The corridor was dark, and Lin Mo hid in the darkness, thinking.
From the note obtained from the Joker's fortune-telling machine, it can be seen that he is playing the role of a crazy and brutal perverted murderer.
The current goal is to kill Dr. Zhang Jianhong who is about to arrive here.
This is the superficial clue.
Any normal person can understand this.
But Lin Mo calls himself a high-end player, and he is actually a recognized game master. No matter how approachable he appears to be, he still has the arrogance of a master.
The so-called "expert" is someone who stands out from the crowd and is different from ordinary people.
Lin Mo studied the note again.
He found a little detail.
The first is the length of the note.
After unfolding it, it is more than two fingers wide and a palm long, and the words on it only take up less than half of the note. It feels like a little more can be written.
Is this a coincidence, or is there other information that is not written down?
There is also text similar to task prompts.
The sentence "In a madness, you decided to set a trap and continue your night of killing" seems fine at first glance, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that it is a bit inconsistent with the character that the Joker Diviner has set for himself.
What is Lin Mo's current personality? You are a pervert, a monster.
This can be seen from this sentence.
Since he is so perverted and a monster, is it necessary to set a 'trap' to kill him? It feels a bit too low.
Very low-end.
Shouldn't it be described as using the axe in your hand to smash the opponent's head? Of course, strictly speaking, this may just be a description and metaphor, but Lin Mo thinks there is something wrong with it.
He thought of a possibility.
A very important function of traps is to assist hunting.
If the hunter can kill the prey easily, why bother setting a trap? Only when you are not sure.
"Does that mean I'm weak?" Lin Mo waved the axe in his hand. To be honest, the monster character he was playing now was not particularly strong except for its ugly appearance.
Very skinny.
He's a bit skinny and doesn't seem to have much strength.
The first time Lin Mo played the role of a woman, didn’t she drag this perverted monster in and beat him to death?
So this body is indeed not strong.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the other party, Dr. Zhang Jianhong, is very strong.
Lin Mo felt that this matter should be clarified.
Now that you have discovered the suspicious point, you should start from this suspicious point.
So Lin Mo thought about it, turned around, and went back to the small house.
"I'm back again." Lin Mo said to the clown fortune-telling machine.
Because of the experience from last time, Lin Mo was a lot more relaxed this time, but the axe in his hand was still in a posture ready to attack at any time.
That is to say, it is hidden behind you, and if you think the situation is not right, you can swing it and chop it.
But the clown in the glass window didn't move.
No reaction at all.
Lin Mo tried to press the red button in front.
There was no movement.
I remembered that the Clown Fortune Telling Machine said before that the first fortune telling is free, but the second time will be charged.
In other words, the other party didn't respond because he didn't give money?
Lin Mo noticed that there was a coin slot on the fortune-telling machine.
That is, coins are needed.
Lin Mo pushed the door open and went out to look for him.
We have to hurry.
Since the Clown Divination Machine can perform a second divination, it is very likely that the second divination will provide other information, which may be useful key clues.
Of course we have to seize this.
Lin Mo felt that the twenty minutes before Dr. Zhang Jianhong arrived was a very important period of time.
Perhaps it is directly related to whether you can complete this game.
The woman’s bedroom had been searched previously, but nothing was found, nor were any coins found.
In addition to the small room with the clown fortune-telling machine, there are two other rooms on both sides of the corridor, one of which is locked and inaccessible, but the other can be entered.
It looks like another bedroom.
Lin Mo stood at the door and didn't go in immediately.
"That woman isn't the only one living in this house!" Lin Mo realized this.
If a woman lives alone, she generally won't live in a two-bedroom house. In most cases, she will convert the empty room into an activity room, yoga room, or study.
I listened at the door but heard no noise, so I squatted down and touched the carpet and found bloodstains and signs of dragging.
Lin Mo, on the contrary, understood something, took the axe and walked in tentatively.
Because he just remembered.
The woman before had hacked a man to death.
Maybe that man is the owner of this bedroom.
It is even possible that the relationship between the man and the woman is not ordinary.
Otherwise how can we live under the same roof.
The woman dragged the body away before, and most likely hid it in this room.
In other words, there should be only one body here.
The room was dark, but Lin Mo didn't dare turn on the light because turning on the light was a taboo in this game scene.
Lin Mo found the body.
Wrapped in a bed sheet, he placed it directly on the ground. He touched it and found that the blood had soaked through the bed sheet. The person was also cold. However, Lin Mo found a pocket flashlight on the table next to him.
This is a big gain.
Definitely a useful prop.
However, Lin Mo was also afraid that turning on the flashlight would trigger a taboo.
But after careful analysis, Lin Mo felt that it should not be the case.
Tried it.
It turned out that everything was fine.
Because it is a pocket flashlight, the light is not very bright. At most, it is enough for people to see clearly, but it is very helpful for finding things next time.
Lin Mo quickly discovered a work ID card on the table next to him.
I picked it up and looked at it, and to my surprise, I found that it was a photo of another woman named Jia Xiaoying.
Lin Mo wondered, why is there another woman? Continue to explore.
Lin Mo looked at the bed, walked over, squatted, lowered his head, and checked under the bed.
When the pocket flashlight was shone downwards, a pale face was seen.
This sudden shock was quite powerful. A woman was lying under the bed, her head tilted to one side, her expression frozen, and she looked like she had been dead for a while.
The eyes were staring, with a lingering trace of fear and helplessness, as if accusing someone.
Lin Mo stared at the face.
The female corpse looked the same as the "Jia Xiaoying" on the work permit that was found earlier. They were obviously the same person. The body was dragged out and examined. There was one knife wound in the chest and two in the abdomen. Both were fatal.
Judging from the furnishings and style of this room, it is a woman's room.
Then, Lin Mo’s previous speculation is a little different.
Two women live together here.
And it was not a man and a woman as Lin Mo had previously speculated.
What is the man on the ground doing? It seemed that in the blink of an eye, there were already three bodies in this place.
There was 'Ms. Xu' who was strangled to death by Lin Mo, the unnamed man who was hacked to death by Ms. Xu, and 'Jia Xiaoying' who was stabbed to death in this room.
"Could it be that this man is a thief, and he sneaked in here at first and killed Jia Xiaoying, and then was killed by the violent Ms. Xu, and finally I, a perverted monster, broke in through the window and strangled Ms. Xu to death?"
Lin Mo sorted it out.
I feel that this possibility exists.
But not big.
At least he was hacked to death in a fight, rather than being hacked to death after being discovered while hiding under the bed.
It is definitely impossible to have no resistance at all.
Although Lin Mo did not see the process of Ms. Xu killing people clearly, he still saw and heard some of it. Anyway, this unknown man did not look like a criminal, but more like an innocent ordinary person.
Lin Mo also noticed that the man was actually only wearing his trousers.
What kind of criminal would wear only his trousers when committing a crime? It doesn't make sense.
"Could it be that this unnamed man was actually Jia Xiaoying's boyfriend? He came to see his girlfriend and planned to spend a romantic night together, but somehow he offended Ms. Xu. Ms. Xu is obviously mentally ill, otherwise she wouldn't have made an appointment to see a psychiatrist. So, it was Ms. Xu who was ill and brutally killed Jia Xiaoying and her boyfriend."
This reasoning is smoother.
And Lin Mo also found some supporting evidence.
For example, there are two pillows on the bed in this room, and men's clothes can be found on the clothes rack at the door.
Another thing is that the man was wearing slippers.
This can prove that the other party is not an outside intruder.
When the couple was being intimate, Ms. Xu suddenly broke in, pounced on them, and stabbed Jia Xiaoying in the stomach. The man was frightened, probably because he was timid and had never seen such a scene before, so driven by instinct and fear, he fled and hid under the bed in another bedroom, but he was still hacked to death.
"Why didn't he run away?"
Lin Mo walked out of the house, shone the light of a flashlight, crossed the living room, and found the front door.
After seeing it clearly, Lin Mo knew why the other party didn't run away.
Because I can't get out.
The door was locked from the inside with a chain.
There's no way out.
Lin Mo looked at the padlock, thought for a moment, took out the rusty key from his pocket, and tried to insert it.
Can be inserted.
Twist.
With a click.
The lock was opened.
Lin Mo thought about it and a possibility came to his mind.
This perverted monster himself is in cahoots with Ms. Xu.
Otherwise, how could the key be in the possession of this perverted monster?
This was clearly a premeditated, targeted killing.
"If I don't open the door, people outside can't get in. In other words, whether to kill Dr. Zhang Jianhong next depends on my choice."
Lin Mo realized this.
The Joker's Divination Machine gives guidance for game-like tasks.
However, the authenticity and reliability of this guidance is questionable, because no one can be sure that you can pass the customs by following this guidance.
Or even just unlocking the next level of game content.
This is a three-bedroom, one-living room house. Apart from the dead Ms. Xu, the nameless man and Jia Xiaoying, there is no one else. Lin Mo looked around and found two coins.
The props that have been collected include a rusty key (the place where the key is used is already known), a miniature flashlight, a bloody axe, a bloody knife, Zhang Jianhong's business card, two unknown pills in Ms. Xu's pocket, and finally two coins.
The sharp knife was found on Jia Xiaoying's stomach, and the murderer did not pull it out after killing her.
The two coins are 'currency' type items, and the user should be on the Joker Fortune Telling Machine to get more 'hints'.
This is the situation at this stage.
Lin Mo looked at the incoming call time on the phone and compared it with the clock on the wall. He knew that Dr. Zhang would be here in ten minutes.
It seems that there are only two things Lin Mo can do now.
One is to use two coins and see what new clues the Joker's fortune telling machine can give.
Another option is to follow the mission instructions, choose to let Dr. Zhang in after a while and kill him; or lock the door, don't open it even if the other party knocks, and give up this hunt.
But in fact, Lin Mo has a third option.
That's now open the door and get out of here.
This is the simplest.
But in Lin Mo's opinion, this is also the most dangerous and unpredictable option.
Given the deceptive nature of this game, if you really do this, it is likely to trigger new taboos.
To verify, Lin Mo really opened the lock, pushed the door open and looked outside.
It wasn't completely dark outside, but it was pitch black. That kind of thick darkness was obviously abnormal. What was even more abnormal was the danger hidden inside. Lin Mo was sure that if he went out, he would die miserably.
“So this game is called Death Chamber.”
In short, the goal is to prevent participants from leaving 'alive'.
Lin Mo was sitting on the sofa at the moment, and he had to make a decision quickly.
In less than a minute, Lin Mo had a novel idea.
Standing up and walking back to the bedroom, Lin Mo dragged out the three bodies and put them into the small room.
It seems that the Clown Fortune Telling Machine does not require any operation for the first fortune telling, and it is free. The target only needs to stand in front of the fortune telling machine.
In that case, let’s see if the three corpses can trigger the divination.
I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
This operation is really basic for a gamer like Lin Mo and is not difficult.
"Hey, big brother, please wait a moment. Ladies are welcome first." Lin Mo said to the nameless man, then looked at Ms. Xu and Jia Xiaoying.
"How about letting Xiaoying go first? After all, she was the first to die."
Lin Mo talked to himself and picked up Jia Xiaoying.
The corpse tilted its head with empty eyes and waited for a while in front of the clown fortune-telling machine.
Finally, the clown in the glass window moved.
The clown looked up, the quill in his hand moved, and then he said, "I know you, the seemingly innocent woman!"
After that, he used the feather pen in his hand to write a few words on a piece of paper, and then said: "I have written your fate on the paper. The first time is free, and the next time... oh, hehe, you are dead, there will be no next time."
After a strange laugh, the clown lowered his head and stood motionless as if the power was cut off.
And the note came out from the window where notes were ejected.
Lin Mo picked it up and took a look.
"Green Tea Bitch, you are already dead. You like to play with people's feelings and are good at deceiving others, so when you get backlash, don't be unwilling to accept it. You deserve to die."
That’s all.
There is very little content.
But there are several clear positioning.
In other words, Jia Xiaoying does not seem to be an innocent victim, and there may be other hidden stories behind her death.
"Then whose feelings did you play with?" Lin Mo muttered, put Jia Xiaoying aside, and picked up Ms. Xu again.
"It's your turn this time."
The situation is the same as before, but the clown calls Ms. Xu: poor lunatic.
The note read: The illness tortures you, but what makes you more desperate is the deception and betrayal. In fact, you can live a little easier as long as you abandon the so-called human nature and kill yourself. I am very glad that you did it.
This paragraph obviously contains more content.
And it is worth thinking about and further research.
Lin Mo did not stand still. While thinking, he picked up the nameless man.
The Joker calls him: scumbag.
"People who like to think with their lower body deserve to die."
That’s all.
The divination by the nameless man is the shortest, but although the words are few, the content is heavy.
Lin Mo looked at these three people. One was a green tea bitch, one was a pitiful lunatic, and one was a scumbag.
He discovered that he was wrong.
The nameless man and Jia Xiaoying may not be a couple.
It is possible that he and Ms. Xu are a couple.
But in the end, the other party betrayed Ms. Xu and got together with Jia Xiaoying, so words like "deception" and "betrayal" appeared.
