Chapter 115 Rainy Night Hotel 6
When he was in college, Yu Xi had played a secret room with his classmates, but he never played it again after playing it once.
Yu Xi no longer remembers the identity he got in the secret room at that time, but he still remembers a single-line mission he had done.
When doing the single-line mission, Yu Xi was almost scared to tears by the butcher holding an electric saw. In the end, it was the NPC who played the butcher who softened his heart and took the initiative to pass the clue to Yu Xi.
The current scene is much more realistic than the simple environment of the secret room.
The transparent roller curtain is covered with splattered blood, and there is a tall black shadow on the other side of the curtain.
The electric saw in his hand is buzzing, and Yu Xi can even vaguely see the red marks on the gears.
With a strong smell of blood lingering around her nose, Yu Nan dared not move, and her legs seemed to be glued to the floor, unable to move even a step.
The shadow raised its head and stared at Yu Nan through the curtain.
[Run. ]
System 08 urged, emitting a slight sound of electric current from time to time.
As if the accelerator key was pressed, Yu Nan ran away, not even daring to take a closer look at what was lying on the bathroom floor through the curtain, and stepped on the concrete floor to return to the corridor.
Lightning flashed outside the window.
Yu Nan could see the shadow under her feet getting closer and closer, and the long shadow of the electric saw was projected on the wall.
The heavy rain covered the sound of footsteps and the electric saw behind her, but Yu Xi only felt that the man was following closely behind her, walking and stopping at intervals like playing with a cat.
Turning the corner of the corridor, Yu Xi finally saw the entrance from which she came.
He pushed open the painting and ran along the rooms on the fourth floor towards the staircase, his footsteps making a loud "thump thump thump" sound on the wooden floor.
...to wake them up.
Yu Xi ran to the second floor, but stopped in an instant.
Everyone came out.
Tan Lan, who was in the lead, held a candle, his expression unusually solemn.
The others looked at Yu Xi running down from the upstairs with different expressions.
"Where did you go?" Tan Lan asked, his expression slightly changed. "Why did you come down from the building?"
When he spoke, everyone else was staring at Yu Nuo. The second floor was silent for a moment.
Yu Nuo suddenly realized that there were only six people in the corridor.
...Six people?
With the help of the candlelight, Yu Nuo quickly scanned the five people in front of her, and then realized that Sun Mei was missing.
Following Yu Nuo's gaze, Tan Lan's expression did not change, but his tone gradually became heavy.
——"Sun Mei is missing."
Chi Rong and Wang Ge, who were in the same room with Sun Mei, stood at the door. Wang Ge said quickly, "We really don't know when she disappeared... She disappeared when you called her."
Tan Lan's eyes returned to Yu Yu.
"So why did you go out at night?" He asked again, "... Among all of us, except for Sun Mei who disappeared, you were the only one who was not in the room."
Yu Yu's forehead was still sweaty, and her cheeks were red because of the intense running. Listening to Tan Lan's questioning, she whispered, "... The fifth floor, there are people upstairs on the fifth floor."
Everyone's face changed slightly.
Where did the fifth floor come from?
Yu Zhen quickly told everyone about the secret passage he had discovered, and led the players all the way to the crime scene of that year. It was not until they walked into the corridor again that Yu Zhen suddenly remembered that he had not completed his personal mission.
- Not only did he not complete his personal mission, he even led other players through the secret passage.
Woo, why did he do something stupid again.
Yu Zhen followed the five players from a distance, hesitating and not daring to go to the other side of the transparent roller curtain.
So are there clues about his identity in the bathroom?
Yu Zhen tried desperately to think about how to explain it, but as he was thinking, another idea suddenly popped up.
If he was the "innkeeper" of that year, then who was the black shadow he just saw in the bathroom?
...Same rainy night with chainsaw in hand, same bathroom, no matter how you look at it, that shadow looks more like the murderer, right?
So who is the shadow?
NPC, or one of the players?
Yu Zhen stood at the entrance of the corridor, wondering, until Qin Lingqi came out of the bathroom, followed by other players with different expressions.
"We found Sun Mei," Qin Lingqi said, "she's dead."
In fact, Sun Mei was not just "dead", but her body was cut into several pieces and scattered in various corners of the bathroom.
The ground was covered with blood.
Because it was a script, the real Sun Mei should have been eliminated, and the body pieces left in the bathroom were simulated by the main system.
Yu Zhen shrank her neck, and her heart beat fast as she listened to Qin Lingqi's nonchalant description. Chi
Rong stared at the blood on his feet, not knowing what he was thinking. Brother Wang on the side could no longer hold back, "We suspected Sun Mei's identity yesterday, but she was killed today. So she is the positive party?"
Tan Lan frowned and pondered, "On the first night, a monster entered Sun Mei's room, but she denied it... So at that time we all suspected that she had something to do with the monster."
"The monster didn't appear tonight...but Sun Mei was killed."
Qin Lingqi said, "Don't you think the situation in the bathroom just now is exactly the same as the murder that happened here that year?"
After a pause, noticing Yu Wen's nervousness, Qin Lingqi slowed down his voice, "It's as if someone is deliberately recreating the course of the crime that year."
Brother Wang exclaimed, "So you mean...the person who killed Sun Mei is the innkeeper?"
"Or you can say..." Tan Lan narrowed his eyes, "the killer is the player holding the murderer card."
Yu Wen: ...
such a big black pot suddenly fell from the sky.
Chi Rong sighed, "Not necessarily. This dungeon can't be that simple no matter how you think about it. If the player who eliminated Sun Mei is really the murderer, then we just need to find this person... It's too simple."
Brother Wang suddenly turned his gaze towards Yu Xi.
"By the way," looking at Yu Xi's sweaty face, Brother Wang swallowed back his original questioning words and changed to a gentler tone, "...I'm not doubting you, but given the current situation, you have the best chance of contacting Sun Mei...Can you explain why you suddenly left the room and came to the fourth floor at night?"
Brother Wang asked hesitantly, "And you happened to find this corridor?"
As soon as the voice fell, several eyes turned to Yu Xi.
Yu Xi felt her scalp tingling and her mind went blank. She had no idea how to explain why she "happened" to be away from the room on the night when Sun Mei got into trouble, and "happened" to witness the process of Sun Mei being eliminated at this time.
"He's sleepwalking."
Brother Wang looked up in surprise and turned his gaze to Qin Lingqi, "What?"
"He's sleepwalking," Qin Lingqi spread his hands, as if he was just saying something casually, "I stayed with him for two nights, and Yu Nu sleepwalked on the first night. I was the one who pushed him back to the bed."
Brother Wang frowned and looked at Yu Nu, who looked confused, "Then why didn't he--"
"Have you ever seen a sleepwalker who knew he was sleepwalking?" Qin Lingqi seemed a little impatient, "A sleepwalker will never realize he is sleepwalking unless someone tells him."
"Besides, Yu Zhen's sleepwalking may just be a role requirement, just like tonight, using his ability to help us find the crime scene," Qin Lingqi spoke quickly, but his logic was very strict, "These may all be interferences given by the system, guiding us to make the wrong choice in the next vote."
This inference not only denied the possibility that Yu Zhen was the murderer, but even directly gave him a key character ability.
Even the players on the positive side doubted Yu Zhen's identity and are now a little unsure.
But only Yu Zhen himself knows that he has no problem with sleepwalking.
Not only does he not have a problem with sleepwalking, but there is no so-called sleepwalking character setting in this copy.
Wang Ge was stunned by Qin Lingqi's reasoning, and could only nod hesitantly, "...You do make sense."
Yu Xi didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and Qin Lingqi cleared up her doubts with just a few words.
...But why did Qin Lingqi do this?
Could he really be his teammate?
Yu Xi couldn't think of a reason for Qin Lingqi to help her if he was on the positive side, and she became more and more certain of this guess in her heart. She was originally frustrated because she couldn't complete her personal task, and her mood suddenly became positive again.
After staying here for two days, he finally found his teammate!
While thinking, Yu Xi secretly glanced at Qin Lingqi while the other players were discussing the situation in the bathroom.
It is indeed his teammate, Yu Zhen thought happily, and now he looks pleasing to the eye.
Yu Zhen was immersed in the joy of finding his teammate, but he did not realize that the "clue" that his personal mission was not destroyed had not been discovered by other players until now.
It was as if someone had secretly destroyed it on behalf of Yu Zhen.
On
the third night, in order to avoid accidents like the previous two nights, everyone unanimously decided to go out and explore Building B of the hotel together.
"You didn't go with us to check the body in the bathroom, so you don't know," Tan Lan explained to Yu Zhen in detail on the way what they had found so far, "Sun Mei is the crawling monster on the first night."
Yu Zhen was shocked.
"Surprised, right?" Tan Lan sighed, "We checked... her limbs. The joints were bent, and there were obvious scratches on the knees and elbows. The identity she got should be the person who crawled at night."
"Oh, by the way, the most crucial thing is the impact mark on one side of his arm. Qin Lingqi said that it was the mark left by hitting the bed leg in your room, right?"
Yu Nan remembered that the person who was lying under the bed on the first night finally fled in panic, and the bed did shake in the dark.
"Then why would she..."
"I'm still guessing," Tan Lan said, "It's not very accurate, but my personal inclination at the moment is that Sun Mei got the identity of the victim of the murder case that year, so she has to act like the victim and do similar things."
As he was talking, Brother Wang got his foot stuck in the small door because he was in a hurry to go upstairs, and he called Tan Lan's name anxiously.
Tan Lan had to interrupt the conversation with Yu Zhen and turned around to save Brother Wang.
Yu Zhen came to another room on the fifth floor of Building B alone.
Except for the room where the crime occurred that they had already searched, other rooms had not been checked yet.
During this inspection, Yu Nan was particularly concerned about the secret passages that might exist in the room. She almost lay on the ground and knocked on the floor one by one, and checked very carefully.
Until someone pushed open the door of the room and stood behind Yu Nan.
In panic, Yu Nan raised her head quickly, and her head accidentally hit the edge of the bed. Yu Nan gasped in pain, and raised her face with red eyes to look at people.
"Why are you scaring me?"
Seeing Yu Nan hit her head, Chi Rong's expression quickly tensed up for a moment, and then forced himself to calm down.
"You are very close to Tan Lingqi now."
Yu Nuo covered her head and got up from the ground, gasping softly and saying casually, "So what?"
Chi Rong seemed a little angry, "Don't tell me you already regard him as your teammate."
"Yu Nuo, I know you are the murderer, I am your teammate."
Yu Nuo pretended to be calm, "I am not the murderer." Chi Rong took
a deep breath, "Believe me, I am really your teammate. Besides me, based on the observations of these days, Shen Lin is most likely our teammate."
"Only Tan Lingqi is impossible."
