around."

This unusual performance made Lin Yi feel moved.

"Guest, go this way."

The atmosphere is friendly, as if he is a member of the village.

His attitude was a complete 180-degree turn.

He noticed that the player who had been lying on the table with a broken arm had returned to normal and was chatting with the villagers next to him with a smile on his face.

The young man had been following Lin Yi. After noticing that his pace had slowed down, he whispered a reminder and took a step closer.

There was already a shadow cast on him.

"Guest, your seat is here." Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak, the young man spoke again.

The appearance of a voice interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts.

As the other person continued to drink tea from the cup, his expression became more and more relaxed and happy.

He didn't even have time to think about it.

Not only did his guard disappear, he even took the initiative to chat with the villagers about their daily life.

He decided to give it another try.

"Thank you." Lin Yi slowly stretched out his hand and pretended to straighten his clothes, and thanked the other party.

Seeing that the time was about to come, the young man no longer cared about covering up, and reached out to pull Lin Yi's arm.

He is a young man in his early twenties, with an upright appearance. He is wearing a dark blue top that has faded after washing. The waist has been repaired with black lines. It can be seen that the financial situation is not very good.

Not only the players with broken arms, but also the people from the other two tour groups who came in just now.

The sound was like a thunderous explosion, attracting the attention of everyone present.

There is no trace of the fear I felt just now.

"The banquet is about to start. Please take your seats first and watch slowly."

"Guest." The smile on the young man's face disappeared completely. He anxiously wanted to say something more, but Lin Yi ignored him.

"Why can't you watch?" Lin Yi stopped in pretending to be dissatisfied, turned to look at the young man, but actually took the opportunity to continue observing.

"Guest, we'll be here soon."

"No, no, I'm too tired. If you still have something to do, you can go first and don't worry about me."

The young man was also startled by Lin Yi's sudden shout, and he didn't want to do anything.

The banquet can only begin when the seats are full.

If the time was delayed because of the guests he entertained, the village chief would have to tear him apart.

He just wanted to carry the person to his seat.

There are rules for wedding banquets. Guests cannot be forced to do anything. They can only be guided with a warm attitude and high-quality service.

Unexpectedly, the first time he entertained guests, he would meet Lin Yi, a person who did not follow common sense.

"what happened?"

Someone came over after hearing the noise.

It's a middle-aged man.

He looked about thirty to forty years old, with a beard and brown work clothes. He seemed to be the leader of the young people.

"Uncle Qi." When the young man saw the middle-aged man, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Especially when he looked at each other, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Lin Yi glanced at the young man's slightly clenched and then immediately unclenched fist without saying a word.

The middle-aged man glanced at the trembling young man indifferently, and looked away from the other person.

He looked at Lin Yi with a smile on his face and said, "Guest, we didn't do a good enough job and we frightened you."

Without asking for specific reasons, he just decided on the matter directly.

When the young man heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and his mouth squirmed slightly as if he wanted to say something, but gave up under the sight of the middle-aged man.

There is something strange about the relationship between the two.

Young people seem to be particularly afraid of middle-aged men.

The middle-aged man has a harmless and even friendly aura about him.

It's really strange.

Lin Yi's thoughts were racing rapidly, he waved his hand and said, "No, no, he did a good job. I was distracted just now, and my reaction was a little bigger when I was touched."

"I see." The middle-aged man seemed to believe Lin Yi's words and did not look at the young man again.

The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a grateful look towards Lin Yi.

This move proved some of Lin Yi's guesses and ideas.

The middle-aged man in front of him was not simple, and even a little dangerous.

"Guest, the wedding banquet is about to begin. Please take your seat as soon as possible." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to make a leading gesture, staring at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said nothing more and just walked towards the designated seat.

He didn't notice that the middle-aged man behind him had a hint of gloom and murderous intent in his eyes.

Not long after I took my seat, a sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the door.

I saw a group of people in red wedding clothes jumping into the venue, some beating gongs, some playing drums, and some shaking bells in their hands.

Everyone in the team opened their mouths and sang a strange song.

"Red wedding dress, red wedding dress." "Why are you crying."

"Why are you crying."

"The red tears bloomed."

"The owner of the wedding dress is missing."

"The owner of the wedding dress is missing."

Their faces were painted with weird and exaggerated makeup, and two bright red flowers bloomed on their pale skin.

Grinning and singing.

The arc of everyone's smile was exactly the same, as if they had been deliberately trained.

These people in red walked around the whole wedding banquet scene and sang songs that made people shudder.

There is a strange and desolate meaning in the singing, which makes people feel a little creepy in their hearts.

In stark contrast to their playful expressions, their eyes were empty and terrifying, without any brilliance that humans should have.

The singing continued until the procession passed the central stone statue, and then stopped.

They suddenly stopped, divided into two groups in unison, and walked to both sides of the stone statue.

Each man in red found a seat and stopped, and the movements of banging instruments in his hands also stopped.

The only thing that didn't change was that they were still grinning, their smiles twisted and terrifying.

A pair of eyes stared blankly and indifferently at all the guests seated in front of them.

"What are you singing about?" A player muttered in a low voice, which was heard by the villagers with sharp ears next to him.

The villager glared at the player with an unhappy face, "What do you know? This is a blessing song. You foreigners really don't understand how to appreciate it. I really don't understand why the village chief invited you to the wedding banquet."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at the player and turned his head as if he was not willing to pay attention to him.

The player was choked and unconvinced and wanted to reason with others, "What should I do?"

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by another player sitting next to him. The other player lowered his voice and said, "You don't want your life. Why are you arguing with him? Don't forget where this place is. Calm down."

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze after seeing that both players stopped talking and remained quiet.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met a villager next to him.

He is an old man in his fifties with gray hair. He squints his eyes to see things and touches them with his hands from time to time. His eyes are not very good.

"Young man, let's have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." The other party enthusiastically stuffed a cup of tea into Lin Yi's hand.

The warm tea water passed through the tea wall to the fingertips.

The deep red tea in the cup exudes a cloyingly sweet taste.

After just taking a short breath of tea fragrance, Lin Yi felt as if he was wrapped in honey, and many happy little bubbles popped up in his heart.

Terrible.

It's a bit powerful.

I hadn't realized that the smell had such a terrifying effect even though I was far away.

"Thank you, uncle." Under the other party's eager gaze, Lin Yi had to hold his breath and cover himself with his hands.

His lips pretended to touch the wall of the cup, as if he was taking a sip.

There was a trace of satisfaction in the uncle's cloudy eyes, and he smiled: "You're welcome, there will be something delicious to serve later."

After speaking, the other party turned his attention to Ke Shaoyun sitting on the other side.

He used the same trick again to pass the tea.

"I don't like tea."

Ke Shaoyun held up the tea cup in his hand with a troubled expression.

One look at the color of the tea will tell you that there is something wrong and you should not drink it.

It also exudes a strange sweet smell, which is the smell he hates the most.

Ke Shaoyun was very resistant to this cup of tea, both psychologically and physically.

The smile on the uncle's face did not change when he heard this. He just stared at Ke Shaoyun and said, "Young man, tea is a good thing. You will know after one sip."

"But me" Ke Shaoyun was stared at by this terrifying sight, and his palms sweated unconsciously.

Before he could think of another excuse.

The other villagers sitting at this table also cast their eyes on Ke Shaoyun, all saying the same thing.

"One sip will make you happy."

"One sip will make you happy."

"One sip will make you happy."

Everyone's face was filled with enthusiastic smiles, and the same words were repeated mechanically, which was full of oppression.

Staring at the tea in Ke Shaoyun's hand with burning eyes.

It was obvious that the tea had to be drank, he couldn't escape it.

Just when Ke Shaoyun was panicking, his eyes met Lin Yi's gaze and he quickly sent out a signal for help.

Lin Yi secretly gestured to the other party and said with a smile: "Don't let down everyone's enthusiasm, just take a sip to save face."

"One bite?" Ke Shaoyun asked again with a grimace and uncertainty.

He really doesn't like sweet things.

"A small mouthful is like doing as the Romans do." Lin Yi emphasized his tone of voice, and he didn't know how much Ke Shaoyun could understand.

The villagers at the same table were still repeating the same sentence, their eyes never moved away, and they did not notice the small movements between the two of them.

Ke Shaoyun could only nod his head, raised his tea cup and took a sip with a frown.

After drinking, the terrible sounds and sights around me disappeared.

The pressure all over his body also dissipated.

It was as if nothing just happened.

Everyone at the same table was still laughing and chatting.

The old man is still the same old man, squinting his eyes and cracking melon seeds with a smile, exuding a harmless aura.

But neither Lin Yi nor Ke Shaoyun dared to be careless.

They all know that all this is just an appearance. As long as behavioral points like drinking tea are triggered, the illusion will be torn apart.

Ke Shaoyun wiped his mouth with his sleeve and spit out a small sip of tea in his mouth.

Although I didn't drink it completely, it still had some effect.

The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he felt an uncontrollable happiness in his heart.

You are clearly in a dangerous situation now, and you should be nervous, so why do you want to laugh so much?
The collision of rationality and sensibility caused a strange expression to appear on Ke Shaoyun's face.

Lin Yi saw the other person's unnatural smile, and his heart sank.

At the same time, Ah Qi, who came to the east room again, took a deep breath and opened the door.

The room was bright and tidy, decorated with bouquets and decorations, and the air was filled with a light floral fragrance.

However, if you look closely, you will find some subtle details that reveal a strange atmosphere.

everything looks normal
The betrothal gifts were neatly placed on the ground, some large and some small, each tied with bright red silk.

However, this time, Ah Qi discovered some subtle details that he had not noticed before.

One of the large gift boxes facing the window had a dark red thread tightly wrapped around it through the light.

The crimson thread was twisting constantly, as if it were binding some kind of living thing.

Ah Qi thought, maybe he found it.

The moment he stretched out his hand and prepared to take action, the red line on the big gift box suddenly twisted violently.
