"How can we fill in this if we don't know anything? If we get the answer wrong, won't all the points be deducted? Wouldn't we all lose a lot then?"
He Ping was a little irritable, and Rose comforted him: "What if a blind cat encounters a dead mouse? Don't be discouraged~"
"Oh, how blind must that cat be?" Li Weiyan crossed his arms, with an expression that seemed indifferent to life and death.
The others couldn't laugh at this time either. They stared at the paper as if they wanted to make a hole in it. Their mouths were tightly pursed, and they looked like they didn't want to talk, but their brains were working like crazy, almost smoking.
Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Rose was very pleased to see their struggling expressions and said with a smile, "Keep going, my dear players. You've already beaten 55% of the people by being able to persevere until now. I'm counting on you."
No one paid any attention to her. Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes and thought that she must be alive, but what about her character? Existence...
Does it mean dead but not completely dead?
Judging from the information currently available, she should not be dead. Lan Shuang pondered for a moment and chose "alive".
After she made her choice, she looked at Jiang Lusheng. Jiang Lusheng had just put down his pen, but when he noticed her gaze, he raised the paper and showed it to her. He also chose to live.
Lan Shuang nodded: "Same."
Li Weiyan grabbed his hair fiercely, and finally chose to live, muttering: "I must stay alive, otherwise that pervert won't be able to rape my corpse in the middle of the night."
He gritted his teeth and ticked the box under "alive".
Lan Shuang's eyes slowly swept across the opposite side. Everyone had basically made their choice, leaving Gao Yaozu still in deep thought. She turned to look at the people on her side. The girls would take a little longer to answer the questions because they didn't have many clues.
Lan Shuang paused when she saw Wen Qingqing. She had already finished answering, and it seemed like she had finished answering for quite a while. She was staring at a certain place in a daze.
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes.
"Okay, time's up. Put down your pens and let's announce the final results."
Rose's voice was very cheerful, and she hummed twice, showing a kind of happiness that didn't care about other people's lives.
"Congratulations to player Lan Shuang for answering correctly and earning 100 points."
"Congratulations to player Jiang Lusheng for answering correctly and earning 100 points."
"Congratulations to player Wen Qingqing for answering correctly and earning 100 points."
"Congratulations to player Pei Jinzhi for answering correctly and earning 100 points."
…
"Unfortunately, player Mu Tiao answered incorrectly, and one hundred points will be deducted."
In the end, Mu Tian was the only one who got the answer wrong.
Mu Tiao was completely stunned and looked around: "Did I answer wrong? Am I dead?"
"You answered alive?" Pei Jinzhi frowned.
"Yeah, I thought I wasn't dead, but it turned out I was wrong."
Mu Tiao sat there in a daze, "Wrong?"
"Didn't you say before that there was a corpse whose identity was unknown?" He Ping suddenly asked, "Could it be her?"
Mu Tiao's face turned pale. "Maybe it is true."
"Did everyone fill in the answers correctly?" Lan Shuang suddenly asked. The papers were collected too quickly and no one had time to look at each other's answers.
Everyone nodded, and Lan Shuang looked over one by one. "That means Mu Tiao is the only one who's wrong now. Her current state is 'existence', which matches the female corpse in the rose bush. So, Miss Fifth is dead, shot to death. Based on this clue, we can find out who attacked her."
She spoke quickly, "Everyone, hurry up now, especially you—Mu Tiao. Today, you will focus on searching the room to see if there are any other clues. The same goes for everyone else. Those who don't have any missions and are staying in the room should also search to see if there is anything related to the Fifth Miss. We will review the situation in the evening."
"Oh, right——" Rose's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Lan Shuang's words.
Lan Shuang frowned: "What else?"
"Last night, several people went out after midnight, violating the rules. They will be punished."
Li Weiyan: “?”
Why double punishment?
Lan Shuang and Jiang Lu looked at each other. He Ping glanced at Li Weiyan. Pei Jinzhi gathered his hair and asked, "So, what's the punishment?"
Rose said: "Now please go back to your room and close the door. The punishment will begin after the door is closed."
"No, I still have to lock him up in the small dark room." Li Weiyan said, "Why don't you just punish him in the small dark room."
"Due to the special circumstances of some of you, your punishment will be postponed until you are released from the small black room. Now, please return to where you should be."
Everyone stood up. Lan Shuang and Pei Jinzhi returned to their respective rooms. He Ping and Liu Quan went up to the third floor. Jiang Lusheng and the others went to the small dark room.
Zheng Mingxin, Mu Tiao, and Wen Qingqing walked behind, all three of them looking a little solemn. Zheng Mingxin asked softly, "I wonder if these punishments will be fatal. What if—"
Mu Tiao glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You should pray for them now so that they can come back safe and sound. Otherwise, with your courage and intelligence, you will definitely not survive until the last day."
After saying that, she opened the door of her room and walked in.
Zheng Mingxin: “…”
She looked at Wen Qingqing awkwardly, but Wen Qingqing just hugged her teddy bear backpack and went back to her room without saying a word, without even saying hello to her.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Mingxin was a little dissatisfied, but seeing that he was the only one left in the corridor, he quickened his pace and went into his room.
…
After Lan Shuang closed the door, the light suddenly turned on automatically, but what appeared in front of her was not the bedroom, but the flat open space downstairs.
She raised her eyebrows and tried to call 888: "Xiao Baba, are you still there?"
"Here, host, don't worry. After what happened before, I have become more vigilant and strengthened the connection between us. I won't lose contact easily."
Lan Shuang nodded: "That's good."
She looked around. "Is this so-called punishment going to be another replay of the same situation?"
888 whispered, "It felt like, hey, I suddenly came downstairs ah ah ah ah ah——"
888 suddenly screamed. Lan Shuang was startled, and then she felt something flash by in her peripheral vision. She looked up and saw a person jumping down from the building.
With a "bang", it exploded into a flower in front of her.
Large amounts of blood gushed out from the snow-white skirt, winding into a shape and then flowing into the rose bush beside it.
The girl died with her eyes open, her big eyes staring straight in Lan Shuang's direction, her whole body twisted into a strange angle.
Lan Shuang: “…”
What are you doing?
What is this girl hinting at?
She touched her chin and walked over, trying to find some clues from her body. However, as she approached, the body suddenly moved.
She stretched out her legs, arched her waist, and turned her whole body into a bridge. Her hands became feet, and she climbed up by supporting herself on the ground.
Lan Shuang: “?”
This is a bit too much!
