A packet of rouge flashed before Su Yi's eyes.
Postman Fang held the packet of powder mysteriously and said, "Do you remember that when Mr. Bai died, he had a kind of red powder on his body?"
Of course Su Yi remembered that when Mr. Bai died, there were two kinds of powders. Blue powder was found in the food box, and red powder was found on the body.
We went to Grace's room last night and confirmed that the blue powder was put there by Grace, but it was not the cause of Mr. Bai's death.
As for this red powder...
"Ghost Curse Powder, red in color, anyone sprinkled with it will automatically be cursed by nearby ghosts and die within five minutes."
Postman Fang read the instructions on the packet of powder to Su Yi. His voice was quiet, like he was reading a ghost story:
"Did you see that? Mr. Bai was killed by this beauty, so Miss Peng is the real murderer!"
“…”
Su Yi didn't respond.
It turned out that this was what Postman Fang found. He was a little disappointed, as he thought it was more shocking evidence.
He had predicted the matter of the beauty when he witnessed the death of Mr. Bai. The person who possessed the beauty was just a scapegoat chosen by the murderer.
The clever murderer deliberately left the red powder for them to find, and then hid the red powder in a certain player's room. When the time came, Peng would not be able to explain himself by jumping into the Yellow River, and they would also be confused by the murderer's judgment.
The one who is really connected to the murderer is not the red powder, but the yellow powder at the beginning.
As for the player No. 13 who was shot, Su Yi was hiding behind the peephole in the cloakroom when he saw yellow powder stained on his suit pants.
Later, when the system sent the body of player No. 13 to them for examination, the yellow powder was gone. The autopsy report said that the player died of brain disorder. Su Yi guessed that the yellow powder should be some kind of mind-controlling drug.
So far, he has not found any evidence related to the yellow powder. Since the murderer deliberately turned back to wipe off the yellow powder on the body, it means that the yellow powder is closely related to himself and the murderer is afraid of being exposed.
"What do you think? Do you want to just surrender and pass the level?" asked Postman Fang.
Su Yi followed Postman Fang's thoughts and put on a frightened expression, pretending to be suspicious:
"Really... Miss Peng?"
"Of course it's her! I've long felt that one of them must be wrong." Postman Fang said confidently, constantly urging Su Yi to surrender:
"I don't know if Maid Lin has noticed anything unusual. The two of them always act together. If we don't surrender quickly, Maid Lin might be the first one to pass the level."
Su Yi slowly pretended to be convinced, timidly expressed his agreement to the postman Fang, and promised that he would deliver the message as soon as possible!
——It is not a lie to say this. Su Yi really wants to find the murderer as soon as possible, reach 100% exploration degree and then surrender to the murderer to pass the level. He just won't surrender to Peng's plan as Fang Postman thought.
At the same time, Su Yi heard the system prompt sound coming from his ear:
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the truth? Fragment shared by Postman Fang: Ghost Curse Red Powder, Truth? Exploration Degree: +8%]
"Wife, that's amazing! Your exploration level has increased from 54% to 62%!"
Su Yi heard the life-saving system happily broadcasting in his heart:
"I have already tied the highest record of all players of [Thriller Script Killing]! Just find one more thing and you will break the record! Oh, by the way...
"The exploration level of the newcomer No. 1 in the same class: Machine Gun Mailman is 25%. Wife, you are already 2.48 times his! Do you want to make your exploration level public? If you do, No. 1 should be yours. Let's try to kill him when we have four times the exploration level in the final clearance!"
“Don’t make it public.”
Su Yi said in his heart, and corrected the words of the life-saving system:
"Also, it's not about striving for it."
——It is certain that he will be killed four times.
Are you kidding? 25% exploration degree is too low, right? Quadruple kills are normal.
"A-choo——"
At this moment, on the small TV of the No.1 Rookie List, the machine gun guy was sitting in a pile of gifts sent by fans and sneezed violently.
He pushed up his sunglasses and smiled self-deprecatingly at the camera, revealing his very white teeth: "Did anyone say anything bad about me just now?"
[The sound of woooo ...
[He sounds so handsome! He looks a bit like Baishen! Can the No.1 guy take off his sunglasses so we can see his real face!]
[Can you please stop saying he looks like Baishen? Please show some respect to the machine gun guy...]
[It’s funny. Isn’t it flattering to say that a newcomer is like Bai Shen? You don’t really think that a rookie who ranks first can be compared with Bai Shen?]
Under the sunglasses, his cold eyes swept across the barrage. The machine gun guy didn't say anything, and a plastic smile was still on his face.
He had heard of Bai Shen's name a long time ago. This man's fighting power was engraved in the hall of history, and all players could see his terrifying record of killing ghosts.
However, he did not have the slightest admiration for this. On the contrary, the more the audience said that he was like this great god, the more it aroused his desire to win. It would not take long before he would definitely surpass this so-called White God.
Although Bai Shen has high combat power, his brain power is extremely poor, and his overall strength may not be very high. It is said that the exploration degree of the first dungeon he cleared as a rookie was only 3%, which is shockingly low. But now his exploration degree is 25%, the highest score among the rookies this year, and he has far surpassed Bai Shen at the starting point.
"Okay, then I will continue to help my wife hide 62% of the exploration level."
The life-saving system said obediently in Su Yi's heart:
"But, wife, if you keep rising, you will immediately break the historical record of all players, and the record in the Hall of History will be updated in real time."
"It doesn't matter. You can't see it's me anyway." Su Yi smiled in his heart:
"Let them guess first."
Even if he wants to make the exploration public, he can't do it all at once. He has to do it step by step to whet the audience's appetite first.
"You guys still here?"
Suddenly, a female voice came from the courtyard.
Su Yi raised his head and saw planner Peng and maid Lin walking towards them.
Postman Fang was so frightened that he shut up immediately. He trembled when he saw Planner Peng and didn't dare to mention the matter of surrendering to the murderer again, for fear of being heard by others.
Su Yi responded with a hum and said, "Just woke up."
Planner Peng: "Xiao Lin and I walked around the garden, but we didn't find anything. By the way, do you want to go find the mirror together? It's the one the murderer left behind, a big mirror, and the truth is only a pair of hands away..."
Su Yi cracked that thing last night. He shook his head and declined, saying that he was not feeling well and wanted to rest.
Planner Peng didn't say much, but turned to look at Postman Fang inquiringly. Postman Fang was so scared that his legs went limp, and he immediately said, "I... am very sleepy, I want to... go back to my room to rest..."
He didn't want to stay with Peng anymore, so he ran! Before leaving, he secretly winked at Su Yi, telling him not to forget, and remember to seize the opportunity to surrender as soon as possible!
Su Yi blinked obediently, indicating that he would definitely vote fiercely!
Lin and Peng did not stay long. They asked a few questions meaningfully and then continued to search for evidence in other places.
Su Yi reached out and closed the auditorium door, then returned to the dining table to eat the cheese, bacon and egg breakfast that the eldest master had bought for him.
I haven’t finished eating it yet, so I can’t waste it.
He held the knife and fork, taking small bites of his meal, looking elegant and beautiful. The golden-orange sunlight fell on him, and his snow-white wedding dress exuded an ethereal air in the light.
Su Yi's leisurely breakfast appearance shocked a large number of viewers. In addition to the usual PRPR licking, there were also many comments asking questions:
[Huh? What’s going on? Haven’t you already targeted Miss Peng? Aren’t you planning to surrender and clear the level?]
[Just now, you were stunned by what the postman said. You were scared at first, then a little suspicious, and finally convinced by the postman. You even vowed to surrender soon. How come you are eating breakfast here right now?]
[Hahahaha! I get it. My wife is so mean! I got 8% exploration for nothing!]
[Oh my god! Were the people in front of me acting to trick the postman? ? Hahahaha, what a poor postman!]
[It can’t be said to be tragic, right? I think his wife saved his life, and the evidence of the red powder is a bit too obvious? It may not be planned by Peng, right? If the postman Fang really acted impulsively and turned himself in, then he would have died in vain?]
[Ahhhh, is there anyone who can count how much exploration my wife has now?!]
8%……
Su Yi ate the cheese egg quietly, thinking about the progress in his mind, his brows slightly furrowed. He felt that the exploration level of this red powder was a bit high? It could be said to be the highest one at present.
The highest value before was the murderer's words: A wide mirror... just missing a pair of hands. Worth 7% exploration.
This sentence can open the mirror mechanism and see the real story of the ghost bride. This 7% can be said to be worth it. But if the red powder is just a smokescreen, how can it be worthy of 8%?
This red powder may contain more information.
Su Yi thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of a question: the function of this red powder is that anyone sprinkled with it will automatically be cursed by nearby ghosts.
nearby……
In other words, when Mr. Bai died, there was a ghost nearby...
Suddenly! Su Yi thought of a core problem, and the confusion in his mind seemed to be clear at this moment:
The issue of number of people.
This copy has 13 players, 1 of whom is the murderer, and 1 is a ghost, making a total of 14 people.
According to planner Peng and maid Lin, the ghosts in the bride dungeon they had played before were all female ghosts, brides who had died in the past. They would use their long hair to haunt the church at night.
This characteristic is consistent with the ghost bride he saw in the cloakroom mirror.
In the previous Bride instance, the standard configuration was 13 players (the murderer was among these 13 people) + a female ghost. The female ghost was wandering around the church and it was impossible for her to participate in the reasoning. So, the first centralized reasoning meeting had 13 players present, and then they had to reason out who was the murderer among them.
This was the original copy situation, and it is also the normal situation for the vast majority of cases. Planner Peng and Maid Lin all experienced copies of this mode when they were newcomers.
This time, their experience was a little different. Player No. 13 was killed, and there were only 12 of them when they concentrated on reasoning for the first time.
Everyone still thought according to common sense. The murderer was among the remaining 12 people, and some of his attention was attracted by the death of Player No. 13, so they didn't think too much about it.
However, the function of this ghost curse red powder is to attract ghost energy to attack automatically, that is to say, when Mr. Bai died, the ghost was near Mr. Bai.
In this case, there are two possibilities, Su Yi thought:
One possibility is that someone among the people attending the meeting secretly sprinkled rouge powder on Mr. Bai, and the ghosts wandering in the church happened to move near Mr. Bai, such as hiding behind the wall or under the floor. The ghosts may not have intended to attack Mr. Bai, but the rouge powder took effect and automatically triggered the ghost curse attack, killing Mr. Bai.
Well, the mode of their copy is the same as usual, with the configuration of: 13 players + 1 ghost wandering outside. The murderer is among the 13 players, and the thirteenth player was stabbed first, so only 12 people came to the meeting.
However, there is another possibility: one of them is a ghost! After Mr. Bai was sprinkled with red powder, he died immediately because there was a ghost beside him.
If this is the case, then this copy is very different from usual ones. The ghost is not wandering around, but mixed in with the players. Including the murderer, a total of 14 people will come to the meeting. Excluding the dead player No. 13, there should be 13 people.
But only 12 people came, one person was missing.
This may very likely mean that the murderer was not among them from the beginning to the end!
The murderer may have seen through the ghost among them from the beginning, so he simply didn't come to the meeting. If the murderer came, there would be more people than usual, and these players would immediately realize that this dungeon is different from usual and a ghost has sneaked in!
Su Yi laughed in his heart. The murderer this time was indeed extraordinary. He used the number of people to confuse them. In fact, he had been hiding in the dark and had not shown up from the beginning!
During the first concentrated reasoning, it seemed that there were 12 players attending the meeting, but they were actually 11 ordinary players, and the other player was a ghost who played the NPC. The murderer was hiding somewhere else and watching them.
This can also explain why the murders were so bizarre. If the murderer was among them, it would be almost impossible to accomplish. Moreover, after the incident, they conducted reasoning and could not find someone who had the conditions to commit the crime five times in a row.
If they fail to see through the issue of number of people, these ordinary players will only be led by their existing habitual thinking and will eventually be killed by the murderer.
The direction of thinking in this copy is not like the usual way of constantly suspecting each other "who is the murderer among us", but to abandon this kind of thinking as soon as possible, realize the trap of the number problem, know that there is a [ghost] mixed in among them, and then search for the hiding murderer in the church!
As for who that [ghost] was among them...
The Ghost Curse Red Powder needs a nearby ghost to work. Su Yi recalled the seats at the meeting. Grace was sitting on one side of Mr. Bai, and on the other side was...
magician.
