Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Murder Game
All thirteen classmates at the table had their eyes on Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang smiled, "Dare to join?"
She said this with a technique, merely to pique everyone’s curiosity and even excitement, so that they would all listen to her.
They had been discussing for half a day but couldn’t reach a conclusion. Sheng Tang felt that if they continued, everyone’s enthusiasm would fade.
But the game she wanted to play wasn’t something thrilling or exciting.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" a boy said, "Are we playing truth or dare?"
"I also like something mysterious. Sheng Tang, which game are you suggesting?"
Sheng Tang’s eyes were deep and serene, as though holding ghostly lights, and her voice was cold, "The Killing Game."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
What kind of game is this?
Are we supposed to kill classmates?
This sounded really shocking, and everyone looked at Sheng Tang.
A classmate named Zhu Yanhui, who was most skilled with board games, had bought almost all the card games on the market and kept a keen eye on new ones.
He had never heard of "The Killing Game."
But anything with the word "killing" should be very brutal and intense, right?
The boys present were secretly eager to try, while most of the girls looked discontent.
Girls generally didn’t like violent games much, and most of their table were girls.
This was also why they hadn’t decided on what to play at the beginning, because their tastes didn’t match.
"How do you play The Killing Game?" Zhu Yanhui looked excited, "How do you kill?"
He was almost impatient.
Sheng Tang said, "It’s very simple."
In fact, the game she wanted to introduce was the hugely popular multiplayer game Werewolf from her world.
She called it The Killing Game not to be deliberately creepy, but because when she was in college, it was called The Killing Game.
The rules of The Killing Game were similar to those of Werewolf, but it only had roles like police, killer, civilian, and judge, without as many branches as Werewolf.
At that time, her classmates went crazy playing this game.
On New Year’s Day in their sophomore year, they had planned to go to a karaoke bar, but ended up playing The Killing Game all night.
This game, which involves teamwork, reasoning, and disguise, was so addictive that many people got hooked on it after playing it once. It was a great way to pass the time.
When Sheng Tang graduated, The Killing Game was still very popular for a while.
But one day, it suddenly rained heavily, and everyone was stuck on set. They were filming in the mountains, and the signal was particularly poor, so they couldn’t use their phones.
A colleague from the crew suddenly said, "So boring. Let’s play Werewolf."
That was the first time Sheng Tang had heard of Werewolf.
She joined in the game.
After one round, she found it to be very similar to The Killing Game they played in college, just with a few added roles that made the game more interesting.
In the days that followed, Sheng Tang was quite busy and didn’t get to play much, but she occasionally saw her assistant playing Werewolf online while waiting.
She was surprised, "You can play online? Just like an online game?"
"Yeah, Sis, do you want to play?" the little assistant asked.
Sheng Tang didn’t have the time.
One round took almost half an hour. While the assistant rested, she had to busy herself with makeup.
"Are you playing with your friends or strangers?" she asked the little assistant.
The assistant laughed, "Strangers, randomly found online. But you can also set up a room and play with friends."
"If my college classmates knew they could play like this, they’d probably gather together every day." Sheng Tang laughed.
But by then, nearly ten years had passed since they graduated.
Her classmates each had their own families and careers, struggling with mid-life crises. They probably wouldn’t indulge in those college games anymore.
But Sheng Tang always remembered the happy times the game brought her back then.
