Chapter 57: Reverse Pursuit



Tiny lenses reflected faint light.

Young Master Bai frowned. There was something like this hidden behind the mirror. He clenched his fist with one hand and wanted to destroy the pinhole camera immediately...

"etc!"

Su Yi stopped him, and he suddenly thought of:

"Can this electrical signal be traced back?"

This powerful murderer has not shown up yet. From the beginning of the dungeon to now, he has been using various tools and information gaps to bring these ordinary players to this point.

The ghost's hair is electric hair, the monster is a violent baboon modification, the ghost bride in the mirror is a video recording, and the ghost face that suddenly appears is a pinhole camera observing his movements. The several weird killing methods are not because the murderer is so smart and has designed a perfect plan, but because the murderer was not among the players on the scene from beginning to end, and has been hiding in the dark using the information gap in the number of people.

Su Yi didn't know the progress of other players. If he hadn't figured out the key issues such as the number trap, the magician was the "ghost", and the murderer was not among them at all, he might still be kept in the dark, like a headless fly, searching for evidence and suspecting others.

The tools allow the killer to monitor the players, but they also expose the killer's own whereabouts.

The electrical signal emitted by the pinhole camera will be transmitted to the murderer. Conversely, as long as you track this electrical signal, you can find the murderer's location and pull him out of the dark!

“…it is technically possible.”

Young Master Bai followed Su Yi's thoughts and opened the system mall to look for available tools: "However, this kind of device is not sold directly, you need to buy other accessories and modify it yourself."

Su Yi: "Let me buy it."

"No need." The young master said with a smile:

"What belongs to me is yours. Aren't they all marital property? Why do you have to divide them so clearly?"

Su Yi blushed, and the young master quickly took out a bunch of props from the system mall, and they began to assemble them according to the drawings.

A pink screen flashed across the small TV next to it:

[Wow, this is my favorite couple doubles session!]

[Are we finally going to catch the murderer? I rub my hands together excitedly, come on, wife! I’ll beat the murderer to the ground and find his head]

[This murderer really spent a lot of money, buying these electronic tools? It must be nearly 100,000 gold coins, right? Just for a new player copy? Killing all the players and successfully clearing the level will only reward 13,000 gold coins, isn't this a painful loss? What's the point!]

This is also the question Su Yiyou is considering. The murderer went to great lengths to kill them. There must be a reason. What does he want to gain from this dungeon? The comments are all guessing that the murderer might be a bloodthirsty killer who would rather lose money than experience the perverted fun of a knife player:

[But is it really fun to use krypton gold to bully newbies in the newbie dungeon?]

[What they want is the pleasure of spending money to bully weak players. If you play a pay-to-win match with a player of a higher level, who doesn’t have a fortune of at least 100,000 yuan to fight you?]

[Well, then this murderer is just a pervert who spent money on krypton gold. I thought he was so awesome when I saw his killing method before. Now the krypton gold battle is meaningless.]

[Hahahahaha, this murderer who played a krypton gold war with my wife is finished. My wife just collected a wave of gold coin slaves. That’s a lot of money! Bai Shen, Bai Da Shao, and the magician, they don’t look like they are short of money. They are all my wife’s spare treasury! ]

"Take this, this should be about right."

While Su Yi was looking at the complicated circuit diagram, he was instructing Mr. Bai to connect the wires. Soon, the [Electrical Signal Reverse Tracking Device] was assembled.

"drop--"

Switching the device from OFF to ON, the reverse tracking officially started. The electronic screen was scanning back and forth. The young master called up the structural map of the church on the light screen and connected the map to the reverse tracker.

“Ding ding!”

A red dot appeared on the electronic screen, and the electrical signal of the pinhole camera was retrieved!

Su Yi came over and looked, and saw that the red dot was located at the junction of the two rooms.

Just like two adjacent cubes, a red dot appears on the edge where they intersect at the bottom. The signal receiver of the pinhole camera is at this position.

…Which room is it?

Su Yi pointed at the electronic screen and asked, "Where is this nearby?"

"It should be the guest room in Zone C on the first floor." Young Master Bai paused, "Maid Lin and Planner Peng's room."

Su Yi frowned. These two people... no matter which one of them was explained as the murderer, it would be illogical.

"Let's go check it out first."

Hiding here and guessing will not yield any results. Su Yi decided to take the initiative and see what kind of person this murderer is.

The broad daylight shines through the corridors, making the bright areas of the church even brighter and the dark areas even darker.

The guest rooms in Area C are located in the shade on the first floor and are for people who are not too important. Su Yi pushed the young master's wheelchair and felt a cool breeze blowing across the back of his neck.

[Wow, I'm a little worried, wife. After all, the other party is a murderer. If I track him backwards, I'm just dancing in the murderer's minefield, right? If I get caught? Then...]

[Don’t be such a pessimist! Your wife won’t be caught! ! ]

[It feels a bit dangerous, wife, do you want to call someone to escort us? After all, the young master is a disabled person (very quiet voice)]

Knock, knock.

Su Yi didn't worry too much and knocked on the door of Peng's plan first.

He was already dead, and he was so afraid that he couldn't even catch the murderer. What's more, it was broad daylight, and there was a young master Bai with him. Even if the murderer wanted to kill him with a knife, he would not choose to kill him in front of him like this.

No one answered the door and no one heard any movement.

Su Yi knocked on Maid Lin's door again, but there was no one there.

"It seems that they are not here." said Young Master Bai.

"I'll go in and take a look." Su Yi let go of the wheelchair, "You stay here."

The eldest young master also seemed to want to go in, but he was a disabled person, and if he sneaked into the house with him, it would hinder Su Yi's search for evidence.

He said at the right moment: "I'll help you guard the door outside. If anything happens inside..."

The young master lowered his eyes and moved his ring finger, hinting at Su Yi's wedding ring.

...the life-saving system in the wedding ring.

Su Yi understood the hint. The young master's thoughts were being monitored in real time by the light screen system, so he couldn't talk to him directly.

"I? Know, it'll be fine."

Click.

Su Yi used the key-casting tool he had bought when he entered the magician's room to cast the key to Peng's room and opened the door.

Planner Peng's room was a little messy, with some wedding planning plans piled on the table. The wall opposite the table was next to maid Lin's room, and the position at the bottom of the wall was where the reverse tracker showed an electrical signal.

Su Yi squatted down and checked carefully, but found nothing.

He left Peng's room with a little doubt, and followed the same method to open Lin's room and go in to take a look.

Maid Lin's room was cleaner and everything was in order.

Su Yi followed the instructions of the reverse tracker and squatted next to the wall. The red dot of the electrical signal appeared next to his hand, but when he looked, there was nothing here, and there was no receiver at all.

…It’s just like when you use a map app and it says your destination is just 3m away but you can’t see it.

[? ? What's going on? Is the reverse tracker useless? ]

[Could the murderer have buried the receiver in the wall?]

[Buried in the wall? How can the murderer monitor other people's movements in real time? He must take it out? Let's see]

Su Yi's small TV is now full of question marks, and some afterthoughts:

[I knew it wouldn’t be that easy to find the murderer! This new guy is taking things for granted.]

Although the current situation was a bit strange, Su Yi immediately understood it after thinking about it.

This situation is just like when you use a map app, the navigation says you have arrived and the distance is very close, but you just can't see the destination. This situation occurs only because there is spatial overlap between the points on the map plane.

The navigation app is a little stupid and cannot recognize that the real destination is actually above or below the current space, so it appears that it is very close, but you can't find it at all.

Su Yi turned around and left the room. The tracker showed the bottom edge of the wall. If the electrical signal receiver of the pinhole camera was not here, then it must be in the space below.

That is, under the room where Maid Lin and Peng planned, there is a room on the underground floor. On the edge of the top wall of that room, the murderer's electrical signal receiver is placed.

"Can we go down from this place?" Su Yi asked Young Master Bai.

They should go to Area C on the negative first floor to find the murderer hiding there.

Young Master Bai led him around the corner and pointed to the stairs in front of him: "Here? Go down."

The young master was in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to go down, so Su Yi was about to go down by himself...

"etc."

Su Yi was called to a stop. He turned around and saw the young master took out a pair of VR glasses from his gaming backpack, put them on his eyes, and then looked down at the ground.

This pair of glasses projects a virtual large screen into the air, and through band scanning, it quickly constructs an image of underground buildings, and through real-time thermal radiation temperature measurement controls, it detects whether there are any living organisms underground.

[Testing completed! The building structure is safe, there is no risk of collapse, and no living organisms are present]

Explanation? The murderer is not at home now.

The young master took off his glasses with confidence and smiled: "You can go down now. I'll wait for you here."

Su Yi: "..."

No wonder countless players are trying so hard to earn more gold coins in this script-killing game. Rich people really look at the world differently.

"Although the murderer is probably not at home." The young master warned Su Yi, "but you still have to be careful about everything. Who knows what traps he has set. If something happens..."

"I know." Su Yi raised his ring finger towards the young master. There was a life-saving system in his wedding ring.

The stairs were dark and deep. Su Yi took out a lamp from her backpack, picked it up, and walked down carefully, her skirt dragging on the stairs.

[It’s so dark here, a little scary…]

Su Yi saw that many viewers on his small TV were trembling:

[Even if the young master has tested me, I am still scared. What if there is no one downstairs when the young master is testing me, but the murderer suddenly appears when my wife comes downstairs? What should I do?]

[So I say this new guy is really reckless, he actually ran in like this? The disabled young man can't help, he is just sending himself to death, at least he can ask Baishen to come and help.]

[I give up. When my wife didn’t do anything, she said he was just a vase who could only rely on Baishen for protection. Then she discovered the plot by herself and said he was a coward for hiding his exploration. Now my wife has caught the murderer by herself and said it was reckless not to call Baishen. I told you everything! ]

[My dear wife, you are smart and brave. Let’s catch the murderer!]
