Although there was no definite evidence, Ruan Jiyan had already begun to suspect Zhang Jing, who was sitting with them at the time.
Normally this person likes to make a lot of noise and cries when encountering a little difficulty, but today he is like a mute.
The five of them just sat there in silence, not knowing what to do.
Ruan Jiyan decided not to bring it up yet. Logically speaking, she was still a rookie, and if she led too much, it would make people suspicious.
So she had to reduce her presence and not let people suspect her.
The atmosphere fell into dead silence, no one spoke, Ruan Jiyan placed his hands on his knees, tapping lightly with his index finger, one by one, patiently.
Finally, it was Yin An who spoke up, "Since there is no mission, let's look for clues ourselves. We can't be trapped to death in this dungeon."
After she finished speaking, she stood up. Ruan Jiyan raised her eyes slightly and watched several people stand up and start walking around on the second and first floors. Then she slowly stood up, looking timid and cautious.
Then he slowly followed Yin An, wandering around the werewolf castle with them, looking for clues in every corner.
Chen Xin, Li Mingyue and Zhang Jing were searching on the first floor, while Yin An and Ruan Jiyan went up to the second floor.
After going upstairs, Yin An had asked with several other companions in advance and obtained the right to enter other people's rooms, so he first opened Zhang Jing's room which was closest to the stairs.
When Ruan Jiyan saw him enter Zhang Jing's room, he did not follow his footsteps into Zhang Jing's room, but walked into the first room next to the stairs.
This is the room closest to the staircase, but it is the room of Yin Qing who has been dead for a long time, and Zhang Jing's room is behind her room, so she thought the werewolf killed people in order of the rooms and came to Ruan Jiyan to change rooms.
Ruan Jiyan grasped the door handle which was already covered with a thin layer of dust and gently opened the door.
The door creaked open, and what came into view was a floor full of dried dark red bloodstains that were a little gray. Everything was the same as when they left, but the only thing that had changed was that Yin Qing's body was gone.
But she didn't pay much attention to it, and just thought that her game character had logged off, so the data in the game copy disappeared.
[Here! I remember this place! The corpse was lying on the bed in such a horrible state before. When did it disappear?]
[Don’t make a fuss upstairs, maybe it’s some unimportant game data that disappeared when the player went offline. ]
[That’s right, no matter how abnormal this instance is, it’s just a novice instance, don’t be too nervous.]
As Ruan Jiyan's perspective got closer, the players in her live streaming room gradually shifted their attention, thinking that only the data had disappeared.
However, the longer Ruan Jiyan stayed in the room, the colder it felt.
It felt like she had opened the door and stuck her head out to look outside last night. It was eerie and scary, and she felt a little scared just thinking about it.
She rubbed her arms but did not walk out the door. She walked in around the large pool of blood and checked the bedside table, under the bed, and the blood-stained quilt. There was nothing there, even Yin Qing's personal belongings that had been placed there had disappeared without a trace.
Apart from the dried, blackened, dusty bloodstains, there was no sign that anyone had ever lived here.
Ruan Jiyan's scalp began to tingle, and he suddenly rushed over, squatted down, and started digging out the dried blood with his hands.
She originally thought that the blood could not be picked up, just like an illusion. She could still be thankful and think that this might be an illusion, to make other players think that this was a room where someone had died, in order to create a terrifying atmosphere and strange phenomena.
However, looking at the blood residue stuck in her fingernails, she was actually a little confused and couldn't tell what was real and what was an illusion.
She quickly stood up and walked out of the room.
In this room, she felt like she was suffocating. Fear and coldness continued to invade her body. Finally, she walked out in a slightly wolfish manner.
As she walked out, she did not forget to close the door gently, and then she wiped the remaining dust off the door handle.
Finally, I looked up and found a trace.
It was a scratch, three small ones, hardly noticeable.
Like a dog or cat's paw.
But... there are no cats or dogs in this game instance, that is, Wolf Claw!
This might be the mark left by the werewolf, and then he would kill people according to the mark!
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly walked to You Jie's room, put his head close to the door, and observed something carefully.
But no trace was seen on Yujie's door.
She frowned and fell into deep thought, but the system interrupted her thoughts.
[Host, could this be the trace of a werewolf stabbing someone? But Youjie was contaminated by the werewolf, so there is no trace.]
right!
Ruan Jiyan slapped his forehead hard, looking frustrated.
"My thoughts have taken a dead end and I can't turn around all of a sudden."
Yes, if what they thought before was correct, Youjie should have been contaminated by the werewolf when he was leaving the Soul Bridge and was touched by the water of the Nether River and fainted outside.
Ruan Jiyan remembered that when she went out with him to look for You Jie, there were traces of dragging, which were probably left by You Jie. And that was probably when the werewolf contaminated him.
Therefore, his death was not part of the werewolf's plan, so there would be no such mark.
The strange man from this morning suddenly came to her mind. Then she took two more steps and walked outside Zhang Jing's room, just in time to bump into Yin An who was coming out.
As soon as Yin An opened the door and came out, he saw Ruan Jiyan almost bumping into him. He was a little surprised and confused. He had never seen Ruan Jiyan show such an expression before. Finally, he asked her worriedly: "Are you okay? What happened?"
Ruan Jiyan stopped and made room for him, then shook his head, "It's nothing, I just have some doubts."
"Well, what are you confused about?" Yin An didn't understand what she was saying, so he could only ask her.
"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it." Ruan Jiyan didn't want to tell them so quickly and make them panic before they knew it.
Yin An looked at her worriedly. Since she said it was okay, he had no right to intervene. So he took a few more steps and went to Chen Xin's room.
After he walked away, Ruan Jiyan reached out and wiped the dust off Zhang Jing's door, then moved closer.
Although it is still daytime in the dungeon, light can only barely penetrate through a few rooms, and the corridor is still a little dim.
She took another closer look and found that there was no mark on Zhang Jing's room door, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The absence of that trace probably explains it.
Zhang Jing was not killed by the werewolf, and there is a high probability that she was not contaminated by the werewolf.
But her condition today... is really abnormal.
She wanted to go into Zhang Jing's room again, but was stopped by Yin An.
"There are four rooms left. Let's go into two rooms each and take a closer look to see if there is anything strange." Yin An rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Li Mingyue's room and his own room, and then said to Ruan Jiyan.
"Okay." Ruan Jiyan nodded to him and had to retreat through Zhang Jing's door.
She first walked into Li Mingyue's room, searched and observed, but there was nothing strange that might be left by the werewolf. She also looked at the door specifically to make sure there were no traces, and then walked to Yin An's room.
There was nothing in Yin An's room, and finally she walked out.
Yin An walked out of her room holding three daggers of different sizes, and looked at her with a shocked expression.
"How come there are... so many knives in your room?" Yin An's expression was not very good, but Ruan Ji Yan was very calm in contrast.
"Oh, for self-defense." She looked at the three daggers and said lightly.
[Holding a knife for self-defense? It is indeed a very simple self-defense method.]
[In the game, she relies on knives and self-defense skills, so she's fine, right? As long as the werewolves want to kill her, even if she has a golden shield, it will be useless?]
[Oh, don't set such high standards for a newbie. It's good enough that she can think of relying on herself. This is encouraging education.]
[What are you teaching? Why are you teaching me when I am risking my life?]
The barrage was so noisy that the two people standing face to face were completely oblivious to it.
"Do I need so many knives for self-defense?" Yin An held the three daggers tightly, lowered the tips of the knives and pointed them at the ground.
Ruan Jiyan knew that he was doubting her, but she didn't feel guilty at all because she really used it for self-defense.
"Do you need it? If you do, I'll give it to you." She was still very generous. Seeing that she looked calm, Yin An just smiled awkwardly and refused.
Then he put the things back into Ruan Jiyan's room and walked down the stairs with her one after the other.
The three people who were looking for clues on the first floor were already sitting on chairs with dejected faces. Yin An walked over and sat down, asking about the situation: "Did you find anything?"
"No, we found nothing." The three said in unison.
Some people turned this horror dungeon game into a suspense exploration game.
[Is it possible that they have opened up a new world, where horror games become detective games and players become detectives?]
[Hahahaha, the above post is a little funny, I really didn’t mean it.]
[Don’t say it, really don’t say it. I’m watching this live broadcast more seriously than I am listening to the professor’s lecture. I’m recording the screen and writing down the “knowledge points” now!]
A few people sat there for a long time, and no one spoke. There was really nothing to communicate, so they just said a few words casually and went upstairs.
Ruan Jiyan walked at the end, walking very slowly. She watched several people enter the room before she entered her own room.
Then she drew the curtains, shutting out the room from any light.
She took out the ghost hand that she had accidentally broken off from the system pocket, and then took out a gun from a hidden cabinet under the bed.
Her long hair fell on her shoulders, and she had no suitable cloth to wipe the gun, so she grabbed the veil at her ankles and wiped it.
A row of words appeared.
Then, the system voice sounded, [All game rewards have been distributed. The host can now recognize the rewards as the owner. After that, they can be used permanently and will not be stolen by others. ]
She picked up a dagger and cut a small cut on her finger. Drops of blood fell onto the ghost hand, the gun, and some other messy things.
Before the system could announce that it had successfully recognized its master, the sky suddenly darkened and fell into darkness. Apart from the candlelight in the room, there was really no sign of any light.
Then, a sharp scream was heard.
