I show off in the gradient game

Same as the traditional game of dropping the handkerchief.

At the start of the game, the person who throws the handkerchief runs counterclockwise outside the circle and can throw the handkerchief behind any player at any time, and then continues to run in circles. When he reaches the game position, he taps the player's back with the handkerchief. The player loses, and the two players exchange roles and the game continues.

If the person who throws the handkerchief is caught by the players, it is considered that the game has failed and he will be punished.

After the two Yili understood the rules of the game, they began to silently observe their 'kind' around them. They were exactly the same, even their eyes showed no difference. They looked to the side indifferently and numbly, with a strange arc in the corners of their stiff mouths.

Sitting in it, you will feel cold all over, and feel inexplicably terrified and frightened.

However, there are quite a few participants sitting here, and the system will definitely not let her escape from the pursuit of her other self so easily, so the punishment is definitely not that simple.

"Then let's start playing games together? Let me go first~"

It clapped its hands, and they began to clap uncontrollably as well.

A strange song sounded.

They clapped and sang along uncontrollably.

"Throw, throw, throw the handkerchief~"

"My sister and I throw the handkerchief~"

"Throw, throw, throw the handkerchief~"

"Sister, come and throw the handkerchief~"

"One corn, one melon"

"Amei can't eat anymore~"

"Auntie kept praising Amei~"

The surroundings began to change before their eyes.

Under the scarlet sky, a dry well appeared nearby, and a skinny woman, carrying a heavy bucket, was throwing water into it.

At this time, a girl in a ragged linen skirt came running over and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Upon hearing this, the woman didn't care about the bucket in her hand and slapped her.

The girl's body had long been reduced to a skeleton by famine, and her frail body flew away lightly because of the woman's slap.

"Hungry, hungry, hungry! Are you a pig? You eat so much! You are not even a son. You are a waste of food if you are alive."

Under the woman's vicious curse, the girl's breathing gradually became weaker.

The woman then turned her attention to the barrel, tied the rope and threw it down with a snap.

After a while, the rope was pulled. Yi Li saw the woman's excitement and frantically collected the wooden barrel. The barrel slowly rose. The woman pulled it with extra effort. Finally, she saw what was inside the barrel.

It was a plate of fat, juicy roast chicken. Even though Yili was so far away, he could still faintly smell the tempting aroma of the meat.

The woman held the barrel like a treasure, and kicked the girl as she passed by: "Why don't you die outside, you loser?"

After speaking, he left.

After a long time, the little girl struggled to get up. She approached the dry well as if possessed: "Mom, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry."

She got closer and closer until, with a plop, she fell in, as if being swallowed by the well.

The moment the scene ended, black-haired Yili felt her heart skip a beat. She subconsciously looked behind her and saw a bright red handkerchief placed behind her. The girl who threw the handkerchief was looking at her and gave her a weird smile.

Black-haired Yili: “…”

Without hesitation, she grabbed the handkerchief and ran towards the girl.

The moment she touched the handkerchief, her stomach began to feel an empty feeling of hunger, making it impossible for her to concentrate. She only wanted to eat and use food to soothe her irritable stomach.

She tried to suppress the uncontrollable hunger in her heart and ran towards the girl.

The girl turned and ran towards Yi Li's original position.

Just as she was about to sit down, a hand grabbed the girl from behind: "You failed, I caught you."

As soon as the black-haired Yi Li finished her words, she exploded in front of her. The hunger in her stomach became even worse. Looking at the remains of her body that was blown to pieces, she couldn't help but think of the plate of shiny and fragrant roast chicken.

A terrible thought came to her mind - would its meat be as delicious as that roast chicken?
She suppressed the hunger in her taste buds and pulled back her sanity that was about to go out of control. A new mission information popped up in front of her.

"Please choose your replacement."

Yili turned into a "ghost" and started throwing handkerchiefs.

Her eyes fell on these people.

Who is the other self?
The silver-haired Yi Li sat in the middle and couldn't see what was happening behind him.

She integrated herself into these NPCs and performed in a way that no one could detect any flaws.

The black-haired Yi Li's eyes fell on them. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She threw the handkerchief directly in front of the person who had his back to her.

Just as she was about to run back to her seat, the scene changed again.

"Mom, where is my sister?"

The girl in flowery clothes was wrapped in rags and had her hair tied up in a bun. She had clear eyes and a fair and tender body, which formed a sharp contrast with the desolate and poor environment around her.

The woman excitedly handed her the roasted chicken: "Xiaoxue, eat it quickly, it's still hot."

Xiaoxue was stunned: "Mom, where is my sister?"

The woman swallowed her saliva, trying to suppress the hunger in her stomach. "She, who knows where this girl has gone? Don't worry about her. Eat quickly. Don't starve yourself."

Xiaoxue took a look at the roast chicken and said, "Mom, I'm not hungry. You eat first."

An unnatural look flashed across the woman's eyes: "Mom is not hungry, you eat."

"My sister keeps complaining about being hungry, so I'll save a chicken drumstick for her."

As soon as Xiaoxue finished speaking, she heard the woman fiercely say, "No!"

Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman: "Why?"

The woman tried hard to maintain her gentle persona: "Xiaoxue has already eaten, you should eat now."

Xiaoxue shook her head when she heard that: "I don't want to eat roast chicken now. Roast chicken is too oily. I want to drink shredded chicken porridge."

"But we don't have any..."

Before the woman could finish her words, she was interrupted by a harsh voice.

"My granddaughter wants to drink chicken porridge. Are you blind or deaf? If my precious granddaughter becomes thin due to hunger, I will beat you to death, you money-loser!"

The hungry and emaciated old lady came out from the inner room leaning on a cane, glaring at the woman fiercely as she spoke.

"Mom, we really don't have any porridge at home."

The woman said cautiously, fear in her eyes.

Snapped!
The crutch hit the woman's back hard, making a dull sound.

The woman's already ugly face became even paler.

"Just go when I tell you to! You are such a loser that you can't even do this! I will beat you to death!"

The old lady was about to continue beating, and Xiaoxue was so scared that she quickly protected the woman, and the crutch finally stopped.

"Xiaoxue, what are you doing?"

The old lady asked dissatisfiedly.

Xiaoxue's voice was a little frightened: "Grandma, please don't hit mother. I want to eat roasted chicken, and I don't want to drink chicken porridge anymore."

As he said this, he tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken the woman was holding and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

The old lady's expression became better. "That's good of you. Eat more weight. You are growing up now. It will be bad if you starve and become skinny."

She watched the little girl eat the whole chicken while suppressing her nausea.
