Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

The ghostly figure pulled out a black cloth and covered its eyes, then it backed away.

One step, two steps, three steps... retreating until they were about ten meters away from the wooden stake.

"Help! Sister-in-law, save me! I'm scared..."

Yan Jiedi was tied to a wooden stake and screamed for help in fear.

Yu Li slumped to the ground, crying as she comforted Jie Di, "Jie Di, don't be afraid. Listen to your sister-in-law, everything will be alright once you fall asleep."

His eyes, however, were fixed on the ghostly figure and the throwing knife.

Yan Jiedi was in despair.

If my sister-in-law can't save me, who can?

"Lin Tian, ​​please let me go. I'll be your wife from now on. My mom said that when you get married, you need three turns and one sound. I don't want anything else."

Lin Tian did not answer.

The ghostly figure raised the throwing knife.

The knife tip was aimed at the wooden stake, and the pause lasted three seconds.

then.

"Whoosh!"

The throwing knife flew from his hand, slicing through the air and heading straight for the wooden stake.

Yu Li's eyes widened instantly, her gaze following the cold light as it flew towards Yan Jiedi.

Is my sister-in-law going to die?

"Thump!"

The throwing knife was deeply embedded in the wooden stake, and the handle trembled slightly.

The location is about ten centimeters above Yan Jiedi's head.

Yan Jiedi trembled, her eyes fixed on the still-trembling throwing knife above her head, her lips quivering as she suppressed a sob.

"Waaaaah... Help! Murder!"

Lin Tian announced, "First round, no hit, Yan Jiedi wins."

Yu Li breathed a long sigh of relief, but then her heart tightened again; there were still nine innings to go.

The ghostly figure did not move.

He then pulled out a second throwing knife.

The same actions: raise the knife, aim, and exert force.

"Whoosh!"

The second knife flew out.

This time, the blade aimed straight for Yan Jiedi's left shoulder.

Yu Li stopped breathing.

She wanted to shout "Get out of the way!" but Yan Jiedi was tied up, so how could she get out of the way?

Just as the throwing knife was about to hit, Yan Jiedi suddenly twisted her body to the left with all her might.

"laugh!"

The throwing knife grazed her right arm, tearing her sleeve and leaving a shallow bloodstain on her skin before embedding itself in the wooden stake with a thud.

"Second game,"

Lin Tian clapped his hands. "Abrasions don't count, Yan Jiedi wins again."

Yu Li collapsed to the ground, her whole body soaked in cold sweat.

It happened twice, and he didn't die either time.

Was it luck?

Or is that "ghost" deliberately toying with them?

She looked at Lin Tian.

He acted as if it were none of his business.

But Yu Li knew that he had orchestrated all of this.

He was enjoying the cat-and-mouse game, enjoying their fear, enjoying the feeling of controlling life and death.

The third throwing knife.

The ghostly figure moved even slower.

He twirled the throwing knife in his hand, the blade gleaming in the light.

Then, it suddenly changed its posture.

No longer facing the wooden stake directly, but sideways with arms pulled back, like a professional knife thrower.

"Whoosh—!"

This slash was faster and more ruthless, aimed straight for Yan Jiedi's chest.

"Ahhh, don't kill me!!"

Yan Jiedi's eyes widened in surprise.

She tried to dodge, but her body was bound tightly, and she could only watch helplessly as the cold light drew closer and closer...

"No--!!!"

Yu Li finally couldn't hold back and screamed.

Just as the throwing knife was about to pierce Yan Jiedi's chest, it suddenly and strangely dropped an inch.

"Thump!"

The knife tip pierced the wooden stake next to Yan Jiedi's thigh, less than a centimeter away from her leg.

Yan Jiedi, having survived the ordeal, lowered her head, looking at the trembling throwing knife and her own unharmed body, and suddenly burst into tears of joy.

I'm still alive, I'm still alive...

"The third game,"

Without turning his head, Lin Tian said, "Missed again, three to zero, Yan Jiedi is in the lead."

The ghostly figure drew his throwing knife again.

One, two, three... a total of five throwing knives were held between its fingers.

It throws five at once.

Yu Li's heart nearly stopped. She looked at Lin Tian and said, "Lin Tian, ​​he cheated! Who uses five throwing knives at once?"

Lin Tian asked nonchalantly, "Who cheated? Did he cheat?"

"Yes, he cheated," Yu Li argued.

"Are there two rules prohibiting the use of five throwing knives?"

Yu Li: "..."

Yan Jiedi: "...I'm going to die."

Lin Tian: "It's fun."

The ghostly figure raised its hand.

Five throwing knives were lined up between its fingers, all the tips aimed at Yan Jiedi on the wooden stake.

This time, it's no longer "playing around".

No more water will be released.

Yu Li knew that the nature of the game had changed.

Those three stabs might have really been a joke, or perhaps they were meant to torment them psychologically.

But now, this "ghost" is getting serious.

It might kill someone.

"Lin Tian!"

Yu Li threw herself at Lin Tian's feet, hugging his legs. "Please, tell it to stop! We give up! We'll do anything, please!"

Lin Tian turned his head and glanced at her.

"Admit defeat?"

"The game has only just begun, why are you giving up already?"

"We...we can't beat it..."

Yu Li cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. "Jie Di will die... she really will die..."

"Will I die?"

Lin Tian tilted his head, as if pondering an interesting question, "What does dying have to do with me? Don't you think that's what makes it exciting?"

Don't be afraid, maybe she can dodge it?

Just like back then, when my sister was bullied by your kids, she thought about running away, but could she really escape?

Yu Li froze.

Yan Jiedi and Bang Geng did indeed often bully Lin Tian's younger sister, Tangtang.

Throwing stones, snatching candy, shoving, and calling them "orphaned wild children"...

As the eldest sister-in-law, she was aware of it, but she never interfered.

Sometimes I even think it's normal for kids to fight and roughhouse.

Now, karma has caught up with them.

"Fourth round," Lin Tian stood up, waved to Ghost Shadow, "Let's begin."

The ghost's finger twitched slightly.

Five throwing knives were thrown at the same time.

They dispersed in the air, shooting towards the same target from different angles.

Yu Li closed her eyes.

She dared not look.

The sound of a flying knife whistling through the air reached my ears, followed by the dull thud of a blade piercing a wooden stake.

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Five tones.

Then, silence.

Yu Li slowly opened her eyes.

She saw that Yan Jiedi was still alive.

All five throwing knives were stuck in the wooden stake.

One was near her left ear, one near her right ear, one under her left armpit, one under her right armpit, and the last one... was stuck into the wooden stake between her legs.

Yan Jiedi looked down at the throwing knife that had almost given up, her whole body trembling violently, and she wet her pants.

"Fourth set, another miss. Four to zero. Sigh, my friend's not playing well today."

The ghostly figure "floated" to the wooden stake, pulled out the throwing knives one by one, and then turned to Yu Li, spinning the throwing knives between its fingertips.

now you.

Yu Li understood that "look".

She collapsed to the ground, watching the approaching ghostly figure, as if she could see her own fate.

Suddenly I laughed.

The laughter started as suppressed laughter, then grew louder and louder, finally turning into a maniacal roar: "Hahaha...playing...playing well...playing really well..."

Yu Li laughed and cried at the same time, murmuring to herself between sobs, "Lin Tian...you won, you won completely..."

The game continues.

The outcome of this game was predetermined from the very beginning.

Cats will never let mice go unpunished.

Until you get tired of it.
