Chapter 355 Indiscriminate Killing
?The night passed quite peacefully, but early the next morning, the players discovered that Li Chao was missing.
When they asked Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong could not explain clearly, but Hu Shan told them that Li Chao had left the castle early because of something urgent and had spoken to her before leaving.
Liu Zhengping was about to rebel at this moment. Three players were missing quietly, and the missing guests were not found. Rather than sit back and wait for death, he might as well give it a try and simply destroy the lair of the dungeon boss.
?But before he could take action, a hand from each side stretched out to hold his shoulders. One was You Qiwen. It was not surprising that the two were so close, but the other was Xu Huo.
At this time Mr. Dong spoke up, "Mr. Ma and Mrs. Ma also left last night."
?The players didn''t react much. The Ma couple had little contact with other players, and they were most likely cannibals. It would be a good thing for them to die.
Hu Shan, on the other hand, glanced at Mr. Dong, with obvious emotion on her face, "When did they leave?"
“Midnight.” As soon as Mr. Dong finished speaking, he heard the servant calling him. He bowed to the players and left.
Hu Shan never had a good attitude towards the players, and was too lazy to maintain superficial etiquette. She warned harshly: "The third floor is full of valuables. It''s best not to hang around there, otherwise whatever is lost will be charged to you." superior!"
If you haven''t seen the rooms on the third floor, players might still look down upon them, but those rooms are full of potions and collected props, which would make everyone jealous. Listening to what she said, even Liu Zhengping, who has a bad temper, wouldn''t try. Quick tongue.
Fry''s expression was not very good, "Li Chao must have been killed. He went to the third floor last night."
"What did he go to the third floor for? Didn''t I say that we can''t go up to the third floor for the time being..." You Qiwen realized before he finished speaking, "He went to steal something?"
"Is he crazy? He didn''t complete the dungeon mission, so why did he steal something?" Liu Zhengping couldn''t believe it. A normal person would only make a profit when he was sure that he was going to leave. Otherwise, he would offend the dungeon boss in vain, and he would not be seeking death. ?
“He seemed pretty confident he wouldn’t get caught.” Frye sighed.
The others were silent. After a few seconds, You Qiwen said: "It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Ma are also dead. It is basically certain that the murderers in the castle were at least Hu Shan and Mr. Dong."
"Wait a minute." Liu Zhengping interrupted him and looked at Xu Huo, "If you want to join, you have to provide valuable information."
Xu Huo refused when Frye invited everyone to cooperate with the contract. Now they should not share the information gained from their adventure.
"Okay," Xu Huo said simply, "I can tell you certain information. There are non-task players in this copy, and the Ma couple are them."
?The people present looked at him, and Wei Landeng said: "So you are indeed reminding us on purpose? And the previous dinner?"
“How do you prove that what you say is true?” Frye frowned.
Xu Huo took out four invitations and said, "The signed invitations were given by the game, and the unsigned ones were snatched from a cannibal player by me."
“On the first day I came here, the Ma couple came to see me. They probably saw the smell of corpses on the umbrella I was holding and thought I was the same kind.”
"Then did they say who invited them here?" Liu Zhengping asked quickly.
"They don''t know either." Xu Huo accepted the invitation, "This should prove my identity."
“You can say it clearly from the beginning, there’s no need to cover it up,” You Qiwen said.
“What’s the difference whether you say it or not?” Chen Nan said: “Whether it’s a mission player or a non-mission player, aren’t there some who are dead?”
“Then I don’t understand,” Liu Zhengping said: “Shouldn’t it be us who are targeted by non-task players when they intervene? Why are they also being killed?”
Frye looked at Xu Huo, "Did you kill the Ma couple?" "Of course not." Xu Huo said: "I am also a D-level player. How can I fight one against two? They may be the same as Fang Min."
The Chen brothers glanced at him.
“Is there someone in the castle helping us?” Wei Landeng asked in surprise.
"It may not be to help us." You Qiwen was not so optimistic, "It is more likely to kill people indiscriminately."
"Let me clarify, that is to say, there are people in the castle who deliberately invite non-task players to muddy the waters, and there are people who are killing players indiscriminately... Are they the same person?" Frye said.
“It’s hard to say.” Xu Huo asked, “Have you found any clues about the missing guests?”
"We have searched all the places we can find outside, and we have also looked at the annex at the back." You Qiwen said: "There are no conditions for hiding a body. When I visited the third floor yesterday, I roughly measured the length of the inside and outside of the house. There was nothing inside the wall. Mezzanine.”
“The remaining rooms are the rooms commonly used by Hope, focusing on the bedroom, lounge and music room.”
"But these places are the most dangerous. If you want to go up, you have to lead Ho Pu down."
"How to lead? He is up there all day long." Liu Zhengping said.
"Dinner, he will be down during dinner time." Wei Landeng said: "We have half an hour to an hour."
“But during this period we cannot leave the banquet at will.” Chen Tu said: “Even if we leave the banquet, we should not be able to avoid Mr. Dong and Hu Shan.”
"I can go." Xu Huo said, "I have been eating in my room for the past two days, so it''s not a big problem to go."
“But I was attacked the night before yesterday. Haven’t you been in danger these past few nights?”
"No." Wei Landeng looked around, "We are all staying in the room."
“Neither do we.” Chen Tu said.
? Xu Huo nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "You must find a way to hold off Hu Shan and Mr. Dong during dinner."
You Qiwen and others said there was no problem.
“Are there any non-task players among us?” Frye hesitated.
?After Xu Huo gave tangible evidence just now, players are avoiding this issue.
“Actually, it’s easy to know who the non-mission players are, just check the invitation.” Chen Tu said calmly, “But now the non-mission players are also in the same boat as us, so there’s no need for internal strife.”
"I agree." You Qiwen''s dark face was extremely serious, "Every internal friction will greatly increase the risk of failure to pass the level, and this copy is obviously more difficult than it should be."
?Others will naturally not object. When it is clear that one player is dead and four others are missing, holding together for warmth is the only way out.
“Then it’s decided.”
After the group made simple planning steps, Wei Landeng took out a pair of steamed bun-sized Pinch Le Chicken toys, "This prop can convey a simple message. Just hold the toys in the hands of different people, pinch one end, and squeeze the other." The toy at one end will also deflate automatically. One pinch indicates action, two pinches indicates retreat, and three pinches indicates danger. "
