Chapter 323: Inhuman (131) [VIP]
In the darkness, only the screen of the mobile phone that fell to the ground was flickering, illuminating a small area of the surrounding ground.
——Xiaoying’s cell phone.
The phone screen was broken, the left half was completely black, and the right half was flickering. Without thinking too much, the object that fell just now was most likely her phone.
Hebiscus raised his wrist and swept the purple light around. Under the weak light of the purple light, there was a fluorescent yellow on all four wrists. The two Hong Conghuas were close to each other on the ground, as if they had fallen together, and Nian Yu was on the left and right, all staring at each other vigilantly.
Xiaoying was stunned as she looked at the two Hong Conghua and two Nianyu in front of her. She subconsciously grabbed the yellow-haired man's arm that was closest to her and said, "What should we do now?"
The fluorescent powder they used for marking was actually on all four people’s hands!
"Separate the four of them first." Bai Jinshu thought for a moment and said immediately, "Don't say anything first, separate them first."
In the current situation, it is basically impossible to separate them with external force. The six of them were just guests who met by chance. They stayed together for such a long time just for the purpose of recording the show. They don’t know each other well, and there is no secret that only they know to prove their identity.
However, seeking off-site assistance, such as calling the relatives and friends of Hong Conghua and Nian Yu to ask them to verify their identities, is not very reliable.
After all, Bai Jinshu still suspects that all of them are not who they think they are, and they are all experimenters who have been instilled with the memories of others.
If we use the criteria of "Is it Nian Yu?" and "Is it Hong Conghua?" to identify them, we might even screen out the two real people.
But if you insist that it is impossible to identify, there is a way. The imitation will disappear after ten minutes of death. This is the most effective way to judge, which means hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by a thousand.
As long as he was not mentally ill, he would not stab someone to death on the spot and then determine whether the survivor was real or fake by observing whether her body disappeared.
He just wanted to get rid of these imitations, he was not a serial killer, so this method was obviously impossible.
After all, if the judgment is wrong, people cannot come back to life.
In order to find out what's going on with them and where this place is, we must at least ensure that all six "experimenters" who are currently under suspicion survive.
There are four people here, Hong Conghua, Nian Yu and their imitations, so there are four people in total, which is just right for each person to be responsible for one.
Nianyu's own combat power is much lower than Hong Conghua's, so Bai Jinshu gave it to Xiaoying and Herbisk without any explanation, while he and Huangmao each took on one Hong Conghua.
After all four people were assigned, Bai Jinshu said, "Okay, tell me what happened to that 'who' just now."
Just now, Hong Conghua shouted "who" from upstairs, and everyone came up from below.
"Yeah," Huangmao paused, scratched his head and said in disbelief, "How did they get up here? I didn't see them..."
Just now, the four of them were in the room on the first floor. Although the door of Herbisk's room was at the edge of the entire living room, it was right in front of the main door, so he could see everyone entering and leaving the main door.
Bai Jinshu originally ordered Nian Yu and Hong Conghua to go upstairs because he suspected that the two of them were imitations and did not dare to take action on the first floor. After all, judging from the scenes of the first two murders, these A-grade people had no concept of how to deal with corpses, otherwise the first two murders would not have been discovered directly.
The first floor is where the entire crew records the show. There may be people in every corner during the day. If someone is killed here, the staff will definitely find the body the next day. Even if it is handled well, there will be bloodstains, not to mention that there are a lot of cameras here. Who knows if they will accidentally touch any of them during the fight.
Even if they act like the characters really well, they will be in a lot of trouble once this video comes out.
Apart from anything else, the wife and children in Tiangao Haikuo were recorded as dead by the police because their bodies were found. This is why the A-lister who has replaced them is unable to take a plane and can only use a private plane to leave the island.
Therefore, Bai Jinshu suspected that the two fakes had not appeared yet because they were waiting for Hong Conghua and the others to go upstairs to some places that the program staff did not often go to before they took action. There was no recording space on the second and third floors. In addition to the guest bedrooms, the other rooms had become storage rooms. Because it was troublesome to move things up and down the stairs, most of the things placed there were not usually used.
If few people go there, no one will notice it. So even if some clues are left behind, the staff will not pay much attention to them.
After all, the time they chose was just after nine o'clock in the evening, which was when the sun had set for a while, the temperature had dropped a lot, and the evening breeze was just right.
The road outside was filled with tourists coming and going. If they didn't take action inside the villa, they would have no chance to do so after the two men left.
The villa is their only chance to take action. If those two imitations still want to kill them and replace them, now is the best time.
So after Hong Conghua and Nian Yu went upstairs, Bai Jinshu and the other three squatted in Herbisk's room, watching the gate of the villa all the time.
But the strange thing was that until Hong Conghua uttered that hurried "Who", no one else walked into the villa door.
The two replicas appeared directly on the second floor of the villa.
The more troublesome problem is obviously not how they appeared on the second floor, but the different statements of the two parties.
"Just now, Nianyu and I felt someone behind us not long after we came up, but we looked back several times and didn't see anyone," Nianyu naturally couldn't answer them. Hong Conghua next to Bai Jinshu spoke directly, "When we got to the second floor, someone suddenly rushed up and tried to attack me. Before I could react, the phone in my pocket was thrown out."
She glanced at the broken phone on the ground and said, "By the time I reacted, it had already knocked me to the ground, and the phone was thrown out as well."
"Where's Nianyu?" Xiaoying asked with concern, "Which Nianyu is the one who went up with you?"
"I don't know." Hong Conghua beside Bai Jinshu shrugged and looked at the other two Nianyu. "After I shouted who, my phone flew away. When I raised my head again, two Nianyu had appeared and you were already upstairs."
"It's just a short sentence, but it's full of loopholes," the other Hong Conghua nudged his forehead and looked at the others, "After the two of us went upstairs, we saw a figure in the darkness. I shouted for safety, but you guys rushed over to me. When I looked up and got closer, I found out that you were two fakes."
"That one is Nian Yu," she pointed directly at the Nian Yu next to Herbisk, "the other one is fake."
Bai Jinshu tilted his head slightly and looked at Herbisk, and both of them saw the same look in each other's eyes.
"We can't tell what you're saying," Huang Mao muttered, "Now the question is where did the fluorescent powder on the other two people's hands come from? Did they apply it themselves? Were they in the living room when we were discussing this?"
Unless someone happened to hear them discussing countermeasures or making marks at the time, how could they know since the fluorescent powder has no color after leaving the ultraviolet lamp?
This thing had pretended to be someone else and mixed in with the staff?
Or maybe someone in the staff had already been replaced by it, but no one knew it.
"No!" After being reminded by him, Xiaoying looked at the hands of several people and suddenly shouted, "That fluorescent light!"
"What fluorescent light?" Bai Jinshu turned his head slightly, "What they have? Is there any problem?"
After Huangmao said this, he also began to recall who was next to the guests when they were talking on the sofa. After recalling over and over again, the only person who might have heard them talking was the assistant director Xiaofeng.
After all, when the filming was over, the staff on the scene each had their own things to do, and the area where they were sitting was a fixed filming point by the program crew. There wasn't much to move, and generally speaking, the staff wouldn't get close.
The only one who comes here frequently is assistant Xiao Feng.
Bai Jinshu originally suspected that this thing could only target a certain imitation object in the crowd and imitate it alone, but if what they said during the day was heard by others, then either there was some kind of mutual cooperation between these A-goods, and those A-goods who replaced the staff heard their plans, so they informed the two imitations who tried to replace Hong Conghua and Nian Yu.
This means that the person who heard them talking and the one who appeared here now are two different people.
That is the direction of their initial suspicion, that everyone who produced counterfeit products was targeted one-on-one.
Or is it that the number of these imitations is not as large as they thought? Or are the imitations of their products the same batch of fakes?
"The traces of fluorescent powder... are the same!" Xiaoying stared at the two people for a long time, stretched out her hand to take the light from Herbisks, shone it for a long time, and finally frowned and said, "When I was applying fluorescent powder to the chopped green onions, my hand slipped."
It accidentally got on Hong Conghua's clothes.
Now, under the illumination of the ultraviolet light, the same, lighter fingerprint appeared on the inside of Hong Conghua's clothes.
"Are you sure?" Herbisk frowned.
"Sure," Xiaoying nodded, "It was because the chopped green onion got on my clothes the first time that I was so careful the second time I applied it to Nianyu."
After all, this thing is easier to wash off when applied to the skin, but it may not be the same when applied to clothes.
The same marks appeared on both Hong Conghua's bodies. Huangmao pinched his nose and said what everyone present was thinking: "Damn... is this a ghost?"
Could it be that these things don't think they are exactly the same as them and are trying to replace them, but that all traces of the original body, including clothing and the fluorescent powder that was accidentally smeared on them, will appear on them?
He knew from the beginning that the existence of the imitation was not very scientific. After all, if this thing was scientific, it would not be possible for it to disappear within just a dozen minutes after being killed. They suspected from the beginning that this thing was abnormal.
But it’s not that scientific…
Even in a laboratory, it is impossible to achieve this level. This is beyond his understanding and is close to that of ghosts and gods.
Among the two Hong Conghuas present, there must be a fake pair, but the problem is that the two sides currently lack a fundamental way to distinguish between the real and the fake, and no one will admit who is the fake.
However, this interruption reminded Bai Jinshu of something else.
Nian Yu and Hong Conghua had a trick up their sleeve. Before leaving the villa at night, they changed the fingerprint unlocking and facial unlocking of their mobile phones and also changed their passwords.
As long as this thing doesn't replicate their cognition one-to-one, or copy their memory, whoever can unlock the phone is the real one.
"I have a verified..." Before Bai Jin could finish his words, Hong Conghua next to the yellow-haired man suddenly turned around, and a knife appeared in his hand.
Another Nianyu also suddenly attacked.
The visibility here was already low, and the people were in a mess and couldn't react. Fortunately, everyone was prepared. Bai Jinshu didn't even call Cen Bingqi and the others to come out. He just kicked in the direction of Hong Conghua according to the position of the last remaining yellow-haired man in his sight.
He seemed to kick something, but at the same time there was the sound of a knife entering flesh.
With a "hiss" sound, everyone's sensitive nerves were aroused at once.
“Fuck!” The yellow-haired guy shouted, his voice full of energy, it didn’t sound like anything had happened.
The lights on the second floor of the villa also lit up.
Someone turned on the light.
In the long-lost light, everyone saw Huangmao's face full of shock. In front of him, another "Hong Conghua" actually held his hand and put the knife into his body.
