Chapter 64 Tonight, No. 5 Dies

The audience in the live broadcast room were also confused.

[? Doesn’t it say that one room can accommodate one person? Is this person a viewer? Why is he in the same room with the anchor? ]

[You are new here, right? This person is also a host. As for why they are in the same room... (scratching head)]

Zhang Lian took out a children's whiteboard from the system backpack, held a black marker in his hand, and wrote: "Before you officially acknowledge that I am a part of your world, I am a stowaway in your world. I can enter the dungeon with you, but the range of my activities is very small, and I cannot speak."

As he said this, he made an "X" on his lips.

Li Ziyue: “…”

"If you die, I will die too."

Zhang Lian drew a crying little ghost next to the word "death", and there were two little ghosts on the word "you", one wearing a crown standing high up, and the other kneeling humbly, with the words "Please".

Li Ziyue looked at the four little ghosts and wanted to laugh and curse at the same time.

He turned around and looked around the room, not intending to pay any more attention to Zhang Lian.

Zhang Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

No objection means agreement.

The room is in European style, with soft black-brown carpet covering the entire floor, and a white woolen knot at the front.

What does this “①” mean?

There was a large electronic fireplace against the wall, with a simulated flame burning on the screen, and a dagger with a hilt hung diagonally on the wall above it.

Li Ziyue pulled out the dagger. The sharp blade seemed to shine with a dazzling silver light. He applied a little force and the tip of the knife poked a small hole in the wall covered with a thin layer of wood.

The sharp knife in the copy is most likely the murder weapon used by the traitor.

According to the previous explanation given by the system, the task of the inner ghost is to ensure that someone dies every night, but the knife is in his room. Could he be the inner ghost?

Li Ziyue shook his head. His goal was to kill as few people as possible, while the traitor's goal was to kill as many people as possible. Their goals conflicted, so logically speaking, he would not be the traitor.

But other exceptions are not ruled out, and it is not uncommon for one person to have dual identities in a copy.

He put the knife back where it belonged.

This house is weird in more ways than one.

First of all, the length, width and height of the room are not normal.

Li Ziyue looked up at the ceiling.

A rough estimate based on his height shows that the length, width and height of the room are all five meters. Taking into account factors such as pressure bearing and area utilization, a general bedroom is three meters high. This room is a bit too high.

In addition, there are four doors in the room, located in the middle of the four walls.

All the light came from the crystal chandelier above his head. There were no windows, which made it impossible for him to tell east, west, and north.

The position of the bed was also unusual.

The head of the bed is usually against the wall, but in order to leave space for the door, it is placed in the middle of the room, so the head of the bed stands out.

Or in other words...will someone come in through those four doors?

The system explains again.

[Each game has day and night. During the day, you can open the door to communicate with people in other rooms. Everyone has a total of 4 opportunities to open the door]

[Everyone must have a video conference every round. The host decides when to start the conference. During the conference, the host can make a request or question to people who have not entered the room.]

[Everyone needs to decide whether to vote for the traitor during the meeting. The traitor being selected does not mean the end of the game. Those who are wrongly identified as the traitor will be eliminated.]

In this way, if the operation is not done properly in one game, two spectators may die...

Li Ziyue looked at the gold coin description at the bottom of the system interface:

① No audience member dies: Get 2 to the 11th power of gold coins

②1 audience member dies: Receive 2 to the power of 10 gold coins

③2 audience members die: 2 to the power of 9 gold coins are obtained

…

[Warm Tips: Gold coins will become your life-saving chips in the dungeon, and can reveal to you that there are confrontation links in the dungeon]

The confrontation phase is relatively rare in the infinite flow copy, and Li Ziyue has probably encountered it a few times.

For example, if the confrontation is a "gun duel", then gold coins will become "bullets". Regardless of the player's gun skills, the prerequisite for the player to win is that the player must have bullets.

If you have no bullets in the gun fight, all the fancy skills are useless.

Therefore, the amount of gold coins is very important, and try to have more than other players.

The most ideal situation at the moment is that no audience member dies, but from a probability perspective, this is almost impossible. Ending the game when one audience member dies is the optimal solution that everyone pursues.

Li Ziyue looked elsewhere and saw that Zhang Lian had been sitting on the bed at some point, with a trash can at his feet, and he was peeling an apple.

Noticing Li Ziyue's gaze, he raised his head, holding a piece of cut apple in his hand, and gestured to Li Ziyue.

Li Ziyue: “?” Are you here for vacation?

Zhang Lian held up the whiteboard: "My range of movement is limited to this side of the bed." He stretched his hand forward, and after touching a transparent energy barrier, he could no longer move.

"So I can only sit here and peel apples for you." He took out a fruit plate from his backpack and said, "Would you like some grapes?"

Li Ziyue: “???? You?”

Zhang Lian blinked innocently, and before Li Ziyue could react, he took out a note from the bedside table: "This may be useful to you."

Li Ziyue was holding the note in his hand and chewing an apple piece in his mouth.

The note read: [Facing each other, it seems impossible, but only you can kill him]

His eyes narrowed slightly.

There was a prompt sound from the system.

[After 10 seconds, everyone can choose to open any of the four doors in the room. Note that everyone can only open the door four times in total]

Li Ziyue kept silent. After 10 seconds, he opened all four doors of the room without hesitation.

[The number of times to open the door has been used up, no one else is allowed to open the door]

A series of questions popped up in the live broadcast room instantly.

【??? Why did the anchor use all the opportunities without consulting anyone?!】

[This way, other viewers have no participation at all]

[No, apart from the anchor, there is no reasonable explanation for anyone else opening the door, and it is easy to be mistaken for an insider]

[Then why can the anchor do it? 】

Li Ziyue ignored the questions in the live broadcast room.

He walked straight into the door at the top of the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a number ⑤ on the other side’s carpet.

The owner of Room 5 was a talkative college student. When he saw Li Zi coming over, his eyes lit up for a moment.

"Oh my god! I see the real person!" he said excitedly, "Brother, I have been watching your live broadcast since elementary school. Now I am a freshman in college... Oh, I am still a member of the Li family army..."

Li Ziyue's smiling face froze in an instant.

If the housing manager enters the dungeon one day, he can't guarantee that he will beat him up.

Room No. 5 is exactly the same as Li Ziyue's room.

The room layout, the dagger on the wall, the four doors...except for a label with the number ⑤ on the carpet, everything else was a replica of his room.

Also because the room had no windows, Li Ziyue was unable to determine the approximate location of the room.

Tsk.

Why is it arranged like this?

He went to look at the remaining three rooms.

Except for the number, everything else is the same.

Number 4 was a busy lawyer. When Li Ziyue arrived, he was sitting on the bed drafting a proposal for Party A. Li Ziyue chatted with him and learned that he liked to watch horror unlimited live broadcasts while working to relieve his irritable mood caused by work.

Li Ziyue: "...What a unique way of soothing."

This time, No. 4 had just entered the live broadcast room and had not yet seen the update notification clearly when he was selected to enter the copy.

Fortunately, there is internet here, otherwise No. 4 would really ask the traitor to kill him and ask him to go back and submit the proposal.

Li Ziyue: "...Okay, okay, keep busy, please."

"I will send you a big rocket every time a dungeon ends," No. 4 said seriously, typing away on his keyboard. "Host, please finish this game quickly. Don't let me down and don't let down my expectations and long-term investment in points."

“…Okay, okay.”

When he saw No. 2, Li Ziyue thought he was hallucinating Liu Fengfeng from the previous copy.

It’s not because of anything else, No. 2 seems to have been hungry for a long time or has been smoking and drinking too much.

He was so thin that he was almost skin and bones, and his mental state was extremely bad. Li Ziyue had to say the same sentence more than three times before he could understand what it meant.

Unlike No. 4, No. 2 was happy to be chosen.

"Host, can you lead us to victory..." He looked at Li Ziyue stupidly and swallowed his hungry saliva shyly, "I... am too poor... I need some... money... so that I can make a comeback..."

Li Ziyue took out a bunch of snacks from Zhang Lian’s backpack and gave them to No. 2, then sighed and closed the door.

The last number 6 was a high school student who was leaning on the bed doing his comprehensive science test paper. Li Ziyue didn't say much to him, but he explained the physics part of the comprehensive science test paper to him.

"You should open a cram school, brother," No. 6 hugged Li Ziyue and cried with emotion, "I will definitely pay my points to sign up! Oh my God, I never understood celestial motion before, but now that you explain it, I can even launch a rocket!"

Li Ziyue recalled the English class representative's comment on him: "You always jump directly from the first step to the last step, and I can't understand it at all." He held his forehead and said, "...No. It's because you have a strong ability to understand."

After going through all four rooms, Li Ziyue started the six-person meeting.

At this moment, the screen in the live broadcast room also changed.

[Hey, six live broadcast frames, I can see the actions of six people in the room at the same time]

[I feel like I'm sitting in the monitoring room staring at the security guard]

[…Don’t you think someone’s expression is abnormal? ]

[Damn... Now that I put it that way... Don't forget that there is a person who is a traitor created by the data! ]

[??? But he doesn’t look like...]

——The host cannot see the comments that contain spoilers——

Li Ziyue looked at the five people who appeared on the large screen projected by the system. Among them was a girl he had never seen before. She should be the last number 3.

"No. 3, can you please turn your system around? I want to see the structure of your room."

really.

Room 3 is no different from the others.

New problems arise.

As mentioned earlier, everyone can open the four doors in their own room to go to other people's rooms at will, but there are only six rooms in total...

What kind of room structure can achieve all this?

Li Ziyue looked at everyone on the screen expressionlessly.

There is also an insider.

The demon will kill someone tonight.

But he didn't notice anything unusual during the conversation just now. Besides, even if there was a traitor, the crime had not happened, and there was too little information to use. He really had no idea about the traitor now.

Since nothing happened in the first round, everyone chose to abstain when the meeting came to identify the traitor.

Li Ziyue sat on the other side of the bed, looking at the barrage in deep thought.

Zhang Lian was free enough to start making desserts. Occasionally, when Li Ziyue glanced over, he would always see him taking out a tool like an "oven" from his backpack.

It's a treasure chest...

Li Ziyue thought about the scene of looking for snacks in Zhang Lian’s backpack just now.

That's not a backpack anymore, it's a supermarket.

Fortunately, the previous dungeon did not allow players to eat the food in their backpacks, otherwise Zhang Lian would have stayed in the "Suicidal Farmer" dungeon for several years without starving to death.

Only then did Li Ziyue have time to answer the questions in the barrage.

[I still want to know why the anchor opened the door so quickly. Did the anchor know something at that time? ]

Li Ziyue shook his head: "I opened the door just to take the initiative into my own hands."

"At the beginning, we were all separated. The traitor did not have the privilege to sneak into other rooms. He could only disguise himself as a normal audience and enter other people's rooms by opening the door."

"The mole's job is to make sure someone dies every night, but if the mole never even steps into that room, how can he kill anyone?"

"I have to make sure that I am the only one who has entered those rooms. This is the first thing I can do to prevent murder from within."

In fact, a rational insider would most likely not open the door today. Once he opens the door, he will become the target of public criticism if he cannot reasonably explain his behavior.

Li Ziyue's move not only had the purpose of subtly making everyone agree that the act of "opening the door" belonged to the anchor, but also restricted the actions of insiders.

In the later stage, once someone opens the door before the host, the probability that he is a traitor will increase significantly, and everyone will point the finger at him.

Li Ziyue thought for a while and added: "Although I'm not sure if this will work."

There is still too little information available, and his behavior is not without risk.

[But if something really happens, you will be the first one to be suspected]

Li Ziyue remained silent and did not respond to this comment.

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

At this time, you will hear the system prompt.

[When night falls, all doors are locked and people cannot enter or leave the room]

He heard a series of uniform "click" sounds all around him, and when he looked up, he saw that the door locks on all four walls had turned blood red.

Li Ziyue pushed the door handle down with his hand.

The door handle didn't budge at all, and the door couldn't be opened.

He pressed himself against the wall. It was so quiet around him that apart from his breathing, no other sound could be heard.

Can the inner demon kill people?

He held the note in his hand.

[Facing each other, it seems impossible, but only you can kill him]

Where he couldn't see, the live broadcast room was exploding with comments.

[Oh my god! ! What the hell is he doing? ! ! ! ]

[No? Is this okay? Then wouldn't everything Brother Li did today be wasted? ]

[Who could have guessed it was him? That's too outrageous]

「I’m torn apart... It’s really impossible to kill someone... It’s really impossible.」

"bite--"

The system emitted an ear-piercing beep, and everyone's nerves instantly tensed.

Then I heard the system announcement.

[Tonight, No. 5 dies]
