Hearing Mu Chen's survival-oriented answer, Mingmei couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't even asked yet, and the other party had already given her this answer.

[Host, don't be fooled by his words. Maybe he's just pretending!]

Oh~

Mingmei's reply was rather perfunctory.

Gui Gui's attitude towards Mu Chen is almost identical to, if not exactly the same as, that of her godfather.

Mingmei could roughly guess what her godfather must have said to Guigui.

Unaware that she had given herself away, Gui Gui was heartbroken as she watched her host and Mu Chen grow closer and closer, feeling extremely distressed!

He couldn't do the task that Lord Liu Liu had given him!

"Do you want to go in and take a look? I'll keep watch for you."

Seeing that Mingmei was staring at him without saying a word, Mu Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her: "If you need anything, just call me and I'll come in."

"Um."

Mingmei nodded in agreement and turned to go through the door. Since Mu Chen had noticed the door of the previous room immediately, Mingmei subconsciously looked towards Lu Xiaoyao's room as well, and then…

Huh?

The door wasn't even latched?

How could you be so careless?

Mingmei frowned in confusion, turned around, and saw that one of the two beds in the room was missing.

Mingmei approached the person who was tightly wrapped in a quilt with only half of their head sticking out, and realized that it was Lu Xiaoyao.

So, was this sleeping position custom-designed for her by the system, or was it a pose she created herself?

Mingmei glanced at the empty bed on the other side, and then scanned the room to make sure there was nothing in the room that would embarrass Mu Chen. So she called Mu Chen in.

When he heard Mingmei call him, Mu Chen's eyes were still looking down when he entered the room. He didn't look around. He was so compliant with "male virtues" that even Gui Gui didn't know what to say when she saw him backstage.

They were just saying he was pretentious, but he's been here for ages and hasn't even blinked. There's no way to criticize him for that.

Seeing him like this, Mingmei was very happy, but she still said arrogantly, "Come and see, only Lu Xiaoyao is left in this room, Bai Xiao is not here."

As Mingmei spoke, Mu Chen looked up at the beds over there. Sure enough, apart from Lu Xiaoyao, the other bed was empty.

However, Mu Chen looked at her for a moment, then took two steps forward and stood by Bai Xiao's bedside for a while before saying, "She's in the room."

As he spoke, he gestured with his toes to look under the bed at Mingmei.

Sure enough, when Mingmei bent down to look under the empty bed, she saw Bai Xiao lying motionless with her eyes closed, holding a dagger in her hand. Mingmei was speechless for a moment.

“What’s wrong with her…” Mingmei looked at Mu Chen, but Mu Chen said, “I guess she’s the player with the lowest favorability rating today, so she’s feeling guilty and trying to save herself.”

"Those who want to save themselves but didn't buy lunch from me?" Tonight, not only Lu Xiaoyao, but even those who bought lunch from me the night before last can come and buy again.

"They probably forgot. You have no idea how many underhanded things they did tonight." Mu Chen was too lazy to talk about it anymore. They wanted to cooperate but were also deceiving, hiding, and testing each other. Thinking about all that, Mu Chen glanced at Lu Xiaoyao again, "Except for her."

"If you want to save yourself, then... the door..." Mingmei thought, Mu Chen pointed to the door that wasn't bolted, "This means someone has already been here, but couldn't find anyone?"

"No."

Mu Chen glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, who was sleeping on the bed, with a half-smile, and said, "Bai Xiao is shifting the blame."

"It's one thing to hide under the bed yourself. But to move Lu Xiaoyao to your own bed and loosen the door latch, and look at Lu Xiaoyao's sleeping posture, it's like someone really came in. Isn't Lu Xiaoyao basically using a substitute?"

"How did you know?" Mingmei asked in surprise. They had only come in for a short while, so how did Mu Chen know?

“The creases on these two beds are different.” Mu Chen pointed to the creases on the empty bed, then pointed to the one under Lu Xiaoyao. “Lu Xiaoyao’s sheets are still very smooth at the edges, and there are no other creases except for some under her.”

"On the contrary, Bai Xiao's bed... even if no one sleeps there, the bed doesn't look very neat, and there are quite a few wrinkles. This is not the habit of a student in the combat command class."

"Oh, I see." Reminded by Mu Chen, Mingmei also remembered that when she usually went to Lu Xiaoyao's dormitory, her dormitory was not very tidy, and her bed was naturally not very neat either.

Sometimes they can even curl the blankets they're covered in into a little nest.

Looking at it this way, Mingmei also felt that the bed Lu Xiaoyao was lying on was indeed not something she could have cleaned up.

"Isn't Bai Xiao afraid that Lu Xiaoyao will find out about how she tricked her like this?"

"How could she know?" Mu Chen thought about Mingmei's question. Given Lu Xiaoyao's slowness of perception, he really didn't think Lu Xiaoyao would discover anything.

Mingmei: ...Are you serious about saying so bluntly that Lu Xiaoyao isn't smart?

"So now it's..."

Mingmei felt a little uncomfortable thinking about Bai Xiao's actions, but she also understood the nature of this game. "Should we wait here and see what happens?"

Mu Chen shook his head: "It's not necessarily Bai Xiao who will die tonight."

"Hmm? What do you know?"

"I'll know if my guess is right once I see it."

As Mu Chen spoke, he led Mingmei outside. Just as they reached the door, he suddenly heard footsteps not far away. He raised his hand to stop them, and Mingmei stopped as well.

Following Mu Chen's gaze, Mingmei and Mu Chen saw a person emerge from the darkness of the corridor.
