10 is missing one

◎Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...◎

Wang Shuo cursed so loudly that Qi Qiuxue was sure that she was not the only one who was woken up.

But except for Liu Dawei and Wang Shuo, no one in the corridor came out to watch. Everyone chose the safest way, not stepping forward presumptuously, nor taking the initiative to interfere in the cause and effect of others.

In such a copy where life and death are at stake, this is actually the most correct choice. Excessive sympathy is not a good thing and will ultimately harm others and yourself. Moreover, it is not clear what exactly happened at the moment.

"What are you doing!" Although Liu Dawei was suppressed, he was obviously unwilling to accept it. He tried to argue for himself at the top of his voice, "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying!"

"Don't understand?" Wang Shuo raised his fist and punched him hard on the nose. "I heard it last night. Someone was walking up and down the corridor, making so much noise that I couldn't sleep all night. I was thinking of just putting up with it and letting him go, but who knew it would start again tonight? I leaned over the peephole and caught you, you bastard!"

"Tell me, what is your purpose?!" Wang Shuo was not strong in stature, but he was surprisingly strong. Liu Dawei was suppressed by him and could not move at all.

"I'm just hungry! I'm just hungry!" Liu Dawei protested. He went home too early at night and didn't even have a bite of food. Now he was starving and couldn't fall asleep in bed.

He thought of the tender piece of meat again, recalling its smooth texture and unique taste. His stomach growled uncontrollably, and after tossing and turning, he finally got up.

Some of the players don't like to eat meat, so there must be some leftover meat from dinner. He wants to go to the kitchen to check. It's the small door in the southeast corner of the hall on the first floor. He remembers that the masked man came out from there. As long as he can have a bite, even a small one, he will be satisfied.

Liu Dawei tiptoed out of the door, but before he had gone far, he was caught by Wang Shuo who jumped out of the room.

"Hungry?" Wang Shuo obviously didn't believe it. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was as ferocious as a beast. "What about yesterday, huh? You were hungry yesterday too?!"

"Yesterday?" Liu Dawei was about to cry, "I slept so soundly yesterday, how could I have come out?"

"Stop lying to me!" Wang Shuo raised his fist and hit Liu Dawei's nose again, causing blood to flow. "Don't think I didn't notice your behavior this morning. You didn't sleep all night, did you? What are you holding back?"

"This isn't my first dungeon." He lowered his voice and glared at Liu Dawei in front of him, almost threateningly. "In previous dungeons, there were also bastards like you. You looked like you were on the same side as the players, but you were actually on the ghosts' side."

"I won't believe you." He took out a rope he had gotten from somewhere, tied up Liu Dawei with a neat movement, and threw him back into the room where he was. "Stay still and don't do anything rash!"

"I'll deal with you tomorrow!" He slammed the door shut and turned back.

The corridor fell silent again, as if the farce just now had never happened.

The environment can greatly affect a person. Wang Shuo is a good example. Qi Qiuxue recalled him during the day. He looked gentle and calm, but he would suddenly become manic at night.

Liu Dawei was unlucky tonight. If he hadn't come out to look for food in the middle of the night, he might not have suffered such a thing. Wang Shuo had obviously determined that he was the one who was causing trouble from the beginning to the end, and he had to teach him a lesson.

But Qi Qiuxue couldn't tell whether there was anything wrong with Liu Dawei. There were indeed many suspicious points about him: his strange condition this morning, sneaking out in the middle of the night, and the sound of a door closing that Qi Qiuxue heard in her dream last night.

If she heard correctly, the sound did come from the direction of Liu Dawei's room.

Perhaps controlling Liu Dawei now is a way to avoid risks, but Wang Shuo's behavior is still too extreme. She does not support it, but she will not take the initiative to intervene.

The other players also tacitly chose silence. In the face of life and death, help and dedication are particularly great, but silence and self-protection are more lasting.

Qi Qiuxue retreated back to the bedside and looked outside. There was still thunder and lightning outside the window. A huge flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the clock in the room. It was already three o'clock in the morning.

She stood in front of the window and looked out. Not only was it raining heavily outside, but it was also covered with thick fog. The visibility was very small and she could only vaguely see a small area in front of the hotel.

She was surprised to find that the bus was parked right at the door and the driver did not drive it back.

Why?

Qi Qiuxue frowned. Since the bus was still parked here, did it mean that Xiaoxiao and the driver actually lived nearby? Because the distance was too short, there was no need to drive at all.

Where is it? Is it one of the sparsely populated houses around here, or perhaps in this hotel?

There must be more than one car in the village. The temple standing deep in the forest is so far away that the villagers cannot just walk there to worship. They must rely on tools.

If they could get this car, or even more cars for their use in the future...

Qi Qiuxue thought in her heart, lay back on the bed and closed her eyes gently.

-

The next day came in a flash.

Qi Qiuxue got up from the bed in a daze, with a splitting headache. She didn't sleep well last night and was woken up again in the middle of the night, making her sleep quality even worse.

The clock was about to point to six o'clock. She quickly washed up and didn't bother to do anything else. She went downstairs to meet everyone. Li Yiqing and Liu Ge seemed to be about to call her, and the three of them happened to meet at the stairs.

"Are you okay?" Liu Ge glanced at Qi Qiuxue's pale face and frowned quickly. "Why are you up so late? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah." Qi Qiuxue nodded and gently pressed her solar plexus with her fingertips. "I really didn't sleep well."

"Go to the car and sleep for a while." Li Yiqing said, handing her a small bag of things. "I left breakfast for you. There are two loaves of bread and some fruit we picked yesterday."

"Thank you." Qi Qiuxue accepted her kindness and took the bag. Inside were the loquats, peaches, apricots, and cherries that everyone had picked together yesterday...

She had no appetite in the morning, so she only took two loaves of bread and returned the bag to Li Yiqing. "You can eat the rest. I only need the bread."

"Okay then." Li Yiqing reminded again worriedly, "Tell me if you need anything."

Qi Qiuxue responded, "Okay."

The three of them went downstairs together and rejoined the group. Xiaoxiao also pushed the door open at this moment and introduced herself as usual: "Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiaoxiao..."

The smile on her face was in stark contrast to the energetic and sleep-deprived players.

While listening to her speak, Qi Qiuxue subconsciously looked around the crowd. The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong. There was clearly one less person than yesterday.

Wait, where's Liu Dawei? Didn't Wang Shuo let him out this morning?

"One, two, three... fourteen, fifteen..." Xiaoxiao had also started counting the number of people, but she stopped when she counted to fifteen.

"That's not right." She said something different from yesterday. "The village head told me there were sixteen tourists on the island this time. Where's the other person?"

"Didn't anyone tell you yesterday not to be late?" Her expression grew increasingly gloomy, completely different from her earlier expression. "Being punctual, that's basic courtesy, right?"

"Where is Liu Dawei? Hasn't he come down?" Qi Qiuxue quickly confirmed with Liu Ge beside her.

"Not during dinner." Liu Ge quickly answered her question, "But he's not the only player who does this. After all, a lot happened last night, and some people didn't sleep well. It's normal to want to sleep a little longer."

"We didn't pay attention to what happened later. At that time, Aqing and I were busy packing breakfast for you, and we discussed going upstairs together to call you. We don't know whether he came down or not." After saying this, Liu Ge glanced sideways at Wang Shuo in the team.

Many other players also cast the same glance. The noise from the quarrel and fight last night was so loud that even the players on the first floor heard it. They all looked at Wang Shuo at the same time, as if silently asking: Where is the person? Where did you take him?

Wang Shuo was being stared at by so many people, feeling angry and annoyed: "Why are you all looking at me?!"

"Didn't you tie up Liu Dawei last night? Now he's missing, we must look for you." Geng Hao, who also lives on the second floor, said softly.

"It's true that I tied him up, but I was just trying to scare him yesterday. The rope wasn't tied tight at all. He could have gotten free with just a little struggle!" He gritted his teeth and defended himself, "Who knows why he didn't come down? Maybe he overslept. After all, he was late yesterday, wasn't he? I..."

"What are you arguing about so early in the morning?" Xiaoxiao interrupted the argument without waiting for the other players to respond. "Why doesn't the other guy come down? Why don't we just go to his room and take a look?"

"Let's take a look!" Wang Shuo had no objection. In order to prove his innocence, he took the lead in going up the stairs and forcefully opened the door of Liu Dawei's room.

Then, he widened his eyes and froze in silence.
