"Why do you believe her and not me? Even if I misunderstood the lunchbox girl, I can't predict what kind of lunchboxes she'll sell and then prevent you from buying them!"
Madison was now angry too, glaring at Lu Xiaoyao and grumbling, "We've known each other for quite a while now, is this how you see me?!"
"I...that's not what I meant..."
When questioned by Madison's angry demeanor, Lu Xiaoyao's previous momentum instantly weakened. Realizing that she hadn't been very friendly to him this round, she fell silent.
Lu Xiaoyao's silence did not mean that Madison would not speak. He then turned to Aiqisi and said, "Was it you who was stirring up trouble between Lu Xiaoyao, or rather, between everyone?"
From the very beginning, you tried to get close to Lu Xiaoyao and the others, using the excuse that you were all from the same school to build rapport, while excluding the three of us remaining.
Then, they intentionally or unintentionally stirred up rumors among the three of us, implying that the murderer was someone from our school.
Now that Wang Wenfei is gone, you're still unintentionally throwing mud at Mu Ning. What do you mean by that?
"I didn't mean anything by it; I was just stating the facts. What can I do if there's no evidence to prove it?"
Aisie frowned. She had to admit that Madison was right in some ways; she was indeed trying to band together.
But what Madison said next was much more serious.
"I don't mean to smear anyone, but everyone in this game is a suspect, and every little action of everyone could be full of hidden meanings. Isn't it right to make bold guesses and then carefully look for evidence to verify them?"
"Do you need evidence for this round? A vote from more than half the people is enough for Bashe to execute a player. You just need to make sure that the team that sticks together is more than the remaining people."
"Then all you have to do is deliberately mislead people to make them suspicious, and then vote them out during the final vote! Actually, you're one of the murderers, aren't you?"
Madison's mind was working incredibly fast at this moment!
Now everyone's gaze toward Aiqisi became even more strange. Apart from Mu Chen, who had always remained aloof, he went over everyone's words and actions in his mind again, observing the various reactions around him.
Suddenly, Mingmei saw Mu Chen's slightly upturned lips in the corner through Lu Xiaoyao's live stream.
Holy crap! Did I just see things?
Hey bro, I think I saw something too.
[Why did the big boss... he didn't say anything for a while, and then suddenly smiled?]
[Hiss! A bad feeling! Could the big boss be the murderer?]
[Are you kidding me? If the big boss is the murderer, why doesn't he try to save his accomplices?]
Are you stupid? Trying to rescue your accomplices will expose you!
Wait a minute, you guys judged the big boss to be the murderer just based on his smile? And you even assigned him a teammate who was already on the verge of being exposed?
...
The comments section was already filled with speculation and speculation about Mu Chen's reaction, but Mingmei was different. She believed that Mu Chen must have discovered who the murderer was.
"Let's get Bashe to vote."
Mu Chen suddenly spoke.
Just as a group of people were questioning Aiqisi's identity, Mu Chen suddenly spoke up: "Since you have doubts, then vote her out."
"How could you do this?!" Aiqisi roared. "You're so eager to vote me out, are you the murderer yourself?"
In her haste, Aiqisi turned her anger on Mu Chen. Before Mu Chen could speak, she questioned, "You said you came here to see me finish my boxed lunch and then left, and you haven't seen Wang Wenfei since. Who can prove that?"
"Who knows, you might have deliberately appeared in front of everyone, using the lunchboxes to gain their favor, and then killed Wang Wenfei in a moment when she lowered her guard!"
"Oh, your guess is actually quite plausible."
Mu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, swallowing back what he was about to say, and asked mockingly, "What about my accomplice? I was in the same room with Madison during the teacher's lunch break. I never went out, and I never laid a hand on the teacher."
Based on your deduction, the teacher's death was most likely the work of my accomplice. So, who are my remaining teammates?
No one expected that Mu Chen would steer the conversation back to noon, saying, "Lu Xiaoyao said earlier that she and Wang Wenfei shared a room and didn't have time to make a move. So if I were the murderer, my accomplice would definitely be you or Mu Ning, who were resting in a single room at noon, right?"
“Mu Chen can’t be the murderer.” Mu Ning was the first to step forward. If Mu Chen were implicated as the murderer, it would be easy to pin the blame on her for the other male murderer, which Mu Ning absolutely could not accept.
Therefore, regardless of whether Mu Chen is the murderer or not, Mu Ning must protect him for the time being.
After saying that, Mu Ning looked at Ai Qisi again and said, "Ai Qisi, stop trying to change the subject. You can't even count all the suspicious points about yourself. Instead of explaining yourself properly, you're dragging others down with you. This kind of behavior doesn't seem like that of a good person."
Since Mu Ning had fed the Bashe snake that afternoon, and Ai Qisi was speechless at the moment, Mu Ning simply summoned the Bashe snake and pointed it out to Ai Qisi.
Bashe looked at the people around him and asked, "Do you all think so too? If so, please raise your hand."
After he finished speaking, Julian, Mu Ning, Madison, and Lu Xiaoyao all raised their hands. Four out of the seven people raised their hands.
The next second they watched as the humanoid snake standing in front of them suddenly transformed into a large black snake and swallowed Aiqisi, who was still trying to open her mouth to explain, into its belly.
Although the scene wasn't bloody, and there wasn't any scene of people vomiting because they couldn't swallow their food, the imagery was still unsettling.
Immediately afterwards, the Bashe spit out a cloud of red blood mist as if it had burped, and spoke in a human voice: "I'm sorry, this person doesn't have the scent of evil spirits~"
What do you mean by that?
Madison realized the stupid question he'd asked as soon as he finished, and sure enough, he heard Bashe say, "You've mistaken me for someone else!"
After saying that, Bashe ignored the dumbfounded players present, wriggled its full body, and turned to leave.
It's just a heartless rice-cooking machine!
Bullet comments:
[...]
This is outrageous, everyone!
[So, if she's not the murderer, why does she have so much screen time? So many of her subtle actions are quite suggestive.]
[Help! There are still two murderers among the remaining six people?]
Why did it seem like there were only two in the previous section?
Huh? How many are left?
I don't know, I didn't pass the level, and I didn't survive to the end. Are there any veterans who survived to the end who can let me know?
There are only two.
Thank you~
You're welcome. After all, I was a murderer once too, and honestly, it felt incredibly satisfying!
