    Chapter 242

    Ye Xu stared at the five players arguing over there with a bewildered expression, and didn't mean to get involved.

    In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that some of them want to act separately, and some want to act together.

    "There are already several victims. How long does it take to look at each of them? They don't live close together! Of course, they have to act separately, so that everyone can come back and summarize the news after reading it, which can save a lot of time."

    "Take your assumptions for granted, OK? This is a horror escape game. You told us to act separately, do you think we didn't die fast enough?"

    "It's not that you don't have the ability to protect yourself, so what if you separate? As far as our strength is concerned, getting together is probably just a dish, there is no difference."

    "Didn't the NPC say there would be no danger? What are you afraid of? Coward."

    "You believe what the NPC says, you are afraid that you have not been deceived by the NPC, stupid X."

    Ye Xu looked at the sky helplessly, what is so noisy, those who are willing to hold a group, and those who are unwilling to hold a group, go on their own, won't it be over? As for the five people, there are only four dead, so how can you find someone who can hold a group?

    At first, only two people were arguing, but after the quarrel became angry, the rest of the people couldn't stand it anymore.

    "I think if you go in a group and investigate alone, maybe someone will hide key information." One person said meaningfully, after all, this is a dungeon that stipulates "first come, first served". For customs clearance rewards, some people will really do it. out of this kind of thing.

    "If you want to hold a group, you can hold yourselves. I don't want to act with you. It's annoying to be noisy. You quarrel at the beginning of the game, and you are also awesome."

    "I don't want to run to so many places. The last world was exhausting me, and I haven't had a good rest. I'm in favor of one person exploring a place and then coming back to gather. I need to rest."

    The person who proposed to go separately at the beginning raised his brows: "Isn't that right? We three act alone, one chooses a site. If the two of you want to form a group, you two act together, starting from the remaining one, and search the past one by one. , everyone is happy."

    After he finished speaking, he picked a crime scene, turned his head and left, without giving others a chance to refuse.

    The remaining two who proposed to fly solo also quickly chose one and left, leaving the players who advocated grouping standing there and looking at each other in dismay. Ye Xu felt that he was being ignored by this group of people. Although he was standing a bit far away, they shouldn't have forgotten about the fact that there are six players.

    The remaining two finally found Ye Xu who was watching the drama from a distance and had nothing to do with them, and they came over and invited Ye Xu to go with him. Ye Xu politely refused, using the same excuse as the one who said he had no rest, he needed to rest for a while before going to investigate the scene.

    Anyway, nothing could be found at the scene, and he felt that it was a waste of time to go.

    But obviously, his refusal annoyed the two a bit. They glared at Ye Xu and left by themselves. Ye Xu also heard one of them muttering in a low voice: "This person doesn't want to go on purpose. Let us tell him when we finish our investigation, right?"

    "Never mind." The other sneered, "I don't believe those guys will tell the truth, don't tell them if we find anything. They only check one place, we check all four places, it's better than what they know. Lots of information."

    "you're right."

    The two stopped a taxi and took a taxi to the remaining crime scene. Ye Xu looked at their backs from behind, and only felt that it was fortunate that there were no NPCs played by the Awakened in this dungeon, otherwise this group of players would be wiped out in one day.

    If nothing else, he took a taxi directly to the scene from the special office. The fool knew that he was here to investigate this matter. If Ye Xu is the boss behind the scenes, just find an NPC driver to chase after him and cause a traffic accident, and they will be a jerk.

    In contrast, the three solo players who chose to take the subway are smarter. Ye Xu deliberately spared the road when he saw them going out, and didn't go directly. And this is the rush hour for work, and when people are rushing in the subway station, the boss behind the scenes will definitely not be able to find them.

    The two hugged mouths said that they didn't believe what the NPC said, thinking that the black hand behind the scenes would attack them. On the contrary, those who say they believe are more careful, so it is not unreasonable to say that others dare to fly alone.

    Ye Xu found a five-star hotel nearby and stayed in. He said that he wanted to rest, so he must "rest" well. Don't say anything else, let's solve the greedy bugs that were hooked up before.

    So Ye Xu had a good meal in the hotel, returned to the room after eating, locked the door, and teleported to a crime scene. He's not sure how smart the behind-the-scenes boss is this time, so be careful, and he doesn't want to spend time on the road, too strenuous.

    He came to the crime scene stuck at the point where the other players left, and checked the things in the room.

    Because the death was caused by sorcery trading, the murderer should never have appeared here. After coming here, in addition to being able to check the evil spirits here, at most one can see if there are any similarities in the living habits and other aspects of the victims.

    Ye Xu couldn't figure out the evil thing either, he just wanted to know what principles the murderer followed when choosing targets. According to his speculation, first of all, the target must be a poor person who is short of money, otherwise they will not care even if they get the money.

    Secondly, they have to yearn for a luxurious material life and be generous. In this way, the other party will spend money recklessly as soon as he has money, instead of investing or saving the money because he is afraid of being poor, and then using it little by little. After all, the people behind the scenes need them to use up the money as soon as possible so that they can collect their Yangshou.

    Finally, and most importantly, this person must have a very long remaining yang life. No one would choose a short-lived ghost in exchange for his Yangshou, and it would be quite troublesome to toss a deal, so choosing someone with a long remaining lifespan could save a lot of things.

    Ye Xu remembered that the four victims were basically young people, and the only middle-aged person was expected to become a long-lived old man in the future. But there is another thing that makes Ye Xu more concerned, that these victims seem to have no relatives or friends.

    Either the relationship with relatives and friends is weak or even cut off, or he is an orphan. Some are a little introverted and autistic, and even if they have relatives and friends who love them very much, they do not like to contact them.

    In short, after these people got the money, it seems that they did not share it with others, they were all using it by themselves. Does this mean that if the money is donated to someone else, it is not considered spent and must be used by myself?

    In the same way, if a person who loves charity gets the money and donates it, it is estimated that it will not be counted on his head.

    Ye Xu suddenly had a brain hole, if he gave away the money and someone else spent it, would it be considered a failure of the transaction?

    This kind of sorcery usually involves naming and choosing who will do the transaction. If someone outside the transaction is involved, the transaction should be voided. Even if it is not voided and sent to tens of thousands of people at once, he can't find tens of thousands of people to collect interest together.

    Ye Xu stopped this evil idea in time. He didn't have such a windfall in his hand, and he thought about it in vain, although he really wanted to try it, so that the boss behind the scenes vomited some blood.

    Ye Xu walked around the deceased's house twice and found nothing unusual, so he went to the next house. While checking, thought, maybe he was lucky enough to be picked as the next target, after all, he has such a long life.

    As a god child of time and space, his lifespan can at least rival that of a marginal god, and he has long been beyond the scope of mortals. If the boss behind the scenes has a bigger heart and dares to think and act, he should be chosen.

    Then, he received a bank transfer notice, and someone transferred 50 million to him.

    Ye Xu: "..."

    All right, he was sure, he was the chosen son.

    Ye Xu quickly called the bank's customer service to inquire about the situation.

    After the customer service MM heard what Ye Xu said, he asked him to wait for a while, and asked the manager to come over and talk to Ye Xu. However, it was unclear on the phone, so the other party hoped that he could come to the bank for an interview.

    Ye Xu returned to the hotel silently with a black chicken and mackerel expression on his face. Then I looked at the distance between the bank and myself, it was not far, so I just walked over.

    On the way in the past, Ye Xu checked to see if the transfer of 50 million was a real operation. He remembers that the daily transfer limit of many banks is generally within a few million, and they also score several transfers, one 500,000.

    However, he quickly found out that this bank can indeed transfer 50 million directly. Its maximum single-day transfer limit is 50 million, and some banks next door have unlimited single-day transfers.

    Ye Xu was relieved at this time. Fortunately, it was not a fraudulent text message. He was indeed smashed in the head by 50 million. Although he is not short of money now, no one will dislike having more money.

    When he comes out of the bank, he will use the money to go to a top restaurant for a meal.

    ——Anyway, he is confident that even if he spends all the money, it will not be enough for his remaining life.

    So how hard is the behind-the-scenes boss? 50 million wants to buy his life, naive! He didn't even look at how long his remaining Yangshou was, and said it to scare them to death.

    Don't say 50 million, 500 billion may not be able to buy it out, okay?

    Ye Xu was in a good mood. He had already thought of several tricks that would make the Boss vomit blood. But the top priority is to go to the bank to solve the remaining problems and get the money completely.

    At this time, the people in the special office did not know that the people who suddenly made a fortune they were staring at were not the next victims at all. The one who was really targeted by the bad guys not only didn't tell the organization, but also planned to spend the money by himself.

    Trying to eat alone is too much!
