Chapter 28 The Magician's True Appearance



After Su Yi finished explaining, he pushed the small TV aside. He stopped looking at the comments and focused on the reasoning meeting.

"Stop, both of you, stop talking." Miss Peng said to the postman and the old pastor, "Look at the young master, he is sitting there calmly, allowing you to doubt him."

Mr. Bai was sitting in his seat in a white suit, smiling gently.

"Let's discuss the next report as soon as possible." Maid Lin glanced at the clock in the conference room. "It's already past ten o'clock."

In just over an hour, it will be midnight.

...Zero point has an extraordinary significance in the horror copy, and no one can predict what will happen.

The players present temporarily put aside Grace's death and pulled out the first two forensic autopsy reports: the death of Mr. Bai and the death of Player No. 13.

Su Yi checked his mailbox and studied the two documents carefully. He didn't notice that Bai Ye beside him propped up his cheek and looked at his small TV.

At first, Bai Ye was just bored and didn't want to reason, so he stole a glance at Yiyan Suyi's small TV. In fact, he knew what the comments would say without even looking.

It was nothing more than: [Wow, your boyfriend is a white god, woo woo lovers finally get married~], [Bless you! Stay together forever] and so on. He propped up his cheek and glanced at her nonchalantly...

He didn't look away immediately.

Su Yi's small TV is inexplicably filled with : [Hahahahahaha! ]

It's so noisy that it hurts my eyes.

Bai Ye frowned, and a lot of comments appeared on the screen that he couldn't understand at all:

[Hahahaha, I am so happy, Bai Shen is so miserable, he was wronged after all!]

[It’s so tragic but it’s so funny haha, love Bai Shen]

[I didn’t expect Bai Shen to be so innocent in this regard. He really is like a junior high school student who is in love for the first time. So pitiful. Sister-in-law, please take care of the third brother!]

...This audience is really weird. Are the couple going to make it official? Send your blessings now, why are you standing here? Hahahaha.

Bai Ye stopped watching and went back to his small TV.

This time, even his screen was filled with hahahaha, as if it was infected by a virus, saying something incomprehensible:

[No wonder Bai Shen’s acting is so good in this copy. He is playing the role of the third young master in his true colors, and he is obsessed with his old love.]

[The bride has already moved on to a brand new life, but he is still living in the memories of the past, so sad]

Bai Ye ignored it. He focused on brightening the screen and enlarging the words on the wallpaper:

[I am? His high school boyfriend]

[No, this is even funnier! Bai Shen doesn’t seem to know the situation yet. I’m going to switch sides to the Third Young Master. Come on, Sister-in-law, Wenxue!]

[White God! White God! Look at this——]

Suddenly, a screenshot flew out in the barrage. The viewer bought an expensive special effect with a picture. The picture hovered in the center of the small TV, covering the screen wallpaper of Bai Ye's original "boyfriend".

Bai Ye saw that this was a screenshot from Su Yi's small TV. There were two sentences clearly written on it. These two sentences were typed by Su Yi himself:

[We have already separated]

[He's just an ex-boyfriend.]

...ex-boyfriend.

Bai Ye's gaze stayed on these three words for a long time without saying anything.

In contrast to his silence, the comments were even more heated:

[I think, if it was really a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Su Su would definitely resist when the young master hugged her and sniffed her wildly. But he didn't, his face was still red, instead, when Bai Shen hugged him, he said several times: Put me down...]

[I think newcomers should like Da Shao Ye more. Da Shao Ye is an anonymous live broadcaster, and he looks mysterious, but he may be a great god, no worse than Bai Shen.]

[…Why do you always limit yourself to Bai Da Shao and Bai Shen? I am different. I bet on the magician to steal the tower hahaha~]

Bai Ye was silent. He glanced at the magician next to him. Now, this man and Young Master Bai were the only ones left in the audience. They were still wearing masks. He didn't know what his true face was that couldn't be seen by others.

Before the first concentrated reasoning, the magician sat at this round table and told him: I know Su Yi. We met when we were studying abroad.

The two of them got along with each other in the script-killing game with a mysterious familiarity. Su Yi was usually socially anxious and avoided strangers like snakes and scorpions, and dared not accept gifts from strangers. But to the magician, Su Yi was willing to let him hold his feet and let him help him put on his shoes.

As for the eldest young master, he looked even weirder. He was obviously a thirty-year-old man, but he and Su Yi had a kind of... weird tacit understanding. Su Yi also unconsciously relied on the eldest young master, and they would smile at each other from time to time.

In Bai Ye's knowledge, Su Yi had never met a man of this age. Of course, he didn't know what happened after graduating from high school. Maybe he met some professor while studying abroad. That was also possible...

Bai Ye felt a little anxious.

He wanted to take off the masks of these two stupid guys and take a good look at who they were.

"The two people sitting next to Mr. Bai at that time... I remember one was Grace, and the other was the magician."

When Bai Ye came to his senses, he heard these words. Several players turned their attention to him. Su Yi also looked over and looked at the magician next to him.

"The autopsy report said that Mr. Bai died of natural causes," said the old pastor.

"At that time, we all saw that Mr. Bai aged instantly and vomited his hair. This phenomenon is too unscientific and should be considered a supernatural phenomenon, which means that Mr. Bai was actually killed by a ghost."

The magician remained indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Su Yi frowned. This autopsy report also said that blue poison powder was found in Mr. Bai's stomach, and an analysis of the blue poison powder was attached:

After consumption, it will be digested in the stomach and enter the small intestine, where it becomes toxic and causes death. It is estimated that it will take at least 30 minutes for the poison to cause death.

Mr. Bai died not long after he had his meal, which means that the blue poison powder did not take effect, and Mr. Bai died of old age.

But Su Yi did not agree with the inference that the ghost killed Mr. Bai, because they also found red powder on Mr. Bai's pants at that time.

Although its purpose is not clear, Su Yi guessed that this might be something that can attract ghost attacks. People who are rubbed with rouge will be easily attacked by ghost energy and instantly age and die.

The murderer turned on the electric hair dryer at the time to pretend to be a ghost. He might have taken advantage of the chaos to put this rouge on Mr. Bai and use the ghost to kill people.

However, there is currently no evidence to support this inference, and we need to find the specific usage of red powder. As a newcomer, Su Yi does not want to stand out in the centralized reasoning meeting.

And other players will definitely think of such a simple inference.

Sure enough, Planner Peng said after a while: "I don't think ghosts will kill people. I think it... is like a knife, a mere tool. It won't come to kill Mr. Bai on its own. I think someone is using it to kill people."

Ms. Lin also agreed: "Didn't we find the red powder at that time? Maybe the red powder is the evidence pointing to the murderer."

……wrong.

Su Yi denied this hypothesis in his heart. If the red powder was evidence pointing to the murderer, why didn't the murderer wipe it off?

There are only two possibilities. Either the murderer was in too much of a hurry and really didn't have time to wipe it, so he was in a panic and had to leave a flaw there.

Su Yi thought, if he were the murderer, he would never do this. If it was really too late, then he would abandon this plan and switch to a safer method of killing someone with a knife.

They are probably facing a super killer this time. Would such a killer leave such a big flaw in a hurry? Su Yi thinks it is unlikely.

Then, there is only the second possibility: the murderer left the red powder intentionally.

Because the red powder may point to a wrongly accused player, the murderer hopes to set up a target of potential suspects and stimulate their suspicion of each other.

And Su also knew that the murderer had once tried his best to wipe off another kind of powder.

No one else has found this powder, only I have this fragment of truth:

Before the death of player No. 13, yellow powder was stained on his suit pants.

When the murder was committed, Su Yi hid in the cat's eye and observed this precious detail. However, when everyone observed the body together in the round table hall, the yellow powder was gone.

This can prove that the murderer deliberately turned back to wipe off the yellow powder on the body.

...The murderer took it so seriously, which can only mean one thing: this fan might expose his identity.

Therefore, only those who are related to yellow fans could be the murderer.

The seemingly important red and blue fans are actually smokescreen information. Don't spend too much time worrying about it.

Su Yi came to this conclusion silently, and he couldn't tell anyone. If the murderer knew that he wanted to investigate pornography, it would be very disadvantageous to him.

Several players present were still discussing the red and blue fans of Mr. Bai's death. Maid Lin said:

"No matter if the ghosts kill people or not, in short, Mr. Bai was killed by the blue poison powder. Whoever released the blue poison powder can come forward to testify? Save some time."

The scene was quiet and no one spoke.

"Hey, why are you so silent? If you're not the murderer, what are you afraid of? Just speak boldly." Although maid Lin said this, she looked at the magician with suspicion.

"Oh."

The magician felt several pairs of focused gazes and laughed sarcastically: "Why, you all doubt me?"

"It's not that I doubt you. If I have the chance, I would vote for you directly." Maid Lin said:

"Lawyer Chen died? It's too unfair. He has 1,000 gold coins. He can redeem himself easily after he dies. He can choose someone blindly before he dies. If he is wrong, he will also spend 1,000 gold coins. He can also help us eliminate one person. What if it's my turn to die next time...

"I'll vote for you first and then die, to help everyone make a trial and error. Your origin is really weird. You've been wearing a mask and haven't explained it. You're also the bride's emotional ex-boyfriend. Who would invite an ex-boyfriend to a normal wedding? How did you get the wedding invitation?"

The old pastor: "I have always felt that you, the magician, are hiding a lot of secrets. And I want to confirm with Baishen again, after the power outage at the wedding, the murderer began to move Grace. Are you sure that the magician next to you was there the whole time?"

Bai Ye propped up his chin and was about to nod...

He has fought on the battlefield for many years and is very sensitive to changes in the aura of people around him. He can sense it even in the dark. It is impossible for him to be like the postman Fang, who did not notice that the living people around him had turned into puppets and could continue chatting as long as he made Grace's voice.

He was suspicious of the magician, so he immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it on the magician after the power went out. He observed carefully. The magician had no chance to perform any tricks, and he did not leave the whole time. However...

Bai Ye wanted to know the true identity of the magician, and now was a good time. He said:

"Anyway, after the power outage, there was indeed a person wearing a clown mask next to me."

...This sentence sounds like it is saying that the magician is always there, but the subtext is to accuse the magician, saying that he is unrecognizable when he puts on the mask, and anyone can pretend to be a magician.

The magical thing is that this sentence is the real truth. There is no lie at all, but it easily achieves the effect of speaking the opposite way.

"Yeah. This magician has been wearing a mask the whole time..." Postman Fang muttered to himself, "Even if he was replaced in the middle, who would have noticed it..."

Bai Ye held his chin in his hand, watching the development of the situation, and suddenly said:

"Why don't you take off your mask and show it to everyone?"

The scene was silent for a second.

Everyone secretly supported Baishen, because the magician was mysterious and unpredictable, and he didn't reveal his level. They were afraid that he was another great god, so they didn't dare to ask him to take off his mask! Now, finally, Baishen, the highest level, came forward.

Bai Ye stared at the magician with a sense of confrontation.

Su Yi tilted his head and looked at the magician across the night sky. He was a little curious about what this person looked like...

"Okay."

A frivolous voice sounded, echoing in the extremely quiet and serious round table hall, revealing a bit of cynicism.

The magician turned his face slightly, across the white night, and turned his face towards Su Yi, and raised his slender hand...

The man wrapped in a black leather holster held the mask on his face with his five fingers, twisted it with force, and took it off.

First, his forehead was exposed, with a few strands of hair pressed down by the mask. Then, he showed a pair of eyes as dark as night, with a high nose bone, handsome face, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. He said softly to Su Yi:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Su Yi was completely stunned. Apart from the nonchalant attitude typical of a magician, such a handsome voice made him feel inexplicably familiar.

He stared at this face, his fingertips under the white lace gloves clenched together nervously. What...what on earth is going on?

Bai Ye beside Su Yi was also shocked and had nothing to say:

The magician showed this face...

It’s exactly the same as me!
