Shi Jinzhe activated the formation, picked up the head on the bed and examined it. After putting it down, he bent the corpse's arms twice: "There is no skin, so we can't see the expression before death. The muscles are also destroyed, so it's hard to estimate the exact time of death. However, there are signs of joint fixation, so it is estimated that he died two to three hours ago, which is around 3 a.m. Has anyone noticed anything unusual at that time?"

"No, I live on the seventh floor and didn't hear any unusual noises." The man who answered was in his thirties. He had a gentle and refined demeanor, but his voice was very serious.

He said, "I'm right next door. I didn't sleep much last night. It's very quiet here. There's no screaming or door opening and closing, nothing at all."

Shi Jinzhe then asked, "Who was the first to discover that these two people were dead?"

"It's me." It was the same man who spoke up. "My surname is Yu. This girl is my student, and I am her university teacher. I was worried, so I knocked on the door to check on things. When I found something was wrong, my companion and I broke down the door."

"You broke this door?" Lin Xian looked the university teacher up and down. He looked rather thin. Could it be that he used a skill?

"My teammate broke it with a skill, but she couldn't handle it, so she went back first."

Then someone asked, "You're her teacher, why don't you team up with her? It seems like this girl was only recruited quite late in the game. What's the point of caring about someone after they've already died?"

This is just crocodile tears, a charade.

The malice in her words was undisguised, causing the listener to frown. Teacher Yu said bluntly, "I am her teacher, not her father. My concern is out of humanitarianism, but her personality will hold me back. I also want to live, so it is impossible for me to team up with her. Besides, she probably didn't even recognize me. Why would I team up with her?"

"So you took all the props from both of them?" Shekh suddenly asked after inspecting A703.

She smelled a faint metallic scent inside the room, not the sweet, metallic smell of blood, but real rust.

There was nothing rusty in the room. But thinking of the neatly cut meat strips, Shekh thought there must be some rusty iron objects here, like a dagger.

After her identity changed to a player, she browsed the store quite a bit. She remembered that there was a four-point tetanus dagger on the first page of the attack category. One of the two dead players should have used this item.

Shehe bypassed Teacher Yu and slowly walked to Shi Jinzhe's side. He gently touched the two dead corpses with his hand, and thanks to the defensive effect of the formation, his fingers did not bleed.

Although the room was filled with mixed smells, none of the players here carried as much of the bloody stench as Teacher Yu. And on these two corpses, besides Shi Jinzhe's scent, there was also Teacher Yu's scent, as he had turned both of their bodies over.

"Items, points, skill cards, how much did you take?"

Seeing how frank she was, Teacher Yu admitted honestly, "Not much. The two of us only have twenty points. We didn't get any skill cards, and we have a ghost-repelling talisman, a tetanus dagger, and two hunger-suppressing candies."

He spread his hands, "That's all. That's all. This guy surnamed Luo definitely didn't clear the level six times, at most three times. I didn't find anything good."

Adhering to the principle of avoiding direct confrontation, Teacher Yu asked, "Do you need it? I can give it to you."

"No need, just tell me everything you saw when you came in."

Shekh wasn't interested in these ordinary items, nor did he have any skill cards. They were worthless; Shi Jinzhe's system inventory was full of them, he could grab a handful of them.

Teacher Yu felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

This probing was worthwhile. These two don't lack these things. Compared to fighting for points and items, they only care about skill cards. If someone else dies later, he won't have to worry too much.

"Actually, it's the same as what you see. I recreated their death scenes exactly as they were before they came in, without changing a single detail."

Shi Jinzhe asked, "So that's how her hands and head were positioned?"

Teacher Yu: "Yes, place your head on your hip bone and raise both arms overhead."

How many points does she have left?

"Three points? I've never seen so few."

Shi Jinzhe nodded thoughtfully and asked Shehe, "Judging from her words and actions yesterday, have you thought of a word, a four-character word?"

Shekh: "Yes, he's all talk and no action."

They have a good idea, but their abilities don't match it, and they don't think there's anything wrong with the demands they're making.

With the tetanus dagger included, she had a total of seven cents left. Under these circumstances, she naturally asked her teammates to buy her food from the store.

Although Shekh looks down on Rory, his problems don't mean Princess Cut is without flaws. She does have a flawed self-perception and is somewhat unrealistic.

Shi Jin rubbed his fingers back and forth on his chin. "I think so too. Her death method is related to her personality, but Luo Rui is a person who flatters the powerful and belittles the weak. I don't see how his death method is related to this word yet."

Unable to think of any further clues, Shekh suggested going back first, and Shi Jinzhe agreed. They walked out together, leaving the others with their backs to each other.

At the door, Lin Xian took out two tissues and handed them to Sister Liang. "Sister, there will be many more cases like this in the future. It's one thing for people to die, but you're going to kill people with your own hands."

"Hmm." Liang Fengzhi couldn't spit it out and didn't have the strength to speak. This so-called survival game was more cruel than she had imagined.

"You heard what they were saying, right? You're very lucky; at least two high-level players are willing to help you. If you were a complete newbie, you would have ended up like that auntie from yesterday."

"I know, I just need an adjustment period."

Seeing Shi Jinzhe and Shehe walk away, Lin Xian said in a low voice, "Then let's hurry up and follow them."

“Wait a minute,” Liang Fengzhi threw away the used paper ball and cheered himself up. “I know you’re taking care of me to get on their good side. We’re both clinging to their coattails, but I have to make it clear first that I’m not familiar with them, and I don’t know why they’re willing to take me on. According to you, players are all selfish, and it’s already good enough that they’re willing to give me information. So don’t think you can get anything more from them through me.”

Years of kindness can wear off, let alone a single encounter. Here, she has to let go of some things and also make a fact clear to Lin Xian.

"If they get tired of me, you won't get what you want."

Lin Xian choked up: "...I understand, Sister Liang, I won't do anything."

Liang Fengzhi laughed, "But since you've been so considerate of me, and they're so observant, they're bound to notice. Don't overthink it, let's go."

...

Shi Jinzhe and Shehe didn't go back to the fifth floor; instead, they strolled around each floor as if taking a walk.

Sheh heard Liang Fengzhi and Lin Xian's conversation clearly and said to Shi Jinzhe, "Give a stick and then a sweet treat. If Liang Fengzhi weren't a cheater, he would be quite suitable for the game."

"Yes, it's a pity about Sister Liang."

Shi Jinzhe said with a hint of regret, "However, the newcomer still lacks experience. After listening to our conversation, she should have waited a few days before saying those words to Lin Xian. Showing her personality too early is not a good thing in this instance."
