After being poisoned by her lover

Chapter 157

When she came to the Church of Truth for the first time, she was shocked by the brilliance of the light and shadow here, as if all the light in the world was crushed and thrown in, "the bright colors are like a passionate cry"; especially at dusk, The golden sun hangs high in the center of the sky, and they gather to form a dreamy fairy tale with floating light and gold.

There are some unknown stories painted on the walls of the church, as well as pictures and reliefs that inspire the world, as well as Pomona made of plaster; their artistic expressions are often eclectic. If they are placed outside, this place is definitely An artist's paradise.

Ye Zhaoling emptied himself as much as possible, imagining the beauty and dreams of the church, so as to resist the nonsense attack of the river crab.

A long sigh came from his ear, and Ye Zhaoling pulled his head off the table.

"Milan Kundera said that if we cannot accept the importance of the world we think is important, if our laughter cannot resonate in this world, then we have only one choice: to take the world as a whole, when The object of our play; make it a fun toy."

Chu Si's eyes flicked from the book, and as he spoke, he picked up the river crab that kept dancing on Ye Zhaoling's shoulder, put it on the table, and patted it on the head by the way.

The crab immediately lay down obediently.

Old Mushroom took the book from Father Chus, patted the cover, and asked everyone to focus on it.

"The gameplay of our little game is quite simple. As long as you 'survive' to the end, you can really get rid of suspicion."

"First, let me explain the rules of the game to you."

"As we all know, fruit trees have six life cycles, which are germination-growth-fruit-aging-renewal-death."

"In this game, the life course of the fruit tree will also become your life course."

"The game lasts for seven days. This does not refer to a specific time, but just a way of progressing the life course. We don't need to pay too much attention to time. It is a dispensable thing, and it is to help you better. Something that exists to understand the game. What you really need to care about is the silver coins in your hands and your life points."

"Below, there are a few rules that you need to memorize by heart."

"Rule [-]: Each person will answer one question per day. It may be about numbers."

"Additional information to rule [-]: The villagers will randomly ask you questions. If the villagers ask you to answer numbers, you can only choose the correct number. Remember not to cheat."

"Rule [-]: Among the six days, the first three days are test matches for everyone. For every question answered correctly, one silver coin will be rewarded, and one silver coin will be deducted for wrong answers."

"Rule [-]: The next three days will be the official game for everyone. For each correct answer to a question, you can get two silver coins as a reward. For wrong answers, all silver coins will be deducted and a little life point will be consumed."

"Rule [-]: On the last seventh day, there are special hidden rules; when the game reaches the seventh day, trigger keywords, and these hidden rules will be announced."

"Friendly reminder: Please keep yourself in good condition as much as possible. Because the last day is the harvest season."

"Remember it? My children?"

Ye Zhaoling always felt that something was wrong.

In fact, she was not the only one who thought so.

Liu Meili stood up, and there was a lot of friction between the chair legs and the ground. Both sides refused to give in to each other. This harsh noise immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She straightened her back and asked, "What does this game have to do with murderers?"

How do you see that the two are not related?

"My child, everything in this world can be traced." The old mushroom said meaningfully, "Have you heard of the silence effect? ​​My child?"

Liu Meili looked at the old mushroom suspiciously. In her hometown, mushrooms generally did not grow to a height of more than half a meter alive. As the saying goes, no mushroom can walk out alive.There are no inedible mushrooms, it's just that the mushrooms are undercooked.

Accidentally crossed the stage and turned into a golden sun protection area on the tip of the tongue. Liu Meili nodded a little ashamedly: "...I know a little bit."

"The silence effect, in simple terms, is the abuse of coercive means, which will only lead to the silence of everyone. And the nobles specially called you to the party, not to watch you sit at the dining table and perform a puppet show."

"We need to guide you correctly and carefully recall your real memories in your recent daily life. The truth is buried in these fragmented memories, but you have not yet successfully discovered its trace."

"Furthermore, I would like to state that we are extremely reasonable and generous. Appropriate, proportionate, and matter-of-fact punishments can prompt imitative children who are enveloped in an abnormal atmosphere to stop their horses in time and turn around."

"Uh..." Liu Meili was dazed by what the old mushroom said, and was speechless for a moment.

"But, but...we want to know who the murderer is more!" She said bravely, "the murderer is undoubtedly among us, who knows if he...will take advantage of the game again to harm people?"

As Liu Meili talked, feeling that her words made sense, she quietly glanced at Lisuke Shirakawa beside her.

Wang Dacheng, who was sitting on the other side of Liu Meili, was very panicked at the moment, feeling that all eyes were on them, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Taking advantage of Liu Meili's silence, the honest Wang Dacheng patted Liu Meili's shoulder and advised her to sit down and not be a fool.

Liu Meili lowered her head, and her eyes fell on the face of Liansuke Shirakawa beside her. The latter had a completely detached expression, as if she didn't realize how outstanding her brave and fearless posture was at the moment.

The old mushroom laughed, and said in an old voice: "Don't you think we should bring hundreds of torture instruments and use them on you one by one? According to what you mean, this is indeed very convenient... ...But! My boy, but—”

"Being tortured into tricks is not upholding true justice, my child. What's the point of that for us?"

Liu Meili sat down, she had nothing to say.

Ye Zhaoling listened silently, but he couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this. People are already dead, and they don't know what they have become now. Besides, what is the meaning of justice?

Is late justice still justice?

Could it be possible to uphold justice with just a little witty game?
