INTERNAL PLAYERS 04

Ren Li’s face turned black. The chill revealed in Pei Jingling’s eyes was really unfriendly.

Pei Jingling smiled with his lips bent as if he didn’t see him: “I am a purifier, I think brother No. 6 is also a purifier. I don’t feel like doing it with others, so I want to do the tasks with him. That’s all, over.”

Everyone’s eyes went back and forth between them. Ren Li’s face was getting more and more gloomy, turning itself into a cold and violent appearance.

Although he has only been in contact with this person for a short amount of time, hearing such unruly and thoughtless thoughts made him think they weren’t true.

He did it on purpose. But why did he do this?

Is it to appear that he is naïve and non-threatening? Or is it to pull him into the water 1 ?

Ren Li stared at Pei Jingling for a while, analyzing his behavior in a deeper level. His face was slightly sullen as the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Pei Jingling on the opposite side saw Ren Li’s aggressive aura just now weakened a lot. He flew a wink to him quite triumphantly.

Then Pei Jingling succeeded in seeing Ren Li’s face sinking again. His eyes were full of warning.

Pei Jingling’s eyes brightened like he had just made a successful trick.

“Ahem… it’s my turn to speak.” Player No. 4, the uncle in the suit looked at the two people’s “flirting” and coughed a few times to break the embarrassment. “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhong Yunyang and I am also a purifier.”

“The first thing I want to talk about is the remarks made by player No. 3. I personally hope that I will not speak like this anymore. If words with too strong subjective consciousness such as ‘I feel’ and ‘I don’t feel’ appear in the judgment of the identity of others, it is easy to form a pattern and cause everyone to mislead. If you were to draw a conclusion, you may have another good reason to say so.”

Pei Jingling’s expression was somewhat innocent. He shrugged, not commenting on Zhong Yunyang’s words.

“However, I can’t say that your behavior like this is thoughtless.” Zhong Yunyang looked mature and his tone was full of rationality. “From the words of the old man before, we can know that if an undercover destroys the purification, one piece of talisman paper will be reduced accordingly, and we can deduce how many undercover agents are involved in the purification mission this evening. “

“From this we can slightly infer that as an undercover agent, we definitely won’t take the initiative to pull our teammates to do tasks at the same time. Because if the undercover is doing tasks with his teammates, should he choose to destroy or purify in order to hide his identity?”

“In the first case is ‘choose to destroy’. In this case, if the teammates also chooses to destroy, the number of talisman papers will be reduced by two. If it’s a two-person mission tonight, these two undercover agents will be directly exposed. If it is a multiplayer mission later, even if they can’t be caught right away, the scope of finding two undercover agents will be reduced a lot. Undoubtedly, it is very detrimental to these undercover agents. “

“Then the second case is to ‘choose purification’. In order to hide his identity, an undercover agent will choose to purify and have his other teammate to destroy it, so as to avoid the lack of two talisman papers. But choosing to purify at the same time will not be worthwhile to lose the game directly. So I think the chance of an undercover agent actively choosing his teammate to do the task is very small.”

Zhong Yunyang looked at Pei Jingling and smiled: “I don’t know if No. 3 has unintentionally inserted willows into shade 2 or thought of this, but it was because he offered to do the task with No. 6. The possibility of him and No. 6 being undercover has decreased——the chances of at least two being undercover are not high. Of course, No. 1 and No. 2 can also be deduced in the same way.”

“As for who will do the task tonight, just follow the proposal of No. 2. No. 1 and No. 2 will do it in order.”

“My speech is over.”

Zhong Yunyang is the person who has spoken the most so far, he was also logical and clear enough. In addition, he is dressed in formal clothes and is older than everyone else, making him look mature and reliable. Qin Yiyi’s eyes were full of worship. She couldn’t help but sigh, “He is so amazing.”

Even the prickly-headed man listened carefully to his speech. After following his thoughts, he also felt it was reasonable and nodded in agreement.

Ren Li’s complexion improved a little because he thought of this aspect just now.

That guy Pei Jingling, he should have reduced the suspicion that he is an undercover agent, right? And he happened to be the only person he had come into contact with in this game, so he pulled himself up.

Although he was still unpleasant about it, at least it was right.

Then Qin Yiyi as the 5th began to speak. She looked around at everyone, her eyes were confused, and then she said timidly: “This is the first time I’ve played this kind of game. I haven’t even played these at home. And actually…”

She bit her lip, a little embarrassed: “I didn’t understand what the person on TV said just now. I can’t tell who the undercover agent is… I only know that the purifier does the task.”

“I am also a purifier. If I have to do the task, you can take me with you at any time. But since Sister Nan Yuan said that she wanted to complete the purification with No.1, I-I’ll listen to her, so let her and No.1 do it.”

Qin Yiyi frowned and remained silent for a few seconds. She found that she had nothing else to say: “Well, that’s it, my speech is over.”

Qin Yiyi has no opinion at all. There is no logical structure in her speech so it’s not surprising that it fell into Ren Li’s eyes.

She and player No. 2 are now “tied” to each other, trusting each other far higher than others.

Now three players have proposed No. 1 and No. 2 to do the task. After another analysis by player No. 4, Zhong Yunyang, it is very likely that No. 1 will agree to do the first round of the task with No. 2.

Everyone speaking on the floor currently says that he is a purifier, so there is no problem for the time being.

He doesn’t believe that the purifiers can complete the task in only three nights. Only the things about the personal achievement tasks can make him less anxious.

Ren Li open his mouth and said: “I am also a purifier and I agree with player No. 4. I also agree that No. 1 and No. 2 should do the task tonight. “

Pei Jingling looked at him with his chin on his hand. He blinked, his lips pouted as if he looked aggrieved.

Ren Li’s gaze quickly passed Pei Jingling’s body. He said blankly: “My speech is over.”

Ren Li’s speech was simple and clear. After he finished speaking, player No. 1, who is also the captain tonight, began to make a concluding remark.

“There is nothing to say, I am also a purifier. Now that 4 people have suggested that me and my little sister No. 2 to do the task, then I won’t be too long-winded. For tonight’s task, I nominate myself to do the task with No. 2.”

“Then vote now. If you agree to this arrangement, please raise your hands.”

Six people —— including Pei Jingling —— all raised their hands.

Tonight, the proposal for player No. 1 and player No. 2 to do the purification task was unanimously approved.

The prickly-headed man nodded: “Okay, the proposal is approved.”

As soon as the voice fell, golden light appeared around the prickly-headed man and Nan Yuan. After a few seconds, a suspended talisman appeared in a place centered on the six people.

There were two talisman papers ——This means that the purification tonight has not been destroyed, and the mission is successful.

Under everyone’s sight, those two pieces of talisman paper were swallowed by the dark vortex of black light until they gradually annihilated and disappeared into the air.

Then everything returned peaceful.

“That… that’s it?” Qin Yiyi asked Nan Yuan in a low voice, “It’s over?”

It was clear that Nan Yuan relaxed a lot. She nodded: “Well, it should be.”

Qin Yiyi’s eyes were round open. She scanned Nan Yuan from head to toe, then asked her like a curious baby: “Do you feel any discomforts? Does your body feel like it’s full of energy like the ones described in the novel? Do you feel any special existence?”

“There is no discomfort, and I don’t feel anything special.” Nan Yuan was very patient with the little sister Qin Yiyi, answering her curiosity one by one.

The previously dull atmosphere was slightly mobilized by the two girls and became more lively.

Ren Li narrowed his eyes while listening to their conversation, trying to see the panel again.

Then the interface appeared in his mind. As expected, the item above had already appeared.

The first night of purification was successful. This should be a result that everyone can guess. Even if there are undercover agents in the first and second rounds, the possibility of sabotaging the first game is very small. After all, it has a one-half chance, which is much more dangerous than hiding among three or four people.

“We won the first game so everyone shouldn’t be so nervous .” Zhong Yunyang leaned on the back of the sofa. Loosening his tie, he let out a long sigh of relief and smiled: “Just now I formally introduced myself, how about you also introduce yourself?  I couldn’t just call you No. 1, No. 2 or something for the next few days, right? “

Nan Yuan, having a very generous personality, didn’t shy away: “Hello everyone, my name is Nan Yuan.”

Qin Yiyi had a good impression of Zhong Yunyang and she smiled sweetly at him: “My name is Qin Yiyi, just call me Yiyi.”

The prickly-headed man was really not interested in this kind of activity of sitting in rows and reporting names. He only said: “Just call me Xie Yi.”

His tone was perfunctory. His name sounded like it was made up of one’s own surname plus a number 3 .

“Ren Li.” Ren Li didn’t want to cover up; there was no need to so he said his name indifferently.

The light in Pei Jingling’s eyes flickered for a few minutes, the corners of his mouth tilted up. He said, “My name is Pei Jingling.”

Xie Yi was extremely uncomfortable seeing this “peaceful” scene. With a ‘tsk’, his tone became a little impatient: “Tonight’s task has been completed and self-introduction is already finished. Can we go away now? “

After speaking, he stood up. He left the living room and walked upstairs.

Zhong Yunyang looked at Xie Yi’s back and sighed helplessly: “This kid has such a bad temper. Sooner or later he might suffer.”

Nan Yuan nodded in agreement: “It’s true that he always look down on others, who would want to cooperate with him in the future?”

“But you proposed to do the task with him just now.” Qin Yiyi smiled, “And tonight’s mission has passed. If he is a purifier, then he is our teammate.”

Nan Yuan curled her lips: “It’s hard to tell if he’s a purifier, who knows if he’s just pretending. If I were an undercover agent, I wouldn’t ruined it in the first game, isn’t that too obvious?”

“That’s right.” Qin Yiyi tilted her head for a moment, then looked at Nan Yuan and said seriously, “Hey, no matter what, I believe Nan Yuan must be a good person anyways! “

Nan Yuan grinned. She squeezed Qin Yiyi’s adorable face.

Ren Li was not interested in these “sisters”. He thought of the contradictions in the Gu’s villa mentioned in the common achievements. Standing up, he made a simple sign to leave and left the living room.

He intends to go back to the room to look first.
