[Based on the bone structure, both victims were female]
The light screen reflects two jagged white bones in the red mud, and sends a bone analysis report to the player:
[One skeleton is more severely decomposed, and the bone age is relatively higher, it should be a female around 35 years old, and the other is a female around 20 years old]
Su Yi frowned. The two bodies were of different ages?
He squatted on the mat, gently brushed away the dust on the bones with a small brush, and observed them more carefully.
[Congratulations! You have dug up the [female corpse buried in the garden]! Exploration degree +5%]
Bai Ye, who was leaning on a catwalk, heard the joyful notification sound from the light screen beside his ear. The comments on his small TV instantly became boiling:
[Congratulations to Baishen! Is this the first time you have collected and dug out the exploration points yourself?]
[Hahahahahahaha Baishen is hugging his wife again!]
[Fuck! That new guy who broke the historical record? He broke it again! It increased by 5%!]
[…Oh my god, that’s already 80%. Wait! This bride is a new bride, right? He was the one who directed Bai Shen to dig up the body just now, so he should have increased by 5%, right?]
[Don't think about it! It can't be him. The previous historical record changed from 72% to 75%, an increase of 3%, but this newcomer didn't find anything at the time. After the magician left, he came downstairs to the garden.]
The comments were full of discussion. Bai Ye was sharp-eyed and caught the key words from the thick comments:
...After the magician left?
He was shocked:
When did Su Yi and the magician meet?
Could it be that while he was disappointed and didn't find the ghost, Su Yi happened to meet the magician on the second floor?
Moreover, the magician's frivolous personality made him miss this opportunity to be alone and did not bother Su Yi, so Su Yi quickly went down to the garden on the first floor.
Bai Ye immediately felt that something was wrong. He was usually slow in reasoning about cases, but he couldn't be careless about something like this.
The audience was discussing enthusiastically on Bai Shen's small TV. Suddenly, a silver light flashed before their eyes. Bai Shen's ID [GOD] marked the words [After the magician left] in the barrage in red, and posted a pinned reply:
[When did it happen?]
audience:"……"
The barrage fell into collective silence.
Bai Shen stared at the screen, and then saw:
[Hehe, Baishen, guess what]
[How should I put it? This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words (gestures)]
[You guys are so mean, hahahaha? If you don’t tell Bai Shen, he will be so anxious]
Bai Ye looked at these remarks coldly and sneered. If you don't tell him, then forget it. He doesn't care. At worst, he can just ask Su Yi directly.
"Help me lift it up a bit."
Su Yi suddenly pointed at the two skulls and said to Bai Ye, "He was wearing wedding gloves, so it was inconvenient for him to pick up the bones."
Bai Ye picked up the skull, bent slightly, and brought it to Su Yi's line of sight to show him.
Su Yi took a quick look and found that there seemed to be something inside the skull. He found a small flashlight from his backpack and shone it into the skull's eye sockets.
There is a small mark engraved on the inside of the skull.
It is a six-pointed star.
There are such engravings inside both skulls.
Su Yi didn't say anything and quietly put away the flashlight. It seems that the deaths of these two women are inseparable from this six-pointed star evil method.
The content behind the hexagram is deleted and modified. If you explore too much, you will receive a warning from the system. He asked Bai Ye to put the skull back to its original place, and then checked his light screen:
[Unprecedented! You are setting a new record high: 80% (hidden)]
——Sure enough, I found that these two hexagrams were the same as before, and the exploration level did not increase at all.
His small TV was placed sideways, so he couldn't see the hexagram from his perspective. Everyone was guessing:
[My wife discovered something! Is there a new level of exploration?]
[I looked at the historical records and found nothing new. If he really found something, it would prove that he is not the 80% newbie? God.]
[Who is that new guy? It's so strange! It's only 80% now, it looks like he hasn't cleared the level yet. When he clears the level, the exploration level will increase by 15%, right?]
[If you add that in, it’s 95%, that’s awesome!! I feel like I’m witnessing the birth of a new god]
[Although I know 95% is already very impressive, it would still be great if it really reached this value? Q: What is the remaining 5%?]
[Don’t underestimate this last 5%. Many great players have exploration levels of 94% or 95%, but they are just a little bit short at the end.]
[A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step]
[Although 95% is awesome, it’s still not enough. It has to reach 100%. If there are any script-killing veterans, you will definitely know what I’m talking about. This bride copy is very special.]
[I understand. Sometimes if you can’t find the last 5%, you’ll miss the truth. The real masters don’t care about the ranking of the level. The real truth is the most important.]
Su Yi noticed these two comments keenly. He quickly checked the IDs of the two viewers and wrote them down: miuki233, dadada88.
The words of these two people seem like those of veterans, but their IDs look like those of newly registered garbled accounts.
...Is it a small one?
Su Yi had some doubts, so he asked Bai Ye casually, "Can this horror script-killing game be played... using a secondary account like in a virtual game?"
"…?" Bai Ye was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
He couldn't understand for a moment how Su Yi's thoughts jumped from the female corpse's bones to opening a small account.
Su Yi: "For example, you are at a high level now, and you have plenty of gold coins and various props, but you want to prove your strength or just want to find excitement, can you still open a new account and start from level 0?"
"If someone is not satisfied with his life, can he put himself back into the womb and start over again?" Bai Ye was very surprised that Su Yi asked such a question. He warned:
"This is not a game. You can't start over, and you can't open an account. It pulls people in from reality, and each person has one account until they die, unless you can chop that person in half. Don't think about it, and be careful."
Bai Ye frowned and looked at the sky above Su Yi. The idea of opening a smurf account was essentially a deception of the system, violating the unspoken rules of [Thriller Script Killing]...
After waiting for a while, nothing happened around Su Yi.
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Su Yi did not receive any punishment or warning. If he was hit with the collar bomb again, he would go crazy.
Su Yi had the life-saving system in his hand, so he was very safe and free-thinking. He glanced at the reaction on his small TV, and the barrage was all the same:
[Hahaha, so funny. As expected of a newbie. Really imaginative. Even opening a secondary account is possible. You should familiarize yourself with the basic rules.]
[A whimsical wife is also adorable!]
It seems that Bai Ye was right, Su Yi thought. In the eyes of most people, creating a second account in a horror script-killing game was nothing but a fantasy.
This is an impossible behavior, just like the sun does not rise from the west. It has become a common sense and taken for granted. If you don't even know this, you will be laughed at by others.
Seeing everyone saying so, Su Yi did not believe it immediately. He glanced at the IDs of these audiences. Miuki233 and dadada88 did not speak.
Su Yi had no intention of getting the real answer from most people. What was important was not what these people said, but how different people responded to the same question.
"Life-saving system." Su Yi called it in his heart:
"Is it possible to open a smurf account in a horror script? I saw two viewers who looked a bit suspicious."
The life-saving system paused for a long time before answering:
"Wife, everything is possible? Oh."
Su Yi: "How can we do this?"
What Bai Ye said was not wrong. The horror script-based murder game pulls real people in from reality. According to this mechanism, if you want to create a small account, then in the real world... you must have two "people". Do you really have to split the person in half?
"I can't go into more details. If it's you, you should know it sooner or later. Go ahead, smart wife!"
Su Yi: "..."
This life-saving system has become increasingly worse as the audience has learned from it.
"These two white bones..." Bai Ye squatted in the red mud, imitating Su Yi's way of carefully observing the skulls, "Is there someone? Is he playing a trumpet?"
“…Ah?” Su Yi was confused.
Bai Ye: "Because after you looked at the bone, you asked about the trumpet, I thought..."
Su Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, that was just a sudden thought on my part, it has nothing to do with bones."
Bai Ye uttered an "oh" and heard Su Yi's calm voice, as if he had solved the mystery of the bones. He asked:
"Do you already know who these bones belong to?"
Su Yi did not deny: "I made some guesses, but they may not be correct. Look at this younger skeleton, the cervical vertebrae under the skull are broken, while the other cervical vertebrae are intact.
"The eldest young master held two weddings in the church before, and both brides were killed. The first one was stabbed in the heart, and the second one was hung from the window and hanged, just like Grace."
Bai Ye: "So the one with a broken cervical vertebra is the second bride, and the one next to it is the first one?"
"No, the ages don't match." Su Yi said, "The first and second brides were both very young, they should be in their twenties, but one of the two skeletons is in his twenties and the other is around thirty-five."
He showed his light screen to Bai Ye: "I applied to the system for a DNA test, take a look."
Su Yi dragged the fragment of truth, [the white bones under the red mud in the garden], which he had collected in his backpack, and put it into the [Sample A] grid of the light screen DNA test.
He clicked the drop-down arrow of [Sample B] and the options were: Player No. 13, Mr. Bai, Grace, Lawyer Chen, and Old Pastor.
——All of them are players who have been stabbed.
Their real bodies were either dead or ransomed, and their bodies were stored in the system for DNA testing. Su Yi selected them one by one and clicked on the batch test.
Soon, Bai Ye saw the result pop up on the screen:
Skeleton No. 1 - About 35 years old. Comparison result: None. DNA did not match any of the above persons.
White Bone No. 2 - around 20 years old: also without a soul.
"Remember, the first bride who died, Jennifer, was the daughter of an old pastor." Su Yi patiently explained to Bai Ye, just like explaining math problems to him in high school:
"If she was among the bones, her DNA would match that of the old pastor. So I guess the skeleton No. 2, who is in her twenties and has a broken cervical vertebra, should be the second bride who was hanged."
"Who is the other one?" Bai Ye was enlightened on the first step, and then he had another question, "Where is the body of the first bride Jennifer? Was she buried normally?"
"The whereabouts of Jennifer's body are still unknown, and I don't know if it will be mentioned again in the subsequent plot." Su Yi replied, "As for the other 35-year-old skeleton, we can simply use the process of elimination to speculate.
"The only female characters who have died in this script so far are Mr. Bai's wife and Mr. Bai's bride. The bride's age doesn't match, so she's ruled out. So the only one left is Mr. Bai's wife.
"Mr. Bai has had five wives. The first was Xiu Zhenhong, who gave birth to the eldest son. The second was Lin Xiu (Linda), who gave birth to the second son. There are also suspicions that Maid Lin might be his daughter. The third wife gave birth to the third son, which is you. The fourth wife is unknown but she died. The fifth is Grace."
Grace is definitely not the one, and the remaining four people are all possible. Su Yi split the light screen, one screen showing the DNA, and the other screen showing the reasoning notebook, making a record of the elimination method.
Bai Ye understood after hearing this. If the 35-year-old skeleton was Xiu Zhenhong, then the DNA of the skeleton would match that of the young master, and so on. At this time, a reminder popped up on Su Yi's screen:
[If the player needs to detect the DNA relationship between the surviving player and the bones, please find a way to obtain the DNA of the current surviving player]
Bai Ye quickly squeezed out a drop of blood from the wound on the palm of his hand and put it into [Sample B] for DNA testing.
Testing...
[Match failed, no DNA similarity!]
Su Yi crossed out the possibility of the third wife (Mr. Bai's mother) in the reasoning notes next to him. Now the remaining ones are: Xiu Zhenhong, Lin Xiu, and the unknown fourth wife.
"As long as we get...big brother and the magician's DNA for comparison, we can use the method of elimination to figure out who this skeleton belongs to, right?" Bai Ye said.
Su Yi neither admitted nor denied it.
Ordinary players cannot lie about plot-related issues. The magician is living in someone else's body, and his DNA cannot prove whether it is Lin Xiu. Perhaps the key is to confirm whether Maid Lin is Lin Xiu's daughter.
Su Yi said vaguely: "Let's give it a try anyway. Let's go find the young master first..."
"oh."
Bai Ye stared at Su Yi and changed the subject casually:
"Aren't you going to find a magician?"
…!
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Bai Ye's voice was a bit cold, and Su Yi had a bad feeling. The next second, he felt Bai Ye approaching him, his hot breath sprayed in his ears, and he asked softly:
"Or did the magician just come to see you?"
