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

Chapter 159 The chess game of life and death (4271 words in total)
"Tell me where Ah Wei is!" Wu Ronghua grabbed Lin Yi's hand excitedly, his eyes full of eagerness.

Lin Yi was stunned, "I don't know Ah Wei."

"Impossible! You must know! I saw it all. What you handed over was Ah Wei's red rope." Wu Ronghua shouted with red eyes, "Please, tell me."

"Where is he? Is he okay? Why doesn't he go home?"

The aunt's mood became more and more unstable, and she stared at Lin Yi persistently and kept asking questions.

Only then did Lin Yicai realize that the person in front of him was the woman who had been wailing at the door of the village chief's house.

At first, he was standing far away and didn't get a clear look at the other person's face.

Unexpectedly, she and the owner of the bracelet actually have a close relationship.

"I picked up this bracelet." Lin Yi looked at the aunt crying miserably in front of him. He couldn't bear to tell her the truth directly, so he could only choose a compromise question to answer.

When Wu Ronghua heard this, he was stunned.

So when the red rope appeared in someone else's hand, Wu Ronghua knew something was wrong.

Just to keep things safe.

"Thank you for telling me." Wu Ronghua got the answer, took a deep breath, wiped the tears on his face with his hand, looked at Lin Yi and reminded: "I don't know how you found out, but I am still very grateful. Tell me the whereabouts of my son."

"Then tell me, is he really gone?" Wu Ronghua paused here and did not continue.

She regained her composure again, looked at Lin Yi and said, "If you need any help, please come to me."

The aunt covered her face and cried bitterly. It was obvious that she already knew that her son was no longer alive.

"After this is over, I will help you take him home."

"I know where he is. The place is somewhat dangerous."

She let go of Lin Yi's arm, and her expression suddenly changed.

Wu Ronghua took two steps back helplessly, and fell to the ground without losing his balance.

"I know, but I have a reason to stay." Lin Yi patted Wu Ronghua on the shoulder, "My mentor is still here. I must find him and take him home."

The aunt's eyes turned red again when she heard this, her Ah Wei was still so young.

Then the situation of his son is self-evident.

Wu Ronghua personally went to the temple to pray for the red rope and put it on his son.

Lin Yi thought about it and finally told part of the truth.

He remembered being in the Bone Burial Ground. If it hadn't been for the claw of the owner of the red rope, his life might have been lost.

The aunt reminded in a deep voice.

if not
Wu Ronghua didn't know what he thought of, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I just said that he shouldn't go. He shouldn't."

But both of them understood the meaning.

"If you can leave here as soon as possible, leave the village chief and don't come back."

"He is just like you and Ah Wei to me."

"I hope you can tell me where you picked up Awei's red rope before you leave. I also want to find him and take him home."

He whispered: "This is not the place to talk, and the things are a bit complicated, and I can't explain them for a while."

"I picked it up. You said I picked it up."

"This is a cannibalistic place, and you will be in danger if you continue to stay."

Lin Yi has always kept it in mind, but now that he has met the other person's mother, he can't just leave it alone no matter what.

"Hahaha, how come you picked it up? You picked it up."

Lin Yi didn't answer, just nodded silently.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Lin Yi reached out hesitantly, trying to support Wu Ronghua, who was unsteady, but was pushed away by the other party.

"I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go alone."

"My son." The aunt choked with sobs several times. After finally calming down, she looked up at Lin Yi and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

She once told her son thousands of times not to take it off.

"Auntie, get up first. Don't sit on the cold ground." Lin Yi stretched out his hand to help Wu Ronghua up and looked around carefully. Fortunately, the movement here did not attract anyone's attention.

Ah Wei is also a filial and honest child, and he promised that he would never take it off no matter what happened.

The aunt kept repeating the same words, looking at Lin Yi with despair in her eyes.

Lin Yi had no reason to refuse Wu Ronghua's love for his son.

"Auntie, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't cry." Lin Yi softened his tone, walked over and knelt down to comfort him: "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Doesn't he understand what he said wrong?
Why the other person's emotions become even stranger.

But she still harbored a glimmer of extravagant hope, wondering if her son had given it to someone else and what message she wanted to convey.

Unexpectedly, it was Lin Yi who picked it up.

"Thank you very much."

Wu Ronghua showed a grateful smile, took out a red dried flower from his arms and handed it to Lin Yi.

"Outlanders are not allowed to eat the dishes at the banquet, as they may cause trouble."

"You take this dried flower, it can help you avoid some dangers and make you safer here."

The aunt explained the function of dried flowers in a low voice and left when no one was paying attention.

The red dried flowers still had a touch of warmth on the surface and exuded a very light aroma, which had no effect on Lin Yi.

General Momonga slowly crawled out of his sleeves and looked at the dried flowers in Lin Yi's hand and said, "You're lucky to have gotten the identity mark so quickly."

"Identity mark?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

General Momonga nodded and continued: "That's right. This is Higanbana's identity mark."

"Having it is equivalent to giving yourself a protective umbrella. Under normal circumstances, the villagers will not make things difficult for you."

"You will explore more freely and conveniently here."

"Unless of course you run into Higanbana itself, that's another story."

That's a good thing.

Lin Yi immediately put it away carefully and walked eastward according to General Flying Squirrel's guidance.

The fire has been extinguished, and many people are surrounding the place, as if discussing something.

He took the opportunity to squat down and sneak through the corridor, and saw Li Zhengguang hiding in the corner not far away.

"What's going on?" Li Zhengguang obviously heard the noise, but he was afraid of being exposed and didn't dare to get closer.

Lin Yi briefly said a few words about what happened, which made the other party sigh.

After a while, the crowd dispersed and the surroundings became quiet again.

Only then did the two of them dare to emerge from the corner.

Lin Yi stood in front of the room that was burned by the fire, looking at the ashes and ruins with mixed emotions.

The house that had been engulfed by the flames was in ruins, with broken walls scattered on the ground, and black smoke curling up from the wreckage, filled with a pungent burning smell.

The burn marks left by the raging fire were clearly visible on the walls.

And this change only occurred in less than twenty minutes.

The house adjacent to the burned room was also affected by the fire. The walls were scorched, the window glass was broken, and black smoke rose, creating a miserable scene.

Despite everything happening here, the front yard is still bustling with activity.

The laughter and laughter floated into Lin Yi's ears along the wind.

"Let's go to the house you mentioned and find the person first."

Lin Yi said, turned around and left here.

The two of them went straight to the room on the east side where the bride price was kept.

The room was still the same as before, silent and unchanged.

The placed items are also in their original places.

The windows were open and there were no other signs. "Where did you pick up the coin?" Lin walked into the room and looked around, but didn't find anything strange.

It looks like a very ordinary room.

Li Zhengguang pointed in the direction of the big gift box, "It was found on the ground there."

Lin Yi followed the position of the other person's finger and walked over, his eyes falling on the big gift box.

The red silk tied the gift box tightly and tied a beautiful bow.

"Have you opened this and looked at it?" He stretched out his hand and turned to look at Li Zhengguang and asked, "Have you checked it?"

Li Zhengguang shook his head, "People disappeared inexplicably. I didn't dare to stay longer for fear of losing myself too."

While the two were talking, the red rope hidden under the gift box twisted violently again and split into countless red threads.

The next second, Lin Yi's hand touched the red silk.

With a whoosh, countless red threads flew out, flexibly weaving into a red net, ready to trap him.

The red dried flowers in his arms were slightly warm, as if they were hinting at something.

"What!" Li Zhengguang looked at the red net binding Lin Yi in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to come over and help.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi immediately realized that there was something strange about the red rope on his body, and quickly shouted to the other party, "Don't come over."

The temperature of the dried flowers is getting higher and higher, exuding a sweet and greasy aroma, which is stronger than when I got it before.

[It has been detected that you have been poisoned, current toxicity: 38]

[It has been detected that you have been poisoned, current toxicity: 39]

[It has been detected that you have been poisoned, current toxicity: 40]

The system kept broadcasting reports, and Lin Yi felt miserable listening to them.

The toxicity, which had finally been reduced, increased by three points.

But he couldn't throw away the dried flowers in his arms.

Seeing that the concentration of the surrounding aroma was getting higher and higher, the red line on Lin Yi's body relaxed as if he was drunk.

Soon it was broken down into countless red threads from a strong net.

Little by little it shrank back to its original position.

At the same time, the dried flowers hidden in Lin Yi's arms stopped generating heat, and the fragrance was slowly dissipating.

After another five minutes, the dried flowers had returned to normal, and the aroma in the air was almost gone.

Lin Yicai opened the big gift box.

What's inside is astonishing.

It turned out to be a chess game, which looked a bit like the flying chess he had played when he was a child.

The chessboard is covered with colorful squares, each with a different icon.

There is a coin-sized black hole and a button on the far right edge.

The button is green.

There is a dice pattern drawn on it.

There is a transparent glass frame next to the button, I don’t know what it is for.

"Hey, there are three little people here." Li Zhengguang came over and discovered the three humanoid dolls standing at the starting position on the chessboard.

Their details are so lifelike that they seem to come to life.

Lin Yi took a closer look and found that the three human-shaped doll chess pieces looked exactly like the people they knew.

"He and the others" Li Zhengguang also noticed the clue and stared at the three motionless dolls carefully for a while in surprise.

Ah Qi, Ah Jiu and Dapeng were all imprisoned on the chessboard and became chess pieces controlled by others.

Lin Yi carefully inspected the chess game and the three humanoid chess pieces.

Each chess piece has unique characteristics and represents a different identity.

Ah Qi holds a piece of gold in his hand, which represents doubling wealth.

Ah Jiu holds a sickle in his hand, which represents doubling the force.

Dapeng holds an abacus in his hand, which represents doubling intelligence.

The words "Safe Exit" are written on the end of the chess game.

Presumably, you control the chess pieces and use dice to gain action points to advance.

During this period, you will pass through various levels, and you will be victorious if you reach the end before the humanoid chess pieces are damaged.

There are a total of thirty-six squares on the chessboard, divided into seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. The darker the color, the higher the risk factor. Purple means death.

Lin Yi simply told Li Zhengguang his guess.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Soon Li Zhengguang broke the silence, "I'm not very good at playing games, so you should do it."

"At least there is a glimmer of hope, otherwise they will be trapped here until they die."

"Whether they survive or not depends on their own luck."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh and looked away unbearably.

The pressure was put on Lin Yi.

Looking at the three humanoid dolls on the chess board, he felt as if his hands were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

This is no longer a lighthearted game, but a heavy fate.

A minute later, Lin Yi tried to press the green button with a dice pattern on it, but there was no response at all.

It seems that the coin is the key prop to start the chess game.

He took out the coin with the bird pattern engraved on it and slowly put it into the black hole.

Only a crash was heard.

After the coin fell into the black hole, the green button lit up instantly.

A childish voice came from the chessboard, "The game begins, please throw."

The appearance of this voice startled Li Zhengguang, and at the same time made Lin Yixin sink.

They only have two coins in their hands, which means there is still one person who cannot be rescued.

"Did you only see these two coins?" Lin Yi asked with a frown.

Li Zhengguang nodded and replied affirmatively: "I just picked up two coins on the ground, and nothing else."

"What's wrong?" he asked in confusion.

Lin Yi pointed to the location of the black hole and explained: "One coin corresponds to one humanoid chess piece. There are three humanoid chess pieces here, but there are only two coins."

"Then I'll search nearby. Maybe I missed it before." Li Zhengguang understood what Lin Yi said. The coin was very important.

Without it, the game cannot be launched.

"The game depends on you, and the coins are on me."

After speaking, he squatted down and began to search the carpet inch by inch.

Lin Yi reached out and pressed the green button again, and this time there was a reaction.

A randomly rotating number 3 appeared on the transparent glass frame that did not know what it was for.

A second later, the humanoid chess piece holding the abacus started moving and moved forward three squares.

Stopping on the orange color, the name of the level, Quiz, appeared in the blank space of the board.

Xiao Ming has a large family, including grandparents, uncles, parents, aunts and uncles; each second-generation family has one son and one daughter, the third-generation men are all married and have a son, and the third-generation girls are not yet married.

Please calculate how many people there are in Xiao Ming’s family?
If you answer correctly, move forward two spaces; if you answer incorrectly, go back two spaces.

The two squares forward are on the red grid, which is the lowest-risk level, while the two squares back are on the blue grid, and the level of danger is only slightly lower than the purple sure death.

Although Lin Yi already knew what the answer was, he could not answer it and had to let the humanoid chess piece answer it himself.
