    Ye He couldn't help but thank Windsor for her loud voice, so that he didn't have to try every means to eavesdrop.

    Realizing that because of Windsor's words, the mayor frowned, and his expression was a little sulky: "What do you mean by this?"

    The man next to the mayor was silent. His ordinary appearance made no impression. The attention of several people in Windsor was on the mayor, and only Anderser's thoughtful eyes fell on the man.

    The other two players pretended to hold Windsor, but they did not open their mouths to reprimand each other. The cameraman stood there dumbly, watching this scene in confusion.

    Seeing the mayor's appearance, Windsor became more angry, she said coldly: "You know what I mean, is my companion's death related to you?!"

    What, someone died again? !

    Ye He was surprised, he had never heard of this news. He looked at Bob subconsciously, and found that Bob was also confused.

    Ye He said unsurely and systematically, "This is the fourth person who died in the town this month, right?"

    System: [No wonder there are few people in the town. 】

    Although can't hear the mayor's words clearly, but seeing Windsor being dragged by his companions did not rush forward, Ye He guessed that the mayor should be defending.

    And similar to what Ye He thought, the mayor was indeed quibble at this time. Even when he heard Windsor’s accusation, his expression was not hurried: "I know it is difficult for you to accept the departure of your companions, but this matter has nothing to do with me. The evidence is there, and I am trying my best to help you find and kill. The murderer of the dead companion."

    "Besides, I met you on a peaceful basis. You came here to shoot a promotional video for the town. I thank you for being too late. What reason do you have to harm your companions?"

    He spoke in a high-sounding voice, and Lilian, who was standing next to Windsor, couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you let us search the town?"

    Lilian, who has always been at odds with Windsor, is also on Windsor's side at this time, but unlike Windsor's purpose, she has been in the copy for a long time, naturally, not for the illusory companionship, but for herself.

    The dead companion was Jim, one of the three male players. Lilian felt his scalp tingling when he thought of the death of the other player.

    Although Windsor’s tone sounded good, the mayor still felt the feeling of being questioned and couldn’t help but sneered: “If you rush to search the town, it will cause the residents to panic. Of course, as the mayor, I have to consider the overall situation. Seriously, it is impossible for you to disrupt the original stable order of the town. Even if you are from above, you have to make some sense, right?"

    "What's more, I have done everything I can, and I have a clear conscience."

    He didn't seem to want to talk to Lilian and the others. He winked at the man beside him and wanted to go around. Unexpectedly, Anderse, who had been silent, suddenly reached out and stopped him.

    Anderser blocked the mayor’s way, and the mayor had to stop no matter how reluctantly, and looked at Anderser angrily: "You..."

    Unexpectedly, Anderse didn’t just criticize him as the mayor thought. The other person’s eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to the mayor: "Mayor, where are you two going? Haven't seen it before, is it also an outsider?"

    Because of the previous argument, the mayor’s tone was not very good: "This is a resident of the town, who lives in a simple way on weekdays, now come out with me to do some things."

    Anderse's gaze fell into the bag that the other party was carrying, and the man was staring at him all the time. Although his expression didn't change, his eyes still flashed a little nervously. The bag he had been carrying suddenly moved. Although the middle-aged man quickly turned his body sideways, trying to block the bag with his body, Anderse still saw it clearly.

    The mayor's Yu Guang has been on the man, and at this time he also noticed the other party's abnormality, and his tone became a little more anxious: "Don't tell me, we are still busy, please do it yourself."

    And after his voice fell, Andersy also stepped aside to open a path.

    The mayor gave Anders a suspicious look, obviously even he himself didn't expect the other party to be so happy. But when he thought about it, he knew that Anderse was obviously a smart man and didn't want to offend him.

    And Ye He noticed that this time the mayor and the man did not go to the next house according to the original plan, but left here first, as if they were afraid of being discovered by Anderse.

    But what made Ye He even more curious was the death of Anderse's companion. After all, the long-haired Yu Jie's weird look when she talked about suicide really made him feel extra curious.

    Anderse's gaze suddenly crossed the shoulders of his companions around him, and he met Ye He's gaze.

    Ye He realized that he had been discovered by Anderse, and quickly showed an apologetic smile to the other party, and withdrew his head from watching the excitement.

    Seeing the young man who retracted like a frightened rabbit, Anderse also closed his eyes.

    Windsor and Lilian were already surrounded by him, and Windsor was staring at the back of the mayor leaving with an angry look: "He must know something..."

    Anderson saw Windsor with red eyes, and said softly: "There are so many people here, let's go back and talk about it."

    The other party's gentle tone greatly comforted Windsor, who was about to collapse at this time. She nodded while crying, and was helped by Lilian and walked forward.

    Compared with the previous lives, the atmosphere in the team was very sluggish this time, and the miserable death of their companions appeared in front of them, as if it cast a miserable shadow on them.

    The cameraman followed them for a few steps and couldn’t stand the atmosphere. Seeing that there was no need for camera work at this time, he made an excuse to wander around and turned to leave. The other players naturally couldn’t wait for him to leave the team. The next few players returned to the temporary house.

    Because there are very few outsiders in the town, there is no hotel or the like, so they can only temporarily live in one house, and for safety, every two people live in one room.

    Anderse lives with the cameraman, while the remaining two male players live in one room. However, yesterday morning, the sky was bright, and Aaron, who lived with Jim, had washed up and was ready to go downstairs, and found that Jim was still lying on the bed with his back to him, seeming to be sleeping.

    Aaron called Jim's name several times, and when he found that the other party did not respond, he walked to the bed subconsciously. Under the sun, he faintly saw that there seemed to be a red thread on the back of Jim's neck from the quilt. I didn't care, but reached out and pushed Jim's back: "Man, get up for breakfast!"

    However, in the next second, something unexpected happened-Jim turned over and lay flat on the bed, revealing the neatly intertwined "red lines" on his body.

    Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly split up neatly in accordance with the place where the red line was. The blood flowed out from the incision in an instant, and the blood splashed all over, wet the sheets and walls.

    And when Anderse and the others rushed up when they felt something was wrong, they saw Jim that was cut neatly and divided into pieces like a fruit, and there was also Jim standing sluggishly by the bed with blood on his face. Aaron.

    The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, as if entering a slaughterhouse.

    Lilian glanced at her and turned her head with a chill on her back, while Windsor was frightened and burst into tears. Anderse walked forward calmly, looking at the smooth human tissue at Jim's fracture, a trace of coldness passed through his amber eyes.

    And what Aaron saw on Jim at the time was not a red line at all, but a knife edge.

    After Aaron reacted, he couldn't help but vomit, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "How come...Who killed him?!"

    He still remembers that Jim before going to bed at night greeted him normally, and the two of them discussed together Windsor and Lillian who are in better shape...

    What's more, Aaron is not heavy in sleep, and can wake up with a slight noise, but he did not hear any movement that night, and fell asleep till dawn.

    Could it be that when he was washing in the morning, someone sneaked in and killed Jim? but.......

    Aaron's mind is confused.

    Anderse glanced at the cutting edge: "It can't be done by humans."

    The incision was like a precise measurement, and every piece of Jim's body was cut very evenly.

    Because Uncle NPC is still eating downstairs, he can speak straightforwardly.

    As soon as his words came out, the expressions of all the people present changed, and they all understood the meaning of Anderse's subtext.

    Instead of being killed by a murderer, then there is a possibility left-Jim was killed by a ghost.

    Everyone's expressions suddenly turned bleak, and Aaron's face was even more pale. After all, Jim's bed was only a few centimeters away from him at the time, rounding up, he also passed by the ghost who killed Jim.

    Lilian quickly recovered her calm and asked, "Why did you choose Jim? Could it be that we accidentally triggered something?"

    It is precisely because they are afraid of accidentally touching the death condition that they are very cautious even when they go out these days, but they still touched something unknowingly.

    But even if they knew there were ghosts in this town, they couldn't leave, after all, their mission hadn't been completed yet.

    It didn't take long for the owner and his wife of this house to come up to check the situation because of the fact that Anderse and his party did not come down for a long time.

    Facing the bloody scene on the bed, the woman paused and couldn't help but screamed, rolled her eyes and fainted, while her husband barely supported her, trembling with both legs while calling the mayor .

    Because there are no police officers in the town, they habitually call the mayor when a case occurs.

    At that time, the mayor came very quickly. After seeing Jim's body, his face was instantly pale, and he stepped back subconsciously, his shoulders trembling badly.

    After a delay of ten minutes, he recovered from the bloody scene of the corpse before him, and began to question the owner of the house and Anderse and them, and finally concluded that Jim's death was a crime he killed.

    Thinking of this, Windsor said angrily: "At the time, he was still enthusiastic about helping us catch the murderer. It's disgusting to think about it now!"

    If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't let the mayor take away Jim's body, they were thinking of burying themselves, fearing that they would let the mayor get through.

    At that time, the mayor saw that they could not tell them to take the corpse, and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, Anderse found a line of small characters that seemed to be written in blood on one of Jim's corpses: Quinn.

    And Quinn is the name of the mayor.

    As a player, Jim and the mayor are not related to each other, so it is naturally impossible to tattoo the mayor's name on his body inexplicably.

    The eyes of the few people also fell on the mayor who was about to leave. Aaron failed to contain his emotions, and first shouted in surprise: "This... how can there be a name on this?!"

    Hearing Aaron's words, the mayor suddenly showed a nervous look: "How is it possible?!"

    He walked over as he talked, but when he was about to walk to the bed, the word "Queen" on Jim's body disappeared, and the mayor squinted his eyes and looked at him with disgust, naturally it was impossible to see. What's the name?

    The mayor's face was obviously relaxed for a moment, and he asked doubtfully where there was a word. Except for the mayor, everyone else had already clearly seen the name.

    Everyone present at this time had already understood that Jim's death could not be separated from the mayor in front of him. They asked the mayor to search the town and find clues about the murderer, but the mayor also vetoed it.

    The mayor did not ask for the answer and was impatient, so he asked one last time if he wanted to help dispose of Jim's corpse. After getting a negative answer, he turned and left. He didn't seem to notice the sight cast on him.

    After the mayor left, the owner of the house did not dare to stay too much, and helped his fainted wife to go down first. And it was not until only a few of them were left in the room that Aaron asked, "The mayor... is he a ghost?"

    As soon as his words came out, Windsor and Lilian couldn't help but their faces changed. After all, they were also dealing with the mayor these days. If the other party was really a ghost, they almost brushed past the danger.

    Anderse shook his head, his handsome face evoked a soothing smile: "He is not a ghost. When he saw Jim's corpse, his expression also showed fear, not as if he knew it from the beginning. ."

    Hearing Anderse's words, the three people felt relieved. At that time, their attention was on Jim's corpse, and fortunately Anderse had been watching the mayor's reaction.

    Lilian looked at Anderser: "Then why does he have the mayor's name on his body?"

    Anderse said calmly: "I have a guess."

    "It should be that the mayor used some method to make Jim die for him."

    "What?!" The three looked at each other, but they have to admit that Anderse's idea is reasonable-it is because Jim is replacing the mayor, so the mayor's name is on his skin.

    It's just this thought that made them hate the mayor's sinister and viciousness, and even regarded them as dead ghosts.

    And what makes them most afraid is that this is probably just the beginning, after all, perhaps the mayor doesn't just need a surrogate.

    Windsor and Jim are people from the same place, and they have not experienced several copies, so they have a common topic. Now that Jim died, Windsor's sorrow not only came from the fear that he would end up with the same end, but also the sorrow of losing half of his friend.

    Jim's death has become a shadow on her head, so now when I saw the mayor again, Windsor, who had the worst psychological quality, could no longer control his emotions, and directly quarreled with the mayor.

    Lilian sighed: "It's all to blame for our previous attention on investigating Robert, and we didn't notice the mayor's abnormality."

    Aaron comforted: "After all, our mission this time is related to Robert."

    That's right, the task of several people in this copy is to find evidence about Robert, and shooting a promotional video of the town is just their excuse.

    But as for what crime Robert committed, the task did not say, they had to investigate by themselves.

    On the first day they arrived in the town, they received a call about Robert's killing. At that time, several people thought that their mission could be completed so quickly, and held back their joy to persuade the mayor to take them home. It was only disappointing for a few people that when they arrived, there was only Robert in the villa, and apart from a mess in the living room, there was no appearance of the murder scene.

    Lilian and the others found another excuse to stroll around in the villa, but there was no second person besides Robert in the house. And the calls they received were anonymous, so several people couldn't find out who was calling, so they had to treat it as a prank.

    When investigating the town, they also encountered obstacles. The people in the town have been greeted, and they have no intention of answering their questions. Only Anderse’s inexplicable attraction to women caused some girls to reveal some information, saying that Robert has a few friends who have been playing together, but the reporter team came recently, and Robert was not allowed to go out by his father.

    Obviously, the mayor is afraid of something. It is precisely because the focus of the investigation has been placed on Robert, who was hidden by the mayor, that caused the group to ignore the small actions the mayor might make.

    The more Windsor thought about it, the more angry: "I said there is no reason to harm us. It must be because we feel that we are foreigners and are easy to bully, so that we are regarded as dead ghosts!"

    If it weren't for fear of revealing his true mission, Windsor would have spoken to refute the mayor's plausible words just now.

    Aaron: "But we don't know what method the mayor adopted."

    As soon as his words came out, Windsor suddenly became a little frustrated. This is also what scares them. They don't know why the mayor can use them as substitutes for the dead, and why the ghosts can come out to kill.

    "Anderse, what are you thinking about?" Lilian looked at Anderse who seemed to be meditating, and realized that the other party had been silent for a while.

    Anderse came back to his senses and smiled: "The middle-aged man next to the mayor is a bit strange. The bag he was carrying moved, and the mayor saw it, and immediately wanted to leave here anxiously."

    "Yes, those two people just came out of the same store. Let's find a time in the afternoon to ask the owner." Aaron suggested first.

    Naturally, the others have no opinion.

    Bob eavesdropped for a while and had to retract his head because his neck was too short and tired, so he didn't realize the embarrassment of being caught in the same way as Ye He, but instead pestered the other party to ask what happened.

    Ye He sighed, "There is another dead person in the town."

    Bob's face changed suddenly: "What? Is there a murderer in our town? How many people is this month?"

    Ye He found that Bob was very interested in things other than learning. Seeing the trembling appearance of the little fat man, although he didn't know how Anderse's companion died, he still comforted: "Aren't those previous suicides?"

    Unexpectedly, Bob shook his head, glanced around, making sure that there was no one around, and said: "I didn't have time to say it just now. I heard my buddy say that my goddess and her uncle were very miserable when she died... "

    Even things about the goddess's house must be heard from others, Ye He felt that the fire of love between Bob and the goddess had been quietly extinguished.

    But looking at the little fat man's enthusiastic appearance, Ye He still swallowed hard in his heart.

    Bob didn’t know what Ye He was thinking at this time. He lowered the volume and pretended to say mysteriously: “It’s still good at night. When his family called in the morning, he found that he only had a complete human skin. On the bed, the remaining fat and liver appeared in the trash can..."

    He shuddered as he talked, originally trying to scare Ye He, but he scared himself first. Seeing that Ye He didn't panic at all, he instantly cast a look of worship.

    system:【......】

    Just by looking at Bob's eyes, he knew that the other party obviously hadn't learned what Ye He looked like when he saw a ghost.

    Hearing what Bob said, Ye He also felt a little strange. After all, listening to the other party's description, that person's death was not like suicide at all.

    Bob rubbed his arms: "I suspect that there is a murderer in the town. Close the door when you sleep."

    Ye He glanced at his table and decided to put the table behind the door before going to bed at night.

    Bob's fear came and went quickly, and after a while, he happily ran out to give the goddess a birthday present.

    Ye He touched the black cat and looked at Bob's leaving back. He couldn't help but sighed in his heart: "He is still too young at this time, I don't know that God has quietly closed a window for him at this time."

    System: [...Which window? 】

    Ye He looked faintly: "The window where you can't fall in love with the goddess."

    System: [Actually, your destiny has already set the price in secret, do you want to know? 】

    This is the first time it has actively talked about fate in front of Ye He, and there is a bit of temptation in the unwavering mechanical sound.

    This can be regarded as the bad taste before the system, and sometimes the host will be tempted to come to colleagues to estimate their future and destiny in advance through probabilities and data. Almost no host can escape this temptation to predict the future, but no host is willing to follow the original destiny.

    As soon as he said it, he regretted it, fearing that Ye He would embark on the old path of some of his hosts.

    Ye He asked suspiciously: "My life was priced clearly before long, is it one hundred per minute?"

    For some reason, after hearing Ye He's words, the system felt relieved, but still pretended to indifferently said: [...Forget it. 】

    There was a little more hope in Ye He's expression: "Does this price still have room for downward fluctuations?"

    System: [Prices up and down are called fluctuations, and prices down are called bargaining. Don't take the opportunity to confuse the concept. 】

    It can be regarded as understanding why it regretted it just now, it must be because it had noticed in advance that Ye He would definitely pick up the plane and bargain.

    Ye He's purpose was ruthlessly exposed by the system, and he was suddenly disappointed.

    In the afternoon, Ye He saw Anderse and his party walking in, and his body suddenly stiffened.

    Whether it was because of the other's appearance or because he had saved himself, Ye He had a deep impression on Anderse.

    Anderse smiled and greeted him: "Meet again."

    His gaze fell on the black cat in Ye He’s arms. The black cat seemed to have noticed the gaze from Anderse, with his front paws resting on the table and leaning forward, as if he wanted to catch prey and was ready to go. Little leopard. However, it soon realized that one of its paws was wrapped, and when Ye He Yuguang glanced over, it immediately put away the paws, and returned to its weak appearance.

    Anderse had a panoramic view of the black cat's movements, and a few thoughts flashed under his eyes.

    Ye He didn't expect the other party to remember him, and he greeted him flattered.

    The system whispered the devil in his ear: [After all, you just got caught for peeking this morning. 】

    Ye He: "......"

    Fortunately, Anderse didn't mention his peeking, but asked softly: "Excuse me, the mayor has been here before, haven't you?"

    Although he was asking, Ye He heard a certain meaning inexplicably.

    Ye He understood that the other party should have seen the mayor leave from him, so knowing that denial was useless, so he nodded simply.

    Anderse was not surprised by Ye He's answer, and Aaron next to him was already anxious and asked: "What did the two of you say? Tell us!"

    Before he could finish speaking, he noticed Anderse's gaze coming over, and suddenly realized that his tone was a little stiff.

    Anderse looked at Ye He apologetically: "Sorry, his tone is a bit anxious, because this matter is really important to us."

    Because Anderse saved himself, Ye He said honestly: "They didn't say anything, they just came in and walked around, and then they said they went to the next house and left."

    He paused and added his guess: "I think they should be looking for something."

    Windsor showed a disappointed look: "That's it? They didn't even say anything?"

    Ye He nodded: "The mayor broke in suddenly, so I was caught off guard and didn't ask anything."

    Hearing what Ye He said, Anderse paused, then suddenly asked: "Then did they take anything out of the bag?"

    Ye He: "By the way, there is something like a compass that was put into the bag by the middle-aged man next to the mayor."

    Hearing Ye He's words, the three Lilians standing behind Anderse suddenly showed a look of surprise.

    Ye He's words verified Anderse's guess, it was obvious that the middle-aged man had a problem, maybe he was the helper the mayor found.

    As long as the middle-aged man is caught, they may be able to get rid of the situation of being used as a substitute for the dead by the village chief.

    Ye He looked at the few people who were inexplicably excited, and couldn't help wondering if what he just said was "Come on."

    Andersy thanked Ye He, making Ye He waved his hand a little embarrassingly: "No..."

    His words were suddenly broken by crying. Hearing this familiar business, Ye He said painfully in his heart: [Sure enough...]

    Hearing the cry of painful wolf howling and broken heart, the group turned their heads and saw a little fat man crying while struggling across the threshold and heading straight to Yehe: "Brother Revere, I... My Goddess......"

    He obviously couldn't say anything anymore, and he had several crying hiccups.

    Ye He said calmly, "I'm with your brother."

    Ye He was not surprised by the fate of Bob's love. After all, the moment he heard "buddy" from his mouth, he knew that the other party's love was destined to be bumpy.

    "Almost, they went walking in the park with me behind their backs." The little fat man choked and stopped crying: "But Brother Revere, how do you know, do you have this experience too?"

    Ye He: "...Of course not."

    System: [Yes, you don't even have love. 】

    Seeing that the little fat man looked at him still full of sympathy, Ye He rectified his name: "I just understand love."

    When Windsor and Lilian heard what he said, they immediately cast a surprised look, apparently treating Ye He as a hidden scumbag.

    Windsor covered her mouth and whispered: "I really didn't see it..."

    Lilian also glanced at Ye He several times: "I hate scumbags the most!"

    Although it is not clear what Windsor and Lilian are whispering, this does not prevent Ye He from being able to feel the strange sight cast on him, making Ye He a little confused.

    Bob was immersed in grief, so he didn't notice that there were other people present.

    He put the card that he had held in his hand on the table: "She didn't accept my gift, and I don't want to see this card again. Brother Revere, just give it to you."

    He has made up his mind to say goodbye to this love. After crying tonight, he still smiled and blessed the goddess and buddies, and he didn't want to see this card that witnessed his love failure again.

    It was an exquisite hairpin with a cute little pillow on it. All Bob's pocket money was poured into it, but in the end it couldn't be worn on the head of his beloved goddess. Because the price was very high for Bob, it was a pity to lose it, so he decided to give it to Ye He.

    Of course Ye He could not want to issue the card. He grabbed the card on the table and wanted to return it to Bob: "I don't..."

    He doesn't need to issue a card.

    As soon as Ye He’s fingertips touched the hairpin, he heard the voice of the system coming from his ear: [ding——Congratulations to the host for obtaining the bound props——]

    [This item is successfully bound to you. 】

    What? This little hairpin is actually a prop? !

    Although he didn't know what it was, but when he heard that he had been bound to himself, Ye He changed his words: "I don't know you know me so much!"

    The author has something to say: [If Ye He really does a fortune telling]

    When fate was he, Ye He: It was so accurate

    When fate be, Ye He: really shouldn’t be feudal and superstition

    Note: The original line of the dialogue between the system and Ye He was: "She was too young at the time, and she didn't know all the gifts given by fate. She had already set the price secretly", from the biography "Defense" written by the Austrian writer ZweigQueen of the Head.
