With the decision made, everyone began to form groups.
Yu Jianing, Song Xitong, and Bai Puti form a group.
Wen Jueqian, Jiang Lianyin, Shen Fuyao, and An Wanhe form a group.
Everyone split up to search for clues.
Bullet comments—
[Xiao Ning's analysis... is so spot on, absolutely spot on!]
[Looks like a pro, this game's in the bag!]
(Note: The audience is unaware that Yu Jianing is the serial killer.)
[So, what clue did Shen Fuyao get? From her description, it sounds pretty impressive? Could it be crucial information about the murderer?]
I'm pretty sure it's true, since saying it out loud would get me killed...
[Huh? So if I don't tell, I won't die?]
【？？？】
Are you exploiting a bug here?
...
Wen Jueqian and the others arrived at the fourth floor of the castle, near the room where Jiang Lianyin was imprisoned.
"Search each room one by one, don't separate, and let us know if there's any noise."
Search begins.
Xiao Wen was the first to arrive near the bookshelf, while Shen Fuyao went to the bedroom next door.
Just as fans guessed, the clue she obtained revealed the characteristics of a serial killer!
"I could be the next victim. The production team told me that this lead can only be passed on to people I trust..."
"Is the production team implying... that the relationship between the seven of us isn't actually harmonious?"
"Passed on to the wrong person... the clues could very well have been hidden after my death?"
Fuyao pondered silently, then suddenly found a journal in the cabinet. It looked a lot like a teacher's notebook.
Eight more transfer students have joined our class, and two of them are particularly troublesome, always trying to bully their classmates.
No, their behavior isn't just bullying! It's outright harassment! I need to talk to their parents!
"Eight transfer students? Bullying? Could she be talking about us?" Shen Fuyao continued to turn to the second page of the diary.
Their parents were fairly easygoing and said they would go back and properly educate their children.
I think they really need to be disciplined. Who would have thought that these two lively and cheerful children could be so disgusting!
That's a live rat! How could you stuff it into someone else's clothes?!
Upon seeing this, Shen Fuyao was stunned!
Because there was this passage in her script—
A seemingly cheerful and enthusiastic girl who is actually gloomy and cruel... secretly loves mice!
"I am a member of the bullies!"
"What's wrong, Fuyao? Did you find anything?" An Wanhe asked as she walked in.
"I found a journal, and I feel that we might be classmates."
Shen Fuyao handed the items to her without saying anything else.
She finally understood why the production team had said to pass the clues to someone you trust!
If nothing unexpected happens, I and another girl must have bullied everyone!
This could very well be a hidden adversarial relationship!
The others heard the noise and rushed over, but the diary only had two entries; the rest had been torn out.
Wen Jueqian looked at the contents of the document thoughtfully.
“Two of us were bullies… let’s say they bullied the pianist’s child…”
"Does that mean we've all hurt her?"
"That's why we were arrested?"
Everyone listened to Wen Jueqian's speculation in silence, after all, there were too few clues at the moment.
At the very least, we need to find one more clue that has harmed the pianist's child before we can make a conclusion!
"Let's keep looking for clues, everyone. It'll be time to meet up soon, and we haven't found enough."
"Um…"
·
Yu Jianing's team chose to search the area near Song Xitong's room.
Because her clues were so bizarre? So full of philosophical undertones? It's hard not to overthink it!
The young heiress was searching through her workbench when she suddenly noticed that the thickness of a book seemed a bit off.
It's like there's something hidden inside.
As she picked up that book, a note fell out of it.
It has three strange little arrows and a string of numbers drawn on it.
【】
Xi Tong's pupils constricted slightly when she saw the contents of the note, but she quickly returned to normal.
He glanced at Xiao Ning and Xiao Puti without making a sound, and seeing that they hadn't noticed him, he quietly hid the note...
Bullet comments—
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Is that rich girl hiding clues?! Something's not right with her!]
[Could Xiaotong be the serial killer?! Then why was she the first girl to be stabbed who kept quiet... Sigh! Suddenly I can understand!]
[Are you all devils?! If that rich girl is a murderer, then Xiao Ning and the others are in grave danger! After all, they'll be searching together for the next few days...]
...
"Come quick! I've made a new discovery!" Bai Puti exclaimed.
"What?" Xiao Ning, who was closer, was the first to walk over.
"It looks like a string of gibberish?"
Bodhi scratched his head and handed the note to Jia Ning.
"Scribbles?"
"let me see?"
Xi Tong took the note, glanced at it a few times, and said uncertainly, "Do you guys think... it looks like distorted letters?"
"Hmm?" The two looked at it again carefully, and after this reminder, it seemed to make sense.
"Xiao Ning, aren't you good at English? Can you translate this?"
Little Bodhi looked at her expectantly, but Yu Jianing told her ruthlessly that there wasn't a single word in it, it was pure random writing.
"I see..."
Seeing her somewhat disappointed expression, Xi Tong quickly comforted her, "There might be other corresponding clues in the room. Let's look around some more?"
Xiao Ning and Xiao Puti looked at her with strange expressions.
Tsk tsk...it's so incongruous.
We still prefer the Roaring Emperor version of the Little Rich Woman!
Song Xitong: "..."
Are you being polite?
The three continued searching the room.
Song Xitong glanced at the note again...
That's right, the clue she hid was the key to solving the mystery of this "scribbled symbol"!
But she couldn't let everyone know, because it was a hidden mission in her script!
"This is a special code you and your father agreed upon; no one else can understand it except you..."
(Note: If you find a strange clue with three small arrows in the game, please hide it secretly and use the special puzzle-solving method your father taught you to decipher the information on it!)
"The arrow points to the left, and the overall number increases by 3..."
"The numbers we got are... 11, 3, 12, 7, 4, 6, 9, 8, 5!"
"And what are the letters on the paper corresponding to these numbers—ZDBLZJQSS?"
"???"
Song Xitong stared blankly at the hidden clues she had deciphered:
"If you find a lightning rod, should you give it a try?"
"Huh? What are you testing? Are you testing whether lightning can strike you dead?"
Clearly, the production team didn't consider the thought processes of the Morning Star team when designing this.
The young heiress probably can't guess what it means!
