Chapter 40

After the English test, players finally have some time to relax and review, because the afternoon has passed. The next math test will wait until after dinner and voting.

Tonight's referendum is very important. Whether we can get off to a good start and boost our morale depends on today. After all, in the player's perspective, they still have four ghosts that they haven't caught, and there are only five props. If you use one today and haven't caught a ghost, you will waste one, and it will be difficult to do later.

This time, the players discussed for a while and unanimously decided to choose from Xu Wan'an's roommates.

"There must be ghosts among these three. It's too strange that Xu Wanan died."

"Yes, I can't think of any possibility other than killing people."

"Even if it wasn't the three of them, it must have been among the girls. A male ghost was caught before, and there must be ghosts among the girls. I don't think the male ghosts would go to the girls' dormitory to commit murder."

Impressive reasoning.

So they set their sights on the three girls Qian Xuedong, Meng Ping and Zhang Qinyu.

The three girls are quite calm, the first two are because it doesn't matter if they are eliminated or not, Zhang Qinyu is because she knows that everyone has props, and it really can't be used on her to identify her identity. So basically she won't be wrongly killed, and she doesn't need to panic.

If you panic at this time, it is easy to be regarded as a guilty conscience. Even if you clamor for them to test you, they may not waste the props on you, but directly throw you out.

However, Zhang Qinyu has also been suspiciously looking at his two roommates, apparently also doubting their identities.

"Then who will be chosen to verify the identity?" Everyone was in a bit of trouble for a while.

"Choose one that is not quite sure, and analyze it first."

"Do you still remember how Xu Wan'an died? She was hanged from a fan, so this ghost must have a lot of strength. Ordinary girls can't hang people."

"You can pull it down, it's a ghost, can't it have super powers? You have to hang people up by your own strength, are you tired?"

It makes sense, and the player who was still enthusiastically reasoning just now became quiet. After all, this is not an ordinary crime and reasoning game. Since there are supernatural existences in it, many inferences are untenable.

The situation became stalemate, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

"If you really can't choose, just pick one? Anyway, three people, the probability of picking is quite high. Even if you don't pick, it's easy to choose one of the two remaining."

Although this sentence is nonsense, it is indeed the only option at present. The player holding the prop was a little tangled, then closed his eyes and chose a person.

Coincidentally, Zhang Qinyu was selected. The item glows green, telling them it's a normal player. Immediately afterwards, the props turned into dust and dissipated, and indeed could only be used once.

Now Zhang Qinyu has become the safest of all, because she is the only player who has been verified as a human. She stood beside her with her arms crossed, and watched with cold eyes how the other two defended.

To her surprise, the two roommates did not choose to defend, but stood there quietly, seemingly giving up their resistance.

Weird. Zhang Qinyu frowned, why are they not afraid of being eliminated?

If it is a player, if it is eliminated, it will be obliterated, so many players are very afraid. If it is a ghost, if it is out of the referendum, it will also be obliterated, and it stands to reason that it will also struggle to the death.

Unless the ghost is eliminated, it will not be obliterated, but it will not be able to participate in this game temporarily. When the next round of players enter this world, they will come back to continue.

Zhang Qinyu's face was ugly, she thought, these two roommates are not ghosts, right? She lived with two ghosts for four or five days? So how lucky did she have to be to survive until now?

No wonder Xu Wanan would die, being so close, as long as she found something, she would soon be wiped by a ghost.

Wait, doesn't that mean that no matter who of the two of them gets thrown out, she's going to die tonight? After all, there is still a ghost left, and she is the only one who has determined the identity of the player. If she was a ghost, she would definitely choose such a known person to kill.

After all, what she said must be from the player's standpoint, and she won't help ghosts and deceive people. And killing her is better than killing an unknown person to help the player rule out a suspect.

This is not a werewolf killing game. Ghosts don't need to figure out who is a god and kill him, and they don't have to worry about who has strong reasoning ability and must be eliminated. Anyway, so far, their group of players are a bunch of stupid fish, and they really haven't reasoned out that they are ugly.

In this way, it is not a good thing to be verified.

Moreover, in fact, several people can be voted out in the evening. But even if the other roommate is thrown out, there are other ghosts who can also kill her.

All in all, her situation is very dangerous.

Just when Zhang Qinyu was thinking too much, the players over there had already decided who to vote out of the referendum. Several tall boys tried to go to catch Meng Ping, but Meng Ping avoided it.

"I'll go by myself." She glanced at the unkempt boys with disgust.

These people probably thought it was an escape game anyway. So all of them are sloppy, and they don't know if they have taken a bath these days.

Meng Ping was not willing to get too close to them, but fortunately she walked towards the gate by herself.

Several boys looked at each other, and formed a semi-circle three steps away to enclose her in it to prevent her from running away suddenly as a demon. The only way out for her was the half facing the door.

Meng Ping didn't care about their behavior, and stepped out of the school gate generously.

Just like when Zhou Lang left, Meng Ping also turned into a terrifying look the moment she stepped out of the door, which was her death in reality. She didn't notice it herself, but others could see it clearly.

After she disappeared outside the door, a prompt popped up on the system interface—[Congratulations on finding a ghost, the remaining number: 2. 】

The players cheered excitedly, as if they had accomplished something.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qinyu, who had been looking around calmly and wanted to find out all the ghosts, suddenly said, "Why are there only two ghosts left?"

The players instantly quieted down and quickly looked at the system interface.

Hey, it's two, shouldn't it be three? The last time caught one, the system indicated that there were still four left. It makes no sense to catch one now, but only two are left. Unless Meng Ping is a dual personality ghost, one ghost beats two ghosts.

A senior man hesitated for a while and said, "I have a bolder guess."

Everyone looked at her in unison.

"Is it possible that there are ghosts among those killed by ghosts at night?"

"How is this possible? The ghosts are already dead, why are you still killing your own people?"

"If you say that someone was killed and turned into a ghost, I think it's more reliable."

"If you say that, you can also understand it this way. When the system counts ghosts, it counts the ghosts we already know. It is possible that there were five ghosts in the original setting, and one player died. After the player becomes a ghost, the system will It is considered that we have found one ghost, after all, everyone knows that he has become a ghost, so there are only four ghosts left."

"What if the dead player doesn't become a ghost? How can the system create five ghosts? Before we entered the world, the system must have determined which are human and which are ghosts, and it is impossible to change which player is a ghost halfway through. , is it good to make up the number?"

"Whether dead people become ghosts is not up to the system? It can control itself, so it must be possible to make up to five!"

"..."

The players debated for a long time, but instead accepted this statement. After all, compared to ghost suicide, of course, it is more reliable for players to become ghosts.

They really can't figure out how the ghost committed suicide. It doesn't mean that ghosts can't kill themselves like werewolves. Although there is no antidote for resurrection here, it is possible that ghosts can kill themselves as ghosts after committing suicide, without having to wait until dark.

Looking at Ye Xu and the others, they knew that the captured ghosts couldn't violently resist and hurt people after they were caught. Instead, the ghosts they turned into after death had the opportunity to kill and scare people. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to die and become a ghost.

The main problem is that these dead people have corpses.

From the player's point of view, ghosts are already ghosts, and there should be no corpses. Their current bodies are probably all condensed entities of ghosts. Where do they get a corpse to deal with everyone? Drag out your original body? Won't it rot and stink long ago?

With this, they feel that the possibility of ghost suicide is very small, but it is not as reliable as the number of dead players to become ghosts.

And just like that, players missed the correct answer perfectly. But it doesn't hurt. At most, it makes them more anxious. After all, they may become ghosts and stay here to harm others after they die.

Especially Zhang Qinyu, who always felt that she was going to die tonight.

Thinking that there were only two ghosts left, maybe one of them was the result of the player's death, Zhang Qinyu gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Everyone, wait, I think there should be another ghost!"

Everyone was about to leave to go back to review, when they heard the words, they paused.

Zhang Qinyu is not an ordinary player, so everyone is willing to hear what she wants to say.

"My other roommate should also be a ghost..." Zhang Qinyu slowly explained his speculation.

Now it doesn't matter if he kills the wrong one. If the roommate is human, it's a big deal to seek revenge on her. In this way, she can be eliminated directly, without worrying that she will die at night and become an inhuman monster.

You will die sooner or later, so it's better to give yourself a good time. And if there is really only one ghost left for the night, then she made the right bet, and she will be safe from tonight.

As for the question of whether there is not enough dead at night and the ghost left, Zhang Qinyu also has other ideas. Didn't a player die before and didn't become a ghost? The system can just turn it into a ghost and let it out. It really doesn't work. The system kills one at random, and the probability of selecting her will not be as great as it is now.

Thinking this way, Zhang Qinyu calmed down and became even more calm. As she spoke, she thought about the loopholes in her logic, until she felt that she had said it perfectly, and then she stopped her mouth and waited for other players to judge whether her guess was feasible.

She didn't show it on her face, but she was nervous in her heart. Whether she could survive tonight or not depends on what happened.
