Horror Chapter
"You've got to be kidding me!" Joy exclaimed angrily. "I thought you were the ghost! Why else would you point fingers at me? You're just scared of being exposed, so you're trying to pin it on me!"
"Then why don't you take off your mask and let everyone see your true face?" Greed replied with malicious intent.
"Why don't you take off your mask first?" Joy shot back without backing down.
...
[Things definitely won't be this simple! The hints on the masks are likely a form of misdirection.]
As Greed and Joy continued to accuse each other, chaos erupted in the room. Laziness, unable to tolerate it any longer, slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the two, "Enough already! Is arrogance all you've got? Without solid evidence, stop making baseless accusations; all this does is breed more suspicion among us!"
"Hmph, I stand by my opinion!" Greed declared before falling silent. Joy looked at the others around the round table, frantically explaining, "I swear I'm not the ghost; you all have to believe me!"
"Don't worry, we won't randomly accuse anyone," Jiang Liu reassured Joy.
"Death of Lust, I think hints have already appeared. Right now, we should focus on finding those hints," Laziness continued, tapping on the round table. "Since one of us is a True Ghost, it must be somewhat different from us! Let's all think back—who among us acted a bit differently before Lust's death?"
Upon hearing Laziness's words, everyone began to ponder who had seemed off before.
[Greed probably isn't the ghost; a ghost wouldn't expose themselves so obviously. If we accuse Joy and later find out she isn't the ghost, then all our suspicions will fall on Greed. So the possibility of Greed being the ghost is quite low. Currently, we have no solid clues! How can we confirm the identity of the ghost?]
As Jiang Liu contemplated this, time quickly passed, and it was once again time for accusations.
"The accusation phase begins; please start pointing out who you believe is the ghost!"
"I accuse number seven, Joyful Mask!" At that moment, Greed pointed directly at Joy.
"Greed! Don't make reckless accusations!" Jiang Liu said anxiously; he didn't believe that identifying the ghost would be that straightforward. He immediately urged Greed to retract his accusation.
"I'm sticking with my accusation! If this continues, we'll be picked off one by one by the ghost!" Greed looked at the others around the Black Round Table. "This is a very obvious hint! I don't understand why none of you dare to confirm it! I don't want to die here!"
"Alright! You want to identify me, huh? I identify Greed as the ghost! Think about it, a ghost would definitely disturb our thoughts, and the first person to point fingers is surely the ghost!" Joy looked at Greed with an extremely malicious gaze. "I know you must be the ghost! If not, why would you be so quick to determine that I am the ghost? If you are the ghost, you know everyone else is a civilian, so you can freely accuse anyone else!"
"I identify Greed!" Gluttonous Mask was the first to step forward, followed by others who also pointed out who they believed was the ghost, except for Lazy, who had been watching the situation unfold with a smile, and Jiang Liu, who abstained from voting. Everyone else expressed their stance. Seeing how things had developed, Jiang Liu let out a helpless sigh.
Finally, the results of the accusations were announced.
Greed received votes!
Joy received 4 votes!
"Incorrect accusation! Joyful Mask will face tongue extraction!"
"Impossible!" Greed couldn't believe he had guessed wrong.
"Indeed! Joy is not the ghost!"
"Please! I don't want to die! Save me!... Ugh!"
Hearing that he was to face tongue extraction, Joy screamed in despair. But before he could finish his words, his voice faded away, replaced by painful whimpers coming from Ugly Mask. Blood suddenly gushed from his mouth, splattering onto the black wooden round table. His hands reached out helplessly towards the others, but no one moved. After struggling a few more times, he lay still on the table.
"The method of death has changed! Is this a hint?"
"Execution complete! Black, please close your eyes! The ghost begins to act!"
"Something is different! What is different?"
Jiang Liu suddenly felt that there was something about the cold voice that had changed, but he just couldn't recall what it was! Before he could think too long, familiar darkness enveloped him once again.
"The ghost has killed number 8, Fearsome Beauty! Execution by dismemberment!"
Before Jiang Liu could open his eyes, the cold voice announced the death list. Everyone turned to look at number 8, Fearsome Beauty. She also understood that she was about to die; her expression was somewhat strange. Beneath her calm mask were eyes filled with extreme malice directed at the others.
"I curse all of you to come down here with me; may your deaths be even more tragic than mine!"
"Damn it! You filthy bitch, clean up your mouth!" Rage shouted furiously upon hearing such a vicious curse.
"Hahaha! I'll be waiting for you in hell!"
Fear laughed maniacally, and as her laughter echoed, her lower body began to tilt slowly from the chair, ultimately collapsing onto the pitch-black floor. Her upper body was propped up only by her arms on the round table, with bloody intestines and organs spilling out from the severed waist! Blood uncontrollably oozed from the corner of her mouth.
The gruesome scene made Jiang Liu feel nauseous; a strong wave of vomit surged from his stomach, forcing him to look away. However, the others did not possess Jiang Liu's strong will and all began to vomit.
"Execution complete! White has arrived!"
Watching the tragic state of Fear, the seven survivors fell into silence. Especially Jiang Liu, who felt a surge of anger burning within him as he coldly addressed Greed, "Are you happy now? Two deaths at once!"
Greed, emotionally unstable, shouted back at Jiang Liu, "Yes! I'm happy! You arrogant, self-important fool! You clearly know something! Yet you refuse to speak up! In the end, you put all the blame on me! You deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"
Observing Greed's mad ramblings, Jiang Liu fell silent. He too wished to express his thoughts, but when he deduced that there was a True Ghost among them, he chose silence! Uncertain of the ghost's identity, everything about him could be discovered by it. He was afraid—afraid that the ghost would kill him directly!
In the face of death, everyone is selfish. If Jiang Liu acted too smart, the ghost might very well place him on its death list ahead of time! So until he confirmed the ghost's identity, he dared not reveal everything and could only share a little information with the others.
But now, Greed's insane words had pushed Jiang Liu into a precarious position. If he offered no explanation, while the ghost might not kill him early, the others would certainly suspect him and turn their accusations toward him during the identification phase!
