Chapter 204: People
Since the owner of Zuixianlou had already extended a warm invitation, Xia Chongwen and the others also went down the stairs.
"Since the host is so kind, we brothers will naturally follow his wishes." Xia Chongwen bowed to Xu Yunxuan.
"Everyone, please follow me." Xu Yunxuan nodded to Xia Xiaoxian, then turned around and led everyone into the backyard of Zuixianlou.
Zuixian Tower, backyard.
It’s really a different world.
Jacaranda, goldenrod, five-color hydrangea...
The garden was filled with all kinds of rare plants and flowers that no one had ever seen before, and the group was dazzled.
Before they had recovered from the shock of the exotic flowers and sights in the garden, they had already arrived at Xu Yunxuan's exclusive private room in the backyard of Zuixianlou.
The three brothers Xia Linan, Xia Yongan and Xia Pingan.
The two sisters Xia Xiaoxian and Xia Xiaoyan.
The two brothers Xia Chongwen and Xia Chongde.
Sisters Zhang Mingyu and Zhang Mingbaoliang.
Plus a young master, Li Jiujiang.
There were exactly ten people, just enough to fill up the table.
Xu Yunxuan did not accompany them. She wanted the children to have a comfortable meal at Zuixianlou.
After the group was seated, Xia Xiaoxian seemed to have become half the host. She kept introducing the various signature dishes of Zuixianlou to the Zhang sisters.
After all, there were still some childish natures, and the ten people gradually became familiar with each other while eating delicious food.
While people were enjoying desserts and fruits after dinner at Zuixianlou, Xu Yunxuan walked in.
With a smile on her face, she said to the ten people, "My fellow gentlemen and ladies, the next one is Zuixianlou's most popular entertainment project, the Storybook Killing! Do you want to play it?"
Story killing?
Everyone here has read the story.
But what the hell is the story-based killing?
Even the knowledgeable Xia Xiaoxian opened her eyes wide and looked full of questions when she heard the entertainment mentioned by Xu Yunxuan.
Obviously, she had never played it either.
To be precise, I've probably never heard of it.
There are actually entertainment programs that I have never heard of.
Xia Xiaoxian was immediately interested.
"What kind of game is it? Can Aunt Yun briefly explain it to everyone?"
The excitement on her face was so tangible that it was almost visible to the naked eye. The other nine people also looked at Xu Yunxuan with curious eyes.
"It's very simple. Zuixianlou will provide you with various storybooks. After the participants select the storybook, they will randomly draw a role."
"Everyone who draws a character will start reading the corresponding script, and then collect clues to find the real murderer hidden in the game."
"This game not only tests everyone's knowledge reserves, but also tests everyone's on-the-spot gaming ability."
Xu Yunxuan used the most concise words to explain this "Storybook Killing" game. Seeing that everyone was still confused, she paused and said, "Actually, if I say too much, maybe you won't understand. You will understand everything after playing it once."
"Of course, because of your age, there aren't many options for you to choose from..."
"How about this, how about I recommend a storybook to you guys?"
Just by listening to Xu Yunxuan's description, everyone was already full of anticipation for this game. Now Xu Yunxuan was even more willing to recommend Zuixianlou's most interesting storybook to them, which was naturally what they wanted.
All ten people expressed their desire to participate. As for which storybook to play, everyone agreed that the host, Xu Yunxuan, would arrange it directly.
Xu Yunxuan clapped her hands, and two waiters immediately came into the room, carrying ten bowls of honey water and placing them in front of the ten people.
"Everyone can drink this bowl of sugar water first, and then you can play the game more thoroughly." Xu Yunxuan said with a smile.
Xia Xiaoxian and her siblings naturally trusted Xu Yunxuan very much, and they drank the dessert happily without hesitation.
The others hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and finished their desserts.
"Everyone will have a dedicated waiter who will read the part of the script that belongs to your character to you separately."
"To form memories in your brains."
"When the memory is formed, you will have a good sleep, and when you wake up it will be a new journey."
"Zuixianlou wishes you all a pleasant journey..."
Xu Yunxuan's voice became lower and lower.
Until I can no longer hear...
Xia Xiaoxian felt that she was falling into a deep sleep...
......
When she opened her eyes again, Xia Xiaoxian found that it was a dark room.
A flickering candle was placed on a large round table in the center of the room. There was also a large hourglass on the table, slowly showing the passage of time.
Sitting around the big round table were the ten young men who had entered Zuixianlou together.
Xia Xiaoxian looked around at the other nine people. The Zhang sisters and Xia Xiaoyan were lying on the table, while others such as Xia Linan were sitting back on soft chairs.
The other nine were still fast asleep.
No one knew when the clothes the nine people were wearing were changed.
In addition to the ten of them, there was a tall man in the room wearing an ugly mask and a flying fish suit.
The man's eyes pierced through the ugly mask, and he stared at the ten people sitting at the round table with interest.
When the hourglass on the table ran out of the last grain of sand, Xia Xiaoxian closed her eyes and two words appeared in front of her.
"Zi hour".
When Xia Xiaoxian slowly opened her eyes, the other people at the round table also woke up one after another.
When everyone opened their eyes, they looked around in confusion at first, and then looked at the man in the flying fish suit standing next to them with doubt.
The strange thing is that, except for Xia Xiaoxian, the other nine seemed to have forgotten why they were there, and their faces even showed that they did not know each other.
Xia Xiaoxian was secretly surprised. Could it be that they were all bewitched by the drugs Aunt Yun used?
"Ladies and gentlemen," the man in the flying fish suit nodded slightly when he saw that everyone was awake, "I am honored to meet you here. Did you sleep well this time?"
In the dim candlelight, the ugly mask on the man's face made people feel a little uncomfortable, and almost everyone suspected at that moment that they had been sent to the imperial prison.
The man in front of him was dressed as the Black Dragon Guard who had been dismissed.
The man's eyes were cold and stern, and his gestures made people wonder if he had just walked out of hell.
Only Xia Xiaoxian always remembered that this was just a game.
Everything before your eyes is an illusion.
Li Jiujiang, who woke up first, was stunned for a few seconds, as if he found something wrong. He asked the man with some hesitation: "Who... who are you?"
The man did not answer directly, but whispered to Li Jiujiang: "Then who are you?"
