Chapter 81.
"Can I abstain?" someone asked.
"Of course not!"
Edward, Oriel and the other two said in unison, a fierce oppressive force emanating from them, as if anyone who dared not fill it up would be killed immediately.
Seeing this situation, Li Jia and Tang Yu could only write their names honestly.
Conaway took away everyone's paper. Li Jia said to Tang Yu: "I wrote your name, hehe!"
Tang Yu looked at Li Jia in surprise, then leaned over and whispered to her, "I wrote your name, too."
It’s nothing, I just want to be naughty.
At this moment in the cemetery, Ning Xuanqing finally finished reading the notebook in the coffin.
She let out a long breath, calmed down, and then said to Tian Xun and the others, "Don't look for them. I know where they are."
Tian Xun and Tang En had already dug 20 graves. When they heard Ning Xuanqing's words, they continued their work and asked, "Where is it?"
"They must still be in the banquet hall. Martin and Valk haven't replaced them."
Seeing that Tian Xun and the other man were still somewhat skeptical, Ning Xuanqing walked towards them with a notebook.
"This is Martin's diary. It records all the truth. The stories we learned at the beginning were all false. Those townspeople really colluded with each other!"
As she spoke, she exhaled again, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
In Martin's diary, Clarence was not as evil as the townspeople said.
On the contrary, he was a good country gentleman who provided a lot of help to the residents of the town and was a very respected manor owner at the beginning.
But there are three such residents in the town.
Olier coveted Clarence's gentle and beautiful wife, Dave coveted the wealth of the manor, and Willy coveted Clarence's status and power.
The three conspired to divide up everything that belonged to Clarence, and they promised huge profits to the townspeople so that they would not try to interfere.
At that dinner, in full view of everyone, the three men brutally murdered Clarence.
Martin and Valk were the only two townspeople who stood up to stop the tragedy, but they were brutally killed as a result.
Once three lives were lost, the matter became a big deal and the police were called in. Oriel and his two companions threatened the townspeople that they would be killed if they dared to leak the secret.
The panicked townspeople were afraid of being implicated and killed, so they chose to join forces to kill Oriel and the other two.
From then on, there were five neatly arranged tombstones in the Shulin Cemetery.
As for Clarence, because of his status as a lord, he was not buried in this small cemetery.
In order to deal with the police, the townspeople colluded with each other and made up a story that could exonerate them, which was the version that Tang Yu and the others heard.
Ning Xuanqing waited until Tian Xun and the other two finished reading the diary before he said, "Martin and Valk were killed by Oriel and his three companions. They became Oriel's lackeys, but they were unwilling to be controlled, so they wrote this diary."
This is also why when the five people of Oriel were found at the banquet, only three were replaced. Martin and Valk had no intention of following Oriel to do evil.
"So, the three of us being replaced was purely a matter of probability, and we were just more unlucky?"
Tian Xun's hands were covered in mud from digging. He wanted to scratch his head, but he raised his hands and put them down again.
"It's not necessarily our bad luck. At least you have great strength, so the three of us are safe." Ning Xuanqing said, "I just don't know how the two of them are doing now."
She now roughly guessed the dead end of this copy. From the moment Conaway arranged for the five of them to deliver the invitations, they had already entered a dead end.
After O'Neill and his companions appeared at the dinner, three of them must have been buried alive.
If Tian Xun's skills hadn't been just right, the three of them would have been the first to die.
In other words, if Tian Xun was not buried alive, then the three people buried in the cemetery would also be dead.
But this does not mean that the two people who stayed at the party were any better.
In the copy, there were two dinner parties, and both were for the election of mayor, which in itself was a hint.
Everything is a cycle.
Tang Yu and Li Jia who stayed at the party will go through another election, and they will die under the siege of Oriel and the other two just like Martin and Valk did.
What's even more ridiculous is that if Tian Xun wasn't good at digging graves, no one would have thought that there would be another version of Clarence's death.
If the participants cannot find the truth, even if they escape the deadlock at the dinner party, they will not be able to pass the level. Failure to pass the level means that there will be endless deadlocks waiting for them.
Ning Xuanqing quickly told his teammates his analysis.
"How vicious!" Tian Xun took a deep breath after hearing this, not knowing whether he was talking about the copy or this group of weirdos.
The whole town is full of villains!
Tang En asked worriedly, "Aren't Sister Tang Yu and the others in danger now?"
Ning Xuanqing nodded solemnly and said, "Let's go over and rescue them now."
Under the cover of night, the three of them came out of the cemetery and headed straight for the castle.
At this time, the reception hall in the castle was in chaos.
The scene was not exactly the same as what Ning Xuanqing had guessed, but it was very different.
Li Jia pulled Tang Yu to hide under the dining table, and the two of them watched a group of weird people fighting in the banquet hall.
"Is this place safe?" Tang Yu asked Li Jia worriedly as he listened to the crackling sounds of fighting outside.
Li Jia threw a handful of dice and saw a six before he said confidently, "Don't worry, it's safe!"
Just now, Conaway collected all the ballots and began counting the votes.
A misunderstanding occurred. There were a hundred different names on the hundred tickets.
Each of these townspeople wrote his or her name on a piece of paper, and none of Edward and the others who participated in the mayoral election received any votes.
When the results came out, the scene was very awkward for a moment.
"Why didn't you vote for Edward and the others?"
"I'm stupid. No matter which of them is the mayor, I won't have a good life. Didn't you vote for them?"
"I think the same as you. I'm afraid they will kill me. I might as well be the mayor!"
"That's what I thought!"
......
According to Ning Xuanqing's speculation, the result of this election will most likely be voted for Edward.
Then, Oriel and his men fought a fatal battle with Edward, and then Tang Yu and Li Jia were dragged in and died.
But everything changed because of that dinner.
This is a night of frank communication and a night of no deception.
After failing to be elected mayor, Oriel and his two companions became angry and began to curse the townspeople. After the townspeople broke down, they began to expose the crimes of Oriel and others.
Naturally, Oriel and his companions were unwilling to be outdone, and they turned around and began to expose the dirty deeds done by the townspeople.
The servants in the castle were also dragged into the water, and the castle's owner Edward was naturally not spared.
The battle escalated, and those present formed teams arbitrarily, with grudges between them.
It was also a night of craziness and chaos.
At this moment, it seemed that even the copy could not control the chaotic scene. Those monsters that were originally just cursing at each other began to attack each other.
Tang Yu and Li Jia heard a lot of gossip, and in the end, when they saw these guys fighting, they couldn't intervene and could only hide and walk away.
When Tian Xun removed the door of the banquet hall, what the three of them saw was such a chaotic scene.
The place where Tang Yu and Li Jia were hiding happened to be close to the door, so they saw the three people who came to rescue them at a glance.
Tian Xun was holding a knife and was about to rush in to find someone, but in the blink of an eye he saw two people rushing out.
"Hurry! Go!"
Seeing the two people safe and sound, Tian Xun reacted quickly. After the two ran out, he closed the door again.
The group of people fighting weirdly didn't notice the changes at the gate from beginning to end.
The group of five people fled out of the castle panting. They didn't dare to go to the town, nor did they dare to go into the woods. They could only stand in the wilderness and look in the direction of the castle.
"What did you do?" Ning Xuanqing still couldn't figure out what he had just seen.
Li Jia had completely given up thinking at this time. She raised her finger and pointed at Tang Yu and said, "Ask her, don't ask me."
Tang Yu scratched his head, thought for a while, and then briefly described what happened after the three people disappeared.
After Ning Xuanqing heard this, everyone fell silent.
Tang En couldn't help but say, "Just because those weirdos told the truth and exposed each other's shortcomings, they got angry and started fighting each other? Is it really possible?!"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed such an outrageous thing.
His sister seemed to be going further and further down the path of cheating.
"Can those weird truth-telling things have such a powerful killing power?" Tian Xun found it a little unbelievable.
Li Jia continued, "My goodness, you have no idea how many secrets these weirdos have. I was so excited to hear them!"
Ning Xuan rolled his eyes at her and analyzed, "On the surface, this group of weirdos started to speak the truth after eating Tang Yu's food, which is why they fought each other. However, this is not the original intention of this copy. Their hatred should be focused on the participants, but now they are venting it on each other. Perhaps this is also affected by the food?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Although her analysis had no substantial basis, several people felt it made sense.
If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to pass the customs after tonight.
As a C-level multiplayer copy, the difficulty was too low. Although the five of them encountered dangerous situations, they all got through them easily.
What should have been the most dangerous dinner night ended up being spent in such an outrageous way. When they left the castle, they were not even stopped at all!
This is not because there is a bug in the copy, but because the person who entered the copy is a bug.
Everyone looked at Tang Yu. Her skills had indeed been enhanced in a tricky way!
The food on the table that was shared by all the weird things had an invisible influence on their personalities, behavior patterns and thinking, so that they directly deviated from the established process of the copy.
What a vicious cooking skill!
The five people spent that night in the wilderness without encountering any crisis.
The banquet in the castle never ended. They didn't see anyone coming out, and they didn't have the courage to go and see what was going on.
When the day broke, the news that the copy had been cleared rang in the minds of several people.
'Cleared the C-level multiplayer dungeon, the dinner party in the castle, and each person received 800 clearance bonus points.'
'Obtained the C-rank defensive item, the Goldfinch Brooch: Inherit my will and live on!'
'Obtained the E-level skill upgrade item: Confession of a Sinner.'
The five people, exhausted both physically and mentally, didn't even have time to share their items and directly chose to leave the dungeon.
After returning to the middle area, they entered the guild home in tacit understanding, went into their respective rooms, covered themselves with quilts and fell into a deep sleep.
