Chapter 114 Blizzard Villa (17) (1st update + 2nd update) [VIP]
No matter whether Hongyan and the others believed it or not, the night finally came as scheduled.
Ronghua and Fu Gui pushed their stools away and returned to their rooms after dinner, as if they had made an appointment.
Zhang San and Li Si acted as if nothing had happened. Li Si even turned around and asked them, "Aren't you going upstairs to sleep?"
"We'll keep watch." Yun Guang nodded and answered briefly.
"Stop watching, go upstairs and go to sleep," Li Si waved his hand at them, "There were so many of us here last night, but Wang En still died. It shows that there is not much difference whether we keep watch or not."
"Let's get together and feel more at ease," Yun Guang said in a gentle tone, "Besides, I already took a nap in the afternoon, so I can't fall asleep now."
"Okay," Li Si didn't say much, waved at them and went upstairs.
Originally, he and the members of the exploration team were just nodding acquaintances. Li Si was not a talkative person on weekdays, so it was strange enough that he suddenly spoke to them. If he kept persuading them to go upstairs, it would seem as if he was going to do something late at night.
Although he had plans for tonight.
Since the guests in the banquet hall did not intend to leave, he had to be careful at night. There was still a certain distance from here to the upstairs. The routes in the castle were very complicated. Even if they heard some strange noises and hurried upstairs, it would take them more than a minute.
Li Si walked up the stairs while thinking.
Zheng Tan sat among a group of exploration team members. It seemed that he was determined to integrate into their team to the end. He did not plan to sleep unless the exploration team members slept. He just sat among the group of people, as if he felt at ease only when he was with everyone.
Secretary Xiao Mi also seemed to be interested in sitting with them to keep watch. She sat in her seat and leaned her head towards them, looking as if she really wanted to sit over there.
Ling Dai had a good impression of her. Seeing her looking around, she kindly waved her hand and said, "They have all gone upstairs. If you also plan to keep watch tonight, come and sit over here."
Having learned from the boring experience of yesterday's night watch, Guan Hongyan and Xu Zichen directly bought two sets of playing cards and a set of mahjong from the foundation mall, intending to play the quintessence of traditional Chinese culture all night long.
Never mind why they brought the stuff with them when they came to France for vacation, they brought it anyway. If Zheng Tan asked them, they would say that they found it in the luggage and forgot to take it yesterday. After everyone was seated, no one dared to go up alone.
Anyway, he couldn't go through their suitcases for this thing, and who knew whether they had brought it with them when they came in.
When Secretary Xiao Mi looked over, Guan Hongyan had even started shuffling the cards.
While washing, he called out to Skao beside him: "Skao, do you want to play mahjong?"
"Oh, I forgot," she said, then she remembered, "The rice noodle roll said you are a foreigner. You wouldn't type that, would you?"
"How about we teach you tonight?"
There was a gleam of eagerness in Guan Hongyan's eyes. Perhaps it was because there was something that Scarao didn't know, and this idea aroused her desire to be a teacher.
Unfortunately, Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows and broke her fantasy lightly: "I can do it."
Guan Hongyan: ...
hateful.
The only slight sense of superiority he had over Skao was gone.
"Xiao Mi?" Ling Dai saw that the secretary Xiao Mi was sitting there without moving, and called out again in some surprise, "Come over here and sit down."
"Sister Ling Dai, I just... can't." Xiao Mi looked very conflicted.
She also seemed to think it was safer to stay together as a group. The group of explorers at the table had no conflicts at the beginning. Except for one person's death on the third day, most of the time they played the role of rushing over after a murder occurred.
On a night like this where there is a high possibility of more murders happening, it feels safer to be with them than to be alone.
Besides, the people who had a conflict tonight were Fu Gui and Rong Hua. If someone really dies, it will probably be among these people.
"Do you want to go up?" Ling Dai asked when she saw Xiao Mi's conflicted expression.
"I...I'll go up," Xiao Mi hesitated for a few seconds, "If Brother Fu doesn't have anything to do up there, I'll come down and join you guys."
After saying this, Xiao Mi walked upstairs.
However, compared to Ronghua and Fu Gui who had a lot of ideas in their minds, and Zhang San and Li Si who walked very steadily and looked extremely calm, Xiao Mi's steps were somewhat frivolous.
She cautiously leaned forward, and finally trotted out of everyone's sight.
Ling Dai watched her go upstairs. When she turned around, she saw that the top members of the exploration team had already started playing mahjong.
The comments on the barrage were all over the sky:
【Achievement: I watched a mahjong match at the foundation.】
[Are you exploration team members a little too relaxed on this night when people could die? ]
[It's fine to bring playing cards when traveling, but Zheng Tan and Xiao Mi didn't even question why someone would bring mahjong when on vacation? ]
[Compared to this, I want to know what Sister Yaner was thinking when she exchanged the hidden weapon miracle [Murder Poker] just for playing poker.]
【Murderous Poker: I knew it was a rotten factory. 】
【Murderous Poker: I never knew that I could be used for my job one day.】
[That mahjong is not a simple thing...]
…
Although there are a lot of complaints in the barrage, the atmosphere is generally relaxed.
In the Foundation's exploration live broadcast room, in most cases, the mood of investors and the atmosphere of the barrage change according to the progress and tone of the explorer team.
To put it simply, if the exploration team members look relaxed, then the investors who are watching the live broadcast will be relaxed. If the exploration team members look solemn and the atmosphere is tense, the investors will also become nervous unconsciously.
After all, other live broadcasts are just for fun, but the foundation’s live broadcasts are funded by real money.
The only thing that can liven up the atmosphere or make investors united in their hatred of the enemy is the appearance of a highly entertaining player like "Nervous Knife" or a cancer that everyone hates like "Yang Pei". At this time, the atmosphere on the barrage will become unusually unified.
Now, the team members in the unknown space are playing mahjong, so influenced by them, most of the investors hanging out in the live broadcast room are also relaxed.
Everyone was excitedly asking the housing manager to start a gambling game, so that everyone could bet on who would win the most at mahjong tonight.
The property manager opened a regular points betting game, but it took more than ten minutes before the betting was closed. The investors in the barrage shouted at the property manager to end the betting quickly, as the cards of the exploration team members below were almost shuffled.
The property management had no choice but to say: [It is impossible to open the property.]
[Why?] The investors in the barrage were at a loss.
Housing management: [……]
Housing Manager: [Because you are all suppressing Skao. ]
Although gambling is meant to promote investor enthusiasm and increase customer stickiness, with so many people online at the same time, and the four people playing cards are Skao, Guan Hongyan, Xu Zichen and Lu Changfeng, it is too outrageous that so many people can be so unanimous in betting only on Skao and no one bets on the other three.
If this game is opened, is it a gambling game or charity?
The foundation is the banker, not a fool.
There were boos everywhere in the barrage, and the room manager wiped his sweat and cancelled the bet and returned the points. Then, a group of people started to make a crazy super god and super ghost bet.
However, this time, due to the uncertainty of chess and card games, a small number of people bet on the super ghost, and the gambling game was barely started.
The worst that could happen is that if you become the best in the end, each person will not get much points as a rebate. However, this kind of betting is just for fun, and no one expects to make money from it. The special nature of Skao also means that most people know that if they board his ship, the other party may not actually look down on their invitation.
So the atmosphere on the barrage is pretty good and lively.
Since they knew something was bound to happen tonight, their and Guan Hongyan's mentality at the moment might be to have fun for a while longer before someone died, otherwise if someone really died there would be no fun at all.
Yun Guang sat nearby with a helpless look on his face. He was kicked out of the card table by Guan Hongyan and was strictly forbidden to participate in any chess and card games.
"With you, can it still be considered entertainment? That's competition," Guan Hongyan said. "Skao, you don't know that Yun Guang even counts cards when playing poker and mahjong."
"Card counting isn't scary," Xu Zichen said as he built the Great Wall, "What's scarier is that Yun Guang's calculations are always accurate."
How can it be inaccurate?
Bai Jinshu glanced at Xu Zichen silently.
You are playing cards with human brains, Yun Guang may be using a database or a processor. AlphaGo has defeated Lee Sedol, so it's like a piece of cake for Yun Guang, a logistics customer service representative, to defeat you two.
Perhaps only these two people were so thick-skinned that they didn't think there was anything wrong with Yun Guang for such a long time...
"I lost badly last time playing cards with him. This guy can see what cards you have in your hand as if he has X-ray vision," Guan Hongyan complained as she took the cards and twitched her lips. "From now on, I swear I will never play cards with Yun Guang again."
Lu Changfeng was also called to play mahjong as he was conscripted. While listening to Guan Hongyan's complaints, he looked up at his brother Ao cautiously.
Just because Yun Guang can count cards doesn’t mean that Brother Ao can’t!
He even suspected that if his brother Ao really played cards, his card counting skills might be even more terrifying than Yun Guang's.
In Lu Changfeng's mind, his brother Ao is probably equivalent to a god who knows everything.
Soon, facts told Lu Changfeng that his imagination of Scarao was too conservative.
The four of them had just picked up their cards and were ready to start when they heard Skao's very calm voice: "Oh, it's a win."
Guan Hongyan:?
"What's wrong?" She couldn't help but raise her voice.
"It's a great win." Scaro held his chin and very calmly put down the fourteen cards in front of him.
Guan Hongyan looked at the cards, then looked at him, her eyes full of confusion.
"Like I said," Skao nodded, "I'm lucky."
Perhaps because of Zheng Tan's existence, he did not say that his fixed attribute was koi, but said that he was lucky.
Guan Hongyan: ???
She knew that Scarao's fixed attribute was Koi, but there had been no performance in all these days. In addition, Scarao himself seemed to be in control of the situation very well, so she thought that Scarao did not become a special team member by relying on his fixed attribute, but on his brain or something else.
She never expected that the fixed attribute of Koi could be used in this way???
The comments on the barrage were also shocked:
【ah? ? ? 】
[Is this a bit too outrageous, brother?]
[Although the coin last time was shocking enough, but the Tianhu is also outrageous! ]
[People who don't play mahjong ask what Tianhu means. ]
[The probability of winning with the 14 cards you draw at the beginning is about one in 300,000.]
[That is]
[Cheating, huh?]
【I was stunned.】
【Just shut it down, it's boring. 】
…
There were shocking words on the barrage, and on the screen below the barrage, Guan Hongyan was also doubting her life.
She didn't believe it, so she played poker with Scarao. The opponent started with a big king, a small king, and four twos.
She was eager to try, and guessed the size with Scario. No matter what the other party guessed, it would be correct.
"Who will win if you and Yun Guang play cards?" She couldn't help but ask after losing again.
"Skao," Yun Guang said before Skao could answer, "I'm just counting cards. I can't rule out the possibility of getting a bad hand at the start."
Guan Hongyan: ...
"Don't play anymore," she said, pushing Scario off the table. "Zheng Tan, do you know how to play mahjong?"
Zheng Tan was about to answer when he heard a very obvious gunshot from upstairs, followed by a series of very hurried footsteps.
The exploration team members, who had been so happy and peaceful just now, immediately raised their heads and looked towards the stairs.
The atmosphere on the barrage suddenly became tense.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in the end they were almost stumbling down. As the sound got closer, Secretary Xiao Mi's face finally appeared in front of everyone.
But compared to her previous calmness or entanglement, her face was now pale.
"What's wrong?" Ling Dai looked at everyone and went up to support her. "Someone is chasing you?"
Someone is chasing her with a gun, can Secretary Xiao Mi still run away?
The corridors of the castle are winding, and the layout of the other end can be seen directly from one end of the corridor. As the saying goes, a gun is fast within ten steps, and a gun is accurate and fast beyond ten steps. If Xiao Mi is chased by someone with a gun, there is no way she can escape.
Unless the person opposite you is a master of body outlining.
Or is he the kind of outline master who has run out of energy?
Ling Dai's mind went into a circle, not knowing what was going on upstairs. However, there was no other sound coming from the stairs, so she pretended to be nervous and asked, "Is it upstairs..."
Everyone can see that one of Ronghua and Fu Gui will die today, but no one knows who it will be.
It was normal for Secretary Xiao Mi to turn pale when she suddenly saw the corpse.
"Who died?" Zheng Tan asked more directly.
According to his observation, among this group of people, only Zhang San and Li Si have armed forces. If Ronghua dies, then the Li Si she brought with her would be like someone else accidentally killing his employer. If this news gets out, it will be a devastating blow to Li Si's future career, not to mention the Rong family, which made its fortune in an illegitimate way. Maybe Li Si is not a bodyguard hired later, but a member of Ronghua's family...
After seeing Ronghua dead, it is possible that Li Si might become confused and want to kill other people to silence them.
If only Fu Gui died, it would be safer. Ronghua is not the kind of person who would be so cruel as to kill all the people. Besides, everyone has seen her weakness a few days ago. She is simply soft-hearted and does not respond to hard tactics.
While Xiao Mi was organizing her words, several mid-level players had already run upstairs. By the time Xiao Mi had caught her breath, Qiao Youlin had also run back and forth: "They're all dead."
"Ronghua and Fu Gui together?"
Zheng Tan had a look of shock on his face, but he was secretly delighted in his heart. The progress was so fast?
Since both sides are dead, Li Si probably figured out that it was Zhang San who killed his employer. If he goes crazy again, he will probably target Zhang San first. In the eyes of the other party, they are just passers-by and onlookers, so there should be no problem for a short time.
"No..." Qiao Youlin's face was very strange, "When I said they were all dead, I meant Ronghua and Fu Gui... uh, and Zhang San and Li Si are all dead."
This time Zheng Tan was really shocked.
The deaths of Ronghua and Fu Gui were expected, but what happened to Zhang San and Li Si?
Bai Jinshu's eyelids twitched slightly.
What's going on with Zhang San and Li Si?
He originally thought that tonight would be the day when Zhang San would try to kill Ronghua, but would be caught on the spot by Li Si who was protecting Ronghua, and then Fu Gui would die at the hands of Ronghua. But now it seems that the situation tonight is even more complicated than he thought?
As everyone walked upstairs, a strong smell of blood immediately spread in everyone's mind.
Ronghua Fu Gui's room was quite far away, but the bodies of Zhang San and Li Si appeared in the corridor.
Now there is no need to look at the bodies or search for evidence. Ronghua was killed by Zhang San, and Fu Gui was killed by Li Si. This is almost the answer in front of us.
It can be said that this couple had the same idea. They both thought that the other party would wait until late at night to make a move, so they both planned to strike first. So Zhang San and Li Si exchanged homes as a sign of friendship.
As for Zhang San and Li Si...
Bai Jinshu squatted down and lifted Zhang San's head with a napkin.
Zhang San’s chest, a very standard gun muzzle.
This kind of shape can only be achieved by close-range shooting. How close? Basically, it's close to the chest.
If Zhang San didn't trust the other person very much or he no longer had the strength to do so, he probably wouldn't let anyone get so close to him.
Combined with the sound of the gunshot, it is not difficult to guess that it must be closely related to the wound on his chest.
Li Si should have been killed by Zhang San. The bodies of the two men were far away from each other, and Li Si did not have a gun in his hand.
So there were only five people upstairs at the time. Ronghua and Fu Gui must have died earlier than Zhang San and Li Si, and Li Si did not have a gun. There are only two possibilities in this situation.
After Li Si and Zhang San died together, the secretary Xiao Mi took the gun away, or Li Si died earlier than Zhang San, and Xiao Mi used her identity as Fu Gui's secretary to make the seriously injured Zhang San think that he was one of her own. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mi turned around and killed Zhang San directly.
Judging from the results of the bodies of Zhang San and Li Si, Bai Jinshu is more inclined to the second one.
However, Secretary Xiao Mi had already begun to exaggerate in the first direction. After all, she was the only one upstairs at the time, so she could say whatever she wanted. Even the exploration team members didn't seem to believe her.
Originally, only two people could have died that night, but after her intervention, four people died upstairs. Originally, they could have cheated each other for two or three days, but now it was a quick victory.
Bai Jinshu didn't know what other people were thinking, but Zheng Tan looked like he was about to laugh out loud.
As an experienced worker who had been in prison twice, he of course knew that he could leave here when only one person was left. On the surface, all the deaths this time had nothing to do with him from beginning to end. He only needed to hold up his identity as Zheng Tan and survive until the end and he could leave. It was naturally very easy.
But Bai Jinshu didn't want him to be so relaxed.
Zheng Tan doesn't look like the organizer who gathered everyone here.
There was no other reason, it was just that this man didn't seem to have any strong murderous intent towards the guests, except for the architect at the beginning. He was not surprised by the subsequent infighting among the guests, but seemed surprised by the information they revealed.
This shows that he hasn't heard much of this information.
How could someone who doesn't know these inside stories bring them together and design such an ingenious interpersonal relationship structure?
This person might have come in by mistake, or he was also pulled in by the organizer.
There were still several hours before dawn, and the wind and snow were still howling outside. Secretary Xiao Mi finished making up a lie that no one believed except herself, and she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she thought she had accomplished her mission and could retire.
Xiao Mi... doesn't look like an organizer who knows how to leave here.
The death of Zhang San and Li Si tonight seemed to be a spur-of-the-moment decision, and Scarao, who knew the mentality of such people very well, immediately discovered that something was wrong.
The rated time of this space is ten days, and only one person will survive in the end, so according to the rules, only one person can die every night.
Zheng Ju’s death could be said to be an accident that was disrupted by the intervention of other people, because after just a few hours, the pattern returned to normal: Wang En died at night.
This means that the other party still wants to maintain this pattern and rhythm.
So Wang En and Zheng Ju died on the same day as a couple, and Rong Hua and Fu Gui naturally also died on the same day as a couple.
For this kind of obsessive murderer, this sense of ritual is a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. If this person has been controlling the rhythm of these guests killing each other or correcting each other from beginning to end, he would not allow something that breaks the rules to happen, such as four deaths in one night.
In this case, it is particularly strange that four people died in one night, one of whom was killed by the organizer himself.
If Secretary Xiao Mi was the organizer and knew how to leave here, her choice should be to kill everyone directly with the gun that killed Zhang San. Not to mention whether the exploration team members would find various ways to avoid the bullets, from a normal person's point of view, in a closed environment, thermal weapons are simply invincible.
She didn't choose to kill anyone else, and even acted like she was relieved. Could it be that... she didn't know that the end would only end when only one person was left to die?
In other words, could it be that she was not the organizer in the beginning?
The original organizer may have been gone before Wang Enzhengju's death.
And the person who continues to preside over this situation is an insider.
Bai Jinshu thought for a moment and winked at Guan Hongyan, asking her to move aside a little.
"Strange, didn't Xiao Shu tell you before he died?" His voice suddenly sounded.
Secretary Xiao Mi paused, then looked confused: "What are you talking about?"
"After all the people related to her are dead..." Bai Jinshu raised his eyes, "How are we going to leave here?"
Looking at the expression in secretary Xiao Mi's eyes that was well concealed but still revealed some of her emotions, Bai Jinshu curled the corners of his mouth in his heart.
really.
The organizer is Xiao Shu.
But she died early on the second night after entering the castle.
This is the reason why the order of death in this copy did not follow a regular pattern every night, and four people suddenly died tonight.
Because as an insider, Xiao Mi only wants to complete Xiao Shu's goal, but doesn't know how to leave here.
She may only know that this place is a good place for revenge, and she also knows who Xiao Shu wants to take revenge on, but she doesn't know that the way to leave here is to die alone.
The author has something to say:
Fang Shaoning killed the dungeon boss alone on the second day. He defeated the master with random punches.
Report the progress of the illustration function. Hantang has seven pictures available for upload, two of Xiao Chao and two of Xiao Ao. A late-stage dungeon vest is still on the waiting list, and the release date is very far away. There is also a Xiao Chu. If the final picture does not need to be deducted, it will be released tomorrow, so if there are no accidents, it will be available immediately. It’s just that the upload needs to be reviewed, and I don’t know how long it will take (sigh)
