Fang Chen recalled what happened before in his mind and said with difficulty: "The third one is..."
"Confrontational." Shi Yu's voice was hoarse, and he coughed a few times, his lips becoming paler and paler. "According to what Cheng Wuye and Lu Nan said before, the two helpers who died had their brains cracked and bleeding as if they were hit hard. Xu Zhukong has been in the funeral hall for the past two days and has been unable to be with him. Lu Nan also said that he saw Bai Lu killing his companions last night, so the two helpers should have been killed by Bai Lu, Guan Yueyue's real body."
Fang Chen didn't bother to think about why he knew the information Lu Nan shared with the five-member group, and followed his thoughts with difficulty: "It seems so?"
"Two dead people, two ghosts that can kill people, and ten players divided into 50-50 groups, with opposite action times and opposite positions. Do they look like generals on both sides of the Chu River?"
The ghost that appeared in the mourning hall before Fang Chen swallowed his saliva and said, "So, our camp is led by Xu Zhukong, and their leader is Guan Yueyue?"
Shi Yu said calmly: "You are the one who is helping you. Guan Yueyue is the ghost who needs your assistance."
Fang Chen was at a loss: "Didn't she never show up from the beginning to the end?"
Shi Yu: "I have never appeared in this house, so I have never tried to harm anyone in your camp."
Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized: the ghost who appeared in the mourning hall every night and tried to attack or even kill them was always Xu Zhukong. Obviously, Xu Zhukong did not belong to their camp but to the enemy camp, and accordingly, Guan Yueyue was the ghost on their side.
No wonder Xu Zhukong only came to the mourning hall at night but did not exist in the helpers' account, and the murderous deer described by Lu Nan had never appeared on their side.
"Guan Yueyue's killing method was obviously to attack the head, probably because she fell off a cliff before her death. So the two helpers had to die in the same way as her."
Fang Chen nodded in agreement, then realized the problem: "Two? Didn't she kill Sister Hu Qiu and the one who died on the first day?"
Shi Yu glanced at him and asked, "What do their bodies look like?"
"Their skin was scratched?" Fang Chen stared at him blankly for a few seconds, and finally reacted under the pressure, "Their heads weren't smashed, so it wasn't Guan Yueyue who did it! Who was it? Could it be Xu Zhukong?"
"Probably not."
Fang Chen was stunned.
"I really guessed this time." Shi Yu blinked very slowly, and sweat oozed from his palms under the hot temperature of his skin. "Maybe it was because it was raining at that time, and they didn't wear hats, so they were all wet."
Fang Chen caught the two key words "cone hat" at the end of the voice, and remembered that when they first arrived, they were startled by the movement in the coffin and ran out of the mourning hall. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "I didn't know I had to wear it at that time... If I hadn't seen Brother Cheng who went out in front of me wearing it..."
His voice paused.
At that time, they had just carried the coffin to this family's house. It was raining heavily outside, so they took off their rainproof clothes when they came in. Later, they were frightened by the noise Shi Yu made in the coffin and lost their way. Fang Chen followed Cheng Wuye subconsciously when he saw him take a bamboo hat when he went out. Thinking about it carefully, Hu Qiu was the only one who didn't take it...
He calmed down and said, "But why is rain a condition for death?"
The word "rain" is clearly not mentioned at all in the background story.
Shi Yu repeated: "This is a guess."
Enough of the guessing.
If there is no more reasonable condition for death, then it can only be because of it, and the reason is not so important.
Fang Chen couldn't find any logical errors in his words, and was about to say something when he heard the other party say, "If the two armies really fight against each other in that way, there will be a big problem in the game."
Fang Chen was stunned: "What?"
"The fighting power is unbalanced."
In one team, all four people are new players, and the only veteran player is killed at the beginning of the game; in the other team, there are four experienced veteran players. How should such a game be played?
Fang Chen's eyes were cleared of fog, and he was happy for less than half a minute before being poured with a basin of cold water. He thought about it and hesitated, "Could it be a random system?"
Shi Yu did not comment: "It may also be that he first suppresses in order to praise."
Fang Chen felt goosebumps when hearing the words "to promote, first suppress". "Boss, what should we do now?"
Shi Yu was silent for a moment: "How did you pass the test before?"
Fang Chen: "I passed it with my eyes closed."
“…”
Fang Chen suddenly realized something and quickly made amends: "In fact, the system doesn't give a specific method, but after a game is over, the system will agree to calculate each player's exploration progress and game completion. The former is equivalent to digging into the background, the deeper you dig, the more progress you make; the latter is more mysterious, some are to help ghosts realize their wishes, and some are to kill ghosts. In addition to these games with supernatural backgrounds, there are other types of dungeons that are said to have different clearance conditions. Of course, I haven't been there, so I can't give you any reference."
Shi Yu listened and said "hmm".
Fang Chen: "So what do we want now?"
Shi Yu pulled his hood down again to cover his eyes: "After you've listened, stay away from me."
Fang Chen stood up and leaned over the chair where he was sleeping without any dignity: "Boss!"
“…”
"elder brother?"
“…”
"division……"
Shi Yu endured the headache and opened his eyes. His voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear the original tone: "I've repaid you for the oatmeal. Is there anything else?"
……oatmeal?
Fang Chen finally understood why this man, who normally couldn't say a word, suddenly condescended to explain this to him, but this didn't stop him from continuing: "Boss, do you need a younger brother? The kind that wants to play games with you?"
Shi Yu was about to speak when Fang Chen interrupted her in time, "I played the game with my eyes closed before, and I will have to play with my eyes closed from now on."
“…”
"Don't ask me why I don't live on my own." Fang Chen said, "I know my own weight. I'm not smart enough and I can't fight. I don't have the ability and I don't want to take on porcelain work. You can say I'm selfish, but I just want to live."
“…”
"You might say the same as them that if you don't have the ability, then learn and find ways to become stronger, but in a place like this," Fang Chen looked around, "where would you find the time to learn? Games are meant to kill you, and I'm not smart. I don't think I can perform miracles under pressure. I can only seize the present moment."
“…”
"Boss, do you think ordinary people like us don't want to become stronger? How do you know that you can easily solve puzzles that we may never understand in our lifetime, and call the shots in the game? How envious are we when we are at the bottom watching?" Fang Chen hung his head, "But some things really can't be achieved by hard work, not to mention that in a place like this there is the god of death chasing behind, and hard work is the least valuable thing. I don't have the talent in this area, and I can't jump higher than you who are born smarter than others even if I hit my head."
“…”
Five seconds later.
Shi Yu: “Are you done?”
Fang Chen opened his mouth.
"What does it have to do with me whether you live or die?"
The air suddenly fell into silence.
After a while, Fang Chen said: "Brother..."
Shi Yu told him those things just to get rid of him. After all, it was true that he drank the other person's cup of cereal, and now he had to pay it back. They didn't owe each other anything, so they should be no different from strangers. There was no need to involve further follow-up.
I don't want to waste my energy on persuading an adult.
Shi Yu pinched the hand hanging in front of her eyes and pulled it away without any expression: "If you want something, you have to pay the price."
Fang Chen felt a tingling sensation on his spine from the warmth of his hands. He heard the other party continue, "The bank will also investigate your background before lending money to see if you have the ability to repay. If you can't repay, you are not eligible to borrow, because they believe in repaying what you borrow. What you want from me now is your life, and in return, you have to repay me with one."
"I want you to die, will you?"
Fang Chen froze.
"Not everyone is entitled to the sympathy of others, at least not you right now."
Shi Yu pulled down the brim of his hat: "Stay away from me."

[Hey, those who said that Master Meiren has no other purpose except wasting air? ]
[You're asking for trouble if you dare to come out at this time. If Shi Yu is considered a decoration, then what kind of a waste am I? ]
[Some people work hard and run around everywhere, but in the end they get nothing and have to survive a life-threatening situation. Some people stay at home every day and rely on others' words to pry open Newton's coffin. They are so impressed.]
[I suspect he has opened his third eye, otherwise why can't I see anything from my God's perspective? I'm afraid I'm mentally retarded. ]
[Sisters in front don't need to say that. Apart from those idiots who came down from the ninth heaven to brush up their scores, have there been any serious players who have taken the deduction route? They are just wasting time and starting group battles when the game boss appears. ]
【By the way, can someone explain what he meant by "first criticize and then praise"? I don't understand.】
[This is very simple. We have all heard of "there must be supplies before a big war" and "the calm before the storm". The combat power of this group of five people is obviously more than one level higher than that of the other group. In the past few days, there were few casualties. This means that they are likely to be in devastating danger in the future, and they can be wiped out if they are not careful. ]
[It's over. I'm starting to worry about Master Meiren now. He's the only new member in the team and he has a fever now. How are we going to play from now on?]
[I've really thought too much before. I think he won't die even if everyone else in this game dies.]

Thanks to Master Yu locking Xu Zhukong in a coffin the night before, this night was a rare peaceful night. The white deer that had killed several helpers before was not even seen. When he counted the bodies the next day, there was no one missing.
Fang Chen looked at the surprised faces of the two newcomers in the helper group, and felt more convinced about the story of the two armies' confrontation that he had heard yesterday.
Taoist Priest Lingshan walked into the mourning hall and said to everyone, "It's almost time. Prepare to carry the coffin and bury it."
