Nan Xiu read it once and asked, "What does it mean? Are we supposed to guess the word or the location?"
"'Afterlife' should be related to reincarnation." Su Yinyin opened the map and looked at it. She felt that the most likely places were Enbo Temple and Citian Temple.
"I think these two are quite similar. You two can split up and check to see if that location has any instructions related to this."
"good."
Just as they were about to walk away, Su Yinyin asked again, "Who of you came first?"
Ye Teng and He Yuan looked at each other, wanting to speak but not saying anything.
Su Yinyin saw her concerns and said:
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, but everyone only has one chance to get the clue. I see there are only nine minutes left before the first person is eliminated. If we waste one person's chance..."
"Our chances of winning are only one point smaller. Let me start by saying, I've won two rounds and am now in the back, so the person behind me has also moved one round forward. Do the math in your head."
This kind of thing requires team communication. What she needs to do is remind her teammates what the ultimate goal is and then keep looking outward.
Ye Teng finally stepped forward and said, "I'm quite far ahead, let me use that wooden sign."
"Okay, then try to use this opportunity before you're eliminated. We'll continue looking for clues. Your two teams can go to Enbo Temple and Citian Temple."
After saying that, she and Lu Jingxu continued to look for clues elsewhere.
After searching for a while, I happened to run into Han Yuze coming from the front.
"Yin Yin, do you have any clues?"
"We found a map. You can copy it down. They also found the number one wooden sign and some clues. We're verifying them now. I think they're almost there."
The first twenty minutes are about to end, which also means that the first player is about to be eliminated.
Sure enough, not long after, an elimination notice sounded over the radio: "Player Ye Teng, eliminated. Clue number one, Ci Tian Temple, verification failed."
Su Yinyin sighed: "It seems that the first bet was wrong."
"What? I'm eliminated!!! How come twenty minutes are up already and I haven't even played a single role."
Su Yinyin felt that the clue number one must be the contact code of Enbo Temple, so she ran downstairs to find them.
After strolling around, they disappeared and only Qu Mingkai was left wandering outside.
"Where are they?"
When Qu Mingkai saw Su Yinyin, he didn't know why he was a little wary. He stammered, "They went to look for other clues."
Su Yinyin didn't think much about it and continued.
"Oh, aren't you in the same group with Nan Xiu? Why don't you go together? Did they go to Enbo Temple? The first clue should be there."
"Ye Teng was eliminated. He was eliminated early, not at the normal time."
Su Yinyin was a little surprised: "How could it be?"
"So now they suspect that either the clue was given to the wrong person and he was eliminated early, or the undercover agent took action."
"It can't be the murderer who stabbed someone."
Qu Mingkai looked at her with a probing look: "Are you so sure?"
Su Yinyin then realized that her tone was indeed a bit too harsh. Although it was because she already knew who the murderer was, she also felt that the person would not waste his only chance to kill so easily.
"No, what I mean is that the murderer didn't need to kill so early, because Ye Teng was about to be eliminated... and the murderer had conditions for killing people with a knife, and couldn't kill people from a distance. If there are no suspicious persons among you, I think the first one you mentioned is more likely."
Although the rules of the game do not state that you will be eliminated if you lose the opportunity, it seems that this is the case now.
However, Su Yinyin still had a doubt.
"By the way, how do you know Ye Teng wasn't eliminated at the normal time? Isn't twenty minutes almost up?"
Before he could finish his words, a voice rang out over the radio: "Ding Lingling, player Nan Xiu is eliminated."
???
Qu Mingkai said, "Did you hear that? Nan Xiu is the first one, Ye Teng is the second one, and there will be a ding-ling-ling ring prefix when they are eliminated. The time you told us before was wrong."
She was stunned and found that the time on her watch was indeed five minutes faster than the actual time.
I don't know when someone secretly changed the time on my watch.
Su Yinyin suddenly realized why Qu Mingkai was so wary when he saw her. She had told him the wrong time and misled Ye Teng into being eliminated early.
"I understand." She didn't want to explain anything. After all, she didn't notice the action of adjusting the watch.
"But I still feel the need to tell you that we don't have much time left. I can now confirm that Number One is Enboguan."
Now that things have come to this, it’s up to them whether to do it or not. The most important thing now is to find wooden sign number two.
Upon hearing this, Qu Mingkai seemed a little hesitant.
———
Zhao Jing found clue number three, which was good news. At the same time, the wooden sign number two was also found.
"Have you found the number two wooden sign?" Lu Jingxu finally got into the game. Before this, he seemed to have no interest in doing anything, especially in the first two rounds of the game.
Su Yinyin nodded: "Qu Mingkai has been found. I think he is probably at Qianjin Inn."
Clue number three is: Two colorful phoenixes fly in the clouds, while a lone wild goose searches for a thousand miles away.
"Why?" Zhao Jing was a little confused, because this clue clearly did not provide very accurate guidance.
"I just went to the Qianjin Inn. The owner of that inn not only runs an inn business, but also runs a civilian intelligence agency. The key point is that the owner's name contains Feihong. This should be a very intuitive explanation."
At this time, the broadcast finally came that clue number one had been successfully verified.
Because Ye Teng was eliminated early, there was a forty-minute gap between the first and third eliminations. Su Yinyin adjusted the time back to the accurate one and found that it was almost time.
This action was seen by Qu Mingkai who just came over with the clue, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Let's gather first and exchange information."
Fortunately, everyone was not scattered yet, and Han Yuze gathered everyone together after walking around the mall for a while.
"We've got clue number one. It's a half-broken jade pendant tied with a red string. It looks like a token of love."
Qu Mingkai said.
He Yuan thought for a while, then looked up and said, "Let me first tell you what I think. I doubt Teacher Zhao Jing. There's nothing else to say. Su Yinyin and Han Yuze are childhood sweethearts and have a stable relationship."
"If this jade pendant represents a broken relationship, then it could only be that she was forced to marry the general. The tragic death of the canary might have been her way of feigning madness to avoid the wedding."
Zhao Jing's expression fell. "Me? How could I not know? I actually think Qu Mingkai is the biggest suspect. His storyline with Nan Xiu is vague, but one thing is certain: they can't escape public criticism, so maybe they're separated."
In short, there is no conclusion after all the arguments.
However, only Su Yinyin was more certain of who the undercover agent behind the scenes was when she saw the token for the first time.
