After the second round of the ghost story game 'Devil's Window' ended, the butler led everyone back to the lobby on the first floor.
The remaining ten people sat down around yesterday's round table again.
Unlike before, the originally crowded round table now only has ten people sitting at it, making it seem particularly deserted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can take a short break. We will then enter the third round of our weird talk game."
The butler bowed to everyone and left the hall.
There were only ten Chosen Ones left in the hall. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
"Everyone, now each of us has at least four free points. Although only three people can complete the task in the end, we must not let that special chosen one complete the task.
I believe that you are all smart people and you already know that the way the special chosen one obtains free points is by robbing other people's free points.
So, I think we should work together to find that person first.”
The man named Chen Ye broke the silence.
After he spoke, no one paid attention to him. After more than ten seconds, Li Xin crossed his arms and said in a sarcastic tone: "Your name is Chen Ye, right? Don't you think you look like a clown?"
"You received two extra free points in the first round of the ghost story game. Among the ten of us, you now have the most free points.
Even a fool would know that the fact that you can raise this point of view is that you are afraid that a special chosen one will specifically target you.
Because if you want to snatch the freedom points, you have to take the risk of exposing your identity. Any normal person knows that since it will be exposed sooner or later, you must first snatch the person with the most freedom points.
You are now the one with the most freedom points and are being targeted by the special chosen one. You just want to use us to help you find the special chosen one.
Knowing the identity of the special chosen one will keep you on your toes. Do you think we are idiots?"
After Li Xin finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ye teasingly.
Her words directly exposed Chen Ye's intention. Chen Ye's expression was very embarrassed and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Chi Mu's eyes twitched, but he tried hard to suppress his smile.
It seems that Chen Ye has no brains at all except for being lucky.
He asked everyone to find the special chosen one first. Isn't his intention a little too obvious?
Does Chen Ye think everyone here is a fool?
“Haha, Chen Ye, you are really stupid, you were able to get those two free points only because of good luck.
I think if you stay alone again, you will definitely be robbed of your freedom points and then killed..."
The man named Zhang Chen also spoke, his cold voice full of sarcasm.
With Li Xin and Zhang Chen taking the lead, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Ye.
For a time, Chen Ye became a clown in everyone's eyes.
"You, you guys... Humph! Even if you don't find this special chosen one, that person will sooner or later covet the freedom points of the rest of you.
Even if he takes away the free points I have now, he will not be able to accumulate 20 free points to restore his status, so he will continue to steal.
Why don't you want to join me in finding that bastard?"
Chen Ye was a little anxious.
This time, no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone can see that Chen Ye is a complete idiot.
But the more this happened, the more Chi Mu felt something was wrong. Could this Chen Ye be so stupid?
The probability of surviving two rounds of the game is not very high. In the last round, it didn’t seem like Chen Ye survived solely by luck.
So, it is very likely that he found a way to determine the safety window on his own.
But his current words and actions are like those of an idiot. Could it be that he did this on purpose?
But what is the motive?
"Now there are only ten people left. We must remain vigilant against the other nine because anyone of them could be the special chosen one."
Chi Mu frowned slightly, thinking constantly in his mind.
Now there are two possibilities.
First, the special chosen one had died in the last round of the "Devil's Window" ghost story game, and there was no special chosen one among the ten people who were still alive.
So you don’t have to worry about your free points being taken away.
The second possibility is that the special chosen one is still alive, hiding among the other nine people. Although he looks no different from the others, he is secretly thinking about whose freedom he will snatch.
Chi Mu looked around. Among the remaining chosen ones, there were three women, including Li Xin, and the remaining six were all men.
Chen Ye and another short man didn't seem to have much fighting ability, while the other four looked quite strong.
Assuming that the special chosen one is one of the three women, then her first target will definitely be Chen Ye.
Because there is no difference between Chen Ye and the short man, but Chen Ye has more freedom, so robbing him is the best choice.
But if the special chosen one is among those four strong men, the three women, Chen Ye and the short man are all his targets.
To take a step back, Chi Mu is also the first consideration, because Chi Mu is not very strong.
"Haha, this isn't game time. We finally have the chance to move around the castle freely, but you're sitting here like fools, wasting time."
Zhang Chen stood up, glanced at everyone, sneered, and then left the hall.
After hearing what Zhang Chen said, everyone realized that now was free time, but it did not count as non-game time. In theory, now was the only time they could move freely in the castle.
"Now is the best time to look for that owl!"
Chi Mu was startled and quickly stood up, intending to look for the owl in the castle.
In his opinion, the talking owl was crucial.
If you can find it, you may get some free points or other important clues.
After Chi Mu left, everyone stood up and searched around the castle.
Because there is only one talking owl, whoever finds it first will have the advantage.
During the search, Chi Mu found a very old wooden box in a corner. After he opened it, he found an undamaged pocket watch inside.
"It's just right. I can use it to check the time and keep a sense of time."
Chi Mu was delighted and started walking around the castle with pocket watch in his hand.
The first floor was very empty. After inspecting several rooms he had not been to, Chi Mu planned to go upstairs to take a look.
After passing the second floor, he looked up and was shocked to find that the castle was six stories high!
