Chapter 150 You Draw, I Guess
Wu Xian rubbed his hair.
He walked onto the stage with a bitter face.
Du E followed him with her head down, her steps small and dense, like a bullied wife.
Watched the first three shows.
They both knew that this program was not so easy to complete.
Like Wei Dian and Guan Daorong, it is lucky if the worship props or blessing abilities can come in handy. It would be terrible if they encounter a situation where the worship props cannot be used at all.
After all, there are too many evil spirits in this banquet hall.
The only way for them to survive is to complete the show.
It is absolutely impossible to quit by force, as that will implicate other teammates.
Butler Hu saw the lots in their hands.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"You draw and I guess. Among all the programs today, this one is the most entertaining. Everyone will be blessed next."
As soon as he said this, the evil spirits cheered.
No one died in the previous three shows, so I guess this show will finally be a river of blood, right?
Butler Hu clapped his hands.
There were four more things under the feet of each of the two people, namely a mask with only two holes for the eyes, a rag, a 40-centimeter square whiteboard, and a whiteboard pen. There was also a digital clock between the two people for timing.
These things are different from the style of the banquet hall.
It may be that after Butler Hu went to the human world and caused a lot of trouble, his mentality became more modern.
Butler Hu smiled and explained how the show would work.
“This show is simple.”
"Both of you put on masks, one of you draws an idiom, and the other one guesses it. You take turns, and it's over when you have guessed ten idioms in total."
"Only drawings can be placed on the drawing board. No words are allowed, even foreign languages that we don't understand. Idioms used cannot be repeated or made up."
"Before you start painting, you have to tell the servants next to you what idiom you want to paint. The person who guesses it will say the corresponding idiom out loud, and that's considered a correct guess."
"A round of guessing pictures lasts three minutes. If you fail to guess an idiom within three minutes, both of you will fail."
Butler Hu finished speaking.
The evil spirits below suddenly booed.
Just now Butler Hu said that this show is interesting, but to the evil spirits, this show has neither bloodshed nor screaming, and it only involves watching two humans guessing riddles at each other in a flowery way. What's the fun in that?
It is no exaggeration to say that only half of the evil spirits below barely understood the rules of the show.
As for the other half...
They are still trying to understand what the word "idiom" is.
Butler Hu laughed strangely: "Don't be impatient, I haven't finished explaining the rules yet, there are five more supplementary rules to come."
"First: Both of you are not allowed to speak."
"Second, neither of you are allowed to engage in aggressive behavior."
"Third, none of you can turn your heads around."
"Fourth, you all must move within the aperture."
"Fifth, only the person drawing can move, while the person guessing must remain motionless."
The evil spirits were still confused, and some had given up trying to understand the rules and just stared blankly at the stage.
But Wu Xian swallowed his saliva.
Many of the rules of the show are easy to understand. Not being allowed to talk is normal, and wearing masks is to prevent the two people from communicating through facial expressions, which is also very normal.
But the following four supplementary rules are a bit strange. No attack means there will be danger!
Don't turn your head, it means there might be something behind you!
What is the scope, and why are people who guess the idioms not allowed to move?
Don't give Wu Xian too much time to think.
Two servants from the Liu Mansion came over and led Wu Xian and Du E to the designated location, and the two stood face to face at a distance of four meters.
clap clap!
Along with the clapping of Butler Hu, the lights in the entire banquet hall suddenly went out, and two beams of light shone down from the ceiling, shining on Wu Xian and Du E.
Du E's heart suddenly tightened.
After the two beams of light shone down, the only person she could see was Wu Xian standing opposite her, and the rest was just darkness... No, not completely dark, there were also those evil, shining eyes, pairs of bloodthirsty eyes, staring at them intently.
Ding!
After the bell rings, the first round of timing begins.
Wu Xian was the first to pick up the whiteboard. He had a solid foundation in painting, and although his painting was not good, he could easily draw out the characteristics of things and would not easily mislead people.
Just now, when Butler Liu was explaining the rules, he had already figured out how to complete the idiom guessing game.
After whispering the four-character idiom to the servant of the Liu Mansion next to him, Wu Xian started to draw quickly. After he finished, he showed it to Du E immediately. The things on the whiteboard were:
'←, a bone, →, a plate.'
"East...left, left bone, look left and right!"
It only took Du E a few seconds to recite the idiom written by Wu Xian.
At the same time, she also understood what Wu Xian wanted to express.
The most difficult part of this show is definitely not guessing the idioms themselves.
Therefore, they need to minimize the time and understanding costs spent on guessing idioms.
Idioms should be commonly used, and the artist should replace the four characters of the idiom with symbols or small patterns, without considering the meaning of the idiom itself, and only aiming to quickly match the four notes.
After Du E said the idiom, the time on the timer began to reset.
Du E painted it in the same way.
'↑, five-pointed star, ↓, smiley face'
It didn't take Wu Xian much effort to guess that the idiom was "leaders lead by example, followers follow suit".
This shows that Du E understood Wu Xian's intention and was willing to cooperate with him.
Wu Xian was somewhat glad that the person who cooperated with him was Du E. They were of similar age, and their brain waves, knowledge levels, and intelligence levels were all comparable.
If he was working with Aunt He, or his father-in-law who has a low level of education, this show alone, just guessing the idioms, would be deadly enough!
Ding, the timer is reset.
Two of the ten idioms have been completed. Up to this point, Wu Xian still doesn’t find it difficult. It doesn’t even take three minutes. They can guess an idiom within one minute.
Wu Xian put his mouth close to the servant of Liu Mansion.
Just as he was about to say the next idiom, his face suddenly changed and he felt a chill down his spine.
He suddenly saw that a strange figure appeared behind Du E at some point!
The figure was wearing a tattered robe, had a bald head, and no hair on his body. The exposed skin was earthy yellow and covered with marks from sutures. The corners of his mouth were nailed open with nails, maintaining a weird smile that made people feel phantom pain in the corners of his mouth.
After this figure appeared.
There were sudden cheers from below.
Some of the evil spirits whistled, some screamed, and only now did they feel that this game was really becoming interesting.
The four people who had already performed their shows were about to give a reminder when they discovered that Butler Hu had been standing behind them at some point. They could only keep silent and dared not give any reminder at all.
