At the end of the dim corridor, a tiny fire was lit.
The eldest son of the Bai family was sitting in a wheelchair, waiting. He quietly lit a cigarette, and the curling smoke rose, blurring his facial features.
When Su Yi was carried by Bai Ye, what he saw was the lonely look of the young master.
Feeling inexplicably guilty, he patted Bai Ye gently and said, "Put me down."
Bai Ye frowned slightly, looking somewhat reluctant. Since he started hugging Su Yi, Su Yi had tried to put him down several times.
But when he saw the disabled young master, he ran over with joy.
Bai Ye stared at the old man in the wheelchair, feeling unhappy. His intuition told him that this man was not simply role-playing, and the way he looked at Su Yi was very meaningful.
From the time he entered the dungeon until now, the old man has only revealed his level: 97, which is considered high, but the TV was not turned on throughout the whole process, so it is impossible to get who he is from the audience.
He also wears a platinum mask on his face, and is said to be a young master. Character setting: He had a car accident when he was a child, and has a scar on his face that needs to be covered. With this mask, even if there are players who know him present, they cannot recognize him.
"Coming?"
The eldest young master's gentle voice sounded, and he turned his head, and what he saw was the picture of his third brother holding his bride. The eldest young master said nothing, and moved his fingers slightly, gently extinguishing the cigarette.
A small movement made Su Yi's face blush. Before Bai Ye's arm was completely lowered, he jumped down and stood up.
After all, he and Bai Ye are uncle and sister-in-law in the script-killing story, so they have to avoid suspicion.
"Come on, let's go together."
The eldest young master didn't say anything sarcastic or sour. He gently waved to Su Yi and asked him to come to his side.
He looked as if it was a matter of course, as if if he said so, Su Yi would definitely go over.
Bai Ye was furious when he heard this. Who the hell is this guy? He just played the role of a fake bride and groom in a script killing game, but he really thought he was someone to Su Yi.
Su Yi didn't think too much in his heart. He took a step towards the young master...
"etc."
Su Yi:?
Bai Ye gently pulled the bride's wedding dress, and they both recognized each other. In this high-risk script-killing scenario, it is obviously his high school boyfriend in real life who is more trustworthy than the role-playing "husband" Young Master.
Moreover, this old man looks like he is almost thirty years old, and Su Yi is only nineteen years old. He is not even ashamed to tease a boy who is a generation younger than him!
"Be careful of old men like this?" Bai Ye whispered.
Su Yi wanted to laugh in his heart but didn't say anything. The young master looked to be only about 28 or 29 years old, far from being old.
But he didn't want to refute. If he did, Bai Shen would definitely be angry with him given his arrogant nature.
Su Yi just nodded slightly to show his agreement, and continued to walk towards the young master.
He hasn't figured out what's going on with his and Bai Ye's memories. In addition, as they are uncle and sister-in-law, he always feels that the atmosphere is a bit weird when he's with Young Master Bai.
The ring that the eldest master gave him contained a life-saving system, which saved his life. Compared to Bai Shen, who focused on killing ghosts every day, Young Master Bai obviously knew more about this [horror script-killing game].
"Life-saving system?" Su Yi called it in his heart.
"I'm here, what's up?"
"Master, do you have the same life-saving system as me?" Su Yi asked.
Mr. Bai could give him this system, so he might also know how to resist [Thriller Script Killing]. Su Yi wanted to find out, so that he could help Bai Ye and others leave here in the future.
But the content of their discussion was a serious violation. If the young master did not have a life-saving system, he would be immediately discovered by the light screen system and executed.
Life-saving system: "He doesn't have it. Only you can have it."
Su Yi: “…Why?”
The life-saving system was silent for a while: "You will know it later."
As Su Yi walked towards the young master, he was thinking in his heart. He had asked the life-saving system before how to know that there was a pit in the secret passage, so that he would not be discovered by the ghost if he hid in it? The life-saving system also answered him in the same way: You will know it in the future.
…The existence of the life-saving system is to help him. There is no reason why they don’t tell him the inside story and deliberately keep it mysterious so that he can guess. The only reason they answered him like this is…
"Is it you who can't tell me?" Su Yi asked.
He thought about it for a moment and understood a little:
"Is the reason why I can think freely and not be monitored by the light screen because you are being monitored instead of me?
"Your protection mechanism is not like what you said, it can infect the light screen like a virus, but it is like a... protective wall, or a protective layer, guarding the outside. If you tell me the matter directly, you will be eliminated by the light screen, and I will be monitored again, right?"
“…”
After the life-saving system went silent, it laughed. It was clearly a mechanical sound without any wit, but Su Yi could hear a sigh like a human, as if it was somewhat helpless:
"You're still as smart as ever."
……before?
Su Yi was a little anxious: "Did you know me before?"
"Don't ask. Go quickly, the young master is waiting for you."
The life-saving system refused to answer him. It made a whooshing sound and emitted a robot?sleeping? voice:
"I'm going to sleep now. I'll call you next time if there's any danger. Good night, honey~"
Su Yi: "..."
It's embarrassing enough to see people calling each other "wife" in the comments, and now even his system is calling him that. Su Yi feels embarrassed when a strange mechanical voice calls him such an overly intimate name in his ears.
There was a lamp hanging on the armrest of the wheelchair. Young Master Bai watched Su Yi walking towards him. During these quiet steps, his beautiful bride was teased by someone again, and a blush appeared on her fair face.
The closer you get, the redder it becomes. Under the warm and soft light, it looks like a thin-skinned persimmon, which will ooze out juice if you poke it, so tender and fresh.
The eldest young master had originally decided to let the poor bride go and not ask why he let the third young master carry her like a princess all the way, but when he saw Su Yi's cute blushing face, he couldn't help but want to tease him:
"Does he hold you comfortably?"
……What?
Su Yi paused, feeling a little uneasy. The young master's voice was very low, completely different from his gentle tone just now. It was so low that only Su Yi could hear it. In the dimly lit corridor, it sounded like a ghost's whisper.
He remembered the character setting of the eldest young master: due to his physical disability, his temperament was slightly abnormal.
Put yourself in his shoes. If you see your wife being hugged like that by another man in front of you, even a non-perverted man would become a pervert.
Su Yi was a little scared for a moment, and called for the life-saving system in his heart, wanting it to help him see if the young master's perversion index had increased?
The life-saving system seemed to be dead and was sleeping soundly.
Su Yi had already walked to the eldest young master's wheelchair. He could only explain in a low voice: "...Nothing? Nothing?, the third young master just caught me."
"Oh? Really nothing?" The young master leaned over and spoke only to Su Yi, his tone sour:
"He's here, so he definitely won't let you get hurt."
Just as Su Yi was about to answer, the young master took his hand and turned him around...
The wedding dress turned around, and there were several light red marks on the snow-white and tender naked back:
...It feels like something scratched my skin!
"How did it happen? So many wounds?" Young Master Bai frowned and raised his voice deliberately so that Bai Shen could hear it:
"No one? To help you bandage it?"
Bai Ye, who was behind, raised his head immediately after hearing this, like a vigilant dog. When he heard that Su Yi was injured, he quickly looked over.
Su Yi: "It's just a little scratch, it's okay."
He was scratched by the monster when it dragged him in the secret passage. It was a bit painful at first, but now it is gone. Compared with the pain he had experienced in hospital since childhood, this little scratch was nothing.
Young Master Bai glanced at Young Master Bai silently without saying anything. He considerately took out a Band-Aid from his gaming backpack and patiently put it on Su Yi.
Bai Ye, who was standing at the back, suddenly felt guilty. He was too excited when he hugged Su Yi. He wanted him to recognize him and stop treating him as a stranger. He couldn't stand it.
As a result, he didn't even notice that Su Yi had a wound on his back...
Bai Ye also took out a band-aid from his backpack and wanted to help, but in just a few seconds, Young Master Bai had already skillfully treated Su Yi's wound.
...There is no place for him.
"Young people, ah, are impatient." Bai Da Shao looked mature and steady, and said to Bai San Shao:
"Third brother, next time you see your sister-in-law injured, remember to bandage her immediately. If you leave her like this, others will think that our Bai family abused the bride."
"..." Bai Ye clenched the band-aid in his hand and couldn't say anything.
He didn't ignore it on purpose, he just didn't notice it.
——Such an obvious wound, but he didn't notice it. This kind of explanation is not very good...
Bai Ye lowered his head and silently put the extra band-aids back into his backpack. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Yi turned around and took a look. He felt that Bai Shen looked like a fierce dog that had done something wrong and hung its head. He looked a little cute. He said:
"It was too dark at the time, he probably didn't see it. I'm fine."
Su Yi changed the topic at the right time and asked the young master:
"What happened after I was captured?"
Young Master Bai replied, "Everyone was in a mess at first. Third brother rushed out to look for you. Lawyer Chen and the others jumped into the secret passage to look for you. The magician and the old pastor went outside to check if there was any trace of you..."
Su Yi felt that there was something wrong with what the young master said. These people were all looking for him, but the young master, as her husband, did not move at all?
"What about you? Didn't you come to see me?" Su Yi asked casually.
He asked this question for no other reason, but out of logical thinking, he wanted to confirm the timeline of the young master in time. Because according to the plot setting, the groom, the young master, is the one who should come to find him. If the young master didn't come to find him, what did he do during this free time?
After saying this, Young Master Bai paused. From this pause, Su Yi suddenly realized that this sentence... seemed a bit coquettish, like a wife complaining about her husband.
Su Yi suddenly felt embarrassed, he didn't mean that.
Once the words are spoken, the water is spilled, and it cannot be taken back. The young master chuckled, leaned against Su Yi and said:
"I came too early. Didn't I disturb your and his good relationship?"
…!!
Because he was sitting in a wheelchair, the young master's head was right on Su Yi's chest and abdomen, and his breath gently disturbed the lace of her wedding dress.
Su Yi felt that hot breath and remembered being pressed down by the young master to smell it in the cloakroom before...
"I...already said, there is nothing between me and the Third Young Master."
He unconsciously took a half step back, but was grabbed by the wrist by the young master:
"Little liar, you're still lying? If it's true, why is my comment so green?"
Young Master Bai pushed his small TV in front of Su Yi.
A large area of green popped up in front of him! Su Yi was startled. It was as if a primeval forest had grown on the dark screen, with tender green, yellow green, grass green, olive green, and various green bullet screens flying past in unison:
[Poor Mr. Bai, put on your hat!]
[Hahahaha, love is a green light. Of course I choose to forgive him.]
[If you keep sitting in your wheelchair and waiting to die, your wife will run away with your brother!]
Su Yi: "..."
He was held by Baishen all the way and had no time to pay attention to the small TV. I guess the comments in his live broadcast room are... not optimistic.
Bai Ye's TV station was completely silent, leaving the audience quiet. The troublemaker was unwilling to accept this, so he came to Bai Dashao again and described to him in detail the "affair" between his bride and the third young master:
[At that time, they were hugging each other and talking very close, just like a couple whispering in each other's ears! We could only vaguely hear something about the King's Game and "You don't want me anymore". It was so corny that we thought Bai Shen was possessed by a ghost! The two of them were just hugging each other in the darkness, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of a French kiss. Master Bai! Can you bear it?]
[Big brother, you just got married, and your brother is treating your wife like this and that, even giving her a princess hug right under your nose, and you still keep silent about it. Are you a man? Ah!]
[No matter if he is your boyfriend or a high school classmate, you have to follow the script when you come to the script-killing game. Now the new person is your bride, and you can't let Bai Shen take advantage of you! Bai Shen will inherit all the Bai family's property, and your wife will also be inherited by him? If you can tolerate this, you are a coward! ]
The comments were filled with rows of green comments: #大少不為#, #废貨#, #戴帽紧修#... and some viewers were even more perverted:
[Everyone, don't worry, let me sort it out. Now, Baishen and the newcomer are in a suspected boyfriend relationship? The bride played by the newcomer is in a husband-and-wife relationship with the eldest young master in the script. So, when the newcomer is with the eldest young master, Baishen is cheated on. When the newcomer is with the third young master, he is cheating on the eldest young master. Ah, this time, this time, the NTR warrior wins! The Minotaur is so happy! ]
Su Yi's ears were hot and his face was red. He was so ashamed. He didn't expect these viewers to be so rude to the 97th-level young master. The few viewers who didn't leave green comments had just come in and were still confused and shocked:
[? ? What the hell? What are you all talking about, how did the young master get cheated? Is it... Bai Shen? The one I know? The one who kills ghosts every day? What did he do with this new guy? The kid just clicked in... Is there? Is there? The class representative will summarize it]
[Go to the newcomer's TV to watch the replay yourself, don't ask for help every day to give you a summary!]
Su Yi no longer dared to watch his own small TV. He didn't want to face such horrible barrage of comments yet.
"Have you seen enough?" the young master said in a low voice.
Su Yi didn't dare to say anything. He silently pushed the small TV in front of him back to the young master. At that moment, he glanced at the upper right corner of the screen, wanting to take a peek at the young master's ID.
But it only shows a few words in gray:
Anonymous live broadcast (privilege above level 80)
Su Yi frowned slightly. The identity of the young master was really mysterious. Several comments were also alert:
[Please don’t curse too harshly, this guy? He’s level 97 but he’s live streaming anonymously!]
[That is to say, who knows who the great god is. It’s fine to curse the newbies on their TV, but you’d better not offend the great god or you’ll be retaliated against!]
[Newcomer? If you become a god, won’t you be retaliated against? Just be safe and don’t curse.]
[Funny! How many newcomers can make one become a god? In recent years, only Bai Shen has become fast, but it took almost three years...]
Unable to find the young master's ID, Su Yi stopped paying attention to the screen. He wanted to vaguely reveal the matter of the life-saving system to the young master.
When Su Yi pushed the small TV back, he deliberately touched the back of the young master's hand which was resting on the armrest of the wheelchair.
He quickly bent his ring finger and secretly touched the young master with his wedding ring, hinting to him that the life-saving system had been received, thank you.
The life-saving system said that the young master did not have a similar system. If the communication was open, it might cause the young master to be punished by the light screen. Su Yi could only hint it carefully in this way.
Young Master Bai was stunned for half a second, then smiled knowingly. The jealous thoughts in his heart were wiped out by Su Yi's gentle touch:
"Let's go together to the round table meeting room."
Su Yi just wanted to ask the young master about the plot developments, so he pushed the young master's wheelchair and walked forward.
Bai Ye watched them from behind, smiling at each other, as if they were hiding some secret from him. He stared at Su Yi's receding back, waiting unwillingly for a while, deliberately keeping a distance from them before catching up.
The magician walked quietly at the end, and under the clown mask, he was observing secretly with great interest.
The wheelchair moved across the ground quietly.
"Don't you want to ask me anything?" Su Yi said.
Generally speaking, if a player is suddenly captured, the young master should come and ask about the situation for plot exploration. But from just now until now, the young master has not asked a single question about his situation.
As if... already knew what was going to happen.
Young Master Bai smiled mysteriously, but did not answer. He said, "It's not important. Ask first."
Su Yi: "Did something happen over there? Why did you suddenly convene a second centralized reasoning session? The magician said that the autopsy report had many problems?"
This copy lasts 72 hours, and there are three concentrated reasonings arranged in total. Now, only more than eight hours have passed, and only one-ninth of the time has been used to start the second reasoning in advance. This is very abnormal.
"A lot of things did happen." This time, Mr. Bai said truthfully:
"After you were arrested, my third brother was the first to rush out to look for you. I was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, so I stayed with Postman Fang and continued to search the wedding venue for new evidence.
"Lawyer Chen, Planner Peng, and Maid Lin followed the secret passage you fell into to see where it led. The magician and the old pastor went to the corridor outside the venue to check the situation. During this time, another person died."
Su Yi: "...Who?"
"It doesn't matter who died. I'll explain it in detail later when we concentrate on reasoning. What's important is that only eight hours have passed. Can you count how many people have died?"
Su Yi was silent. Apart from Liu Gege who was executed by the system's electric chair, four other people had been stabbed so far:
The one who was shot by Mr. Bai at the beginning? Player No. 13, Mr. Bai, Grace, and the player who just died.
He remembered that the rules of the dungeon stated that this game had 12 ordinary players, 1 murderer, and 1 ghost. Now, only eight hours had passed, and 4 of the 12 ordinary players had died.
The murderer only spent one ninth of the copy time limit to kill one third of them. If this continues...
Bai Da Shao: "It's hard to say in this game, it's a game where no one will survive."
No one? Survivors...
Su Yi has read this book, a famous mystery work by Agatha Christie. Ten people are invited to a villa on an isolated island. The ancient nursery rhyme predicts everyone's misfortune. They die one after another as if cursed by the nursery rhyme. The remaining people suspect each other and want to find the hidden murderer...
In the end, no one survived.
Su Yi thought of the rules of this game. Only if no player made a correct deduction within 72 hours, the murderer would be considered the winner. As long as one player guessed correctly, the murderer would be considered a failure.
To the murderer, the player is the target and the ghost is an uncertain factor. It is a one-on-thirteen situation. Drawing the murderer card is basically like a big gamble. If you win, you will get X13 times the gold coins. If you lose, you will die and spend 1,000 more gold coins to ask the system to redeem you.
If the murderer wants to ensure his victory, he can either cleverly frame a player and make other ordinary players think he is the murderer, or he can take more foolproof measures:
Kill all players in the shortest possible time.
And make them suspicious of each other and fall into panic. If the player does not have enough gold coins to redeem himself, and is not sure who the murderer is, he will not confirm the murderer with the system in the early stage of the copy, and will psychologically delay choosing the murderer until the time limit is about to end.
However, before that time comes, they may be killed by the murderer.
So this time the old pastor proposed to conduct a second concentrated reasoning in advance, because if anyone else died, there would be no one left.
Su Yi: "But the rules at the time said that the murderer's target might be more than one person. So, the murderer should only be able to kill the target person or object, right?"
If the murderer could always kill people indiscriminately, then there would be no need for the system rules to mention this.
"Indeed. The murderer can only kill certain characters." Young Master Bai said, "The difficulty of the rookie dungeon is relatively low. If the rules indicate that the murderer has more than one target, then he can only kill two. However, this is limited to murderers of average level...
"The truly powerful ones who draw the murderer card can turn non-target characters into target characters. In addition to the characters that should be killed according to the original plot setting, any player who obtains evidence of the murderer, sees the murderer committing the crime, or publicly questions who the murderer is, will be classified as a target by the system.
"In other words, the murderer can kill anyone who threatens his identity."
Su Yi: "What if a player gets the evidence, but he doesn't know whether it is the evidence that can determine the case, nor does he know who it points to? If the murderer knows that it was this player who got it, then he can kill him, right?"
Bai Da Shao: "Right?"
Su Yi figured it out. In this case, the murderer only needed to be powerful enough to manipulate everyone. He could deliberately let others get his evidence, but not let them realize who the evidence pointed to. He could deliberately make others suspect him, but then clear the suspicion. In the end, he could turn all these players into target characters and kill them all.
“So, even in the simplest novice copy, if you encounter a highly skilled person as the murderer, you can still end up with no one surviving and all ordinary players will be wiped out.” After Young Master Bai finished speaking, he glanced silently behind him.
A high-level player...
Su Yi got the hint, he turned around quietly and saw Bai Ye following behind him.
Among the players present, only Baishen is level 108, the highest level player.
He killed three people in a row, all under everyone's noses. The first player, No. 13, was in an abnormal state and was shot dead by the eldest young master. Mr. Bai vomited his hair while eating and died on the spot. Grace was hung on a high stained glass window at the wedding scene due to a power outage.
And after his bride was taken away, the murderer stabbed another person within a short period of time?
This series of murders was bizarre, horrific, and carried out in an exaggerated manner, but the planning was very rigorous. So far, there have been no major loopholes, and it is impossible to tell who did it.
Su Yi has collected some fragments and his exploration degree is higher than others, but he has not yet pieced together a definite truth. The murderer is definitely a meticulous and cunning madman.
After thinking about this, Su Yi remembered Bai Ye’s poor math grades in high school.
Once when he went to the library, Su Yi remembered that he had tried to help Bai Ye with his math homework. After teaching him twice, he gave up completely and deeply realized the hardships of math teachers.
Although math scores do not mean anything, they can reflect a person's logical thinking ability to a certain extent.
Su Yi and the young master shook their heads firmly: "It can't be him."
Young Master Bai was a little surprised: "…Why?"
There was a hint of smile in his voice, as if he was inexplicably happy, and he said jokingly:
"Do you trust him so much?"
Su Yi said calmly:
"He can't."
