Chapter 29.
Mike's story was cut short, and the cause of its death was summarized in just three sentences. It seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing.
How can we solve this problem?
Su Xiao wrinkled his beautiful nose and asked unwillingly, "Have you seen the murderer who killed you?"
Mike said nothing, and the sheriff simply ignored her question and said, "Please let the suspect speak."
A tall and thin man next to Mike stepped forward. He had a short blond haircut and five or six metal rings on his very Western face. They would tinkle if he moved the slightest.
"My name is Matt. I once robbed Mike on his way home from get off work. After Mike died, I was accused of murdering Mark, but I was wrongly accused."
Matt did say a little more this time, but there wasn't much useful information.
This time Chen Feiluan spoke up: "How do you prove that you are innocent?"
Matt said nothing.
At this time, the sheriff had already allowed the last person to speak according to the procedure.
"My name is Brooke. I once robbed Mike on his way home from get off work. After Mike died, I was accused of murdering Mark, but I was innocent."
The third person's words were almost a copy and paste of Matt's, except for the different name, and this shattered the last bit of hope.
After the victim and the suspect finished their stories, the sheriff concluded: "Please note that the suspect may be lying. Now, detectives, please identify the murderer. The time limit is 30 minutes."
Several people looked at each other with serious expressions. They realized that this copy was beginning to show murderous intent.
If we go by the copy description, this is really a standard reasoning and crime-solving game, then as long as your IQ is up to par, there is no difficulty at all.
But the current direction of events is such that there is no way to solve the case!
Someone tried to ask the three men for further details, but they stood motionless on the podium like puppets whose battery had run out.
At this moment, time is passing by every second.
Wilder, who was sitting at one end of the long table, looked at the sheriff and suddenly asked, "What happens if the identification is wrong?"
The sheriff gave an unexpected response to his question.
Its strange, cloudy grey eyes stared at Wilder, earning him a smile in return.
After a few breaths, the sheriff uttered four words, "Whoever points the finger shall die."
An invisible pressure quietly loomed over the seven people. This so-called case was simply impossible to solve in a conventional way.
The copy has been completely exposed. If they can't find a way out, they can only push an unlucky guy out to die.
No one present was stupid, so everyone naturally thought of this.
Luo Ping took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Choose one from the three. Who will come?"
After that, everyone fell silent.
The accuracy rate is 30%, but if you make the wrong choice, you will inevitably face death.
No one knows how he died, and what role does the sheriff who has been watching everyone from beginning to end play?
Each of the seven people has only one chance to identify, which means that everyone will inevitably face a life or death choice.
This is only the first day, and obviously no one wants to be the first to take action.
Just when a few people were weighing in their minds who would be the unlucky guy, they noticed that Ning Xuanqing raised his hand.
"I'll identify it." She spoke briefly, and her clear voice trembled slightly, which exposed the fear in her heart.
Ning Xuanqing was indeed very scared because everything she did was not voluntary and it was obvious that Ma Kangning was using hypnosis to control her.
He wanted Ning Xuanqing to die, but Ning Xuanqing, without any mental defense items, couldn't even put up the slightest resistance.
She tried hard to turn her eyes to look at Ma Kangning, and saw that he was looking at her with a hideous smile on his face.
Ma Kangning stared at Ning Xuanqing as if he were a dead person. He was thinking about the task that the boss had assigned to him this time.
That Li Jia has only awakened a useless skill, and she has no powerful items to defend herself. Even though she has only entered a D-level single-player dungeon, it should be enough to take her life.
Now, as long as he can control Ning Xuanqing to a dead end, he will have completed the mission. With Wilde in this copy, the chances of passing it will be very high.
No one else noticed what Ma Kangning did. They just thought that Ning Xuanqing was a man of great skill and courage, and was willing to take the initiative to step forward and take the lead.
The sheriff also obviously noticed Ning Xuanqing. He stared at Ning Xuanqing with his cloudy eyes and said in a voice without any fluctuation: "Please testify."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ning Xuanqing's raised hand slowly straightened out, slid across the suspect and the victim, and finally pointed in the direction of the sheriff.
Seeing her actions, there were gasps of air from all around. Wilder frowned slightly. He looked at Ning Xuanqing and said with some disapproval: "Miss Ning, don't you think it through?"
Her behavior seemed outrageous in the eyes of several people. It was like doing a multiple-choice question with only ABCD as the answers, but she chose to fill in an obtuse angle.
The moment Ning Xuanqing saw her finger pointing at the sheriff, cold sweat instantly broke out. Because of fear, she felt as if her brain had been electrocuted, confused and numb.
Ma Kangning's extremely malicious chuckle came to her ears, as if sentencing her to death.
In an instant, the anger and unwillingness that surged in Ning Xuanqing's heart suppressed the fear, which made her suddenly discover the blind spot that she had overlooked.
The sense of crisis that I always feel when facing the threat of death did not appear, and my intuition did not give me any warning!
After Ning Xuanqing identified the police chief, no one heard any warning that he had made a wrong identification, and Ning Xuanqing remained safe and sound.
Could it be that...
A strange guess emerged in everyone's mind.
Then the sheriff gave the answer: "The identification is correct."
Amid the crowd's incredulous gazes, the sheriff began to tell its story.
"My name is Sheriff Weisz. One night when I was passing by an alley, I witnessed a robbery. I was about to shoot a warning shot, but I accidentally shot Mike."
Seven people: "......"
It wasn't until Weisz filled in the blanks in the story that everyone realized they had been misled from the beginning.
The first person to appear, Weisz, looked too much like an NPC who maintained order, so no one connected him with this case, which led to a blind spot in everyone's view of the case.
This is both reasonable and unexpected!
After Sheriff Weisz finished telling his story, he and Mike and his group walked towards the door they came from.
Because of the copy's restrictions on weirdness, after Ning Xuanqing pointed out the real murderer, they were unable to kill.
At the last moment before entering the door, Weisz turned around and glanced at Ning Xuanqing, who was still in a daze, with undisguised resentment in his gray pupils.
It was not until the wooden door slowly closed that everyone gradually came back to their senses, and Ma Kangning stood up from his chair somewhat inappropriately.
An absurd feeling of frustration arose in his heart. He missed the best opportunity to kill Ning Xuanqing.
Now everyone else was looking at Ning Xuanqing curiously. Wilde looked at her with interest and asked everyone's questions.
"Ms. Ning, how did you know that Weiss was the real murderer?"
After hearing this question, Ning Xuanqing quickly calmed down from the shock in her heart and turned to look at Ma Kangning.
After meeting Ma Kangning's fearful and angry gaze, her fox eyes hidden behind the lenses narrowed dangerously.
From now on, the relationship between hunter and prey is reversed.
"Of course I rely on my intuition." Ning Xuanqing chose a comfortable position and sat back in the chair.
She glanced at everyone calmly and decided to pretend.
D-level single-player copy - playground.
Li Jia had just got off the carousel. She was standing in the open space, holding the railing with her legs feeling weak. A gust of cold wind blew from somewhere, making her face turn pale and she vomited all of a sudden.
The dungeon mission requires participants to experience at least three amusement projects. Li Jia knew that this place must have hidden secrets.
In order to be as safe as possible, she carefully chose an item that looked the most gentle and harmless - a carousel.
However, when she sat on the cute wooden horse, Li Jia realized how naive she was.
After sensing the breath of a living person, the wooden horses that were originally rotating slowly began to spin faster.
Without any protective measures, Li Jia found that the wooden horse was spinning faster and faster, and in the end she couldn't even see the surrounding scenery clearly.
It's like sitting on an airplane with the skylight open, and the plane is flying at a low altitude and high speed.
The violent airflow caused Li Jia's facial muscles to become twisted and deformed. All she could do was hold tightly onto the neck of the wooden horse. If she lost her grip and fell off at this moment, she would surely be killed.
At this time, the speed of the Trojan is still accelerating.
The fear of death made her so scared that she wanted to scream, but the strong air pressure made it impossible for her to make any sound.
The high-speed rotation generated a huge centrifugal force, and Li Jia felt that he was about to be torn apart.
It's over!
Li Jia was even mentally prepared to die, but the carousel suddenly began to slow down, and accompanied by a pungent burnt smell, the madly spinning carousel finally stopped.
It was not known which part was broken, but the project that was originally in progress was forced to stop, and Li Jia was able to get out of it.
She held onto the railing and vomited until her stomach was cramping. Only then did she realize that perhaps her good luck had saved her life again.
"It's so annoying!" Li Jia complained to herself. She now felt a little dizzy when she saw circle-shaped things.
Fortunately, I have already experienced one project, and I can complete it by playing two more projects.
Li Jia tried her best to be optimistic, but when she saw those thrilling rides, she realized that none of them were good people!
What to do?
Just when he was at a loss, Li Jia suddenly saw a colorful house not far away. On the top of the house was a bunch of colorful hydrogen balloons, which looked really dreamy.
A clown with oil paint all over his face appeared at the door of the cottage at some point, and was standing outside the cottage, looking at Li Jia.
Li Jia was a little uncomfortable with the clown's exaggerated and somewhat weird red smile. She reluctantly turned her eyes away and saw the sign standing next to the hut.
□□Happy house.
"Is this something that can only be found in an amusement park?" Li Jia muttered to himself, but his feet walked over involuntarily.
The clown looked at Li Jia coming, and the smile on his face became wider. On his snow-white cheeks painted with bright oil paint, his eyes decorated with exaggerated eyelashes revealed cunning and malice.
"Guest, do you want to play? It will be fun!"
