Su Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Ye to take advantage of the situation to ask for a thank-you gift.
The players around were showing each other the property certificate that Su Yi had found, as well as a copy of the ownership of Pa Island. They were discussing heatedly about Lin Xiu and the second young master's life experience on Pa Island, and had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
"What do you want?"
Su Yi spoke in a low voice. His voice was so soft and thin that only two people could hear it. It was like a kitten curled up in someone's arms. Only when you bent down could you hear its faint meow.
Bai Ye was aroused by Su Yi's voice and had evil thoughts, so he wanted to tease the kitten:
"I want you to give me everything I want."
…!
Su Yi is not stupid. He can tell that Bai Ye is teasing him. Hearing this makes his face turn red: "...Don't go too far."
It seems like Bai Ye has become a bad guy since he graduated from high school. Why does he keep saying such bullying words now?
"Okay. I was just kidding." Bai Ye was afraid that Su Yi would really get angry, so he stopped while he was ahead. "I don't want you to thank me. Just...
He lowered his voice to Su Yi, his tone somewhat unhappy, as if he was extremely reluctant to mention certain words: "When you go to bed at night, don't let that old man get into your bed!"
! !
"…what…bed?!"
Su Yi was frightened, and didn't understand why Bai Ye suddenly mentioned such a thing. What did his bed have to do with the young master?
"Don't you know?" Bai Ye was a little surprised. "According to the plot, the bride and groom are supposed to...stay together at night."
He didn't want to say the word "sleep", let alone the bridal chamber. Whenever he thought about it, he felt as if ants were crawling all over his body and he couldn't help wanting to draw his knife.
Su Yi was stunned, the soft bridal veil covered the upper half of his face, his dark and clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making him look extremely innocent.
Bai Ye suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why? He told Su Yi about this so suddenly. It must have scared him.
"Don't be afraid." Bai Ye hurriedly comforted him, "What if that old man dares to do something..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Su Yi chuckle and laughed softly:
"Don't worry, the young master is quite a gentleman and treats people very gently. He won't mess around with this kind of fake plot of a script-killing."
"..." Bai Ye was choked and choked, with sour breath coming out:
"You just...trust him so much?"
“Who should I trust?”
Young Master Bai seemed to have clairaudience. Amid the discussion of everyone's life experience on Pa Island, he could still accurately catch Su Yi's quiet conversation.
Bai Ye turned his head away angrily: "It's none of your business, just mind your own business."
"..." Su Yi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Just... just chatting casually, don't mind it. Did you find anything? Any information about Lin Xiu."
"No." Young Master Bai glanced over there and smiled, "Still? They're arguing."
Su Yi followed his gaze and saw Miss Lin and the magician surrounded. The old pastor was holding a copy of Lin Xiu's transfer of Paradis Island and shouting, "If it's not the murderer, stop hiding it! Tell us and let's think of a solution together. Four people have died!"
The usually silent postman Fang also grabbed the property certificate of Mr. Bai and Lin Xiu and joined in the appeal. Miss Peng stood with her arms folded, her suspicious eyes lingering between the maid Lin and the magician.
Su Yi heard Postman Fang yelling, "Lawyer Chen might have been killed by you two! At that time, the three of you entered the secret passage. Whatever excuse you make when you come back, it's still up to you!"
Peng, the planner, was also anxious when he saw that he was being dragged into this situation. He said, "Don't spit blood on me. Maid Lin and I have said before that we never helped the murderer. Only the murderer can lie. It is impossible for two people to give false testimony together!"
Postman Fang: "That's possible? He used some trick to deceive the other one!"
Planner Peng: "Then why don't you tell us what your method is? Don't blindly suspect others, okay? Take a look at Lawyer Chen's autopsy report! Does it agree with what we said? Isn't it?!"
Postman Fang: "You just said at the time: When you went down the secret passage, Lawyer Chen was walking in front, and you two were following behind, and suddenly you heard a rustling sound...
"Then several strands of hair came out from the front of the secret passage, and you two turned around and ran, hiding at the corner. You thought Lawyer Chen had also hidden, but after waiting for a long time, you didn't hear any movement from him.
"After those people left, you two came out to see that Lawyer Chen's neck was broken and he fell to the ground, dead."
Su Yi listened silently. He had studied the autopsy report in the round table conference room before. Lawyer Chen had indeed died of mechanical asphyxiation. There were several scars on his body from struggling, and there were some hair residues in his stomach.
The hair must have gotten into Lawyer Chen's mouth and nose, and stretched from his esophagus to his stomach. When Lawyer Chen was struggling, other hair got entangled around his neck and finally broke...
Su Yi shuddered at the thought of this kind of death. Even if he could redeem himself with 1,000 gold coins, he would not really die, but he still had to experience the struggle and pain before death. The corpse of Lawyer Chen that came later should have been just a virtual image projected by the system.
"So what are you doubting?" Miss Peng frowned. The postman was very unhappy. "Blame us for not saving Lawyer Chen? You think the murder in a thriller is a choir of the Virgin Mary."
"I don't blame you. We have no obligation to save people here." Postman Fang said, "But?, why is it that only Lawyer Chen got tangled in the hair?
"What was the situation at that time? Were you really unable to save people? Or did you push him and let him use you to cover his hair? Just now, the old priest asked Maid Lin to say that she had not concealed a single word from everyone from the beginning of the dungeon until now. She didn't dare to say this, so do you dare to say it?"
Miss Peng's face turned green with anger.
After all this talk, Postman Fang felt refreshed, and it seemed that he had not expected to be so energetic as to say so much.
He has always thought that high-level players are very powerful, so he never dared to interrupt others when they were speaking at the reasoning meeting, nor did he dare to express his own ideas. However, the death of Lawyer Chen completely shattered his cognition.
This murderer doesn't care about the level of the person he kills. High-level players will still be stabbed if they are not careful. It's better for a level 3 player like him to survive for a long time.
The originally sparse comments on Fang Youke's small TV gradually became more numerous:
[This new guy is quite aggressive, he actually confronted Sister Peng directly, quite interesting, I’m following him]
[By the way, wasn't this new guy so timid before? Why is he so aggressive now? Could he be the murderer? Give him two gold coins first and see how he performs next.]
Clank, clank - the crisp sound of gold coins falling to the ground rang in his ears, and Postman Fang felt a sense of security as if he was carrying the fruits of a good harvest. In the thriller script-killing game, in addition to following the plot seriously, learning to steal the show is also a way to survive.
Regardless of whether his suspicion is right or wrong, at least it has attracted the audience's attention. Just like Su Xinniang in the same group, whose exploration level is low, she has been hiding and embarrassed to show up until now, but she is very beautiful, and has already gained enough attention thanks to Baishen Boyfriend. She must have accumulated 1,000 gold coins just from the audience's tips.
Postman Fang stole a glance at Su Yi's small TV. The small screen, one inch in size, was floating behind the bow of her wedding dress. The distance was a bit far, so he couldn't see the specific words clearly. He only saw the barrage of comments that were several times thicker than himself floating past like clouds.
In contrast, the comments on my small TV seemed pitifully few, and the audience's discussion gradually deviated from the topic:
[A level 3 rookie can beat level 65 lawyer Chen? ? If this is true, there are so many monsters among the rookies this year? Ah...]
[Are there any new monsters below level 10 recently?]
[? The kid was shocked, is there anyone who hasn't eaten the fresh melon? ! Newcomer Su Xinniang in the same group, I really feel sorry for you if you haven't watched his little TV! ! Escape from death to collect slaves, cheat on the young master and the white god! Fishing and hanging! ]
Postman Fang felt a little unbalanced. As a fellow newcomer, Su Yi had already made it into the top 100 newcomers in her first dungeon, and was promoted three levels in a row, with a reward of 500 gold coins. Her boyfriend was also Baishen, so she didn't have to worry about her life at all.
It’s really great to be good-looking. You don’t have to do anything and you can win without doing anything.
He couldn't explain how he felt. On his small TV, the arrogant audience was discussing others unscrupulously:
[And this new guy has a really good mentality! After these few moves, he rushed back from the top 100 worst list to the top 30 of the top 100 newcomers. The comments on the TV were like a roller coaster! He didn't pay attention to anything and just focused on the plot. The time to collect slaves has long come, but he hasn't even taken a look until now. We are all so worried for him!]
[If it were any other player, the audience who stole their money would have become their slaves and would have been counting down on their fingers! How could they have the mood to check the plot? This new player, on the other hand, was just looking for Lin Xiu and Paradis Island's files. His mentality is really stable]
[Anyway, the slaves I have got can't run away, but the exploration points I missed may be gone. But everyone understands this kind of truth. If it were me, I would definitely not be interested in playing the plot. I will also hang out the group of slaves for public display, and kill a few disobedient ones to set an example. Let's see if there are any idiots who dare to scold me next time! ]
[Hahahaha, now that group of slaves are going crazy in the barrage, it's making me laugh to death. The more patient this new guy is, the more scared they are. I don't know how they will be abused. I'm just waiting to see what happens to them!]
...The rotten list? Slaves?!
No way? It can actually... climb up from the bad list?
Postman Fang was shocked. When he was at level 1, he also dreamed of being on the top 100 newcomers list, but he was also afraid that the audience would dislike him and put him on the bad list...
But the fact proved that he was worrying for nothing. Compared with being scolded, the most terrifying thing is that no one cares about you.
How could Su Xinren gain attention just because of his face from the beginning, be criticized by the audience and put on the bad list, and still be lucky enough to escape death and directly harvest slaves? !
...I don't know how much money I can make this time. This is definitely making me rich!
Moreover, this was the first time for Su Xinren to enter the dungeon, and he was able to gain such rewards right away. He was really lucky.
Postman Fang felt even more awkward and uncomfortable, as if there was a lemon embedded in his heart, and a pair of large hands were squeezing it hard, causing the sour juice to spray everywhere.
[Forget about that newcomer. I’m not really interested in lucky vases. His exploration level is still hidden, so he has no real achievements.]
When such comments suddenly appeared before his eyes, Postman Fang was delighted. It seemed that the audience had sharp eyes. Many people had the same idea as him. Great minds think alike:
[Anyway, Bai Shen is her real boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend?), who has been protecting her the whole time. Don’t be envious, she is lucky. If you want to see the real strength, you have to look at this year’s Rookie of the Year!]
[This year's Rookie of the Year hasn't been announced yet?]
[It’s almost certain. He must be the number one of the top 100 new artists right now. Our awesome machine gun mailman! The guy wearing sunglasses!! Those who haven’t seen him will regret it. He’s so cool and stylish. Bai Shen is now focusing on dating. This guy can definitely be Bai Shen’s meal replacement. He’s only 17 years old. Everyone, please support his little brother!]
…
Postman Fang was annoyed. The audience's attention shifted too quickly! All of a sudden, it shifted from Bride Su to the machine gun postman. No one was discussing him anymore!
Then, the barrage showed a tendency to weaken again, and the number of online viewers continued to decrease, unable to maintain its popularity.
...Unless you can keep causing trouble.
Now, the situation was at a standstill. Postman Fang was racking his brains to think of something else to say. Planner Peng was just like the maid Lin before, refusing to swear that he had never concealed anything. They insisted that there was no need for this, and they could believe it or not.
"Excuse me……"
A faint voice emerged from the rare silence:
"What was the hair that attacked Lawyer Chen? What did it look like?"
Su Yi asked. He just listened to their quarrel and felt it was a bit strange.
"What else can the hair look like?" Peng planned, "Just like when Mr. Bai died."
Su Yi pretended not to understand: "Mr. Bai...vomited out his hair?"
He knew that there were two kinds of hair at the scene.
Planner Peng was a little impatient: "Before the old man died, didn't a lot of hair come out from under the table and attack people everywhere? Bai Shen also took out a knife to chop it, and it was just like that hair, dancing around like an octopus."
Su Yi said with an "oh". The hair that Mr. Bai vomited out was a supernatural phenomenon caused by a ghost. The hair was relatively fine and soft, and looked like a woman's hair. The hair that attacked people before was "electric" hair, which was relatively coarse and hard. Because it was electrified, it was swung with great force. At first glance, it looked like a living thing.
...electric hair.
If the murderer had already placed an electric hair dryer in the passage, he could have hidden in the dark and controlled it.
But if the murderer is determined to kill Lawyer Chen, he should still be at the scene. Su Yi thought that the electric hair is not smart hair and cannot guarantee that it will kill Lawyer Chen. If he wants to ensure that Lawyer Chen will die, the murderer should be near the secret passage to control the situation.
Then the suspects can only be Planner Peng and Maid Lin.
However, if it is just for scaring people, and it can be remotely controlled, then everyone present should be suspicious.
……Wait a moment!
Su Yi suddenly thought that when Mr. Bai died, he was the only one who noticed the difference between the electric hair and the ghost hair at the scene, but the other players were looking at Mr. Bai's body and did not find such details. He has always been in the leading position in the truth exploration, so...
"How can you be sure that Lawyer Chen was stabbed by the murderer? With so much hair, is it possible that... Lawyer Chen encountered a ghost in the secret passage and was killed by the ghost..."
Su Yi asked this deliberately, pretending to have a hint of fear in his voice, and looked at Lin Peng with his deer-like eyes.
He himself was able to confirm that Lawyer Chen's death was caused by the murderer because he knew about the electric hair. But how could other players, especially Planner Peng and Maid Lin, confirm that Lawyer Chen was stabbed by the murderer?
Their statements will directly affect other people's judgment on Lawyer Chen's death, but the fact is that everyone has already agreed during the reasoning meeting: the murderer stabbed four people.
That is to say, Lin and Peng's narration made everyone feel that Lawyer Chen did not die because of a ghost, but was stabbed to death by the murderer, so other players formed such an understanding and began to doubt whether Lin and Peng were the murderers.
So, on what basis did Lin and Peng conclude that Lawyer Chen, who was killed by hair, was not possessed by a ghost but was killed by a murderer?
Hearing Su Yi's question, Maid Lin and Planner Peng's faces suddenly changed.
"Really?" Postman Fang took the opportunity to retort, "How do you two know that it was the murderer who killed him? The hair attack should be a ghost."
"We don't know either..." Planner Peng gritted her teeth and didn't say the second half of the sentence. She wanted to say in a huff that we didn't know either! But players who were not the murderer couldn't lie.
"How could you possibly not know?" The old pastor knew what she was trying to say and turned the tables on her, "At that time, you two ran out of the secret passage in a panic and told us loudly that Lawyer Chen was dead!
"Afterwards, everyone helped get Lawyer Chen's body out of the secret passage. It was planned by Peng. I remember clearly that you said at the time: This is the fourth one."
"Yes, yes!" Postman Fang also became excited. "I remembered it now! Miss Lin also said that this murderer is terrible! That's why you led us to believe that the murderer stabbed four people! We didn't think about the ghost anymore. We thought it was the same as when Mr. Bai died. The murderer used the ghost's hair to kill people."
Su Yi didn't say anything else and just watched the situation develop quietly.
Young Master Bai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at Su Yi and curled his lips.
The magician was watching with his arms folded, staring at Su Yi's thin back intently, his eyes full of approval. If his gaze could turn into a tongue, he would probably have started licking it.
Bai Ye was unhappy. He didn't understand why these two people had such strange smiles on their faces.
After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered that when I was in high school, Su Yi's math scores were outstanding...
He seemed to understand a little.
Bai Ye turned to look at Su Yi, his heart full of amazement:
...So amazing, just by asking a simple question, he forced Lin and Peng out!
Su Yi's question was actually very simple and reasonable. It was asked in a very appropriate way, and it had a kind of weak fear, which hit the point right away. For example, the postman and the old pastor who kept forcing Lin Peng and Peng not to hide anything and to swear were much more tricky.
Moreover, no matter whether it was other players or audience comments, if they did not have a basic understanding of Su Yi, they would not understand the significance of this question at all. They just thought that Su Yi was timid and afraid of ghosts.
Beep——
At this moment, a red warning popped up on the screen of Maid Lin and Planner Peng:
[You have been strongly suspected by other players, please explain as much as possible]
[If the non-murderer player refuses to explain, it will be regarded as malicious and improper attitude, and may be punished by the system. Players are requested to adjust their mentality, give full play to their subjective initiative, and deal with the thriller script killing with a positive attitude.]
"Fuck." Miss Peng cursed softly. Maid Lin sighed, as if she had finally given up hiding it.
"It was definitely the murderer who killed him." She opened her gaming backpack, "We found a bloody note on his body..."
Su Yi saw a note floating in the air, with a line of words written crookedly in blood on it. There were traces of blood flowing down the edges of the words, which looked very strange:
[In a small, dark room, with a large mirror, the fourth body is placed on the table. You are only one pair of hands away from the truth.]
【bite--】
[Maid Lin and Planner Peng took the initiative to share [The Bloody Note on the Corpse], congratulations to all players, the truth exploration degree +7%]
"Damn it! What a loss." Planner Peng couldn't help but curse.
The corners of Su Yi's mouth curled up slightly. He had been waiting for this moment quietly, like a little hunter dressed as an innocent deer.
