Chapter 379: 177: Zhou Baiyu not playing by the rules_2
"This essentially explains that these strange tales, when participating in children's games, will have limitations in their abilities."
"I can't guarantee that the limitations are 100%, but at least we can be sure that it has a significant impact."
"Next, we'll see what the rules of house are."
Zhou Baiyu's analysis was correct.
To the passengers who are aware of the general rules of these strange tales, normal passengers are mostly frazzled by various rules.
Judgment abilities are constantly affected in such dangerous environments.
Of course, it's impossible to think through the rules carefully at such a time, let alone use them to counter the rules."
Indeed, many rules can be manipulated.
However, passengers are scarce on such trains, and those who can think of this are even scarcer.
After everyone was in position, Conductor No. 2's voice rang out again, starting to enlighten Zhou Baiyu and Huang Miu on the rules.
[House rules, become a loving family, understanding is key.
People in this world are always lacking in understanding of others, leading to a world full of misunderstandings.
Little Baozi has experienced this profoundly. Being born in a special family, he always felt his relatives did not play their roles well.
This time's playing house will be different.
Next you will need to play as one of Little Baozi's relatives. It's worth mentioning that Little Baozi has a lot, a lot of relatives.
You must, in each round, depict an action or reaction that your character would have towards Little Baozi or when they see Little Baozi.
But you must not let your description reveal to others which character you are playing as.
At the same time, you need to guess who the others are based on their descriptions.
If you successfully depict and gain Little Baozi's approval without others guessing your character — you will live to see the next round.
When the game, apart from Little Baozi, is left with only two people, both may win together.
If you fail in your depiction or if your identity is exposed, you will be eliminated.
Special rule addition: if a rule passenger is eliminated, a new rule passenger will appear.]
Elimination. Such chilling words.
The rule passengers were obviously a bit frightened. They certainly did not want to be replaced, let alone die on this train.
At this point, the passengers' gazes at Zhou Baiyu were filled with resentment.
Zhou Baiyu narrowed his eyes.
"This isn't essentially about playing house, it's more like a variant of... 'Who's the Undercover," and that's pretty interesting."
"If I'm pretending to be Little Baozi's father, I can't let others realize I'm his dad. But the things I describe have to be fitting for a father in Little Baozi's eyes, actions his father would take."
"Little Baozi is the judge. I have the chance to try and err, which won't be hard for me..."
"The tricky part is keeping Huang Miu safe. But Huang Miu is very smart... along the way, I've found his mind to be quite sharp; I'll throw out some hints and he should understand what to do."
"As for the others, although they're all corrupt seeds, they were all once human, and should not be underestimated."
Little Baozi clapped his hands and announced:
"The rules are clear now, big brother, let's start!"
"Alright."
[Identity distribution.]
[Identity verification.]
This time, it wasn't the voice of Conductor No. 2 in his mind, but that of Little Baozi.
Huang Miu had been thinking, how many people could there be for playing house? Just a few identities, right?
Dad, mom, child...
But soon, when his identity was being verified and the words "the butler's child" surfaced in his mind...
He realized the problem was not simple.
"Damn it, it's not weird to have a butler, but why is the butler's child also here?"
"And... if I remember correctly, the rules mentioned these are all Little Baozi's family members."
"By rights, a butler is not a family member; there's no reason for relatives to take the role of a butler... yet the butler's child, is a family member of Little Baozi..."
"If I'm not wrong, does this mean... the butler had an affair with the lady of the house... and then they had a child, a half-sibling to Little Baozi?"
"Holy shit, that's explosive! What a chaotic family! I really want to join this big family."
Huang Miu was quite active in his thoughts.
But indeed, as Zhou Baiyu said, he was quite clever.
Although Huang Miu didn't know much, just from the subject information and the identity he drew, he vaguely guessed...
Little Baozi's family must be full of messy affairs.
It was the kind of complex family relationship that only existed in novels.
"Although it's dangerous... I'm kind of looking forward to this game, hehehe."
Huang Miu chuckled.
On the other hand, Zhou Baiyu showed a look reminiscent of an old man peering intently at a smartphone:
"To start off like this... I really didn't expect, the stepmother's boyfriend...?"
The term stepmother made Zhou Baiyu realize that Little Baozi's upbringing may have been complex.
Why did he like playing games so much?
Could it be related to the absence of company in his childhood?
Seeing the word stepmother, Zhou Baiyu's thoughts unfolded in that direction.
But what was outrageous was that stepmother wasn't his assigned role; it was the stepmother's boyfriend, which made his brain crash for a split second.
He needed to process this overwhelming amount of information.
The stepmother's boyfriend... shouldn't be Little Baozi's biological father.
"There is no need to change the term just to complicate things, so if it was Little Baozi's dad, the drawn identity would be dad, not stepmother's awkward boyfriend."
